Segment Information

The Company conducts its operations through four geographic operating and reportable segments — North America, Europe, Latin America, and Africa/Asia Pacific. The Company’s operating and reportable segments align with the structure of the Company’s internal management organization. All four segments engage in the development, design, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of copper, aluminum, and fiber optic communication, construction, electric utility and electrical infrastructure wire and cable products. In addition to the above products, the North America and Latin America segments manufacture and distribute rod mill wire and cable products.

Net revenues as shown below represent sales to external customers for each segment. Intersegment sales have been eliminated. For the year ended December 31, 2016, intersegment sales were $38.0 million in North America, $9.9 million in Europe, $22.9 million in Latin America and $0.2 million in Africa/Asia Pacific. For the year ended December 31, 2015, intersegment sales were $29.8 million in North America, $18.3 million in Europe and $19.5 million in Latin America. For the year ended December 31, 2014, intersegment sales were $31.5 million in North America, $55.8 million in Europe, $31.7 million in Latin America and $0.5 million in Africa/Asia Pacific.

The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on segment operating income. Summarized financial information for the Company's reportable segments is as follows:
