the financial performance of the Group and
the divisions in Management's commentary.
2.1 Segment information
Accounting policies
Operating segments are defined by the operational and management
structure of DSV, which is derived from the types of services we deliver
and our geographical presence on the world market. As such, our operat-
ing segments reflect our divisional and Group reporting used for manage-
ment decision-making.
Operating segments
Our business operations are carried out by three divisions, forming the
basis of our segment reporting.
Air & Sea
The Air & Sea division provides air and sea freight services across the
globe. This includes a projects department, handling out of gauge cargo
and special transportation projects.
Road
The Road division provides road freight services across Europe, Middle
East, North America and South Africa.
Solutions
The Solutions division offers contract logistics services, incl. warehousing
and inventory management, across the globe.
Measurement of earnings by segment
Our business segments are measured and reported down to operating
profit before special items. Segment results are accounted for in the same
way as in the consolidated financial statements.
Segment income/expenses and assets/liabilities comprise the items
directly attributable to the individual segment as well as the items that
may be allocated to the individual segment on a reliable basis.
Income and expenses relating to Group functions, investing activities,
etc., are managed at Group level. These items are not included in the
statement of segment information, but are presented under 'non-
allocated items and eliminations'.
Financial position of business segments
Assets and liabilities are included in the segmental reporting to the extent
they are used for the operation of the segment.
Assets and liabilities that cannot be attributed to any of the three seg-
ments on a reliable basis are presented under 'non-allocated items and
eliminations'.
Geographical information
DSV operates in most parts of the world and has activities in more than
80 countries, which are divided into the following geographical regions:
.
EMEA: Europe, Middle East and Africa
Americas: North and South America
APAC: Asia, Australia and the Pacific
Revenue and non-current assets are allocated to the geographical areas
according to the country in which the individual consolidated entity is
based. Refer to note 2.2 for regional segmentation of revenue. The cor-
porate headquarter of DSV is located in Denmark, which is included in the
EMEA segment. Our business is based on transactions in our global net-
work rather than in individual countries or regions.
Intersegment transactions are made on an arm's length basis.
Major customers
DSV is not reliant on any major customers. No single customer exceeds
5% of combined Group revenue.View entire presentation
