STAPLES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
non-recurring items and the impact of changes in accounting principles ("business unit income"). Intersegment sales and transfers
are recorded at Staples' cost; therefore, there is no intercompany profit or loss recognized on these transactions. The accounting
policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note A -
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Staples' North American Stores & Online and North American Commercial segments are managed separately because
the way they sell and market products is different and the classes of customers they service are different. The International Operations
are considered a separate reportable segment because of the significant differences in the operating environment from the North
American operations.
