Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Segment Reporting, Policy

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 (loss) before depreciation, amortization and other, and share-based compensation granted to executives, non-employee directors and employees (“segment operating income (loss)”). Segment operating income (loss) 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.
