Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

22. Segment Information

The Company has four reportable segments, which are described in Note 1. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments and reportable segments based on their sales and operating income. All corporate expenses are allocated to the Company’s operating segments using an allocation methodology prescribed by U.S. Government regulations for government contractors. Accordingly, all costs and expenses, except for the goodwill impairment charge in 2011 (which was not included in the Company’s segment performance measures), are included in the Company’s measure of segment profitability. Certain Corporate expenses of $10 million and $26 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, that had previously been allocated to the Engility businesses were retained by the Company and were allocated to L-3’s four reportable segments. The tables below present net sales, operating income, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures and total assets by reportable segment.
