Segment information

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity’s Directors examined the group’s performance from both sales channel and geographical perspective and identified three reportable segments being retail, wholesale, and e-commerce.

Retail

This segment covers retail and outlet stores located in Australia and New Zealand.

Wholesale

This segment covers wholesale intimates apparel to customers in New Zealand, Australia, Europe and USA.

E-commerce

This segment covers the group’s online retail activities. E-commerce revenue includes revenue from a US brand called Fredericks of Hollywood (FOH) for which Bendon Limited currently has a licence agreement.

These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive Officer (who is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The CODM reviews segment EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.

EBITDA is a financial measure which is not prescribed by IFRS and represents the profit adjusted for specific non-cash and significant items. The directors consider EBITDA to reflect the core earnings of the consolidated entity.

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

Other Costs and Business Activities

Certain costs are not allocated to our reporting segment results, such as costs associated.

Corporate overheads, which is responsible for centralized functions such as information technology, facilities, legal, finance, human resources, business development, and procurement. These costs also include compensation costs and other miscellaneous operating expenses not charged to our operating segments, as well as interest and tax income and expense.

These costs are included within “unallocated” segment in our segment performance.

Other assets and liabilities

We manage our assets and liabilities on a Group basis, not by segment. CODM does not regularly review any asset or liability information by segment and its preparation is impracticable. Accordingly, we do not report asset and liability information by segment.
