12. Segment and Geographic Information The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on operating income before divestiture &amp; other related costs, share-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, interest expense, and income taxes (segment operating income). Total revenue and segment operating income by business segment and geographic region include both sales to customers, as reported in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Earnings, and intersegment sales, which are accounted for at prices that approximate market prices and are eliminated in consolidation. Assets by business segment and geographic region are those assets used in the Companys operations in each segment and geographic region. Segment assets reflect the allocation of goodwill to each segment. Corporate &amp; Other assets consist primarily of fixed assets and investments. Segment Information The Company determines its operating segments based on information utilized by its chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment performance is evaluated on operating income of the respective business units before divestiture &amp; other related costs, share-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, which are reported in Corporate &amp; Other. The Companys three reportable segments are Flavors &amp; Fragrances and Color segments, which are both managed on a product line basis, and the Asia Pacific segment, which is managed on a geographic basis.
