3. Operating segments

Business segments are based on Stedin Group's internal organisation and management reporting structure. The segments are:

‘Grid manager Stedin’ segment

The ‘Grid manager Stedin’ business segment comprises the regulated domain: the grid manager Stedin. Stedin manages the gas and electricity grids in its service area.

‘Other and eliminations’ segment

The most important units of the ‘Other and eliminations’ segment are the non-regulated activities as described in 1.1 General information, the activities of the holding company and the cost entities being Stedin Groep Personeels B.V. and Stedin Groep Services B.V., as well as the elimination of intragroup transactions. The units are non-reportable segments, since they are not material, and are therefore included within the ‘Other and eliminations’ segment.

The balance sheet by operating segment is not reported periodically in the internal management information. Consequently, this is not presented. The accounting policies for these financial statements applied by Stedin Group are also applied in segment reporting.

The operating results are not cyclical in nature and are not materially affected by seasonal patterns.

3.1 Net revenue and other income, operating profit and investments by segment

Stedin Group operates solely in the Netherlands, and all its revenues are generated there. The non-current assets of all segments are located in the Netherlands.

For the breakdown of net revenue, Stedin Group sought alignment wherever possible with the periodic reports required by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) for the regulated domain. The table also provides a reconciliation of the broken down net revenue with the segment information on the basis of the internal organisation and management reporting structure:
