NOTE 4. SEGMENTS

Our reportable segments correspond to how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our chief executive officer, reviews performance and allocates resources. Our four reportable segments consist of the following:

United States: This reportable segment is comprised of Kyndryl’s operations in the United States.

Japan: This reportable segment is comprised of Kyndryl’s operations in Japan.

Principal Markets: This reportable segment represents the aggregation of our operations in Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain / Portugal, and the United Kingdom / Ireland.

Strategic Markets: This reportable segment is comprised of our operations in all other countries in which we operate.

The measure of segment operating performance used by Kyndryl’s CODM is adjusted EBITDA, which allows our CODM to evaluate operating results excluding certain items whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily correspond to changes in the operations of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization (excluding depreciation of right-of-use assets and amortization of capitalized contract costs), charges related to ceasing to use leased and owned fixed assets, charges related to lease terminations, transaction-related costs and benefits, pension expenses other than pension servicing costs and multi-employer plan costs, stock-based compensation expense, workforce rebalancing charges incurred prior to March 31, 2024, impairment expense, significant litigation costs and benefits, and currency impacts of highly inflationary countries. The CODM reviews revenue and adjusted EBITDA to assess performance and allocate resources to the segments. The Company does not allocate assets to the above reportable segments for our CODM’s review.

Our geographic markets frequently work together to sell and implement certain contracts. The resulting revenues and costs from these contracts may be apportioned among the participating geographic markets. The economic environment and its effects on the industries served by our geographic markets affect revenues and operating expenses within our geographic markets to differing degrees. Currency fluctuations also tend to affect our geographic markets differently, depending on the geographic concentrations and locations of their businesses.

The following tables reflect the results of the Company’s segments:
