Reporting Segments

Reporting Segments

During December 2015, the Company adopted a plan to deliver improved performance and efficiencies through increased strategic focus and operational realignment. As a result of this realignment, certain historical segment financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current period segment presentation that became effective during the first quarter of 2016. This reclassification did not impact any previously reported consolidated revenues, gross profit or results of operations.

The Company's reporting segments are as follows:

• Enterprise Talent - Enterprise Talent provides staff augmentation, placement and other staffing-related services to support its clients’ access to engineering and technology personnel on a temporary or permanent basis. Enterprise Talent focuses on delivering its services to medium and larger sized enterprises that have ongoing needs for skilled and technical labor. The duration of individual client engagements can range from several months to multiple years based on a client’s project, seasonal or business cycle needs. In addition, Enterprise Talent offers enterprise clients managed staffing program services, vendor management solutions, certification management solutions, and recruitment process outsourcing solutions. Enterprise Talent currently operates in North America under the CDI^® brand name and in the United Kingdom under the AndersElite^® brand name.

• Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions - Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions provides clients with specialized technology talent as well as solutions through a flexible delivery model that spans staff augmentation and placement services, project execution and management services, and outsourced managed services. Specialty Talent, currently comprised entirely of EdgeRock, provides staff augmentation services focused on highly specialized information technology skillsets, including enterprise resource planning, business intelligence, analytics, infrastructure and application management and development. Technology Solutions provides a range of information technology professional services in a consult, integrate and operate model. These services include IT strategy and consulting, assessments, execution of IT infrastructure and IT engineering solutions, business application solutions, digital marketing services, service management, quality assurance and testing, and program management.

• Engineering Solutions - Engineering Solutions provides engineering design, as well as complete physical asset and product delivery solutions for its clients. Engineering design principally involves the production of construction and/or technical documentation and specifications performed at a CDI facility or at a client's facility under the supervision of CDI personnel. Complete physical asset and product delivery solutions involve services that manage the integration of all supply chain contributors to a new or upgraded industrial production or infrastructure asset, naval asset or in support of aerospace and industrial original equipment manufacturers. Engineering Solutions is organized around the following business verticals: Energy, Chemicals and Infrastructure (EC&I), Aerospace and Industrial Equipment (AIE) and Government Services.

◦ EC&I serves producers and operators of energy, chemicals, industrial, education and civil infrastructures with a full range of engineering solutions. Specific services including up-front planning, engineering design, industrial and commercial architecture, design/build, transportation and civil engineering, site services, procurement, construction management, start up and commissioning.

◦ AIE serves commercial and defense aviation, as well as industrial original equipment manufacturers, with design and manufacturing engineering services, including mechanical and electrical systems design, drafting, engineering analysis, software design and verification, validation and testing, and tooling design and development.

◦ Government Services primarily serves the Department of Defense and the U.S. Navy, in particular, with a variety of design and engineering services, including naval architecture, ship alteration, systems modification and installation, technical documentation and training, logistics management, marine manufacturing and aviation engineering.

Within each of the verticals, Engineering Solutions provides these solutions through a services delivery model consisting of skill-based centers of excellence, together with regional offices to serve more localized project or client needs.

• Management Recruiters International (MRI) - MRI is a global franchisor that does business as MRINetwork^® and provides the use of its trademarks, business systems and training and support services to its franchisees who engage in the search and recruitment of executive, technical, professional and managerial personnel for employment by their clients. The MRI franchisees provide permanent placement services primarily under the brand names Management Recruiters^®, Sales Consultants^® and OfficeMates 5^®. MRI also provides training and support, implementation and back-office services to enable franchisees to pursue contract staffing opportunities.

For purposes of performance measurement, the Company charges certain expenses directly attributable to the reporting segments and allocates certain other expenses and support costs. Support costs consist principally of employee benefits administration, accounting support, IT services and shared service center costs. Operating and administrative expenses that are not directly attributable to the reporting segments are classified as corporate. Identifiable assets of the reporting segments exclude corporate assets. Corporate assets consist principally of all cash and cash equivalents, all current and deferred income tax assets, certain prepaid expenses, other current assets, certain property and equipment and certain other non-current assets.
