Segment Information
Segment Information


In the second quarter of 2011, we reorganized our business to better align with our markets.  All prior period amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this reorganization.  Factors used to identify our segments include, among others, products, technologies and customers.  Segment information reported herein is consistent with how it is reviewed and evaluated by our chief operating decision makers.  After our reorganization, we have the following four reportable segments:


DRAM Solutions Group ("DSG"): Includes DRAM products sold to the PC, consumer electronics, networking and server markets.
NAND Solutions Group ("NSG"):  Includes high-volume NAND Flash products sold into data storage, personal music players, and the high-density computing markets, as well as NAND Flash products sold to Intel through our consolidated IM Flash joint ventures.
Wireless Solutions Group ("WSG"):  Includes DRAM, NAND Flash and NOR Flash products, including multi-chip packages, sold to the mobile device market.
Embedded Solutions Group ("ESG"):  Includes DRAM, NAND Flash and NOR Flash products sold into automotive and industrial applications, as well as NOR and NAND flash sold to consumer electronics, networking, PC and server markets.


Our other operations do not meet the quantitative thresholds of a reportable segment and are reported under All Other.  All Other includes our CMOS image sensor, microdisplay and solar operations.


For 2011, certain operating expenses that are directly associated with the activities of a specific reportable segment are charged to that segment.  Other indirect operating expenses are generally allocated to the reportable segments based on their respective percentage of total cost of goods sold or forecast wafer production.  Prior to 2011, operating expenses are allocated to the reportable segments based on their respective percentage of total cost of goods sold, as certain historical forecast data was not available.


We do not identify or report internally our assets or capital expenditures by segment, nor do we allocate gains and losses from equity method investments, interest, other nonoperating income or expense items or taxes to operating segments.  There are no differences in the accounting policies for segment reporting and our consolidated results of operations.
