MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Second Quarter of 2017—Solid Performance Across Citi’s Businesses
As described further throughout this Executive Summary, Citi reported solid operating results in the second quarter of 2017, reflecting continued momentum across its businesses, notably those where Citi has been making investments. During the quarter, Citi had loan and revenue growth in both Global Consumer Banking (GCB) and the Institutional Clients Group (ICG) compared to the prior-year quarter, while continuing to wind-down the legacy assets in Corporate/Other.
In North America GCB, retail banking showed significant growth outside of mortgage operations, while Citi-branded cards continued to benefit from the acquisition of the Costco portfolio. International GCB generated positive operating leverage driven by year-over-year revenue growth in both, Latin America and Asia, 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, particularly in investment banking, partially offset by declines in fixed income and equity markets revenues. These increases in revenues were partially offset by lower revenues in Corporate/Other, reflecting the continued wind-down of legacy non-core assets.
Citi also continued to generate significant regulatory capital during the quarter driven mostly by earnings. Citi generated approximately $4.7 billion in regulatory capital during the quarter, before returning approximately $2.2 billion to its common shareholders in the form of common stock repurchases and dividends. Citi repurchased approximately 29 million common shares, as outstanding common shares declined 1% from the prior quarter and 6% 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 second quarter of 2017 (see “Capital” below). Citi utilized approximately $100 million of deferred tax assets (DTAs) during the quarter and $900 million of its DTAs during the first half of 2017.
The Federal Reserve Board did not object to the capital plan Citi submitted as part of the 2017 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR). Accordingly, as previously disclosed, Citi intends to return $18.9 billion of capital to its common shareholders over the next four quarters beginning with the third quarter of 2017 (for additional information, see “Equity Security Repurchases” and “Dividends” below).
While economic sentiment has improved, there continues to be various economic and political uncertainties and changes that could impact Citi’s businesses. 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.
 

Second Quarter of 2017 Summary Results

Citigroup
Citigroup reported net income of $3.9 billion, or $1.28 per share, compared to $4.0 billion, or $1.24 per share, in the prior-year period. The 3% decrease in net income from the prior-year period was primarily driven by higher credit costs and operating expenses, as well as a higher effective tax rate, partially offset by higher revenues. Earnings per share increased 3% largely due to a 6% reduction in average shares outstanding.
Citigroup revenues of $17.9 billion in the second quarter of 2017 increased 2%, driven by a 6% increase in ICG, as well as a 5% increase in GCB, partially offset by a 45% 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 $645 billion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup’s end-of-period loans also grew 2%, as 4% growth in both GCB and ICG 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 2% to $959 billion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup’s deposits were also up 2%, driven by a 3% increase in both GCB and ICG deposits, slightly offset by a decline in Corporate/Other deposits.

Expenses
Citigroup’s operating expenses were up slightly at $10.5 billion versus the prior-year period, as the impact of higher volume-related expenses, performance-based compensation and ongoing investments were partially offset by efficiency savings and the wind-down of legacy assets. Year-over-year, GCB and ICG operating expenses were up each 5% while Corporate/Other operating expenses declined 24%.

Cost of Credit
Citi’s total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims of $1.7 billion increased 22% from the prior-year period. The increase was driven by an increase in net credit losses of $94 million and a net loan loss reserve release of $16 million, compared to a net release of $256 million mostly related to legacy assets in the prior-year period.
Net credit losses of $1.7 billion increased 6% versus the prior-year period. Consumer net credit losses of $1.6 billion increased 11%, primarily driven by the Costco portfolio acquisition, organic volume growth and seasoning, and the impact of changes in collections processes in the North America cards businesses, partially offset by the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate/Other. Corporate net credit losses decreased 45% from the prior-year period to $77 million, driven by improvement in the energy sector. Citi

expects consumer cost of credit to increase in the near term due to continued volume growth.
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 13.1% and 14.7% as of June 30, 2017 (based on Basel III Standardized Approach for determining risk-weighted assets), respectively, compared to 12.5% and 14.1% as of June 30, 2016 (based on the Basel III Advanced Approaches for determining risk-weighted assets). Citigroup’s Supplementary Leverage ratio as of June 30, 2017, on a fully implemented basis, was 7.2%, compared to 7.5% as of June 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 12% to $1.1 billion, as higher revenues were more than offset by higher cost of credit and higher operating expenses. Operating expenses were $4.5 billion, an increase of 5% on both a reported basis and excluding the impact of FX, driven by the addition of the Costco portfolio, volume growth and continued investments, partially offset by ongoing efficiency savings.
GCB revenues of $8.0 billion increased 5% versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, GCB revenues also increased 5%, driven by a 5% increase in both North America GCB and international GCB. North America GCB revenues increased 5% to $4.9 billion, as higher revenues in Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services were partially offset by lower revenues in retail banking, driven by lower mortgage revenues. Citi-branded cards revenues of $2.1 billion were up 10% versus the prior-year period, reflecting the impact of the Costco portfolio acquisition as well as modest organic growth in core portfolios, partially offset by the run-off of non-core portfolios. Citi retail services revenues of $1.6 billion increased 4% versus the prior-year period, reflecting continued loan growth and a favorable prior period comparison. Retail banking revenues decreased 2% from the prior-year period, mainly driven by the lower mortgage revenues. Excluding mortgage revenues, retail banking revenues were up 7% from the prior-year period, driven by continued growth in average loans, deposits and assets under management, as well as a benefit from higher interest rates.
North America GCB average deposits of $185 billion were up 2% versus the prior-year period, average retail loans of $56 billion grew 2%, and assets under management of $57 billion grew 10%. Average branded card loans of $83 billion increased 25%, while branded card purchase sales of $81 billion increased 52% versus the prior-year period, both driven by the Costco portfolio acquisition as well as organic growth. Average retail services loans of $45 billion were up 4%, while retail services purchase sales of $21 billion were up 2%. For additional information on the results of operations of North
 
America GCB for the second 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 4% to $3.1 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 8% versus the prior-year period, driven by growth in retail loans and deposits, as well as improved deposit spreads, partially offset by a modest decline in cards revenues. Asia GCB revenues increased 3% versus the prior-year period, driven by improvement in cards and wealth management 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 second quarter of 2017, including the impact of FX translation, see “Global Consumer Banking—Latin America GCB” and “—Asia GCB” below.
Year-over-year, international GCB average deposits of $122 billion increased 7%, average retail loans of $87 billion were roughly flat, assets under management of $96 billion increased 7%, average card loans of $24 billion increased 6% and card purchase sales of $24 billion increased 7%, all excluding the impact of FX translation.

Institutional Clients Group
ICG net income of $2.8 billion increased 6%, driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses. ICG operating expenses increased 5% to $5.0 billion, as higher incentive compensation, investments and volume-related expenses were partially offset by efficiency savings.
ICG revenues were $9.2 billion in the second quarter of 2017, up 6% from the prior-year period, driven by a 19% increase in Banking revenues partially offset by a 5% decrease in Markets and securities services revenues. The increase in Banking revenues included the impact of $9 million of mark-to-market gains on loan hedges related to accrual loans within corporate lending compared to losses of $203 million in the prior-year period.
Banking revenues of $4.8 billion (excluding the impact of mark-to-market losses on hedges related to accrual loans within corporate lending) increased 13% compared to the prior-year period, driven by significant growth in investment banking as well as solid performance in treasury and trade solutions and the private bank. Investment banking revenues of $1.5 billion increased 22% versus the prior-year period. Advisory revenues increased 32% to $314 million, equity underwriting revenues increased 70% to $295 million and debt underwriting revenues increased 9% to $877 million, all versus the prior-year period.
Private bank revenues increased 17% versus the prior-year period to $788 million, driven by loan and deposit growth, improved spreads and increased investment activity. Corporate lending revenues increased $306 million to $486 million. Excluding the mark-to-market impact of loan hedges, corporate lending revenues increased 25% to $477 million versus the prior-year period reflecting lower hedging costs as well as the absence of a prior period adjustment to the residual value of a lease financing. Treasury and trade solutions

5



revenues increased 3% to $2.1 billion versus the prior-year period, reflecting continued volume growth and improved deposit spreads.
Markets and securities services revenues decreased 5% to $4.4 billion versus the prior-year period. Fixed income markets revenues decreased 6% to $3.2 billion versus the prior-year period, primarily reflecting lower G10 currencies revenue, given low volatility in the current quarter and the comparison to higher Brexit-related activity a year ago. Equity markets revenues decreased 11% to $691 million versus the prior-year period, reflecting episodic activity in the prior-year period, as well as low volatility in the current quarter. Securities services revenues increased 10% to $584 million versus the prior-year period, driven by growth in client volumes across the global custody business. For additional information on the results of operations of ICG for the second quarter of 2017, see “Institutional Clients Group” below.

Corporate/Other
Corporate/Other net loss was $15 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to net income of $116 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower revenues, partially offset by lower operating expenses and lower cost of credit. Expenses of $990 million declined 24% from the prior-year period, reflecting the wind-down of legacy assets.
Corporate/Other revenues were $653 million, down 45% from the prior-year period, reflecting the wind-down of legacy assets, divestiture activity and the absence of gains related to debt buybacks in the prior-year period.
Corporate/Other end-of-period assets decreased 21% to $92 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 second quarter of 2017, see “Corporate/Other” below.

Citi’s reportable Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital and Tier 1 Capital ratios were the lower derived under the U.S. Basel III Standardized Approach at June 30, 2017, and U.S. Basel III Advanced Approaches at June 30, 2016. Citi’s reportable Total Capital ratios were derived under the U.S. Basel III Advanced Approaches for both periods presented. This reflects the U.S. Basel III requirement to report the lower of risk-based capital ratios under both the Standardized Approach and Advanced Approaches in accordance with the Collins Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Act.

2Q17 vs. 2Q16
Net income decreased 18% due to significantly higher cost of credit, driven by the impact of the Costco portfolio acquisition (completed June 17, 2016), and higher expenses, partially offset by higher revenues.
Revenues increased 5%, reflecting higher revenues in Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services, partially offset by lower revenues in retail banking.
Retail banking revenues declined 2%, reflecting lower mortgage revenues. The decline in mortgage revenues was driven by lower origination activity and higher cost of funds, as well as the impact of the previously announced sale of a portion of Citi’s mortgage servicing rights (MSR). Excluding mortgage revenues, retail banking revenues were up 7%, driven by continued growth in average loans (6%), deposits (2%), and asset under management (10%), as well as a benefit from higher interest rates. Citi expects higher interest rates and the impact of the MSR sale to continue to negatively impact mortgage revenues during the remainder of 2017.
Cards revenues increased 8%. In Citi-branded cards, revenues increased 10%, largely reflecting the impact of the Costco portfolio acquisition and modest organic growth in Citi’s core portfolios. This increase in revenues was partially offset by the runoff of non-core portfolios, which is expected to be an ongoing headwind during the remainder of 2017. Average loans grew 25% (3% excluding Costco) and purchase sales grew 52% (3% excluding Costco).
Citi retail services revenues increased 4%, primarily driven by continued loan growth and a favorable prior-period comparison, partially offset by the continued impact of the previously disclosed renewal and extension of certain partnerships within the portfolio. Average loans were up 4% and purchase sales were up 2%.
Expenses increased 6%, primarily driven by the addition of the Costco portfolio, volume growth and continued investments, partially 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 24%, primarily driven by higher losses in Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services. In Citi-branded cards, net credit losses increased 31% to $611 million, primarily due to the Costco portfolio acquisition, organic volume growth and seasoning. In Citi retail services, net credit losses increased 20% to $531 million, primarily due to volume growth and seasoning and the impact of changes in collection processes. The net loan loss reserve build in the second quarter of 2017 was $103 million, compared to a build of $56 million in the prior-year period, largely supporting volume growth and the impact of changes in collections processes in Citi retail services.
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 21% due to higher cost of credit and higher expenses, partially offset by higher revenues.
Revenues increased 4%, reflecting higher revenues in cards, partially offset by lower revenues in retail banking. Retail banking revenues decreased 2%, driven by the same factors described above. Cards revenues increased 6%. In Citi-branded cards, revenues increased 11%, driven by the same factors described above. Citi retail services revenues were down 1%, driven by 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, partially offset by loan growth.
Expenses increased 5%, driven by the same factors described above.
Provisions increased 30%, driven by the same factors described above. Net credit losses increased 26% and the net loan loss reserve build of $262 million increased $127 million.

Reflects the impact of FX translation into U.S. dollars at the second quarter of 2017 and year-to-date 2017 average exchange rates for all periods presented.
(2)
Presentation of this metric excluding FX translation is a non-GAAP financial measure.


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.

2Q17 vs. 2Q16
Net income decreased 18%, primarily driven by higher credit costs and expenses, partially offset by higher revenues.
Revenues increased 8%, driven by higher revenues in
retail banking, partially offset by modestly lower revenues in
cards.
Retail banking revenues grew by 12%, reflecting continued growth in volumes, including an increase in average loans (8%), largely driven by the commercial and small business portfolios, and an increase in average deposits (10%), as well as improved deposit spreads. Cards revenues decreased 1%, reflecting continued higher cost to fund non-revolving loans, largely offset by increased purchase sales (10%). Average card loans grew 6%. While revolving card loan balance trends continued to improve during the quarter, Latin America GCB expects cards revenues to remain under pressure in the near term.
Expenses increased 4%, as ongoing investment spending and business growth were partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 30%, primarily driven by a higher net loan loss reserve build (increase of $51 million) and higher net credit losses (10%), largely reflecting volume growth and seasonality.
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 6%, primarily due to higher revenues in retail banking, partially offset by lower revenues in cards. Retail banking revenues increased 10%, driven by the same factors described above as well as the impact of business divestitures. Cards revenues decreased 3%, driven by the same factors described above.
Expenses increased 2%, as ongoing investment spending was partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 15% largely driven by the same factors described above.

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.

2Q17 vs. 2Q16
Net income increased 7%, reflecting higher revenues and lower cost of credit, partially offset by higher expenses.
Revenues increased 3%, driven by improvement in cards and wealth management revenues, partially offset by lower retail lending revenues.
Retail banking revenues were largely unchanged, primarily due to an increase in wealth management revenues, offset by the repositioning of the retail loan portfolio. Wealth management revenues increased due to improvement in investor sentiment, stronger equity markets and an increase in assets under management (9%) and investment sales (27%). These increases were offset by continued lower lending revenues (down 3%), reflecting continued lower average loans (decrease of 2%) due to the optimization of this portfolio away from lower-yielding mortgage loans to focus on growing higher-return personal loans.
Cards revenues increased 9%, 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. Cards revenues also benefitted from a modest gain from the sale of merchant acquiring businesses in certain countries.
Expenses increased 3%, resulting from volume growth and ongoing investment spending, partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions decreased 6%, driven by an increase in net loan loss reserve releases and lower net credit losses. 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 June 30, 2017, ICG had approximately $1.4 trillion of assets and $624 billion of deposits, while two of its businesses—securities services and issuer services—managed approximately $16.5 trillion of assets under custody compared to $15.3 trillion at the end of the prior-year period.
