Industry Segment Information [Abstract] |
Industry Segment Information | O. INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company manages its business activities in two reportable segments: Irrigation This reporting segment includes the manufacture and marketing of center pivot, lateral move, and hose reel irrigation systems as well as various water pumping stations and controls. The irrigation reporting segment consists of twelve operating segments that have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria, including similar products, production processes, type or class of customer and methods for distribution. Infrastructure This reporting segment includes the manufacture and marketing of moveable barriers, specialty barriers and crash cushions; providing outsource manufacturing services and the manufacturing and selling of large diameter steel tubing and railroad signals and structures. The infrastructure reporting segment consists of three operating segments that have similar economic characteristics and meet the aggregation criteria. The accounting policies of the two reportable segments are described in the “Accounting Policies” section of Note A. The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on segment sales, gross profit, and operating income, with operating income for segment purposes excluding unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses, interest income, interest expense, other income and expenses, and income taxes. Operating income for segment purposes does include general and administrative expenses, selling expenses, engineering and research expenses and other overhead charges directly attributable to the segment. There are no inter-segment sales. The Company has no single major customer representing 10 percent or more of its total revenues during fiscal 2012, 2011, or 2010. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables:
