(2)During the first quarter of 2021, we revised the calculation of segment profit (loss) and adjusted EBITDA by excluding amortization of capitalized software development costs to enhance comparability of our financial metrics with peer companies. See the Revised Segment Profit Summary and Revised Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation for additional information. Amortization of capitalized software development costs excluded from adjusted EBITDA is $10.0 million, which is comprised of $9.0 million and $1.0 million for the Medicare segment and the Individual, Family and Small Business segment, respectively.
(3)Segment profit (loss) is calculated as revenue for the applicable segment less marketing and advertising, customer care and enrollment, technology and content and general and administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and reorganization charges, and amortization of intangible assets, that are directly attributable to the applicable segment and other indirect marketing and advertising, customer care and enrollment and technology and content operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and reorganization charges, and amortization of intangible assets, allocated to the applicable segment based on usage.
(4)Corporate consists of other indirect general and administrative operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense, which are managed in a corporate shared services environment and, since they are not the responsibility of segment operating management, are not allocated to the reportable segments.
