Other notes<br />
The segment reporting was prepared according to IAS 14 (Segment Reporting). Based on the<br />
113<br />
internal reporting and organizational structure of the Group, consolidated financial statement<br />
data is presented by business unit and region. The segmentation aims to make the earnings<br />
power and the net assets and financial situation of the Group’s different activities and regions<br />
more transparent.<br />
In line with <strong>Dürr</strong>’s dominating organizational structure, the Group’s business units form the<br />
basis of the primary reporting. The <strong>Dürr</strong> Group is comprised of a management holding and five<br />
business units (2003: five) differentiated by product and performance spectrum which each<br />
have global responsibility for their products and results.<br />

The principles underlying the Group’s management reporting and controlling are substantially<br />
the same as those described in the consolidated financial statements according to IFRS. The<br />
Company measures the performance of its business units by earnings before tax in accordance<br />
with the disclosure in the consolidated income statement.<br />
Sales revenues relating to transactions between the business units are generally recorded at<br />
values that approximate the prices that would be offered to independent third parties. Revenues<br />
are generally allocated to regions based on the location of the customer. Business unit assets<br />
are allocated on the basis of the location of the subsidiary reporting these assets.
