Segment and Geographic Reporting
Determination of what constitutes a segment	We report segment information based on the various industries in which our businesses operate and how we manage those businesses in accordance with our investment strategies, which may include: identifying and acquiring undervalued assets and businesses, often through the purchase of distressed securities; increasing value through management, financial or other operational changes; and managing complex legal, regulatory or financial issues, which may include bankruptcy or insolvency, environmental, zoning, permitting and licensing issues. Therefore, although many of our businesses are operated under separate local management, certain of our businesses are grouped together when they operate within a similar industry, comprising similarities in products, customers, production processes and regulatory environments, and when such businesses, when considered together, may be managed in accordance with one or more investment strategies specific to those businesses. Our reportable segments reflect the way the Company is managed, and for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of our general partner, who is our CODM, reviews financial information for each segment and evaluates the results in relation to our broader business strategies. Accordingly, segment operating results are assessed based on net income from continuing operations attributable to Icahn Enterprises. Assets provided to the CODM are consistent with those reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and there are no intra-entity sales or transfers, or significant expense categories regularly reviewed by the CODM beyond those disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Certain terms of financings for certain of our businesses impose restrictions on the business’ ability to transfer funds to us, including restrictions on dividends, distributions, loans and other transactions. Our condensed statements of operations and balance sheets by reporting segment are presented below.
