(1)    Goodwill allocated primarily to the Australia and the Philippines consumer banking businesses, which were reclassified as HFS during 2021. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test using data as of July 1, 2021, at the level below each operating segment (referred to as a reporting unit). The fair values of the Company’s reporting units as a percentage of their carrying values ranged from approximately 125% to 153%, resulting in no impairment. While the inherent risk related to uncertainty is embedded in the key assumptions used in the valuations, the economic and business environments continue to evolve as management implements its strategic refresh, which includes, among others, the exits of consumer businesses in 13 markets in Asia and EMEA, as well as the exit of the Mexico consumer, small business and middle-market banking operations, and Citi’s implementation of its new operating segment and reporting unit structure in the first quarter of 2022. If management’s future estimate of key economic and market assumptions were to differ from its current assumptions, Citi could potentially experience material goodwill impairment charges in the future. Citi expects that the implementation of its new operating segments and reporting units in the first quarter of 2022, as well as the timing and sequencing of the sales of its Asia consumer banking businesses, may result in goodwill impairment.
For additional information regarding Citi’s goodwill impairment testing process, see the following Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements: Note 1 for Citi’s accounting policy for goodwill, and Note 3 for a description of Citi’s operating segments.
