1.1 Segment reporting (unaudited)
External segment reporting is based on the internal reporting that is used by the Executive Board to guide the company.
Due to the sale of cashgate AG (Consumer Finance business unit), internal management reporting and external segment reporting were adjusted in 2019. This means that the former Internal Financing segment is no longer reported separately.
