Segment Information and Geographic Data
Prior to the Acquisition on October 27, 2014, the Company's operations were within 1 reportable segment. As a result of the Acquisition, the company has realigned its operations into 2 reportable segments; Legacy Zebra and Enterprise.

The operating segments have been identified based on the financial data utilized by the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker) to assess segment performance and allocate resources among the Company's segments. The chief operating decision maker used adjusted operating income to access segment profitability.

The accounting policies of the segments are in accordance with Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Segment assets are not reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker and therefore are not disclosed below.

Financial information by segment is presented as follows:
