What does consumer — total adjusted EBITDA mean?

This metric represents the total adjusted EBITDA for the consumer segment, often used interchangeably with segment-specific EBITDA to measure core operational performance. It excludes non-cash charges like depreciation and amortization, as well as specific non-recurring items, to provide a normalized view of profitability. It is essential for assessing the segment's ability to fund its own operations and contribute to corporate cash flow.
