Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

Segment Reporting

We offer substantially similar products and services throughout many different regions, subject to local regulations and market conditions. We evaluate our business in two operating segments: the North America Segment (consisting of operations in the U.S. and Canada) and the International Segment (consisting of operations in all other countries). Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our business based on these operating segments. The management of each segment is responsible for executing our strategies.

For segment reporting purposes only, interest expense related to the senior notes has been allocated based on targeted leverage for each segment. Interest expense in excess of the targeted overall leverage is reflected in the "Corporate" column below. In addition, the interest income on $1.7 billion in intercompany loans provided to the international operations is presented in the "Corporate" column as revenue.

All inter-segment balances and transactions have been eliminated. Key financial data for our operating segments were as follows (in millions):
