Segment and Geographic Area Information
SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company presents the financial results of its nine operating regions as three reportable segments: North American Operations, Australian Operations and U.K./European Operations. The Company owns a 51.1% controlling interest in the Australian Operations. As such, the Company includes 100% of the revenues and expenses from its Australian Operations within its consolidated financial statements and reports a noncontrolling interest for MIRA’s 48.9% equity ownership. Each of the Company's segments generates the following three categories of revenues from external customers: freight revenues, freight-related revenues and all other revenues. The Company's seven North American regions are aggregated into one reportable segment as a result of having similar economic and operating characteristics.
The results of operations of the Company's foreign entities are maintained in the respective local currency (the Australian dollar, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Euro) and then translated into United States dollars at the applicable exchange rates for inclusion in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, any appreciation or depreciation of these currencies against the United States dollar will impact the Company's results of operations.
The following tables reflect the balance sheet exchange rates as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the average exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 used to translate the foreign entities respective local currency balance sheet and results of operations into United States dollars for the respective period:
