Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENTS
SEGMENTS
The segment reporting structure uses the Company’s management reporting structure as its foundation to reflect how the Company manages the business internally with further aggregation by geographic regions to provide better socio-political-economic understanding of our business. The management reporting structure is organized along six strategic business units (“SBUs”) — led by our Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), who in turn reports to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company applied the accounting guidance for segment reporting which provides certain qualitative and quantitative thresholds and aggregation criteria. The Company concluded that the Gener operating segment met the quantitative threshold to require separate presentation. As such, an additional reportable segment, which consists solely of the results of Gener, is now reported as Andes — Gener — Generation. Gener was previously included as part of the Andes — Generation reportable segment. All of the remaining businesses that were formerly part of the Andes — Generation reportable segment are now reported as Andes — Other — Generation. All prior-period results have been retrospectively revised to reflect the new segment reporting structure. The Company has increased from eight to the following nine reportable segments based on the six strategic business units:

US — Generation;
US — Utilities;
Andes — Gener — Generation;
Andes — Other — Generation;
Brazil — Generation;
Brazil — Utilities;
MCAC — Generation;
EMEA — Generation; and
Asia — Generation.
Corporate and Other — The Company’s EMEA and MCAC Utilities operating segments are reported within “Corporate and Other” because they do not meet the criteria to allow for aggregation with another operating segment or the quantitative thresholds that would require separate disclosure under the segment reporting accounting guidance. None of these operating segments are currently material to our presentation of reportable segments, individually or in the aggregate. AES Solar and certain other unconsolidated businesses are accounted for using the equity method of accounting; therefore, their operating results are included in “Net Equity in Earnings of Affiliates” on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, not in revenue or Adjusted pre-tax contribution (“Adjusted PTC”). “Corporate and Other” also includes corporate overhead costs which are not directly associated with the operations of our nine reportable segments and other intercompany charges such as self-insurance premiums which are fully eliminated in consolidation.
The Company uses Adjusted PTC as its primary segment performance measure. Adjusted PTC, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to AES excluding unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, gains or losses due to dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, losses due to impairments and costs due to the early retirement of debt. The Company has concluded that Adjusted PTC best reflects the underlying business performance of the Company and is the most relevant measure considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of the financial performance of its segments. Additionally, given its large number of businesses and complexity, the Company concluded that Adjusted PTC is a more transparent measure that better assists the investor in determining which businesses have the greatest impact on the overall Company results.
Total revenue includes inter-segment revenue primarily related to the transfer of electricity from generation plants to utilities within Brazil. No material inter-segment revenue relationships exist between other segments. Corporate allocations include certain self-insurance activities which are reflected within segment adjusted PTC. All intra-segment activity has been eliminated with respect to revenue and adjusted PTC within the segment. Inter-segment activity has been eliminated within the total consolidated results. Asset information for businesses that were discontinued or classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2013 is segregated and is shown in the line “Discontinued Businesses” in the accompanying segment tables.
Information about the Company’s operations by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:
