Business Segment Information

We conduct our business and report our information as one operating segment and, therefore, disclose one reportable segment - Automotive and Commercial Vehicles. Our chief operating decision maker is the executive leadership team, which includes certain Vice Presidents, all Senior Vice Presidents and the Chief Executive Officer. This team has the final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. In determining that one operating segment is appropriate, we considered the nature of the business activities and the existence of managers responsible for the operating activities. Customers and suppliers are substantially the same in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry.

These foreign revenues represent 27.0%, 19.5% and 16.7% of total revenues for fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
