22. Segment and Geographic Information

 Effective September 30, 2018, the Company began reporting and evaluating financial information for three operating business segments: Oil and Gas Markets, Adjacent Markets and Emerging Markets.  The Oil and Gas Markets segment was previously referred to as our Seismic segment.  This segment’s products include wireless seismic data acquisition systems, reservoir characterization products and services, and traditional seismic exploration products such as geophones, hydrophones, leader wire, connectors, cables, marine streamer retrieval and steering devices and various other seismic products.  Our Adjacent Markets segment was previously referred to as our Non-Seismic segment.  This segment’s products include imaging equipment, water meter products, offshore cables, as well as seismic sensors used for vibration monitoring and geotechnical applications such as mine safety applications and earthquake detection.  The Emerging Markets segment was added in conjunction with the acquisition of Quantum, which designs and markets seismic products targeted at the border and perimeter security markets.  

The following tables summarize the Company’s segment information:
