Geographic Information

The Company operates with one reportable segment whose results are regularly reviewed by the Company's CEO, its chief operating decision maker as to performance and allocation of resources. External customer revenues in the tables below are attributed to a particular country based on whether the customer had a direct contract with the Company which was executed in that particular country for the sale of the Company's products/services with an Ebix subsidiary located in that country.

During the first nine months of 2018 the United States' revenues decreased $11.0 million primarily due to a combination of decreased professional services and a decrease of third party administrator services. Canada's revenues decreased by $1.6 million primarily due to decreased revenue from professional services. Australia's revenues increased by $1.7 million primarily due to a combination of increased professional services and transaction fees, net of a $(276) thousand increase due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. India's revenue increased $102.5 million due to $103.8 million of revenues associated with the acquisitions of ItzCash (Q2 2017), YouFirst (Q3 2017), Wall Street (Q4 2017), Paul Merchants (Q4 2017), Via (Q4 2017), Transcorp (Q1 2018), Centrum (Q2 2018), Smartclass (Q2 2018), Indus (Q3 2018), Mercury (Q3 2018), Leisure (Q3 2018), and Miles (Q3 2018). Partially offsetting this was a $(900) thousand decrease in e-governance contracts. Increases in Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and United Arab Emirates are due to the November 2017 acquisition of Via (Q4 2017).

In the geographical information table above the significant changes to long-lived assets from September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2018 were comprised of an increase in the United States of $2.1 million primarily due to capitalized continuing medical education product costs and the continued build out of our global corporate headquarters campus in Johns Creek, Georgia. A decrease occurred in Latin America of $5.6 million primarily due to a 22.0% weakening of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar which caused a $5.2 million decrease in the translation of long-lived assets plus continued amortization of intangible assets. An increase in India of $293.5 million is primarily due to a $319.5 million increase associated with the acquisitions of Wall Street (Q4 2017), Paul Merchants (Q4 2017), Via (Q4 2017), Transcorp (Q1 2018), Centrum (Q2 2018), Smartclass (Q2 2018), Indus (Q3 2018), Mercury (Q3 2018), Leisure (Q3 2018), and Miles (Q3 2018), partially offset for purchase accounting adjustments made for ItzCash (Q2 2017) acquisition. The Europe increase of $2.2 million is primarily due to an increase in deferred tax assets primarily due to the release of valuation allowances of operating loss carryforwards, partially offset by the amortization of intangible assets and capitalized software development costs.
