Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company’s segment structure reflects how management currently makes financial decisions and allocates resources.

NRG’s chief operating decision maker, its chief executive officer, evaluates the performance of its segments based on operational measures including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and allocation of capital, as well as net income/(loss).
