Segment reporting, CODM, profit (loss) measure, how used, description	Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on Net Income that also is reported on the income statement as our consolidated Net Income. The CODM uses Net Income to evaluate performance in deciding whether to reinvest profits, facilitate acquisitions or return funds to shareholders through dividends or share repurchases. Net Income is used to monitor budget versus actual results and in competitive analysis by benchmarking to our peers and competitors. The benchmarking analysis and the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing our performance and in establishing management’s compensation.
