| SEGMENTS |
The Company manages its international market and its U.S. market as separate reportable operating segments, with the international segment consisting of operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curacao and Paraguay. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenues. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as shown in the reconciliation table below, because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure the Company’s performance and liquidity, estimate the Company’s value and evaluate the Company’s ability to service debt. In addition, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate Company performance or allocate resources between segments.
Below is a breakdown of select financial information by reportable operating segment:
