The Segments
The current reporting format is the one that will apply for Deutsche Post World Net in the future. With effect from the first quarter of 2008, we unbundled the SERVICES Division. 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.
In addition, we have split up the LOGISTICS Division into the new divisions FORWARDING/FREIGHT and SUPPLY CHAIN/CIS. In the third quarter, the Pension Service was reallocated from the FINANCIAL SERVICES Division to the mail business, as they share a regulatory environment that is almost the same. The remaining segment consists only of Postbank and is reported under “discontinued operations”.
