Note 4. Segment reporting

Due to the introduction of a new group-wide organization, the composition of the segments has changed as of the 2021 financial year. Internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker, i.e. the plenary Managing Board, was adjusted accordingly as at January 1, 2021.

The reportable segments are the “Division Fiber”, “Division Pulp” and “Others”. The Lenzing Group classifies its segments based on the differences between their products, which require individual technologies and market strategies.

The Division Fiber produces all three generations of wood-based cellulosic fibers and markets them under the product brands TENCEL™, VEOCEL™, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ and LENZING™. The products made from lyocell, modal and viscose fibres are used for the production of textiles as well as nonwovens and special applications.

The Division Pulp produces and procures dissolving pulp, which is the necessary primary and intermediate product for fiber production. The pulp is used for the company’s own cellulosic fiber production and marketed externally. The fiber and pulp production systems are used and managed independently of each other.

“Others” mainly includes central headquarters functions, overarching activities and the business activities of BZL – Bildungszentrum Lenzing GmbH, Lenzing (training and personnel development).

The other significant non-cash operating expenses and income relate to non-cash measurement effects from biological assets, receivables, inventories and provisions.

The performance of the segments and the Group is measured by EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and depletion of biological assets and before income from the release of investment grants).

The following table shows the reconciliation of earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and to the earnings before tax (EBT):
