11. Segment and Geographic Information

Segment Information

During 2013, we sold our non-branded entertainment media distribution operation (previously part of our business segment) and discontinued our DRTV operations (previously part of our direct to consumer segment). Accordingly, we have restated the below segment information to present these two businesses as discontinued operations, separate from our continuing segments.

Real Goods Solar was deconsolidated on December 31, 2011, and, thus, the segment information below reports RSOL as an equity method investment for 2012 and as a consolidated subsidiary for 2011. RSOL became a cost method investment during 2013.

We now manage our business and aggregate our operational and financial information in accordance with two reportable segments. The direct to consumer segment contains e-commerce, catalog, retail store and digital subscription channels; and the business segment comprises retailer, distribution, and corporate account channels.

Although we are able to track revenue by sales channel, the management, allocation of resources and analysis and reporting of expenses is presented on a combined basis, at the reportable segment level. Contribution margin is defined as net revenue less cost of goods sold and total operating expenses.

Financial information for our segments was as follows:
