10. OPERATING SEGMENTS

During 2018, we operated and managed our business through four operating divisions ("Fabrication", "Shipyard", "Services" and "EPC") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represented our reportable segments. During the first quarter 2019, our EPC Division was operationally combined with our Fabrication Division. Our EPC Division was previously created to support the pursuit of a specific EPC project and other projects that require project management of EPC activities. Our operational combination of the EPC Division with the Fabrication Division is the result of our reduced emphasis on EPC project management opportunities and greater focus on onshore modular fabrication opportunities. As a result of the aforementioned, we operate and manage our business through three operating divisions ("Fabrication", "Shipyard" and "Services") and one non-operating division ("Corporate"), which represent our reportable segments. Accordingly, the segment results for the EPC Division for 2018 and 2017 were combined with the Fabrication Division to conform to the presentations of our reportable segments for 2019. We believe that our operating divisions meet the criteria of reportable segments under GAAP. Our three operating divisions and Corporate Division are discussed below:  

Fabrication Division - Our Fabrication Division fabricates modules and piping systems for onshore refining, petrochemical, LNG and industrial facilities; fabricates foundations, secondary steel components and support structures for alternative energy developments and coastal mooring facilities; fabricates offshore production platforms and associated structures, including jacket foundations, piles and topsides for fixed production and utility platforms, as well as hulls and topsides for floating production and utility platforms; and fabricates other complex steel structures and components. These activities are performed at our facility in Houma, Louisiana.

Shipyard Division - Our Shipyard Division fabricates newbuild marine vessels, including OSVs, MPSVs, research vessels, tugboats, salvage vessels, towboats, barges, drydocks, anchor handling vessels, and lift boats; provides marine repair and maintenance services, including steel repair, blasting and painting services, electrical systems repair, machinery and piping system repairs, and propeller, shaft, and rudder reconditioning; and performs conversion projects to lengthen vessels and modify vessels to permit their use for a different type of activity or enhance their capacity or functionality. These activities are performed at our facilities in Houma, Jennings and Lake Charles, Louisiana. See Note 3 for discussion of our anticipated closure of the Jennings Yard.

Services Division - Our Services Division provides services on offshore platforms, including  welding, interconnect piping and other services required to connect production equipment and service modules and equipment on a platform; provides on-site construction and maintenance services on inland platforms and structures and industrial facilities; performs municipal and drainage projects, including pump stations, levee reinforcement, bulkheads and other public works; and fabricates skid units, modules and piping systems. These activities are performed at customer facilities or at our facility in Houma, Louisiana.

Corporate Division - Our Corporate Division includes costs that do not directly relate to our three operating divisions. Such costs include, but are not limited to, costs of maintaining our corporate office, executive management salaries and incentives, board of directors' fees, litigation related costs, and costs associated with overall corporate governance and being a publicly traded company. Costs incurred by our Corporate Division on behalf of our operating divisions are allocated to the operating divisions. Such costs include, but are not limited to, human resources, insurance, sales and marketing, information technology and accounting.

We generally evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, our divisions based upon gross profit (loss) and operating income (loss). Segment assets are comprised of all assets attributable to each division. Intersegment revenues are priced at the estimated fair value of work performed. Summarized financial information for our segments as of and for the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, is as follows (in thousands):
