14 Segment reporting
The Group has presented six reportable operating segments which are financial services, resources
and energy, manufacturing, engineering contracting, real estate and others. Reportable segments are
identified based on operating segments which are determined based on the structure of the Group’s
internal organisation, management requirements and internal reporting system. An operating segment is
a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur
expenses, whose financial performance is regularly reviewed by the board of directors to make decisions
about resource to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which financial
information regarding financial position, financial performance and cash flows is available. The details of
these six reportable segments are as follows:
– Financial services: this segment includes banking, trust, asset management, securities and insurance
services.
– Resources and energy: the major businesses in this segment include exploration, processing and
trading of resources and energy products, including crude oil, coal and iron ore.
– Manufacturing: this segment includes manufacturing of special steels, heavy machineries, aluminum
wheels and other products.
– Engineering contracting: this segment provides contracting and design services for infrastructure,
real estate and industrial projects, etc.
– Real estate: this segment includes development, sale and holding of properties.
– Others: others include various businesses including investment and operation of infrastructures,
telecommunication services, motor and food and consumer products business, commercial aviation
services, publication services and others.
(a) Segment results, assets and liabilities
For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources among segments, the
board of directors monitors the results, assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment
on the following bases:
Segment assets are those assets that are attributable to a segment, and segment liabilities are those
liabilities that are attributable to a segment.
Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to revenue generated
by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the
depreciation of assets attributable to those segments.
The measure used for reporting segment profit is “profit for the period”. To arrive at segment results,
the Group’s profit is further adjusted for items not specially attributed to individual segments, such as
share of results of associates and joint ventures.
Inter-segment pricing is based on similar terms as those available to other external parties.
