2. Financial information by operating segment

We break down our financial information according to our operations, with the operating segments reflecting our management structure. We differentiate between the following segments:

  • Gasunie Transport Services
    This segment covers regulated network operations in the Netherlands and is responsible for managing natural gas transmission, developing the natural gas network and related installations, and helping to facilitate a well-functioning market.
  • Gasunie Deutschland
    This segment covers regulated network operations in north-western Germany and is responsible for managing natural gas transmission, developing the natural gas network and the German hydrogen network, the related installations, and helping to facilitate a well-functioning market.
  • Participations
    This segment is focused on developing and managing infrastructure for the transport and storage of CO2, hydrogen and heat, facilitating the production of biomethane, and facilitating natural gas flows to north-western Europe through LNG import terminals and interconnection pipelines.

The accounting policies for measurement of assets and liabilities and the determination of the results used for the operating segments are the same as the accounting policies used when drawing up these consolidated financial statements. The assets, revenue and results of a segment comprise items directly related to the segments and items that we can reasonably attribute to them. Because our financing mainly takes place at group level, we do not segment liabilities and, therefore, do not report on these separately. We carry out transactions between companies that belong to the segments at arm’s length. As regards intersegment eliminations, we have removed transactions between the segments in the financial information by operating segment.
