On January 31, 2013, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its Grass Technologies Product Group (Grass) in order to focus on its existing core businesses. Consequently, the Company has classified the results of operations of Grass as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Refer to Note 14, “Discontinued Operations” for a further discussion. The Company evaluates segment performance based on the segment profit before corporate expenses. Summarized below are the Net Sales and Segment Operating Profit for each reporting segment:
