| Information regarding our operations in different segments | 2. Information regarding our operations in different segments Prior to the decision to divest our Fresh Cut business (formerly RFG), the Company’s Prepared reporting segment included the Fresh Cut business unit and our guacamole business. As a result of the planned divestiture, the Fresh Cut business unit is no longer included in our Prepared business segment, and is not included in the tables below. All segment information included herein reflects these changes. See Note 11 for further information. We report our operations in two different business segments: Grown and Prepared. The Grown segment consists of fresh avocados, tomatoes and papayas. The Prepared segment comprises all our guacamole products sold at retail and food service as well as avocado pulp sold to foodservice. These two business segments are presented based on how information is used by our Chief Executive Officer to measure performance and allocate resources. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as well as other non-operating income/expense items, are evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer in the aggregate. We do not allocate assets, or specifically identify them, to our operating segments. The sales data in the following tables is presented in thousands:
For the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, intercompany sales and cost of sales of $0.4 million and $0.3 million between Grown products and Prepared products were eliminated, respectively. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately $10.9 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023. Our foreign operations in Mexico are subject to exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency transaction costs. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries in Mexico is the United States dollar (U.S. dollar). As a result, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets, liabilities and equity are translated at historical rates. Sales and expenses are translated using a weighted-average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses resulting from those remeasurements and foreign currency transactions are recognized within cost of sales. We recognized foreign currency remeasurement gains in the current quarter. These gains were due primarily to certain long-term net peso receivables. Foreign currency remeasurement gains, net of losses, for the three months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023 were $1.7 million and $1.3 million respectively. The net carrying value of long-lived assets attributed to geographic areas as of January 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, are as follows (in thousands):
