| Segment reporting | Segment reporting The Group has operations in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) regions, with a significant presence in the U.S., Australia and Belgium. Reportable segments The Group’s operating segments are based on the reports reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker. Segment performance is evaluated based on Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of the remeasurement of contingent consideration and government grant liabilities and other gains/(losses) which may have an impact on the quality of earnings such as impairments where the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring event. Interest income and finance costs are not allocated to segments as this activity is managed by a central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the Group. Segment assets and liabilities are measured in the same way as in the financial statements. The assets and liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment.
Reconciling items include head office and centrally managed costs. 3.1. Segment performance
