10. Segments and Related Information
The Company’s operational and management structure is aligned to its key geographies and go-to market strategy resulting in two reportable segments: North America (“NAM”) and Europe & Rest of World (“E&RW”). Operating segments have not been aggregated to form the reportable segments. The Company’s CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company determined its reportable segments based on how the Company’s CODM reviews the Company’s operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM uses segment income in assessing performance of and allocating resources to the reportable segments. Segment income is defined as net sales less cost of sales, less segment selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) and segment research development and engineering expense (“RD&E”), excluding acquisition and restructuring related expense, as well as amortization of intangible assets recorded within SG&A expense.
The CODM does not evaluate reportable segments using asset information as these are managed on an enterprise-wide basis. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of Hayward.
NAM manufactures and sells residential and commercial swimming pool equipment and supplies as well as equipment that controls the flow of fluids.
E&RW manufactures and sells residential and commercial swimming pool equipment and supplies.
The Company sells its products primarily through distributors and retailers. Financial information by reportable segment, net of intercompany transactions, is included in the following summary (in thousands):
