Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

8. Segment Information

ICG has two reporting segments: the “core” segment and the “venture” segment. Companies in which ICG holds equity or convertible debt interests that are not deemed to be marketable securities are included in either the core or venture segment, while companies in which ICG holds equity interests that have been designated as marketable securities are considered “corporate” assets.

The core reporting segment includes companies in which ICG’s management takes a very active role in providing strategic direction and management assistance; those companies may be consolidated by ICG or may be equity method or cost method companies. The venture reporting segment includes companies to which ICG generally devotes less capital, holds relatively smaller ownership stakes and generally has less influence over the strategic directions and management decisions than it does with its core companies. At September 30, 2012, the core segment included the results of ICG’s consolidated core companies, recorded ICG’s share of earnings and losses of its equity core companies and captured ICG’s carrying value in its consolidated core companies and equity core companies. At September 30, 2012, the venture segment recorded ICG’s share of earnings and losses of venture companies accounted for under the equity method of accounting and captured ICG’s carrying value in those companies. ICG’s carrying value of its holdings in cost method investments are considered “corporate” assets as of September 30, 2012.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, $3.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of ICG’s consolidated revenue relates to sales generated in Europe, primarily the United Kingdom and Switzerland. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, $2.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of ICG’s consolidated revenue relates to sales generated in the United Kingdom. The remaining consolidated revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 relates primarily to sales generated in the United States. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, ICG’s long-lived assets were located primarily in the United States.

On July 5, 2012, GoIndustry was sold to Liquidity Services. The amount of equity loss related to GoIndustry for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 has been removed from ICG’s venture segment and included in “Dispositions” in the table below. In addition, ICG’s carrying value in GoIndustry has been removed from venture segment assets and included in “Dispositions” as of December 31, 2011 in the table below.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, ClickEquations, Metastorm and StarCite were sold. The amount of equity loss related to each of these companies has been removed from segment results and is reflected in “Dispositions” in the table below for the relevant 2011 period.
