Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

The following is a description of our four reporting segments:

• Our Truck segment manufactures and distributes Class 4 through 8 trucks and buses under the International and IC Bus ("IC") brands, and produces engines under our proprietary brand name. This segment sells its products in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico markets, as well as through our export truck business.

• Our Parts segment provides customers with proprietary products needed to support the International commercial truck, IC Bus, proprietary engine lines, and export parts business, as well as our other product lines. Our Parts segment also provides a wide selection of other standard truck, trailer, and engine aftermarket parts. Also included in the Parts segment are the operating results of BDP, which manages the sourcing, merchandising, and distribution of certain service parts we sell to Ford in North America.

• Our Global Operations segment primarily consists of Brazil engine operations which produce diesel engines under contract manufacturing arrangements, as well as under the MWM brand, for sale to OEMs in South America. Global Operations also includes the sale of engine aftermarket parts, primarily in South America.

• Our Financial Services segment provides retail, wholesale, and lease financing of products sold by the Truck and Parts segments and their dealers within the U.S. and Mexico, as well as financing for wholesale accounts and selected retail accounts receivable. This segment also facilitates financing relationships in the U.S. and other countries to support our Manufacturing Operations.

Corporate contains those items that are not included in our four segments.

Segment Profit (Loss)

We define segment profit (loss) as net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to NIC, excluding income tax benefit (expense). Selected financial information from our Consolidated Statements of Operations and our Consolidated Balance Sheets is as follows:

• The costs of profit sharing and annual incentive compensation for the Manufacturing operations are included in corporate expenses.

• Interest expense and interest income for the Manufacturing operations are reported in corporate expenses.

• The Financial Services segment finances certain sales to our dealers in North America, which include an interest-free period that varies in length that is subsidized by our Truck and Parts segments. Additionally, the Financial Services segment reports intersegment revenues from secured and unsecured loans to the Manufacturing operations. Certain retail sales financed by the Financial Services segment, primarily NFC, require the Manufacturing operations, primarily the Truck segment, to share a portion of any credit losses.

• We allocate "access fees" to the Parts segment from the Truck segment for certain engineering and product development costs, depreciation expense, and SG&A expenses incurred by the Truck segment based on the relative percentage of certain sales, as adjusted for cyclicality.

• Other than the items discussed above, the selected financial information presented below is presented in accordance with our policies described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The following tables present selected financial information for our reporting segments:
