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. In fiscal year 2015 , segments were organized and managed by the CODM as three business segments: North America, including the United States and Canada; EMEA, including operations in the United Kingdom, continental Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia; and LATAM, including operations in Mexico, South America and Central America. Effective in the first fiscal quarter of 2016 , the Company implemented changes to the organizational structure of the Latin America and EMEA segments which included combining the two segments under single management and managing those businesses as one segment. In conjunction with this change, the CODM now manages the results of the Company as two business segments: North America and International. The North America segment includes operations in the United States and Canada; the International segment includes all other operations across Europe, Asia, Mexico, Central America and South America; 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. Prior period amounts have been restated to reflect this change. Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on 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 restructuring and other charges. Management does not evaluate the performance of its operating segments using asset measures.

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.
