Business Segment Information

(16) BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

We are a holding company that, through our subsidiaries, conducts our operations through the following two reportable segments: Electric Utilities and Gas Utilities. Certain unallocated corporate expenses that support our reportable segments are presented as Corporate and Other.

 

Our operating segments, which are equivalent to our reportable segments, are based on our method of internal reporting, which is generally segregated by differences in products and services. All of our operations and assets are located within the United States.

 

Our Electric Utilities segment includes the operating results of the regulated electric utility operations of Colorado Electric, South Dakota Electric, and Wyoming Electric, which supply regulated electric utility services to areas in Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming. We also own and operate non-regulated power generation and mining businesses that are vertically integrated with our Electric Utilities.

 

Our Gas Utilities segment consists of the operating results of our regulated natural gas utility subsidiaries in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming.

 

Corporate and Other consists of certain unallocated expenses for administrative activities that support our operating segments. Corporate and Other also includes our captive insurance cell, business development activities that are not part of our operating segments, and inter-segment eliminations.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be our CODM, sets financial performance objectives and budgets and establishes separate targets based on operating income for our Electric Utilities segment as well as our Gas Utilities segment. Our CODM assesses segment financial performance, including quarterly and annual budget-to-actual and year-over-year variances in revenues and expenses, to inform operating decisions, capital investments and cost recovery strategies. Our CODM reviews capital expenditures by operating segment rather than any individual or total asset amount.
