Information regarding our reportable business segments is presented below (in thousands). Segment results exclude the impact of amortization of intangible assets, certain general corporate expenses and various non-recurring and integration charges, as defined by management. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Company. We allocate resources and evaluate the performance of segments based on net sales, gross profit, operating income and other non-GAAP measures, as defined. We do not allocate assets to reportable segments because a significant portion of our assets are shared by segments.
