9. Segment Information

The Company operates in three geographic segments: Americas, Europe, and APMEA. Each of these segments sells similar products and has separate financial results that are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision‑maker. Each segment earns revenue and income almost exclusively from the sale of our products.  The Company sells its products into various end markets around the world, with sales by region based upon location of the entity recording the sale. Products are sold into four product categories: 1) residential & commercial flow control products, 2) HVAC & gas products, 3) drainage & water re-use products, and 4) water quality products.  The Americas sells products across all four product categories, Europe primarily sells residential & commercial flow products, HVAC & gas products and drainage products, and APMEA primarily sells residential & commercial flow products and HVAC & gas products.  All intercompany sales transactions have been eliminated. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

As of January 1, 2017, the Company began reporting the results of Watts Industries Middle East FZE (“Watts Middle East”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, as part of the Company’s former Asia-Pacific segment, which is now referred to as APMEA. Watts Middle East had previously been reported within the former EMEA segment, which is now referred to as Europe. This change in segment composition aligns with the structure of the Company’s internal organization and did not result in a material change to previously reported segment information. The 2016 results by segment have been retrospectively revised for comparative purposes.

The following is a summary of the Company’s significant accounts and balances by segment, reconciled to its consolidated totals:
