Change of reporting applies to the presentation of financial statement information and does not affect the Group's earnings or financial position. The standard requires that segment information be presented on the basis of internal reporting provided to management. Elisa's internal organizational and management structure is based on a customer-oriented operating model. The new operating segments to be presented are Consumer Customers and Corporate Customers. The Consumer Customer segment provides consumers and households with telecommunications services, such as voice and data services. The Corporate Customers segment provides to the corporate and community customers voice and data services, ICT solutions and contact center services. The segments are controlled by the segment-specific performance reporting that includes external revenue, EBITDA, EBIT and investments. Financial items, share of associated companies' profit and income taxes are not allocated to operating segments. The costs of production and support functions are allocated to operating segments on the matching principle. Operations in Estonia are divided into the Consumer Customers and Corporate Customers operating segments on the basis of customer accounts. Segment assets consist of intangible and tangible assets, inventories, trade and other receivables. Deferred taxes, investments in associated companies, available for sale investments, interest-bearing receivables, financial items and income tax receivables are not included in segment assets. Management reporting does not include segment liabilities. The reporting used as the basis for segment information complies with the Group's accounting principles. The principles are described under"Accounting principles" in the 2008 financial statements.
