Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

Our reporting structure is comprised of the following operating segments: High Performance Foams (HPF), Printed Circuit Materials (PCM), Power Electronics Solutions (PES) and the Other reportable segment. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we determined that a realignment of our segment structure was appropriate in order to present our financial results in a manner consistent with how management operates the business. In particular, the management of the Curamik Electronic Solutions and Power Distribution Systems operations were combined under one segment management team and these former operating segments now meet the reporting definition of product lines, as the management team has full cross functional and regional responsibility over all aspects of these product lines. Further, information is reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the President and Chief Executive Officer of Rogers) at the Power Electronics Solutions level. We believe this structure aligns our external reporting presentation with how we currently manage and view our business internally. All prior periods herein have been recast to support this change.

The following table sets forth the information about our reportable segments for the periods indicated:
