We evaluate our investments and transactions to identify variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. We hold a variable interest in the following joint ventures for which we are the primary beneficiary:

​

During the first quarter of 2020, there were no changes in our variable interest entities.

​

Sasol-Huntsman was our 50%-owned joint venture with Sasol that owned and operated a maleic anhydride facility in Moers, Germany. On September 30, 2019, we acquired the 50% noncontrolling interest that we did not own in Sasol-Huntsman. As such, as of September 30, 2019, Sasol-Huntsman was no longer accounted for as a variable interest entity.

​

Creditors of these entities have no recourse to our general credit. See “Note 7. Debt—Direct and Subsidiary Debt.” As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities at March 31, 2020, the joint ventures’ assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

​

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of our variable interest entities’ assets and liabilities included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 (dollars in millions):
