The chief operating decision maker (CODM) is the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates operational performance based on each segment's earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (EBIT). We define segment EBIT as operating profit less interest and sundry (income) expense and excluding restructuring costs, asset impairment charges and certain other items, if any, that management believes are not indicative of the segment's ongoing performance. Cost of products sold is the significant expense regularly reviewed by the CODM and consists of costs associated with products sold, including but not limited to materials, labor, freight and warehousing. Other segment expenses/ (income) primarily include selling, general and administrative items. Total assets by segment are those assets directly associated with the respective operating activities. The "Other/Eliminations" column primarily includes corporate expenses, assets and eliminations, as well as restructuring costs, asset impairment charges and certain other items that management believes are not indicative of the segment's ongoing performance. Intersegment sales are eliminated within each segment.
