Directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Company and the Group will be able to operate within the
levels of available banking facilities and cash for the foreseeable future.
Consequently, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017.
2. Segmental reporting
Business segments
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is responsible for the overall
resource allocation and performance assessment of the Group. The Board of
Directors approves major capital expenditure, assesses the performance of the
Group and also determines key financing decisions. Consequently, the Board of
Directors is considered to be the CODM.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into two operating segments:
Leisure Travel and Distribution & Logistics. These operating segments are
consistent with how information is presented to the CODM for the purpose of
resource allocation and assessment of their performance and as such, they are
also deemed to be the reporting segments.
The Leisure Travel business specialises in scheduled holiday flights by its
airline Jet2.com to destinations in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands and
to European Leisure Cities and the provision of ATOL licensed package holidays
by its tour operator Jet2holidays. Resource allocation decisions are based on
the entire route network and the deployment of its entire aircraft fleet.
The Distribution & Logistics business is run on the basis of the evaluation of
distribution centre-level performance data. However, resource allocation
decisions are made based on the entire distribution network. The objective in
making resource allocation decisions is to maximise the segment results rather
than the results of the individual distribution centres within the network.
Group eliminations include the removal of inter-segment asset and liability
balances.
Following the identification of the operating segments, the Group has assessed
the similarity of their characteristics. Given the different performance
targets, customer bases and operating markets of each, it is not appropriate
to aggregate the operating segments for reporting purposes and, therefore,
both are disclosed as reportable segments for the year ended 31 March 2017:
· Leisure Travel, which incorporates the Group's ATOL licensed package
holidays operator, Jet2holidays and its leisure airline, Jet2.com; and
· Distribution & Logistics, incorporating the Group's logistics company,
Fowler Welch.
The Board assesses the performance of each segment based on operating profit,
and profit before and after taxation. Revenue from reportable segments is
measured on a basis consistent with the Consolidated Income Statement.
Revenue is principally generated from within the UK, the Group's country of
domicile. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly
attributable to a segment, as well as those that can be allocated on a
reasonable basis. No customer represents more than 10% of the Group's
revenue.
