3. Segment analysis
The Group has a single group of related services and products, being the supply of communications services and products. Segment information is provided on the
basis of geographic areas, being the basis on which the Group manages its world wide interests. Revenue is attributed to a country or region based on the location of
the Group company reporting the revenue. Inter-segment sales are charged at arms length prices. The Group uses adjusted operating profit for internal performance
analysis and, therefore, the Group’s measure of segment profit is adjusted operating profit, being operating profit excluding non-operating income of associates,
impairment losses and other income and expense.
During the year ended 31 March 2008, the Group early adopted IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”. The Group also changed its organisation structure such that the Group’s
associated undertaking in France, SFR, is now managed within the Europe region and reported within Other Europe. As a result, prior period disclosures have been
amended to conform to the current year presentation.
