Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

Note 15 — Segment Information

The Company’s reporting segments, comprised of the satellite services, commercial networks and government systems segment, are primarily distinguished by the type of customer and the related contractual requirements. The Company’s satellite services segment provides retail and wholesale satellite-based broadband internet services for its consumer, enterprise and mobile broadband customers in the United States, as well as managed network services for the satellite communication systems of the Company’s consumer, enterprise and mobile broadband customers worldwide. The Company’s commercial networks segment develops and produces a variety of advanced end-to-end satellite communication systems and ground networking equipment and products, some of which are ultimately used by the Company’s satellite services segment. The Company’s government systems segment develops and produces network-centric IP-based secure government communications systems, products, services and solutions. The more regulated government environment is subject to unique contractual requirements and possesses economic characteristics which differ from the commercial networks and satellite services segments. The Company’s segments are determined consistent with the way management currently organizes and evaluates financial information internally for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

As discussed further in Note 1, included in the government systems segment operating profit for fiscal year 2011 is an $8.5 million forward loss recorded on a government satellite communications program. As discussed in Note 1, also included in the government systems segment operating profit for fiscal year 2011 is an additional $5.0 million in contract related reserves for potential cost adjustments on several multi-year U.S. government cost reimbursable contracts, which resulted in a decrease to revenues and earnings. The Company’s satellite services segment operating profit for fiscal year 2011 reflects a $5.2 million benefit to cost of service revenues related to a WildBlue satellite capacity contract liability acquired and release of future payment liabilities related thereto. Segment revenues and operating profits (losses) for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2012, April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010 were as follows:
