Segment Reporting SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has two reportable segments, the OEM Segment and the Aftermarket Segment. Intersegment sales are insignificant.

The OEM Segment, which accounted for 88 percent, 91 percent, and 92 percent of consolidated net sales for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, manufactures and distributes a broad array of engineered components for the leading OEMs in the recreation and industrial product markets, consisting of RVs and adjacent industries, including buses; trailers used to haul boats, livestock, equipment, and other cargo; trucks; boats; trains; manufactured homes; and modular housing. Approximately 61 percent, 64 percent, and 71 percent of the Company’s OEM Segment net sales in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, were of components for travel trailer and fifth-wheel RVs.

The Aftermarket Segment, which accounted for 12 percent, 9 percent, and 8 percent of consolidated net sales for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, supplies engineered components to the related aftermarket channels of the RV and adjacent industries, primarily to retail dealers, wholesale distributors, and service centers. The Aftermarket Segment also includes the sale of replacement glass and awnings to fulfill insurance claims, biminis, covers, buoys, and fenders to the marine industry, and towing products and truck accessories.

Decisions concerning the allocation of the Company’s resources are made by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), with oversight by the Board of Directors. The CODM evaluates the performance of each segment based upon segment operating profit or loss, generally defined as income or loss before interest and income taxes. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources are also based on each segment’s utilization of assets. Management of debt is a corporate function. The accounting policies of the OEM and Aftermarket Segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by segment and geography based on the billing address of the Company’s customers for the years ended December 31:
