Segment and Geographic Information | Segment and Geographic Information Segment Information The Company operates its business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two operating segments which also represent its reporting segments: • Equipment leasing—the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet. • Equipment trading—the Company purchases containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resells these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment. Included in the equipment trading segment revenues are leasing revenues from equipment purchased for resale that is currently on lease until the containers are dropped off. These operating segments were determined based on the chief operating decision maker's review and resource allocation of the products and service offered.

Certain administrative expenses have been allocated between segments based on an estimate of services provided to each segment. A portion of the Company's equipment purchased for resale may be leased for a period of time and is reflected as leasing equipment as opposed to equipment held for sale and the cash flows associated with these transactions are reflected as purchases of leasing equipment and proceeds from the sale of equipment in investing activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Geographic Segment Information The Company generates the majority of its leasing revenues from international containers which are deployed by its customers in a wide variety of global trade routes. The majority of the Company's leasing related revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars. The following table summarizes the geographic allocation of equipment leasing revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 based on the Company's customers' primary domicile (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Total equipment leasing revenues: Asia $ 133,787 $ 142,978 $ 405,592 $ 407,919 Europe 164,197 164,812 490,190 462,943 Americas 28,701 31,796 90,391 92,949 Bermuda 515 778 1,732 2,112 Other International 9,468 9,714 28,188 29,023 Total $ 336,668 $ 350,078 $ 1,016,093 $ 994,946 Since the majority of the Company's containers are used internationally, where no one container is domiciled in one particular place for a prolonged period of time, all of the Company's long-lived assets are considered to be international. The following table summarizes the geographic allocation of equipment trading revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 based on the location of the sale (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Total equipment trading revenues: Asia $ 4,814 $ 5,824 $ 11,799 $ 11,539 Europe 9,756 6,475 22,187 15,829 Americas 8,827 10,407 24,880 23,164 Bermuda — — — — Other International 2,399 2,586 7,967 6,234 Total $ 25,796 $ 25,292 $ 66,833 $ 56,766 |
