Segment Information

The Company operates in two reportable segments: Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure.

The Federal Solutions segment provides advanced technical solutions to the U.S. government, delivering timely, cost-effective hardware, software and solutions for mission-critical projects. The segment provides advanced technologies, supporting national security missions in cyber operations, missile defense, space, electronic warfare and facility modernization, hazardous material remediation, and engineering services.

The Critical Infrastructure segment provides integrated engineering and management services for complex physical and digital infrastructure around the globe. The Critical Infrastructure segment is a technology innovator focused on next generation digital systems and complex structures. Industry leading capabilities in engineering design and project management allow the Company to deliver significant value to customers by employing cutting-edge technologies, improving timelines and reducing costs.

The Company defines its reportable segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of each segment and manages the operations of the Company for purposes of allocating resources among the segments. The CODM evaluates segment operating performance using segment Revenue, segment direct cost of contracts, segment Selling, General and Administrative expense and segment Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation as Adjusted EBITDA excluding Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Parsons Corporation, adjusted to include net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and to exclude interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other items that are not considered in the evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These other items include net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, asset impairment charges, income and expense recognized on litigation matters, expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions and other non-recurring transaction costs and expenses related to our prior restructuring.

Adjusted EBITDA is the measure of our operating performance used by the CODM to assess our segments’ financial performance. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA for business planning purposes, including to manage our segments against internal projected results of operations and measure the performance of our segments generally.

The following tables present segment information provided to the CODM, as of each period presented, along with a reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA attributable to Parsons Corporation to net income attributable to Parsons Corporation for the periods presented (in thousands):
