Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting
Our reportable business segments: our Trading and Clearing segment and our Data and Listings segment. This presentation is reflective of how our chief operating decision maker reviews and operates our business. Our Trading and Clearing segment comprises our transaction-based execution and clearing businesses. Our Data and Listings segment comprises our data services and our securities listings businesses, which are both largely subscription-based. Our chief operating decision maker does not review total assets or statements of income below operating income by segments; therefore, such information is not presented below. Our two segments do not engage in intersegment transactions.

Financial data for our business segments is as follows in 2019, 2018 and 2017 (in millions):

Revenue from one clearing member of the Trading and Clearing segment comprised $368 million, or 14% of our Trading and Clearing revenues, less transaction-based expenses in 2019. Revenue from one clearing member of the Trading and Clearing segment comprised $406 million, or 17% of our Trading and Clearing revenues less transaction-based expenses in 2018. Revenue from two clearing members of the Trading and Clearing segment comprised $477 million, or 22% of our Trading and Clearing revenues in 2017. Clearing members are primarily intermediaries and represent a broad range of principal trading firms. If a clearing member ceased its operations, we believe that the trading firms would continue to conduct transactions and would clear those transactions through another clearing member firm. No additional customers or clearing members accounted for more than 10% of our segment revenues or consolidated revenues in 2019, 2018 and 2017.
