The Company's E-cigarette segment did not have any revenues in the 2013 periods and reported a loss from Pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA of $560 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
As a result of the amount of operating losses of Zoom as of September 30, 2014, when compared to the remaining components of the Company's Corporate and Other segment, the Company has reevaluated its operating segments and has separated Zoom’s operations from the Corporate and Other segment for previously reported 2014 periods and from the Tobacco segment for the previously reported 2013 periods. Thus, prior period information has been recast to conform to the current presentation. This change did not have an impact to the Company's historical consolidated results.
