Business Segments

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision maker ("CODM").  Our CODM evaluates both consolidated and disaggregated financial information at each manufacturing facility in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.  Each manufacturing facility functions as a separate cost center, manufactures the same products, ships product to the same group of customers, and utilizes the same cast manufacturing process and, as a result, production can be transferred among our facilities.  Accordingly, we operate as a single integrated business and, as such, have only one operating segment - original equipment aluminum automotive wheels.  Net sales and net property, plant and equipment by geographic area are summarized below.
