| Segment Information | (14) Segment Information GCI Liberty’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance and allocates resources based on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, as the converged network requires the CODM to manage and evaluate the results of the business in a consolidated manner to drive efficiencies and develop uniform strategies. Accordingly, key components and processes of the Company’s operations are managed centrally, including capital and new technology development and deployment, customer service, marketing and advertising, legal and government affairs.

As a single reportable segment entity, the Company’s segment performance measure is net earnings (loss).
