Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments and International Operations

Business Segments and International Operations

Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.

The changes made to our organization during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, as discussed in Note 13, did not change our determination of the three reportable segments as our organizational structure maintains the focus of the three business segments.

We do not manage our assets or capital expenditures by segment or assign other income (expense) and income taxes to segments. We manage and report such items on a consolidated company basis.

The following table provides revenue and contribution margin from our reportable segments and reconciles to the consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes:
