Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company appointed separate Chief Executive Officers for its Food and Commercial business units, each reporting directly to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The Company determined these appointments required a reassessment of its operating and reportable segments. As a result of its assessment, the Company concluded that the Food and Commercial business units were two separate operating segments but met the requirements to be aggregated into a single reportable segment, pursuant to authoritative accounting literature, as they had similar economic and qualitative characteristics.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company implemented further changes to its management reporting structure, which included:
The appointment of Chief Executive Officers for the Appliances and Cookware and Outdoor and Recreation business units;
Expanding the responsibilities of the Food business unit Chief Executive Officer to include oversight of the Home Fragrance business unit; and
Expanding the responsibilities of the Commercial business unit Chief Executive Officer to include oversight of the Connected Home & Security business unit.

The Company determined these appointments required a reassessment of its operating and reportable segments. As a result of its assessment, the Company concluded that it had the following five primary reportable segments:

This new structure reflects the manner in which the chief operating decision maker regularly assesses information for decision-making purposes, including the allocation of resources. The Company also provides general corporate services to its segments which is reported as a non-operating segment, Corporate. As a result of these changes, net sales, operating income (loss) and impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and segment assets as of December 31, 2019 have been recast for the new segment structure. Selected information by segment is presented in the following tables (in millions):

Certain Corporate expenses of an operational nature are allocated to business segments primarily on a net sales basis. Corporate depreciation and amortization is allocated to the segments on a percentage of sales basis, and included in segment operating income.
(3)During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges to reflect impairment of intangible assets related to certain of the Company’s indefinite-lived trade names and goodwill. During the six months
