___________________
(1) 
Horseshoe Baltimore is 41% owned, and was deconsolidated and held as an equity-method investment effective August 31, 2017.
(2) 
These properties were not consolidated with CEC prior to the Effective Date.
We revised our presentation from two reportable segments to the three listed above as of the Effective Date, in conjunction with the CAC Merger and CEOC’s emergence from bankruptcy, because the way in which Caesars management assesses results and allocates resources is aligned in accordance with these segments. When CEOC filed for reorganization, we concluded that CEOC was a VIE and that we were not the primary beneficiary; therefore, we no longer consolidated CEOC. After the Effective Date, CEOC LLC’s results are consolidated with CEC.
The results of each reportable segment presented below are consistent with the way management assesses these results and allocates resources, which is a consolidated view that adjusts for the effect of certain transactions between reportable segments within Caesars, as described below.
“All Other” includes managed, international and other properties as well as parent, consolidating, and other adjustments to reconcile to consolidated Caesars results.

Adjusted EBITDA - by Segment
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a measure of the Company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as revenues less operating expenses and is comprised of net income/(loss) before (i) interest expense, net of interest capitalized and interest income, (ii) income tax (benefit)/provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) corporate expenses, and (v) certain items that we do not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance at an operating property level.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA you should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or unexpected items.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income/(loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies within the industry. Adjusted EBITDA is included because management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure performance and allocate resources, and believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with additional information consistent with that used by management.
