As the company reported it, from the “Note 5 - Business Segments - Summary of Financial Information by Reporting Segment (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Segments are the filer's own reporting structure, which is a decision about how it runs itself rather than a standard taxonomy: two companies in the same industry routinely divide themselves along different lines, so these are worth reading down a single company rather than across two. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
