Segment Data

We report segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable operating segments.

Our chief operating decision maker (the "CODM"), our Chief Executive Officer, manages our operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources. When evaluating our financial performance, the CODM reviews separate revenue information for our advertising, subscription and other offerings, while all other financial information is reviewed on a consolidated basis. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by the CODM, or anyone else, for operations, operating results and planning for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, we have determined that we have one reportable segment and operating unit structure. Prior to the sale of Ticketfly, we operated in two reportable segments. Refer to Note 5 "Dispositions" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Ticketfly disposition.
