19. SEGMENT REPORTING

We manage our operations on a geographic regional basis, with segments in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The accounting policies as described in the summary of significant accounting policies are applied consistently across our segments. Our North America segment is primarily comprised of operations in the United States and Canada. We present “Operating income” for each of our segments as a measure of segment profit. Our chief operating decision makers use operating income internally as a means of analyzing segment performance and believe that it more clearly represents our segment profit without the impact of income taxes and other non-operating items. The sum of these regional results may not agree to the consolidated results due to rounding. Information concerning our continuing operations in our segments is as follows (in thousands):
