14. Segment and geographic information

 

We have four reportable segments: East U.S., West U.S., Canada and Un-Allocated Corporate. We revised our reportable business segments in the second quarter of 2015 as the result of significant asset sales and in order to align with changes in management’s structure, resource allocation and performance assessment in making decisions regarding our operations. The Wind Projects, which made up the entirety of the former Wind segment, were sold in June 2015 and are designated as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. We analyze the performance of our operating segments based on Project Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as project income (loss) plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges) and changes in fair value of derivative instruments. We use Project Adjusted EBITDA to provide comparative information about segment performance without considering how projects are capitalized or whether they contain derivative contracts that are required to be recorded at fair value. Our equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates are presented as proportionately consolidated based on our ownership percentage in the reconciliation of Project Adjusted EBITDA to project income (loss).

 

A reconciliation of net (loss) income from continuing operations to Project Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is included in the table below:
