Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company has four business segments. These business segments are components of the Company for which separate information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief executive officer in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing relative performance. The Company's four business segments are divided based on the different characteristics of their distributor and customer bases, distributor compensation plans and product formulations, as well as the internal organization of its officers and their responsibilities and business operations. Three business segments operate under the Nature’s Sunshine Products brand (NSP Americas; NSP Russia, Central and Eastern Europe; and NSP China), and one business segment operates under the Synergy® WorldWide brand. Net sales 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. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company moved the reporting of its wholesale business, in which the Company sells its products to a locally managed entity independent of the Company that has distribution rights for the market, from the NSP China segment to the NSP Russia, Central and Eastern Europe segment. The net sales and contribution margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were recast to reflect that change. Reportable business segment information is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):
