Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment and Related Information | Segment and Related Information We have four reportable segments: S&P Ratings, S&P Global Market Intelligence, S&P DJ Indices and C&C. Our Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision-maker and evaluates performance of our segments and allocates resources based primarily on operating profit. Segment operating profit does not include unallocated expense or interest expense as these are costs that do not affect the operating results of our segments. A summary of operating results by segment for the three months ended March 31 is as follows:
