14. REPORTABLE SEGMENT DATA
The Company has four reportable segments which are determined based upon a combination of factors, including the nature of business activities, product and service offerings and the regulatory environment in which the businesses operate. NJNG consists of regulated utility operations that provide energy and off-system, capacity and storage management operations primarily to residential and commercial customers; CEV consists of capital investments in clean energy projects, primarily in commercial solar installations; ES consists of unregulated wholesale and retail energy operations and asset management services; S&T consists of the Company’s investments in natural gas transportation and storage facilities.
The accounting policies of the Company, as described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, are the same as those of the reportable segments. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, uses net income and NFE, as well as various other financial and operational metrics as measures of profitability. Net income is the measure of segment profit or loss that most closely aligns with GAAP. Performance is evaluated based upon profitability and budget and/or forecast-to-actual variances when making decisions about the allocation of resources and capital to segment operations.
