REPORTING SEGMENTS

 

The group has six main reportable segments that reflects the structure used by the Joint Presidents and Chief Executive Officers to make key operating decisions and assess performance. The group’s reportable segments are operating segments that are differentiated by the activities that each undertakes and the products they manufacture and market (referred to as business segments). The group evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on operating profit.

 

The operating model structure reflects how the results are reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM for Sasol are the Joint Presidents and Chief Executive Officers.

 

Operating business units

 

Mining

 

Mining is responsible for securing coal feedstock for the Southern African value chain, mainly for gasification, but also to generate electricity and steam. Coal is sold for gasification and utility purposes to Secunda Synfuels, for utility purposes to Sasolburg Operations; and to third parties in the export market.

 

Mining sells coal under both long- and short-term contracts at a price determinable from the agreements. Turnover is recognised upon delivery of the coal to the customer, which, in accordance with the related contract terms is the point at which the title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer. Prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The date of delivery related to Mining is determined in accordance with the contractual agreements entered into with customers. These are summarised as follows:

 

Delivery terms

 

Title and risks, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer

Free on Board

 

When coal is loaded onto the vessel at Richards Bay Coal Terminal — the customer is responsible for shipping and handling costs.

 

The related costs of sales are recognised in the same period as the supply of the coal and include any shipping and handling costs incurred. All inter-segment sales are conducted at market related prices.

 

Exploration and Production International

 

Exploration and Production International (E&PI) develops and manages the group’s upstream interests in oil and gas exploration and production in Mozambique, South Africa, Canada and Gabon.

 

E&PI sells Mozambican gas under long-term contracts to both Sasol and external customers, condensate on short-term contracts, and Canadian gas into the market at spot prices. Oil is sold to customers under annual contracts. Prices are determinable from the agreements, and on the open market.

Base Chemicals markets commodity chemicals based on the group’s upstream Fischer-Tropsch, ethylene, propylene and ammonia value chains. The key product lines are polymers, solvents and ammonia-based explosives and fertilisers. These are produced in various Sasol production facilities around the world.

 

The Base and Performance Chemicals businesses sell the majority of their products under contracts at prices determinable from such agreements. Turnover is recognised upon delivery to the customer which, in accordance with the related contract terms, is the point at which the title and risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the customer. Prices are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Turnover on consignment sales is recognised on consumption by the customer, when title and the risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer.

 

The date of delivery is determined in accordance with the contractual agreements entered into with customers which are as follows:

 

Delivery terms

 

Title and risks, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer:

Energy

 

Energy is responsible for the sales and marketing of liquid fuels, pipeline gas and electricity. In South Africa, Energy sells approximately nine billion litres of liquid fuels annually, blended from fuel components produced by the Secunda Synfuels operations, crude oil refined at Natref, as well as some products purchased from other refiners. Energy markets approximately 55 billion of standard cubic feet (bscf) of natural and methane-rich gas a year.

 

Energy sells liquid fuel products under both short- and long-term agreements for both retail sales and commercial sales, including sales to other oil companies. The prices for retail sales are regulated and fixed by South African law. For commercial sales and sales to other oil companies, the prices are fixed and determinable according to the specific contract, with periodic price adjustments.

 

Turnover for the supply of fuel is based on measurement through a flow-meter into customers’ tanks. Turnover is recognised under the following arrangements:

 

Delivery terms

 

Title and risks, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer:

Commercial sales transactions and sales to other oil companies

 

The risks and rewards of ownership, as well as the title of the product, transfer to the customer when product is delivered to the customer site. This is the point where collectability is reasonably assured.

Dealer-owned supply agreements and franchise agreements

 

The risks and rewards of ownership of the product transfer to the customer upon delivery of the product to the customer. Title under these contracts is retained to enable recovery of the goods in the event of a customer default on payment. However, the title to the goods does not enable the group to dispose of the product or rescind the transaction, and cannot prevent the customer from selling the product.

 

Transportation and handling costs are included in turnover when billed to customers in conjunction with the sale of a product. The related costs of sales are recognised in the same period as the turnover.

 

Gas is sold under long-term contracts at a price determinable from the supply agreements. Turnover is recognised at the intake flange of the customer where it is metered, which is the point at which the title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer, and where prices are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Gas analysis and tests of the specifications and content are performed prior to delivery.

 

The Energy business also develops, implements and manages the group’s international business ventures based on Sasol’s proprietary gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. Sasol holds 49% in ORYX GTL in Qatar, and an indirect 10% share in Escravos GTL in Nigeria.

 

Turnover is derived from the sale of goods produced by the operating facilities and is recognised when, in accordance with the related contract terms, the title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer. Prices are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Shipping and handling costs are included in turnover when billed to customers in conjunction with the sale of the products. Turnover is also derived from the rendering of engineering services to external partners in joint ventures upon proof of completion of the service.
