Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment and Geographical Area Information
Segment and Geographical Area Information
Our primary line of business is the production of semi-fabricated specialty aluminum products, such as aluminum plate and sheet and extruded and drawn products, primarily used in Aero/HS products, Automotive Extrusions, GE products and Other products. We operate 11 focused production facilities in the United States and one in Canada. Consistent with the manner in which our chief operating decision maker reviews and evaluates our business, the Fabricated Products business is treated as a single operating segment. At September 30, 2017, approximately 64% of our employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements and approximately 12% of our employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements with expiration dates occurring within one year from September 30, 2017.
In addition to the Fabricated Products segment, we have a business unit, All Other, which provides general and administrative support for our operations. For purposes of segment reporting under GAAP, we treat the Fabricated Products segment as a reportable segment. All Other is not considered a reportable segment.
The accounting policies of the Fabricated Products segment are the same as those described in Note 1. Segment results are evaluated internally by management before any allocation of corporate overhead and without any charge for income taxes, interest expense or other net operating charges.
The following tables provide financial information by reporting segment and business unit for each period or as of each period end, as applicable (in millions of dollars):
