CLEAN HARBORS,INC. (NYSE:CLH) Files An 8-K Regulation FD DisclosureItem 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, certain of the Company's businesses undertook a reorganization which included changes to the underlying business and management structures. The reorganization resulted in combining the Environmental Services businesses from an operational and management perspective and is expected to deepen customer relationships and allow for efficiencies across the Company's operations through the sharing of resources, namely labor and equipment which will reduce third party spend and promote the cross selling of such business offerings. In connection with this reorganization, the Company’s chief operating decision maker also requested changes in the information that he regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. These changes required a reconsideration of the Company’s operating segments in the first quarter of 2018 and resulted in a change in the Company’s assessment of its operating segments. Upon reconsideration of the identification of the Company’s operating segments, the Company concluded that there are now two operating segments for disclosure in accordance with ASC 280 Segment reporting; (i) the Environmental Services segment which consists of the Company’s historical Technical Services, Industrial Services, Field Services and Oil, Gas and Lodging businesses and (ii) the Safety-Kleen segment.
The operations not managed through the Company’s operating segments described above are recorded as “Corporate Items.” Corporate Items revenues consist of two different operations for which the revenues are insignificant. Corporate Items cost of revenues represents certain central services that are not allocated to the Company's operating segments for internal reporting purposes. Corporate Items selling, general and administrative expenses include typical corporate items such as legal, accounting and other items of a general corporate nature that are not allocated to the Company’s operating segments.
The primary financial measure by which the Company evaluates the performance of its segments is Adjusted EBITDA which consists of net income (loss) plus accretion of environmental liabilities, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, loss on early extinguishment of debt, provision (benefit) for income taxes, other gains or non-cash charges (including gain on sale of businesses and goodwill impairment charge) not deemed representative of fundamental segment results and excludes other expense (income), net. Transactions between the segments are accounted for at the Company’s best estimate based on similar transactions with outside customers.
