P. Financial Information by Segment

The Company identifies a business as an operating segment if: i) it engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; ii) its operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and iii) it has available discrete financial information. The Company has determined that all of its businesses are operating segments. The CODM reviews financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and financial performance for each operating segment. Operating segments are aggregated into a reportable segment if the operating segments are determined to have similar economic characteristics and if the operating segments are similar in the following areas: i) nature of products and services; ii) nature of production processes; iii) type or class of customer for their products and services; iv) methods used to distribute the products or provide services; and v) if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment.

The Company has four reportable segments: Reinforcement Materials, Performance Materials, Advanced Technologies and Purification Solutions. Reinforcement Materials represents the Company’s Rubber Blacks Business. Purification Solutions represents the Company’s Activated Carbon Business. Performance Materials is an aggregation of the Specialty Carbons and Compounds and Fumed Metal Oxides Businesses, which are similar in terms of economic characteristics, nature of products, processes, customer class and product distribution methods.

The Company has combined and disclosed four of its operating segments (Specialty Fluids, Inkjet, Aerogel and Elastomer Composites) into an other reportable segment labeled “Advanced Technologies”. The Security Materials business was previously included in the Advanced Technologies reportable segment. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, as discussed in Note D, the Company reached an agreement to sell its Security Materials business. Accordingly, results of the Security Materials Business for all periods presented have been recast as discontinued operations.

Reportable segment operating profit (loss) before interest and taxes (“Segment EBIT”) is presented for each reportable segment in the financial information by reportable segment table below on the line entitled Income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes. Segment EBIT excludes certain items, meaning items considered by management to be unusual and not representative of segment results. In addition, Segment EBIT includes Equity in net income of affiliated companies, net of tax, the full operating results of a contractual joint venture in Purification Solutions, royalties, Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax, and discounting charges for certain Notes receivable, but excludes Interest expense, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, interest income, dividend income, unearned revenue, the effects of LIFO accounting for inventory, general unallocated (expense) income and unallocated corporate costs.

Prior year Purification Solutions Segment EBIT has been adjusted to include an allocation of corporate administrative and functional support costs, which were previously reflected in unallocated corporate costs and other segment results. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, a reclassification has been made in the Purification Solutions segment information in order to align the presentation of shipping and handling costs on customer sales with the rest of the Company’s businesses. The reclassification was made between Purification Solutions and Unallocated and other to include the shipping and handling costs in Revenues from external customers. There is no impact on Segment EBIT as a result of the reclassification. Historical periods have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification.

Unallocated corporate costs are not controlled by the operating segments and primarily benefit corporate interests.

(d)

General unallocated (expense) income consists of gains (losses) arising from foreign currency transactions, net of other foreign currency risk management activities, the impact of accounting for certain inventory on a LIFO basis, the profit or loss related to the corporate adjustment for unearned revenue, and the impact of including the full operating results of an equity affiliate in Purification Solutions Segment EBIT.
