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 reporting segments consisted of the operations of SkyWest Airlines, ExpressJet and SkyWest Leasing activities. Corporate overhead expenses incurred by the Company were allocated to the operating expenses of SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet. The Company sold ExpressJet in January 2019. The Company concluded the sale of ExpressJet did not meet the significant shift criteria for a discontinued operation under Discontinued Operations, Accounting Standards Codification 205-20, primarily as the Company continued to provide regional airline service through SkyWest Airlines in similar geographic regions, without a removal of a major airline partner, and with similar sized regional aircraft, upon the sale of ExpressJet. The Company’s chief operating decision maker analyzes the profitability of operating the E175 aircraft (including operating costs and associated revenue) separately from the profitability of the Company’s ownership, financing costs and associated revenue of the Company’s E175 aircraft (including depreciation expense, interest expense and associated revenue). The SkyWest Leasing segment includes revenue attributed to the Company’s E175 aircraft ownership cost earned under the applicable fixed-fee contracts 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 four CRJ200 aircraft leased to a third-party. The following represents the Company’s segment data for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands).
