MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Third Quarter of 2017—Balanced Growth Across Citi’s Franchise
As described further throughout this Executive Summary, Citi reported balanced operating results in the third quarter of 2017, reflecting continued momentum across businesses and geographies, notably many of those where Citi has been making investments. During the quarter, Citi had revenue and loan growth in both Global Consumer Banking (GCB) and the Institutional Clients Group (ICG) compared to the prior-year quarter, while continuing to wind-down legacy assets in Corporate/Other. Results during the quarter also included a $580 million pretax ($355 million after-tax) gain on the sale of a fixed income analytics business, which was included in ICG’s results.
North America GCB generated positive operating leverage driven by revenue growth in retail banking and Citi retail services as well as strong expense discipline. North America GCB’s results also included higher cost of credit, largely reflecting volume growth, seasoning and additional cards-related loan loss reserve builds. International GCB generated positive operating leverage driven by year-over-year revenue growth in both Latin America and Asia GCB, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes (FX translation). ICG had a strong quarter with revenue growth across all Banking businesses, as well as in equity markets and securities services, partially offset by a decline in fixed income markets revenues. These increases in revenues were partially offset by lower revenues in Corporate/Other, mostly reflecting the continued wind-down of legacy non-core assets.
Citi’s regulatory capital declined slightly during the quarter, as earnings growth was more than offset by the return of approximately $6.4 billion to its common shareholders in the form of common stock repurchases and dividends. Citi repurchased approximately 81 million common shares in the third quarter of 2017, as outstanding common shares declined 3% from the prior quarter and 7% from the prior-year period. Despite this capital return, each of Citigroup’s key regulatory capital metrics remained strong as of the end of the third quarter of 2017 (see “Capital” below). Citi utilized approximately $300 million of deferred tax assets (DTAs) during the quarter and $1.2 billion of its DTAs during the first nine months of 2017.
While the macroeconomic environment remains largely positive, there continues to be various economic, political and other risks and uncertainties that could impact Citi’s businesses and future results. For a more detailed discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see each respective business’s results of operations and “Forward-Looking Statements” below, as well as each respective business’s results of operations and the “Managing Global Risk” and “Risk Factors” sections in Citi’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Third Quarter of 2017 Summary Results
Citigroup
Citigroup reported net income of $4.1 billion, or $1.42 per share, compared to $3.8 billion, or $1.24 per share, in the prior-year period. The 8% increase in net income included the gain on sale, which contributed $0.13 to earnings per share. Excluding the gain, net income declined 2%, reflecting higher cost of credit, while earnings per share increased 4%, largely due to a 7% reduction in average shares outstanding. (Citi’s results of operations excluding the gain on sale are non-GAAP financial measures.)
Citigroup revenues of $18.2 billion in the third quarter of 2017 increased 2%, driven by the gain on sale as well as 3% aggregate growth in ICG and GCB, partially offset by a 55% decrease in Corporate/Other due primarily to the continued wind-down of legacy non-core assets.
Citigroup’s end-of-period loans increased 2% to $653 billion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup’s end-of-period loans also grew 2%, as 5% growth in ICG and 3% growth in GCB was partially offset by the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate/Other. (Citi’s results of operations excluding the impact of FX translation are non-GAAP financial measures.) Citigroup’s end-of-period deposits increased 3% to $964 billion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup’s deposits were up 2%, driven by a 3% increase in ICG deposits and a 1% increase in GCB deposits, slightly offset by a decline in Corporate/Other deposits.
Expenses
Citigroup’s operating expenses decreased 2% to $10.2 billion versus the prior-year period, as the impact of higher volume-related expenses and ongoing investments were more than offset by efficiency savings and the wind-down of legacy assets. Year-over-year, ICG operating expenses were up 5%, while GCB operating expenses were largely unchanged and Corporate/Other operating expenses declined 36%.
Cost of Credit
Citi’s total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims of $2.0 billion increased 15% from the prior-year period. The increase was driven by an increase in net credit losses of $252 million, primarily in North America GCB, and a net loan loss reserve build of $194 million, compared to a net build of $176 million in the prior-year period. The net loan loss reserve build in the current quarter included roughly $100 million of loan loss reserves related to the potential impact of hurricane and earthquake events, recorded in North America GCB and Latin America GCB, as well as the legacy portfolio in Corporate/Other.
Net credit losses of $1.8 billion increased 17% versus the prior-year period. Consumer net credit losses of $1.7 billion
4
increased 17%, primarily driven by the Costco portfolio acquisition, episodic charge-offs in the North America GCB commercial portfolio, which were offset by related loan loss reserve releases, and overall volume growth and seasoning in cards. The increase in consumer net credit losses was partially offset by the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate/Other. Corporate net credit losses increased 2% from the prior-year period to $43 million.
For additional information on Citi’s consumer and corporate credit costs and allowance for loan losses, see “Credit Risk” below.
Capital
Citigroup’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital and Tier 1 Capital ratios, on a fully implemented basis, were 13.0% and 14.6% as of September 30, 2017 (based on Basel III Standardized Approach for determining risk-weighted assets), respectively, compared to 12.6% and 14.2% as of September 30, 2016 (based on the Basel III Advanced Approaches for determining risk-weighted assets). Citigroup’s Supplementary Leverage ratio as of September 30, 2017, on a fully implemented basis, was 7.1%, compared to 7.4% as of September 30, 2016. 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” below.
Global Consumer Banking
GCB net income decreased 6% to $1.2 billion, as higher revenues were more than offset by higher cost of credit, while operating expenses were unchanged. Operating expenses were $4.4 billion, down 1% excluding the impact of FX translation, as higher volume-related expenses and continued investments were more than offset by ongoing efficiency savings.
GCB revenues of $8.4 billion increased 3% versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, GCB revenues increased 2%, driven by growth across all regions. North America GCB revenues increased 1% to $5.2 billion, as higher revenues in Citi retail services and retail banking were partially offset by lower revenues in Citi-branded cards. Citi-branded cards revenues of $2.2 billion decreased 1% versus the prior-year period, as the benefit of growth in full rate revolving balances in the core portfolios was outpaced by the continued run-off of non-core portfolios as well as the higher cost to fund growth in transactor and promotional balances, given higher interest rates. Citi retail services revenues of $1.7 billion increased 2% versus the prior-year period, reflecting continued loan growth. Retail banking revenues of $1.4 billion increased 1% from the prior-year period. Excluding mortgage revenues, retail banking revenues were up 12% from the prior-year period, driven by continued growth in loans and assets under management, as well as a benefit from higher interest rates.
North America GCB average deposits of $184 billion were unchanged versus the prior-year period, average retail loans of $56 billion grew 1% and assets under management of $59 billion grew 10%. Average branded card loans of $85 billion increased 8%, while branded card purchase sales of $80 billion increased 10% versus the prior-year period. Average retail services loans of $46 billion were up 5%, while
retail services purchase sales of $20 billion were up 2%. For additional information on the results of operations of North America GCB for the third quarter of 2017, see “Global Consumer Banking—North America GCB” below.
International GCB revenues (consisting of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB (which includes the results of operations in certain EMEA countries)) increased 8% to $3.2 billion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, international GCB revenues increased 5% versus the prior-year period. Latin America GCB revenues increased 4% versus the prior-year period, driven by growth in loans and deposit volumes. Asia GCB revenues increased 5% versus the prior-year period, driven by improvement in wealth management and cards revenues, partially offset by lower retail lending revenues. For additional information on the results of operations of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB for the third quarter of 2017, including the impact of FX translation, see “Global Consumer Banking—Latin America GCB” and “Global Consumer Banking—Asia GCB” below.
Year-over-year, international GCB average deposits of $124 billion increased 4%, average retail loans of $89 billion were roughly flat, assets under management of $100 billion increased 10%, average card loans of $24 billion increased 6% and card purchase sales of $25 billion increased 7%, all excluding the impact of FX translation.
Institutional Clients Group
ICG net income of $3.0 billion increased 15%, driven by higher revenues, including the $580 million ($355 million after-tax) gain on the sale of a fixed income analytics business, and a higher benefit from cost of credit, partially offset by higher operating expenses. ICG operating expenses increased 5% to $4.9 billion, as investments and volume-related expenses were partially offset by efficiency savings.
ICG revenues were $9.2 billion in the third quarter of 2017, up 9% from the prior-year period, driven by a 16% increase in Banking revenues and a 3% increase in Markets and securities services revenues, including the gain on sale. The increase in Banking revenues included the impact of $48 million of losses on loan hedges within corporate lending, compared to losses of $218 million in the prior-year period.
Banking revenues of $4.7 billion (excluding the impact of losses on loan hedges within corporate lending) increased 11% compared to the prior-year period, driven by significant growth in investment banking and the private bank as well as continued solid performance in treasury and trade solutions and corporate lending. Investment banking revenues of $1.2 billion increased 14% versus the prior-year period, reflecting continued wallet share gains across all products. Equity underwriting revenues increased 99% to $290 million, debt underwriting revenues increased 1% to $704 million while advisory revenues decreased 1% to $237 million, all versus the prior-year period.
Private bank revenues increased 15% versus the prior-year period to $785 million, driven by growth in clients, loans, investment activity and deposits, as well as improved spreads. Corporate lending revenues increased $233 million to $454 million. Excluding the impact of losses on loan hedges, corporate lending revenues increased 14% to $502 million
5
versus the prior-year period, reflecting lower hedging costs and improved loan sale activity. Treasury and trade solutions revenues increased 8% to $2.1 billion versus the prior-year period, reflecting continued volume growth and improved deposit spreads.
Markets and securities services revenues increased 3% to $4.6 billion versus the prior-year period, as a decline in fixed income markets revenues was more than offset by higher revenues in equity markets, securities services as well as the gain on sale. Fixed income markets revenues decreased 16% to $2.9 billion versus the prior-year period, primarily reflecting lower G10 rates and currencies revenues, given low volatility in the current quarter and the comparison to higher Brexit-related activity a year ago, as well as lower activity in spread products. Equity markets revenues increased 16% to $757 million versus the prior-year period, reflecting client-led growth across cash equities, derivatives and prime finance. Securities services revenues increased 12% to $599 million versus the prior-year period, driven by growth in client volumes across the custody business, along with higher interest revenue. For additional information on the results of operations of ICG for the third quarter of 2017, see “Institutional Clients Group” below.
Corporate/Other
Corporate/Other net loss was $87 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss of $48 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower revenues, partially offset by lower operating expenses and lower cost of credit. Operating expenses of $822 million declined 36% from the prior-year period, reflecting the wind-down of legacy assets and lower legal expenses.
Corporate/Other revenues were $509 million, down 55% from the prior-year period, reflecting the wind-down of legacy assets, divestitures and the impact of hedging activities.
Corporate/Other end-of-period assets decreased 4% to $100 billion from the prior-year period, as Citi continued to wind-down legacy assets. For additional information on the results of operations of Corporate/Other for the third quarter of 2017, see “Corporate/Other” below.

NORTH AMERICA GCB
North America GCB provides traditional retail banking, including commercial banking, and its Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services card products to retail customers and small- to mid-size businesses, as applicable, in the U.S. North America GCB’s U.S. cards product portfolio includes its proprietary portfolio (including the Citi Double Cash, Thank You and Value cards) and co-branded cards (including, among others, American Airlines and Costco) within Citi-branded cards as well as its co-brand and private label relationships (including, among others, Sears, The Home Depot, Macy’s and Best Buy) within Citi retail services.
As previously announced, the Hilton Honors co-brand credit card partnership with Citi was scheduled to terminate as of year-end 2017. On October 23, 2017, Citi signed an agreement to sell the Hilton credit card portfolio ($1.2 billion in outstanding loan balances in Citi-branded cards) to American Express. In connection with the sale agreement, the existing partnership was extended through the closing date. The sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018 with a pretax gain of approximately $150 million, which approximates one year of revenues from the portfolio.
As of September 30, 2017, North America GCB’s 695 retail bank branches are concentrated in the six key metropolitan areas of New York, Chicago, Miami, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and San Francisco. Also as of September 30, 2017, North America GCB had approximately 9.4 million retail banking customer accounts, $55.7 billion in retail banking loans and $185.1 billion in deposits. In addition, North America GCB had approximately 120 million Citi-branded and Citi retail services credit card accounts with $132.2 billion in outstanding card loan balances.

3Q17 vs. 3Q16
Net income decreased 16% due to higher cost of credit, partially offset by lower expenses and higher revenues.
Revenues increased 1%, reflecting higher revenues in Citi retail services and retail banking, partially offset by lower revenues in Citi-branded cards.
Retail banking revenues increased 1%. Excluding mortgage revenues (decline of 39%), retail banking revenues were up 12%, driven by continued growth in average loans (1%), and asset under management (10%), as well as a benefit from higher interest rates. The decline in mortgage revenues was driven by lower origination activity and higher cost of funds, reflecting the higher interest rate environment, as well as the impact of the previously announced sale of a portion of Citi’s mortgage servicing rights.
In Citi-branded cards, revenues decreased 1%, as the benefit of growth in full-rate revolving balances in the core portfolios was outpaced by the continued run-off of non-core portfolios as well as the higher cost to fund growth in transactor and promotional balances, given the higher interest rates. Average loans grew 8% and purchase sales grew 10%.
Citi retail services revenues increased 2%, reflecting continued loan growth, partially offset by the continued impact of the previously disclosed renewal and extension of certain partnerships within the portfolio. Average loans grew 5% and purchase sales grew 2%.
Expenses decreased 5%, as higher volume-related expenses and continued investments were more than offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 27% from the prior-year period, driven by higher net credit losses and a higher net loan loss reserve build.
Net credit losses increased 34%, largely driven by higher losses in Citi-branded cards, including the impact of acquiring the Costco portfolio, and Citi retail services. In Citi-branded cards, net credit losses increased 36% to $611 million, primarily due to the Costco portfolio acquisition, organic volume growth and seasoning. In Citi retail services, net credit losses increased 26% to $540 million, primarily due to volume growth and seasoning. The higher net credit losses also reflected episodic charge-offs in the commercial portfolio in retail banking, which were offset by related reserve releases.
The net loan loss reserve build in the third quarter of 2017 was $460 million (compared to a build of $408 million in the prior-year period), driven by a build of approximately $500 million related to the cards businesses, partially offset by a reserve release in the commercial portfolio. The loan loss reserve build included approximately $300 million related to the increase in net flow rates in the later delinquency buckets leading to higher inherent credit loss expectations primarily in Citi retail services, as well as a slight increase in delinquencies for the Citi-branded card portfolio. It also includes approximately $150 million driven by volume growth and seasoning, as well as approximately $50 million for the estimated hurricane-related impacts.
For additional information on North America GCB’s retail banking, including commercial banking, and its Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services portfolios, see “Credit Risk—Consumer Credit” below.
2017 YTD vs. 2016 YTD
Year-to-date, North America GCB has experienced similar trends to those described above. Net income decreased 20% due to higher cost of credit and higher expenses, partially offset by higher revenues.
Revenues increased 3%, reflecting higher revenues in cards, partially offset by lower revenues in retail banking. Retail banking revenues decreased 1%, driven by lower mortgage revenues, partially offset by the other factors described above. Cards revenues increased 4%. In Citi-branded cards, revenues increased 7%, driven by the impact of the Costco portfolio acquisition, partially offset by the other factors described above. Citi retail services revenues were largely unchanged, as the continued impact of the renewal and extension of certain partnerships, as well as the absence of gains on sales of two cards portfolios in the first quarter of 2016, were offset by the continued loan growth (average loans up 4%).
Expenses increased 1%, primarily driven by the addition of the Costco portfolio, volume-related expenses and continued investments, partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 29%, driven by the same factors described above. Net credit losses increased 28% and the net loan loss reserve build of $722 million increased $179 million.

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.
3Q17 vs. 3Q16
Net income decreased 5%, primarily driven by higher credit costs and expenses, partially offset by higher revenues.
Revenues increased 4%, driven by higher revenues in
retail banking and cards.
Retail banking revenues increased 5%, reflecting continued growth in volumes, including an increase in average loans (6%), largely driven by the commercial and small business portfolios as well as mortgages, an increase in average deposits (7%) and improved deposit spreads, driven by higher interest rates. While deposits continued to increase during the quarter, Latin America GCB was impacted by lower industry-wide deposit growth due to a slowing of growth in the monetary supply. Cards revenues increased 2%, reflecting continued improvement in full rate revolving loan trends, partially offset by continued higher cost to fund non-revolving loans. Purchase sales grew 5% and average card loans also grew 5%.
Expenses increased 4%, as ongoing investment spending and business growth were partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 11%, primarily driven by higher net credit losses (9%) and a higher net loan loss reserve build ($10 million), largely reflecting volume growth, seasonality and a Mexico earthquake-related loan loss reserve build (approximately $25 million).
For additional information on Latin America GCB’s retail banking, including commercial banking, and its Citi-branded cards portfolios, see “Credit Risk—Consumer Credit” below.
2017 YTD vs. 2016 YTD
Year-to-date, Latin America GCB has experienced similar trends to those described above. Net income decreased 6%, driven by the same factors described above.
Revenues increased 5%, primarily due to higher revenues in retail banking, partially offset by lower revenues in cards. Retail banking revenues increased 8%, driven by the same factors described above as well as the impact of business divestitures. Cards revenues decreased 1%, driven by the continued higher cost to fund non-revolving loans, partially offset by the continued improvement in full rate revolving loans.
Expenses increased 3%, as ongoing investment spending was partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 14%, largely driven by the same factors described above.

3Q17 vs. 3Q16
Net income increased 13%, reflecting higher revenues and lower cost of credit, partially offset by higher expenses.
Revenues increased 5%, driven by improvement in wealth management and cards revenues, partially offset by continued lower retail lending revenues.
Retail banking revenues increased 4%, primarily due to the continued improvement in wealth management revenues, partially offset by the repositioning of the retail loan portfolio. Wealth management revenues increased due to improvement in investor sentiment, stronger equity markets and increases in assets under management (14%) and investment sales (36%). Average deposits increased 3%. These increases were partially offset by the lower retail lending revenues (down 4%), reflecting continued lower average loans (1%) due to the continued optimization of this portfolio away from lower-yielding mortgage loans to focus on growing higher-return personal loans.
Cards revenues increased 6%, reflecting 6% growth in average loans and 7% growth in purchase sales, both of which benefited from the previously disclosed portfolio acquisition in Australia in the first quarter of 2017.
Expenses increased 4%, resulting from volume growth and ongoing investment spending, partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions decreased 9%, primarily driven by an increase in net loan loss reserve releases. Overall credit quality continued to remain stable in the region.

INSTITUTIONAL CLIENTS GROUP
Institutional Clients Group (ICG) includes Banking and Markets and securities services (for additional information on these businesses, see “Citigroup Segments” above). 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. Revenue is also generated from transaction processing and assets under custody and administration. Revenue generated from these activities is primarily recorded in Administration and other fiduciary fees. 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 (for additional information on Principal transactions revenue, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Other primarily includes mark-to-market gains and losses on certain credit derivatives, gains and losses on available-for-sale (AFS) securities and other non-recurring gains and losses. Interest income earned on assets held less interest paid to customers on deposits and long- and short-term debt is recorded as Net interest revenue.
The amount and types of Markets revenues are impacted by a variety of interrelated factors, including market liquidity; changes in market variables such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and credit spreads, as well as their implied volatilities; investor confidence; and other macroeconomic conditions. Assuming all other market conditions do not change, increases in client activity levels or bid/offer spreads generally result in increases in revenues. However, changes in market conditions can significantly impact client activity levels, bid/offer spreads and the fair value of product inventory. For example, a decrease in market liquidity may increase bid/offer spreads, decrease client activity levels and widen credit spreads on product inventory positions.
ICG’s management of the Markets businesses involves daily monitoring and evaluating of the above factors at the trading desk as well as the country level. ICG does not separately track the impact on total Markets revenues of the volume of transactions, bid/offer spreads, fair value changes of product inventory positions and economic hedges because, as noted above, these components are interrelated and are not deemed useful or necessary individually to manage the Markets businesses at an aggregate level.
In the Markets businesses, client revenues are those revenues directly attributable to client transactions at the time of inception, including commissions, interest or fees earned. Client revenues do not include the results of client facilitation activities (for example, holding product inventory in anticipation of client demand) or the results of certain economic hedging activities.
ICG’s international presence is supported by trading floors in approximately 80 countries and a proprietary network in 98 countries and jurisdictions. At September 30, 2017, ICG had approximately $1.4 trillion of assets and $640 billion of deposits, while two of its businesses—securities services and issuer services—managed approximately $17.1 trillion of assets under custody compared to $15.4 trillion at the end of the prior-year period.
