SEGMENTS

Operating segments include Electric Operations and Gas Distribution and are organized primarily on the basis of products and services sold.

In connection with the SCANA Combination, effective January 2019, reportable segments were changed to include a Corporate and Other segment and to utilize comprehensive income (loss) as the measure of segment profitability. The Corporate and Other segment includes specific items attributable to DESC's operating segments that are not included in profit measures evaluated by executive management in assessing the segments' performance or in allocating resources. Corresponding amounts in prior periods have been recast to conform to the current presentation.
