16.  Segmented Information

The composition of the Company's reportable segments is as follows:

  • Global Ingredients aggregates the Company's North American-based sunflower and roasted snack operations and international organic ingredients operations.  Global Ingredients included the operations of the specialty and organic soy and corn business that was sold in first quarter of 2019 (see note 4).
  • Consumer Products consists of three main commercial platforms: Healthy Beverages, Healthy Fruit and Healthy Snacks.  Healthy Beverages includes aseptically-packaged products including non-dairy plant-based beverages, broths and teas; refrigerated premium juices; shelf-stable juices and functional waters; and extraction of plant-based beverage ingredients.  Healthy Fruit includes IQF fruits for retail; IQF and bulk frozen fruit for foodservice; and custom fruit preparations for industrial use.  Healthy Snacks is focused on fruit snack offerings and included the ending contribution from the exited flexible resealable pouch and nutrition bar product lines in the first quarter of 2018. 

In addition, Corporate Services provides a variety of management, financial, information technology, treasury and administration services to each of the Company's operating segments from the Company's headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario and administrative office in Edina, Minnesota.

When reviewing the operating results of the Company's operating segments, management uses segment revenues from external customers and segment operating income/loss to assess performance and allocate resources.  Segment operating income/loss excludes other income/expense items.  In addition, interest expense and income taxes are not allocated to the operating segments.
