Note 22 ― Segment Information
The financial results of the Company's businesses are reported in the following segments:
Global Health Care aggregates the Commercial and Government operating segments due to their similar economic characteristics, products and services and regulatory environment:
Global Supplemental Benefits includes supplemental health, life and accident insurance products offered in selected international markets and in the U.S.
Group Disability and Life provides group long-term and short-term disability, group life, accident and specialty insurance products and related services.
Run-off Reinsurance is predominantly comprised of GMDB and GMIB business that was ceded to Berkshire on February 4, 2013.
The Company also reports results in two other categories.
Other Operations consist of:
Corporate reflects amounts not allocated to other segments, such as net interest expense (defined as interest on corporate debt less net investment income on investments not supporting segment operations), interest on uncertain tax positions, certain litigation matters, intersegment eliminations, compensation cost for stock options, expense associated with its frozen pension plans, certain corporate project and overhead costs.
The Company measures the financial results of its segments using “segment earnings (loss)”, defined as shareholders' income (loss) from continuing operations before after-tax realized investment results. The Company determines segment earnings (loss) consistent with accounting policies used in preparing the consolidated financial statements, except that amounts included in Corporate are not allocated to segments. The Company allocates certain other operating expenses, such as systems and other key corporate overhead expenses, on systematic bases. Income taxes are generally computed as if each segment were filing a separate income tax return. The Company does not report total assets by segment as this is not a metric used to allocate resources or evaluate segment performance.
