Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes sales revenue at a point in time following the transfer of control of the product to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Sales are reported net of allowable discounts and estimated returns. Reserves for cash discounts, trade allowances and sales returns are estimated using historical experience. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, the Company records customer payments of shipping and handling costs as a component of net sales and classifies such costs as a component of cost of sales. The Company excludes tax amounts assessed by governmental authorities that are both (i) imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and (ii) collected from customers from our measurement of transaction prices. Accordingly, such tax amounts are not included as a component of net sales or cost of sales.
The following tables represent a disaggregation of segment revenue from contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
The technical products business is an international producer of fiber-formed, coated and/or saturated specialized media that delivers high performance benefits to customers. Included in this segment are transportation and other filtration media ("Filtration"), tape and abrasives backings products ("Backings"), and digital image transfer, durable label and other specialty substrate products ("Specialty"). Following the disposition of the Brattleboro mill which eliminated a significant portion of the products of the Other business segment, in January 2019 the Company realigned the remaining products manufactured in the Other business segment to be managed as part of the Technical Products business segment. As a result, the Company presented the net sales and operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of this remaining portion of the Other business segment within the Technical Products business segment and recast the comparable 2018 information into Specialty products. Refer to Note 12, "Business Segment Information", for further discussion on the amount recast.
