SEGMENTS
 
The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the operation of membership shopping warehouse clubs in 13 countries/territories that are located in Latin America and the Caribbean. In addition, the Company operates distribution centers and corporate offices in the United States.  The Company’s reportable segments are based on management’s organization of these locations into operating segments by general geographic location, which are used by management in setting up management lines of responsibility, providing support services, and making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance.  

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company added to its operating segments, the Colombia Operations, and desegregated the Colombia Operations from the Latin America Operations, renaming that segment Central America Operations. The Company has made this change as a result of the information that the Company's chief operating decision maker regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance and the growing level of investment and sales activity in Colombia. Therefore, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company has reported its financial performance based on these new segments and has retrospectively adopted this change for the disclosure of financial information presented by segment. The Company’s operating segments are the United States, Central America, the Caribbean and Colombia.  Additionally, certain inter-company charges are no longer allocated to the segments within this presentation and now appear as reconciling items to reflect the amount eliminated on consolidation of intersegment transactions. This presentation more closely reflects the information reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. Segment amounts are presented after converting to U.S. dollars and consolidating eliminations.  Certain revenues and operating costs included in the United States segment have not been allocated, in order to reflect the information reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker or it is impractical to do so.  

The Company has made reclassifications to the consolidated balance sheet recorded during fiscal year 2015 (see Note 1 - Company Overview and Basis of Presentation) to the consolidated balance sheet for fiscal year 2014 to conform to the presentation in fiscal year 2015. These reclassifications did not impact net income. The following tables summarize the impact of these reclassifications to the amounts reported for each segment (in thousands):
