AGL Energy Limited (AGL) will amend the basis for segmental analysis reporting commencing with the 2012 interim results to be released on 24 February 2012. Accounting Standard AASB 8 requires companies to report segmental information on a similar basis as is used internally by management for reviewing operating segment performance.

There is no change to the reported profit in any prior periods, only a reallocation between business units.

The two main changes are:

  • Business Customers (formerly Commercial and Industrial) transferred to Merchant Energy, previously reported in Retail Energy; and
  • Some administration costs (mainly finance and IT) now reported in centrally managed expenses, previously reported in the business units. 


The historical segment data in Appendix 1 is provided to facilitate comparisons with performance in prior periods.

For more information, please refer to the ASX release.
