Segment Information
SEGMENT INFORMATION
We manage our operations through six operating segments: Racing, Casinos, TwinSpires, Big Fish Games, Other Investments and Corporate. Eliminations include the elimination of intersegment transactions. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the following:
Adjusted EBITDA includes:
•
Changes in Big Fish Games deferred revenue;
•
50% of the operating income or loss of our joint venture, MVG;
•
25% of the operating income from our Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC ("SCH") equity investment; and
•
Intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income
Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
•
Big Fish Games adjustments which include:
◦
Acquisition-related charges, including the change in fair value of the Big Fish Games earnout and deferred consideration liability recorded each reporting period; and
◦
Transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense
•
Stock-based compensation expense;
•
Miami Valley Gaming, LLC ("MVG") interest expense, net;
•
Calder exit costs; and
•
Other charges and recoveries.
On January 1, 2014, we reclassified our equity investment in MVG from Other Investments to Casinos, to coincide with the first full period of operations for the venture. MVG's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been reclassified to the Casinos segment. As of December 31, 2015, we have identified Corporate as its own operating segment and have retrospectively adjusted segment disclosures for prior periods to reflect this reclassification.
We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric because we believe the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring items is necessary to provide a more accurate measure of our core operating results and enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
