Dec. 31, 2012
Segment Reporting | Note 13 — Segment Reporting Segment information is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing the performance of the Company. Essentially, management evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on operating income. Such accounting policies are the same as those described in Note 2. The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:
| • |  | Climate Control Seats (CCS) — variable temperature seat climate control system designed to improve the temperature comfort of automobile passengers produced by historical Gentherm. This segment also includes the heated and cooled cup holder and heated and cooled mattress divisions to which results individually are not currently significant.
| • |  | Advanced Technology (formerly BSST) — a division engaged in research and development efforts to improve the efficiency of thermoelectric devices and to develop, market and distribute products based on this technology.
| • |  | W.E.T. — The W.E.T. acquisition is being evaluated currently as an individual segment until such time as Gentherm is able to fully evaluate and implement its future integration plans and strategy.
The tables below present segment information about the reported product revenues and operating income of the Company for years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. Asset information by segment is not reported since the Company does not manage assets at a segment level at this time.
