Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and is used in resource allocation and performance assessments. The Company has identified two operating and reportable segments - Passenger and Medical, as our Chief Executive Officer, who is our CODM, regularly reviews discrete information for those two reportable segments.

The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances and year-over-year changes in Adjusted EBITDA when making resource allocation decisions across our segments. Adjusted EBITDA reflects the operational efficiency and core results of our segment, independent of tax implications and non-operational financial factors. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss adjusted to exclude (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) stock-based compensation, (3) change in fair value of warrant liabilities, (4) interest income and expense, (5) income tax, (6) realized gains and losses on short-term investments, (7) impairment of intangible assets and (8) certain other non-recurring items (shown below) that management does not believe are indicative of ongoing Company operating performance and would impact the comparability of results between periods. The Company does not allocate assets at the reportable segment level as these are managed on an entity wide group basis and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segments.

The following tables reflect certain financial data of the Company’s reportable segments and includes the reconciliation to loss before income taxes.
Prior period segment results have been recast to reflect the updated methodology to ensure comparability. Refer to the discussion above for further detail.
