Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments and Enterprise-Wide Information [Text Block]

Note 15: Business Segments and Enterprise-Wide Information

Management, including our chief operating decision maker, who is our CEO, evaluates the performances of our business segments primarily on segment revenue and segment operating income before depreciation, amortization and other, and share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees (“segment operating income”). Segment operating income contains internally allocated costs of our shared service support functions, including but not limited to, corporate executive management, business development, sales, finance, legal, human resources, information technology and risk management. We also review depreciation and amortization allocated to each segment. Share-based payments expense related to share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees and expense related to the rights to receive cash issued in connection with our acquisition of ecoATM are not allocated to our segments and are included in the corporate unallocated column in the analysis and reconciliation below; however, share-based payments expense related to our content arrangements with certain movie studios has been allocated to our Redbox segment and is included within direct operating expenses. Our performance evaluation does not include segment assets.

On July 23, 2013, we completed the acquisition of ecoATM. Prior to July 23, 2013 we held a non-controlling equity interest in ecoATM and reported our share of ecoATM's operating results in loss from equity method investments in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Subsequent to our acquisition of ecoATM on July 23, 2013, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the results of operations, with the exception of expense for rights to receive cash which are unallocated corporate expenses, are included in our New Ventures segment as our chief operating decision maker reviews the results in aggregate with other new ventures concepts.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we discontinued the Rubi, Crisp Market, Orango and Star Studio concepts and accordingly their results of operations were reclassified from the New Ventures segment to Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. See Note 13: Discontinued Operationsfor further information.

Our analysis and reconciliation of our segment information to the consolidated financial statements that follows covers our results of operations, which consists of our Redbox, Coinstar and New Ventures segments. Unallocated general and administrative expenses relate to share-based compensation and expense related to the rights to receive cash issued in connection with our acquisition of ecoATM.
