Segment Information
14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Wyndham Hotels’ primary segment is Hotel Franchising which principally consists of licensing the Company’s lodging brands and providing related services to third-party hotel owners and others. This reportable segment represents the Company’s operating segment for which separate financial information is available and is utilized on a regular basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer. In identifying its reportable segment, the Company also considers the nature of services provided by its
operating segment. The Company’s primary measure of segment profit or loss is net income. The CODM evaluates the operating results of the Company on a consolidated basis based upon net revenues and net income, which is the measure of profit or loss that is most consistent with GAAP measurement principles and is used by the CODM internally to assess operating performance. The CODM also uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating results of its Hotel Franchising reportable segment.
Provided below is the Company’s segment profitability measure and significant segment expenses.
