Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENTS SEGMENTS
The Company manages the business country-by-country to understand and focus on the specific needs and opportunities in those markets. The Company’s chief executive officer is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance and is therefore its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s segments include Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and other countries (which includes Bermuda, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and the U.S.).
The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s operating segments based on their direct contribution. The CODM uses the direct contribution by segment to help with decision-making since it considers all business lines within a country as a whole, taking into account the synergies between the different lines in each of the countries’ integrated digital ecosystems.
Direct contribution consists of net revenues and financial income from external customers less segment costs, which include expenses, such as shipping operation costs (including warehousing costs), carrier and other operating costs, provision for doubtful accounts, cost of goods sold, collection fees, funding cost, salaries and wages, marketing expenses, hosting expenses and artificial intelligence expenses. All corporate related costs have been excluded from the segment’s direct contribution.
The following tables summarize the financial performance of the Company’s reporting segments:
