Segment Information |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | 12.Segment Information We operate principally in the contract drilling industry. The contract drilling operations consist mainly of contracting Company-owned drilling equipment primarily to large oil and gas exploration companies. Our contract drilling business includes the following reportable operating segments: U.S. Land, Offshore and International Land. Each reportable operating segment is a strategic business unit that is managed separately. Our primary international areas of operation include Argentina, Bahrain, Colombia, U.A.E. and other South American and Middle Eastern countries. Other includes additional non-reportable operating segments. Revenues included in Other consist of rental income as well as technology services provided for the directional drilling process and MWD survey corrections. Consolidated revenues and expenses reflect the elimination of intercompany transactions. We evaluate segment performance based on income or loss from continuing operations (segment operating income) before income taxes which includes:
| · |  | revenues from external and internal customers
| · |  | direct operating costs
| · |  | depreciation and
| · |  | allocated general and administrative costs
but excludes corporate costs for other depreciation, income from asset sales and other corporate income and expense. General and administrative costs are allocated to the segments based primarily on specific identification and, to the extent that such identification is not practical, on other methods which we believe to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided. Segment operating income for all segments is a non-GAAP financial measure of our performance, as it excludes certain general and administrative expenses, corporate depreciation, income from asset sales and other corporate income and expense. We consider segment operating income to be an important supplemental measure of operating performance by presenting trends in our core businesses. We use this measure to facilitate period-to-period comparisons in operating performance of our reportable segments in the aggregate by eliminating items that affect comparability between periods. We believe that segment operating income is useful to investors because it provides a means to evaluate the operating performance of the segments on an ongoing basis using criteria that are used by our internal decision makers. Additionally, it highlights operating trends and aids analytical comparisons. However, segment operating income has limitations and should not be used as an alternative to operating income or loss, a performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, as it excludes certain costs that may affect our operating performance in future periods. Summarized financial information of our reportable segments for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 is shown in the following tables:
