14. Segment Information

 

We conduct our business activities in seven reporting segments within two business groups, Small & Medium Business Solutions and Enterprise Business Solutions. As a result of certain organizational changes effective January 1, 2011, we have reclassified prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. The principal products and services of each of our reporting segments are as follows:

 

Small & Medium Business Solutions:

North America Mailing: Includes the U.S. and Canadian revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of our mail finishing, mail creation, shipping equipment and software; supplies; support and other professional services; and payment solutions.

 

International Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of our mail finishing, mail creation, shipping equipment and software; supplies; support and other professional services; and payment solutions outside North America.

 

Enterprise Business Solutions:

Production Mail: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale, support and other professional services of our high-speed, production mail systems, sorting and production print equipment.

 

Software: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale and support services of non-equipment-based mailing, customer relationship and communication and location intelligence software.

 

Management Services: Includes worldwide revenue and related expenses from facilities management services; secure mail services; reprographic, document management services; and litigation support and eDiscovery services.

 

Mail Services: Includes worldwide revenue and related expenses from presort mail services and cross-border mail services.

 

Marketing Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from direct marketing services for targeted customers.

 

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), a non-GAAP measure, is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses and restructuring charges, which are generally managed across the entire company on a consolidated basis, and asset impairments.  EBIT is useful to management in demonstrating the operational profitability of the segments excluding centrally managed costs, and is also used for purposes of measuring the performance of our management team.  Segment EBIT; however, may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations.

 

 

Revenue and EBIT by business segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:
