Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Revenue and pre-tax income by segment
The following tables reflect the results of continuing operations of the company’s segments consistent with the management and measurement system utilized within the company. Performance measurement is based on segment profit. The chief operating decision maker (CODM) considers budget-to-actual results of segment profit, both when evaluating the performance of and allocating resources to each of the segments as well as in developing certain compensation recommendations. The CODM reviews segment revenue, cost and profit information related to each segment, which is included in the tables below, but does not regularly review total assets by segment and therefore, such information is not presented.

(1)Where several segments share leased or owned assets, landlord ownership of these assets is assigned to one segment. Depreciation expense in this table is presented consistently with this ownership view. However, from a segment profit perspective, depreciation expense is allocated to each user segment. Therefore, there is no precise correlation between the depreciation expense presented above and segment profit.
