Segment Data

The Company’s operating segments are determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is based on operating activities. The Company is currently assessing potential changes to its reportable segments in fiscal 2016 based on the new management organization and the changes anticipated by implementing new business strategies, including the initiatives to exit non-strategic and non-core operations.

Segment operating income (loss) is comprised of segment net revenues less direct cost of staffing services revenue or cost of other revenue, selling, administrative and other operating costs and restructuring and severance costs. The Company allocates all operating costs to the segments except for costs not directly relating to operating activities such as corporate-wide general and administrative costs. These costs are not allocated because doing so would not enhance the understanding of segment operating performance and they are not used by management to measure segment performance.

Commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company changed its methodology for the allocation of costs to more effectively reflect and measure the individual businesses' financial and operational efficiency. Prior period segment results have been revised for these changes.

Financial data concerning the Company’s revenue and segment operating income (loss) by reportable operating segment for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016 and August 2, 2015 are summarized in the following tables (in thousands):
