28 Segment reporting
For management purposes, SoftwareONE is organized by geographical areas. The following regional clusters are the group’s operating segments:
- EMEA (Europe and South Africa);
- NORAM (US, Canada);
- LATAM (Latin America);
- APAC (Asia Pacific, including India and Dubai).
No operating segments have been aggregated to reportable segments.
The Executive Board (CEO, CFO, COO, President of Sales and President of Services) is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and assesses each of the reported segments separately for the purpose of evaluating performance and allocating resources. Gross profit and EBITDA are the key performance indicators used for internal management and monitoring purposes of the group and are reported as segment results. The group allocates revenue and expenses to regions based on the customer’s headquarter domicile since the region is responsible for the global client relationship. There are no intersegment revenues. Different average exchange rates are used in management reporting than for group consolidation purposes.
The group’s financing (including finance income and finance costs) and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to the operating segments.
The segment totals are reconciled to the figures reported in the consolidated income statement (column 'Total') as follows:
The column 'Corporate' includes the group cost centers such as management and shared service costs. The column ‘FX & Consolidation’ eliminates the effect of using different average foreign exchange rates in the segment reporting and consolidation effects. The column 'Other' includes other reconciling items that are not allocated to the segments and corporate in internal reporting such as share-based payment plans (with the exception of LTIP and ESPP), earn-outs and integration costs as well as differences in accounting policies of IFRS 16 which are not reflected in the segment reporting. Additionally, the column 'Other' includes a reclassification of bad debt provisions which are presented in gross profit in the internal reporting but in operating expenses in the consolidated income statement.
