8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our reportable segments are Installation and Specialty Distribution.

Our Installation segment installs insulation and other building products.  We sell primarily to the residential new construction market, with increasing activity in the commercial/industrial construction market, along with 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 Specialty Distribution segment distributes building and mechanical insulation, insulation accessories and other building product materials for the residential and commercial/industrial end markets. In addition to insulation and accessories, it distributes rain gutters, fireplaces, closet shelving, and roofing materials, among other items. Distributed products are sold from distribution centers in various parts of the United States and Canada, primarily to contractors and dealers (including lumber yards) serving a wide variety of commercial/industrial markets.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker regularly reviews financial information of our segments 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 Specialty Distribution segment to the Installation segment are recorded by the Specialty 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:
