OPERATING BUSINESS SEGMENT AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATION INFORMATION |
OPERATING BUSINESS SEGMENT AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATION INFORMATION | NOTE 13: OPERATING BUSINESS SEGMENT AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATION INFORMATION The Company has three business segments. These business segments are components of the Company for which separate information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief executive officer in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing relative performance. The Company has two business segments that operate under the Nature’s Sunshine Products brand and are divided based on the characteristics of their Distributor base, similarities in compensation plans, as well as the internal organization of NSP’s officers and their responsibilities (NSP Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe; and NSP Russia, Central and Eastern Europe). The Company’s third business segment operates under the Synergy WorldWide brand, which distributes its products through different selling and Distributor compensation plans and products with formulations that are sufficiently different from those of the NSP Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe; and NSP Russia, Central and Eastern Europe to warrant accounting for these operations as a separate business segment. Net sales revenues for each segment have been reduced by intercompany sales as they are not included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief executive officer. The Company evaluates performance based on contribution margin (loss) by segment before consideration of certain inter-segment transfers and expenses. Reportable business segment information for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:
