(45) Notes on Segment Reporting<br />

In its segment reporting, the <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Group is prematurely applying IFRS 8 (“Operating Segments”),<br />

which was adopted by the European Union in November 2007 and will replace the currently valid<br />

provisions of IAS 14 as from January 1, 2009.<br />

The segmentation of the <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Group into five (2006: four) divisions accords with the Group’s<br />

internal controlling and reporting functions.<br />

In the segment report, the business activities of the <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Group are assigned to the Steel, Trading,<br />

Tubes and Services Divisions and, since the acquisition of the mechanical engineering group Klöckner<br />

in July 2007, the new Technology Division. <strong>Salzgitter</strong> <strong>AG</strong> as the management holding company and<br />

the intermediate holding company <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Mannesmann GmbH are not assigned to any division.<br />

The operating steel companies <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Flachstahl GmbH, Peiner Träger GmbH and Ilsenburger<br />

Grobblech GmbH belong to the Steel Division via the intermediate holding company <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Stahl<br />

GmbH. The Division’s main products are steel strip, sections and plate. HSP Hoesch Spundwand und<br />

Profil GmbH, <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Bauelemente GmbH, <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Europlatinen GmbH and ThyssenKrupp GfT<br />

Bautechnik GmbH, which is valued at equity, continue to be assigned to this division.<br />

The Tubes Division includes the fully consolidated units Mannesmannröhren-Werke GmbH, Mannesmannröhren<br />

Mülheim GmbH, Mannesmann Präzisrohr GmbH, Mannesmann Robur B.V., Mannesmann<br />

acquired or first-time consolidated <strong>Salzgitter</strong> companies <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Mannesmann Precision GmbH (formerly<br />

Mannesmannring Sachsen GmbH), Mannesmannrohr Sachsen GmbH and Vallourec Précision<br />

Etirage S.A.S. This division concentrates mainly on the production of pipeline tubes, precision steel<br />

tubes and stainless steel steel tubes.<br />

This division also includes the joint venture Europipe GmbH (including the subsidiaries Europipe<br />

France S.A., eb Pipe Coatings Corporation, Berg Steel Pipe Corporation and MÜLHEIM PIPECOATINGS<br />

GmbH), which is included proportionately in the consolidated financial statements. Hüttenwerke<br />

Krupp Mannesmann GmbH is assigned to this business segment as an associated company using the<br />

equity method.<br />

The Trading Division consists of four domestic and five foreign companies in the <strong>Salzgitter</strong> Mannesmann<br />

Handel Group, Universal Eisen und Stahl GmbH, Hövelmann & Lueg GmbH and Flachform Stahl GmbH.<br />
