("Hunting" or "the Company" or "the Group")
Change to the Group's Segmental Reporting 2017
Hunting PLC (LSE:HTG), the international energy services group, today announces a change to its segmental reporting under IFRS 8 Segment Reporting.
Further to the Board changes announced during the year which came into effect on 1 September 2017, the Board has reviewed the segmental presentation of financial information it requires to assess performance and allocate resources. It now considers a more geographic-focused reporting format based on the location of operating activities to be more meaningful from a management and forecasting perspective.
In line with these internal changes, external segmental reporting has been revised to present the performance of Hunting's US, Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa operations. Further, due to its size and nature of operations, Hunting Titan's activities are reported separately. Hunting's non-core Exploration and Production business unit is also reported separately as its activities are different in nature to the Group's other reporting segments.
The Board assesses the performance of the operating segments based on revenue and operating results. Operating results is a profit-based measure and excludes discontinued operations and the effects of amortisation of acquired intangible assets and exceptional items such as restructuring costs, onerous provisions and asset impairments.
Further, the Board will provide revenue information by product groups, to assist in investor understanding of the underlying performance trends.
Revised Segmental Information
The Group's external revenue and operating results by operating segment for the period 2013 - 2016 is detailed below. The four years presented below together with 2017's segmental information in the 2017 Annual Report will provide five years' information.

Hunting Titan: Hunting Titan manufactures and distributes perforating products and accessories. The segment's products include the H-1 Perforating System and the EQUAfrac shaped charge technology. The business has four manufacturing facilities in the US, supported by a distribution centre network at 21 locations across North America.
US: The US businesses supply premium connections, OCTG, drilling tools, subsea equipment, intervention tools, electronics and complex deephole drilling and precision machining services for the US and overseas markets.
Canada: Hunting's Canadian business manufactures premium connections and accessories for oil and gas operators in Canada, often focussed on heavy oil plays which require specialist tubing technologies. Canada also manufactures perforating guns.
Europe: The segment derives its revenue primarily from the supply of OCTG and well intervention equipment to operators in the North Sea.
Asia Pacific: Revenue from the Asia Pacific segment is primarily from the manufacture of premium connections and OCTG supply. Asia Pacific also manufactures perforating guns.
Middle East, Africa and other: Revenue from the Middle East and Africa is from the sale of in-field well intervention services across the region which also acts as a sales hub for other products manufactured globally by the Group.
Exploration and Production: The Exploration and Production business comprises the Group's exploration and production activities in the Southern US and offshore Gulf of Mexico.
Although the Canada and Exploration and Production segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds required by IFRS 8 for reportable segments, these segments are separately reported as they are separately monitored by the Board.
Below is the Group's external revenue by product for the period 2013 - 2016.
