1. Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments and two operating segments based on its geographic locations: the Americas and Europe. These two segments are aligned with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass operations. Certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the segments or to glass manufacturing are reported within Retained corporate costs and other. These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, global engineering, certain equity investments and certain minor businesses in the Asia Pacific region. Retained corporate costs and other also includes certain headquarters administrative and facilities costs and certain incentive compensation and other benefit plan costs that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reportable segments.

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that consists of consolidated earnings before interest income, interest expense, and provision for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other adjustments, as well as certain retained corporate costs. The Company’s management, including the chief operating decision maker (defined as the Chief Executive Officer), uses segment operating profit, supplemented by net sales and selected cash flow information, to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Segment operating profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Segment operating profit is not a recognized term under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and, therefore, does not purport to be an alternative to earnings (loss) before income taxes. Further, the Company’s measure of segment operating profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

In accordance with ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” the Company has disclosed significant segment expenses reviewed by its chief operating decision maker. Other segment expenses (income) includes intangible amortization expense (Americas only), foreign currency exchange gains or losses, certain overhead expenses and other gains or losses. Certain prior year presentations have been recast below to conform to these new reporting requirements.

Financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows, as well as a reconciliation of segment operating profit to earnings before income taxes:
