Segment Information

Our business comprises two operating segments:

Media & Content: selects, manages, provides lab services and distributes wholly owned and licensed media content, video and music programming, advertising, applications and interactive games to the airline, maritime and other “away from home” non-theatrical markets.

Connectivity: provides customers, including their passengers, crew, remote workers and soldiers, as applicable, with (i) Wi-Fi connectivity via C, Ka and Ku-band satellite and terrestrial wireless transmissions that enable access to the Internet, live television, on-demand content, shopping and travel-related information and (ii) operational solutions that allow customers to improve the management of their internal operations and passenger service delivery.

Our Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s CODM, evaluates financial performance and allocates resources by reviewing revenue, costs of sales and contribution profit separately for our two segments. Total segment gross margin provides the CODM a measure to analyze operating performance of each of the Company’s operating segments and its enterprise value against historical data and competitors’ data. However, historical results may not be indicative of future results because operating performance is highly contingent on many factors, including customer tastes and preferences. All other financial information is reviewed by the CODM on a consolidated basis.
