In the reportable segment financial information, Segment profit represents each reportable segment’s Income before income taxes. Due to the nature of the Company’s integrated manufacturing operations and centralized administrative and information technology support, a substantial amount of allocations are made to determine segment financial information. Domestic intersegment transfers are primarily accounted for at the approximate fully absorbed manufactured cost, based on normal capacity volumes, plus customary distribution costs for paint products. Non-paint domestic and all international intersegment transfers are primarily accounted for at values comparable to normal unaffiliated customer sales. All intersegment transfers are eliminated within the Administrative function. In 2023, absorbed manufactured cost standards for domestic intersegment transfers were established inclusive of forecasted cost reductions from planned initiatives for which unfavorable deviations were recognized within the Consumer Brands Group. The manufactured cost standards established at the beginning of 2024 did not include forecasted cost reductions.
Net sales of all consolidated foreign subsidiaries were $1.143 billion and $1.150 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net external sales of all consolidated foreign subsidiaries were $2.246 billion and $2.237 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Long-lived assets of these subsidiaries totaled $3.456 billion and $3.348 billion at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Domestic operations accounted for the remaining Net sales and long-lived assets. No single geographic area outside the United States was significant relative to consolidated Net sales, Income before income taxes or consolidated long-lived assets. Export sales and sales to any individual customer were each less than 10% of consolidated Net sales in 2024 and 2023.
