CITIGROUP INC. 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 $1.290 billion and $1.208 billion in the 2004 and 2003 second quarters, respectively, and by $2.615 billion and $2.310 billion for the respective six-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 15.

(2)

Risk Capital is defined as the amount of capital needed to cover unexpected economic losses during extreme events. Return on Risk Capital is defined as annualized net income divided by Average Risk Capital. Return on Invested Capital is a similar calculation but includes adjustments for goodwill and intangibles in both the numerator and denominator, similar to those necessary to translate return on tangible equity to return on total equity. Return on Risk Capital and Return on Invested Capital are non-GAAP performance measures. Management believes Return on Risk Capital is useful to make incremental investment decisions and serves as a key metric for organic growth initiatives. Return on Invested Capital is used for multi-year investment decisions and as a long-term performance measure. For a further discussion on Risk Capital, see page 36.

Management Summary

        Net income of $1.144 billion ($0.22 per diluted share) in the 2004 second quarter was down 73% from the 2003 second quarter. These results included a $4.95 billion after-tax charge ($0.95 per diluted share) related to a settlement on class action litigation brought on behalf of purchasers of WorldCom securities and an increase in litigation reserves. The Company has worked to put the economic impact of these matters behind it. After the WorldCom settlement payment, the Company's litigation reserve for these matters will be $6.7 billion on a pretax basis. The quarterly results also included a $756 million after-tax gain ($0.15 per diluted share) on the sale of the Company's equity investment in Samba. Revenues, net of interest expense, increased 15%, reflecting the Samba gain and growth in volumes throughout most businesses. The credit environment in which the Company is operating is the best in years and resulted in $562 million in general and specific reserve releases. Business volumes and growth were strong in the quarter.

        Earnings in the 2004 second quarter included the continued results of the 2003 acquisitions of the Sears Credit Card and Financial Products business and The Home Depot private label card portfolio, the 2004 acquisition of the consumer finance business of Washington Mutual, and the recent acquisition of KorAm Bank in Korea. The Company achieved double-digit income growth in seven of its nine products as well as in each of its international regions. Growth was aided by the rapid expansion of the U.S. economy, as household incomes continue to increase and job creation strongly revived. Trends in global growth, low inflation and low interest rates are consistent with financial conditions that remain stimulative and were favorable to the Company's business in the quarter.

        The Product results for the 2004 second quarter reflect the Company's focus on increasing customer volumes while maintaining expense discipline and the effects of the continuing improving credit environment. The Global Consumer business continued its consistent growth model with net income increasing 37%, led by Cards growth of 34%, reflecting the impact of acquisitions, controlled credit and the addition of over 6 million accounts in our international business. Retail Banking had a record quarter as loan volumes were up 14% from a year ago, while deposits increased 9% with particularly strong growth in the international operations. Consumer Finance's 14% income growth was driven by an increase of 9% in average loans.

        Capital Markets and Banking was the No. 1 Global Debt and Equity underwriter for the 11th consecutive quarter, which helped achieve a 28% increase in net income. Transaction Services income growth of 45% was driven by higher assets under custody and higher liability balances. Reduced credit costs in these businesses, including a $350 million general loan loss reserve release, helped contribute to the higher levels of net income. Private Client Services net income was up 13% from the prior year primarily due to higher recurring revenue items and higher client asset levels. The Global Investment Management business net income was up 7% from the prior-year quarter as a result of business volumes in Life Insurance and Annuities and positive operating leverage in the Private Bank, partially offset by declines in Asset Management, which experienced higher expense growth. Proprietary Investment Activities experienced higher valuations during the quarter which led, in part, to significantly higher income growth.

        During the 2004 second quarter, Citigroup completed its acquisition of KorAm Bank, the seventh-largest commercial bank in Korea, with over 200 branches across that country. The Company sold its stake in Samba and finalized its purchase of Principal Residential Mortgage. The Company will continue to reduce its stake in certain minority holdings, such as the sale of Fubon Financial and reduced holdings of Nikko Cordial.

        The Company's equity stood at more than $98 billion, with equity capital and trust preferred securities growing to over $105 billion at June 30, 2004. During the 2004 second quarter, the Company paid out $2.1 billion in dividends to its common shareholders, an increase of over 100% from the year-ago quarter. The Company maintained its well-capitalized position with a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 8.15% at the end of the quarter.

        During the 2004 second quarter, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $2.5 billion (after-tax) in Equity from Non-owner Sources (a component of Stockholders' Equity) to reflect mark-to-market changes in the value of Available for Sale (AFS) fixed income and equity securities in accordance with SFAS 115 (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Of the $2.5 billion decrease in the AFS portfolio value, $1.9 billion was associated with the Insurance businesses and Banamex. The duration of the AFS securities in the Insurance businesses is closely matched with the related insurance liabilities. The interest rate risk in the Banamex AFS portfolio closely matches the interest rate risk of the customer deposits and capital. These portfolio management practices diminish overall economic exposure to changes in the interest rate environment. The AFS unrealized losses in the 2004 second quarter correspond to sharp increases in medium-and long-term interest rates across both the U.S. and Mexican fixed income markets.

        As global economies continue to strengthen around the world, interest rates have started to rise and are expected to continue. The U.S equity markets were relatively flat for the first six months of 2004 as uncertainties concerning inflation, oil prices, elections and geopolitical risks have weighed against strong economic growth in the U.S. The Company believes it is well-positioned to benefit from its pre-eminent global reach and diversification even in the face of these uncertainties. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 62.

EVENTS IN 2004 and 2003

Settlement on WorldCom Class Action Litigation and Charge for Regulatory and Legal Matters

        During the 2004 second quarter, Citigroup recorded a charge of $7.915 billion ($4.95 billion after-tax) related to a settlement on class action litigation brought on behalf of purchasers of WorldCom securities and an increase in litigation reserves (WorldCom and Litigation Reserve Charge).

        Under the terms of the settlement, Citigroup will make a payment of $2.65 billion, or $1.64 billion after-tax, to the settlement class, which consists of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded securities of WorldCom during the period from April 29, 1999 through and including June 25, 2002. The payment will be allocated between purchasers of WorldCom stock and purchasers of WorldCom bonds. Plaintiffs' attorneys' fees (the amount has not yet been determined) will come out of the settlement amount.

        In connection with the settlement of the WorldCom class action lawsuit, Citigroup has reevaluated its reserves for the numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of the transactions and activities that were the subjects of:

(i)

the April 2003 settlement of the research and IPO spinning-related inquiries conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, the New York Stock Exchange and the New York Attorney General;



(ii)

the July 2003 settlement of the Enron-related inquiries conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Manhattan District Attorney;



(iii)

underwritings for, and research coverage of, WorldCom; and



(iv)

the allocation of, and aftermarket trading in, securities sold in initial public offerings.

        Accordingly, Citigroup increased its reserve for these matters. The Company believes that this reserve is adequate to meet all of its remaining exposure for these matters. However, in view of the large number of these matters, the uncertainties of the timing and outcome of this type of litigation, and the significant amounts involved, it is possible that the ultimate costs of these matters may exceed or be below the reserve. Citigroup will continue to defend itself vigorously in these cases, and seek to resolve them in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company.

        The Company's litigation reserve for these matters following payment of the WorldCom settlement will be $6.7 billion on a pretax basis.

Sale of Samba Financial Group

        On June 15, 2004, the Company sold for cash its 20 percent stake in The Samba Financial Group (Samba), formerly known as the Saudi American Bank, to the Public Investment Fund, a Saudi public sector entity. Citigroup recognized an after-tax gain of $756 million ($1.168 billion pretax) on the sale during the 2004 second quarter. The gain was recognized equally between Global Consumer and GCIB.

Credit Reserve Releases

        During the 2004 second quarter, the Company released $562 million of reserves from its Allowance for Credit Losses reflecting the improved worldwide credit environment, reduced cash-basis loan balances and lower delinquency rates. The releases consisted of $350 million of GCIB general reserves and $212 million in Global Consumer general and specific reserves.

        The 2004 six-month period included $729 million of credit reserve releases, consisting of $500 million in GCIB and $229 million in Global Consumer.

Acquisition of KorAm Bank

        On April 30, 2004, Citigroup completed its tender offer to purchase all the outstanding shares of KorAm Bank (KorAm) at a price of KRW 15,500 per share in cash. In total, Citigroup has acquired 99.3% of KorAm's outstanding shares for a total of KRW 3.07 trillion ($2.73 billion). The results of KorAm are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from May 2004 forward.

        KorAm is a leading commercial bank in Korea, with 223 domestic branches and total assets at June 30, 2004 of $37 billion. In the 2004 fourth quarter, Citigroup plans to merge its Citibank Korea Branch into KorAm. On June 25, 2004, the union employees of KorAm initiated a strike that was settled on July 12, 2004. Approximately 70% of KorAm's workers were out during that time resulting in the temporary closure of 170 of its branches.

Acquisition of Principal Residential Mortgage, Inc.

        On July 1, 2004, Citigroup completed the acquisition of Principal Residential Mortgage, Inc. (PRMI) from Acquire Principal Residential Mortgage, Inc. for $1.3 billion in cash. PRMI, one of the largest independent mortgage servicers in the United States, originates, purchases, sells and services home loans, consisting primarily of conventional, conforming, fixed-rate prime mortgages.

        The transaction includes approximately $6.6 billion in assets and also includes $137 million of franchise premium, subject to the finalization of the purchase price allocation.

Divestiture of Citicorp Electronic Financial Services Inc.

        During January 2004, the Company completed the sale for cash of Citicorp's Electronic Financial Services Inc. (EFS), a subsidiary of Citigroup, for $390 million (pretax). EFS is a provider of government-issued benefits payments and prepaid stored value cards used by state and federal government agencies, as well as of stored value services for private institutions. The sale of EFS resulted in an after-tax gain of $180 million in the 2004 first quarter.

Acquisition of Washington Mutual Finance Corporation

        On January 9, 2004, Citigroup completed the acquisition of Washington Mutual Finance Corporation (WMF) for $1.25 billion in cash. WMF was the consumer finance subsidiary of Washington Mutual, Inc. WMF provides direct consumer installment loans and real-estate-secured loans, as well as sales finance and the sale of insurance. The acquisition includes 427 WMF offices located in 26 states, primarily in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. WMF has more than 2,300 employees and total assets of $3.8 billion. Citicorp has guaranteed all outstanding unsecured indebtedness of WMF in connection with this acquisition. The results of WMF are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from January 2004 forward.

Acquisition of Sears' Credit Card and Financial Products Business

        On November 3, 2003, Citigroup acquired the Sears' Credit Card and Financial Products business (Sears). Approximately $28.6 billion of gross receivables were acquired for a 10% premium of $2.9 billion and annual performance payments over the next 10 years based on new accounts, retail sales volume, and financial product sales. Approximately $5.8 billion of intangible assets and goodwill have been recorded as a result of this transaction. In addition, the companies signed a multi-year marketing and servicing agreement across a range of each company's businesses, products, and services. The results of Sears are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from November 2003 forward.

Acquisition of The Home Depot's Private-Label Portfolio

        See individual segment and product discussions on pages 14 - 35 for additional discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations.

Revenues, Net of Interest Expense

        Total revenues, net of interest expense, of $22.3 billion and $43.8 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six-month period, respectively, were up $2.9 billion or 15% and $5.9 billion or 16% from the respective 2003 periods and included $1.2 billion related to the gain on sale of Samba. Global Consumer revenues were up $2.1 billion or 21% in the 2004 second quarter to $12.1 billion, and were up $3.8 billion or 20% from the 2003 six months to $23.6 billion. The increase was led by a $1.2 billion or 36% increase in Cards from the 2003 second quarter and a $2.5 billion or 37% increase from the 2003 six months, reflecting the results of the acquisitions of the Sears and Home Depot portfolios. Consumer Finance revenues increased $225 million or 9% and $353 million or 7% from the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, primarily reflecting the integration of the Washington Mutual consumer finance business. Retail Banking revenues increased $192 million or 5% and $523 million or 6% from the 2003 three-and six-month periods, respectively, due primarily to increased international investment product sales and growth in branch lending.

        GCIB revenues of $6.1 billion and $11.5 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six-month period, respectively, increased $627 million or 12% and $1.0 billion or 10% from the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively. There was an increase of $88 million or 10% and $123 million or 7% in Transaction Services from the respective 2003 three- and six-month periods, primarily due to increases in securities services and cash management revenue. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in Capital Markets and Banking of $55 million from the 2003 second quarter, reflecting reduced revenues in fixed income and equity underwriting, while there was a $283 million increase from the 2003 six-month period.

        Private Client Services revenues of $1.6 billion and $3.3 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six-month period, respectively, increased $124 million or 9% and $520 million or 19% from the 2003 three- and six-month periods, respectively, due primarily to higher fee-based revenue. Global Investment Management revenues were $2.2 billion in the 2004 second quarter and $4.5 billion in the first half of 2004, up $79 million or 4% from the 2003 second quarter and $453 million or 11% from the prior-year six-month period. Life Insurance and Annuities revenues increased $61 million or 5% from the 2003 three months and $218 million or 9% from the 2003 six months, related primarily to increasing volumes and improved investment income. Asset Management noted increases of $34 million or 9% and $138 million or 19% from the 2003 three- and six-month periods, respectively. Private Bank noted a decrease of $16 million or 3% from the second quarter of 2003 but an increase of $97 million or 10% from the 2003 six-month period. Revenues from Proprietary Investment Activities in the 2004 second quarter and six-month period increased $312 million and $339 million, respectively, from the 2003 periods.

Selected Revenue Items

        Net interest revenue of $11.2 billion and $22.5 billion in the 2004 three- and six-month periods, respectively, increased $1.6 billion or 16% and $3.2 billion or 17% from the respective 2003 periods, primarily reflecting the impact of acquisitions, a changing rate environment and business volume growth in certain markets.

        Total commissions, asset management and administration fees, and other fee revenues of $6.1 billion and $12.2 billion increased by $737 million or 14% and $1.8 billion or 18% compared to the 2003 second quarter and six-month period, respectively, primarily as a result of higher Private Client Services customer activities and assets under fee-based management. Insurance premiums of $896

11

million and $1.8 billion in the 2004 three- and six-month periods, respectively, were up $57 million or 7% and $111 million or 7%, compared to a year ago primarily reflecting organic growth.

        Principal transactions revenues were $1.0 billion and $2.4 billion in the 2004 three- and six-month periods, respectively, down $269 million or 21% and $521 million or 18% from the respective year-ago periods due primarily to decreased volatility and lower FX trading. Realized gains from sales of investments were up $16 million from the second quarter of 2003 to $204 million and down $8 million to $342 million in the 2004 six-month period, primarily due to lower gains on the investment portfolio in 2004. Other revenue of $2.8 billion and $4.6 billion in the three- and six-month periods of 2004, respectively, increased $823 million and $1.2 billion from the 2003 second quarter and six-month period, respectively, primarily reflecting the $1.2 billion gain on the sale of Samba, partially offset in the quarterly comparison from decreases in revenue earned from securitization activity and SFAS 133 hedging activities in the mortgage business.

Operating Expenses

        Total operating expenses were $18.6 billion and $29.3 billion for the 2004 second quarter and six-month periods, up $8.7 billion and $9.8 billion from the comparable 2003 periods. The increases primarily reflected the $7.9 billion pretax reserve for the WorldCom and Litigation Reserve Charge and the impact of acquisitions.

        Expenses in the GCIB increased $8.0 billion from both the 2003 second quarter and six-month period, primarily due to the WorldCom and Litigation Reserve Charge. Global Consumer expenses were up 16% and 17% from the 2003 second quarter and six-month period, respectively, driven by acquisitions as well as increased marketing and advertising costs. Private Client Services expenses increased 7% and 15% from the 2003 periods primarily due to higher production-related compensation reflecting increased revenue and higher legal costs. Global Investment Management noted a 6% and 15% increase in expenses from the 2003 second quarter and six-month period, respectively, and Proprietary Investments Activities noted a 35% and 24% increase from the three- and six-month periods of 2003.

Benefits, Claims, and Credit Losses

        Benefits, claims, and credit losses were $2.4 billion and $5.5 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six-month period, down $649 million and $467 million from the respective 2003 periods. Global Consumer provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses of $2.1 billion and $4.6 billion were up 2% and 10% from the 2003 second quarter and six months, reflecting the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by an improved credit environment which resulted in credit reserve releases.

        GCIB provision for credit losses of ($347) million in the 2004 second quarter decreased $645 million from the year-ago level, due to loan loss reserve releases resulting from the overall improvement in the credit environment.

        Corporate cash-basis loans at June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $2.6 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively, while the corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) portfolio totaled $98 million and $89 million, respectively. The decrease in corporate cash-basis loans from June 30, 2003 was related to improvements in the overall credit environment, write-offs, and sales of loans in the portfolio. Corporate cash-basis loans decreased $294 million from March 31, 2004, and $800 million from December 31, 2003.

Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax rate of 4.0% in the 2004 second quarter reflected the tax benefits for not providing U.S. income taxes on the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely invested. These benefits, among other items, were applied to the lower level of consolidated earnings in the 2004 second quarter. Without the impact of the separately-reported WorldCom and Litigation Reserve Charge and gain on sale of Samba, the 2004 second quarter effective tax rate would have been 32.6%.

        The 2003 second quarter tax rate was 31.1% and included a $94 million release of a tax reserve in Japan related to a settlement with the authorities and the benefit of indefinitely invested international earnings.

Regulatory Capital

        Total capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) was $91.4 billion or 11.31% of net risk-adjusted assets, and Tier 1 Capital was $65.9 billion or 8.16% of net risk-adjusted assets at June 30, 2004, compared to $90.3 billion or 12.04% and $66.9 billion or 8.91%, respectively, at December 31, 2003.

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 five 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, Argentina and Legal Reserves. The Company, in consultation with the Audit Committee, has reviewed and approved these significant accounting policies, which are further described in the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

GLOBAL CONSUMER

(1)

See Footnote (2) to the table on page 5.

        Global Consumer reported net income of $3.066 billion and $5.641 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, up $825 million or 37% and $1.278 billion or 29% from the comparable 2003 periods, driven by double-digit growth across all products, including the $378 million gain on the sale of Samba. Cards net income increased $254 million or 34% in the 2004 second quarter and $517 million or 35% in the 2004 six-month period from the comparable periods of 2003, mainly reflecting the addition of the Sears, Home Depot and KorAm portfolios, an improved credit environment, and the impact of a lower effective tax rate. Retail Banking net income increased $151 million or 15% in the 2004 second quarter and $343 million or 18% in the 2004 six months from the comparable periods of 2003, primarily reflecting international growth in all regions driven by increases in wealth management products and lending, and the KorAm acquisition in Asia, combined with improved credit in North America. Consumer Finance net income increased $73 million or 14% in the 2004 second quarter and $137 million or 13% in the 2004 six months from prior-year periods, primarily reflecting growth in North America, including the acquisition of WMF, and strong international growth in all regions, partially offset by the absence of a prior-year $94 million tax release in Japan.

        In the 2004 second quarter, Citigroup completed the acquisition of KorAm, which added $10.0 billion in deposits and $12.6 billion in loans, with $11.5 billion in Retail Banking and $1.1 billion in Cards at June 30, 2004. In January 2004, Citigroup completed the acquisition of WMF, which added $3.8 billion in average loans and 427 loan offices. In November 2003, Citigroup completed the acquisition of Sears, which added $15.4 billion of private-label card receivables, $13.2 billion of bankcard receivables and 32 million accounts. In July 2003, Citigroup completed the acquisition of the Home Depot portfolio, which added $6 billion in receivables and 12 million accounts. In July 2003, Citigroup also acquired the remaining stake in Diners Club Europe, adding 1 million accounts and $0.6 billion of receivables. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases; therefore, their results are included in the Global Consumer results from the dates of acquisition.

Global Consumer Net Income—Regional View

NM Not meaningful

        The increase in Global Consumer net income in both the 2004 second quarter and six-month period reflected growth in all regions except Japan. North America (excluding Mexico) net income grew by 18% in both the 2004 second quarter and six months, reflecting the impact of acquisitions and an improved credit environment, resulting in lower net credit losses and credit reserve releases. Mexico contributed net income growth of $31 million and $103 million in the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, driven by the impact of loan growth in Cards and lower funding costs. EMEA net income grew $446 million and $501 million in the 2004 second quarter and six months, primarily reflecting the $378 million gain on the sale of Samba in the 2004 second quarter, which is reflected in Consumer Other, and higher wealth management sales and lending in Retail Banking. Income in Japan declined 25% and 22% in the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, primarily reflecting the absence of a $94 million prior-year tax release in

14

Consumer Finance. Growth in Asia of $82 million or 41% and $143 million or 37% in the 2004 second quarter and six month periods, respectively, was mainly due to higher wealth management sales in Retail Banking, improved credit and growth in Cards, and the impact of KorAm. The increase in Latin America of $44 million in the 2004 second quarter and $68 million in the 2004 six months was mainly due to improvements in Argentina, including the absence of prior-year repositioning costs in both Retail Banking and Consumer Finance.

Cards

(1)

See Footnote (2) to the table on page 5.

        Cards reported net income of $1.012 billion and $1.992 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, up $254 million or 34% and $517 million or 35% from the 2003 periods. North America cards reported net income of $850 million and $1.682 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, up $201 million or 31% and $415 million or 33% from the 2003 periods, mainly reflecting the Sears and Home Depot acquisitions, an improved credit environment including the impact of a $60 million credit reserve release, higher sales, and the benefit of a lower effective tax rate. International cards net income of $162 million and $310 million in the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, increased 49% from both the 2003 second quarter and six-month period, reflecting receivables growth, improved credit, a lower effective tax rate and the addition of KorAm.

        As shown in the following table, average managed loans grew 22% in both the 2004 second quarter and six months, reflecting growth of 21% in North America in both periods and 31% and 27%, respectively, in International Cards. In North America, the addition of the Sears and Home Depot portfolios and growth in Mexico were partially offset by a decline in introductory promotional rate balances that was driven by a change in account acquisition marketing strategies in 2003, as well as the sale of $1.7 billion of non-strategic portfolios in 2003. International Cards growth reflected growth in all regions led by Asia and EMEA, which included the addition of KorAm and Diners Club Europe, respectively, and the benefit of strengthening currencies.

        Total card sales were $87.0 billion and $166.1 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, up 27% and 24% from the 2003 periods. North America sales were up 24% and 22% over the prior-year quarter and six months to $74.3 billion and $142.1 billion, respectively, reflecting the impact of acquisitions and higher purchase sales. International Cards sales grew 41% and 36% over the prior-year quarter and six months to $12.7 billion and $24.0 billion, reflecting broad-based growth led by Asia and EMEA, again reflecting the addition of KorAm and Diners Club Europe, respectively, and the benefit of strengthening currencies.

15

        Revenues, net of interest expense, of $4.467 billion and $9.065 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, increased $1.171 billion or 36% and $2.463 billion or 37% from the 2003 periods. Revenue growth in North America of $997 million or 37% and $2.149 billion or 40% in the 2004 second quarter and six months was mainly due to the impact of acquisitions, net interest margin expansion, the benefit of increased purchase sales, and increased loans in Mexico. Revenue growth in North America was partially offset by increased credit losses on securitized receivables (which are recorded as a contra-revenue item after receivables are securitized), the absence of a 2003 second quarter gain from the sale of $1.7 billion in non-strategic portfolios, and the absence of net gains of $69 million and $215 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months resulting from changes in estimates related to the timing of revenue recognition on securitized portfolios. Revenue growth in International Cards of $174 million or 29% and $314 million or 26% in the 2004 second quarter and six months was mainly driven by loan and sales growth in all regions, the additions of Diners Club Europe and KorAm, and the benefit of foreign currency translation.

        Operating expenses in the 2004 second quarter and six months of $1.964 billion and $3.902 billion were $501 million or 34% and $993 million or 34% higher than the prior-year periods, primarily reflecting the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation, combined with increased marketing and advertising costs in both North America and International Cards.

        The provision for credit losses in the 2004 second quarter and six months was $1.015 billion and $2.243 billion, respectively, compared to $678 million and $1.452 billion in the prior-year periods. The increase in the provision for credit losses was mainly in North America and reflected the impact of the Sears and Home Depot acquisitions. These acquisitions more than offset a decline in net credit losses and the release of credit reserves of $69 million resulting from the improved credit environment, as well as the impact of increased levels of securitized receivables.

        The securitization of credit card receivables is limited to the CitiCards business within North America. At June 30, 2004, securitized credit card receivables were $76.4 billion, compared to $72.0 billion at June 30, 2003. Credit card receivables held-for-sale were $6.3 billion at June 30, 2004 compared to $3.0 billion a year ago. Because securitization changes Citigroup's role from that of a lender to that of a loan servicer, it removes the receivables from Citigroup'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, commission and fees revenue, and credit losses on loans are instead reported as commission and fees 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 term of the transaction may vary depending on the credit performance of the securitized receivables. However, Citigroup's exposure to credit losses on the securitized receivables is limited to the cash flows from the receivables.

        Including securitized receivables and receivables held-for-sale, managed net credit losses in the 2004 second quarter were $2.373 billion, with a related loss ratio of 6.27%, compared to $2.554 billion and 6.69% in the 2004 first quarter, and $1.887 billion and 6.08% in the 2003 second quarter. The increase in the ratio from the prior-year second quarter reflected the addition of the Sears portfolio, which impacted both the bankcard and private label portfolios in North America, as well as the impact of lower introductory promotional rate balances, and was partially offset by the improved credit environments in North America and the International regions, led by Asia. The decrease in the ratio versus the 2004 first quarter primarily reflects the improved credit environment.

        Loans delinquent 90 days or more on a managed basis were $2.808 billion or 1.82% of loans at June 30, 2004, compared to $3.152 billion or 2.08% at March 31, 2004 and $2.313 billion or 1.88% at June 30, 2003. The net impact of acquisitions was more than offset by the improved credit environment in driving the declines versus both the prior year and the prior quarter.

        Consumer Finance reported net income of $594 million and $1.161 billion in the 2004 second quarter and six months, respectively, up $73 million or 14% and $137 million or 13% from the comparable 2003 periods, principally reflecting growth in North America, including the acquisition of WMF, and strong international growth in all regions, except for a decline in Japan. The decline in Japan resulted from the absence of a $94 million prior-year tax reserve release related to a settlement with tax authorities.

        As shown in the preceding table, average loans grew $8.0 billion or 9% compared to the 2003 second quarter, reflecting growth in North America of $7.8 billion. North American growth reflected the addition of WMF, which contributed $3.8 billion in average loans, and growth in real estate-secured and auto loans. Growth in the International markets was driven by real estate-secured and personal loans in both EMEA and Asia, and included the impact of strengthening currencies. In Japan, average loans in both the 2004 second quarter and six-month period declined 5% from the comparable 2003 periods, as the benefit of foreign currency translation was more than offset by the impact of higher pay-downs, reduced loan demand, and tighter underwriting standards.

        As shown in the following table, the average net interest margin of 10.19% in the 2004 second quarter increased 11 basis points from the 2003 second quarter, reflecting increases in both North America and International Consumer Finance. In North America, the average net interest margin was 8.52% in the 2004 second quarter, increasing 12 basis points from the prior-year quarter, as the benefit of lower cost of funds and the addition of WMF was partially offset by lower yields. The decline in yields in North America reflected the lower interest rate environment and the continued shift to higher-quality credits, particularly in the auto loan business. The average net interest margin for International Consumer Finance was 16.33% in the 2004 second quarter, increasing 64 basis points from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by margin expansion in EMEA and Asia due to lower funding costs and improved yields, and improvement in Japan. The increase in Japan primarily resulted from fewer adjustments and refunds of interest, and lower funding costs.
