Segment information
We disclose the results of each of our operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. We manage our business in two operating segments as follows:
•Rubber Carbon Black—Used in the reinforcement of rubber in tires and mechanical rubber goods, and
•Specialty Carbon Black—Used for protection, colorization and conductivity in coatings, polymers, batteries, printing and other special applications.
Corporate includes income and expenses that cannot be directly allocated to the business segments or that are managed at the corporate level. This includes finance income and expenses, taxes and items with less bearing on the underlying core business.
Discrete financial information is available for each of the segments, and the CODM uses operating results of each operating segment for performance evaluation and resource allocation.
Our CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure for reviewing our segment profitability. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and non-recurring items (such as restructuring expenses, legal settlements gains, etc.) plus Earnings in affiliated companies, net of tax.
The CODM does not review reportable segment asset or liability information for purposes of assessing performance or allocating resources.
Segment operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
