SEGMENT INFORMATION [Abstract] |
SEGMENT INFORMATION |
6. | SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates in a single operating segment by selling products through a global network of independent distributors that operates in a seamless manner from market to market, except for its operations in Mainland China. In Mainland China, the Company utilizes sales employees, contractual sales promoters, and independent direct sellers to distribute its products. Contractual sales promoters sell products in similar fashion to the Company's sales employees, but act as independent agents to sell products through its retail stores and website. Independent direct sellers can sell away from the Company's stores in jurisdictions where the Company has obtained a direct sales license to do so. Selling expenses are the Company's largest expense comprised of the commissions paid to its worldwide independent distributors as well as remuneration to its sales force in Mainland China. The Company manages its business primarily by managing its sales force. The Company does not use profitability reports on a regional or divisional basis for making business decisions. However, the Company does report revenue in five geographic regions: Greater China, North Asia, Americas, South Asia/Pacific and EMEA. Revenue generated in each of these regions is set forth below (U.S. dollars in thousands):
