Segment Information | Segment Information The Company is organized into three reportable segments, which are defined by the regions where the Company’s products are manufactured, marketed and distributed to the Company’s customers. The three regional segments are the North America segment, comprising primarily the United States and Canada; the Europe segment, comprising continental Europe and the United Kingdom; and the Asia/Pacific segment, comprising the Company’s operations in China, Hong Kong, the South Pacific and the Middle East. The Company's China and Hong Kong operations are manufacturing and administrative support locations, respectively. These three reportable segments are similar in several ways, including the types of materials used in production, production processes, distribution channels and product applications. The Company’s measure of profit or loss for its reportable segments is income (loss) from operations. The following tables illustrate certain measurements used by management to assess the performance of its reportable segments as of or for the following periods: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (in thousands) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Net Sales North America $ 286,807 $ 259,073 $ 535,857 $ 480,504 Europe 37,379 43,648 70,111 79,428 Asia/Pacific 1,890 2,132 3,776 4,165 Total $ 326,076 $ 304,853 $ 609,744 $ 564,097 Sales to Other Segments* North America $ 671 $ 466 $ 1,311 $ 807 Europe 1,308 631 2,562 1,089 Asia/Pacific 5,664 7,276 10,477 13,672 Total $ 7,643 $ 8,373 $ 14,350 $ 15,568 Income (Loss) from Operations North America $ 72,196 $ 49,838 $ 125,757 $ 82,652 Europe 2,696 4,643 1,026 4,259 Asia/Pacific (75 ) 186 (679 ) (355 ) Administrative and all other (2,605 ) (1,014 ) (4,542 ) (2,880 ) Total $ 72,212 $ 53,653 $ 121,562 $ 83,676 * Sales to other segments are eliminated in consolidation.
