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 Company's 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:

Appliances and Cookware |  | Calphalon®, Crock-Pot®, Mr. Coffee®, Oster® and Sunbeam® |  | Household products, including kitchen appliances, gourmet cookware, bakeware and cutlery

(1)All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. (2)Operating income (loss) by segment is net sales less cost of products sold, SG&A and impairment of goodwill, intangibles and other assets for continuing operations. Certain headquarters 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 the allocated depreciation and amortization are included in segment operating income. (3)Geographic sales information is based on the region from which the products are shipped and invoiced. Long-lived assets by geography are not presented because it is impracticable to do so. Sales to Walmart Inc. and subsidiaries amounted to approximately 15% of consolidated net sales in 2020, 2019 and 2018, substantially across all segments. Sales to Amazon amounted to approximately 12%, 9% and 8% of consolidated net sales in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, substantially across all segments. The following table disaggregates revenue by major product grouping source and geography for the years ended December 31, (in millions):

Beginning January 1, 2021, the Company will report the operating results of its cookware product lines as part of the Food reporting unit within the Home Solutions segment, and no longer as part of the Appliances and Cookware segment. This change was the result of an assessment by the CODM to better align the cookware product lines with other similar product lines in various food categories. In connection with this change, the CEO for the Foods business will assume full responsibility for the overall brand strategy, business modeling, marketing and innovation of these product lines. The Company has determined this product line change did not result in a change to either of its Home Solutions or Appliances and Cookware reportable segments. Subsequent to this change, the Appliances and Cookware segment will be referred to as Home Appliances. The Company will recast prior period comparable results for both of these segments in its first quarter 2021 reporting to conform to this product line change.
