Net Sales – Segment net sales are attributed to individual segments based on the geographic source of the billing for such customer sales. Intercompany sales include finished products manufactured in foreign countries which are then transferred to the United States and Europe for sale; finished goods manufactured in the United States which are transferred to Europe and Asia for sale; and semi-finished components manufactured in the United States which are sold to Asia for further processing. Income from operations represents net sales less operating costs and expenses and does not include any amounts related to intercompany transactions. The following items are included in the segment data presented above: Restructuring Charges – The following restructuring charges are included in income (loss) from operations by segment. See Note 3, "Restructuring Activities," for further information on the Company's restructuring efforts.

Impairment Charges – As discussed in Note 4, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company recorded a $106.0 million non-cash impairment charge related to its goodwill and trademarks in 2016. Of this charge, $44.0 million was recorded in the Company's North America segment, $41.7 million was recorded in its Asia segment and $20.3 million was recorded in its Europe segment. These charges impacted the Company's income from operations for 2016 and the reduction in goodwill accounted for the majority of the decline in total assets from December 31, 2015 noted above.

Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment, net and other assets of the Company that are identified with the operations of each geographic area. The territory of Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region ("SAR") of the PRC in the middle of 1997. The territory of Macao became a SAR of the PRC at the end of 1999. Management cannot presently predict what future impact this will have on the Company, if any, or how the political climate in the PRC will affect the Company's contractual arrangements in the PRC. A significant portion of the Company's manufacturing operations and approximately 36.9% of its identifiable assets are located in Asia. Net Sales to Major Customers The Company had net sales to one customer in excess of ten percent of consolidated net sales in each of 2017, 2016 and 2015. The net sales associated with this customer was $57.7 million in 2017 (11.7% of sales), $59.8 million in 2016 (12.0% of sales) and $74.8 million in 2015 (13.2% of sales). Net sales related to this significant customer were primarily reflected in the Asia operating segment during each of the three years discussed.
