Note 4 Information by operating segment
For internal reporting purposes the Group is structured into the following four business units based on the type of products and services provided:
- Automotive Seating (design of vehicle seats, manufacture of seating frames and adjustment mechanisms, and assembly of complete seating units);
- Emissions Control Technologies (design and manufacture of exhaust systems);
- Interior Systems (design and manufacture of instrument panels, door panels and modules, and acoustic components);
- Automotive Exteriors (design and manufacture of front ends and safety modules).
These business units are managed on an independent basis in terms of reviewing their individual performance and allocating resources. The tables below show reconciliation between the indicators used to measure the performance of each segment - notably operating income - and the consolidated financial statements. Borrowings, other operating income and expense, financial income and expense, and taxes are monitored at Group level and are not allocated to the various segments.
