Change in Presentation of Reportable Segments
On October 5, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of DigitalGlobe ("DigitalGlobe Transaction"). Subsequent to closing the DigitalGlobe Transaction, in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company changed its financial reporting segments to better align with its combined product and services offerings. Beginning with first quarter of 2018, the company changed its reporting of revenue and EBITDA to include both items on a gross basis at the segment level and net of eliminations basis for the corporation. These changes provide investors with increased transparency and allow for easier comparisons with the Company's industry peer group. The Company reports revenue and adjusted EBITDA based on three reportable segments: Space Systems, Imagery and Services. Comparative data for the second quarter of 2017 is provided for completeness and is based on actual financial results for standalone MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd.
