Operating segments

Business segments are based on Stedin Group’s internal organisation and management reporting structure, and have not changed in comparison with the 2018 financial statements of Stedin Group. The segments are:

Segment Stedin

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

Segment Joulz

The segment Joulz consists of Joulz Energy Solutions B.V., an expert in designing, building as well as managing complex medium- and high-voltage installations.

With effect from 1 September 2018, Stedin Group sold the commercial activities reported within the segment Joulz to Visser & Smit Hanab. In connection with this sale, the regulated activities of the segment Joulz were integrated within Stedin with effect from 1 July 2018. Therefore, the segment Joulz ceased to exist as of 1 September 2018. The results presented for 2018 accordingly relate to the period from 1 January up to and including 1 September 2018.

Segment DNWG

The business segment DNWG is the entity DNWG Groep N.V., consisting of the grid manager Enduris B.V., which manages the gas and electricity grids in the province of Zeeland; DNWG Infra B.V. (formerly DELTA Infra B.V.), which provides non-regulated electricity, gas, water and data infrastructure services; and DNWG Warmte B.V., which provides heat infrastructure services.

Segment 'Other and eliminations'

The main components of the segment 'Other and eliminations' are the infrastructure, metering and steam network services of NetVerder (in 2018 Joulz Diensten), the activities of the holding company and the elimination of intragroup transactions. The other units are non-reportable segments according to the criteria in IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’ since they are not material and are therefore included within the segment 'Other and eliminations'. This segment also includes the discontinued operations of Joulz Services (through April 2019).

Since the balance sheets per operating segment are not periodically reported in the internal management information, Stedin Group has decided not to present these. The accounting policies for the group's 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.

Net revenues and other income, operating profit and investments by segment

Stedin Group operates solely in the Netherlands and all its revenues are generated in the Netherlands. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, the following table disaggregates the net revenue in 2019 into categories which reflect the way that the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. For the regulated domain, Stedin Group sought alignment wherever possible with the periodic reports required by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). The table also provides a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the segment information on the basis of the internal organisation and management reporting structure:
