12 Segment and Geographic Information

  1. Segment and Geographic Information

As discussed in Note 1 –Accounting Policies, we have five reportable segments: Market Intelligence, Ratings, Commodity Insights, Mobility and Indices.

Our Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) and evaluates performance of our segments and allocates resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) based primarily on operating profit for each segment. Segment operating profit does not include Corporate Unallocated expense, equity in income on unconsolidated subsidiaries, other (income) expense, net, or interest expense, net, as these are amounts that do not affect the operating results of our reportable segments. We use the same accounting policies for our segments as those described in Note 1 –Accounting Policies.

Operating results for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

1 Intersegment revenue primarily relates to a royalty charged to Market Intelligence for the rights to use and distribute content and data developed by Ratings.

2 The segment expense category for Market Intelligence, Ratings, Commodity Insights, Mobility and Indices for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 primarily include an aggregation of compensation costs, technology costs and strategic investments. The segment expense category for Engineering Solutions for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 primarily include an aggregation of technology costs and compensation costs. The CODM considers actual-to-actual and budget-to-actual variances when making decisions about allocating personnel and capital to the segments, however, the CODM does not receive the individual expense items underlying the overall segment expenses. Variance explanations include segment expenses including compensation costs, technology costs and strategic investments, but the CODM is otherwise not provided, and cannot easily calculate, lower-level expense information.

3 Other segment items for each reportable segment primarily include amortization of intangibles from acquisitions, (gain) loss on dispositions and certain items primarily including IHS Markit merger costs, employee severance charges and acquisition and disposition-related costs.

4 Corporate Unallocated expense includes costs for corporate functions, select initiatives, unoccupied office space and Kensho, included in selling and general expenses.
