– SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
The Company’s chief operating decision maker, or CODM, assesses performance and allocates resources based upon the separate financial information from the Company’s operating segments. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company considered the nature of services provided, the geographical areas in which the segments operated and other relevant factors.
 
The Company is primarily a specialty cruise operator with operations in
two
segments, Lindblad and Natural Habitat. While both segments have similar characteristics, the
two
operating and reporting segments cannot be aggregated because they fail to meet the requirements for aggregation. The Company evaluates the performance of the business based largely on the results of its operating segments. The CODM and management review operating results monthly, and base operating decisions on the total results at a consolidated level, as well as at a segment level. The reports provided to the Board of Directors are at a consolidated level and also contain information regarding the separate results of both segments.
 
During the
second
quarter of
2016,
the Company completed its acquisition of Natural Habitat. As a result of the acquisition, the Company updated its reporting information and its operating segments to add Natural Habitat as a separate operating and reporting segment.

The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based largely on tour revenues and operating income, without allocating other income and expenses, net, income taxes and interest expense, net. For the full year ended
December 31, 2018,
2017
and
2016,
operating results were as follows:
