Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
Our business is conducted through three reportable business segments, comprised of the following:
•Exchanges: We operate regulated marketplace technology for the listing, trading and clearing of a broad array of derivatives contracts and financial securities as well as data and connectivity services related to our exchanges and clearing houses;
•Fixed Income and Data Services: We provide fixed income pricing, reference data, indices, analytics and execution services, as well as global CDS clearing and multi-asset class data delivery technology; and
•Mortgage Technology: We provide a technology platform that offers customers comprehensive, digital workflow tools that aim to address inefficiencies and mitigate risks that exist in the U.S. residential mortgage market life cycle, from application through closing, servicing and the secondary market.
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, is Jeffrey Sprecher, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses operating income/(loss) to assess performance and allocate resources for each segment including decisions on product pricing and new products, strategic mergers and acquisitions, marketing costs, capital expenditures, employee headcount and compensation. The CODM evaluates both budgeted and actual operating income/(loss) and the related growth when assessing performance and making decisions about allocating resources as described above. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2.
The information and amounts presented in the tables below align with the segment-level information regularly provided to the CODM. While revenues are recorded specifically in the segment in which they are earned or to which they relate, a significant portion of our operating expenses are not solely related to a specific segment because the expenses serve functions that are necessary for the operation of more than one segment. We directly allocate expenses when reasonably possible to do so. Otherwise, we use a pro-rata revenue approach as the allocation method for the expenses that do not relate solely to one segment and serve functions that are necessary for the operation of all segments. The significant expense categories are other operating expenses, acquisition-related transaction and integration costs and depreciation and amortization. Other operating expenses include the aggregation of compensation and benefits, professional services, technology and communication, rent and occupancy and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Our chief operating decision maker does not review total assets or statements of income below operating income by segments; therefore, such information is not presented below. Our three segments do not engage in intersegment transactions.
Financial data for our business segments is as follows for 2024, 2023 and 2022 (in millions):
