As of December 31, 2016, the amount reflected in Corporate is allocated to Arconic’s three reportable segments ($60 to Global Rolled Products, $253 to Engineered Products and Solutions, and $18 to Transportation and Construction Solutions) for purposes of impairment testing (see Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets policy in Note A). This goodwill is reflected in Corporate for segment reporting purposes because it is not included in management’s assessment of performance by the three reportable segments.
