Segment Information
 
White Mountains has determined that its reportable segments are HG Global/BAM, MediaAlpha and Other Operations. As a result of OneBeacon Transaction, the results of operations for OneBeacon, previously reported in its own segment has been classified as discontinued operations and is now presented, net of related income taxes, as such in the statement of operations and comprehensive income. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Note 16 — “Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2017, MediaAlpha’s results have been presented as a separate segment within White Mountains’s consolidated financial statements. Amounts for MediaAlpha for the three months ended March 31, 2017 have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
