Consolidated segment results

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

The reportable segments of the Group have been identified based on the nature of the business activities. The business is managed in three major segments and this remains consistent with the prior year with some movements of businesses between the segments. Changes to the reportable segments in the current year included the moving of HQaaS and Digital Industries businesses out of NEXTEC to iOCO to streamline and consolidate similar business offerings in line with the revised strategy of EOH. This basis is representative of the internal structure of the Group for management purposes and the segment results for the comparative period has been restated accordingly. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Group Executive Committee.

iOCO is the ICT business focused on traditional and cutting-edge technology system integration with a range of solutions, products and services across the ICT value chain.

NEXTEC consists of a variety of businesses focused on business process outsourcing and technology infrastructure at various stages of incubation for growth and scaling.

IP comprises a group of high potential intellectual property companies with scaled technology ready to take to market with partners.

The CODM is not presented with secondary information in the form of geographic information and as a result, geographic information is not disclosed in the segment results. Liabilities and assets are also not regularly provided to the CODM and are not disclosed in the segment results.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit/(loss) before depreciation, amortisation, share-based payment expense, gain/loss on disposal of subsidiaries and equity-accounted investments, impairments of non-financial assets, share of profit/loss of equity-accounted investments, remeasurement gain/losses on vendors for acquisition liability, interest income, interest expense and current and deferred tax.
