8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our reportable segments are Installation (TruTeam) and Distribution (Service Partners).

Our Installation segment installs insulation and other building products.  We sell primarily to the residential new construction market, with increasing activity in both the commercial construction industry and repair/remodel of residential housing.  In addition to insulation, we install other building products including glass and windows, rain gutters, afterpaint products, fireproofing, garage doors, and fireplaces.  

Our Distribution segment sells and distributes insulation and other building products including rain gutters, fireplaces, closet shelving, and roofing materials.  Distributed products are sold primarily to contractors and dealers (including lumber yards) from distribution centers in various parts of the United States.

Our segments are based on our operating units, for which financial information is regularly evaluated by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in determining resource allocation and assessing performance.  The key performance metric we use to evaluate our businesses is segment operating profit.  Operating profit for the individual segments includes corporate costs which are allocated to the segments based on various metrics including sales and headcount.  

Intercompany sales from the Distribution segment to the Installation segment are recorded by the Distribution segment with a profit margin and by our Installation segment at cost.

Key information by segment is as follows, for the years ended December 31, in thousands:
