Effective August 1, 2025, we combined our Consumer, Credit Karma, and ProTax businesses into a single Consumer segment in order to better serve the diverse financial needs of our customers as one consumer platform. Our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses segment performance using regularly provided segment revenue and segment operating income information under this updated segment structure. To align results under this segment change, certain selling and marketing, product development, and general and administrative expenses for Credit Karma that were managed at the segment level are now managed at the platform level and are included in other corporate expenses rather than in segment expenses. Also on August 1, 2025, we reorganized certain marketing, communications, and customer success functions in our Global Business Solutions segment that support and benefit our overall platform and are managed at that level rather than at the segment level. Additionally, certain data science and analytics teams that were managed at the platform level are now managed at the segment level. We have recast certain previously reported amounts to conform to these segment changes. For the three months ended October 31, 2024, we reclassified expenses totaling $3 million from Global Business Solutions and $152 million from Consumer to other corporate expenses, respectively, to conform to the current presentation. See Note 12,"Segment Information," for more information.
