13.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s business is organized into three reportable segments based on the nature of the products and services offered: (i) Space Systems; (ii) Imagery; and (iii) Services. The Space Systems reportable segment supplies space-based and ground-based infrastructure and information solutions including communication and imaging satellites, satellite payloads and antenna subsystems, space-based and airborne surveillance solutions, robotic systems and associated ground infrastructure and support services. The Imagery segment is a supplier of high resolution Earth imagery and radar data sourced from the Company owned satellite constellations and third-party providers. The Services segment combines imagery, analytic expertise and innovative technology to deliver integrated intelligence solutions to customers.

Transactions between segments are generally negotiated and accounted for under terms and conditions similar to other government and commercial contracts. The reconciling item “corporate and other unallocated expenses” includes items such as corporate office costs, regulatory costs, executive and director compensation, foreign exchange gains and losses, and fees for audit, legal and consulting services.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) measures the performance of each segment based on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items affecting comparability as specified in the calculation. Other unallocated expenses include SSL retention costs and foreign exchange gains and losses which are not included in segment Adjusted EBITDA. The following table summarizes the operating performance of the Company’s segments:
