Segment Information | Segment Information We report our segment information in the same way management internally organizes the business to assess performance and make decisions regarding allocation of resources in accordance with ASC 280-10- Segment Reporting . Management reviews net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, adjusted for the following items: income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net ; and certain special items consisting of non-recurring net legal and professional expenses and settlements; goodwill impairment; restructuring and asset related charges; other facility closure, consolidation, and related costs and adjustments; M&A related costs; net (gain) loss on sale of property and equipment; loss on extinguishment of debt; share-based compensation expense; pension settlement charges; non-cash foreign exchange transaction/translation (income) loss; and other special items. We use Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations because we believe this measure assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. This non-GAAP financial measure should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have two reportable segments, organized and managed principally in geographic regions: North America and Europe. We report all other business activities in Corporate and unallocated costs. Factors considered in determining the two reportable segments include the nature of business activities, the management structure accountable directly to the CODM, the discrete financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM, and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. No operating segments have been aggregated for our presentation of reportable segments.
