Segments

The Company has five reportable segments which are defined by geographic region including: North America, Europe, Asia/Pacific, Latin America and Russia, India, Middle East and Africa ("RIMEA"). Following the 2015 Merger described in Note 2, the Company will reevaluate its segment structure in the third quarter of 2015.

Descriptions of the Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

North America—This segment includes our U.S. consumer products business which manufactures, markets and sells ketchup, condiments, sauces, pasta meals, and frozen potatoes, entrees, snacks, and appetizers to the grocery channels and our U.S. foodservice business which manufactures, markets and sells branded and customized products to commercial and non-commercial food outlets and distributors in the United States of America. The North America segment also includes our business in Canada.

Europe—This segment includes the Company’s operations in Europe (excluding Russia) and sells products in all of the Company’s categories.

Asia/Pacific—This segment includes the Company’s operations in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, Papua New Guinea, South Korea, Indonesia, and Singapore. This segment sells products in all of the Company's categories.

Latin America—This segment includes the Company’s operations in Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama that sell products in all of the Company’s categories.

RIMEA—This segment includes the Company’s operations in Russia, India, the Middle East and Africa that sell products in all of the Company’s categories.

The Company’s management evaluates performance based on several factors including net sales and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Inter-segment revenues, items below the operating income line of the consolidated statements of income and certain costs associated with Restructuring and Productivity Initiatives (see Note 5) and 2015 Merger related costs, are not presented by segment, since they are not reflected in the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the Company’s management.
