SEGMENT REPORTING |
SEGMENT REPORTING Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company's chief executive officer, who is the Company's chief operating decision maker, 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 segment. Third-party revenue is revenue billed to outside customers by a particular segment. Direct revenues 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 Items.” The following tables reconcile third-party revenues to direct revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the year ended December 31, 2020 | | Environmental Services | | Safety-Kleen | | Corporate Items | | Totals | Third-party revenues | $ | 2,004,081 | | | $ | 1,139,726 | | | $ | 290 | | | $ | 3,144,097 | | Intersegment revenues, net | 129,666 | | | (129,666) | | | — | | | — | | Corporate Items, net | 3,559 | | | 142 | | | (3,701) | | | — | | Direct revenues | $ | 2,137,306 | | | $ | 1,010,202 | | | $ | (3,411) | | | $ | 3,144,097 | |

The primary financial measure by which the Company evaluates the performance of its segments is Adjusted EBITDA, which consists of net income plus accretion of environmental liabilities, depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, loss on early extinguishment of debt and provision for income taxes and excludes other gains, losses and non-cash charges not deemed representative of fundamental segment results and other expense (income), net. Transactions between the segments are accounted for at the Company’s best estimate based on similar transactions with outside customers.
