Segment Information
15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We manage our operations through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, Wagering Services and Solutions, and Gaming. Our operating segments reflect the internal management reporting used by our chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate results of operations and to assess performance and allocate resources.
Eliminations include the elimination of intersegment transactions. We utilize non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy, and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA includes the following adjustments, as applicable in each period:
Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments and the portion of EBITDA attributable to a noncontrolling interest.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
•Transaction expense, net which includes:
–Acquisition, disposition, and property sale related charges;
–Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
•Stock-based compensation expense;
•Rivers Des Plaines' impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from legal reserves and transaction costs;
•Asset impairments;
•Gain on property sales;
•Legal reserves;
•Pre-opening expense; and
•Other charges, recoveries and expenses
We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric to provide a more accurate measure of our core operating results and enable management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure provided in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The tables below present net revenue from external customers, Adjusted EBITDA by segment and reconciles comprehensive income to Adjusted EBITDA:
