Segments Information |
2 1. | Segments Information
The Company operates in two reportable segments: Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure. The Federal Solutions segment provides advanced technical solutions to the U.S. government, delivering timely, cost-effective hardware, software and services for mission-critical projects. The segment provides advanced technologies, supporting national security missions in cybersecurity, missile defense, and military facility modernization, logistics support, hazardous material remediation and engineering services. The Critical Infrastructure segment provides integrated engineering and management services for complex physical and digital infrastructure around the globe. The Critical Infrastructure segment is a technology innovator focused on next generation digital systems and complex structures. Industry leading capabilities in engineering and project management allow the Company to deliver significant value to customers by employing cutting-edge technologies, improving timelines and reducing costs. The Company defines its reportable segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), currently its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of each segment and manages the operations of the Company for purposes of allocating resources among the segments. The CODM evaluates segment operating performance using segment Revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation. The following table summarizes business segment information for the periods presented (in thousands):
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |

Total revenues |  | $ | 3,918,946 |  |  | $ | 3,954,812 |  |  | $ | 3,560,508 |
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation as Adjusted EBITDA excluding Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Parsons Corporation, adjusted to include net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and to exclude interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other items that are not considered in the evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These other items include net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, asset impairment charges, income and expense recognized on litigation matters, expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions and other non-recurring transaction costs and expenses related to our prior restructuring.

Excluding the claim set tlement, revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 for the Critical Infrastructure segment was $2.0 billion and for the Mobility Solutions revenue business line revenue was $1.5 billion. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company made changes to its business lines as described below. The prior year information in the table above has been reclassified to conform to the business line changes. Federal Solutions Business Line Changes As a result of the acquisitions of Polaris Alpha, OGSystems and QRC, we realigned the five business lines within our Federal Solutions segment into four business lines. We consolidated all space and geospatial programs from the former Geospatial Solutions, Defense and Cyber & Intelligence markets into a new Space & Geospatial Solutions business line to increase focus on the critical, evolving space market. This new business line better aligns capabilities and customers to drive growth and performance execution through improved agile, end-to-end solutions and dedicated customer focus. Further, we re-named our Defense business line to Missile Defense & C5ISR. We moved our Missions Solutions business line into our Missile Defense & C5ISR, Engineered Systems and Cyber & Intelligence business lines, for better customer and capability alignment. These changes were the next logical step in our acquisition integration process, to optimize performance delivery and growth.
