10 Segment reporting
For management purposes, SoftwareOne is organised by geographical areas. The following regional clusters are the group’s operating segments:
- DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland)
- rEMEA (Rest of Europe, including Mauritius and South Africa)
- NORAM (USA, Canada)
- LATAM (Latin America)
- APAC (Asia Pacific, including Dubai and Qatar)
No operating segments have been aggregated to reportable segments.
The CEO is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). He assesses each of the reported segments separately for the purpose of evaluating performance and allocating resources. Revenue from Software & Cloud Marketplace, revenue from Software & Cloud Services, contribution margin 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 end 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 segment reporting presents a breakdown of revenue from Software & Cloud Marketplace and Software & Cloud Services, directly attributable delivery costs, and indirectly attributable selling, general and administrative costs (“SG&A”). The group’s financing (including finance income and finance expenses) 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 “Group” includes the group cost centres and shared services costs. The column “FX & Consolidation” eliminates the effect of using differing 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 group in internal reporting. They consist of costs affecting comparability in operating expenses such as M&A and earn-out expenses, integration expenses related to the Crayon acquisition, restructuring expenses for the cost reduction program, other non-recurring items which mainly relate to expenses for the strategic review and income from the release of provisions and an adjustment for the upfront recognition of multi-year licensing contracts in which the end customer has the right to change the software reseller during the contract term. Additionally, the column “Other” includes an adjustment for differences in accounting policies of IFRS 16 that are not reflected in the segments, an allocation of internal delivery costs to transition from the internal to the external reporting structure and, to a limited extent, minor reconciliation items.

Additional information for business lines
Even if the regions are the operating segments, SoftwareOne internally also reports total revenue, contribution margin and EBITDA by business lines "Software & Cloud Marketplace", "Software & Cloud Services" and "Corporate", which includes non-operational group costs, to the CODM.
The business line view presents a breakdown of total revenue, directly attributable external and internal delivery costs and indirectly attributable selling, general and administrative costs.
The column "Adjustments" includes adjustments for items affecting comparability in operating expenses. In contrast to the segment reporting, the IFRS 16 adjustment and minor reconciliation items are allocated to the business lines "Software & Cloud Marketplace" and "Software & Cloud Services".
