SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s business is organized into two reportable segments: Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure. The Earth Intelligence reportable segment is a supplier of high-resolution, high accuracy Earth imagery and other geospatial data sourced from the Company’s advanced satellite constellation and third-party providers, as well as a provider of advanced geospatial information applications and analytic services for national security and commercial solutions. The Space Infrastructure reportable segment is a supplier of space-based infrastructure, robotics, subsystems and information solutions to satellite operators and government agencies.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker measures the performance of each segment based on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) adjusted for certain items affecting comparability of the Company’s ongoing operating results as specified in the calculation. Certain items affecting the comparability of our ongoing operating results between periods include restructuring, impairments, insurance recoveries, gain (loss) on sale of assets, (gain) loss on orbital receivables allowance, offset obligation fulfillment and transaction and integration related expense. Transaction and integration related expense includes costs associated with de-leveraging activities, acquisitions and dispositions and the integration of acquisitions. Corporate and other expenses include 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.

Intersegment sales are generally recorded at cost plus a specified margin, which may differ from what the segment may be able to obtain on sales to external customers.

The following table summarizes the operating performance of the Company’s segments:
