Segment Information

We prepare our financial reports and analyze our business results within our four operating segments: Resources, Transportation, CMS, and Financial Services. The Financial Services segment consists entirely of the legacy Markit business. We evaluate revenue performance at the segment level and also by transaction type. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015. There are no material inter-segment revenues for any period presented.

We evaluate segment operating performance at the Adjusted EBITDA level for each of our four segments. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before net interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation cost, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs, exceptional litigation, net other gains and losses, pension mark-to-market and settlement expense, the impact of joint ventures and noncontrolling interests, and discontinued operations. Information about the operations of our four segments is set forth below (in millions).
