Primary and Secondary Reporting Formats
The primary reporting format was defined by geographical segment, as the opportunities and risks of the MAGIX Group are mainly influenced by differences in the different geographical regions “Europe and rest of world” and “USA”. The secondary reporting format was prepared on the basis of the business segments.
The distinction between the business segments of the MAGIX Group is based on different sales channels for the products and services. In the “Consumer & Professional” segment, the products of the MAGIX Group are sold to retail partners that resell the products supplied by the MAGIX Group in their own sales networks/channels. The “Portal” segment is used for direct sales of products, services and content of the MAGIX Group via the Company’s own websites or partners’ websites.
