Segment reporting<br />
Effective from January 1, <strong>2010</strong>, the Group is reporting its Residential<br />
Development and Commercial Property Development segments<br />
according to a new segment reporting method. The new segment<br />
reporting method recognizes revenue and gains on the divestment<br />
<strong>of</strong> properties, residential as well as commercial, when binding sales<br />
contracts are signed, unlike reporting compliance with IFRSs and<br />
IFRIC 15, where revenue and gains on divestment <strong>of</strong> properties are recognized<br />
when the purchaser takes possession <strong>of</strong> the property or home.<br />
The new segment reporting method reflects <strong>Skanska</strong>’s operations<br />
better than IFRIC 15. The Senior Executive Team and the Board <strong>of</strong><br />
Directors monitor operations based on segment reporting, and this<br />
will also serve as the primary basis for dividend decisions. The design<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Group’s incentive programs also mainly follows segment reporting.<br />
Intra-Group pricing between operating segments occurs<br />
on market terms.<br />

<strong>Skanska</strong>’s business streams − Construction, Residential Development,<br />
Commercial Property Development and Infrastructure Development<br />
− are reported as operating segments.<br />

divests commercial property projects. In most markets, construction<br />
assignments are performed by <strong>Skanska</strong>’s Construction segment.<br />
