Segment Information

12.Segment Information 

 

Our operating and reportable segments are currently organized around the following products and services that we offer as part of our core business strategy:

 

Distributed Generation solutions;

Solar Energy solutions;

Utility Infrastructure solutions; and

Energy Efficiency solutions.

 

The Distributed Generation and Solar Energy reporting segments, described in greater detail below, had previously been reported on a combined basis under our Distributed Generation segment as they both utilized distributed generation technology solutions in their products and services, and they shared overhead costs.  As a result of the utility-scale solar projects awarded to us in July 2014, we expect the Solar Energy operations will be a material portion of our consolidated revenues and operations in 2015 and for the foreseeable future, and it is now being supported by separate overhead costs.  In addition, the cost and margin structure of the Solar Energy segment differs from our traditional Distributed Generation segment.  For these reasons, we determined it was appropriate to report our Distributed Generation and Solar Energy operations as separate reporting segments commencing in 2015.  Our segment information for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 have been reclassified to conform to our current presentation.

 

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews revenues including intersegment revenues, gross profit and operating income (loss) before income taxes when evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to each segment.  Accordingly, intersegment revenue is included in the segment revenues presented in the tables below and is eliminated from revenues and cost of sales in the “Eliminations and Other” column.  The “Eliminations and Other” column also includes various expense items that we do not allocate to our operating segments.  These expenses include corporate overhead and corporate-wide items such as legal and professional fees as well as expense items for which we have not identified a reasonable basis for allocation.  The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.  

 

Distributed Generation  

 

Our Distributed Generation segment manufactures, installs and operates electric generation equipment “on site” at facilities where the power is used, including commercial, institutional and industrial operations. Our Distributed Generation systems typically utilize our proprietary PowerBlock units or, alternatively, generators sourced from major global generator manufacturers as the power plants for our systems.  Our Distributed Generation systems provide a highly dependable backup power supply during power outages, and provide a more efficient and environmentally friendly source of power during high cost periods of peak power demand. These two sources of value benefit both utilities and their large customers.

 

Solar Energy

 

Our Solar Energy segment engineers, procures, constructs and maintains solar power generation equipment for utilities, independent power producers, developers who sell power to utilities and industrial, commercial and institutional customers for “on site” power requirements.  Our Solar Energy systems use photovoltaic solar panels (which we do not manufacture) to provide utilities and their customers with environmentally friendly power to augment their core power requirements.

 

Utility Infrastructure

 

Our Utility Infrastructure segment is focused on helping electric utilities design, build, upgrade and maintain infrastructure that enhances the efficiency of their grid systems.

 

Our largest source of revenue within our Utility Infrastructure area is our UtilityServices products and services. We have significantly expanded our UtilityServices’ scope of utility relationships, customers and geography over the last few years. Our UtilityServices team provides utilities with transmission and distribution system construction and maintenance, including substation construction and maintenance, advanced metering and lighting installations, and storm restoration. In addition to providing these services directly to utilities, we also perform this work on behalf of utilities for their large industrial and institutional customers, and directly to large oil and gas companies.

 

Through our Encari, UtilityEngineering and PowerServices teams, we serve the engineering and consulting needs of our utility clients, broadening our offerings to our utility partners. The scope of services that we offer through UtilityEngineering includes technical engineering services for our utility partners and their customers, including design and engineering relating to virtually every element of their transmission and distribution systems, substations and renewable energy facilities. Through PowerServices, we provide management consulting services to utilities and commercial and industrial customers, including planning and quality improvement, technical studies involving reliability analysis and rate analysis, acquisition studies, accident investigations and power supply contracts and negotiations. Our Encari business, which we acquired in October 2013, provides cybersecurity consulting and regulatory compliance services to the utility industry.

 

Energy Efficiency

 

We deliver Energy Efficiency products and services to assist our customers in the achievement of their energy efficiency goals. We have two primary product and service offerings in our Energy Efficiency segment: LED lighting fixtures and lamps, and energy efficiency upgrades for our Energy Efficiency Services customers. Our LED lighting products are primarily focused on the utility, commercial and industrial, and retail markets, while our Energy Efficiency Services solutions are focused on serving large energy services companies, referred to as ESCOs. In the future, we plan to bring our LED lighting products to our Energy Efficiency Services customer base. In both of our Energy Efficiency segment product and service lines we deliver highly engineered product solutions and upgrades with strong value propositions that are designed to reduce energy costs, improve operations and benefit the environment.
