Segment Information
Note 15 — Segment Information
We have determined that we have two reportable segments: (1) Gas Utility and (2) Electric Utility. Gas Utility revenues are derived principally from the sale and distribution of natural gas to customers in eastern and central Pennsylvania. Electric Utility derives its revenues principally from the sale and distribution of electricity in two northeastern Pennsylvania counties.
The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the performance of our Gas Utility and Electric Utility segments principally based upon their income before income taxes. Financial information by business segment follows:

(a) Amounts reflect the reclassification of non-service income (expense) associated with our pension and other postretirement plans from “Operating and administrative expenses” to “Pension and other postretirement plans non-service income (expense)” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2017-07 (see Note 3).
