SEGMENT REPORTING
NOTE 3—SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has aggregated its operating segments into the following reportable segments: playGAMES and playAWARDS, which represent our different products and services. A detailed discussion regarding the products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenue is included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 14, 2025 and amended on Form 10-K/A filed on April 4, 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA ("AEBITDA") is the Company’s reportable segment GAAP measure, which management utilizes as the primary profit measure for its reportable segments and underlying operating segments. AEBITDA is a measure defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and related costs (consisting primarily of severance and other restructuring related costs), stock-based compensation expense, and other income and expense items (including special infrequent items, foreign currency gains and losses, and other non-cash items).
Expenses include indirect costs that are allocated to operating segments based on a reasonable allocation methodology, which are generally related to sales and marketing activities, general and administrative overhead, and costs associated with administering the playAWARDS myVIP program in the playGAMES applications. Net revenue excludes transactions between the Company's operating segments. Certain expenses incurred by playAWARDS have been allocated to playGAMES at cost. The chief operating decision maker does not evaluate operating segments using asset information.
The following table presents the Company’s segment information:

Reorganization
On October 29, 2024, the Company initiated an internal reorganization plan (the “2024 Reorganization Plan”) which is intended to enhance efficiency and reduce operating expenses. The 2024 Reorganization Plan included a reduction of the Company’s total global workforce by approximately 30 percent, which was substantially completed by the end of the 2024 fiscal year.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $2.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million of liabilities associated with the Company's reorganization plan in the playGAMES, playAWARDS, and Corporate and other reportable segments, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Company paid most of these liabilities with an immaterial amount remaining unpaid as of September 30, 2025.
