Business Segments | usiness Segments Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), manages the segments, evaluates financial results, and makes key operating decisions. The Company is organized and managed as three business segments: North America, Latin America, and EMEA. The North America segment includes operations in the United States and Canada; the Latin America segment includes operations in Mexico, South America, and Central America; and the EMEA segment includes operations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. “Other” consists of intersegment eliminations, shared service activities and unallocated corporate expenses. All transactions between segments are presented at their gross amounts and eliminated through Other. Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The accounting policies of each of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1. Adjusted EBITDA represents income from operations excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, income/expense related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and other items as described below. Management does not evaluate the performance of its operating segments using asset measures. The table below presents financial information for the Company’s reportable operating segments and Other for the three and nine month periods noted (in thousands): North America Latin America EMEA Other Total Three Months Ended September 30, 2015: Net revenue from third parties $ 179,990 $ 25,710 $ 59,020 $ — $ 264,720 Net revenue from other segments — 358 2,516 (2,874 ) — Total net revenues 179,990 26,069 61,536 (2,874 ) 264,720 Adjusted EBITDA (1) 18,053 2,288 3,591 (6,315 ) 17,617 Three Months Ended September 30, 2014: Net revenue from third parties $ 166,338 $ 24,622 $ 60,692 $ — $ 251,652 Net revenue from other segments — 103 2 (105 ) — Total net revenues 166,338 24,725 60,694 (105 ) 251,652 Adjusted EBITDA (1) 14,149 1,464 2,564 (5,891 ) 12,286 North America Latin America EMEA Other Total Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015: Net revenue from third parties $ 519,727 $ 74,076 $ 165,240 $ — $ 759,043 Net revenue from other segments — 1,302 7,026 (8,328 ) — Total net revenues 519,727 75,378 172,266 (8,328 ) 759,043 Adjusted EBITDA (1) 46,612 5,564 6,027 (20,997 ) 37,205 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014: Net revenue from third parties $ 515,178 $ 77,522 $ 160,791 $ — $ 753,491 Net revenue from other segments 48 321 2,413 (2,782 ) — Total net revenues 515,226 77,843 163,204 (2,782 ) 753,491 Adjusted EBITDA (1) 40,866 4,194 5,331 (20,058 ) 30,333 (1) Adjusted EBITDA, which represents income from operations with the addition of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, change in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and certain legal settlements, is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under SEC regulations. Income from operations is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company presents this measure as supplemental information to help investors better understand trends in its business results over time. The Company’s management team uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA is not equivalent to any measure of performance required to be reported under GAAP, nor should this data be considered an indicator of the Company’s overall financial performance and liquidity. Moreover, the Adjusted EBITDA definition the Company uses may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
