Business Segments
 
Our reportable segments are Domestic and International, which are comprised of our domestic and international waste and energy services operations, respectively.
 
Domestic
 
For all energy-from-waste projects, we receive revenue from two primary sources: fees charged for operating projects or processing waste received and payments for electricity and steam sales. We also operate, and in some cases have ownership interests in, transfer stations and landfills which generate revenue from waste and ash disposal fees or operating fees. In addition, we own and in some cases operate, other renewable energy projects in the United States which generate electricity from wood waste (biomass), landfill gas, and hydroelectric resources. The electricity from these other renewable energy projects is sold to utilities. For these projects, we receive revenue from electricity sales, and in some cases cash from equity distributions.
 
International
 
We have ownership interests in and/or operate facilities internationally, including independent power production facilities in the Philippines, Bangladesh and India where we generate electricity by combusting coal, natural gas and heavy fuel-oil, and energy-from-waste facilities in China and Italy. We receive revenue from operating fees, electricity and steam sales, and in some cases cash from equity distributions.

Business Segments
 
Prior to January 1, 2007, we had two reportable business segments — Waste and Energy Services and Other Services. Given our increased focus on developing our international business, during the first quarter of 2007, we segregated what we previously had reported as our Waste and Energy Services segment into two new segments: Domestic and International. Our remaining operations, which we previously reported as our Other Services segment and was comprised of the holding company and insurance subsidiaries’ operations, did not meet the quantitative thresholds which required separate disclosure as a reportable segment. Therefore, our reportable segments are now Domestic and International, which are comprised of our domestic and international waste and energy services operations, respectively.
 
The financial results of the holding company primarily consist of interest expense and income. General and administrative expenses related to legal and other professional fees and insurance are reimbursed by the operating subsidiaries under an administrative services agreement.
 
Our predominant business is the waste and energy services business, however our historical consolidated operations were conducted in the insurance industry prior to the acquisition of Covanta Energy in March 2004. Our insurance business continues to represent an important element of our structure in that our net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) were primarily generated through the operations of these former subsidiaries. See Note 9. Income Taxes of the Notes for more information about our NOLs.

The electricity from these projects is sold to utilities. For these projects, we receive revenue from electricity sales, and in some cases cash from equity distributions.
 
International
 
We also engage in the independent power production and energy-from-waste businesses outside the United States, through field offices where local management is focused on operating existing businesses and pursuing growth opportunities. Through subsidiaries, we have ownership interests in, and/or operate facilities in the Philippines, China, Bangladesh, India, Costa Rica, and Italy. The Costa Rica facilities generate electricity from hydroelectric resources while the other independent power production facilities generate electricity and steam by combusting coal, natural gas, or heavy fuel oil. In addition, two facilities in China and one facility in Italy generate electricity by processing waste received. For these projects, our international subsidiary receives revenue from operating fees, electricity and steam sales, and in some cases cash from equity distributions.

Our Business Segments
 
Given the significance of the Covanta Energy and ARC Holdings acquisitions to our results of operations and financial condition, we decided, during the third quarter of 2005, to combine the previously separate business segments of Insurance Services and Parent-Only operations into one reportable segment called Other Services. Therefore, we have two reportable business segments — Waste and Energy Services and Other Services.
