NEC to Revise Operating Segments

Tokyo, July 21, 2020 – NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) shifted to a new performance management system and a new organization structure effective as of April 1, 2020. In line with these changes, NEC’s operating segments will be revised as of its consolidated financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, being announced on July 31, 2020.

Please refer to the below attachments for more detail: “New Segment Overview,” “Revenue and Adjusted Operating Profit/Loss (*) by New Segment.”

Primary revisions

 

1.

Performance management system change

Under the former organization structure, among the products and services provided by each business unit to customers, products and services managed by other business units were recorded as revenue in the segment to which the business unit managing the products and services belonged. However, in order to clarify the responsibility of the business unit performing a commercial dealing with a customer, the sales revenue of products and services are now recorded in the business unit providing products and services to a customer.

Along with this, the “System Platform” segment is no longer an operating segment, and, excluding revenue recorded in other operating segments, revenue previously recorded in the “System Platform” segment, is now included in “Others.”

 

2.

Segment change

NEC has made the following segment changes due to organizational reforms and changes in the management system of subsidiaries that have been implemented to accelerate business development related to digital transformation (DX) and strengthen business execution capabilities by integrating businesses with compatibility.

 

– 1 –


   

The segment managing the solution business for electric power providers has changed from “Public Infrastructure” to “Public Solutions”

 

   

The segment of ABeam Consulting Ltd. has changed from “Enterprise” to “Others”

 

   

The segment of NEC Facilities, Ltd. has changed from “Others” to “Enterprise”

Comparison of old and new segments

(*)

“Adjusted Operating Profit/Loss” is an indicator for measuring the underlying profitability in order to clarify the contribution of acquired companies to NEC’s overall earnings. It is calculated by deducting amortization of intangible assets recognized as a result of M&A and expenses for acquisition of companies (financial advisory fees, etc.) from operating profit and loss.
