15. Segment Information

Adient manages its business on a geographic basis and operates in the following three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: (i) Americas, which is inclusive of North America and South America; (ii) Europe, Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA"); and (iii) Asia Pacific/China ("Asia").

Adient evaluates the performance of its reportable segments using an adjusted EBITDA metric defined as income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests, excluding net financing charges, restructuring and impairment costs, restructuring related-costs, net mark-to-market adjustments on pension and postretirement plans, transaction gains/losses, purchase accounting amortization, depreciation, stock-based compensation and other non-recurring items ("Adjusted EBITDA"). Also, certain corporate-related costs are not allocated to the segments. The reportable segments are consistent with how management views the markets served by Adient and reflect the financial information that is reviewed by its chief operating decision maker.
The following table summarizes net sales and adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
