*** Excludes deferred tax assets and post-retirement benefit assets. Reporting segments The group’s operating model comprises of two distinct businesses, Energy and Chemicals. The Energy Business manages the marketing and sales of all fuel,coal, gas and oil products in Southern Africa. The Chemicals Business includes the marketing and sales of all chemical products in Africa, America and Eurasia. The operating model structure reflects how the results are reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM for Sasol is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Energy Business reportable segments are operating segments that are differentiated by the activities that each undertakes and the products they manufacture and market. The Chemicals Business reportable segments are differentiated by the regions in which they operate. The group has six main reportable segments that reflect the structure used by the President and Chief Executive Officer to make key operating decisions and assess performance. The group evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on earnings before interest and tax (EBIT). ​ Energy Business The Energy Business operates integrated value chains with feedstock sourced from the Mining and Gas operating segments and processed at our operations in Secunda, Sasolburg and Natref. There are also associated assets outside South Africa which include the Pande-Temane Petroleum Production Agreement (PPA) in Mozambique and ORYX GTL (gas to liquids) in Qatar. 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 Operations, for utility purposes to Sasolburg Operations and to third parties in the export market. Coal is supplied to Secunda Operations on arms-length terms and to Sasolburg operations based on a long-term supply contract with inflation linked escalation. The price of export coal is based on the Free on Board Richards Bay index. 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 |  | Control passes to the customer
On delivery | ​ | At the point in time when the coal is delivered to the customer.
​ | ​ | ​
Free on Board | ​ | At the point in time when the coal is loaded onto the vessel at Richards Bay Coal Terminal; the customer is responsible for shipping and handling costs.
​ Gas The Gas segment reflects the upstream feedstock, transport of gas through the ROMPCO pipeline, and external natural and methane rich gas sales. Mozambican gas is sold under long-term contracts to both the Secunda and Sasol operations and to external customers. Condensate is sold on short-term contracts. In South Africa, gas is sold under long-term contracts at a price determinable from the supply agreements in accordance with the pricing methodology used by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA). Analysis of gas and tests of the specifications and content are performed prior to delivery. Canadian gas is sold into the market at spot prices. Turnover from all gas sales is recognised on delivery. ​
| ​ |
Delivery terms |  | Control passes to the customer
​ | ​ | ​
On-delivery | ​ | At the point in time when the:
​ | ​ | · Gas reaches the inlet coupling of the customer’s pipeline.
​ | ​ | · Condensate is loaded onto the customer’s truck.
​ | ​ | These are the points when the customer controls the gas, condensate or oil, or directs the use of it. The customer is responsible for transportation and handling costs in terms of gas, condensate and oil.
​ Fuels The Fuels segment comprises the sales and marketing of liquid fuels produced in South Africa. Sasol supplies approximately 40% of South Africa's domestic fuel need through retail and wholesale channels. Liquid fuels are blended from fuel components produced by the Secunda Operations, crude oil refined at Natref, as well as some products purchased from other refiners. Liquid fuel products are sold under both short- and long-term agreements for both retail sales and commercial sales, including sales to other oil companies. Liquid fuel prices are mainly driven by the Basic Fuel Price (BFP). Sales through wholesale is at BFP plus costs such as transportation and storage. 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 is recognised as follows:
| ​ |
Delivery terms |  | Control passes to the customer:
​ | ​ | ​
On-delivery | ​ | At the point in time when the fuel is delivered onto the rail tank car, road tank truck or into the pipeline.

Sasol holds 49% in ORYX GTL in Qatar. ​ Chemicals Business Chemical products are grouped into Advanced Materials, Base Chemicals, Essential Care Chemicals and Performance Solutions. The Chemicals Businesses sell the majority of their products under contracts at prices determinable from such agreements.
