The segmental note has applied certain simplifications permitted by IFRS 8 “Operating segments”:
- withdrawing from presenting data related to the allocation of all assets and liabilities to various segments – resulting from not preparing and not presenting such tables to the PZU Management Board. The main information delivered to the PZU Management Board consists of data regarding the results of given segments and managerial decisions are made on this basis, including decisions on resource allocation. The analysis of the segmental allocation of assets and liabilities is limited to a large extent to monitoring the fulfillment of the regulatory requirements;
- presenting the net result on investments as a single amount as the difference between the realized and unrealized revenues and the costs of investments – stemming from the internal assessment of the segmental results based on such a combined measure of investment results;
- not allocating other revenues and costs to the segment called „investments” besides realized and unrealized revenues and costs of investments – stemming from the method of analyzing this segment’s data and the impracticality of such an allocation.
