Segment Information
Note 14 Segment Information
We manage our business on the basis of one reportable segment, as a manufacturer of semiconductors in different geographic areas, including the United States, Europe and Asia. We derive revenue from sales of our high-performance analog/mixed-signal ICs and power and high-reliability individual component semiconductors. These products include individual components as well as IC solutions that enhance customer designs by improving performance, reliability and battery optimization, reducing size or protecting circuits. The principal markets we serve include Aerospace & Defense, Communications, Data Center, and Industrial. We evaluate sales by end-market based on our understanding of end market uses of our products. 
Net sales based on a customer's ship-to location and by estimated end market are as follows (amounts in millions):

As a percentage of consolidated net sales, customers with a ship-to location in Hong Kong totaled 18% in 2016 and 12% in 2015. There were no countries outside the United States exceeding 10% in 2014. The geographic location of distributors and third-party manufacturing service providers may be different from the geographic location of the ultimate end users. We believe a substantial portion of the products billed to these customers are ultimately shipped to end markets in the United States and Europe.
