Segment Information [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Note 20. Segment Information The Company’s reportable segments consist of U.S. Nonwovens, Europe Nonwovens, Asia Nonwovens, Latin America Nonwovens and Oriented Polymers. This reflects how the overall business is managed by the Company’s senior management and reviewed by the Board of Directors. The Nonwovens businesses sell to the same end-use markets, such as hygiene, medical, wipes and industrial markets. Sales to P&G accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s sales in each of the periods presented. Sales to this customer are reported primarily in the Nonwovens segments and the loss of these sales would have a material adverse effect on those segments. The segment information presented in the table below excludes the results of Difco. As discussed in further detail in Note 5 “Discontinued Operations”, Difco is accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with the guidance of ASC 205. As a result of the recently announced internal redesign and restructuring of global operations initiative, as more fully described in Note 23 “Subsequent Events”, the Company is currently evaluating whether its reportable segments will need to be modified. The Company anticipates that it will conclude its analysis regarding its future reportable segments prior to the filing of its second quarter 2012 Quarterly Report on Form10-Q. Financial data by segment is as follows (in thousands):
