Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment and Geographic Information

Segment and Geographic Information

The Company's operating business units offer sophisticated information processing and software services and products. Historically, the Company presented these businesses as two operating Segments (Financial Services and Customer Communications). Investments in the Company's real estate subsidiaries and affiliates, equity securities, private equity investments and certain financial interests have been aggregated into the Investments and Other Segment. The Company's chief operating decision maker, which is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, changed in September 2012, and during 2013, there was a change in how the Chief Executive Officer evaluates the strategic direction and financial results of the business and makes investment allocations. As a result, during 2013, DST created a new reportable segment entitled Healthcare Services, by separating DST Healthcare (comprised of DST Health Solutions and Argus Health Systems) from the previously reported Financial Services Segment. The Company's operating business units are now reported as three operating segments (Financial Services, Healthcare Services and Customer Communications). Prior periods have been revised to reflect the new reportable operating segments.

The Customer Communications Segment leases its California, Connecticut and Missouri production facilities from the Investments and Other Segment, but the Company reports financial results for the Customer Communications Segment on the basis that the Customer Communications Segment owns its production facilities. Management believes reporting Customer Communications on this basis improves its ability to analyze the Customer Communications Segment operating results taking into consideration the special purpose nature of the production plants. The Investments and Other Segment continues to present rental revenues from the Customer Communications Segment along with the related depreciation expense associated with the properties, while the elimination of the inter-segment activity is included in the Elimination Adjustments.

The Company evaluates the performance of its Segments based on income before interest expense, income taxes, and non-controlling interest. Intersegment revenues are reflected at rates prescribed by the Company and may not be reflective of market rates.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company's segments is shown in the following tables (in millions):
