China and South East Asia, which are managed on a regional basis, and the Group’s Automotive business, which is managed globally. It should be borne in mind that the flat glass businesses of the NSG Group account for just under 90 percent of the NSG Group’s business by sales and that the Group also has a third business line, Specialty Glass, accounting for around 11 percent of Group sales, which is not covered by this publication. Consequently, any figures referring to ‘Pilkington’ or ‘NSG Group flat glass’ sales and operating income are lower than those for the NSG Group as a whole. The strategic direction of the NSG Group itself is covered in Part Three of this publication. The operating currency of the NSG Group is the Japanese yen. However, for ease of reference, some figures are expressed in euro and any figures relating to financial performance are therefore approximate. This publication should be read in conjunction with the NSG Group Annual Report 2011, covering the fiscal year ended 31 March 2011.
