The management of the Group’s operations, excluding Central functions, is organised within four geographical regions:
• | Americas; |
• | Europe; |
• | Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA); and |
• | Greater China. |
These, together with Central functions, comprise the Group’s five reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form these reportable segments.
Central functions include costs of global functions including technology, sales and marketing, finance, human resources and corporate services; central revenue arises principally from technology fee income. Central liabilities include the loyalty programme liability and the cumulative System Fund surplus.
Each of the geographical regions is led by its own Chief Executive Officer and derives its revenues from either franchising, managing or owning hotels and additional segmental disclosures are provided accordingly.
Management monitors the operating results of the geographical regions and Central functions separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segmental performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with operating profit or loss in the Consolidated Financial Statements, excluding exceptional items. Group financing activities and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to reportable segments.
