(1)    The definition of maximum exposure to loss is included in the text that follows this table.
(2)    Included on Citigroup’s December 31, 2025 and 2024 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3)    A significant unconsolidated VIE is an entity in which the Company has any variable interest or continuing involvement considered to be significant, regardless of the likelihood of loss.
(4)    Citigroup mortgage securitizations also include agency and non-agency (private label) re-securitization activities. These SPEs are not consolidated. See “Re-securitizations” below for further discussion.
(5)    Included within this line are loans to third-party-sponsored private equity funds, which represent $138.7 billion and $45.5 billion in unconsolidated VIE assets and $1.7 billion and $824 million in maximum exposure to loss as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The following tables present assets and liabilities related to consolidated VIEs, which are included on Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets can only be used to settle obligations of consolidated VIEs. In addition, the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs include only third-party balances and exclude intercompany balances that eliminate in consolidation. The liabilities also exclude amounts where creditors or beneficial interest holders have recourse to the general credit of Citigroup.

(1)    Disclosure of non-agency-sponsored mortgages as senior and subordinated interests is indicative of the interests’ position in the capital structure of the securitization.
(2)    Retained interests consist of Level 2 and Level 3 assets depending on the observability of significant inputs. See Note 26 for more information about fair value measurements.
Schedule of key assumptions used in measuring fair value of retained interest at the date of sale or securitization of mortgage receivables
Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of retained interests at the date of sale or securitization of mortgage receivables were as follows:

Weighted-average life6.8 years3.2 years7.5 years

(1)    Disclosure of non-agency-sponsored mortgages as senior and subordinated interests is indicative of the interests’ position in the capital structure of the securitization.
(2)    Anticipated net credit losses represent estimated loss severity associated with defaulted mortgage loans underlying the mortgage securitizations disclosed above. Anticipated net credit losses, in this instance, do not represent total credit losses incurred to date, nor do they represent credit losses expected on retained interests in mortgage securitizations.
NM Anticipated net credit losses are not meaningful due to U.S. agency guarantees.
Schedule of key assumptions used to value retained interests and sensitivity of adverse changes of 10% and 20%, mortgage securitizations Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of retained interests in securitizations of mortgage receivables at period end were as follows:

(1)    Disclosure of non-agency-sponsored mortgages as senior and subordinated interests is indicative of the interests’ position in the capital structure of the securitization.
(2)    Anticipated net credit losses represent estimated loss severity associated with defaulted mortgage loans underlying the mortgage securitizations. Anticipated net credit losses, in this instance, do not represent total credit losses incurred to date, nor do they represent credit losses expected on retained interests in mortgage securitizations.
NM    Anticipated net credit losses are not meaningful due to U.S. agency guarantees.
The sensitivity of the fair value to adverse changes of 10% and 20% in each of the key assumptions is presented in the tables below. The negative effect of each change is calculated independently, holding all other assumptions constant. Because the key assumptions may not be independent, the net effect of simultaneous adverse changes in the key assumptions may be less than the sum of the individual effects presented below.
