Segment Reporting | 19. Segment Reporting The Company conducts its business through two reportable segments as follows: • Digital Investment Management ("Digital IM")— This business represents a leading global digital infrastructure investment platform, managing capital on behalf of a diverse base of global investors. The Company's flagship opportunistic strategy is conducted through its DigitalBridge Partners platform ("DBP") and separately capitalized vehicles, while other strategies, including digital credit, ventures and public equities, are conducted through other investment vehicles. The Company earns management fees, generally based on the amount of assets or capital managed in investment vehicles, and has the potential to earn incentive fees and carried interest based upon the performance of such investment vehicles, subject to achievement of minimum return hurdles. Earnings from our Digital IM segment were attributed 31.5% to Wafra through the end of May 2022 when Wafra's investment in the Digital IM business was redeemed by the Company (as discussed further in Note 10). • Digital Operating— This business is composed of balance sheet equity interests in digital infrastructure and real estate operating companies, which generally earn rental income from providing use of digital asset space and/or capacity through leases, services and other agreements. The Company currently owns interests in two companies: DataBank, including zColo, an edge colocation data center business (DBRG ownership at 13.5% as of September 30, 2022, 20% as of December 31, 2021); and Vantage SDC, a stabilized hyperscale data center business (DBRG ownership at 13%). Both DataBank and Vantage are also portfolio companies managed under Digital IM for the equity interests owned by third party capital. The Company's remaining investment activities and corporate level activities are presented as Corporate and Other. • Other investment activities are composed of the Company's equity interests in: (i) digital investment vehicles, the largest of which is in the DBP flagship funds, and seed investments in various strategies such as digital liquid and digital credit; and (ii) remaining non-digital investments, primarily in BRSP. Outside of its general partner interests, the Company's other equity interests in its sponsored and/or managed digital investment vehicles are considered to be incidental to its digital investment management business. The primary economics to the Company are represented by fee income and carried interest as general partner and/or manager, rather than economics from its equity interest in the investment vehicles as a limited partner or equivalent. With respect to seed investments, these are not intended to be a long-term deployment of capital by the Company and are expected to be warehoused temporarily on the Company's balance sheet until sufficient third party capital has been raised. At this time, the remaining non-digital investments are not substantially available for immediate sale and are expected to be monetized over an extended period beyond the near term. These other investment activities generate largely equity method earnings or losses and to a lesser extent, revenues in the form of interest income or dividend income from warehoused investments and consolidated investment vehicles. Effective the third quarter of 2021, these activities are no longer presented separately as the Digital Other and Other segments, which is consistent with and reflects management's focus on its core digital operations and overall simplification of the Company's business. This change in segment presentation is reflected retrospectively. • Corporate activities include corporate level cash and corresponding interest income, corporate level financing and related interest expense, corporate level transaction costs, costs in connection with unconsummated investments, income and expense related to cost reimbursement arrangements with affiliates, fixed assets for administrative use, compensation expense not directly attributable to reportable segments, corporate level administrative and overhead costs, and adjustments to eliminate intercompany fees. Costs which are directly attributable, or otherwise can be subjected to a reasonable and systematic allocation, have been allocated to each of the reportable segments. As segment results are presented before elimination of intercompany fees, elimination adjustment pertains to fee income earned by the Digital IM segment from third party capital in investment vehicles managed by the Company and consolidated within the Digital Operating segment and in Corporate and Other. Such adjustments amounted to $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.4 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
