Segment Information
We have
three​​​​​​​
reportable operating
segments:
brokerage, risk management and corporate.
The brokerage segment is primarily comprised of our retail and wholesale insurance brokerage operations. The brokerage segment generates revenues through commissions paid by underwriting enterprises and through fees charged to our clients. Our brokers, agents and administrators act as intermediaries between underwriting enterprises and our clients and we do not assume net underwriting risks.
The risk management segment provides contract claim settlement and administration services for enterprises and public entities that choose to self-insure some or all of their property/casualty coverages and for underwriting enterprises that choose to outsource some or all of their property/casualty claims departments. These operations also provide claims management, loss control consulting and insurance property appraisal services. Revenues are principally generated on a negotiated per-claim or per-service fee basis. Our risk management segment also provides risk management consulting services that are recognized as the services are delivered.
The corporate segment manages our clean energy and other investments. In addition, the corporate segment reports the financial information related to our debt and other corporate costs, external acquisition-related expenses and the impact of foreign currency translation.
Allocations of investment income and certain expenses are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates primarily using revenue, headcount and other information.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, we reviewed our allocation of corporate costs to our business segments. In conjunction with that review, additional costs were allocated to the business segments reflecting management’s current view of the costs necessary to support the business segments. The amounts were less than
4
% of the corporate segment’s loss before income taxes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and were not significant to each of the business segments.
We allocate the provision for income taxes to the brokerage and risk management segments using the local country statutory rates. Reported operating results by segment would change if different methods were applied.
Financial information relating to our segments for the three-month and
six-month
periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in millions):

Disaggregation of Revenue
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with clients by type and geographic location for each of our segments, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
