Operating Segments [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION
SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our operations are organized into four operating segments which are regularly reviewed by our CODM for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The key measures used by the CODM in assessing performance and in making resource allocation decisions are funds from operations, which is calculated as net income excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, breakage and transaction costs, non-cash valuation gains or losses and other items (“Company FFO”), and Company FFO excluding the impact of realized disposition gains (losses), interest expense, current income taxes, and realized disposition gains, current income taxes and interest expense related to equity accounted investments (“Company EBITDA”).
