Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT REPORTING SEGMENT REPORTING 
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), which is a committee composed of the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers, manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses performance. The Company is managed and reports as two operating segments; (i) the Environmental Services segment and (ii) the Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions segment.
Third-party revenue is revenue billed to outside customers by a particular segment. Direct revenue is revenue allocated to the segment providing the product or service. Intersegment revenues represent the sharing of third-party revenues among the segments based on products and services provided by each segment as if the products and services were sold directly to the third-party. The intersegment revenues are shown net. The operations not managed through the Company’s operating segments described above are recorded as “Corporate.” Although such transactions are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated earnings.
The following tables reconcile third-party revenues to direct revenues by reportable segment (in thousands):

The primary financial measure by which the CODM evaluates the performance of its segments is Adjusted EBITDA, which consists of net income plus accretion of environmental liabilities, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and provision for income taxes and excludes other transactions not deemed representative of fundamental segment results and other expense, net. Transactions between the segments are accounted for at the Company’s best estimate based on similar transactions with outside customers.
The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to enhance their understanding of segment operating performance, which represents the Company’s performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of operations. The reportable segment operating performance measure, Adjusted EBITDA, is used by the CODM to make key operating decisions such as the allocation of resources. Total assets by segment are not used by the CODM to assess the performance of, or allocate resources to, the Company’s segments. Therefore total assets by segment are not disclosed.
The tables below present total Reportable Segment Adjusted EBITDA and the relevant significant segment expenses provided to the CODM by reported segment (in thousands):
