Segment and Geographic Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2015, we operated in one segment, high-technology manufacturing equipment, which was comprised of products that were classified in three groups: interconnect and micromachining, semiconductor and component. As a result of changes in our go-to-market strategies, common customer characteristics, and information utilized to manage our business, we realigned our products into two segments. Since the fourth quarter 2015 ESI has operated in two segments, Component Processing and Micromachining.
