Segment Data | Segment Data We aggregate our operating segments into two reportable segments: (i) pipelines and transportation and (ii) wholesale marketing and terminalling: • The assets and investments reported in the pipelines and transportation segment provide crude oil gathering and crude oil, intermediate and refined products transportation and storage services to Delek Holdings' refining operations and independent third parties. • The wholesale marketing and terminalling segment provides wholesale marketing and terminalling services to Delek Holdings' refining operations and independent third parties. Our operating segments adhere to the accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements. Our operating segments are managed separately because each segment requires different industry knowledge, technology and marketing strategies. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of its reportable segments based on segment contribution margin. Segment contribution margin is defined as net revenues less cost of materials and other and operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization.
