As the company reported it, from the “Business Segment, Geographic Area, Product Information and Significant Customer Information - Schedule of Net Revenues and Long-Lived Assets by Geographic Regions (Detail)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Regions are the filer's own and are not mapped onto a standard list — one company's “Americas” and another's “United States” are different areas, and making them look comparable would mean making at least one of them wrong.
