Segment Reporting |
Segment Reporting | (2) Segment Reporting Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosures related to components of a company for which separate financial information is available to, and regularly evaluated by, the Company’s chief operating decision maker when deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s three operating segments consist of the operations of SkyWest Airlines, ExpressJet and SkyWest Leasing activities. Corporate overhead expense incurred by the Company is allocated to the operating expenses of SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet. During the fourth quarter of 2015, due to the increase in acquired E175 aircraft and the related aircraft debt financing, the Company’s chief operating decision maker started to analyze the flight operations of the Company’s E175 aircraft separately from the acquisition, ownership and financing costs and related revenue. Because of this change, the “SkyWest Leasing” segment includes revenue attributed to the Company’s E175 ownership cost earned under the applicable fixed-fee flying cont r act s, and the depreciation and interest expense of the Company’s E175 aircraft. The “SkyWest Leasing” segment’s total assets and capital expenditures include the acquired E175 aircraft. The “SkyWest Leasing” segment additionally includes the activity of two CRJ200 aircraft leased to a third party. As a result of the change in segmentation, prior periods have been recast to conform to the current presentation. The Company reclassified $15.0 million of operating revenue, $8.5 million of depreciation expense, $5.0 million of interest expense, $1.6 million of segment profit, $527.0 million of total assets and $535.5 million of capital expenditures (including non-cash) from the “SkyWest Airlines” segment to the “SkyWest Leasing” segment for the year ended December 31, 2014 to reflect the respective E175 activity in the “SkyWest Leasing” segment for 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company resolved a contract matter with one of its major partners that resulted in a $7.9 million reduction to revenue. This reduction is reflected in the SkyWest Leasing segment as this amount related to an aircraft financing matter for the year ended December 31, 2015. The following represents the Company’s segment data for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands).
