Geographic Information

The Company operates with one reportable segment whose results are regularly reviewed by the Company's CEO, its chief operating decision maker as to operating performance and the allocation of resources. External customer revenues in the tables below were attributed to a particular country based on whether the customer had a direct contract with the Company which was executed in that particular country for the sale of the Company's products/services with an Ebix subsidiary located in that country.

During 2016 the change in foreign currency exchange rates decreased reported Australian and Latin America operating revenues by $(410) thousand and $(300) thousand, respectively. India's 2016 operating revenues increased $10.6 million or 300% due primarily to the various new e-governance contracts with a number of large clients. Europe's revenues increased $8.8 million, net of $(2.2) million decrease due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, due primarily to the execution and commencement of certain significant contracts.

The following enterprise wide information relates to the Company's geographic locations (all amounts in thousands):

In the geographical information table above the significant changes to long-lived assets from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 are explained as follows: the U.S. increase of $11.3 million is primarily comprised of a $14.6 million net increase due to the consolidation of the EbixHealth JV commensurate with the step up in ownership to 51%, partially offset by a $(4.7) million decrease of  intangibles due to amortization; the Latin America increase of $17.7 million is due to the Wdev acquisition (for which the valuation and purchase accounting is preliminary); the Singapore decrease of $51.4 million and the Dubai increase of $54.2 million are due to the transfer of certain intangible assets between these locations (net of deferred taxes); the India increase of $8.4 million is primarily due an increase in deferred tax assets of $4.8 million associated with the payments and accruals of Minimum Alternative Tax, and $3.5 million of fixed assets additions associated with the continued build out of our product development facilities, and the growth of the Ebix-Vayam JV; the Europe decrease of $6.3 million is primarily due to a 16.6% weakening of British Pound Sterling versus the U.S. Dollar which caused a $4.3 million decrease in the translation of long-lived assets, partially offset by the amortization of intangible assets and capitalized software development costs.
