Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

15.Segment Information

The Company has two reportable business segments.  The Performance Improvement Solutions business segment provides simulation, training and engineering products and services delivered across the breadth of industries we serve.  Solutions include simulation for both training and engineering applications.  Example training applications include turnkey and custom training services, while engineering services include plant design verification and validation. We provide these services across all our market segments.  Contracts typically range from ten months to three years.

The Staff Augmentation services segment provides specialized workforce solutions primarily to the U.S. nuclear industry, working at our clients' facilities.  This business is managed through our Hyperspring, LLC subsidiary.  The business model, management focus, margins and other factors clearly separate this business line from the rest of the GSE product and service portfolio.  Hyperspring has been providing these services since 2005.

The following table sets forth the revenue and operating results attributable to each reportable segment and includes a reconciliation of segment contract revenue to consolidated revenue and operating results to consolidated loss before income taxes:
