Note 16 — Segments of Business

The Company’s business activities are organized around and aggregated into its two principal business segments, Flexible Packaging and Pressure Sensitive Materials.  Both internal and external reporting conform to this organizational structure, with no significant differences in accounting policies applied.  Minor intersegment sales 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 general corporate expense, interest expense, other non-operating (income) expense, income taxes, and noncontrolling interests.  While there are similarities in selected technology and manufacturing processes utilized between the Company’s business segments, notable differences exist in products, application and distribution of products, and customer base.

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