Segments | Segments ASC 280, Segment Reporting, defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Beginning January 1, 2017, the Company’s operating segments consist of the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Texas, Intermountain and Western divisions after the Company realigned certain of its markets, which resulted in the consolidation of the Company’s historical Mountain West division into the Intermountain division. Following the realignment, the CODM continues to review aggregate information to allocate resources and assess performance. Based on this, as well as the similar economic characteristics, nature of products, distribution methods and customers of the divisions both before and after the realignment, the Company has aggregated its operating segments into one reportable segment, “Geographic divisions.” In addition to our reportable segment, the Company’s consolidated results include “Other reconciling items.” Other reconciling items is comprised of our corporate activities and other income and expenses not allocated to the operating segments. The following tables present Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA and certain other measures for the reportable segment and total Company operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . Adjusted EBITDA is used as a performance metric by the CODM in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance.
