Historically, A. Schulman, Inc. (the “Company”) disclosed the following three reportable segments: Europe, Middle East and Africa; the Americas; and Asia Pacific. Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company now discloses the following four reportable segments: Europe, Middle East and Africa; United States and Canada; Latin America; and Asia Pacific. This change corresponds with the January 1, 2015 appointment of the Company’s new President and CEO who assumed the role of Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) at that time, and how the CODM makes decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources. There has been no change in the Company’s total consolidated financial condition or results of operations previously reported as a result of the change in segment structure.
Unaudited segment information, which has been revised from amounts previously reported to reflect the Company’s new segment reporting structure for all four quarters of fiscal 2014 and the corresponding periods of fiscal 2013, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
