Segment Information

The Company conducts its operations through three geographic reportable segments — North America, Europe and Mediterranean, and ROW, which consists of operations in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The Company’s reportable segments align with the structure of the Company’s internal management organization. All three segments engage in the development, design, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of copper, aluminum, and fiber optic communication, electric utility and electrical infrastructure wire and cable products. In addition to the above products, the ROW segment and the Europe and Mediterranean segment develops, designs, manufactures, markets and distributes construction products and the ROW segment manufactures and distributes rod mill wire and cable products.
