Note 3Segment reportingThe division into business streams and markets reflects the Company’s internalorganization and reporting system.<strong>Skanska</strong>’s business streams are reported as primary segments. <strong>Skanska</strong> carriesout its operations in four business streams: Construction and Services, CommercialProject Development, Residential Project Development and BOT. Geographic marketsare reported as secondary segments. The market division that is used is basedon the natural delimitations between markets in the Group.The following table shows how <strong>Skanska</strong>’s business units/reporting units are dividedinto geographic markets and in what business stream they carry out their operations.A. Primary segment: Business streamsConstruction and Services is the Group’s largest business stream. Constructionincludes both building, civil and residential construction, but not residential projectdevelopment. The business stream also includes Services, which provides facilitiesmanagement for buildings and other structures.Residential Project Development creates residential projects for immediate sale.Housing units are adapted to selected customer categories. The units are responsiblefor planning and selling the projects. Construction assignments are performedby <strong>Skanska</strong>’s construction units in each respective market.Commercial Project Development initiates, develops, leases out and sells commercialproperty projects. Project development in this business stream focuses on officebuildings, shopping centers and logistics properties in Stockholm, Gothenburg,the Öresund region of southern Sweden and eastern Denmark, Warsaw (Poland),Prague (Czech Republic) and Budapest (Hungary).BOT (Build Operate Transfer) specializes in identifying, developing and investingin privately financed infrastructure projects, such as highways, hospitals and powergeneration plants. The business stream focuses on creating new potential projectsin the markets where the Group has operations.Assets and liabilities by business streamEach business stream has operating responsibility for its capital employed. The capitalemployed by each business stream consists of its total assets minus tax claimsand internal receivables invested in <strong>Skanska</strong>’s treasury unit (”internal bank”) minusnon-interest-bearing liabilities excluding tax liabilities. Acquisition goodwill has beenreported in to the business stream to which it belongs.Revenues and expenses by business streamEach business stream has operating responsibility for its income statement down toand including operating income. If its assets include interest-bearing receivables andliquid assets other than funds invested in the Group’s treasury unit, the company isalso responsible for the interest income that these assets earn. No interest expensesor taxes are found in the income statements of the respective business streams.Primary segments, business streamsSecondary segments, geographic market Commercial Residentialand the business/reporting Construction Project Project Central andunits belonging to them and Services Development Development BOT eliminationsSwedenSweden • • •Services•Project Development Sweden excludingportion in other Nordic countries•Other Nordic countriesNorway Denmark Finland • • •Portion of Project Development Sweden•Rest of EuropePoland Czech Republic Östeuropa • •United Kingdom•Project Development Europe•USAUSA BuildingUSA CivilProject Development USA••Other marketsSouth AmericaHong Kong (equity methodIndiaInternational Projects • • •BOT•Central and eliminationsIntra-Group pricing between business streams occurs on estimated market terms.•<strong>Skanska</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2003</strong> – Notes, including accounting and valuation principles 51
