MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Third Quarter of 2015—Solid Results and Progress on Execution Priorities Despite Continued Challenging Environment
Citi’s third quarter of 2015 reflected solid overall results and steady progress on its execution priorities, including:
• | Efficient resource allocation and disciplined expense management: Citi maintained disciplined expense management during the third quarter of 2015, even as it continued to absorb increased regulatory and compliance costs in Citicorp. Citi’s expense management in the current quarter was further aided by lower legal and related expenses and lower repositioning expenses in Citicorp as compared to the prior-year period, as discussed further below. |
• | Continued wind down of Citi Holdings, while maintaining profitability: Citi continued to wind down Citi Holdings, including reducing its assets by $27 billion, or 20%, from the prior-year period. In addition, as of September 30, 2015, Citi had executed agreements to sell approximately $37 billion of additional assets in Citi Holdings, including OneMain Financial (for additional information, see “Citi Holdings” below). As discussed further below, Citi Holdings also maintained profitability in the third quarter of 2015. |
• | Utilization of deferred tax assets (DTAs): Citi utilized approximately $2.1 billion in DTAs during the first nine months of 2015, including approximately $700 million during the third quarter of 2015 (for additional information, see “Income Taxes” below). |
Citi was able to achieve these results and make ongoing progress on its execution priorities during a quarter with continued market volatility and uncertainties, including macroeconomic uncertainties, slower global growth and market volatility resulting from, among other things, expectations as to when U.S. interest rates may begin to rise. For more information on these and other ongoing trends and risks that could impact Citi’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition, see the discussion of each businesses’ results of operations, “Forward-Looking Statements” and Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements below, as well as the “Risk Factors” section of Citi’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Third Quarter of 2015 Summary Results
Citigroup
Citigroup reported net income of $4.3 billion or $1.35 per diluted share, compared to $2.8 billion or $0.88 per share in the prior-year period. Results in the third quarter of 2015 included $196 million ($127 million after-tax) of CVA/DVA, compared to negative $371 million (negative $228 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2014.
Excluding the impact of CVA/DVA in both periods, Citi reported net income of $4.2 billion in the third quarter of 2015, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to $3.1 billion, or $0.95 per share, in the prior-year period. (Citi’s results of operations excluding the impact of CVA/DVA are a non-GAAP financial measure.) The 36% increase from the prior-year period was primarily driven by lower expenses, lower net credit losses and a lower effective tax rate (for additional information, see “Income Taxes” below), partially offset by lower revenues and a reduced net loan loss reserve release.
Citi’s revenues, net of interest expense, were $18.7 billion in the third quarter of 2015, a decrease of 5% from the prior-year period. Excluding CVA/DVA, revenues were $18.5 billion, down 8% from the prior-year period, as Citicorp revenues decreased by 5% and Citi Holdings revenues decreased 32%. Excluding CVA/DVA and the impact of foreign exchange translation into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes (FX translation), Citigroup revenues decreased 2% from the prior-year period, as a 1% increase in Citicorp revenues was more than offset by the decrease in Citi Holdings revenues. (Citi’s results of operations excluding the impact of FX translation are non-GAAP financial measures.)
Expenses
Citigroup expenses decreased 18% versus the third quarter of 2014 to $10.7 billion driven by lower legal and related expenses ($376 million compared to $1.6 billion in the prior-year period) and repositioning costs ($81 million compared to $382 million in the prior-year period), as well as the impact of FX translation (which lowered expenses by approximately $759 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the prior-year period). Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup’s expenses declined 13%, mainly driven by the lower legal and related expenses and repositioning costs.
Excluding the impact of FX translation on Citicorp, which lowered reported expenses by approximately $698 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the prior-year period, Citicorp expenses decreased 13% mainly driven by significantly lower legal and related expenses and repositioning costs. Citicorp expenses in the third quarter of 2015 included legal and related expenses of $259 million, compared to $1.4 billion in the prior-year period, and $41 million of repositioning charges, compared to $370 million in the prior-year period.
Citi Holdings’ expenses were $1.1 billion, down 15% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by the ongoing decline in Citi Holdings assets.
Credit Costs
Citi’s total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims of $1.8 billion increased 5% from the prior-year period, as a lower net loan loss reserve release was partially offset by lower net credit losses.
Net credit losses of $1.7 billion declined 21% versus the prior-year period. Consumer net credit losses declined 24% to $1.6 billion, reflecting continued improvements in North
4
America Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services in Citicorp as well as the North America mortgage portfolio within Citi Holdings. Corporate net credit losses increased to $46 million from negative $18 million in the prior-year period, with the increase related to a limited number of corporate loans.
The net release of the allowance for loan losses and unfunded lending commitments was $16 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to a $552 million release in the prior-year period. Citicorp’s net reserve build was $212 million, compared to a net loan loss reserve release of $414 million in the prior-year period. The build in the third quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by net loan loss reserve builds in the Institutional Clients Group (ICG), including approximately $140 million for energy and energy-related exposures (for additional information, see “Institutional Clients Group” and “Credit Risk” below). Citi Holdings’ net reserve release increased $90 million from the prior-year period to $228 million, primarily reflecting the impact of asset sales.
For additional information on Citi’s credit costs and allowance for loan losses, including delinquency trends in its credit portfolios, see “Credit Risk” below.
Capital
Citi continued to grow its regulatory capital during the third quarter of 2015, even as it returned approximately $2.1 billion of capital to its shareholders in the form of common stock repurchases and dividends. Citigroup’s Tier 1 Capital and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratios, on a fully implemented basis, were 12.9% and 11.7% as of September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to 11.4% and 10.6% as of September 30, 2014 (all based on the Basel III Advanced Approaches for determining risk-weighted assets). Citigroup’s Supplementary Leverage ratio as of September 30, 2015, on a fully implemented basis, was 6.9%, compared to 6.0% as of September 30, 2014. For additional information on Citi’s capital ratios and related components, including the impact of Citi’s DTAs on its capital ratios, see “Capital Resources” and “Income Taxes” below.
Citicorp
Citicorp net income increased 62% from the prior-year period to $4.3 billion. CVA/DVA, recorded in ICG, was $221 million ($143 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2015, compared to negative $316 million (negative $194 million after-tax) in the prior-year period (for a summary of CVA/DVA by business within ICG, see “Institutional Clients Group” below).
Excluding CVA/DVA, Citicorp’s net income was $4.1 billion, up 46% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by lower expenses and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by lower revenues and the higher cost of credit.
Citicorp revenues, net of interest expense, decreased 2% from the prior-year period to $17.3 billion. Excluding CVA/DVA, Citicorp revenues were $17.1 billion in the third quarter of 2015, down 5% from the prior-year period, reflecting a 3% decline in ICG and an 8% decrease in Global Consumer Banking (GCB) revenues. As referenced above, excluding CVA/DVA and the impact of FX translation, Citicorp’s revenues grew 1%.
GCB revenues of $8.5 billion decreased 8% versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, GCB revenues decreased 1%, as decreases in North America GCB and Asia GCB were partially offset by an increase in Latin America GCB. North America GCB revenues decreased 4% to $4.8 billion, as lower revenues in Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services were partially offset by higher retail banking revenues. Citi-branded cards revenues of $1.9 billion were down 9% versus the prior-year period, reflecting the continued impact of lower average loans as well as an increase in acquisition and rewards costs related to new account acquisitions. Citi retail services revenues of $1.6 billion declined 2% versus the prior-year period, reflecting the continued impact of lower fuel prices and higher contractual partner payments. Retail banking revenues increased 3% from the prior-year period to $1.3 billion, reflecting continued loan and deposit growth and improved deposit spreads, partially offset by a lower mortgage repurchase reserve release as compared to the prior-year period. North America GCB average deposits of $172 billion increased 1% year-over-year and average retail loans of $50 billion grew 7%. Average card loans of $107 billion decreased 2%, while purchase sales of $66 billion increased 5% versus the prior-year period. For additional information on the results of operations of North America GCB for the third quarter of 2015, see “Global Consumer Banking—North America GCB” below.
International GCB revenues (consisting of EMEA GCB, Latin America GCB and Asia GCB) decreased 13% versus the prior-year period to $3.6 billion. Excluding the impact of FX translation, international GCB revenues increased 2% versus the prior-year period. Latin America GCB revenues increased 11% versus the prior-year period, including a gain of approximately $180 million related to the sale of Citi’s merchant acquiring business in Mexico. Excluding the gain, Latin America GCB revenues were approximately unchanged from the prior-year period, as modest increases in loan and deposit balances were offset by the continued impact of spread compression. Asia GCB revenues declined 6% versus the prior-year period, reflecting lower investment sales revenues as well as continued high payment rates and the ongoing impact of regulatory changes in cards, partially offset by growth in lending, deposit and insurance products. For additional information on the results of operations of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB (which includes the results of operations of EMEA GCB for reporting purposes) for the third quarter of 2015, including the impact of FX translation, see “Global Consumer Banking” below. Year-over-year, international GCB average deposits of $126 billion increased 4%, average retail loans of $97 billion increased 3%, investment sales of $18 billion decreased 27%, average card loans of $25 billion increased 2% and card purchase sales of $25 billion increased 5%, all excluding the impact of FX translation.
ICG revenues were $8.6 billion in the third quarter of 2015, up 3% from the prior-year period. Excluding CVA/DVA, ICG revenues were $8.4 billion, down 3% from the prior-year period. Banking revenues of $4.0 billion, excluding CVA/DVA and the impact of mark-to-market gains on hedges related to accrual loans within corporate lending (see below),
5
decreased 7% from the prior-year period, as lower underwriting activity and advisory revenues within investment banking as well as the impact of FX translation was only partially offset by continued growth in the private bank. Investment banking revenues of $937 million decreased 25% versus the prior-year period. Advisory revenues decreased 24% from strong results in the prior-year period to $243 million. Debt underwriting revenues decreased 17% to $525 million, driven by high yield and leveraged loans, while equity underwriting decreased 43% to $169 million, reflecting lower industry-wide underwriting activity during the quarter. Private bank revenues, excluding CVA/DVA, increased 8% to $715 million from the prior-year period, driven by strong growth in managed investments revenue as well as higher loan and deposit balances.
Corporate lending revenues increased 41% to $755 million, including $352 million of mark-to-market gains on hedges related to accrual loans, compared to a $91 million gain in the prior-year period. Excluding the mark-to-market impact on hedges related to accrual loans in both periods, corporate lending revenues declined 9% versus the prior-year period to $403 million. Excluding the impact of FX translation and the mark-to-market impact of loan hedges, corporate lending revenues decreased 4% year-over-year, as growth in average loans was more than offset by the impact of lower spreads and the impact of loan sale activity. Treasury and trade solutions revenues of $1.9 billion were approximately unchanged versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, treasury and trade solutions revenues increased 7%, as continued growth in deposit balances and spreads was partially offset by lower trade revenues.
Markets and securities services revenues of $4.0 billion, excluding CVA/DVA, decreased 5% from the prior-year period. Fixed income markets revenues of $2.6 billion, excluding CVA/DVA, decreased 16% from the prior-year period, reflecting lower client activity levels and a less favorable trading environment versus the prior-year period. Equity markets revenues of $996 million, excluding CVA/DVA, increased 31% versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of reversing $140 million of the previously-disclosed valuation adjustment recognized in the second quarter of 2015 ($175 million), equity markets revenues increased 12% from the prior-year period driven by growth in derivatives. Securities services revenues of $513 million decreased 4% versus the prior-year period, but increased 7% excluding the impact of FX translation, reflecting increased activity and higher client balances. For additional information on the results of operations of ICG for the third quarter of 2015, including the impact of CVA/DVA on the applicable businesses, see “Institutional Clients Group” below.
Corporate/Other revenues were $218 million, a $136 million increase from the prior-year period, primarily driven by gains on debt buybacks. For additional information on the results of operations of Corporate/Other for the third quarter of 2015, see “Corporate/Other” below.
Citicorp end-of-period loans were approximately unchanged from the prior-year period at $567 billion, as consumer loans decreased 5% while corporate loans increased
4%. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citicorp loans grew 5%, with 8% growth in corporate loans and 2% growth in consumer loans.
Citi Holdings
Citi Holdings’ net income was $31 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $212 million in the prior-year period. CVA/DVA was negative $25 million (negative $16 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2015, compared to negative $55 million (negative $34 million after-tax) in the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of CVA/DVA in both periods, Citi Holdings’ net income was $47 million in the current quarter, compared to $246 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting lower revenues, partially offset by lower expenses and lower cost of credit.
Citi Holdings’ revenues decreased 32% to $1.4 billion from the prior-year period, primarily driven by a lower level of net gains on asset sales as well as the overall wind-down of the portfolio. For additional information on the results of operations of Citi Holdings in the third quarter of 2015, see “Citi Holdings” below.
At the end of the current quarter, Citi Holdings’ assets were $110 billion, 20% below the prior-year period, and represented approximately 6% of Citi’s total GAAP assets and 13% of its risk-weighted assets under Basel III (based on the Advanced Approaches for determining risk-weighted assets).

3Q15 vs. 3Q14
Net income decreased 10% due to a lower net loan loss reserve release and lower revenues, partially offset by lower expenses and lower net credit losses.
Revenues decreased 4%, reflecting lower revenues in Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services, partially offset by higher revenues in retail banking. Net interest revenue increased 1%, primarily due to continued volume growth in retail banking and improved deposit spreads, which more than offset the continued impact of lower average loans in Citi-branded cards. Non-interest revenue decreased 37%, largely driven by an increase in acquisition and rewards costs related to new account acquisitions in Citi-branded cards as well as the impact of a lower mortgage repurchase reserve release in retail banking as compared to the prior-year period (approximately $50 million). The decrease in non-interest revenues was also due to a continued decline in Citi retail services non-interest revenues, primarily reflecting higher contractual partner payments.
Retail banking revenues increased 3% due to 7% growth in average loans, 7% growth in checking deposits and the improved deposit spreads, partially offset by lower mortgage origination revenues and the lower mortgage repurchase reserve release. This growth occurred despite the fact that, consistent with GCB’s strategy, since the third quarter of 2014, North America GCB has closed or sold 116 branches (a 13% decline from the prior-year period).
Cards revenues declined 6% due to a 2% decrease in average loans, partially offset by a 5% increase in purchase sales. In Citi-branded cards, revenues decreased 9%, primarily reflecting the increase in acquisition and rewards costs related to new account acquisitions and the continued impact of lower average loans (down 3%), partially offset by an 8% increase in purchase sales. The modest decline in average loans was driven primarily by continued high customer payment rates. North America GCB expects these trends in its Citi-branded cards businesses to continue in the near term.
Citi retail services revenues declined 2% driven by the continued impact of lower fuel prices and higher contractual partner payments, as the business continued to share the benefits of higher yields and lower net credit losses with its retail partners, partially offset by the impact of higher spreads and volumes. Purchase sales in Citi retail services increased 1% from the prior-year period, as the continued impact of lower fuel prices was offset by volume growth.
Expenses decreased 6%, primarily due to ongoing cost reduction initiatives, including as a result of the branch rationalization strategy, and lower repositioning charges, partially offset by increased investment spending in Citi-branded cards.
Provisions increased 20% due to lower net loan loss reserve releases (82%), partially offset by lower net credit losses (14%). Net credit losses declined in Citi-branded cards (down 16% to $443 million) and in Citi retail services (down 12% to $401 million). The lower net loan loss reserve release reflected continued stabilization in the cards portfolios.
2015 YTD vs. 2014 YTD
Year-to-date, North America GCB has experienced similar trends to those described above. Net income was unchanged, as lower expenses and lower net credit losses were offset by a lower net loan loss reserve release.
Revenues were unchanged, as higher revenues in retail banking were offset by lower revenues in Citi-branded cards. Retail banking revenues increased 11%, primarily due to the same factors described above. Cards revenues decreased 3%, as Citi-branded cards revenues decreased 5%, driven by the same factors described above. Citi retail services revenues were unchanged, as the continued impact of lower fuel prices and higher contractual payments were offset by the impact of higher spreads and volumes.
Expenses decreased 5%, driven by the same factors described above.
Provisions increased 17% due to the lower net loan loss reserve releases (73%), partially offset by lower net credit losses (11%) driven by improvement in cards.

The discussion of the results of operations for Latin America GCB below excludes the impact of FX translation for all periods presented. Presentations of the results of operations, excluding the impact of FX translation, are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of certain of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.
3Q15 vs. 3Q14
Net income increased 17%, primarily due to higher revenues, partially offset by higher expenses and higher credit costs.
Revenues increased 11%, primarily due to the approximately $180 million gain on sale related to the Mexico merchant acquiring business. Excluding this gain, revenues were relatively unchanged, as the impact of modest volume growth was offset by the continued impact of spread compression, as well as continued slow economic growth in the region. Net interest revenue increased 2% due to loan and deposit growth, partially offset by the ongoing spread compression. Non-interest revenue increased 29%, primarily driven by the gain on sale related to the merchant acquiring business in Mexico.
Retail banking revenues increased 1%, excluding the gain on sale related to the merchant acquiring business, reflecting volume growth, including an increase in average loans (5%) and average deposits (4%). Cards revenues decreased 2%, primarily driven by Mexico, due to declines in average loans and slower growth in purchase sales in Mexico resulting from lower economic growth and ongoing shifts in consumer behavior, including due to the previously disclosed fiscal reforms. Latin America GCB expects cards revenues in Mexico could continue to be impacted by these trends in the near term.
Expenses increased 4%, primarily due to increased regulatory and compliance spending, mandatory salary increases in certain countries and technology infrastructure upgrades, partially offset by lower legal and related costs, lower repositioning charges and efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 16%, primarily due to a higher net loan loss reserve build, partially offset by a 1% decline in net credit losses. The net loan loss reserve build increased by $63 million in part due to a weaker macroeconomic environment in Brazil. Despite this increase and the continued weaker economic environment in Brazil, Citi does not currently expect its consumer exposure in Brazil will have a material impact on its overall GCB cost of credit going forward (for additional information on Citi’s consumer exposures in Brazil, see “Managing Global Risk—Country Risk” below).
Argentina/Venezuela
For additional information on Citi’s exposures and risks in Argentina and Venezuela, see “Risk Factors” in Citi’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Managing Global Risk—Country Risk” below.
2015 YTD vs. 2014 YTD
Year-to-date, Latin America GCB has experienced similar trends to those described above. Net income increased 4%, primarily due to higher revenues, partially offset by higher expenses.
Revenues increased 5%, primarily due to the gain on sale related to the merchant acquiring business in Mexico. Excluding this gain, revenues increased 1%, as volume growth (3% increase in average loans and 5% increase in average deposits) was partially offset by the impact of business divestitures in the prior-year period, including the sale of the Honduras consumer business in the second quarter of 2014 and the partial sale of Citi’s indirect investment in Banco de Chile in the first quarter of 2014. Net interest revenue increased 3% due to loan and deposit growth, partially offset by ongoing spread compression and the impact of the business divestitures in the prior-year period. Non-interest revenue increased 7%, primarily due to the gain on sale related to the merchant acquiring business in Mexico, partially offset by the impact of the business divestitures in the prior-year period. Retail banking revenues increased 8%, mainly driven by the net impact of the gain on sale related to the merchant acquiring business in Mexico and the partial sale of Citi’s indirect investment in Banco de Chile in the prior-year period. Cards revenues declined 1%, driven by the same factors described above.
Expenses increased 4%, driven by the factors described above.
Provisions were unchanged, as a lower net loan loss reserve build, was offset by higher net credit losses. Net credit losses increased 5%, primarily driven by portfolio growth. The net loan loss reserve build declined 32% due to a lower build related to Mexico cards, partially offset by higher builds in Brazil.

For a reconciliation of certain of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.
3Q15 vs. 3Q14
Net income decreased 15%, primarily due to lower revenues, partially offset by lower expenses and lower credit costs.
Revenues decreased 6% driven by an industry-wide slowdown in activity in the region during the quarter, reflecting changes in consumer sentiment due to slowing economic growth and volatility in the capital markets. Non-interest revenue decreased 14%, primarily due to lower investment sales revenues. Net interest revenue decreased 2% driven by the ongoing impact of regulatory changes and continued spread compression in cards.
Retail banking revenues decreased 5%, primarily due to a 20% decline in investment sales driven by the market and consumer sentiment factors described above, partially offset by increased lending (2% increase in average loans) and deposit products (4% increase in average deposits) and higher insurance fee revenues.
Cards revenues decreased 8%, primarily due to continued high payment rates, spread compression and the ongoing impact of regulatory changes, particularly in Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, Malaysia and Poland. While purchase sales grew 3% and average loans grew 3%, such growth was negatively impacted by the continued high payment rates. Asia GCB expects these negative impacts to cards revenues could continue in the near term.
Expenses decreased 2%, largely due to lower repositioning charges and efficiency savings, partially offset by higher regulatory and compliance costs.
Provisions decreased 18%, primarily due to a higher net loan loss reserve release, primarily in Malaysia and Korea, partially offset by higher net credit losses driven by portfolio growth.

Year-to-date, Asia GCB has experienced similar trends to those described above. Net income increased 6%, primarily due to lower expenses and lower credit costs, partially offset by lower revenues.
Revenues decreased 2%. Non-interest revenue decreased 4%, primarily driven by lower fee revenues. Net interest revenue decreased 1%, driven by the same factors described above.

Cards revenues decreased 6%, driven by the same factors described above.
Expenses decreased 5%, largely due to lower repositioning charges, including the absence of approximately $270 million of repositioning charges in Korea in the second quarter of 2014, and efficiency savings, partially offset by higher regulatory and compliance costs, investment spending and volume-related growth.
Provisions decreased 11%, primarily due to a higher net loan loss reserve release and modestly lower net credit losses.

INSTITUTIONAL CLIENTS GROUP
Institutional Clients Group (ICG) provides corporate, institutional, public sector and high-net-worth clients around the world with a full range of wholesale banking products and services, including fixed income and equity sales and trading, foreign exchange, prime brokerage, derivative services, equity and fixed income research, corporate lending, investment banking and advisory services, private banking, cash management, trade finance and securities services. ICG transacts with clients in both cash instruments and derivatives, including fixed income, foreign currency, equity and commodity products.
ICG revenue is generated primarily from fees and spreads associated with these activities. ICG earns fee income for assisting clients in clearing transactions, providing brokerage and investment banking services and other such activities. Revenue generated from these activities is recorded in Commissions and fees and Investment banking. In addition, as a market maker, ICG facilitates transactions, including holding product inventory to meet client demand, and earns the differential between the price at which it buys and sells the products. These price differentials and the unrealized gains and losses on the inventory are recorded in Principal transactions. Interest income earned on inventory and loans held less interest paid to customers on deposits is recorded as Net interest revenue. Revenue is also generated from transaction processing and assets under custody and administration.
ICG’s international presence is supported by trading floors in approximately 80 countries and a proprietary network in over 95 countries and jurisdictions. At September 30, 2015, ICG had approximately $1.3 trillion of assets and $595 billion of deposits, while two of its businesses, securities services and issuer services, managed approximately $14.9 trillion of assets under custody compared to $15.0 trillion at the end of the prior-year period.
