| Segment Information |
Note 18. Segment Information Our two operating segments, Beverage Solutions and Sustainable Sourcing & Traceability, are evaluated using Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is a segment performance measure. We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income determined in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense and the impact, which may be recurring in nature, of transaction, restructuring and integrations costs, impairment charges, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments, certain non-capitalizable costs necessary to place the Conway Facility into commercial production, certain recurring operating costs related to the scale-up of operations of the Conway Facility, the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs, costs incurred as a result of the early repayment of debt, gains or losses on dispositions, and other similar or infrequent items (although we may not have had such charges in the periods presented). The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, it’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the purpose of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and deciding how to allocate resources. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is used by the CODM to review operating trends and to monitor budget-to-actual variances in order to make key operating decisions.
