Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

Our business is conducted through three reportable business segments, comprised of the following:

•In our Exchanges segment, we operate regulated marketplaces for the listing, trading and clearing of a broad array of derivatives contracts and financial securities;

•In our Fixed Income and Data Services segment, we provide fixed income pricing, reference data, indices, analytics and execution services as well as global CDS clearing and multi-asset class data delivery solutions; and

•In our Mortgage Technology segment, we provide an end-to-end technology platform that offers customers comprehensive, digital workflow tools that aim to address the inefficiencies that exist in the U.S. residential mortgage market, from application through closing and the secondary market.

While revenues are recorded specifically in the segment in which they are earned or to which they relate, a significant portion of our operating expenses are not solely related to a specific segment because the expenses serve functions that are necessary for the operation of more than one segment. We directly allocate expenses when reasonably possible to do so. Otherwise, we use a pro-rata revenue approach as the allocation method for the expenses that do not relate solely to one segment and serve functions that are necessary for the operation of all segments.

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 three segments do not engage in intersegment transactions.

Financial data for our business segments is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in millions):

Revenue from one member of the Exchanges segment comprised $124 million, or 11%, of our Exchanges revenue less transaction-based expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Revenue from one clearing member of the Exchanges segment comprised $109 million, or 11% of our Exchanges revenues less transaction-based expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021. 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 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.
