Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

Using the criteria of ASC 280 Segment Reporting, the Company has four operating segments: Lawn and Garden, Material Handling, Distribution, and Engineered Products. Each of these operating segments is also a reportable segment under the ASC 280 criteria.

None of the reportable segments include operating segments that have been aggregated. Some of these segments contain individual business components that have been aggregated on the basis of common management, customers, products, production processes and other economic characteristics.

Income (loss) before income taxes for each business segment is based on net sales less cost of products sold, and the related selling, administrative and general expenses. In computing business segment operating income, general corporate overhead expenses and interest expenses are not included.
