Business Segments
We operate our business in two distinct segments: branded and basics. Although the two segments are similar in their production processes and regulatory environments, they are distinct in their economic characteristics, products and distribution methods.
The branded segment is comprised of our business units focused on specialized apparel garments and headwear to meet consumer preferences and fashion trends, and includes Soffe, Junkfood, To The Game and Art Gun. These branded embellished and unembellished products are sold through specialty and boutique shops, upscale and traditional department stores, mid-tier retailers, sporting goods stores, college bookstores and the U.S. military. Products in this segment are marketed under our lifestyle brands of Soffe®, Intensity Athletics®, Junk Food®, The Game®, American Threads by The Game, and Salt Life®, as well as other labels.
The basics segment is comprised of our business units primarily focused on garment styles that are characterized by low fashion risk, and includes our Delta Activewear undecorated catalog tees and private label products. We market, distribute and manufacture for sale unembellished knit apparel under the main brands of Delta Pro Weight® and Delta Magnum Weight® for sale to a diversified audience ranging from large licensed screen printers to small independent businesses. We also manufacture private label products for major branded sportswear companies, retailers, corporate industry programs, and sports licensed apparel marketers. Typically these products are sold with value-added services such as hangtags, ticketing, hangers, and embellishment so that they are fully ready for retail.
Robert W. Humphreys, our chief operating decision maker, and management evaluate performance and allocate resources based on profit or loss from operations before interest, income taxes and special charges (“segment operating earnings (loss)”). Our segment operating earnings (loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Intercompany transfers between operating segments are transacted at cost and have been eliminated within the segment amounts shown in the following table.
Information about our operations as of and for the three months ended September 28, 2013, and September 29, 2012, by operating segment, is as follows (in thousands):
On July 10, 2013, we announced plans to consolidate our domestic screen print operations as part of our continued focus on more efficient manufacturing and distribution strategies. The consolidation resulted in the closing of Soffe’s decoration facility located in Wendell, North Carolina and consolidation of those operations into Soffe's Fayetteville, North Carolina facility. We incurred expenses totaling $1.5 million associated with the closing. Of this, $0.4 million was expensed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 in the other expense line item of the financial statements. The remaining $1.1 million was expensed during the quarter ended September 28, 2013, of which $0.9 million and $0.2 million were included in the cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative line items, respectively, of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. These expenses are included in the Branded segment.
The following reconciles the segment operating earnings to the Company's consolidated earnings before income taxes (in thousands):
