OPERATING SEGMENTS
In the prior years, the Group had identified three operating segments, SpiderNet ecosystem solutions services segment, digital financial services segment, and corporate segment. As a result of business acquisitions in 2023,
the Group updated its internal organizational structure and the financial measures provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). SpiderNet ecosystem solutions services segment, digital financial services segment, and corporate segment are also renamed as digital solutions services—non financial services segment, digital solutions services—financial services segment, and digital media, content, and marketing services and others segment, respectively, to reflect the Group’s holistic business services to the customers. 
These changes in segment reporting align with the manner in which the Group’s CODM currently receives and uses financial information to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of operating segments. These changes in segment presentation do not affect consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income or consolidated statements of cash flows. The Group retrospectively revised prior period segment information, to conform to current period presentation.
The Group now operates its businesses in four operating segments: digital solutions services—non financial services segment, digital solutions services—financial services segment,
h
otel operations, hospitality and VIP services segment and digital media, content, and marketing services and others segment. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s reportable segment.
 
  (a)
The digital solutions services—non financial services segment: The Group provides its institutional and corporate clients with exclusive, paid access to the AMTD SpiderNet ecosystem to enhance their investor communication, investor relations and corporate communication to potentially maximize their valuation;
 
  (b)
The digital solutions services—financial services segment: The Group provides primarily corporate clients with insurance brokerage services;
 
  (c)
Hotel operations, hospitality and VIP services segment: The Group engages in hotel investments, hotel operations, hospitality and VIP services since the acquisition of AMTD Assets in February 2023; and
 
  (d)
The digital media, content, and marketing services and others segment: The Group engages in digital media, content, and marketing business in which the Group creates and promotes digital solutions content by investing in and developing multimedia channels to provide users and audiences access to content medium through a comprehensive library of traditional and digital movies, podcasts, webinars and live videos offered by content providers and online media platforms and invests in innovative technology companies which operate digital
non
 
financial
license businesses through strategic investments.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in note 3. Segment
profits (losses
) represents the profit earned by/loss from each segment without allocation of certain other income, other gains and losses, corporate expenses, including central administration costs and
 
 
directors’ emoluments. This is the measure reported to the CODM for the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment.
The CODM makes decisions according to operating results of each segment. No analysis of segment asset and segment liability is presented as the CODM does not regularly review such information for the purposes
of
resources allocation
and
performance assessment. Therefore, only segment revenue and segment results are presented.
