Segment Information

The Company evaluates performance based on operating income before share-based compensation (except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders); restructuring and other charges, including Portfolio Optimization Plan costs; interest expense; and income taxes (segment operating income). Total revenue and segment operating income by business segment and geographic region include both sales to customers, as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings, and intersegment sales, which are accounted for at prices that approximate market prices and are eliminated in consolidation.

Assets by business segment and geographic region are those assets used in the Company’s operations in each segment and geographic region. Segment assets reflect the allocation of goodwill to each segment. Corporate & Other assets consist primarily of accounts receivables from the securitization program, investments, deferred tax assets, and fixed assets.

The Company determines its operating segments based on information utilized by its chief operating decision maker (CODM) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses segment operating income or loss to allocate resources, which includes employees, financial, or capital resources, predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and year-over-year variances on a monthly basis for segment operating income or loss when allocating capital and personnel resources to the segments. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating income of the respective business units before share-based compensation (except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders), restructuring and other charges, including the Portfolio Optimization Plan costs, and other costs (which are reported in Corporate & Other), interest expense, and income taxes.

The Company’s three reportable segments are the Flavors & Extracts and Color segments, which are both managed on a product line basis, and the Asia Pacific segment, which is managed on a geographic basis. The Company’s Flavors & Extracts segment produces flavor, extracts, and essential oils products that impart a desired taste, texture, aroma, or other characteristics to a broad range of consumer and other products. The Color segment produces natural and synthetic color systems for foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals; colors, ingredients, and systems for personal care; and technical colors for industrial applications. The Asia Pacific segment is managed on a geographic basis and produces and distributes color, flavor, and essential oils products for the Asia Pacific countries. The Company’s corporate expenses, share-based compensation (except for share-based compensation expense associated with stock grants to certain business unit leaders), restructuring and other charges, including Portfolio Optimization Plan costs as further described in Note 3, Portfolio Optimization Plan, and certain other costs are included in the “Corporate & Other” category.

Operating results by segment for the periods presented are as follows:
