Business segments | Business segments We consider each one of our owned resorts to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. We also allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual resorts. Our operating segments meet the aggregation criteria and thus, we report four separate reportable segments by geography: (i) Yucatán Peninsula, (ii) Pacific Coast, (iii) Dominican Republic and (iv) Jamaica. Our operating segments are components of the business that are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, all of whom represent our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Financial information for each reportable segment is reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we have excluded the immaterial amounts of management fees, cost reimbursements, The Playa Collection revenues and other from our segment reporting. The performance of our business is evaluated primarily on adjusted earnings before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and the performance of our segments is evaluated on Adjusted EBITDA before corporate expenses, The Playa Collection revenue and management fees (“Owned Resort EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the periods presented, before interest expense, income tax provision, and depreciation and amortization expense, further adjusted to exclude the following items: (a) (gain) loss on sale of assets; (b) other (expense) income; (c) repairs from hurricanes and tropical storms; (d) share-based compensation; and (e) transaction expenses. Adjusted EBITDA includes corporate expenses, which are overhead costs that are essential to support the operation of the Company, including the operations and development of our resorts. There are limitations to using financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Owned Resort EBITDA. For example, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA or similarly named financial measures that other companies publish to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income or loss generated by our business or discretionary cash available for investment in our business and investors should carefully consider our U.S. GAAP results presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
