(13)ÌýÌýÌýInformation jvidÊÓƵ jvidÊÓƵ's Operating Segments jvidÊÓƵ, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and online commerce industries. jvidÊÓƵ identifies its reportable segments as (A)Ìýthose consolidated subsidiaries that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA or total assets and (B)Ìýthose equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of jvidÊÓƵ's annual pre-tax earnings. jvidÊÓƵ evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue, Adjusted OIBDA, gross margin, average sales price per unit and revenue or sales per customer equivalent. In addition, jvidÊÓƵ reviews nonfinancial measures such as unique website visitors, number of units shipped, conversion rates and active customers, as appropriate. jvidÊÓƵ defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of sales, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding all stock-based compensation. jvidÊÓƵ believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including each business's ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, certain purchase accounting adjustments, separately reported litigation settlements, transaction related costs (including restructuring, integration, and advisory fees), and impairment charges that are included in the measurement of operating income pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. jvidÊÓƵ generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.
