Segment Information

The Company has four reporting segments: Architectural Glass, Architectural Services, Architectural Framing Systems and Large-Scale Optical (LSO). The Architectural Glass segment fabricates glass used in customized window and wall systems comprising the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings. The Architectural Services segment designs, engineers, fabricates and installs the walls of glass, and windows and other curtainwall products making up the outside skin of commercial and institutional buildings for new construction and renovation. The Architectural Framing Systems segment designs, engineers, fabricates and finishes the aluminum frames used in customized aluminum and glass window, curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems comprising the outside skin and entrances of commercial and institutional buildings. The Company has aggregated four operating segments into the Architectural Framing Systems reporting segment based upon their similar products, customers, distribution methods, production processes and economic characteristics. The LSO segment manufactures value-added glass and acrylic products for the custom picture framing market.

The following table presents sales and operating income data for the Company’s four reporting segments, and on a consolidated basis, for the three and nine months ended November 29, 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods a year ago:
