(9)ÌýÌýÌýInformation º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½'s Operating Segments

º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½, through its ownership interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the video and online commerce industries. º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ identifies its reportable segments as (A)Ìýthose operating segments that represent 10% or more of its consolidated annual revenue, annual Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) or total assets and (B)Ìýthose equity method affiliates whose share of earnings represent 10% or more of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½'s annual pre-tax earnings.

The º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ chief operating decision maker primarily evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to its operating segments based on financial measures such as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA. In addition, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ reviews nonfinancial measures such as unique website visitors, number of units shipped, conversion rates and active customers, as appropriate.

For the three months ended MarchÌý31, 2022, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ has identified the following operating segments as its reportable segments:

â— QxH - ÌýQVC U.S. and HSN market and sell a wide variety of consumer products in the United States, primarily by means of their televised shopping programs and via the Internet through their websites and mobile applications.
◠QVC International – QVC International markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in several foreign countries, primarily by means of its televised shopping programs and via the Internet through its international websites and mobile applications.
◠Zulily – Zulily markets and sells a wide variety of consumer products in the United States and several foreign countries through flash sales events, primarily through its app, mobile and desktop experiences.

º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½'s operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment requires different technologies, distribution channels and marketing strategies. ÌýThe accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company's Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2021 10-K.

For segment reporting purposes, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ defines Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less cost of goods sold, operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses excluding stock-based compensation and, where applicable, separately identified items impacting comparability. º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ believes this measure is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses by identifying those items that are not directly a reflection of each business’ performance or indicative of ongoing business trends. In addition, this measure allows management to view operating results and perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between businesses and identify strategies to improve performance. This measure of performance excludes depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and where applicable, separately identified impairments, litigation settlements, restructuring, acquisition-related costs and fire related costs, net (including Rocky Mount inventory losses), that are included in the measurement of operating income (loss) pursuant to GAAP. Accordingly, Adjusted OIBDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net earnings (loss), cash flows provided by operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current prices.

Adjusted OIBDA is summarized as follows:
