(1) Net sales are attributed to countries based on customer location. (2) Latin America includes Mexico. Segment Information Chemours operates through its three principal reportable segments, which were organized based on their similar economic characteristics, the nature of products and production processes, end-use markets, channels of distribution, and regulatory environments: Thermal & Specialized Solutions, Titanium Technologies, and Advanced Performance Materials. Other non-reportable segment includes the Company’s Performance Chemicals and Intermediates business. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), which is the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, is regularly provided adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") which is the primary measure of segment profitability, by segment and on a consolidated basis. The CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA as the primary basis to measure segment performance relative to expectations set during the Company's annual budget process, which is where decisions regarding allocation of the Company's capital expenditures, employees and financial resources predominately occurs. This regular review of segment and consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, which takes place in monthly Business Operating Reviews (BORs), includes budget-to-actual and various period-over-period variances, which allows the CODM to modify resource allocation accordingly. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, excluding the following: • interest expense, depreciation, and amortization; • non-operating pension and other post-retirement employee benefit costs, which represents the non-service cost component of net periodic pension (income) costs; • exchange (gains) losses included in other income, net; • restructuring, asset-related, and other charges; • (gains) losses on sales of assets and businesses; and, • other items not considered indicative of the Company’s ongoing operational performance and expected to occur infrequently, including certain litigation related and environmental charges and Qualified Spend reimbursable by DuPont and/or Corteva as part of the Company's cost-sharing agreement under the terms of the MOU that were previously excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. The following table sets forth financial information for the Company’s reportable segments as of, and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
