Business Segment Information
Business Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by a company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or a decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing financial performance. As of March 31, 2020, the Company's CODM was the Company's CEO. The Company's operating and reportable segments are identified by products and services provided.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has two reportable segments: (1) Refined Coal ("RC"); and (2) Power Generation and Industrials ("PGI").
The business segment measurements provided to and evaluated by the CODM are computed in accordance with the principles listed below:
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the 2019 Form 10-K.
Segment revenues include equity method earnings and losses from the Company's equity method investments.
Segment operating income (loss) includes segment revenues and allocation of certain "Corporate general and administrative expenses," which include Payroll and benefits, Legal and professional fees and General and administrative.
RC segment operating income includes interest expense directly attributable to the RC segment.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, substantially all of the Company's material assets are located in the U.S. and substantially all of significant customers are U.S. companies. The following table presents the Company's operating segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:
