| Segment Information |
Segment Information We assess our business on a regional basis due to the effect on our financial performance of the differing characteristics of these regions, particularly with respect to competition, regulation and other factors affecting supply and demand. At June 30, 2020, our geographic reportable segments for our wholesale business are West (including geothermal), Texas and East (including Canada) and we have a separate reportable segment for our retail business. We continue to evaluate the optimal manner in which we assess our performance including our segments and future changes may result in changes to the composition of our geographic segments. Commodity Margin is a key operational measure of profit reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to assess the performance of our segments. The tables below show financial data for our segments (including a reconciliation of Commodity Margin to income (loss) from operations by segment) for the periods indicated (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 | | Wholesale | | | | Consolidation | | | | West | | Texas | | East | | Retail | | Elimination | | Total | Total operating revenues(1) | $ | 470 |
