(9) Segment Information
The Company has three business segments. These business segments are components of the Company for which separate information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief executive officer in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing relative performance.
The Company has two reportable business segments that operate under the Natures Sunshine Products brand and are divided based on their geographic operations in the United States and in countries outside the United States. The Companys third reportable business segment operates under the Synergy Worldwide brand, which offers products with formulations that are sufficiently different from those of Natures Sunshine Products and has marketing and Distributor compensation plans that are sufficiently different from those of Natures Sunshine Products to warrant accounting for these operations as a separate business segment. Net sales revenues for each segment have been reduced by intercompany sales as they are not included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief executive officer. The Company evaluates performance based on operating income (loss) by segment before consideration of certain inter-segment transfers and expenses.
Reportable business segment information is as follows:
