SEGMENT REPORTING

The reportable segments are the DSW segment, which includes DSW stores and dsw.com, and the ABG segment. The Company has identified such segments based on internal management reporting and responsibilities and measures segment profit as gross profit, which is defined as net sales less cost of sales. All operations are located in the United States and its territories. The goodwill balance of $25.9 million as of May 2, 2015, January 31, 2015 and May 3, 2014 is recorded in the DSW segment. In order to reconcile to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company includes Other, which consists of assets, liabilities and expenses of the former RVI (see Note 15) and the investment in Town Shoes including cash (see Note 2).
