Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company is a leading global, technology-driven developer, producer and marketer of engineered materials, primarily focused on the production of nonwoven products. The Company operates through four reportable segments, with the main source of revenue being the sales of primary and intermediate products to consumer and industrial markets. The Company has one major customer that accounts for over 10% of its business, the loss of which would have a material adverse impact on reported financial results. Sales to this customer are reported within each of the reportable segments. Segment information is based on the “management” approach which designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance. The Company manages its business on a geographic basis, as each region provides similar products and services. The reportable segments are consistent with the manner in which financial information is desegregated for internal review and decision making. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K. Intercompany sales between the segments are eliminated. In light of the recent acquisition of Providência, the Company realigned its reportable segments during the third quarter of 2014 to more closely reflect our corporate and business strategies and to promote additional productivity and growth. Reportable segments are now as follows: North America, South America, Europe and Asia. The operations previously reported in the Oriented Polymers segment are now included within the North America segment, along with the operations in Mexico. The South America segment includes the Providência operations in Brazil in addition to our previously existing operations in Colombia and Argentina. The Europe and Asia segments remain unchanged. Prior year information has been updated to conform to the current year presentation. Financial data by reportable segment is as follows:
