Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
As previously announced, effective at the beginning of fiscal 2012, we implemented a strategic realignment of our organizational structure designed to accelerate our global growth strategy. As part of this realignment, we shifted to the following four reportable operating segments: Americas, EMEA, CAP and Channel Development.
We continue to evolve our operating model to improve local relevancy and efficiency of decision making so that we are able to better optimize market opportunities. To better facilitate decision-making at a local level, effective at the beginning of fiscal 2013, we decentralized certain leadership functions in the areas of retail marketing and category management, global store development and partner resources, to support and align with the respective operating segment presidents. In conjunction with these moves, certain general and administrative and depreciation and amortization expenses associated with these functions, which were previously reported as unallocated corporate expenses within "Other," are now reported within the respective reportable operating segments to align with the regions which they support. In order to conform prior period classifications with the new alignment, the historical consolidated financial statements have been recast as reflected in the segment results below. This change did not have an impact to our historical consolidated results.
