Segment reporting
1    Segment reporting
Reportable segments
The Group operated four reportable segments during FY2021, which are aligned with the commodities that are extracted and marketed and reflect the structure used by the Group’s management to assess the performance of the Group.
 
Reportable segment
  
Principal activities
   
Petroleum
  
Exploration, development and production of oil and gas
   
Copper
  
Mining of copper, silver, zinc, molybdenum, uranium and gold
   
Iron Ore
  
Mining of iron ore
   
Coal
  
Mining of metallurgical coal and energy coal
Unless otherwise noted, the segment reporting information for the year ended 30 June 2019 excludes Discontinued operations, being the Petroleum Onshore US operations comprising the Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Permian and Fayetteville oil and gas assets.
Group and unallocated items includes functions, other unallocated operations including Potash, Nickel West and legacy assets, and consolidation adjustments. Revenue not attributable to reportable segments comprises the sale of freight and fuel to third-parties, as well as revenues from unallocated operations. Exploration and technology activities are recognised within relevant segments.
Total assets and total liabilities for FY2020 and FY2019 have been restated to reflect changes to the Group’s accounting policy following a decision by the IFRS Interpretations Committee on IAS 12/AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ (IAS 12), resulting in the retrospective recognition of US$950 million of Goodwill at Olympic Dam (included in the Copper Segment) and an offsetting US$1,021 million increase in Deferred tax liabilities (included in Group and unallocated). Refer to note 39 ‘New and amended accounting standards and interpretations and changes to accounting policies’ for further information.

Unallocated assets comprise deferred tax assets and other financial assets.
Underlying EBITDA
Underlying EBITDA is earnings before net finance costs, depreciation, amortisation and impairments, taxation expense, Discontinued operations and any exceptional items. Underlying EBITDA includes BHP’s share of profit/(loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method including net finance costs, depreciation, amortisation and impairments and taxation expense/(benefit).
Exceptional items are excluded from Underlying EBITDA in order to enhance the comparability of such measures from
period-to-period
and provide investors with further clarity in order to assess the performance of the Group’s operations. Management monitors exceptional items separately. Refer to note 3 ‘Exceptional items’ for additional detail.
Segment assets and liabilities
Total segment assets and liabilities of reportable segments represents operating assets and operating liabilities, including the carrying amount of equity accounted investments and predominantly excludes cash balances, loans to associates, interest bearing liabilities and deferred tax balances. The carrying value of investments accounted for using the equity method represents the balance of the Group’s investment in equity accounted investments, with no adjustment for any cash balances, interest bearing liabilities or deferred tax balances of the equity accounted investment.
