Corporate and Other segment revenues. Corporate and Other segment revenues decreased $5.7 million to $0.3 million from $6.0 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter, primarily driven by lower revenue generated by Salus as a result of the continued run-off of the remaining outstanding amount of Salus loans primarily attributable to paydowns on existing loans and a lack of new loan originations by Salus, coupled with the effect of the Company’s sale of its ownership interest in CorAmerica Capital, LLC (“CorAmerica”) and the wind-down of the operations of Energy & Infrastructure Capital, LLC (“EIC”).

Corporate
Selling, acquisition, operating and general expenses increased $0.9 million to $15.5 million for the Fiscal 2017 Quarter from $14.6 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter. The increase was primarily due to severance costs related to headcount reduction, partially offset by a decrease in bonus and stock-based compensation.
Asset Management Operating and General Expenses
Selling, acquisition, operating and general expenses decreased $10.1 million to $5.0 million for the Fiscal 2017 Quarter from $15.1 million for the Fiscal 2016 Quarter. The decrease in selling, acquisition, operating and general expenses reflect lower impairments and loan loss provision expenses on the asset-based loan portfolio, coupled with the effects of the continued run-off of the Salus portfolio, the Company’s sale of its ownership interest in CorAmerica, and the wind-down of operations of EIC.

Non-GAAP Measurements
Adjusted EBITDA — Consumer Products
Adjusted EBITDA — Consumer Products is a non-GAAP financial measure used by Spectrum Brands and one of the measures used for determining Spectrum Brands’ debt covenant compliance. We believe that certain financial measures that are not prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) provides useful information to investors because it reflects ongoing operating performance and trends, excluding certain non-cash based expenses and/or non-recurring items during each of the comparable periods and facilitates comparisons between peer companies since interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies.
EBITDA is calculated by excluding income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from our Consumer Products segment’s net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes: (1) stock-based compensation expense as it is a non-cash based compensation cost; (2) acquisition and integration charges that consist of transaction costs from acquisition transactions during the period or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with the acquired business; (3) restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives; and (4) other adjustments. During the Fiscal 2017 Quarter, other adjustments consisted of costs associated with the exiting of a key executive, coupled with onboarding a key executive at Spectrum Brands.
While management believes that non-GAAP measurements are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace the Company’s GAAP financial results or the GAAP financial results of our Consumer Products segment.
