The Segments
As announced as part of the Roadmap to Value capital markets programme, segment reporting was restructured beginning of the year 2008.
The SERVICES segment was dissolved. The costs of Global Business Services are allocated in full to the operating divisions. Deutsche Post AG’s retail outlets were transferred to the MAIL segment. The remaining items of the services area and the entire Corporate Center are now reported in the Corporate Center/Other column of the segment reporting. This column also includes the consolidation of intersegment transactions
After having split responsibility for the logistics business between two board departments in the first quarter, we implemented the new structure into our segment reporting format. The LOGISTICS Division was dissolved and replaced by the new GLOBAL FORWARDING / FREIGHT (hereinafter FORWARDING / FREIGHT) and SUPPLY CHAIN / CORPORATE INFORMATION SOLUTIONS (hereinafter SUPPLY CHAIN / CIS) divisions.
