SEGMENTS - HOLDINGS

The international market and U.S. market are managed as separate reportable segments, with the international segment consisting of operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia and Paraguay. The Company sold its Ecuador subsidiary in September 2023. See Note 7 for a discussion of the sale of our Ecuador subsidiary. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenue. Holdings uses Adjusted EBITDA, as shown in the reconciliation table below, as the primary measure of segment profit and loss to evaluate performance and allocate its resources.

The Company’s chief operating decision makers are the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer (together, the “CODM”). The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA for each segment in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers Adjusted EBITDA with comparisons to budget, forecast and trends when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CODM also uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of each segment and in determining the incentive compensation under its long-term incentive plan and evaluating performance metrics for certain equity awards.

The Company does not report total assets by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance or allocate resources between segments.

The following tables set forth a breakdown of selected financial information by reportable segment for Holdings for the periods presented, and include a reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA:

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
