17. SEGMENTS
We report our operations under three business segments: Fine Jewelry, Kiosk Jewelry, and All Other. All corresponding items of segment information in prior periods have been presented consistently.
Fine Jewelry consists of five principal brands, Zales Jewelers®, Zales Outlet®, Gordon's Jewelers®, Peoples Jewellers® and Mappins Jewellers®, and is predominantly focused on the value-oriented guest as our core guest target. Each brand specializes in fine jewelry and watches, with merchandise and marketing emphasis focused on diamond products. These five brands have been aggregated into one reportable segment. Kiosk Jewelry operates under the brand names Piercing Pagoda®, Plumb Gold™, and Silver and Gold Connection® through mall-based kiosks and is focused on the opening price point guest. Kiosk Jewelry specializes in gold, silver and non-precious metal products that capitalize on the latest fashion trends. All Other includes our insurance and reinsurance operations, which offer insurance coverage primarily to our private label credit card guests. Management's expectation is that overall economics of each of our major brands within each reportable segment will be similar over time.
We use earnings before unallocated corporate overhead, interest and taxes but include an internal charge for inventory carrying cost to evaluate segment profitability. Unallocated costs before income taxes include corporate employee-related costs, administrative costs, information technology costs, corporate facilities costs and depreciation and amortization.
Income tax information by segment is not included as taxes are calculated at a company-wide level and not allocated to each segment.
