Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segment Data

Business Segment Data

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company revised its reporting segments. Previously the Company had two reporting segments: Architectural Products and Services and Large-Scale Optical Technologies (LSO). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company expanded the number of reporting segments to four as it separated the Architectural Products and Services segment into three reporting segments: Architectural Glass, Architectural Framing Systems and Architectural Services. The LSO reporting segment remains unchanged. Prior year comparative information has been recast to conform to the current reporting segment presentation.

The Architectural Glass segment fabricates glass used in customized window and wall systems comprising the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings. The Architectural Framing Systems segment designs, engineers and fabricates the aluminum frames used in customized aluminum and glass window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems comprising the outside skin and entrances of commercial and institutional buildings. The Company has aggregated three operating segments into the Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment based upon their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics. The Architectural Services segment designs, engineers, fabricates and installs the walls of glass and windows comprising the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings for new construction and renovation. The LSO segment manufactures value-added glass and acrylic products for the custom picture framing market.

The following table presents certain data for the Company's four reporting segments, and consolidated data, for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Due to the varying combinations and integration of individual window, storefront and curtainwall systems, the Company has determined that it is impractical to report product revenues generated by class of product, beyond the segment revenues currently reported.

The following table presents net sales, based on the location in which the sale originated, and long-lived assets, representing property, plant and equipment, net of related depreciation, by geographic region.

(In thousands)	2013		2012		2011
Net Sales from continuing operations
United States	$	668,243	$	628,362	$	579,127

Apogee's export net sales from domestic operations of $63.5 million for fiscal 2013 were approximately 9 percent of consolidated net sales, export net sales of $75.7 million for fiscal 2012 were approximately 11 percent of consolidated net sales, and export sales of $79.4 million for fiscal 2011 were approximately 14 percent of consolidated net sales. All sales from Brazil were to customers outside the United States, and are subject to changes in the value of foreign currencies in relation to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. No single customer, including government agencies, accounts for 10 percent or more of consolidated net sales.

Segment operating income is equal to net sales less cost of sales and operating expenses. Operating income does not include provision for interest expense or income taxes. Corporate and other includes miscellaneous corporate activity not allocable to business segments.

Included in the identifiable assets for Corporate and other are the short and long-term marketable securities available for sale at corporate and Prism of $38.8 million in fiscal 2013 and $19.6 million in fiscal 2012. Also included are short and long-term restricted investments at corporate of $26.4 million in fiscal 2013 and $23.1 million in fiscal 2012.
