Segment Information
The Company's reportable segments are determined based upon its internal organizational structure; the manner in which the Company’s operations are managed; the criteria used by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s CODM, to evaluate segment performance; the availability of separate financial information utilized on a regular basis by the CODM to assess financial performance and to allocate resources; and overall materiality considerations. All significant operating decisions are based on analysis of the Company as a single global business. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has determined it has one operating and reporting segment.
The financial measures which the Company’s CODM uses to evaluate the performance of the Company are revenue and consolidated net income (loss), considering the adjusted cost and expenses as shown in the table below. The CODM also regularly reviews revenue by transaction type – Travel Revenue and Products and Professional Services Revenue (see note 4 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers).
The table below sets forth information about reported segment revenue, significant segment expenses, other segment items and consolidated net income (loss).

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.
