[1] During the first quarter of 2019, we realigned GES’ organizational structure. As a result, we changed GES’ reportable segments to reflect how our chief operating decision maker regularly reviews and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Accordingly, GES’ new reportable segments are GES North America and GES EMEA.
[2] GES’ graphics product revenue is recognized over time as it is considered a part of the single performance obligation satisfied over time.
