Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

13. Segment Information

We design, develop, manufacture and market orthopaedic reconstructive implants, dental implants, spinal implants, trauma products and related surgical products which include surgical supplies and instruments designed to aid in surgical procedures and post-operation rehabilitation. We also provide other healthcare-related services which generate revenues that are less than 1 percent of our total net sales. We manage operations through three major geographic segments — the Americas, which is comprised principally of the U.S. and includes other North, Central and South American markets; Europe, which is comprised principally of Europe and includes the Middle East and African markets; and Asia Pacific, which is comprised primarily of Japan and includes other Asian and Pacific markets. This structure is the basis for our reportable segment information discussed below. Management evaluates reportable segment performance based upon segment operating profit exclusive of operating expenses pertaining to share-based payment expense, inventory step-up, “Certain claims,” goodwill impairment, “Special items” and global operations and corporate functions. Global operations and corporate functions include research, development engineering, medical education, brand management, corporate legal, finance, and human resource functions, U.S. and Puerto Rico-based manufacturing operations and logistics and intangible amortization resulting from business combination accounting. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated from segment operating profit.
