2 Segment information
(a) Description of segments
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer that are used to make strategic and operating decisions.
The Group Chief Executive Officer considers the business primarily from a brand and geographic perspective. On this basis management has identified three reportable segments, JB Hi-Fi Australia ("JB Aust"), JB Hi-Fi New Zealand ("JB NZ") and The Good Guys ("TGG"). The Group Chief Executive Officer monitors the performance of these three segments separately. The Group does not operate under any other brand or in any other geographic segment.
(b) Segment information provided to the Group Chief Executive Officer
The segment information provided to the Group Chief Executive Officer for the reportable segments for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 is as follows:

(i) EBIT
The Group Chief Executive Officer assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of EBIT. This measurement basis excludes the effects of interest revenue, finance costs (including interest on leases) and income tax.
A reconciliation of consolidated EBIT to operating profit before income tax is provided as follows:
Half-year ended 31 December 2020 $m

(e) Product information
The Group operates in one product and services segment, being the sale of consumer electronics products and services, including televisions, audio equipment, computers, cameras, telecommunications products and services, software, musical instruments, whitegoods, cooking products, heating and cooling products, small appliances, kitchen accessories and information technology and consulting services. The Group’s revenue is primarily generated on a point in time basis. The amount of revenue recognised by the Group on an ‘over time’ basis is not material in the context of the Group’s total revenue.
(f) Covid-
The Group’s operations continued to be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting government actions during the half-year end 31 December 2020.
Sales momentum was strong throughout the half, with continued elevated customer demand for consumer electronics and home appliance products. This combined with exceptional growth in online sales and a well-executed Black Friday and Christmas promotional period, more than offset the impact of the government mandated temporary store closures during the half.
Disciplined cost control combined with strong sales growth drove significant operating leverage. The Group did not receive any government wage subsidies and continued to pay landlords and team members throughout the half, including the periods where stores were temporarily closed.

11 Fair value measurements
The only financial assets or financial liabilities carried at fair value are interest rate swaps.
These instruments are considered to be Level 2 financial instruments because, unlike Level 1 financial instruments, their measurement is derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
The fair value of the interest rate swaps at 31 December 2020 was nil (31 December 2019: $0.3m liability). The interest rate swaps fair value was obtained from third party valuations derived from discounted cash flow forecasts of interest rates from observable yield curves at the end of the reporting period and contract interest rates.
There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the half-year. The carrying amount of other financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximate their fair values.
12 Events occurring after the reporting period
There have been no matters or circumstances other than as set out in the directors' report occurring subsequent to the end of the half-year, that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.
