SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS

The Company's business activities are organized around and aggregated into its two principal business segments, U.S. Packaging and Global Packaging, based on their similar economic characteristics, products, production process, types of customers, and distribution methods. Both internal and external reporting conforms to this organizational structure, with no significant differences in accounting policies applied. Intersegment sales (which are not significant) are generally priced to reflect nominal markups.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based primarily on operating profit, which is defined as profit before restructuring and acquisition-related costs, general corporate expense, interest expense, other non-operating income, and income taxes. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the tables below were recasted to more clearly reflect that operating segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit before restructuring and acquisition-related costs.

Sales to the Kraft Heinz Company, and its subsidiaries, accounted for approximately 11 and 12 percent of the Company's sales in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company primarily sells to Kraft Heinz Company in the U.S. Packaging segment.

Products produced within the U.S. and Global Packaging business segments service packaging applications for markets such as food, medical devices, pharma, personal care, agribusiness, chemicals, pet food, and consumer products.

A summary of the Company’s business activities reported by its two business segments follows:
