Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT REPORTING SEGMENT REPORTING
Our senior management evaluates, oversees and manages the financial performance of our operations through three field groups, referred to as Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3. Group 1 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the western United States. Group 2 is our recycling and solid waste business operating primarily in geographic areas located in the southeastern and mid-western United States, the eastern seaboard of the United States, and Canada. Group 3 is our environmental solutions business operating primarily in geographic areas located across the United States and Canada. These groups are presented below as our reportable segments, which each provide integrated environmental services, including but not limited to collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal.
Adjusted EBITDA is the single financial measure our chief operating decision maker (CODM) uses to evaluate operating segment profitability and determine resource allocations. Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 follows:

Corporate functions include legal, tax, treasury, information technology, risk management, human resources, closed landfills, and other administrative functions. National Accounts revenue included in Corporate entities and other represents the portion of revenue generated from nationwide and regional contracts in markets outside our operating areas where the associated material handling is subcontracted to local operators. Revenue and overhead costs of Corporate entities and other are either specifically assigned or allocated on a rational and consistent basis among our reportable segments to calculate Adjusted EBITDA.
As presented in the tables below, Adjusted EBITDA reflects certain adjustments for US Ecology, Inc., acquisition, integration and deal costs, (income) losses from unconsolidated equity method investments, losses on extinguishment of debt, adjustments to withdrawal liabilities for a multiemployer pension fund and restructuring expenses. This presentation is consistent with how our CODM reviews results of operations to make resource allocation decisions.
Intercompany revenue reflects transactions within and between segments that generally are made on a basis intended to reflect the market value of such services. Capital expenditures for Corporate entities and other primarily include vehicle inventory acquired but not yet assigned to operating locations and facilities.

A reconciliation of the Company's single measure of segment profitability (segment Adjusted EBITDA) to Income before income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Net Income is as follows:
