Business Segment Information

NOTE C—Business Segment Information

        The accounting policies of the Company's segments are the same as those described in Note A—"General." The Company evaluates performance of its segments based on income before income taxes, before stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, gain on sale of assets, and special charges or benefits ("Segment Profit"). Management uses Segment Profit information for internal reporting and control purposes and considers it important in making decisions regarding the allocation of capital and other resources, risk assessment and employee compensation, among other matters. Effective September 1, 2010, Public Sector has subcontracted with Pharmacy Solutions to provide pharmacy benefits management services on a risk basis for one of Public Sector's customers. As such, revenue and cost of care related to this intersegment arrangement are eliminated. The Company's segments are defined above. The Pharmacy Solutions segment contains the operating segments previously defined as the Specialty Pharmaceutical Management segment and the Medicaid Administration segment. Prior period balances have been reclassified to reflect this change.

        The following tables summarize, for the periods indicated, operating results by business segment (in thousands):

Stock compensation expense is included in direct service costs and other operating expenses, however this amount is excluded from the computation of Segment Profit since it is managed on a consolidated basis.
