Segment Information |
4 5. | SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has the following reportable segments that provide different products or services. The reportable segments are managed separately because each segment represents a strategic business unit that serves different markets. Segment information is provided to the CEO who allocates resources and assesses segment performance. The Company’s measure of segment performance is mainly based on revenues and income before income tax. The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:
| a. | Domestic fixed communications business - the provision of local telephone services, domestic long distance telephone services, broadband access, and related services;
| b. | Mobile communications business - the provision of mobile services, sales of mobile handsets and data cards, and related services;
| c. | Internet business - the provision of HiNet services and related services;
| d. | International fixed communications business - the provision of international long distance telephone services and related services;
| e. | Others - the provision of non-telecom services and the corporate related items not allocated to reportable segments.
Some operating segments have been aggregated into a single operating segment taking into account the following factors: (a) similar economic characteristics such as long-term gross profit margins; (b) the nature of the telecommunications products and services are similar; (c) the nature of production processes of the telecommunications products and services are similar; (d) the type or class of customer for the telecommunications products and services are similar; and (e) the methods used to provide the services to the customers are similar. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 3.
