Our business constitutes a single operating segment, which derives its revenues predominantly from global sales of beverage alcohol consumer products.
Our Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision maker, who manages business operations, evaluates performance, and allocates resources based on segment metrics such as net sales, gross profit, operating income, and net income. Significant segment expenses include cost of sales, advertising expenses, and selling, general, and administrative expenses. Other segment items include (when applicable): restructuring and other charges; gain on business divestitures; other expense (income), net; non-operating postretirement expense; interest income; interest expense; equity method investment income and gain on sale; and income taxes.

The segment’s assets, expenditures for additions to long-lived assets, and depreciation and amortization are the same as the consolidated amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows.
