SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management analyzes the Company’s operating segments separately because of different economic environments and stages of development in different geographical areas, requiring different investment and marketing strategies.
Management evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments on a regular basis, primarily based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, impairment, gain/loss on disposals of non-current assets, other non-operating gains/losses, share of profit/loss of joint ventures and associates and listing expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) along with assessing the capital expenditures excluding certain costs such as those for telecommunication licenses and right-of-use assets (“CAPEX excl. licenses and ROU”). Management does not analyze assets or liabilities by reportable segments.
Reportable segments consist of Pakistan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Bangladesh for 2025, 2024 and 2023.
We also present our results of operations for “HQ and eliminations” and “Others” separately, although these are not reportable segments. “HQ, eliminations and Others” represents our operations in Kyrgyzstan and transactions related to management activities within the Group. Operations in Kyrgyzstan has been sold during the year ended December 31, 2025, for further details refer to Note 11—Significant transactions of these consolidated financial statements.
Financial information by reportable segment for the periods ended December 31 is presented in the following tables. Inter-segment transactions are not material and are made on terms which are comparable to transactions with third parties.
