Segment Reporting

4. Segment reporting

The chief operating decision maker, or CODM, reviews consolidated net loss for the period when assessing the Group’s performance, allocating resources and establishing management’s compensation. In addition to consolidated net loss, the CODM receives discrete information for revenue by major customer and geographic location. Consolidated net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results and is reviewed against the Group’s peers and competitors as benchmarking. The Group operates as one reportable segment in the specific technology field of RNA therapeutics.

The accounting policies of its operating segment are the same as those described in the Group’s summary of significant accounting policies.

The Group derives revenues from customers through royalty income and research collaboration agreements, each representing a major customer, specifically related to the development of RNAi-based medicines. Refer to Note 3 – Revenue for a further description of the types of products from which the Group derives its revenues.

The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
