Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] |
BUSINESS SEGMENTS IPALCO manages its business through one reportable operating segment, the Utility segment, led by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who, collectively, are the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The primary segment performance measures are income / (loss) before income tax and net income / (loss) as management has concluded that these measures best reflect the underlying business performance of IPALCO and are the most relevant measures considered in IPALCO's internal evaluation of the financial performance of its segment. The Utility segment is comprised of AES Indiana, a vertically integrated electric utility, with all other nonutility business activities aggregated separately. See Note 1, "Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information on AES Indiana. The “Other” nonutility category primarily includes the 2030 IPALCO Notes, 2034 IPALCO Notes and related interest expense, cash and other immaterial balances. The accounting policies of the identified segment are consistent with those policies and procedures described in the summary of significant accounting policies. See Note 1, "Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to IPALCO’s 2024 Form 10-K for further information. The following table provides information about IPALCO’s business segments (in thousands):
