Q.  INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION 

 

The Company manages its business activities in two reportable segments: Irrigation and Infrastructure.  The accounting policies of the two reportable segments are the same as those described in Note A, Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies.  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.   

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, controls, filtration solutions and M2M technology.  The irrigation reporting segment consists of five 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, crash cushions and end terminals, and road marking and road safety equipment; the manufacturing and selling of large diameter steel tubing and railroad signals and structures; and providing outsourced manufacturing and production services.  The infrastructure reporting segment consists of one operating segment.

 

The Company has no single major customer representing 10 percent or more of its total revenues during fiscal 2015,  2014, or 2013.

 

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables:
