Business Segments Business Segments
DPL manages its business through one reportable operating segment, the Utility segment. The primary segment performance measure is income / (loss) from continuing operations before income tax as management has concluded that this measure best reflects the underlying business performance of DPL and is the most relevant measure considered in DPL’s internal evaluation of the financial performance of its segments. The Utility segment is discussed further below:

Utility Segment
The Utility segment is comprised primarily of AES Ohio’s electric transmission and distribution businesses, which distribute electricity to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers. AES Ohio distributes electricity to more than 534,000 retail customers who are located in a 6,000-square mile area of West Central Ohio. AES Ohio’s electric transmission and distribution businesses are subject to rate regulation by federal and state regulators. Accordingly, AES Ohio applies the accounting standards for regulated operations to its electric transmission and distribution businesses recording regulatory assets when incurred costs are expected to be recovered in future customer rates and regulatory liabilities when current cost recoveries in customer rates relate to expected future costs. The Utility segment includes revenues and costs associated with our investment in OVEC and the historical results of AES Ohio’s Hutchings Coal Station, which was closed in 2013 and transferred to a third party in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Included within the “Other” column are other businesses that do not meet the GAAP requirements for disclosure as reportable segments as well as certain corporate costs, which include interest expense and loss on early extinguishment of debt on DPL’s long-term debt as well as adjustments related to purchase accounting from the Merger. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Intersegment sales, costs of sales and expenses are eliminated in consolidation. Certain shared and corporate costs are allocated between "Other" and the Utility reporting segment.
