GROUP SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

for the year ended 30 June 2011

Segment information

Operating segments reflect the management structure of the group and the manner in which performance is evaluated and resources allocated as managed by the group’s chief operating decision maker, defined as the executive committee members (exco) of the group.

These operating segments are defined as

  Operating segment Revenue source
     Investments and Concessions  
      – Infrastructure Concessions
Equipment supply, operations and maintenance revenue in concession contract developments in the transport, power and real estate sectors
      – Property Developments
Rental and development sales of A-grade Group Five branded property assets generating development and investment returns
  Manufacturing
Manufacture and sale of fibre cement products – exterior and interior walling, ceiling boards, roof tiles and pipes, fibre cement-clad, steel-framed modular housing systems
Manufacture and sale of steel products, including scaffolding, formwork and steel reinforcing for use in concrete structures, fabricated steel structures and large bore steel pipes
     Construction Materials
Supplier of high-specification materials used in the construction supply chain, including aggregates, readymix concrete and mining services
     Construction  
      – Buidling and Housing
Building and housing contractor for large real estate and related infrastructure contracts
      – Civil Engineering
Civil engineering contractor for roads, ports, airports, pipelines and large structures in the mining and industrial sectors
      – Engineering
Engineering projects contractor for structural, mechanical, piping and electrical engineering, as well as complete plant construction solutions
Multi-disciplinary project delivery from feasibility through to supporting bankability and front-end design, as well as project management of contracts during execution to completion
Industrial services contractor

The group is focused by discipline and each discipline is lead by an executive committee member.

The role of exco is to drive the strategic intent of the group per segment. The executive committee members meet monthly to review the group’s performance. Of primary focus to exco is the revenue, operating profit, capital expenditure and current assets per segment. Exco assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of adjusted operating profit before fair value adjustments and impairments. This measurement basis excludes the effects of non-operational income and expenditure from the operating segments such as pension fund valuation assets and deficits and profit or losses on sale of subsidiaries. Gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment as well as investment property are not adjusted as these are deemed to be in the segments’ core operational control. The adjusted operating profit does not include any impairment adjustments. As exco reviews adjusted operating profit the results of discontinued operations are not included in the measure of
adjusted operating profit before fair value adjustments and impairments.

Management do not believe that there are any additional segments that are required to be separately reported.

The reportable operating segments derive their revenue as described above.

The group is also considered by geographical segment due to the extensive geographic footprint maintained by the group. The geographies are grouped into regions for reporting purposes as the group moves towards establishing operational hubs for management of regions.

The segmental information presented below includes the reconciliation of IFRS measures presented on the face of the income statement to non-IFRS measures which are used by management to analyse the group’s performance.
