Enclosure No.2
DC08-31 23 January
2008
CHANGE TO PRESENTATION OF BT'S FINANCIAL RESULTS FOLLOWING IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
Key points:
* Presentation of BT's financial results is being changed to reflect the
implementation of its new organisational structure announced in April 2007.
* New organisational structure provides greater visibility on end-to-end
profitability of the lines of business.
* As previously announced, results for third quarter 2007/08 and onwards
will be reported under the new structure.
* Historical results at BT group level and financial targets are unaffected
by these changes.
* BT continues to comply with the requirements of the regulatory
Undertakings and obligations.
In April 2007, BT announced its plans to accelerate its transformation into a
communications services company. Key to this acceleration is the creation of a
new organisational structure that will enable the delivery of faster, more
resilient and cost effective services to customers. BT moved to this new
structure with effect from 1 October 2007 and, as a result, is changing the
presentation of its financial results to reflect the impact of the
transformation. As previously stated, BT's results for the third quarter of
2007/08, to be announced on 7 February 2008, and onwards will be reported under
the new structure. Historical results at BT group level and financial targets
are unaffected by these changes.
The new organisational structure is based around two new internal operating
divisions, namely BT Design and BT Operate, which support the existing four
customer-facing lines of business. BT Design is responsible for the design and
development of services and BT Operate is responsible for their deployment and
operation. The divisions will help BT deliver software driven products over
next generation networks as well as drive the achievement of cost savings.
For comparative purposes, BT is today providing historical results for its lines
of business for the 2006/07 financial year and for the first half of the 2007/08
financial year on a quarterly basis under the new structure. The main changes
are that a significant amount of intra-group trading is removed and there is
greater visibility on the end-to-end profitability of the lines of business
downstream of Openreach. Trading between Openreach and other parts of the group
is broadly unchanged.
The summary financial results for the 2006/07 financial year and for the first
half of the 2007/08 financial year on a quarterly basis under the old and new
structures, showing the adjustments, are attached at Appendix I.
An analysts' conference call and presentation by Phil Moses, Group Controller
and Director of Investor Relations, will be held at 10:00 today and will be
audiowebcast simultaneously on the BT website at www.btplc.com/investorcentre
Performance indicators updated to reflect the impact of the new organisational
structure are also available on the BT website.
