Business Segment Information
5. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The different business segments in which the Group’s organization is structured consider the different activities from which the Group can obtain revenues and incur expenses. Such organizational structure is based on the way in which the chief decision maker analyzes the main operating and financial magnitudes for making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment, also considering the business strategy of the Group.
Business segment information is presented consistently with the manner of reporting the information used by the chief decision maker to allocate resources and assess business segment performance.
As of the current fiscal year, as a consequence of the organizational structure changes in which the New Energies Vice Presidency was created and the Gas and Power Vice Presidency and the Downstream Vice Presidency were reformulated as the LNG and Integrated Gas Vice Presidency and the Midstream and Downstream Vice Presidency, respectively, the full management scope of these new business units was determined. On January 1, 2025, these organizational changes resulted in a modification of the composition of the business segments according to how the chief decision maker allocates resources and assesses the performance of these business segments, creating the New Energies business segment and readjusting the composition and definition of the businesses of the remaining business segments. Accordingly, the comparative information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 has been restated.
The business segments structure is organized as follows:
