| FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT The Company’s three business segments, Europe, Latin America and North America, are organized by geography. These segments are consistent with the internal structure used to manage these businesses. Each of our segments derive their revenue from the manufacture and sale of paper and pulp products.
Business segment operating profits are used by the Company’s management to measure the earnings performance of its businesses. Management believes that business segment operating profit provides investors and analysts useful insights into our operating performance. Business Segment Operating Profit (Loss) (non-GAAP) is net income (loss) (GAAP) plus the sum of income taxes, net interest expense, the impact of foreign exchange on an intercompany note receivable from our Brazilian subsidiary, and, when applicable for the periods reported, net special items.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The chief operating decision maker uses business segment operating profit to allocate resources (primarily capital spending) for each segment predominantly during the annual strategic planning, budgeting and forecasting processes. The chief operating decision maker also considers actual performance variances in business segment operating profits on a monthly basis to assess the performance of the segments.
Sales by business segment are determined using a management approach and include inter-segment sales (which are eliminated in consolidation).
