International Financial Reporting Standard 8 Operating Segments (IFRS 8) is set out in paragraphs 1⁠–⁠37 and Appendices A and B. All the paragraphs have equal authority. Paragraphs in bold type state the main principles. Definitions of terms are given in the Glossary for International Financial Reporting Standards. IFRS 8 should be read in the context of its core principle and the Basis for Conclusions, the Preface to IFRS Standards and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors provides a basis for selecting and applying accounting policies in the absence of explicit guidance. [Refer:IAS 8 paragraphs 10⁠–⁠12]

International Financial Reporting Standard 8Operating Segments

Core principle

1

An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it operates.

Scope

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC18⁠–⁠BC23]

2

This IFRS shall apply to:

(a)

the separate or individual financial statements of an entity:

(i)

whose debt or equity instruments are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over‑the‑counter market, including local and regional markets), or

(ii)

that files, or is in the process of filing, its financial statements with a securities commission or other regulatory organisation for the purpose of issuing any class of instruments in a public market; and

(b)

the consolidated financial statements of a group with a parent:

(i)

whose debt or equity instruments are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over‑the‑counter market, including local and regional markets), or

(ii)

that files, or is in the process of filing, the consolidated financial statements with a securities commission or other regulatory organisation for the purpose of issuing any class of instruments in a public market.

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraph BC23]

3

If an entity that is not required to apply this IFRS chooses to disclose information about segments that does not comply with this IFRS, it shall not describe the information as segment information.

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraph BC22]

4

If a financial report contains both the consolidated financial statements of a parent that is within the scope of this IFRS as well as the parent’s separate financial statements, segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements.

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraph BC21]

Operating segments

5

An operating segment is a component of an entity:

(a)

that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity),

(b)

whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker [Refer:paragraph 7] to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and

(c)

for which discrete financial information is available.

An operating segment may engage in business activities for which it has yet to earn revenues, for example, start‑up operations may be operating segments before earning revenues.

6

Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment. For example, a corporate headquarters or some functional departments may not earn revenues or may earn revenues that are only incidental to the activities of the entity and would not be operating segments. For the purposes of this IFRS, an entity’s post‑employment benefit plans are not operating segments.

7

The term ‘chief operating decision maker’ identifies a function, not necessarily a manager with a specific title. That function is to allocate resources to and assess the performance of the operating segments of an entity. Often the chief operating decision maker of an entity is its chief executive officer or chief operating officer but, for example, it may be a group of executive directors or others.

8

For many entities, the three characteristics of operating segments described in paragraph 5 clearly identify its operating segments. However, an entity may produce reports in which its business activities are presented in a variety of ways. If the chief operating decision maker uses more than one set of segment information, other factors may identify a single set of components as constituting an entity’s operating segments, including the nature of the business activities of each component, the existence of managers responsible for them, and information presented to the board of directors.

9

Generally, an operating segment has a segment manager who is directly accountable to and maintains regular contact with the chief operating decision maker to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment. The term ‘segment manager’ identifies a function, not necessarily a manager with a specific title. The chief operating decision maker [Refer:paragraph 7] also may be the segment manager for some operating segments. A single manager may be the segment manager for more than one operating segment. If the characteristics in paragraph 5 apply to more than one set of components of an organisation but there is only one set for which segment managers are held responsible, that set of components constitutes the operating segments.

10

The characteristics in paragraph 5 may apply to two or more overlapping sets of components for which managers are held responsible. That structure is sometimes referred to as a matrix form of organisation. For example, in some entities, some managers are responsible for different product and service lines worldwide, whereas other managers are responsible for specific geographical areas. The chief operating decision maker [Refer:paragraph 7] regularly reviews the operating results of both sets of components, and financial information is available for both. In that situation, the entity shall determine which set of components constitutes the operating segments by reference to the core principle [Refer:paragraph 1].

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraph BC27]

Reportable segments

[Refer:

Implementation Guidance paragraph IG7

FASB’s Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraphs 71 and 72]

11

An entity shall report separately information about each operating segment that:

(a)

has been identified in accordance with paragraphs 5⁠–⁠10 or results from aggregating two or more of those segments in accordance with paragraph 12, and

(b)

exceeds the quantitative thresholds in paragraph 13.

Paragraphs 14⁠–⁠19 specify other situations in which separate information about an operating segment shall be reported.

Aggregation criteria

[Refer:

Basis for Conclusions paragraph BC30

FASB’s Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraphs 73 and 74]

12

Operating segments [Refer:paragraphs 5⁠–⁠10] often exhibit similar long‑term financial performance if they have similar economic characteristics. For example, similar long‑term average gross margins for two operating segments would be expected if their economic characteristics were similar. Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if aggregation is consistent with the core principle of this IFRS, [Refer:paragraph 1] the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in each of the following respects:

(a)

the nature of the products and services;

(b)

the nature of the production processes;

(c)

the type or class of customer for their products and services;

(d)

the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and

(e)

if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment, for example, banking, insurance or public utilities.

Quantitative thresholds

[Refer:

Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC28⁠–⁠BC30

Implementation Guidance paragraph IG7

FASB’s Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraphs 75⁠–⁠78]

13

An entity shall report separately information about an operating segment [Refer:paragraphs 5⁠–⁠10] that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds:

(a)

Its reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, is 10 per cent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.

(b)

The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 per cent or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of (i) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss and (ii) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss.

(c)

Its assets are 10 per cent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

[Refer:FASB’s Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraph 76]

Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be considered reportable, and separately disclosed, if management believes that information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.

14

An entity may combine information about operating segments [Refer:paragraphs 5⁠–⁠10] that do not meet the quantitative thresholds with information about other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds to produce a reportable segment only if the operating segments have similar economic characteristics and share a majority of the aggregation criteria listed in paragraph 12.

[Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC31⁠–⁠BC33]

15

If the total external revenue reported by operating segments [Refer:paragraphs 5⁠–⁠10] constitutes less than 75 per cent of the entity’s revenue, additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the criteria in paragraph 13) until at least 75 per cent of the entity’s revenue is included in reportable segments.

[Refer:

Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC31⁠–⁠BC33

FASB’s Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraph 76]

16

Information about other business activities and operating segments [Refer:paragraphs 5⁠–⁠10] that are not reportable shall be combined and disclosed in an ‘all other segments’ category separately from other reconciling items in the reconciliations required by paragraph 28. The sources of the revenue included in the ‘all other segments’ category shall be described.

All other segments [member] Disclosure IFRS 15.115 Disclosure 831150, 871100
Description of sources of revenue for all other segments Disclosure Text 871100

17

If management judges that an operating segment [Refer:paragraphs 5⁠–⁠10] identified as a reportable segment in the immediately preceding period is of continuing significance, information about that segment shall continue to be reported separately in the current period even if it no longer meets the criteria for reportability in paragraph 13.

18

If an operating segment [Refer:paragraphs 5⁠–⁠10] is identified as a reportable segment in the current period in accordance with the quantitative thresholds, [Refer:paragraph 13] segment data for a prior period presented for comparative purposes shall be restated to reflect the newly reportable segment as a separate segment, even if that segment did not satisfy the criteria for reportability in paragraph 13 in the prior period, unless the necessary information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive.

19

There may be a practical limit to the number of reportable segments that an entity separately discloses beyond which segment information may become too detailed. Although no precise limit has been determined, as the number of segments that are reportable in accordance with paragraphs 13⁠–⁠18 increases above ten, the entity should consider whether a practical limit has been reached.

Measurement

[Refer:  Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC24⁠–⁠BC26 FASB’s Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraphs 81⁠–⁠91]

25

The amount of each segment item reported shall be the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker [Refer:paragraph 7] for the purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. Adjustments and eliminations made in preparing an entity’s financial statements and allocations of revenues, expenses, and gains or losses shall be included in determining reported segment profit or loss only if they are included in the measure of the segment’s profit or loss that is used by the chief operating decision maker. Similarly, only those assets and liabilities that are included in the measures of the segment’s assets and segment’s liabilities that are used by the chief operating decision maker shall be reported for that segment. If amounts are allocated to reported segment profit or loss, assets or liabilities, those amounts shall be allocated on a reasonable basis.

26

If the chief operating decision maker [Refer:paragraph 7] uses only one measure of an operating segment’s profit or loss, the segment’s assets or the segment’s liabilities in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, segment profit or loss, assets and liabilities shall be reported at those measures. If the chief operating decision maker uses more than one measure of an operating segment’s profit or loss, the segment’s assets or the segment’s liabilities, the reported measures shall be those that management believes are determined in accordance with the measurement principles most consistent with those used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the entity’s financial statements.

27

An entity shall provide an explanation of the measurements of segment profit or loss, segment assets and segment liabilities for each reportable segment. [Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraph BC25] At a minimum, an entity shall disclose the following:

(a)

the basis of accounting for any transactions between reportable segments.

Restatement of previously reported information

[Refer:FASB’s Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraph 100]

29

If an entity changes the structure of its internal organisation in a manner that causes the composition of its reportable segments [Refer:paragraphs 11⁠–⁠19] to change, the corresponding information for earlier periods, including interim periods, shall be restated unless the information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive. The determination of whether the information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive shall be made for each individual item of disclosure. Following a change in the composition of its reportable segments, an entity shall disclose whether it has restated the corresponding items of segment information for earlier periods.

30

If an entity has changed the structure of its internal organisation in a manner that causes the composition of its reportable segments [Refer:paragraphs 11⁠–⁠19] to change and if segment information for earlier periods, including interim periods, is not restated to reflect the change, the entity shall disclose in the year in which the change occurs segment information for the current period on both the old basis and the new basis of segmentation, unless the necessary information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive.

Entity‑wide disclosures

31

Paragraphs 32⁠–⁠34 apply to all entities subject to this IFRS including those entities that have a single reportable segment [Refer:paragraphs 11⁠–⁠19]. Some entities’ business activities are not organised on the basis of differences in related products and services or differences in geographical areas of operations. Such an entity’s reportable segments may report revenues from a broad range of essentially different products and services, or more than one of its reportable segments may provide essentially the same products and services. Similarly, an entity’s reportable segments may hold assets in different geographical areas and report revenues from customers in different geographical areas, or more than one of its reportable segments may operate in the same geographical area. Information required by paragraphs 32⁠–⁠34 shall be provided only if it is not provided as part of the reportable segment information required by this IFRS.

[Refer:FASB’s Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraphs 101 and 102]

Information about products and services

[Refer:FASB’s Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraph 103]

32

An entity shall report the revenues from external customers for each product and service, or each group of similar products and services, unless the necessary information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive [Refer:Basis for Conclusions paragraphs BC46 and BC47], in which case that fact shall be disclosed. The amounts of revenues reported shall be based on the financial information used to produce the entity’s financial statements.

Information about major customers

34

An entity shall provide information about the extent of its reliance on its major customers. If revenues from transactions with a single external customer amount to 10 per cent or more of an entity’s revenues, [Refer:FASB's Basis for Conclusions on SFAS 131 paragraph 108] the entity shall disclose that fact, the total amount of revenues from each such customer, and the identity of the segment or segments reporting the revenues. The entity need not disclose the identity of a major customer or the amount of revenues that each segment reports from that customer. For the purposes of this IFRS, a group of entities known to a reporting entity to be under common control shall be considered a single customer. However, judgement is required to assess whether a government (including government agencies and similar bodies whether local, national or international) and entities known to the reporting entity to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer. In assessing this, the reporting entity shall consider the extent of economic integration between those entities.
