Segment reporting is drawn up for the Group’s lines of business and geographic areas. The Group’s internal reporting system is based on follow-up of the return on the Group’s goods and services, which makes lines of business the primary basis of division. The segments’ results, assets and liabilities are included in directly attributable items, as well as items that can be allocated to the segments in a reasonable and reliable manner. The segments’ investments in non-current assets include all capital expenditure, i.e. in intangible as well as tangible assets. Assets added as a result of acquisitions are not included in the investment value. Amortisation of Group surplus values is included, however. The segment reporting does not include receivables and liabilities relating to taxes or intra-Group transactions.
Lines of business

- Division Electronics: Sells special components and solutions in electronics.
- Division Mechatronics: Conducts niche production of cable harnesses, electric connection systems and similar products.

Geographic areas
Geographic areas constitute the Group’s secondary segment. Information presented about assets of the segments and the period’s capital expenditures in tangible and intangible non-current assets is based on geographic areas grouped according to where the assets are located.
