Segment Information

Note 18. Segment Information

The Company operates primarily in the printing industry, with related products and service offerings designed to offer customers complete solutions for communicating their messages to target audiences. The Company's reportable segments reflect the management reporting structure of the organization and the manner in which the chief operating decision-maker regularly assesses information for decision-making purposes, including the allocation of resources. The Company's segments and their products and service offerings are summarized below:

U.S. Print and Related Services

The U.S. Print and Related Services segment includes the Company's U.S. printing operations, managed as one integrated platform, along with logistics, premedia, print management and other print related services. This segment's products and related service offerings include magazines, catalogs, retail inserts, books, directories, financial printing and related services, direct mail, forms, labels, office products, statement printing, premedia and logistics services.

The U.S. Print and Related Services segment accounted for approximately 74% of the Company's consolidated net sales in 2011.

International

The International segment includes the Company's non-U.S. printing operations in Asia, Europe, Latin America and Canada. This segment's products and related service offerings include magazines, catalogs, retail inserts, books, directories, financial printing and related services, direct mail, forms, labels, packaging, manuals, statement printing, premedia and logistics services. Additionally, this segment includes the Company's business process outsourcing and Global Turnkey Solutions operations. Business process outsourcing provides transactional print and outsourcing services, statement printing, direct mail and print management services through its operations in Europe, Asia and North America. Global Turnkey Solutions provides outsourcing capabilities, including product configuration, customized kitting and order fulfillment for technology, medical device and other companies around the world through its operations in Europe, North America and Asia.

The International segment accounted for approximately 26% of the Company's consolidated net sales in 2011.

Corporate

Corporate consists of unallocated general and administrative activities and associated expenses including, in part, executive, legal, finance, information technology, human resources, certain facility costs and LIFO inventory provisions. In addition, certain costs and earnings of employee benefit plans, primarily components of net pension and postretirement benefits expense other than service cost, are included in Corporate and not allocated to operating segments. In addition, Corporate manages the Company's cash pooling structure, which enables participating international locations to draw on the Company's overseas cash resources to meet local liquidity needs.

The Company has disclosed income (loss) from operations as the primary measure of segment earnings (loss). This is the measure of profitability used by the Company's chief operating decision-maker and is most consistent with the presentation of profitability reported within the Consolidated Financial Statements
