The Company is organized into seven geographical operating segments that are based on management responsibilities: U.S. Operations (including the corporate office), Europe, Mexico, Asia, Canada, Latin America and Other Foreign. Gross profit and operating (loss) income are the measures used by the chief operating decision maker, identified as our President and Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate segment performance and identify opportunities when allocating resources. The accounting principles applied at the reportable segment level in determining the segment measure of profit or loss are the same as those applied at the consolidated financial statement level. Sales and transfers between operating segments are accounted for at market-based transaction prices and are eliminated in consolidation. Our U.S. operations include a facility in Alabama (primarily the distribution to customers of the bulk of our products and the light manufacturing of our chemical, wovens, reflective, and fire products) and facilities in Arizona, California, Colorado and Iowa (fire services). The Company also maintains one manufacturing facility in China (primarily disposable and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Mexico (primarily disposable, reflective, fire and chemical suit production), a manufacturing facility in Vietnam (primarily disposable production), a manufacturing facility in Argentina (primarily wovens production), a manufacturing facility in Romania (boots), a manufacturing facility in New Zealand (helmets) and two small manufacturing facilities in India (primarily disposable and wovens production). Our China and Vietnam facilities produce a significant portion of the Company’s products. We evaluate the performance of these entities based on gross profit, which is defined as net sales less cost of goods sold, and operating income (loss), which is defined as income before income taxes, interest expense and other income and expenses. We have sales forces in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Europe, Latin America, India, Russia, Kazakhstan, Australia, New Zealand and China, which sell and distribute products shipped from the U.S., Mexico, China, Vietnam or India.
