As a result of the change, instead of the previous five segments presented (general construction, civil engineering, road construction, real estate development and other segments), the group will start submitting segment reporting in the following three segments: -- Estonian construction service -- Latvia and Lithuanian construction service -- Real estate development Estonian construction service and Latvian and Lithuanian construction service segments include all projects of the respective countries pertaining to construction services: including general construction, civil engineering and road construction projects. Real estate development is based on the development of real estate in the ownership of the group, encompassing development of apartment projects, long-term investments into real estate and real estate projects executed for business purposes, and to a minor extent also real estate maintenance and lease. The reporting of this segment has not changed compared to the former coverage. As a result of the change the operating segments presented in the group's external financial reporting structure are grouped together according to the requirements applicable to disclosure of operating segments pursuant to the conditions specified in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 8). The group will introduce the changes starting on 1 January 2015 and present interim reports with the new segment reporting structure starting from the first quarter 2015, which will be submitted to the stock exchange on 7 May 2015 before the beginning of the trading day at 8:00 in the morning local Estonian time (EET).
