17. Segment Reporting

 

The Company leverages its Platform to build content verticals powered by anchor brands. The Company’s strategy is to focus on key subject matter verticals where audiences are passionate about a topic category where it can leverage the strength of its core brands to grow its audience and monetize editorially focused online content through various display and video advertisements that are viewed by internet users of the content.

 

The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM was newly appointed to this role in 2024 and began reviewing segment gross profit by vertical when evaluating performance and making resource allocation decisions rather than focusing on consolidated company net income, which resulted in a change to reportable segments. The prior period presented has been re-cast to reflect this change. Changes to the CODM in subsequent periods may result in a change to reportable segments. This segment profit measure is defined as segment revenue less segment cost of revenue, consisting of costs and expenses directly attributable to the segment. The Company now has four reportable segments: Sports & Leisure, Finance, Lifestyle, and Platform. The Company’s reportable segments are organized in subject matter verticals that offer content on the respective topic.

 

Each of the reportable segments derives its revenue from digital advertising, digital subscriptions, performance marketing, publisher revenue, and licensing and publisher revenues as described above in Note 2.

 

The following tables summarize key financial information by segment:
