. Segment reporting disclosures
Deutsche Post DHL reports four operating segments; these
are managed independently by the responsible segment manage-
ment bodies in line with the products and services oered and
the brands, distribution channels and customer proles involved.
Components of the entity are dened as a segment on the basis of
the existence of segment managers with bottom-line responsibility
who report directly to Deutsche Post DHL’s top management.
External revenue is the revenue generated by the divisions
from non-Group third parties. Internal revenue is revenue gener-
ated with other divisions. If comparable external market prices exist
for services or products oered internally within the Group, these
market prices or market-oriented prices are used as transfer prices
(arm’s length principle). e transfer prices for services for which
no external market exists are generally based on incremental costs.
e expenses for  services provided in the  service
centres are allocated to the divisions by cause. e additional costs
resulting from Deutsche Post ’s universal postal service obli-
gation (nationwide retail outlet network, delivery every working
day), and from its obligation to assume the compensation struc-
ture as the legal successor to Deutsche Bundespost, are allocated
to the  division.
In keeping with internal reporting, capital expenditure
(capex) is disclosed. Additions to intangible assets net of goodwill
and to property, plant and equipment are reported in the capex
gure. Depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses relate to
the segment assets allocated to the individual divisions. Other non-
cash expenses relate primarily to expenses from the recognition of
provisions.
Reecting the Group’s predominant organisational structure,
the primary reporting format is based on the divisions. e Group
distinguishes between the following divisions:
