CITICORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

Financial Summary

(1)

Revenues, Net of Interest Expense, and Benefits, Claims, and Credit Losses in the table above are disclosed on an owned basis (under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)). If this table were prepared on a managed basis, which includes certain effects of credit card securitization activities including receivables held for securitization and receivables sold with servicing retained, there would be no impact to net income, but Revenues, Net of Interest Expense, and Benefits, Claims, and Credit Losses would each have been increased by $1.210 billion and $960 million in the 2003 and 2002 third quarters, respectively, and by $3.520 billion and $3.062 billion in the respective nine-month periods. Although a managed basis presentation is not in conformity with GAAP, the Company believes it provides a representation of performance and key indicators of the credit card business that is consistent with the way management reviews operating performance and allocates resources. Furthermore, investors utilize information about the credit quality of the entire managed portfolio as the results of both the held and securitized portfolios impact the overall performance of the Cards business. See the discussion of the Cards business on page 10.

Results of Operations

Income

        Citicorp reported net income of $3.666 billion in the 2003 third quarter, up 23% from $2.973 billion in the 2002 third quarter. Return on average common equity was 19.0% compared to 17.5% a year ago.

        Net income in the 2003 nine months of $10.002 billion was up 18% from $8.477 billion in the 2002 period. Return on average common equity was 17.7% compared to 17.1% a year ago.

        Global Consumer net income increased $288 million or 14% and $1.1 billion or 19% in the 2003 third quarter and nine months compared to the 2002 periods. Global Corporate and Investment Bank (GCIB) income increased $184 million or 23% and $313 million or 12% in the 2003 third quarter and nine months compared to the 2002 periods. Global Investment Management income declined $99 million or 60% and $56 million or 11% from the respective 2002 periods, while Proprietary Investment Activities increased $209 million and $234 million from the 2002 third quarter and nine-month periods.

        See individual segment and product discussions on pages 10–26 for additional discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations.

Revenues, Net of Interest Expense

        Total revenues, net of interest expense, of $13.8 billion and $40.7 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months were up $797 million or 6% and $2.5 billion or 6%, respectively, from the 2002 periods. Global Consumer revenues were up $409 million or 4% in the 2003 third quarter to $9.7 billion, and were up $2.1 billion or 8% in the 2003 nine months to $28.6 billion. Increases in Retail Banking revenues of $547 million or 18% and $1.8 billion or 20% from the 2002 third quarter and nine months, respectively, were driven by the impact of the Golden State acquisition as well as increases in most regions. Compared to the 2002 periods, Cards was down $172 million or 5% in the 2003 third quarter and was up $142 million or 1% in the 2003 nine months, while Consumer Finance revenue increased $37 million or 2% in the 2003 third quarter and $219 million or 3% in the 2003 nine months, reflecting growth in North America that was partially offset by declines in Japan.

        Compared to the 2002 periods, GCIB revenues were down $188 million or 6% to $2.8 billion in the 2003 third quarter and were down $387 million or 4% in the 2003 nine months, driven by Capital Markets and Banking, down $170 million or 8% and $371 million or 6% in the 2003 third quarter and nine-month periods.

        Global Investment Management revenues of $732 million in the 2003 third quarter and $2.4 billion in the 2003 nine months were up $37 million or 5% and $173 million or 8% from the comparable 2002 periods, primarily due to higher portfolio gains, in addition to higher client trading and lending revenue in Private Bank. Revenues in Proprietary Investment Activities increased $510 million and $608 million from the 2002 third quarter and nine months, respectively, primarily reflecting higher net recognized gains and lower impairment write-downs.

Selected Revenue Items

        Net interest revenue rose $601 million or 8% from the 2002 third quarter to $8.4 billion and increased $1.5 billion or 6% from the 2002 nine months to $24.8 billion, reflecting increases in fixed income trading and investment positions, acquisitions, the impact of a changing rate environment and business volume growth. Total fees and commissions of $3.1 billion and $8.6 billion were up $530 million or 21% and $331 million or 4% from the 2002 periods, primarily as a result of increases in volumes.

        Foreign exchange revenues of $775 million were up $462 million from the 2002 third quarter and were up $1.0 billion from the 2002 nine months to $2.6 billion, reflecting continued strong foreign exchange trading in 2003. Trading account revenues of $92 million for the 2003 third quarter were down $687 million from the 2003 third quarter, reflecting declines in interest rate products. For the nine months trading account revenues of ($221) million decreased $1.9 billion from the same period in 2002. Investment transactions of $80 million were up $226 million from the 2002 third quarter and $535 million from the 2002 nine months.

        Other revenue of $1.3 billion in the 2003 third quarter decreased $335 million from the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting the 2002 gain on sale of 399 Park Avenue, partially offset by higher venture capital activity and higher securitization gains and activity, which in turn was partially offset by increased credit losses on securitized credit card receivables. Other revenue of $4.6 billion was up $1.0 billion in the 2003 nine months, primarily reflecting higher venture capital activity and higher securitization gains and activity, partially offset by the sale of 399 Park Avenue.

4

Operating Expenses

        Operating expenses of $6.6 billion and $19.8 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, were up $961 million or 17% in the 2003 third quarter and were up $2.3 billion or 13% in the 2003 nine months, compared to year-ago levels. The increase primarily reflects the addition of GSB, increased compensation expenses in the GCIB, costs associated with the repositioning of our Latin America business, higher pension and insurance costs and the additional cost of expensing stock options.

        Global Consumer expenses in the 2003 third quarter and nine months were up 13% and 12%, respectively. GCIB expenses were up 23% in the quarter and were up 13% in the nine months while Global Investment Management expenses were up 36% and 17% from the year-ago periods.

Benefits, Claims, and Credit Losses

        Benefits, claims, and credit losses were $1.7 billion and $6.3 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, down $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion from the 2002 third quarter and nine months, respectively. Policyholder benefits and claims in the 2003 third quarter decreased 7% from the 2002 third quarter to $113 million, and were down 2% to $409 million in the 2003 nine months. The provision for credit losses decreased 40% from the 2002 third quarter to $1.6 billion in the 2003 third quarter and decreased 20% from the 2002 nine months to $5.9 billion in the 2003 nine months, reflecting improved credit quality in both consumer and corporate businesses.

        Global Consumer provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses of $1.6 billion in the 2003 third quarter were down 24% from the 2002 third quarter, reflecting decreases in Cards and Retail Banking, partially offset by increases in Consumer Finance. Total net credit losses (excluding Commercial Markets) were $1.691 billion and the related loss ratio was 2.31% in the 2003 third quarter, as compared to $1.745 billion and 2.42% in the preceding quarter and $1.755 billion and 2.75% in the year-ago quarter. The consumer loan delinquency ratio (90 days or more past due) decreased to 2.28% at September 30, 2003 from 2.41% at June 30, 2003 and 2.47% a year ago. See page 31 for a reconciliation of total consumer credit information.

        The GCIB provision for credit losses of $78 million in the 2003 third quarter decreased $586 million or 88% and the nine-month provision of $492 million decreased $1.0 billion or 67% from year-ago levels. The decreases reflect this year's improving credit environment contrasted with prior-year provisions for Argentina and exposures in the telecommunications industry.

        Corporate cash-basis loans at September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $3.772 billion and $3.903 billion, respectively, while the corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) portfolio totaled $59 million and $81 million, respectively. The decrease in cash-basis loans from the 2002 third quarter reflects write-offs against previously established reserves, as well as paydowns, offset by increases to borrowers in the power and energy industry. Corporate cash-basis loans at September 30, 2003 decreased $410 million from June 30, 2003 primarily due to write-offs taken against previously established reserves and paydowns from borrowers in the power and energy and telecommunications industries as well as corporate borrowers in Argentina, Brazil and Hong Kong. The decrease in OREO from the 2002 third quarter was primarily due to continued improvements in the North America real estate portfolio.

Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax rate of 29.2% in the 2003 third quarter declined from 33.0% in the 2002 third quarter. The decline primarily represented benefits for not providing U.S. income taxes on the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely invested and a $200 million release of a tax reserve that had been held at the legacy Associates' businesses and was deemed to be in excess of expected tax liabilities. The Company's effective tax rate was 28.9% in the 2003 second quarter.

5

Regulatory Capital

        Total capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) was $73.4 billion or 13.01% of net risk-adjusted assets, and Tier 1 capital was $50.1 billion or 8.88% at September 30, 2003, compared to $68.7 billion or 12.31% and $45.3 billion or 8.11%, respectively, at December 31, 2002.

EVENTS IN 2002 and 2003

Acquisition of Sears' Credit Card Business

        On November 3, 2003, Citigroup acquired the Sears' Credit Card and Financial Products business (the 8th largest portfolio in the U.S.). The purchase price of $31.8 billion included Sears' private label and bank card credit card receivables of $28.6 billion (prior to any FFIEC and other purchase adjustments) plus a 10% premium of approximately $2.9 billion and $0.3 billion for other assets, business facilities and employees (approximately 8,000 employees, 6,000 full-time). In addition, the companies signed a multi-year marketing and servicing agreement across a range of each company's businesses, products and services. The operations of Sears' Credit Card and Financial Products business will be integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.

Settlement of Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters

        On July 28, 2003, Citigroup entered into a final settlement agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve the SEC's outstanding investigations into Citigroup transactions with Enron and Dynegy. Pursuant to the settlement, Citigroup has, among other terms, (1) consented to the entry of an administrative cease and desist order, which bars Citigroup from committing or causing violations of provisions of the federal securities laws, and (2) agreed to pay $120 million ($101.25 million allocable to Enron and $18.75 million allocable to Dynegy). Citigroup entered into this settlement without admitting or denying any wrongdoing or liability, and the settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding. Citigroup has made full payment to the SEC. On July 28, 2003, Citibank, N.A. entered into an agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Citigroup entered into an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FED) to resolve their inquiries into certain of Citigroup's transactions with Enron. Pursuant to the agreements, Citibank and Citigroup have submitted plans to the OCC and FED, respectively, regarding the handling of complex structured finance transactions. Also on July 28, 2003, Citigroup entered into a settlement agreement with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to resolve its investigation into certain of Citigroup's transactions with Enron; pursuant to the settlement, Citigroup has agreed to pay $25.5 million and to abide by its agreements with the SEC, OCC and FED. Citigroup has made full payment to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. The Company and certain other Citigroup subsidiaries had previously established reserves for the cost of these settlements.

Impact from Argentina's Economic Changes

        Throughout 2002 Argentina experienced significant political and economic changes including severe recessionary conditions, high inflation and political uncertainty.

        During the full year of 2002, Citicorp recorded a total of $1.704 billion in net pretax charges. Of these charges, Citicorp recorded a total of $531 million in pretax charges in the 2002 third quarter and $1.5 billion (pretax) in the 2002 nine-month period. In addition, the impact of the devaluation of the peso during 2002 produced foreign currency translation losses that reduced Citicorp's equity by $595 million, net of tax, during 2002.

        The Argentine Supreme Court determined that the 2002 redenomination of certain bank deposits of the Province of San Luis with Banco de la Nacion Argentina from dollars to pesos was unconstitutional. The parties to that litigation did not reach an agreement on the timing and manner of the repayment of the referred deposits within the timeframe set forth by the Supreme Court in its ruling, therefore, the Supreme Court is to decide the terms and conditions of such repayment. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of the redenomination would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company. Following this decision on April 1, 2003, the government issued a regulation providing for a voluntary election on the part of depositors with reprogrammed/restricted balances to receive their peso deposits, including indexation, from their respective banks, as well as a ten-year bond issued directly by the government. During the election period, which expired on May 23, 2003, 41% of Citicorp's eligible deposit liabilities in Argentina elected to redeem their deposits. The redemption of deposits was effected with no significant impact on the Company's net income or liquidity.

        In the 2003 third quarter, Citicorp recorded a total of $95 million in net after-tax charges, as follows: $120 million in write-downs resulting from the mandatory exchange of Argentine Government Promissory Notes (GPNs) for Argentine government bonds denominated in U.S. dollars; a $42 million write-off of impaired Deferred Acquisition Costs reflecting changes in underlying cash flow estimates for the business; $20 million of loss related to the restructuring of customer annuity liability balances; a $62 million after-tax reduction ($100 million pre-tax) in the consumer allowance for credit losses as a result of an improving consumer credit environment; and a $25 million after-tax reduction ($40 million pre-tax) in reserves for customer deposit liabilities reflecting improving trends in those settlements.

6

        Also in the 2003 third quarter, the Company wrote off $127 million of its compensation instruments against previously established reserves. This action was triggered by, among other things, the government's disallowance during the quarter of compensation for pesification of certain credit card and overdraft loans. The initial principal payment of approximately $57 million under certain compensation instruments issued to the Company was paid in August 2003.

        On July 3, 2003, an insurance subsidiary of the Company that issues annuities obtained approval from the Argentine Ministry of Insurance to offer a restructuring plan for its voluntary annuity holders. The election period will expire on November 30, 2003. As of October 29, 2003, 70% of the voluntary annuity customers have elected to participate in the plan.

        The Company believes it has a sound basis to bring a claim, as a result of various actions of the Argentine government. A recovery on such a claim could serve to reduce the economic loss of the Company in Argentina.

        As the economic situation, as well as legal and regulatory issues, in Argentina remain fluid, we continue to work with the government and our customers and continue to monitor conditions closely. In particular, we are watching the potential impact that the continued economic crisis may have on our corporate borrowers and how consumer deposits and our pension and insurance businesses will be affected by potential government actions. Other items we continue to monitor include the realizability of government obligations such as the compensation instruments held by Corporate and Consumer businesses and the government obligations held by the insurance subsidiaries, the potential for re-dollarization of pension annuities and further debt restructurings, and the liquidity and capital needs of the insurance subsidiaries. Additional costs to the Company will depend on future actions by the Argentine government and the Company. Additional losses may be incurred.

        The above paragraphs contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 27.

Acquisition of Golden State Bancorp

        On November 6, 2002, Citigroup completed its acquisition of 100% of Golden State Bancorp (GSB) in a transaction in which Citigroup paid approximately $2.3 billion in cash and issued 79.5 million Citigroup common shares. The total transaction value of approximately $5.8 billion was based on the average prices of Citigroup shares, as adjusted for the effect of the TPC distribution, for the two trading days before and after May 21, 2002, the date the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced. The operations of GSB were integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.

        GSB was the parent company of California Federal Bank, the second-largest thrift in the U.S. and, through its First Nationwide Mortgage business, the eighth-largest mortgage servicer.

Sale of 399 Park Avenue

        During the 2002 third quarter, the Company sold its 399 Park Avenue, New York City Headquarters building. The sale for $1.06 billion resulted in a pretax gain of $830 million, with $527 million ($323 million after-tax) recognized in the 2002 third quarter and the remainder to be recognized over the term of Citigroup's lease agreements. Citigroup is currently the lessee of approximately 40% of the building with terms averaging 15 years.

Changes in Credit Card Receivables and Securitizations

        During the 2002 third quarter, the Company increased the loan loss reserve by $206 million related to past due interest and late fees on its on-balance sheet credit card receivables in accordance with recent guidance from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC).

        Cards revenues included net gains of $64 million and $279 million in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, and $239 million in both the 2002 third quarter and nine months as a result of changes in estimates in the timing of revenue recognition on securitizations. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES IN 2003

Stock-Based Compensation

        On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), prospectively to all awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003. The prospective method is one of the adoption methods provided for under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure," issued in December 2002. SFAS 123 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period). This compensation cost is determined using option pricing models, intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Similar to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,

7

"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," the alternative method of accounting, an offsetting increase to stockholders' equity under SFAS 123 is recorded equal to the amount of compensation expense charged.

        Had the Company applied SFAS 123 in accounting for the Company's stock option plans for all options granted, net income would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

        On January 1, 2003, Citicorp adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, other than in a business combination, be recognized when the liability is incurred. Previous generally accepted accounting principles provided for the recognition of such costs at the date of management's commitment to an exit plan. In addition, SFAS 146 requires that the liability be measured at fair value and be adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. The provisions of the new standard are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The impact of adopting SFAS 146 was not material.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

        In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). The provisions of FIN 46 applied immediately to variable interest entities (VIEs) created after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. In October 2003, the FASB announced that the effective date of FIN 46 was deferred from July 1, 2003 to periods ending after December 15, 2003 for VIEs created prior to February 1, 2003. Citicorp elected to adopt the remaining provisions of FIN 46 in the 2003 third quarter, with the exception of the deferral related to certain investment company subsidiaries. FIN 46 changes the method of determining whether certain entities, including securitization entities, should be included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. An entity is subject to FIN 46 and is called a VIE if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity's operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. All other entities are evaluated for consolidation under SFAS No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries." A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that absorbs a majority of the expected losses, receives a majority of the expected residual returns, or both.

        For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN 46 that were created before February 1, 2003, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE are initially measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46 first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE. The implementation of FIN 46 on July 1, 2003 resulted in the consolidation of VIEs increasing both total assets and total liabilities by approximately $955 million.

        The FASB continues to provide additional guidance on implementing FIN 46 through FASB Staff Positions. In addition, a draft interpretation of FIN 46 has been issued for comment. As this guidance is finalized, the Company will continue to review the status of VIEs it is involved with. As a result of changes in the guidance, additional VIEs may ultimately be required to be consolidated. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 27.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

        On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the recognition and measurement provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45), which requires that, for guarantees within the scope of FIN 45 issued or amended after December 31, 2002, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee be recognized. The impact of adopting FIN 45 was not material.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

        On July 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 149). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative

8

instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. In particular, this Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. This Statement is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Liabilities and Equity

        On July 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and classifies them in its statement of financial position. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) when that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective July 1, 2003, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES IN 2002

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        Effective July 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141) and certain provisions of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142), as required for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets resulting from business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001. The new rules require that all business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method. The nonamortization provisions of the new rules affecting goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are effective for all purchase business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.

        On January 1, 2002, Citicorp adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 142, when the rules became effective for calendar year companies. Under the new rules, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

        On January 1, 2002, Citicorp adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144), when the rule became effective for calendar year companies. SFAS 144 establishes additional criteria as compared to existing generally accepted accounting principles to determine when a long-lived asset is held-for-sale. It also broadens the definition of "discontinued operations," but does not allow for the accrual of future operating losses, as was previously permitted. The impact of adopting SFAS 144 was not material.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The Company's accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. The Company has identified four policies as being significant because they require management to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies relate to Valuations of Financial Instruments, Allowance for Credit Losses, Securitizations and Argentina. These significant accounting policies are further described in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

GLOBAL CONSUMER

        Global Consumer—which provides banking, lending, including credit and charge cards, and investment and personal insurance products and services to customers around the world—reported net income of $2.382 billion and $6.578 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, up $288 million or 14% and $1.051 billion or 19% from the comparable 2002 periods, driven by growth in Retail Banking and Cards that was partially offset by a decline in Consumer Finance. Retail Banking net income increased $209 million or 28% in the 2003 third quarter and $913 million or 51% in the 2003 nine months from the prior-year periods, reflecting the impact of the Golden State Bancorp (GSB) acquisition, growth in Consumer Assets, EMEA and Asia combined with improvements in Argentina. Cards net income increased $136 million or 16% in the 2003 third quarter and $338 million or 16% in the 2003 nine months from the 2002 periods, reflecting growth in Citi Cards, Mexico and Asia, the addition of the Home Depot private-label portfolio, combined with improvements in credit quality in Argentina. Consumer Finance net income of $467 million and $1.460 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months declined $72 million or 13% and $177 million or 11% from the comparable 2002 periods, as continued weakness in Japan was partially offset by growth in North America, including the acquisition of GSB, and EMEA.

Cards

        Cards—which includes bankcards, private-label cards and charge cards in 47 countries around the world—reported net income of $985 million and $2.488 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, up $136 million or 16% and $338 million or 16% from the 2002 periods. North America Cards reported net income of $819 million and $2.113 billion for the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, up $91 million or 13% and $223 million or 12% from the 2002 periods, reflecting increased spreads, improved credit costs and the addition of the Home Depot private-label portfolio. International Cards income increased $45 million or 37% compared to the prior-year quarter and increased $115 million or 44% compared to the 2002 nine months, both reflecting the impact of changes in the allowance for credit losses related to Argentina, as well as growth in Asia.

        During the 2003 third quarter, Citigroup completed the acquisition of the Home Depot private-label portfolio, adding $6 billion in receivables and 12 million accounts. On July 29, 2003, Citigroup completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Diners Club Europe adding approximately 1 million accounts, bringing Citigroup's ownership to 100%. The acquisition included the Diners Club franchises in the U.K., Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy, France, Germany and Switzerland. The operations of the Home Depot private-label portfolio and Diners Club Europe businesses will be integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.

        As shown in the following table, average managed loans grew 4% and 5% in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, reflecting growth of 2% and 5% in North America and 18% and 14% in International Cards. Growth in North America was led by Citi Cards, where the addition of the Home Depot private-label portfolio was partially offset by a decline in introductory promotional rate balances that was driven by a change in acquisition marketing strategies, as well as the sale of $1.7 billion of non-strategic portfolios. Growth in International Cards reflected increases in EMEA and Asia. The growth in International Cards also included the benefit of

10

strengthening currencies and was partially offset by a decline in Latin America, which experienced lower loan volumes across the region. Sales in North America were flat to the 2002 third quarter, reflecting the change in acquisition marketing strategies offset by the addition of Home Depot and improved purchase sales. International Cards sales grew 18% from the prior-year quarter, reflecting growth in EMEA, Asia and Japan as well as the addition of Diners Club Europe.

(1)

Although a managed basis presentation is not in conformity with GAAP, the Company believes it provides a representation of performance and key indicators of the credit card business that is consistent with the way management reviews operating performance and allocates resources. Furthermore, investors utilize information about the credit quality of the entire managed portfolio as the results of both the held and securitized portfolios impact the overall performance of the Cards business.

(2)

Included within Other assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, of $3.542 billion for the 2003 third quarter declined by $172 million or 5% from 2002, reflecting a decline of $271 million or 9% in North America that was partially offset by growth of $99 million or 17% in the international markets. Revenues in North America included net gains of $64 million and $239 million in the 2003 and 2002 third quarters, respectively, as a result of changes in estimates related to the timing of revenue recognition on securitizations. Excluding these items, the decline in North America was primarily due to increased credit losses on securitized receivables (which are recorded as a contra-revenue item after receivables are securitized) that was partially offset by the addition of the Home Depot portfolio, net interest margin expansion and the benefit of increased purchase sales and cardholder services fees. Revenue growth in International Cards was mainly driven by receivable and sales increases in Asia and EMEA, the addition of Diners Club Europe as well as the benefit of foreign currency translation. Revenues, net of interest expense, for the 2003 nine-month period of $10.184 billion rose $142 million or 1% as growth in EMEA and Asia was partially offset by a decline in North America. Revenue in North America included net gains of $279 million and $239 million in the 2003 and 2002 nine-month periods, respectively, as a result of changes in estimates related to the timing of revenue recognition on securitizations. Revenues in the 2003 nine months also included gains from the sale of $1.7 billion in non-strategic portfolios. Revenues in the 2002 nine months also included $128 million resulting from an increase in the amortization period for certain direct loan origination costs.

        Operating expenses of $1.508 billion and $4.417 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, increased $90 million or 6% and $291 million or 7% from the prior-year periods. In North America, expenses increased 3% in the third quarter and 6% in the nine-month comparisons. The increase in the third quarter comparison was driven by the addition of the Home Depot portfolio, which was partially offset by lower advertising and marketing expenditures. In the nine-month comparison, expense growth reflected the addition of the Home Depot portfolio and increased advertising and marketing expenditures combined with the absence of a $19 million restructuring reserve release in the prior year. In International Cards, expenses increased 20% compared to the prior-year quarter and 10% compared to the 2002 nine months, driven by the addition of Diners Club Europe and the impact of foreign currency translation.

        The provision for credit losses in the 2003 third quarter and nine months was $540 million and $1.992 billion, respectively, compared to $978 million and $2.604 billion in the 2002 periods. The 2003 third quarter provision for credit losses included a $44 million reduction in the allowance for credit losses due to improvement in credit experience and lower portfolio volumes in Argentina. In the prior year, the provision for credit losses included a $206 million addition to the allowance for credit losses established in accordance with FFIEC guidance related to past due interest and late fees on the on-balance sheet credit card receivables in Citi Cards and, in the nine-month period, a $70 million net addition to the allowance resulting from deteriorating credit in Argentina. Excluding the prior-year amounts related to FFIEC guidance and Argentina, the decline in the provision for credit losses reflected credit improvement in North America and in the international markets overall and an increase in the level of securitized receivables, partially offset by the impact of higher loss rates in the U.K. and Korea. Net credit losses in the 2003 third quarter were $579 million with a related loss ratio of 4.58%, compared to $679 million and 5.41% for the 2003 second quarter and $804 million and 6.28% in the prior-year quarter. Loans delinquent 90 days or more were $819 million or 1.57% of loans at September 30, 2003, compared to $870 million or 1.80% at June 30, 2003 and $917 million or 1.74% at September 30, 2002.

11

        The securitization of credit card receivables is limited to the Citi Cards business within North America. At September 30, 2003, securitized credit card receivables were $73.6 billion, compared to $64.6 billion at September 30, 2002. Credit card receivables held-for-sale were $3.0 billion at September 30, 2003, compared to $6.5 billion a year ago. Because securitization changes Citicorp's role from that of a lender to that of a loan servicer, it removes the receivables from Citicorp's balance sheet and affects the amount of revenue and the manner in which revenue and the provision for credit losses are classified in the income statement. For securitized receivables and receivables held-for-sale, gains are recognized upon sale and amounts that would otherwise be reported as net interest revenue, fee and commission revenue, and credit losses on loans are instead reported as fee and commission revenue (for servicing fees) and other revenue (for the remaining revenue, net of credit losses and the amortization of previously recognized securitization gains). Because credit losses are a component of these cash flows, revenues over the terms of these transactions may vary depending upon the credit performance of the securitized receivables. For a further discussion of the securitization of credit card receivables, see page 58.

        Including securitized receivables and receivables held-for-sale, managed net credit losses in the 2003 third quarter were $1.789 billion with a related loss ratio of 5.62%, compared to $1.887 billion and 6.08% in the 2003 second quarter and $1.764 billion and 5.74% in the 2002 third quarter. The decrease in the ratio from the second quarter of 2003 was primarily due to improvements in North America and in the international markets. Contributing to the improvement in North America was the addition of the Home Depot portfolio which at acquisition was recorded at fair market value, and represented $4.2 billion of average loans in the net credit loss ratio calculation for the 2003 third quarter. Excluding the Home Depot portfolio acquisition the loss ratio for the 2003 third quarter would have been 5.81%. The decline in the ratio from the prior-year quarter was primarily driven by improvements in the international markets, particularly in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Argentina. Loans delinquent 90 days or more on a managed basis were $2.353 billion or 1.83% at September 30, 2003, compared to $2.313 billion or 1.88% at June 30, 2003 and $2.309 billion or 1.86% at September 30, 2002.

Consumer Finance

        Consumer Finance—which provides community-based lending services through branch networks, regional sales offices and cross-selling initiatives with other Citigroup businesses—reported net income of $467 million and $1.460 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, down $72 million or 13% and $177 million or 11%, respectively, from the comparable 2002 periods, principally reflecting a decline in International Consumer Finance resulting from continued weakness in Japan, which was partially offset by growth in North America, which also benefited from the acquisition of GSB, and EMEA. International results in the 2003 nine months included a $94 million release of a tax reserve related to a settlement with tax authorities, which increased income in Japan.

        As shown in the preceding table, average loans grew 9% compared to the 2002 third quarter resulting from acquisitions, growth in real-estate secured loans, the impact of funding auto loan volumes internally and strengthening currencies in the international markets. Growth in real estate-secured loans mainly reflected the continued cross-selling of products through Primerica as well as portfolio acquisitions in North America and growth in the U.K. Average auto loans for the 2003 third quarter increased $2.8 billion or 33% from 2002, primarily resulting from the addition of $2.0 billion through the acquisition of GSB, as well as a shift in funding policy to fund business volumes internally. In Japan, average loans in the 2003 third quarter declined 11% from the prior-year quarter, as the benefit of foreign currency translation was more than offset by the impact of charge-offs, reduced loan demand and higher pay-downs.

12

Average loans in Japan are expected to continue to decline from the 2003 third quarter levels. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 27.

        As shown in the following table, the average net interest margin of 9.96% in the 2003 third quarter declined 66 basis points from the 2002 third quarter, reflecting compression in the international markets, particularly in Japan. In North America, the average net interest margin was 8.34% in the 2003 third quarter, increasing 5 basis points from the prior-year quarter as the benefit of lower cost of funds was partially offset by lower yields, reflecting the lower interest rate environment and the continued shift to higher-quality credits. The average net interest margin for International Consumer Finance was 15.53% in the 2003 third quarter, declining 200 basis points from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by Japan. The compression of net interest margin in Japan reflected a decline in higher-yielding personal loans combined with a change in the treatment of adjustments and refunds of interest and continued high levels of non-performing loans. Beginning in the second quarter of 2003, adjustments and refunds of interest charged to customer accounts are accounted for as a reduction of net interest margin whereas, in prior periods, such amounts were treated as credit costs. The net interest margin decline in Japan was offset, in part, by margin expansion in Europe, which was driven by lower cost of funds and the benefit of growth in higher-yielding personal loans.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, of $2.499 billion and $7.462 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, increased $37 million or 2% from the prior-year quarter and $219 million or 3% from the prior-year nine months. Revenue in North America increased 11% from the third quarter of 2002 and 9% from the first nine months of 2002 and was primarily driven by growth in receivables that included the addition of the GSB auto portfolio and the absence of prior-year realized insurance investment portfolio losses, partially offset by declines in insurance premium revenue. Revenue in International Consumer Finance declined $133 million or 14% and $167 million or 6% from the 2002 periods mainly due to lower volumes and spreads in Japan, partially offset by growth in EMEA and Asia, the benefit of foreign currency translation and, in the nine-month comparison, the impact of acquisitions in Japan.

        Operating expenses of $867 million and $2.567 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, increased $91 million or 12% and $247 million or 11% from the prior-year periods. Operating expenses in North America increased $61 million or 13% and $159 million or 11%, respectively, from the prior-year periods, primarily due to increased volumes and the addition of the GSB auto portfolio, as well as increased staffing costs and collection and compliance expenses. Operating expenses for International Consumer Finance increased 10% from both the prior-year quarter and nine months. These increases reflected the impact of foreign currency translation, additional costs in Japan attributable to actions taken to restructure the business in response to the continued challenging business environment and, in the nine-month comparison, the addition of Taihei and Marufuku, partially offset by expense savings from branch closings and headcount reductions in Japan.

        The provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses were $925 million in the 2003 third quarter, down from $957 million in the 2003 second quarter and up from $844 million in the prior-year third quarter. The decline from the second quarter of 2003 primarily reflected improved credit conditions. The increase from the prior-year third quarter primarily reflected increases in the provision for credit losses in Japan, due to deteriorating credit conditions, and in North America, where the addition of GSB and growth in the portfolio were partially offset by a decline in policyholder benefits and claims. Net credit losses and the related loss ratio were $898 million and 3.92% in the 2003 third quarter, compared to $897 million and 4.01% in the 2003 second quarter and $779 million and 3.71% in the 2002 third quarter. In North America, the net credit loss ratio of 2.93% in the 2003 third quarter was down from 2.98% in the 2003 second quarter and up from 2.79% in the 2002 third quarter. The net credit loss ratio for International Consumer Finance was 7.34% in the 2003 third quarter, down from 7.43% in the 2003 second quarter and up from 6.42% in the 2002 third quarter. The increase in the ratio from the prior-year quarter was due to higher credit losses and lower loan balances in Japan, while the improvement from the prior quarter was mainly due to a decline in losses in EMEA and Japan which experienced a decline in bankruptcy losses during the quarter. The net credit loss ratio for International Consumer Finance in the 2003 second and third quarters was reduced by 62 and 66 basis points, respectively, as a result of the change in treatment of adjustments and refunds as discussed above. Net credit losses in the 2002 third quarter included $25 million for changes in loss recognition criteria in Japan that accelerated the timing of contractual write-offs in the personal loan portfolio. Loans delinquent 90 days or more were $2.127 billion or 2.30% of loans at September 30, 2003, compared to $2.182 billion or 2.41% at June 30, 2003 and $2.179 billion or 2.60% a year ago. The decrease in the delinquency ratio versus the prior year and prior quarter was mainly due to improvements in North America.

        In Japan, net credit losses and the related loss ratio may increase from the 2003 third quarter as a result of economic conditions, credit performance of the unsecured loan portfolio, including increased bankruptcy filings, and the impact of regulatory changes. This

Retail Banking

        Retail Banking—which delivers banking, lending, investment and insurance services to customers through retail branches and electronic delivery systems—reported net income of $947 million and $2.694 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, up $209 million or 28% and $913 million or 51% from the 2002 periods. The increase in Retail Banking was driven by growth in North America of $120 million or 27% and $651 million or 60% in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of GSB and strong growth in mortgage originations and deposit volumes, partially offset by a decline in Mexico. Net income in International Retail Banking increased $89 million or 30% and $262 million or 38% in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, as improvements in Argentina combined with growth in EMEA and Asia more than offset the prior-year gain on sale of the mortgage portfolio in Japan.

        As shown in the following table, Retail Banking grew average loans and customer deposits compared to 2002. The growth in North America primarily reflected the acquisition of GSB, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation in Mexico. North America also experienced organic growth in customer deposits in Citibanking North America and in average loans in Consumer Assets, primarily due to increased mortgages. Average loan growth in North America was negatively impacted by a decline in CitiCapital resulting from the run-off of non-core portfolios. At the end of the 2003 third quarter, CitiCapital's non-core portfolios were also reduced by approximately $1.2 billion resulting from the sale of CitiCapital Fleet Services. In the international markets, average customer deposits grew 9% from the prior-year quarter driven by the impact of foreign currency translation and growth in Asia, EMEA and Japan. International Retail Banking average loans increased 2% from the prior-year quarter as the impact of foreign currency translation and growth in installment loans in Germany were partially offset by the 2002 third quarter sale of the mortgage portfolio in Japan. Growth in both loans and customer deposits was negatively impacted by volume declines in Latin America, reflecting declines across the region.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, of $3.600 billion and $10.758 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, increased $547 million or 18% and $1.805 billion or 20% from the 2002 periods. Revenues in North America increased $354 million or 19% and $1.257 billion or 22% in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, driven by the acquisition of GSB and growth in Consumer Assets. Excluding the acquisition of GSB, growth in North America, excluding Mexico, was driven by the benefit of increased loan and deposit volumes and higher mortgage servicing and securitization income, which was partially offset by lower net funding and positioning spreads in Citibanking North America and the impact of run-off of non-core portfolios in CitiCapital. Revenues in Mexico declined $122 million or 25% and $84 million or 6% in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, primarily reflecting the write-down of an investment security and the negative effect of foreign currency translation which were partially offset by improved spreads and volumes. International Retail Banking revenues increased $193 million or 17% and $548 million or 17% in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, reflecting the impact of strengthening currencies,

14

improvements in Latin America and growth in EMEA and Asia. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, increased loan volumes, mainly in Germany, drove growth in EMEA, while Asia benefited from strong investment and insurance products sales. The increase in Latin America reflected improvements in Argentina resulting from lower losses and the release of reserves related to customer deposit liabilities and a decline in government-mandated inflation indexed interest accruals. These improvements were partially offset in the nine-month comparison by a benefit in the prior year resulting from a change in the allocation of re-denomination losses among products based on the pesification decree issued by the Argentine government in February 2002. International Retail Banking revenue growth was negatively impacted by a decline in Japan resulting from a $55 million gain on sale of the $2.0 billion mortgage portfolio in the prior year.

        Operating expenses in the 2003 third quarter and nine months increased $385 million or 23% and $879 million or 17% from the comparable 2002 periods. In North America, growth of $313 million or 30% and $647 million or 19% from the 2002 third quarter and nine months, respectively, was primarily due to the addition of GSB and volume-related increases in Consumer Assets, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation in Mexico. International Retail Banking operating expenses increased $72 million or 12% and $232 million or 13% from the 2002 third quarter and nine months, respectively, mainly reflecting the impact of foreign currency translation, volume-related increases, higher advertising and marketing costs, and, in the nine-month comparison, costs (including severance) attributable to business repositioning in Latin America and the consolidation of certain back office operations in Europe.

        The provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses were $119 million and $702 million in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, down from $252 million and $1.009 billion in the prior-year periods, reflecting a lower provision for credit losses. The decline in the provision for credit losses from the prior-year periods primarily reflected lower credit costs in Mexico, which includes a credit recovery of $64 million, and in CitiCapital, a $56 million reduction in the allowance for credit losses due to improvement in credit experience and lower portfolio volumes in Argentina, and was partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation and additions to the allowance for credit losses in Germany. The nine-month comparison also reflected a $101 million addition to the allowance for credit losses in the first quarter of 2002 related to Argentina. Net credit losses (excluding commercial markets) were $210 million and the related loss ratio was 0.72% in the 2003 third quarter, compared to $165 million and 0.58% in the 2003 second quarter and $166 million and 0.74% in the prior-year quarter. The increase in credit losses (excluding commercial markets) in the 2003 third quarter was primarily driven by an $87 million write-down of the Argentina compensation note (which was written down against previously established reserves), and was partially offset by improvements in all product lines in North America. Commercial Markets net credit losses were $50 million and the related loss ratio was 0.47% in the 2003 third quarter, compared to $139 million and 1.30% in the 2003 second quarter and $147 million and 1.50% in the prior-year quarter. The decline in Commercial Markets net credit losses in the 2003 third quarter was mainly due to a recovery in Mexico, and improvements in CitiCapital.

        Loans delinquent 90 days or more (excluding Commercial Markets) were $3.707 billion or 3.19% of loans at September 30, 2003, compared to $3.706 billion or 3.29% at June 30, 2003, and $2.969 billion or 3.39% a year ago. Compared to a year ago, the increase in delinquent loans was primarily due to increases in Consumer Assets and Germany, including the impact of foreign currency translation, and was partially offset by declines in Taiwan, Argentina and Mexico. The increase in Consumer Assets was mainly due to the addition of GSB and a higher level of buy backs from GNMA pools where credit risk is maintained by government agencies.

        Cash-basis loans in Commercial Markets were $1.283 billion at September 30, 2003, $1.165 billion at June 30, 2003, and $1.234 billion at September 30, 2002. The increase in cash-basis loans from the prior year and prior quarter mainly reflected increases in the vehicle leasing and transportation portfolios in CitiCapital and was partially offset by improvements in Mexico and Citibanking North America.

        Average assets of $225 billion and $222 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, increased $50 billion from both comparable 2002 periods. The increase in average assets primarily reflected the acquisition of GSB, growth in mortgages and loans held for sale in Consumer Assets, and the impact of foreign currency translation in the international markets.

15

Other Consumer

        Other Consumer—which includes certain treasury and other unallocated staff functions, global marketing and other programs—reported losses of $17 million and $64 million for the 2003 third quarter and nine months, respectively, compared to losses of $32 million and $41 million in the 2002 third quarter and nine months, respectively. The reduction in losses in the quarterly comparison was mainly due to lower global marketing costs while the increase in losses in the nine-month comparison was driven by a $40 million pre-tax release of a reserve related to unused travelers checks in a non-core business in the prior year.

GLOBAL CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK

        Global Corporate and Investment Bank (GCIB) serves corporations, financial institutions, governments, investors and other participants in capital markets throughout the world and consists of Capital Markets and Banking and Transaction Services. The primary businesses in Capital Markets and Banking include Fixed Income, Sales & Trading (which mainly operates in Asia, Latin America, EMEA and Mexico) and Lending.

        GCIB net income of $973 million and $2.831 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months was up $184 million or 23% from the 2002 third quarter and up $313 million or 12% from the 2002 nine months, respectively. The 2003 third quarter reflects net income growth from the comparable 2002 quarter of $110 million or 17% in Capital Markets and Banking and $74 million or 57% in Transaction Services. The 2003 nine months reflects income growth of $160 million or 8% in Capital Markets and Banking and $153 million or 35% in Transaction Services.

        The increase in Capital Markets and Banking net income in the 2003 periods primarily reflects a lower provision for credit losses and increases in the Fixed Income business, partially offset by mark-to-market losses in credit derivatives (which serve as an economic hedge for the loan portfolio) as credit spreads tightened. The increase in the 2003 nine months also reflects the absence of prior-year redenomination losses in Argentina. The increase in Transaction Services net income in the 2003 third quarter is due to a lower provision for credit losses, lower taxes related to a benefit on the sale of an investment and lower expenses resulting from expense control initiatives. Net income in the 2003 nine months increased primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses.

        The businesses of GCIB are significantly affected by the levels of activity in the global capital markets which, in turn, are influenced by macro-economic and political policies and developments, among other factors, in over 100 countries in which the businesses operate. Global economic and market events can have both positive and negative effects on the revenue performance of the businesses and can affect credit performance. Losses on corporate lending activities and the level of cash-basis loans can vary widely with respect to timing and amount, particularly within any narrowly defined business or loan type. Credit costs are expected to continue to improve compared to 2002 levels as the global economy strengthens.

        Capital Markets and Banking delivers a full range of global financial services and products including foreign exchange, structured products, derivatives and lending.

        Capital Markets and Banking net income of $770 million in the 2003 third quarter and $2.244 billion in the 2003 nine months increased $110 million or 17% and $160 million or 8%, respectively, from the 2002 periods primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by losses in credit derivatives as credit spreads tightened. The increase in the 2003 nine months also reflects the absence of prior-year redenomination losses in Argentina.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, of $1.871 billion and $5.905 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months decreased $170 million or 8% from the 2002 third quarter and $371 million or 6% from the 2002 nine months, respectively. Revenue declines in the 2003 periods were driven by mark-to-market losses in credit derivatives as credit spreads tightened, partially offset by increases in Fixed Income and the absence of a prior-year write-down of Argentine sovereign securities.

        Operating expenses of $739 million and $2.400 billion in the 2003 third quarter and nine months increased $270 million or 58% from the 2002 third quarter and $535 million or 29% from the 2002 nine months, respectively, driven by increased Compensation and Benefits expense. The increase in the 2003 nine months also reflects costs associated with the repositioning of the Company's business in Latin America (primarily severance-related and higher legal fees).

        The provision for credit losses of $75 million in the 2003 third quarter is composed of net credit losses of $332 million offset by net reserve releases of $257 million. Net releases include $196 million of writeoffs against specific borrowers as well as additional reserve reductions of $35 million in Mexico, $32.5 million in North America, $16.25 million in Asia and $16.25 million in Latin America, reflecting improving credit trends, offset in part by new reserves of $39 million for specific borrowers. The provision for credit losses of $75 million in the 2003 third quarter and $468 million in the nine months decreased $501 million and $869 million, respectively, primarily due to the absence of prior-year provisions for Argentina and exposures in the telecommunications industry as well as reserve reductions, reflecting improved credit trends.

        Cash-basis loans were $3.571 billion at September 30, 2003, $3.669 billion at June 30, 2003, $3.394 billion at December 31, 2002 and $3.394 billion at September 30, 2002. Cash-basis loans net of write-offs increased $177 million from September 30, 2002, primarily due to increases to borrowers in the power and energy industry, as well as the transfer of loans from Transactions Services ($248 million) offset by decreases due to charge-offs against reserves as well as paydowns. Cash-basis loans decreased $98 million from June 30, 2003, primarily due to charge-offs taken against reserves and paydowns from borrowers in the power and energy and telecommunications industries as well as corporate borrowers in Argentina, Brazil and Hong Kong, offset by increases in Mexico resulting from the transfer of loans from Transaction Services.

Transaction Services

        Transaction Services—which provides cash management, trade finance, custody and clearing services globally—reported net income of $203 million in the 2003 third quarter, up $74 million or 57% from the 2002 third quarter. The increase in the 2003 third quarter is due primarily to a lower provision for credit losses, lower effective tax rates related to a benefit on the sale of an investment and lower expenses resulting from expense control initiatives. Net income in the 2003 nine months increased $153 million or 35% from 2002, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses and a lower effective tax rate.
