Segment and Geographic Information
Effective in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company operates as one operating segment. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its chief executive officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources.
Historically, the Company reported contribution profit (loss) for three segments: Domestic streaming, International streaming and Domestic DVD, which was reflective of how the Company’s CODM reviewed financial information for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. Because the Company increasingly obtains multi-territory or global rights for streaming content, contribution profit (loss) on a regional basis is no longer a meaningful metric reviewed by the CODM or used in the allocation of resources. Instead, the CODM now focuses on the Company's global operating margin as the primary measure of profitability and basis for allocation of resources.
Total U.S. revenues were $9.5 billion, $8.0 billion and $6.6 billion for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. See Note 1 Revenue Recognition for additional information about streaming revenue by region.
