Our estimated backlog also includes amounts under master service and other service agreements and our proportionate share of estimated revenue from proportionately consolidated non-controlled contractual joint ventures. Estimated backlog for work under master service and other service agreements is determined based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and estimates of customer demand based on communications with our customers.   Supplemental Disclosures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosures (unaudited - in millions, except for percentages and per share information) For the Three Months Ended March 31, Segment Information 2024 2023 Revenue by Reportable Segment Communications $             732.9 $             806.6 Clean Energy and Infrastructure 753.5 824.9 Power Delivery 571.0 709.4 Oil and Gas 633.8 256.5 Other — — Eliminations (4.4) (12.7) Consolidated revenue $          2,686.8 $          2,584.7 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Adjusted EBITDA by Segment EBITDA $             147.6 $               76.6 Non-cash stock-based compensation expense (a) 9.7 8.5 Acquisition and integration costs (b) — 17.1 Losses on fair value of investment (a) — 0.2 Adjusted EBITDA $             157.3 $              102.5 Segment: Communications $               48.8 $               61.7 Clean Energy and Infrastructure 20.4 10.5 Power Delivery
