Significant Disposals
As of March 31, 2023, Citi had entered into sale agreements for nine consumer banking businesses within Legacy Franchises. Australia closed in the second quarter of 2022, the Philippines closed in the third quarter of 2022, Bahrain, Malaysia and Thailand closed in the fourth quarter of 2022, and India and Vietnam closed in the first quarter of 2023. Entry of sale agreements for the Taiwan and Indonesia consumer banking businesses has resulted in the reclassification to HFS on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of approximately $14 billion in assets within Other assets, including approximately $8 billion of loans (net of allowance of $66 million), and approximately $11 billion in liabilities within Other liabilities, including approximately $11 billion in deposits. Of the nine sale agreements, the five below were identified as significant disposals as of March 31, 2023. The Taiwan sale has yet to close and is subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.

(1)    Loans, net of allowance as of March 31, 2023 includes $24 million for Taiwan.
(2)    On June 1, 2022, Citi completed the sale of its Australia consumer banking business, which was part of Legacy Franchises. The business had approximately $9.4 billion in assets, including $9.3 billion of loans (net of allowance of $140 million) and excluding goodwill. The total amount of liabilities was $7.3 billion including $6.8 billion in deposits. The transaction generated a pretax loss on sale of approximately $760 million ($640 million after-tax), subject to closing adjustments, recorded in Other revenue. The loss on sale primarily reflected the impact of an approximate pretax $620 million CTA loss (net of hedges) ($470 million after-tax) already reflected in the AOCI component of equity. The sale closed on June 1, 2022, and the CTA-related balance was removed from AOCI, resulting in a neutral CTA impact to Citi’s CET1 Capital. The income before taxes shown in the above table for Australia reflects Citi’s ownership through June 1, 2022.
(3)    On August 1, 2022, Citi completed the sale of its Philippines consumer banking business, which was part of Legacy Franchises. The business had approximately $1.8 billion in assets, including $1.2 billion of loans (net of allowance of $80 million) and excluding goodwill. The total amount of liabilities was $1.3 billion, including $1.2 billion in deposits. The sale resulted in a pretax gain on sale of approximately $618 million ($290 million after-tax), subject to closing adjustments, recorded in Other revenue. The income before taxes shown in the above table for the Philippines reflects Citi’s ownership through August 1, 2022.
(4)    On November 1, 2022, Citi completed the sale of its Thailand consumer banking business, which was part of Legacy Franchises. The business had approximately $2.7 billion in assets, including $2.4 billion of loans (net of allowance of $67 million) and excluding goodwill. The total amount of liabilities was $1.0 billion, including $0.8 billion in deposits. The sale resulted in a pretax gain on sale of approximately $209 million ($115 million after-tax), subject to closing adjustments, recorded in Other revenue. The income before taxes shown in the above table for Thailand reflects Citi’s ownership through November 1, 2022.
(5)    On March 1, 2023, Citi completed the sale of its India consumer banking business, which was part of Legacy Franchises. The business had approximately $5.2 billion in assets, including $3.4 billion of loans (net of allowance of $32 million) and excluding goodwill. The total amount of liabilities was $5.2 billion, including $5.1 billion in deposits. The sale resulted in a pretax gain on sale of approximately $1.1 billion ($727 million after-tax), subject to closing adjustments, recorded in Other revenue. The income before taxes shown in the above table for India reflects Citi’s ownership through March 1, 2023.
(6)    This sale is expected to result in an after-tax gain upon closing.
(7)    Income before taxes for the period in which the individually significant component was classified as HFS for all prior periods presented. For Australia, excludes the pretax loss on sale. For the Philippines, Thailand and India, excludes the pretax gain on sale.
Citi did not have any other significant disposals as of March 31, 2023. As of May 5, 2023, Citi had not entered into sale agreements for the remaining Legacy Franchises businesses to be sold, specifically the Poland consumer banking business and the Mexico Consumer/SBMM businesses.

Other Business Exits

Wind-Down of Korea Consumer Banking Business
On October 25, 2021, Citi disclosed its decision to wind down and close its Korea consumer banking business, which is reported in the Legacy Franchises operating segment. In connection with the announcement, Citibank Korea Inc. (CKI) commenced a voluntary early termination program (Korea VERP). Due to the voluntary nature of this termination program, no liabilities for termination benefits are recorded until CKI makes formal offers to employees that are then irrevocably accepted by those employees. Related charges are recorded as Compensation and benefits.
The following table summarizes the reserve charges related to the Korea VERP and other initiatives reported in the Legacy Franchises operating segment and Corporate/Other:

The total cash charges for the wind-down were $1.1 billion through 2022, most of which were recognized in 2021. Citi does not expect to record any additional charges in connection with the Korea VERP.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citi’s 2022 Form 10-K for details on the pension impact of the Korea wind-down.

Wind-Down of Russia Consumer and Institutional Banking Businesses
On August 25, 2022, Citi announced its decision to wind down its consumer banking and local commercial banking operations in Russia. As part of the wind-down, Citi is also actively pursuing sales of certain Russian consumer banking portfolios.
On October 14, 2022, Citi disclosed that it will be ending nearly all of the institutional banking services it offers in Russia by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Going forward, Citi’s only operations in Russia will be those necessary to fulfill its remaining legal and regulatory obligations.
On December 12, 2022, Citi completed the sale of a portfolio of ruble-denominated personal installment loans, totaling approximately $240 million in outstanding loan balances, to Uralsib, a Russian commercial bank, resulting in a pretax net loss of approximately $12 million. The net loss on sale of the loan portfolio included a $32 million adjustment to record the loans at lower of cost or fair value recognized in Other revenue. In addition, the sale of the loans resulted in a release in the allowance for credit losses on loans of approximately $20 million recognized in the Provision for credit losses on loans.
Citi’s referral agreement with a Russian bank for a portfolio of ruble-denominated credit card loans, subject to customer consents, can be terminated under certain circumstances and is being reevaluated as Citi reviews other alternatives. As a result, the credit card loans will remain held-for-investment and are not transferred to held-for-sale.
During the first quarter of 2023, Citi recorded a pretax charge of approximately $7 million and $5 million (approximately $30 million and $10 million program-to-date) as Compensation and benefits composed of severance costs, reported in Legacy Franchises and Institutional Clients Group, respectively. Citi also recorded a pretax charge of approximately $6 million (approximately $13 million program-to-date) as Other operating expenses composed of vendor termination and other costs, reported in Legacy Franchises.
In connection with this wind-down, Citi expects to incur approximately $210 million in total estimated charges ($60 million in ICG and $150 million in Legacy Franchises, excluding the impact from any portfolio sales), largely driven by restructuring, vendor termination fees and other related charges.
