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 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 $1.166 billion and $1.325 billion in the 2005 and 2004 first quarters, respectively. Although a managed basis presentation is not in conformity with GAAP, management 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 17.

(2)
Discontinued operations represents the operations described in the Company's January 31, 2005 announced agreement for the sale of Citigroup's Travelers Life & Annuity, substantially all of Citigroup's international insurance business and Citigroup's Argentine pension business to Met Life, Inc. The transaction is subject to certain domestic and international regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions to closing, and is expected to close during the 2005 third quarter. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3)
The return on average common stockholders' equity is calculated using net income after deducting preferred stock dividends.

(4)
Risk capital is defined as the amount of capital required to absorb potential unexpected economic losses resulting from extremely severe events over a one-year time period. Return on risk capital is calculated as net income divided by average risk capital. Invested capital is defined as risk capital plus Goodwill and Intangible assets excluding Mortgage Servicing Rights, which are a component of risk capital. Return on invested capital is calculated using income adjusted to exclude a net internal charge Citigroup levies on the goodwill and intangible assets of each business offset by each business's share of the rebate of the goodwill and intangible asset charge. Return on risk capital and return on invested capital are non-GAAP performance measures. Management uses return on risk capital to assess businesses' operating performance and to allocate Citigroup's balance sheet and risk capital capacity. Return on invested capital is used to assess returns on potential acquisitions and divestitures and to compare long-term performance of businesses with differing proportions of organic and acquired growth. For a further discussion on risk capital, see page 36.

Management Summary

        Income from continuing operations of $5.168 billion in the 2005 first quarter was up 3% from the 2004 first quarter. The strength of the Company's Global Consumer and Alternative Investments businesses more than offset weaknesses in the Wealth Management and Asset Management businesses. Revenue growth of 6% during the quarter was driven by record revenues in Retail Banking, Transaction Services and Fixed Income Markets. These increases were diversified across the Company's six regions.

        Expenses increased 12% from year-ago levels. Approximately half of the increase was driven by $435 million in repositioning costs, as well as growth in investment spending. The remaining growth was split equally between acquisitions/foreign exchange and underlying growth. Expenses were flat compared to the 2004 fourth quarter.

        The results for the 2005 first quarter reflect the Company's focus on combining world-class products and superior customer service to increase business volumes while maintaining expense discipline. Average loans increased 14% during the quarter, average deposits grew by 15% and average earning assets were up 16%. During the first quarter, the Company continued to invest in its franchises, adding 83 net new branches.

        The credit environment continued to remain favorable for the Company. Global Consumer loss rates in the quarter improved to 2.62% on a managed basis, excluding commercial business, representing an 11 basis point decline from the 2004 fourth quarter. Corporate cash-basis loans declined 9% from December 31, 2004, to $1.73 billion. The Company did not record significant loan loss reserve releases from an improved credit environment during the quarter, as it had during the past several quarters.

        During the 2005 first quarter, Citigroup announced the sale of substantially all of Life Insurance and Annuities, the sale of a portfolio of manufactured housing loans and completed the sale of CitiCapital's Transportation Finance Business.

        The Company continued to allocate resources to build its growth franchises through branch expansion, advertising, technology and people. The Company closed the acquisition of First American Bank (FAB), providing an important presence in the attractive Texas retail banking market. All of these actions reflect a sharpened focus on Citigroup's long-term growth and a rigorous approach to the use of shareholders' capital.

        The Company's equity surpassed $110 billion, with equity capital and trust preferred securities growing to more than $116 billion at March 31, 2005. In January 2005, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend by 10 percent to 44 cents per share. The Company paid out $2.3 billion in dividends during the quarter to its common shareholders, an increase of 11% from the year-ago quarter. The Company maintained its "well-capitalized" position with a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 8.78% at the end of the quarter. The Company reported a return on common equity in excess of 20%.

        In April 2005, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $15 billion of our common stock bringing the total authorization to $16.3 billion. The Company repurchased 19 million shares during the 2005 first quarter.

        During the 2005 first quarter, the Company began the implementation of its Five Point Plan. The Five Point Plan strengthens a foundation of values, priorities and internal controls that are essential for sustained long-term growth. Implementation of the Five Point Plan is the Company's top priority.

        In connection with its approval of the FAB transaction, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) said in its order, dated March 16, 2005, that it expected Citigroup would not "undertake significant expansion during the implementation period [of the Five Point Plan]. The [FRB] believes it important that management's attention not be diverted from these efforts by the demands that mergers and acquisitions place on management resources."

EVENTS IN 2005 and 2004

        Certain of the statements below are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 64.

Sale of Travelers Life & Annuity and Substantially All International Insurance Businesses

        On January 31, 2005, the Company announced an agreement for the sale of Citigroup's Travelers Life & Annuity, and substantially all of Citigroup's international insurance businesses, to MetLife, Inc. (MetLife) for $11.5 billion, subject to closing adjustments. The transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies. Under the terms of the transaction, Citigroup will receive up to $3.0 billion in MetLife equity securities and the balance in cash, which will result in an after-tax gain of approximately $2.0 billion, subject to closing adjustments.

        The transaction encompasses Travelers Life & Annuity's U.S. businesses and its international operations other than Citigroup's life business in Mexico (which is now included within Retail Banking). International operations include wholly owned insurance companies in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, and Poland; joint ventures in Japan and Hong Kong; and offices in China. The sale transaction also includes Citigroup's Argentine pension business. (The transaction described in the preceding two paragraphs is referred to herein as the Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business).

        In connection with the transaction, Citigroup and MetLife have entered into ten-year agreements under which MetLife will make products available through certain Citigroup distribution channels, subject to appropriate suitability and other standards.

        The transaction is subject to certain domestic and international regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions to closing, and is expected to close during the 2005 third quarter.

        The businesses being acquired by MetLife generated total revenues of $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion and net income of $273 million and $249 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. These businesses had total assets of $95 billion at March 31, 2005.

        The Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business will allow Citigroup to redeploy capital to higher growth and higher return opportunities and to maximize shareholder returns, including the repurchase of shares. The businesses being sold were the primary vehicles through which Citigroup engaged in the Life Insurance and Annuities business.

        Results for all of the businesses included in the Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business are recorded separately as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the businesses being sold are included in Assets of discontinued operations held for sale and Liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Repositioning Charges

        The Company recorded $435 million ($272 million after-tax) in charges during the 2005 first quarter for repositioning costs. The repositioning charges were predominantly severance-related costs recorded in CIB ($151 million after-tax) and in Global Consumer ($95 million after-tax). These repositioning actions are consistent with the Company's objectives of controlling expenses while continuing to invest in growth opportunities.

Resolution of Glendale Litigation

        During the 2005 first quarter, the Company recorded a $72 million after-tax gain following the resolution of Glendale Federal Bank v. United States, an action brought by Glendale Federal Bank, a predecessor to Citibank (West), FSB, against the United States government.

Acquisition of First American Bank

        On March 31, 2005, Citigroup completed its acquisition of First American Bank in Texas (FAB). The transaction establishes Citigroup's retail branch presence in Texas, giving Citigroup 106 branches, $4.2 billion in assets and approximately 120,000 new customers in the state.

Divestiture of the Manufactured Housing Loan Portfolio

        In March 2005, Citigroup announced an agreement to sell its manufactured housing loan portfolio, consisting of $1.4 billion in loans, to 21st Mortgage Corp. The Company recognized a $109 million after-tax loss in the 2005 first quarter related to the divestiture. The sale is subject to customary regulatory approvals.

10


Divestiture of CitiCapital's Transportation Finance Business

        On November 22, 2004, the Company reached an agreement to sell CitiCapital's Transportation Finance Business based in Dallas and Toronto to GE Commercial Finance for total cash consideration of approximately $4.6 billion. The sale, which was completed on January 31, 2005, resulted in an after-tax gain of $111 million.

Shutdown of the Private Bank in Japan and Related Charge and Other Activities in Japan

        The Financial Services Agency of Japan (FSA) issued an administrative order against Citibank Japan in September 2004. This order requires Citigroup to exit all private banking operations in Japan by September 30, 2005. In accordance with the order, the Private Bank division of Citibank Japan suspended all new transactions with its customers beginning on September 29, 2004.

        In connection with the exiting of private banking operations in Japan, the Company is performing a comprehensive review of the Private Bank's customers and products to develop an appropriate exit plan. During the 2004 fourth quarter, the Company recorded a $400 million ($244 million after-tax) charge related to its anticipated exit plan implementation (Exit Plan Charge). Implementation of the plan may result in additional charges in future periods.

        The Company's Private Bank operations in Japan had total revenues, net of interest expense, of $200 million and net income of $39 million (excluding the Exit Plan Charge) during the year ended December 31, 2004 and $264 million and $83 million, respectively, for 2003.

        On October 25, 2004, Citigroup announced its decision to wind down Cititrust and Banking Corporation (Cititrust), a licensed trust bank in Japan, after concluding that there were internal control, compliance and governance issues in that subsidiary. On April 22, 2005, the FSA issued an administrative order requiring Cititrust to suspend from engaging in all new trust business beginning May 2, 2005. Cititrust is continuing to assure an orderly transition of its relationships with clients.

Sale of Samba Financial Group

        On June 15, 2004, the Company sold, for cash, its 20% equity investment 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 CIB.

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 99.9% of KorAm's outstanding shares for a total of KRW 3.14 trillion ($2.7 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. During the 2004 fourth quarter, KorAm was merged with the Citibank Korea branch to form Citibank Korea Inc.

Credit

        During the 2005 first quarter, the Company continued to experience a favorable world-wide credit environment. The Company released $20 million of general reserves from Global Consumer during the 2005 first quarter consisting of a $17 million net release in the Consumer Finance portfolio and a $3 million net release in Retail Banking. CIB had no general builds or releases during this period. During the 2005 first quarter, the allowance for credit losses declined by $129 million related to credit card securitizations and by $90 million from the sale of CitiCapital's Transportation Finance Business. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company's total allowance for loans, leases and commitments was $11.494 billion and $11.869 billion, respectively.

        During the 2004 first quarter, the Company released $171 million of reserves, consisting of $150 million in CIB and $21 million in Global Consumer. At March 31, 2004, the Company's total allowance for loans, leases and commitments was $13.106 billion.

        Management evaluates the adequacy of loan loss reserves by analyzing probable loss scenarios and economic and geopolitical factors that impact the portfolios. See pages 40 - 44 herein and pages 42 - 43 of Citigroup's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for an additional discussion of the reserve levels and credit process.

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) 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 included 427 WMF offices located in 26 states, primarily in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States, 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.

        See individual segment and product discussions on pages 16 - 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 $21.5 billion in the 2005 first quarter were up $1.3 billion, or 6%, from the 2004 first quarter. Global Consumer revenues were up $481 million, or 4%, in the 2005 first quarter to $12.1 billion, led by a $644 million, or 15%, increase in Retail Banking, reflecting the gain on the divestiture of CitiCapital's Transportation Finance Business and the gain on the resolution of Glendale litigation, as well as growth in customer volumes, and a $62 million, or 2%, increase in Consumer Finance, reflecting an increase in average loans partially offset by a decrease of $22 million in Cards due to spread compression driven by increased cost of funds and higher payment rates versus the prior-year period.

        Corporate and Investment Banking revenues of $6.0 billion in the 2005 first quarter increased $563 million, or 10%, from the 2004 first quarter, including a $368 million or 8% increase in Capital Markets and Banking, reflecting record fixed income market revenue and increased customer activity. Transaction Services increased $195 million or 21% from the 2004 first quarter primarily reflecting higher customer volumes.

        Global Wealth Management revenues of $2.2 billion decreased $132 million, or 6%, from the prior-year period. Smith Barney decreased $63 million, or 4%, from the 2004 first quarter due to the decline in transactional revenue resulting from lower client trading activity. Private Bank decreased $69 million or 12% from the prior year due to the continued wind-down of the Japan business and a decrease in transactional revenue. Asset Management decreased $48 million or 10% from the 2004 first quarter primarily due to a decrease in customer activity. Alternative Investments in the 2005 first quarter increased $686 million from a year ago, primarily due to positive mark-to-market valuations in the private equity portfolio.

Selected Revenue Items

        Net interest revenue of $10.1 billion decreased $530 million, or 5%, from year-ago levels, reflecting the impact of a changing rate environment, business volume growth in certain markets and the impact of acquisitions.

        Total commissions, asset management and administration fees, and other fee revenues of $6.0 billion increased by $188 million, or 3%, compared to the 2004 first quarter, primarily as a result of higher levels of assets under custody and clearing settlement volumes in Transaction Services and Smith Barney.

        Principal transactions revenues of $2.2 billion were up $904 million or 69% from a year ago due to increases in commodities trading and favorable positioning as interest rates increased. Realized gains from sales of investments were up $112 million to $243 million in the 2005 first quarter, primarily due to favorable market fluctuations during the quarter. Other revenue of $2.2 billion increased $490 million, or 29%, from the 2004 first quarter, primarily reflecting increased securitization gains and activity and higher private equity valuations.

13


Operating Expenses

        Total operating expenses were $11.7 billion for the 2005 first quarter, up $1.2 billion, or 12%, from the comparable 2004 period. The increase includes a $435 million charge for repositioning costs, along with increased costs related to acquisitions and higher investment spending.

        Global Consumer expenses were up 10% from the 2004 first quarter, driven by acquisitions as well as increased marketing and advertising costs and repositioning costs. CIB expenses increased 21% from the 2004 first quarter primarily reflecting repositioning costs and increases in non-compensation expenses. Global Wealth Management increased expenses 2% as compared to the prior year's first quarter and Asset Management noted a 1% increase. Alternative Investments expenses increased 21% from 2004 levels.

Benefits, Claims, and Credit Losses

        Benefits, claims, and credit losses were $2.0 billion in the 2005 first quarter, down $427 million, or 17%, from the 2004 first quarter.

        Global Consumer provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses of $2.1 billion in the 2005 first quarter were down $410 million, or 16%, from the 2004 first quarter due to a better overall credit environment, reflecting decreases in Cardsand Consumer Finance, partially offset by increases in Retail Banking. Total net credit losses (excluding Commercial Business) were $1.899 billion and the related loss ratio was 1.98% in the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $2.257 billion and 2.68% in the 2004 first quarter. The consumer loan delinquency ratio (90 days or more past due) decreased to 1.92% at March 31, 2005 from 2.27% at March 31, 2004. See page 42 for a reconciliation of total consumer credit information.

        Corporate and Investment Banking reported net recoveries in the provision for credit losses of ($56) million in the 2005 first quarter, due to recoveries reflecting improved credit quality in the corporate loan portfolio.

        Corporate cash-basis loans at March 31, 2005 and 2004 were $1.7 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, while the corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) portfolio totaled $127 million and $94 million, respectively. The decrease in corporate cash-basis loans from March 31, 2004, was related to improvements in the overall credit environment, write-offs, as well as sales of loans in the portfolio. Corporate cash-basis loans at March 31, 2005, decreased $174 million from December 31, 2004.

Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax rate 32.1% in the 2005 first quarter compared to 31.2% in the 2004 first quarter. The 2004 rate included a credit to the tax provision of $150 million as a result of the closing of certain tax return audits.

Regulatory Capital

        Total capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) was $103.6 billion, or 12.03%, of net risk-adjusted assets, and Tier 1 capital was $75.5 billion, or 8.78%, of net risk-adjusted assets at March 31, 2005, compared to $100.9 billion, or 11.85%, and $74.4 billion, or 8.74%, respectively, at December 31, 2004.

Accounting Changes and Future Application of Accounting Standards

        See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of Accounting Changes and the Future Application of Accounting Standards.

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, Income Taxes and Legal Reserves. The Company, in consultation with the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors, has reviewed and approved these significant accounting policies, which are further described in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


        The net income line in the following business segment and operating unit discussions excludes discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations is disclosed within the Corporate/Other business segment. In addition, the Mexico insurance business is now reported within the Retail Banking business. See Notes 4 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

        Global Consumer reported net income of $2.819 billion in the 2005 first quarter, up $231 million or 9% from the prior-year period, driven by double-digit growth across all products, partially offset by a $109 million after-tax loss on the sale of a Manufactured Housing Loan portfolio in Other Consumer. Retail Banking net income increased $150 million or 13% in the 2005 first quarter, primarily reflecting a $111 million after-tax gain on the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business, a $72 million after-tax gain relating to the resolution of the Glendale litigation, and growth in Asia and Mexico, partially offset by a decline in EMEA due to repositioning costs. Cards net income increased $106 million or 11% in the 2005 first quarter primarily due to an improved credit environment and the impact of securitization gains in North America, growth in sales and volumes, and the benefit of foreign currency translation in International Cards. Consumer Finance net income increased $62 million or 11% in the 2005 first quarter primarily due to lower credit losses, lower expenses and higher volumes in North America, as well as improved International Consumer Finance results due to lower credit losses in Japan and growth in personal loans in Asia; this was partially offset by a deterioration in EMEA, which included repositioning and branch expansion costs.

        On March 31, 2005, Citigroup acquired First American Bank in Texas (FAB), which includes 106 branches, $4.2 billion in assets and approximately 120,000 customers in the state of Texas. On July 1, 2004, Citigroup acquired Principal Residential Mortgage, Inc. (PRMI), a servicing portfolio of $115 billion. 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 Washington Mutual Finance (WMF), which added $3.8 billion in average loans and 427 loan offices. These business acquisitions were accounted for as purchases; therefore, their results are included in the Global Consumer results from the dates of acquisition.

        Global Consumer has divested itself of several non-strategic businesses and portfolios as opportunities to exit became available. These divestitures include a $1.4 billion Manufactured Housing Loan portfolio and the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business, consisting of $4.3 billion of assets, in the 2005 first quarter; Global Consumer's share of Citigroup's 20% stake in Samba in the 2004 second quarter, and a $900 million vendor finance leasing business in Europe in the 2004 fourth quarter.

        The increase in Global Consumer net income in the 2005 first quarter reflected growth in all regions except EMEA, where year-over-year comparisons were affected by repositioning costs, higher investment expenses due to branch expansion and higher credit losses. North America (excluding Mexico) net income grew $157 million or 9%, primarily reflecting the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business and the resolution of the Glendale litigation in Retail Banking and an improved credit environment, partially offset by the loss on the sale of a Manufactured Housing Loan portfolio in Other Consumer. Net income in Mexico grew $57 million or 28%, driven by improved customer volumes in Cards and Retail Banking. Net income in EMEA declined $84 million or 41%, primarily due to the impact of repositioning costs of $66 million after-tax ($104 million pretax), as well as business deterioration in the UK's Consumer Finance and Cards businesses, partially offset by the benefit of foreign currency translation. Income in Japan

16


increased by $33 million or 23% reflecting lower credit costs, primarily driven by lower bankruptcies in Consumer Finance. Growth in Asia of $64 million or 26% was mainly due to higher deposit and branch lending revenues and higher investment product sales in Retail Banking, increased loans and sales in Cards, the addition of KorAm, and the benefit of strengthening currencies. The increase in Latin America of $4 million or 9% was mainly due to increased loans and sales in Cards, partially offset by a decline in Retail Banking, primarily due to the impact of repositioning costs of $8 million after-tax ($12 million pretax).

        Cards reported net income of $1.086 billion in the 2005 first quarter, up $106 million or 11% from the 2004 first quarter. North America Cards reported net income of $911 million, up $79 million or 9% over 2004, mainly reflecting lower net credit losses as a result of the improved credit environment and the impact of securitization gains, partially offset by lower net interest revenue due to increased cost of funds and higher payment rates. International Cards net income of $175 million increased $27 million or 18% over 2004, reflecting higher sales and volumes, the impact of the KorAm acquisition, the benefit of foreign currency translation and lower taxes, partially offset by the impact of repositioning costs of $13 million pretax ($9 million after-tax).

        As shown in the following table, average managed loans grew 5% from the 2004 first quarter, reflecting growth of 3% in North America and 23% in International Cards. Growth in North America is primarily the result of increased marketing efforts in the U.S. and growth in Mexico accounts. International Cards growth reflected increases in all regions and also included the benefit of the KorAm acquisition and strengthening currencies.

        Total card sales were $86.4 billion, up 9% from the 2004 first quarter. North America sales were up 6% over the prior-year quarter to $71.7 billion, reflecting higher purchase volumes. International Cards sales grew 30% over the prior-year quarter to $14.7 billion, reflecting broad-based growth led by Asia, which included the KorAm acquisition, and the benefit of strengthening currencies.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, of $4.576 billion in the 2005 first quarter were essentially unchanged from the prior-year quarter, reflecting a decline in North America of $119 million or 3% and an increase in International Cards of $97 million or 13%. The decline in North America was mainly due to the impact of higher cost of funds and increased payment rates resulting from the overall improved economy, partially offset by higher securitization-related gains of $258 million, higher purchase sales and increased loans in Mexico. Citigroup recognizes a gain on sale upon the securitization of credit card receivables. Prior to 2005, this gain was allocated

17


between Other Revenue and the Provision for Credit Losses, which reflected the portion of the Allowance for Credit Losses related to the receivables sold. Commencing in 2005, the entire gain on sale upon securitization is recorded in Other Revenue.

        In the 2005 first quarter, Other Revenue includes $258 million of gains, of which $129 million corresponds to the allowance for credit losses for the receivables sold.

        Revenue growth in International Cards reflected the benefit of increased loans and sales in all regions, as well as the benefit of foreign currency translation. Leading the growth was Asia, which included the impact of the KorAm acquisition, and Latin America. Offsetting this increase were declines resulting from the repositioning of our UK Cards and Diners' Club businesses in EMEA.

        Operating expenses of $2.077 billion were $139 million or 7% higher than the prior-year quarter, reflecting the impact of the KorAm acquisition, repositioning actions, foreign currency translation, and higher purchased credit card receivable amortization in North America. Repositioning expenses were $32 million pretax, with $19 million in North America and $13 million internationally.

        The provision for credit losses was $910 million in the 2005 first quarter, compared to $1.228 billion in the prior-year quarter. The decline in the provision for credit losses was mainly in North America and reflected the impact of an improved credit environment and higher levels of securitizations.

        The securitization of credit card receivables is limited to the Citi Cards business within North America. At March 31, 2005, securitized credit card receivables were $87.7 billon, compared to $76.2 billion at March 31, 2004. There was $0.6 billion in credit card receivables held for sale at March 31, 2005, compared to zero at March 31, 2004. Securitization changes Citigroup's role from that of a lender to that of a loan servicer, as receivables are removed from the balance sheet but continue to be serviced by Citigroup. As a result, securitization affects the amount of revenue and the manner in which revenue and the provision for credit losses are recorded with respect to securitized receivables.

        A gain is recorded at the time receivables are securitized, representing the difference between the carrying value of the receivables removed from the balance sheet and the fair value of the proceeds received and interests retained. Interests retained from securitization transactions include interest-only strips, which represent the present value of estimated excess cash flows associated with securitized receivables (including estimated credit losses). Collections of these excess cash flows are recorded as commissions and fees revenue (for servicing fees) or other revenue. For loans not securitized, these excess cash flows would otherwise be reported as gross amounts of net interest revenue, commissions and fees revenue and credit losses.

        In addition to interest-only strip assets, Citigroup may retain one or more tranches of certificates issued in securitization transactions, provide escrow cash accounts or subordinate certain principal receivables to collateralize the securitization interests sold to third parties. However, Citigroup's exposure to credit losses on securitized receivables is limited to the amount of the interests retained and collateral provided.

        Including securitized receivables and receivables held for sale, managed net credit losses in the 2005 first quarter were $2.081 billion, with a related loss ratio of 5.23%, compared to $2.150 billion and 5.33% in the 2004 fourth quarter, and $2.554 billion and 6.69% in the 2004 first quarter. In North America, the 2005 first quarter net credit loss ratio of 5.50% declined from 5.59% in the 2004 fourth quarter and 6.99% in the 2004 first quarter. In International Cards, the 2005 first quarter net credit loss ratio of 3.08% declined from 3.16% in the 2004 fourth quarter and 3.85% in the 2004 first quarter. The decline in these ratios from the prior quarter and prior year was primarily due to the improved credit environment, with the international ratios slightly offset by higher ratios in the UK Cards and Diners Club businesses.

        Loans delinquent 90 days or more on a managed basis were $2.753 billion, or 1.74% of loans, at March 31, 2005, compared to $2.944 billion or 1.78% at December 31, 2004 and $3.152 billion or 2.08% at March 31, 2004. The decline in delinquent loans from the prior quarter and prior year was primarily attributable to improved economic environments across most regions. A summary of delinquency and net credit loss experience related to the on-balance sheet loan portfolio is included in the table on page 41.

        Consumer Finance reported net income of $629 million in the 2005 first quarter, up $62 million or 11% from the 2004 first quarter, reflecting continued growth in North America of $56 million or 13% and improvements in International Consumer Finance of $6 million or 5%. Growth in North America was driven by lower credit losses due to the improved credit environment, lower expenses, and higher revenues due to volumes, partially offset by spread compression. The improved international results reflect increases in Japan from lower credit losses and Asia from personal loan growth, partially offset by a deterioration in EMEA driven by repositioning costs, higher expenses related to branch expansion and higher credit losses in the UK.

        As shown in the preceding table, average loans grew $6.8 billion or 7% compared to the 2004 first quarter, reflecting growth in North America of $5.9 billion or 8%, and in International Consumer Finance of $0.9 billion or 4%. Growth in North America resulted from an increase in all products, driven by real estate-secured and auto loans, with the growth in real-estate-secured loans mainly reflecting portfolio acquisitions. Growth in the international markets was mainly driven by an increase in real estate-secured and personal loan portfolios in EMEA and Asia, and the impact of strengthening currencies, partially offset by a continued decline in EMEA auto loans. In Japan, average loans declined 8% from the comparable 2004 period, as the benefit of foreign currency translation was more than offset by the impact of higher pay-downs and reduced loan demand.

        As shown in the following table, the average net interest margin ratio of 9.84% in the 2005 first quarter decreased 32 basis points from 2004, reflecting spread compression in North America, where the average net interest margin was 8.23%, a decline of 46 basis points from the prior-year quarter. The decline in North America resulted from lower yields in the real estate secured, auto and personal loan businesses, which continue to reflect the shift towards higher-quality loans. The average net interest margin for International Consumer Finance was 15.70% in the 2005 first quarter, increasing 35 basis points from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by higher yields in Japan and Asia. The increase in Japan was primarily driven by a change in recording adjustments and refunds of interest in Japan. Prior to the 2004 second quarter, a portion of adjustments and refunds of interest charged to customer accounts were treated as reductions in net interest margin. For all subsequent periods, such adjustments and refunds of interest were accounted for in net credit losses. If all adjustments and refunds of interest were accounted for in net credit losses, the average net interest margin ratio for International Consumer Finance in the 2004 first quarter would have been 15.93%.

gains related to repositioning of assets in the insurance investment portfolio, partially offset by the impact of the lower yields. Revenue in International Consumer Finance increased $52 million or 6% from the 2004 first quarter, mainly due to growth in Asia, EMEA, and Latin America, as well as the impact of foreign currency translation. Japan declined excluding the impact of foreign currency translation due to lower volumes.

        Operating expenses of $960 million in the 2005 first quarter increased $37 million or 4% from the prior-year period due to higher Consumer Finance International expenses of $77 million or 23%, offset by lower expenses in North America of $40 million or 7%. The increase in International was primarily due to repositioning costs in EMEA of $38 million, the impact of foreign currency translation, investment spending associated with branch expansions in Asia, EMEA and Latin America, partially offset by expense savings from branch closings and headcount reductions in Japan. The decline in North America resulted from efficiencies gained from the WMF integration and reductions in legal, and credit and collection costs.

        The provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses were $817 million in the 2005 first quarter, down from $910 million in the 2004 fourth quarter, and $916 million in the 2004 first quarter, primarily reflecting lower net credit losses due to improved credit conditions, a $17 million credit reserve release and the shift to better credit quality portfolios in the U.S., and lower credit losses in Japan due to lower bankruptcy losses. Net credit losses and the related loss ratio were $797 million and 3.08% in the 2005 first quarter, compared to $872 million and 3.33% in the 2004 fourth quarter, and $870 million and 3.57% in the 2004 first quarter. In North America, the 2005 first quarter net credit loss ratio of 2.40% was down from 2.61% in the 2004 fourth quarter and 2.79% in the 2004 first quarter, primarily reflecting improvements in the auto and real-estate secured loans, reflecting better overall credit conditions in the market and the shift to better credit quality portfolios. The net credit loss ratio for International Consumer Finance was 5.59% in the 2005 first quarter, down from 5.92% in the 2004 fourth quarter and 6.31% in the 2004 first quarter. The decrease was driven by lower bankruptcy losses in Japan, and was offset by higher loss rates in all other regions, but primarily EMEA. Adjusting the 2004 first quarter net credit loss ratio for the change in treatment of adjustments and refunds of interest in Japan, as discussed above, would have resulted in an International Consumer Finance net credit loss ratio of 6.89%.

        Loans delinquent 90 days or more were $1.875 billion or 1.80% of loans at March 31, 2005, compared to $2.014 billion or 1.90% at December 31, 2004 and $2.127 billion or 2.15% at March 31, 2004. The decrease in the delinquency ratio versus the prior quarter and prior year was mainly due to improvements in North America and Japan, and was partially offset by increases in EMEA.

        Retail Banking reported net income of $1.285 billion in the 2005 first quarter, up $150 million or 13% from the 2004 first quarter. The increase in Retail Banking was driven by growth in North America Retail Banking of $166 million or 22%, primarily due to a $111 million after-tax gain on the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business, a $72 million after-tax gain relating to the resolution of the Glendale litigation, and growth in Mexico. International Retail Banking net income declined $16 million or 4% driven by declines in EMEA of $39 million or 30%, partially offset by improvements in Asia of $30 million or 18%. The decline in EMEA primarily resulted from higher expenses due to repositioning costs of $36 million after-tax ($58 million pretax), continued investment spending, and higher credit losses, partially offset by revenue growth. The increase in Asia primarily resulted from the KorAm acquisition and broad-based revenue growth, partially offset by continued investment spending.

        As shown in the preceding table, Retail Banking grew 2005 first quarter average customer deposits and average loans by 10% and 24%, respectively, from the prior-year period. Average customer deposit growth in North America of 6% primarily reflected increases in higher-margin demand balances in Retail Distribution, the Commercial Business and Mexico, in money market deposits in Retail Distribution, and in Prime Home Finance mortgage escrow deposits due to the PRMI acquisition, partially offset by declines in Retail Distribution time deposits. Average loan growth in North America of 19% reflected increases in Prime Home Finance, Student Loans, Retail Distribution and Mexico, partially offset by a decline in the Commercial Business primarily due to the 2005 first quarter sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business. In the international markets, average customer deposits grew 17% from the prior year, driven by growth in Asia, EMEA and Latin America, which included the benefits of the KorAm acquisition and foreign currency translation. International Retail Banking average loans grew 43%, primarily reflecting the KorAm acquisition, the impact of foreign currency translation and growth in mortgages and personal loans.

        As shown in the following table, revenues, net of interest expense, of $4.947 billion in the 2005 first quarter increased $644 million or 15% from the 2004 period. Revenues in North America of $3.307 billion increased $409 million or 14% in the 2005 first quarter primarily driven by the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance Business, the resolution of the Glendale litigation, loan and deposit growth, and higher net interest margin in Prime Home Finance, partially offset by lower treasury revenues. Retail Distribution revenues grew $101 million or 13% primarily due to the resolution of the Glendale litigation of $110 million ($72 million after-tax) and the impact of higher loan and deposit volumes, partially offset by lower treasury earnings and fee revenues. The Commercial Business revenues grew $204 million or 43% mainly due to the gain on the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance Business of $161 million ($111 million after-tax) and the reclassification of operating leases from loans to other assets and the related operating lease depreciation expense from revenue to expense, partially offset by lower revenues from the absence of the sold transportation business and lower treasury earnings. The reclassification of operating leases, which began in the 2004 second quarter, increased both revenues and expenses by $123 million in the 2005 first quarter. Prime Home Finance revenues grew $50 million or 11% due to higher net interest margin in the home equity and mortgage businesses, as well as the benefit of the PRMI acquisition, partially offset by lower net servicing and securitization revenues. Student loan revenues declined $17 million or 11% primarily due to lower net interest margin and the absence of a 2004 first quarter securitization gain. Primerica revenues grew $20 million or 4% primarily due to increased life insurance premium revenues from higher volumes, the impact of higher loan volumes and higher realized investment gains, partially offset by lower investment portfolio earnings. Mexico revenues increased $51 million or 9% driven by higher loan, deposit and investment volumes, partially offset by lower treasury earnings, which included the impact of higher capital funding costs. International Retail Banking revenues increased $235 million or 17% in the 2005 first quarter, reflecting improvements in Asia, EMEA and Latin America, and included the impact of strengthening currencies and the addition of KorAm, partially offset by a slight decline in Japan. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and KorAm, growth in Asia, EMEA and Latin America was driven by higher deposit and branch lending revenues. The decline in Japan was driven primarily by declines in investment product fees and deposit revenues.

        Operating expenses in the 2005 first quarter increased $402 million or 18% from the comparable 2004 period. In North America, operating expense growth of $157 million or 10% was mainly driven by the impact of the operating lease reclassification in the Commercial Business of $123 million, repositioning costs of $10 million pretax ($6 million after-tax), higher investment spending and volume-related costs in Retail Distribution, and the impact of the PRMI acquisition. International Retail Banking operating expenses increased $245 million or 33%, mainly reflecting repositioning costs in EMEA of $58 million pretax ($36 million after-tax) and Latin America of $12 million pretax ($8 million after-tax), the impact of foreign currency translation, the addition of KorAm in Asia, and increased investment spending primarily related to branch expansion in Asia, EMEA and Latin America.

        The provisions for benefits, claims and credit losses were $375 million in the 2005 first quarter, up from $368 million in the prior-year period, reflecting higher net credit losses in EMEA, primarily Germany; the absence of a prior-year recovery in Mexico; and the impact of the KorAm acquisition, partially offset by lower credit losses in the Commercial Business due to the improved credit quality of the portfolio. Net credit losses (excluding the Commercial Business) were $192 million and the related loss ratio was 0.46% in the 2005 first quarter, compared to $186 million and 0.46% in the 2004 fourth quarter and $155 million and 0.49% in the prior-year first quarter. The decrease in the net credit loss ratio (excluding the Commercial Business) from the prior-year first quarter was mainly due to the improved credit environment, partially offset by the absence of a prior-year recovery in Mexico. Commercial Business net credit losses were $26 million and the related loss ratio was 0.28% in the 2005 first quarter, compared to $90 million and 0.89% in the 2004 fourth quarter and $50 million and 0.51% in the prior-year first quarter. The improvement in the Commercial Business net credit losses from the prior-year first quarter reflects the improved credit environment, partially offset by higher losses in Asia.

        Loans delinquent 90 days or more (excluding the Commercial Business) were $3.992 billion or 2.30% of loans at March 31, 2005, compared to $4.094 billion or 2.47% at December 31, 2004, and $3.698 billion or 2.86% a year ago. Compared to a year ago, the increase in delinquent loans was primarily due to Prime Home Finance, reflecting the impact of a GNMA portfolio that was purchased in the PRMI acquisition, the impact of foreign currency translation, increases in Student Loans and the addition of KorAm, partially offset by declines in EMEA, primarily Germany, and Latin America.

        Cash-basis loans in the Commercial Business were $593 million or 1.56% of loans at March 31, 2005, compared to $735 million or 1.78% at December 31, 2004 and $1.213 billion or 3.11% a year ago. The decrease in cash-basis loans from the prior year was mainly due to declines in North America (excluding Mexico), where the business continued to work through the liquidation of non-core portfolios, including the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance Business in the 2005 first quarter, and declines in Mexico and EMEA.

        Average assets of $294 billion in the 2005 first quarter increased $53 billion or 22% from the comparable 2004 period. The increase primarily reflected growth in average loans in Prime Home Finance, the impact of the KorAm and PRMI acquisitions, and the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by reductions in the Commercial Business due to continued liquidation of non-core portfolios, including the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business.

Excluding this item, the reduction in losses in the 2005 first quarter was primarily due to the absence of prior-year provisions for litigation reserves, partially offset by higher global marketing and staff-related costs, and lower treasury results, including the impact of higher capital funding costs.

        Revenues, expenses, and the provision for benefits, claims, and credit losses reflect offsets to certain line-item reclassifications reported in other Global Consumer products.

        Corporate and Investment Banking reported net income of $1.679 billion in the 2005 first quarter, down $28 million or 2% from the 2004 first quarter. The 2005 period reflects a decrease of $38 million or 3% in Capital Markets and Banking, partially offset by an increase of $11 million or 5% in Transaction Services. Other Corporate reported a net loss of $5 million in the 2005 first quarter, compared with a net loss of $4 million in the 2004 first quarter.

        Capital Markets and Banking net income of $1.439 billion in the 2005 first quarter decreased $38 million or 3% compared to the 2004 first quarter, primarily due to higher operating expenses, including $212 million pretax in repositioning costs pretax and higher compensation and benefits, partially offset by higher revenues from Fixed Income Markets and Investment Banking.

        Transaction Services net income of $245 million in the 2005 first quarter increased $11 million or 5% from the 2004 first quarter, primarily due to higher revenue reflecting increased liability balances held on behalf of customers and growth in assets under custody, partially offset by higher expenses and increased credit costs.

        The businesses of CIB 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 approximately 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.

        Capital Markets and Banking net income of $1.439 billion in the 2005 first quarter was down $38 million or 3% from the 2004 first quarter primarily due to higher expenses, including repositioning costs of $212 million pretax.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, of $4.899 billion in the 2005 first quarter increased $368 million or 8% from the 2004 first quarter. Revenue growth in the 2005 first quarter was driven by increases in Fixed Income Markets and Investment Banking, partially offset by declines in Equity Markets and Other Capital Markets and Banking. Fixed Income Markets increased primarily due to strong results in commodities and municipals, favorable interest rate positioning, and increased customer activity. Investment Banking increased as strong growth in completed M&A transactions led to an increase in advisory and other fees, which was partially offset by lower equity underwriting volumes and revenues. Equity Markets declined primarily due to weakness in derivative and convertible activity, partially offset by an increase in cash market volumes. Other Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to the transfer of an interest-generating loan portfolio to Fixed Income Markets in the 2004 third quarter, a negative mark-to-market adjustment on a firm investment, and the impact of the sell-down of Nikko Cordial in the 2004 third quarter.

        Operating expenses of $2.859 billion in the 2005 first quarter increased $505 million or 21% from the 2004 first quarter primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expense (primarily reflecting repositioning costs of $212 million pretax), increased investment spending on strategic growth initiatives and the impact of acquisitions of Knight, Lava Trading and KorAm.

        Net credit recoveries in the provision for credit losses of $46 million in the 2005 first quarter, was down $20 million from the 2004 first quarter, primarily reflecting the continuing positive credit environment, partially offset by the absence of loan loss reserve releases recorded in the 2004 first quarter.

        Cash-basis loans were $1.655 billion at March 31, 2005, compared to $1.794 billion at December 31, 2004, and $2.811 billion at March 31, 2004. Cash-basis loans net of write-offs decreased $1.156 billion from March 31, 2004, primarily due to charge-offs against reserves as well as paydowns from corporate borrowers in Argentina, North America, Mexico, and Australia, partially offset by increases in Korea reflecting the acquisition of KorAm. Cash-basis loans decreased $139 million from December 31, 2004, primarily due to asset sales and paydowns in Argentina and Brazil.

        Transaction Services reported net income of $245 million in the 2005 first quarter, up $11 million or 5% from the prior year, primarily due to revenue reflecting growth in liability balances, assets under custody and fees, improved spreads in Cash Management, a benefit from foreign currency translation, and the impact of the KorAm acquisition, partially offset by higher expenses, which included $31 million pretax of repositioning costs.

        As shown in the following table, average liability balances of $139 billion grew 25% compared to the 2004 first quarter, primarily due to increases in Asia and Europe reflecting positive flow and the impact of the KorAm acquisition. Assets under custody reached $8 trillion, an increase of $1.4 trillion or 21% compared to 2004, primarily reflecting increased customer volumes, market appreciation and a benefit from foreign currency translation.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, increased $195 million or 21% to $1.134 billion in the 2005 first quarter, reflecting growth in all business units. Revenue in Cash Management increased $136 million or 26% from the prior year, mainly due to growth in liability balances, improved spreads, the impact of the KorAm acquisition, a benefit from foreign currency translation and increased fees. Revenue in Securities Services increased $56 million or 20% from the prior year, primarily reflecting higher assets under custody and fees, and the impact of acquisitions, including ABN Amro's client custody business, which closed this quarter. Trade revenue increased $3 million or 2% from the prior year, primarily due to higher trade assets, offset by lower spreads.

        Operating expenses increased $143 million or 22% in the first quarter of 2005 to $801 million, including $31 million of repositioning costs. Excluding the repositioning costs, operating expenses increased 17% versus the prior year, primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation and higher business volumes, including the effect of acquisitions, as well as increased compensation and benefits costs.

        Net credit recoveries in the provision for credit losses of $13 million in the first quarter of 2005 increased by $21 million, primarily due to general loan loss reserve releases of $22 million in the first quarter of 2004, improving credit quality and current period net credit recoveries in Latin America.

        Cash-basis loans, which in the Transaction Services business are primarily trade finance receivables, were $77 million, $112 million, and $102 million at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004, and March 31, 2004, respectively. Cash-basis loans decreased $25 million from March 31, 2004, primarily due to reductions in cash-basis loans in Argentina and Brazil. The decrease in cash-basis loans of $35 million from December 31, 2004 was primarily due to charge-offs in Poland, India, Argentina and Mexico.

        Global Wealth Management reported net income of $317 million in the first quarter of 2005, a decrease of $93 million or 23% from 2004, reflecting a decline in both Smith Barney and Private Bank. Smith Barney net income of $195 million in the 2005 first quarter decreased $56 million or 22% from 2004, primarily due to lower transactional revenue, higher legal expenses, and repositioning costs, which were partially offset by higher asset-based fee revenue. Private Bank net income of $122 million in 2005 decreased $37 million or 23% compared to 2004, primarily driven by a $34 million decline resulting from the continued wind-down of the business in Japan. Excluding Japan, Private Bank income was down $3 million or 2% from the 2004 first quarter, as growth in recurring fee-based and net interest revenues and improved credit were offset by lower transactional revenue.

        Global Wealth Management net income of $317 million in the first quarter of 2005 decreased $93 million or 23% from the 2004 first quarter as a result of a $43 million decline in North America (excluding Mexico), a $34 million decline in Japan, a $10 million decline in EMEA, and lower earnings of $3 million in both Mexico and Latin America. Asia results were unchanged from the prior year. Income in North America (excluding Mexico) was $271 million, down $43 million or 14% from the 2004 first quarter as a $56 million decline in Smith Barney was partially offset by growth in Private Bank. Income in Private Bank grew $13 million or 22%, primarily reflecting improved credit and increased banking and lending volumes that were partially offset by net interest margin compression. In Japan, the wind-down of Private Bank business resulted in a loss of $8 million in the 2005 first quarter compared to income of $26 million in the prior-year quarter. EMEA results, which declined $10 million from the prior-year quarter, included lower transactional-based revenues and repositioning expenses in the current period. Compared to the 2004 first quarter, income was down $3 million or 19% in Mexico, and down $3 million or 30% in Latin America, while in Asia income was unchanged, all reflecting lower transactional-based revenues.

        Smith Barney net income of $195 million in the 2005 first quarter decreased $56 million or 22% from the 2004 first quarter, primarily due to lower transactional revenue, higher legal expenses, and repositioning costs of $17 million after-tax, which were partially offset by higher asset-based fee revenue.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, of $1.666 billion in the 2005 first quarter decreased $63 million or 4% from the prior-year period, primarily due to decreases in transactional revenue, reflecting lower customer trading volumes, partially offset by increases in asset-based fee revenue reflecting higher assets under fee-based management.

        Total assets under fee-based management were $239 billion as of March 31, 2005, up $19 billion or 9% from the prior-year period. Total client assets, including assets under fee-based management, of $969 billion in the 2005 first quarter increased $44 billion or 5% compared to the prior-year quarter, principally due to market appreciation and positive net inflows. Net inflows were $13 billion in the 2005 first quarter compared to $6 billion in the prior-year quarter. Smith Barney had 12,189 financial consultants as of March 31, 2005, compared with 12,037 as of March 31, 2004. Annualized revenue per financial consultant of $555,000 decreased 4% from the prior-year first quarter.

        Operating expenses of $1.351 billion in the 2005 first quarter increased $31 million or 2% from the prior-year quarter. The increases were mainly due to higher legal costs and repositioning costs of $28 million pretax.

        Client business volumes were $221 billion at the end of the 2005 first quarter, up $19 billion or 9% from $202 billion at the end of the 2004 first quarter. Growth in client business volumes was led by an increase in proprietary managed assets of $7 billion or 19%, mainly driven by the impact of positive net flows in the U.S. Custody assets grew $6 billion or 8%, with growth in all regions except Japan. Investment finance volumes, which include loans, letters of credit and commitments, increased $4 billion or 11%, primarily reflecting growth in real-estate and tailored lending in the U.S. Banking and Fiduciary Deposits grew $1 billion or 2% including a $2 billion or 42% decline in Japan. Excluding Japan, banking and fiduciary deposits grew $3 billion or 9%, mainly in EMEA and the U.S.

Excluding Japan, revenues were down $8 million or 2%, as declines in Asia and EMEA were partially offset by growth in North America. Revenues declined $12 million or 9% in Asia and $9 million or 11% in EMEA, primarily reflecting lower client transactional activity that was partially offset by growth in banking-related revenue. In North America, revenues increased $13 million or 6%, mainly driven by strong growth in banking and lending volumes in the U.S., partially offset by net interest margin compression, resulting from increased interest rates, as well as a decline in transactional revenue in Mexico.

        Operating expenses of $339 million in the 2005 first quarter were unchanged from the prior year, due to lower incentive and variable compensation, in line with lower transactional revenue, which was partially offset by repositioning costs of $7 million associated with limited staff reductions.

        Net recoveries in the provision for credit losses were $16 million in the 2005 first quarter, compared to a provision for credit losses of $4 million in the 2004 first quarter. The improvement in the provision in the 2005 first quarter reflects a reduction in the allowance for loan losses combined with net recoveries in Asia and EMEA. Loans 90 days or more past due as of March 31, 2005, were $125 million or 0.32% of total loans outstanding.

        Asset Management reported net income of $79 million in the 2005 first quarter, down $26 million or 25% compared to the 2004 first quarter, primarily reflecting a change in the profit sharing arrangement for CAI Institutional earnings, higher capital funding costs, the termination of a contract to manage the assets related to St. Paul and repositioning expenses, partially offset by the impact of positive market action (including the impact of FX), the cumulative impact of positive net flows, and higher performance fees. Beginning in 2005, the pretax profits of CAI, which were previously recorded in the respective Citigroup distributor's income statement as a component of revenues (including $10 million pretax in Asset Management in the first quarter of 2004), are now reflected in Alternative Investments (see page 33).

        Assets under management for the 2005 first quarter were $460 billion, a decrease of $14 billion or 3% from the 2004 first quarter, primarily reflecting the termination of the contract to manage $37 billion of assets for St. Paul and the net outflows of U.S. Retail Money Market funds of $4 billion. The decline in assets was partially offset by positive net flows (excluding U.S. Retail Money Market funds) of $19 billion and the addition of $3 billion in assets from the acquisition of KorAm. Retail and Private Bank client assets were $230 billion at March 31, 2005, down 3% compared to the prior-year period. Institutional client assets of $218 billion at March 31, 2005, were down 4% compared to the prior-year period. Retirement Services assets were $11 billion at March 31, 2005, up 13% from the year-ago quarter.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, decreased $48 million or 10% from the prior-year period to $413 million in the 2005 first quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of a decrease of certain assets consolidated under FIN 46-R. The assets consolidated under FIN 46-R (which are denominated in euro) generated $10 million of gains (offset in minority interest) due to foreign currency translation in the prior-year first quarter. The decrease in revenue also reflects the absence of profit sharing revenues from CAI Institutional and the termination of the contract to manage assets for St. Paul, as well as higher capital funding costs and lower business volumes in Mexico, partially offset by the impact of positive market action (including FX), the impact of cumulative positive net flows and higher performance fees.

        Operating expenses of $297 million in the 2005 first quarter increased $4 million or 1% from the 2004 first quarter, primarily driven by repositioning costs.

        Minority interest, after-tax, of $1 million in the 2005 first quarter, which represents the impact of consolidating certain assets under FIN 46-R, declined $5 million or 83% from the year-ago quarter.

        North America (excluding Mexico) income of $50 million in the 2005 first quarter decreased $15 million or 23% from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting a change in the profit-sharing arrangement for CAI Institutional earnings, the transfer of assets related to St. Paul and repositioning expenses, partially offset by the cumulative impact of positive net flows and the impact of positive market action. Mexico net income of $17 million in the 2005 first quarter decreased $9 million or 35% from the 2004 first quarter, primarily reflecting higher capital funding costs and lower business volumes.

The net loss in EMEA of $2 million in the 2005 first quarter reflects a decrease in income of $1 million from the prior-year period, while Asia net income of $4 million in the 2005 first quarter increased $2 million or 100% from the prior-year period, driven by higher performance fees.

(4)
Includes fee income. Prior to 2005, revenue was reported net of profit sharing (profit sharing was reflected in the internal Citigroup distributor's revenues).

Proprietary Investment Activities revenues

        The proprietary investment portfolio of Alternative Investments consists of private equity, single- and multi-manager hedge funds, real estate, and St. Paul shares. Private equity, which constitutes the majority of proprietary investments, on both a direct and indirect basis, is in the form of equity and mezzanine debt financing in companies across a broad range of industries worldwide, including investments in companies located in developing economies. Such investments include Citigroup Venture Capital International Brazil, LP (CVC/Brazil, formerly CVC/Opportunity Equity Partners, LP), which invests in companies privatized by the government of Brazil in the mid-1990s.

        Private equity investments held in investment company subsidiaries and CVC/Brazil are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses recorded in income. Direct investments in companies located in developing economies are principally carried at cost with impairments recognized in income for "other than temporary" declines in value. Other investment activities are primarily carried at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses recorded in income.

        The ownership of St. Paul shares was a result of the April 1, 2004 merger of Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (TPC) with The St. Paul Companies, whereby existing shares of TPC common stock were converted to 0.4334 shares of St. Paul common stock. As of March 31, 2005, the Company owned 38.2 million shares or approximately 6.0% of St. Paul shares outstanding. The shares are classified as available-for-sale.

        Total proprietary revenues, net of interest expense, of $804 million in the 2005 first quarter increased $673 million over the first quarter of 2004. The growth in proprietary revenues was driven by higher net unrealized gains on private equity investments of $549 million, lower net unrealized losses on publicly-traded investments of $75 million, higher fees, dividends and interest of $43 million, and higher net realized gains of $22 million, partially offset by lower other proprietary revenues of $16 million. The higher net unrealized gains on private equity investments were primarily attributable to investment activity in Europe. European results reflect improved performance in many of the underlying investments and an improving private equity market. The net unrealized losses on

33


publicly-traded investments were primarily due to lower net mark-to-market losses on an investment in an Indian software company. The increase in fees, dividends and interest revenues was primarily due to a dividend received from an underlying investment and higher dividend and interest income from European investments. The higher net realized gains were driven by sales of certain portfolio investments. The decline in other revenues was the result of lower management fees and higher funding costs.

        Proprietary capital under management of $8.8 billion as of March 31, 2005 increased $1.5 billion from March 31, 2004 due to valuation and other increases in private equity and hedge fund investments.

Client revenues

        CAI has a growing client portfolio comprised of single- and multi-manager hedge funds, real estate, managed futures, private equity, and a variety of leveraged fixed income products (credit structures). Clients include both institutions and high-net-worth individuals. Products are distributed directly to investors and through Citigroup's Asset Management, Private Bank and Smith Barney businesses. Prior to 2005, the pretax profits of CAI were recorded in the respective Citigroup distributor's income statement as a component of revenues.

        Total client revenues, net of interest expense, of $62 million in the 2005 first quarter increased $13 million or 27% over the first quarter of 2004. The higher client revenues were primarily driven by higher performance fees earned and the absence of the profit-sharing arrangements that were in place in 2004.

        CAI managed $20.2 billion in unlevered client capital as of March 31, 2005, a decrease of $1.6 billion from March 31, 2004.

        Operating expenses of $105 million in the first quarter 2005 increased $18 million from the first quarter of 2004 primarily due to higher employee-related expenses and an increase in the operating expenses from hedge funds and real estate.

        Minority interest, net of tax, of $132 million in the first quarter 2005, increased $96 million from the first quarter of 2004, primarily due to the increase in net unrealized gains related to consolidated legal entities.

        Corporate/Other reported a net loss from continuing operations of $88 million in the 2005 first quarter, a decrease in income of $276 million from the 2004 first quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of the gain on the sale of EFS, which resulted in an after-tax gain of $180 million in the 2004 first quarter, as well as the absence of certain unallocated tax benefits held at the Corporate level in the prior year.

        Revenues, net of interest expense, of ($4) million in the 2005 first quarter, decreased $299 million from the 2004 first quarter, primarily driven by the absence of the EFS gain in the prior year.

        Operating expenses of $89 million in the 2005 first quarter decreased $9 million from the 2004 first quarter primarily due to lower unallocated corporate costs.

        Discontinued operations represents the operations described in the Company's January 31, 2005, announced agreement for the sale of Citigroup's Travelers Life & Annuity, substantially all of Citigroup's international insurance business and Citigroup's Argentine pension business.

MANAGING GLOBAL RISK

        The Citigroup risk management framework recognizes the diversity of Citigroup's global business activities by balancing strong corporate oversight with well-defined independent risk management functions within each business. The Citigroup risk management framework is described in Citigroup's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        The risk management framework is grounded on the following six principles, which apply universally across all businesses and all risk types:

Risk management is integrated within the business plan and strategy.

All risks and resulting returns are owned and managed by an accountable business unit.

All risks are managed within a limit framework; risk limits are endorsed by business management and approved by independent risk management.

All risk management policies are clearly and formally documented.

All risks are measured using defined methodologies, including stress testing.

All risks are comprehensively reported across the organization.

        The Citigroup Senior Risk Officer is responsible for establishing standards for the measurement, approval, reporting and limiting of risk, for managing, evaluating, and compensating the senior independent risk managers at the business level, for approving business-level risk management policies, for approving business risk-taking authority through the allocation of limits and capital, and for reviewing, on an ongoing basis, major risk exposures and concentrations across the organization. Risks are reviewed regularly with the independent business-level risk managers, the Citigroup senior business managers, and as appropriate, the Citigroup Board of Directors.

        The independent risk managers at the business level are responsible for establishing and implementing risk management policies and practices within their business, while ensuring consistency with Citigroup standards. As noted above, the independent risk managers report directly to the Citigroup Senior Risk Officer, however they remain accountable, on a day-to-day basis, for appropriately meeting and responding to the needs and issues of their business unit, and for overseeing the risks present.

        The following sections summarize the processes for managing credit, market, operational and country risks within Citigroup's major businesses.


RISK CAPITAL

        Risk capital is defined at Citigroup as the amount of capital required to absorb potential unexpected economic losses resulting from extremely severe events over a one-year time period.

"Economic losses" include losses that appear on the income statement and fair value adjustments to the financial statements, as well as any further declines in the value of assets or increases in the value of liabilities not captured on the income statement.

"Unexpected losses" are the difference between potential extremely severe losses and Citigroup's expected (average) loss over a one-year time period.

"Extremely severe" is defined as potential loss at a 99.97% confidence level, as extrapolated from the distribution of observed events and scenario analysis.

        Risk capital facilitates both the quantification of risk levels and the tradeoff of risk and return. The risk capital calculated for each business approximates the amount of tangible equity that would typically be ascribed. Risk capital is used in the calculation of return on risk capital (RORC) and return on invested capital (ROIC) measures that are used in assessing business performance and allocating Citigroup's balance sheet and risk taking capacity.

        RORC, calculated as net income divided by average risk capital, compares business income with the capital required to absorb the risks. This is similar to a return on tangible equity calculation. It is used to assess businesses' operating performance and to determine incremental allocation of capital for organic growth.

        ROIC is calculated using income adjusted to exclude a net internal funding cost Citigroup levies on the intangible assets of each business. This adjusted income is divided by the sum of each business's average risk capital and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights, which are captured in risk capital). ROIC thus compares business income with the total invested capital—risk capital and intangible assets created through acquisitions—used to generate that income. ROIC is used to assess returns on potential acquisitions and divestitures, and to compare long-term performance of businesses with differing proportions of organic and acquired growth.

36


        Methodologies to measure risk capital are jointly developed by risk management, the financial division and Citigroup businesses, and approved by the Citigroup Senior Risk Officer and Citigroup Chief Financial Officer. It is expected, due to the evolving nature of risk capital, that these methodologies will continue to be refined.

        The drivers of "economic losses" are risks, which can be broadly categorized as credit risk (including cross-border risk), market risk, operational risk, and insurance risk:

Credit risk losses primarily result from a borrower's or counterparty's inability to meet its obligations.

Market risk losses arise from fluctuations in the market value of trading and non-trading positions, including changes in value resulting from fluctuation in rates.

Operational risk losses result from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems or from external events.

Insurance risks arise from unexpectedly high payouts on insurance liabilities.

        These risks are measured and aggregated within businesses and across Citigroup to facilitate the understanding of the Company's exposure to extreme downside events and any changes in its level or its composition.

        At March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, risk capital for Citigroup was comprised of the following risk types:

Reduction in Risk represents diversification between risk sectors.

        The increase in total risk capital from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005 was primarily related to increases in risk capital due to refinements in risk measurement methodologies, partially offset by decreases in overall risk (approximately $3.2 billion) due to the exclusion at March 31, 2005 of the risk capital associated with the Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business.

        Average risk capital, return on risk capital and return on invested capital are provided for each segment and product and are disclosed on pages 16 to 34 of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

        The increase in average risk capital versus March 31, 2004 was primarily driven by increases in Corporate and Investment Banking, Global Consumer and Alternative Investments. Average risk capital of $26.1 billion in Global Consumer increased $3.9 billion, or 18%, as a result of a $2.1 billion, or 16%, increase in Retail Banking, a $1.7 billion, or 31%, increase in Cards, and a $166 million, or 4%, increase in Consumer Finance. The $2.1 billion increase in Retail Banking was primarily due to the KorAm and PRMI acquisitions and higher credit risk, while the $1.7 billion increase in Cards was driven by refinements in risk capital methodologies. Corporate and Investment Banking average risk capital increased $4.5 billion, or 28%, driven by an increase in Capital Markets and Banking of $4.3 billion, or 29%, which was largely due to the impact in 2004 on operational risk capital of the WorldCom and Litigation Reserve Charge and the acquisition of KorAm. Global Wealth Management average risk capital was relatively unchanged, as a $429 million increase in Private Bank average risk capital (due to increases in operational risk capital and changes in diversification with Smith Barney) were offset by a $413 million decrease in Smith Barney average risk capital (due to lower operational risk and the impact of changes in diversification benefits with Private Bank). Asset Management average risk capital of $616 million decreased $15 million, or 2%, while Alternative Investments average risk capital of $4.1 billion increased $442 million, or 12%, resulting from higher market risk related to positive revaluations of certain of the Company's investment positions.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

        Credit risk is the potential for financial loss resulting from the failure of a borrower or counterparty to honor its financial or contractual obligations. Credit risk costs arise in many of the Company's business activities including lending activities, derivatives activities, securities transactions, settlement activities, and when the Company acts as an intermediary on behalf of its clients and other third parties. The credit risk management process at Citigroup relies on corporate-wide standards to ensure consistency and integrity, with business-specific policies and practices to ensure applicability and ownership. Credit losses on derivatives and trading activities are recorded in Principal transactions on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Credit losses in the Company's loan portfolio are recorded as a reduction to the Allowance for credit losses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table presents the details of credit losses from the Company's loan portfolio.

CONSUMER PORTFOLIO REVIEW

        In the consumer portfolio, credit loss experience is often expressed in terms of annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average loans. Pricing and credit policies reflect the loss experience of each particular product and country. Consumer loans are generally written off no later than a predetermined number of days past due on a contractual basis, or earlier in the event of bankruptcy. The specific write-off criteria is set according to loan product and country.

        Commercial Business, which is included within Retail Banking, includes loans and leases made principally to small- and middle-market businesses. Commercial Business loans are placed on a non-accrual basis when it is determined that the payment of interest or principal is doubtful of collection or when interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Commercial Business non-accrual loans are not strictly determined on a delinquency basis; therefore, they have been presented as a separate component in the consumer credit disclosures.

        The following table summarizes delinquency and net credit loss experience in both the managed and on-balance sheet loan portfolios in terms of loans 90 days or more past due, net credit losses, and as a percentage of related loans. The table also summarizes the accrual status of Commercial Business loans as a percentage of related loans. The managed loan portfolio includes credit card receivables held for sale and securitized, and the table reconciles to a held basis, the comparable GAAP measure. Only North America Cards from a product view and North America from a regional view are impacted. 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. For example, the Cards business considers both on-balance sheet and securitized balances (together, their managed portfolio) when determining capital allocation and general management decisions and compensation. 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. For a further discussion of managed basis reporting, see the Cards business on page 17 and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total loans and total average loans exclude certain interest and fees on credit cards of approximately $4 billion and $4 billion, respectively, for the first quarter of 2005, the fourth quarter of 2004, and first quarter of 2004, respectively, which are included in Consumer Loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        Total delinquencies 90 days or more past due (excluding the Commercial Business) in the managed portfolio were $8.745 billion or 1.84% of loans at March 31, 2005, compared to $9.179 billion or 1.92% at December 31, 2004 and $9.132 billion or 2.19% at March 31, 2004. Total cash-basis loans in the Commercial Business were $593 million or 1.56% of loans at March 31, 2005, compared to $735 million or 1.78% at December 31, 2004 and $1.213 billion or 3.11% at March 31, 2004. Total managed net credit losses (excluding the Commercial Business) in the 2005 first quarter were $3.065 billion and the related loss ratio was 2.62%, compared to $3.206 billion and 2.73% in the 2004 fourth quarter and $3.582 billion and 3.47% in the 2004 first quarter. In the Commercial Business, total net credit losses were $26 million and the related loss ratio was 0.28% in the 2005 first quarter, compared to $90 million and 0.89% in the 2004 fourth quarter and $50 million and 0.51% in the 2004 first quarter. For a discussion of trends by business, see business discussions on pages 16 to 23 and page 30.

        Citigroup's total allowance for loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments of $11.494 billion is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citigroup's allowance for credit losses attributed to the consumer portfolio was $8.060 billion at March 31, 2005, $8.379 billion at December 31, 2004 and $9.218 billion at March 31, 2004. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses from March 31, 2004 of $1.158 billion was primarily due to the impact of reserve releases which occurred subsequent to March 31, 2004 of $1.181 billion related to continued improved credit conditions in North America, Latin America, Asia and Japan, and reductions related to securitizations in the Cards business and the sale of CitiCapital's Transportation Finance Business and purchase accounting adjustments related to the Sears acquisition. Offsetting this decrease in the allowance for credit losses was the addition of $274 million from the KorAm acquisition, the impact of reserve builds of $78 million, primarily related to Germany, the impact of foreign currency translation, and the 2004 second quarter reclassification of certain valuation reserves related to capital leases into the allowance for credit losses.

        On-balance sheet consumer loans of $426.1 billion increased $46.3 billion or 12% from March 31, 2004, primarily driven by growth in mortgage and other real-estate-secured loans in Prime Home Finance, Consumer Finance and Private Bank, the addition of the KorAm portfolio and the impact of strengthening currencies. Growth in student loans in North America also contributed to the increase in consumer loans. Credit card receivables declined, primarily due to the impact of securitization activities and higher payment rates by customers. In the North America, excluding Mexico, Commercial Business, loans declined reflecting the continued liquidation and sale of non-core portfolios, including a decline of approximately $4.3 billion resulting from the 2005 first quarter sale of CitiCapital's Transportation Finance Business and the $2.0 billion reclassification of operating leases from loans to other assets in the 2004 second quarter, partially offset by an increase of $2.7 billion from the FAB acquisition. Loans in Japan also declined mainly reflecting continued contraction in the Consumer Finance portfolio.

        Net credit losses, delinquencies and the related ratios are affected by the credit performance of the portfolios, including bankruptcies, unemployment, global economic conditions, portfolio growth and seasonal factors, as well as macro-economic and regulatory policies.

CORPORATE CREDIT RISK

        For corporate clients and investment banking activities across the organization, the credit process is grounded in a series of fundamental policies, including:

Ultimate business accountability for managing credit risks;

Joint business and independent risk management responsibility for establishing limits and risk management practices;

Single center of control for each credit relationship that coordinates credit activities with that client, directly approves or co-approves all extensions of credit to that client, reviews aggregate exposures, and ensures compliance with exposure limits;

Portfolio limits, including obligor limits by risk rating and by maturity, to ensure diversification and maintain risk/capital alignment;

A minimum two-authorized credit officer-signature requirement on extensions of credit—one from a sponsoring credit officer in the business and one from a credit officer in independent credit risk management;

Uniform risk measurement standards, including risk ratings, which must be assigned to every obligor and facility in accordance with Citigroup standards; and

Consistent standards for credit origination, measurement and documentation, as well as problem recognition, classification and remedial action.

        These policies apply universally across corporate clients and investment banking activities. Businesses that require tailored credit processes, due to unique or unusual risk characteristics in their activities, may only do so under a Credit Program that has been approved by independent credit risk management. In all cases, the above policies must be adhered to, or specific exceptions must be granted by independent credit risk management.

CORPORATE PORTFOLIO REVIEW

        Corporate loans are identified as impaired and placed on a nonaccrual basis when it is determined that the payment of interest or principal is doubtful of collection or when interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Impaired corporate loans are written down to the extent that principal is judged to be uncollectible. Impaired collateral-dependent loans are written down to the lower of cost or collateral value, less disposal costs.

        The following table summarizes corporate cash-basis loans and net credit losses:

        Corporate cash-basis loans were $1.732 billion, $1.906 billion and $2.913 billion at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. Cash-basis loans decreased $1.181 billion from March 31, 2004 due to a $1.156 billion decrease in Capital Markets and Banking and a $25 million decrease in Transaction Services. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to charge-offs against reserves as well as paydowns on corporate borrowers in Argentina, North America and Mexico, partially offset by the addition of KorAm.

        Cash-basis loans decreased $174 million from December 31, 2004 due to decreases in Capital Markets and Banking and Transaction Services. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to asset sales and paydowns from borrowers in Argentina and Brazil.

43


        Total corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) was $127 million, $126 million and $94 million at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively.

        Total corporate loans outstanding at March 31, 2005 were $118 billion as compared to $114 billion and $100 billion at December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively.

        Total corporate net credit losses of ($23) million at March 31, 2005 decreased $201 million compared to March 31, 2004, primarily reflecting recoveries as well as lower net credit losses from counterparties in Europe, particularly in Poland, and Mexico.

        The allowance for credit losses is established by management based upon estimates of probable losses in the portfolio. This evaluative process includes the utilization of statistical models to analyze such factors as default rates, both historic and projected, geographic and industry concentrations and environmental factors. Larger non-homogeneous credits are evaluated on an individual loan basis examining such factors as the borrower's financial strength and payment history, the financial stability of any guarantors and, for secured loans, the realizable value of any collateral. Additional reserves are established to provide for imprecision caused by the use of historical and projected loss data. Judgmental assessments are used to determine residual losses on the leasing portfolio.

        Citigroup's allowance for credit losses for loans, leases and lending commitments of $11.494 billion is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citigroup's allowance for credit losses attributed to the Corporate portfolio was $3.434 billion at March 31, 2005, compared to $3.490 billion at December 31, 2004 and $3.888 billion at March 31, 2004. The allowance attributed to corporate loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments as a percentage of corporate loans was 2.92% at March 31, 2005, as compared to 3.07% and 3.87% at December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. The $454 million decrease in the total allowance at March 31, 2005 from March 31, 2004 primarily reflects reserve releases of $750 million due to continued improvement in the portfolio, partially offset by the addition of KorAm. 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.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

        Market risk at Citigroup—like credit risk—is managed through corporate-wide standards and business policies and procedures. Market risks are measured in accordance with established standards to ensure consistency across businesses and the ability to aggregate like risks at the Citigroup-level. Each business is required to establish, and have approved by independent market risk management, a market risk limit framework, including risk measures, limits and controls, that clearly defines approved risk profiles and is within the parameters of Citigroup's overall risk appetite.

        Businesses, working in conjunction with independent Market Risk Management, must ensure that market risks are independently measured, monitored, and reported to ensure transparency in risk-taking activities and integrity in risk reports. In all cases, the businesses are ultimately responsible for the market risks that they take and for remaining within their defined limits.

        Market risk encompasses liquidity risk and price risk, both of which arise in the normal course of business of a global financial intermediary. Liquidity risk is the risk that some entity, in some location and in some currency, may be unable to meet a financial commitment to a customer, creditor, or investor when due. Liquidity risk is discussed in the "Capital Resources and Liquidity" section beginning on page 51. Price risk is the risk to earnings that arises from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices, and in their implied volatilities. Price risk arises in non-trading portfolios, as well as in trading portfolios.

Non-Trading Portfolios

        Interest rate risk in non-trading portfolios is inherent in many client-related activities, primarily lending and deposit taking, to both corporations and individuals. Interest rate risk arises from these client activities as a function of a number of factors. These include the timing of rate resetting and maturity between assets and liabilities, the change in the profile for those assets and liabilities whose maturity changes in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in the spread between various market rate indices among other factors.

        The exposure generated by client-related activities is actively managed by business treasury units throughout Citigroup. The treasury units manage exposure to the key factors within limits approved by independent risk management, primarily by altering the repricing characteristics of the portfolio either directly through on-balance sheet instruments or through the use of off-balance sheet instruments including derivatives and by modifying product pricing strategies.

        To ensure consistency across businesses, Citigroup's non-trading portfolios are managed under a single set of standards for defining, measuring, limiting and reporting market risk. While business risk management is directly responsible for employing appropriate risk management techniques that are appropriate for each specific portfolio, there are a number of Citigroup-wide reporting metrics, both earnings-based and valuation-based, that are common to all business units.

44


        The principal earnings measure is Interest Rate Exposure (IRE). IRE is calculated for all non-trading portfolios for all currencies where Citigroup has significant interest rate exposure. IRE is calculated as the pretax earnings impact of an instantaneous, parallel increase or decrease in the yield curve. In order to stress test the portfolios, IRE is calculated for +/-50 basis points (bps), +/-100 bps and +/-200 bps rate shocks for each currency. IRE is supplemented with additional measurements, including stress testing the impact on earnings and equity for non-linear interest rate movements, and analysis of portfolio duration, basis risk, spread risk, volatility risk, and cost-to-close.

        IRE is interpreted as the potential change in income that would result from the instantaneous change in rates on a static portfolio at a point in time. This is a measure of exposure, not a simulation of income or forecasted income. It assumes no additional changes in rates or positions, although in practice, business treasurers may react to a change or expected change in rates by altering their portfolio mix, repricing characteristics, hedge positions and customer pricing which could significantly impact reported earnings. IRE is used as an indicative measure of exposure to a severe rate change, and not as a predictor of changes in reported earnings.

Citigroup Interest Rate Exposure (Impact on Pretax Earnings)(1)

        The table below illustrates the impact to Citigroup's pretax earnings over a one-year and five-year time horizon from a 100 basis point (bps) increase and a 100 basis point decrease in the yield curves applicable to various currencies, the primary scenarios evaluated by senior management. The five-year horizon amounts are discounted back to current amounts.

Insurance Companies

        The table below reflects the estimated decrease in the fair value of financial instruments held in the insurance companies as a result of a 100 bps increase in interest rates. Certain of these subsidiaries and operations are included in the Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business and the assets and liabilities of the businesses sold are included in Assets of discontinued operations held for sale and Liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        A significant portion of the insurance companies' liabilities (insurance policy and claims reserves) are not financial instruments and are excluded from the above sensitivity analysis. The corresponding changes in the fair values of the insurance policy and claim reserves are decreases of $749 million, $756 million and $687 million at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. Furthermore, the analysis does not change the economics of asset-liability matching risk mitigation strategies employed by the insurance businesses. The durations of invested assets are closely matched with the related insurance liabilities, diminishing the exposure to interest rate generated volatility. Including insurance policy and claim liabilities, along with the aforementioned duration matching techniques, significantly decreases the impact implied in the above table.

Trading Portfolios

        Price risk in trading portfolios is measured through a complementary set of tools, including factor sensitivities, value-at-risk, and stress testing. Each trading portfolio has its own market risk limit framework, encompassing these measures and other controls, including permitted product lists and a new product approval process for complex products, established by the business and approved by independent market risk management.

        Factor sensitivities are defined as the change in the value of a position for a defined change in a market risk factor (e.g., the change in the value of a Treasury bill for a 1 basis point change in interest rates). It is the responsibility of independent market risk management to ensure that factor sensitivities are calculated, monitored and, in most cases, limited, for all relevant risks taken in a trading portfolio.

        Value-at-Risk estimates the potential decline in the value of a position or a portfolio, under normal market conditions, over a one-day holding period, at a 99% confidence level. The Value-at-Risk method incorporates the factor sensitivities of the trading portfolio with the volatilities and correlations of those factors. Citigroup's Value-at-Risk is based on the volatilities of, and correlations between, approximately 250,000 market risk factors, including factors that track the specific issuer risk in debt and equity securities.

        Stress testing is performed on trading portfolios on a regular basis, to estimate the impact of extreme market movements. Stress testing is performed on individual trading portfolios, as well as on aggregations of portfolios and businesses, as appropriate. It is the responsibility of independent market risk management, in conjunction with the businesses, to develop stress scenarios, review the output of periodic stress testing exercises, and utilize the information to make judgments as to the ongoing appropriateness of exposure levels and limits.

        Risk capital for market risk in trading portfolios is based on an annualized value-at-risk figure, with adjustments for intra-day trading activity.

        Citigroup periodically performs extensive back-testing of many hypothetical test portfolios as one check on the accuracy of its Value-at-Risk (VAR). Back-testing is the process in which the daily Value-at-Risk of a test portfolio is compared to the ex-post daily change in the market value of its transactions. Back-testing is conducted to ascertain if in fact we are measuring potential market loss at the 99% confidence level. A daily market value loss in excess of a 99% confidence level Value-at-Risk should occur, on average, only 1% of the time. The VAR calculation for the hypothetical test portfolios, with different degrees of risk concentration, meets this statistical criteria.

        New and/or complex products in the Corporate and Investment Banking business are required to be reviewed and approved by the Capital Markets Approval Committee (CMAC). The CMAC is responsible for ensuring that relevant risks are identified and understood, and can be measured, managed and reported in accordance with applicable business policies and practices. The CMAC is made up of senior representatives from market and credit risk management, legal, accounting, operations, and other support areas.

        The level of price risk exposure at any given point in time depends on the market environment and expectations of future price and market movements, and will vary from period to period.

        For Citigroup's major trading centers, the aggregate pretax Value-at-Risk in the trading portfolios was $116 million at both March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Daily exposures averaged $124 million during the 2005 first quarter and ranged from $103 million to $157 million.

        The following table summarizes Value-at-Risk in the trading portfolios as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, along with the averages:

OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

        Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events. It includes reputation and franchise risks associated with business practices or market conduct that the Company may undertake with respect to activities in a fiduciary role, as principal, as well as agent, or through a special-purpose vehicle.

        The Citigroup Operational Risk Policy codifies the core governing principles for operational risk management and provides the framework to identify, control, monitor, measure, and report operational risks in a consistent manner across the Company.

Risk and Control Self-Assessment

        A formal governance structure has been established through the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) Policy to provide direction, oversight, and monitoring of Citigroup's RCSA programs. The RCSA Policy incorporates standards for risk and control self-assessment that are applicable to all businesses and establishes RCSA as the process whereby risks that are inherent in a business' strategy, objectives, and activities are identified and the effectiveness of the controls over those risks are evaluated and monitored. RCSA is based on COSO (The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) principles, which have been adopted as the minimum standards for all internal control reviews that comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, FDICIA or operational risk requirements. The policy requires, on a quarterly basis, businesses and staff functions to perform a RCSA that includes documentation of the control environment and policies, assessing the risks and controls, testing commensurate with risk level, corrective action tracking for control breakdowns or deficiencies and periodic reporting, including reporting to Senior Management and the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The entire process is subject to audit by Citigroup's Audit and Risk Review with reporting to the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board.

Information Security and Continuity of Business

        In the fall of 2004, Citigroup created the function of Chief Information Technology Risk Officer to enhance risk management practices between information security and continuity of business. This is an important step in Citigroup's strategy to better manage and aggregate risk on an enterprise-wide basis.

        The Information Security Program complies with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and other regulatory guidance. During 2004, the Citigroup Information Security Office conducted an end-to-end review of Company-wide risk management processes for mitigating, monitoring, and responding to information security risk.

        Citigroup continued to mitigate business continuity risks by reviewing and testing recovery procedures. The Corporate Office of Business Continuity with the support of the Global Senior Continuity of Business Committee monitors compliance with all internal and external regulatory standards to enhance Citigroup's resilience in the financial markets.

48



COUNTRY AND CROSS-BORDER RISK
MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Country Risk

        The Citigroup Country Risk Committee is chaired by senior international business management, and includes as its members business managers and independent risk managers from around the world. The committee's primary objective is to strengthen the management of country risk, defined as the total risk to the Company of an event that impacts a country. The committee regularly reviews all risk exposures within a country, makes recommendations as to actions, and follows up to ensure appropriate accountability.

Cross-Border Risk

        The Company's cross-border outstandings reflect various economic and political risks, including those arising from restrictions on the transfer of funds as well as the inability to obtain payment from customers on their contractual obligations as a result of actions taken by foreign governments such as exchange controls, debt moratorium, and restrictions on the remittance of funds.

        Management oversight of cross-border risk is performed through a formal country risk review process that includes setting of cross-border limits, at least annually, in each country in which Citigroup has cross-border exposure, monitoring of economic conditions globally and within individual countries with proactive action as warranted, and the establishment of internal risk management policies. Under FFIEC guidelines, total cross-border outstandings include cross-border claims on third parties as well as investments in and funding of local franchises. Cross-border claims on third parties (trade, short-term, and medium- and long-term claims) include cross-border loans, securities, deposits with banks, investments in affiliates, and other monetary assets, as well as net revaluation gains on foreign exchange and derivative products.

        The cross-border outstandings are reported by assigning externally guaranteed outstandings to the country of the guarantor and outstandings for which tangible, liquid collateral is held outside of the obligor's country to the country in which the collateral is held. For securities received as collateral, outstandings are assigned to the domicile of the issuer of the securities.

        Investments in and funding of local franchises represent the excess of local country assets over local country liabilities. Local country assets are claims on local residents recorded by branches and majority-owned subsidiaries of Citigroup domiciled in the country, adjusted for externally guaranteed outstandings and certain collateral. Local country liabilities are obligations of branches and majority-owned subsidiaries of Citigroup domiciled in the country, for which no cross-border guarantee is issued by Citigroup offices outside the country.

        In regulatory reports under FFIEC guidelines, cross-border resale agreements are presented based on the domicile of the issuer of the securities that are held as collateral. However, for purposes of the following table, cross-border resale agreements are presented based on the domicile of the counterparty because the counterparty has the legal obligation for repayment. Similarly, under FFIEC guidelines, long trading securities positions are required to be reported on a gross basis. However, for purposes of the following table, certain long and short securities positions are presented on a net basis consistent with internal cross-border risk management policies, reflecting a reduction of risk from offsetting positions.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

        Citigroup's capital management framework is designed to ensure the capital position and ratios of Citigroup and its subsidiaries are consistent with the Company's risk profile, all applicable regulatory standards or guidelines, and external ratings considerations. The capital management process embodies centralized senior management oversight and ongoing review at the entity and country level as applicable.

        The capital plans, forecasts, and positions of Citigroup and its principal subsidiaries are reviewed by, and subject to oversight of, Citigroup's Finance and Capital Committee. Current members of this committee include Citigroup's Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Treasurer, Senior Risk Officer, and several senior business managers.

        The Finance and Capital Committee's capital management responsibilities include: determination of the overall financial structure of Citigroup and its principal subsidiaries, including debt/equity ratios and asset growth guidelines; ensuring appropriate actions are taken to maintain capital adequacy for Citigroup and its regulated entities; determination and monitoring of hedging of capital and foreign exchange translation risk associated with non-dollar earnings; and review and recommendation of share repurchase levels and dividends on common and preferred stock. The Finance and Capital Committee establishes applicable capital targets for Citigroup on a consolidated basis and for significant subsidiaries. These targets exceed applicable regulatory standards.

        Citigroup and Citicorp are subject to risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). These guidelines are used to evaluate capital adequacy based primarily on the perceived credit risk associated with balance sheet assets, as well as certain off-balance sheet exposures such as unfunded loan commitments, letters of credit, and derivative and foreign exchange contracts. The risk-based capital guidelines are supplemented by a leverage ratio requirement. To be "well capitalized" under federal bank regulatory agency definitions, a bank holding company must have a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of at least 6%, a combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital Ratio of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 3%, and not be subject to a directive, order, or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital levels.

        As noted in the table below, Citigroup maintained its "well-capitalized" position during the first three months of 2005 and the full year of 2004.

Tier 1 Capital excludes unrealized gains and losses on debt securities available-for-sale in accordance with regulatory risk-based capital guidelines. The federal bank regulatory agencies permit institutions to include in Tier 2 Capital up to 45% of pretax net unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Institutions are required to deduct from Tier 1 Capital net unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair values, net of tax.

Includable up to 1.25% of risk-adjusted assets. Any excess allowance is deducted from risk-adjusted assets.

(5)
Includes qualifying subordinated debt in an amount not exceeding 50% of Tier 1 Capital.

Includes risk-weighted credit equivalent amounts, net of applicable bilateral netting agreements, of $47.3 billion for interest rate, commodity and equity derivative contracts and foreign exchange contracts as of March 31, 2005, compared with $47.6 billion as of December 31, 2004. Market risk-equivalent assets included in risk-adjusted assets amounted to $42.7 billion and $39.4 billion at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Risk-adjusted assets also include the effect of other off-balance sheet exposures, such as unused loan commitments and letters of credit, and reflects deductions for certain intangible assets and any excess allowance for credit losses.

        Common stockholders' equity increased approximately $1.2 billion during the first three months of 2005 to $109.4 billion at March 31, 2005, representing 7.3% of assets, compared to $108.2 billion and 7.3% at year-end 2004. The increase reflected net income of $5.4 billion and $2.1 billion related to the net issuance of shares pursuant to employee benefit plans and other activity, offset by dividends declared on common and preferred stock of $2.3 billion, $1.7 billion related to the net issuance of restricted and deferred stock, $1.4 billion related to the after-tax net change in equity from non-owner sources, and treasury stock acquired of $0.9 billion.

        On April 14, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized up to an additional $15 billion of capital for share repurchases, bringing the total authorization to $16.3 billion.

        Total mandatorily redeemable securities of subsidiary trusts (trust preferred securities), which qualify as Tier 1 Capital, at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $6.342 billion and $6.209 billion, respectively. On March 1, 2005, the FRB issued the final rule that allows for the continued limited inclusion of trust preferred securities in the Tier 1 Capital of Bank Holding Companies (BHCs). Under the final rule, trust preferred securities and other restricted core capital elements will be subject to stricter quantitative limits. The final rule provides a transition period, ending March 31, 2009, for application of the quantitative limits. See "Regulatory Capital and Accounting Standards Developments" below.

        Citigroup's subsidiary depository institutions in the United States are subject to risk-based capital guidelines issued by their respective primary federal bank regulatory agencies, which are similar to the FRB's guidelines. To be "well capitalized" under federal bank regulatory agency definitions, Citigroup's depository institutions must have a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of at least 6%, a combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital Ratio of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%, and not be subject to a directive, order, or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital levels. At March 31, 2005, all of Citigroup's subsidiary depository institutions were "well capitalized" under the federal regulatory agencies' definitions.

        Similar to Citigroup, Citicorp's capital ratios include the benefit of the inclusion of trust preferred securities.

Other Subsidiary Capital Considerations

        Certain of the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. broker/dealer subsidiaries, including Citigroup Global Markets Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (CGMHI), are subject to various securities and commodities regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate. The Company's U.S. registered broker/dealer subsidiaries are subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Net Capital Rule, Rule 15c3-1 (the Net Capital Rule), promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Net Capital Rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined. The Net Capital Rule also limits the ability of broker/dealers to transfer large amounts of capital to parent companies and other affiliates. Compliance with the Net Capital Rule could limit those operations of the Company that require the intensive use of capital, such as underwriting and trading activities and the financing of customer account balances, and also could restrict CGMHI's ability to withdraw capital from its broker/dealer subsidiaries, which in turn could limit CGMHI's ability to pay dividends and make payments on its debt. CGMHI monitors its leverage and capital ratios on a daily basis. Certain of the Company's broker/dealer subsidiaries are also subject to regulation in the countries outside of the U.S. in which they do business. Such regulations may include requirements to maintain specified levels of net capital or its equivalent. The Company's U.S. and non-U.S. broker/dealer subsidiaries were in compliance with their respective capital requirements at March 31, 2005.

        Certain of the Company's Insurance Subsidiaries are subject to regulatory capital requirements. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) adopted risk-based capital (RBC) requirements for life insurance companies. The RBC requirements are to be used as minimum capital requirements by the NAIC and states to identify companies that merit further regulatory action. The formulas have not been designed to differentiate among adequately capitalized companies that operate with levels of capital higher than RBC requirements. Therefore, the Company believes it is not appropriate to use the formulas to rate or to rank such companies. At March 31, 2005, all of the Company's life insurance companies had adjusted capital in excess of amounts requiring Company or any regulatory action. Certain of these subsidiaries and operations are included in the Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business.

Regulatory Capital and Accounting Standards Developments

        The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the Basel Committee), consisting of central banks and bank supervisors from 13 countries, has developed a new set of risk-based capital standards (the New Accord), on which it has received significant input from Citigroup and other major banking organizations. The Basel Committee published the text of the New Accord on June 26, 2004, specified that parallel testing will be necessary, and designated a new implementation date of year-end 2007. The U.S. banking regulators issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking in August 2003, and subsequently issued additional guidance in October 2004, relating to the new Basel standards. Citigroup, along with other major banking organizations and associations, are continuing to provide significant input into these proposed rules. In addition, Citigroup is participating in certain quantitative studies of these proposed rules, discussing the proposed rules with banking regulators and developing overall implementation plans. The final version of these new capital rules will apply to Citigroup, as well as to other large U.S. banks and BHCs. Citigroup continues to assess the impact and participate in efforts to refine these future capital standards.

        On March 1, 2005, the FRB issued the final rule, with an effective date of April 11, 2005, which retains trust preferred securities in Tier 1 Capital of BHCs, but with stricter quantitative limits and clearer qualitative standards. Under the rule, after a five-year transition period, the aggregate amount of trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements included in Tier 1 Capital would be limited to 25% of Tier 1 Capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. Under this rule, Citigroup currently would have less than 10% against the limit. The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit could be included in Tier 2 Capital, subject to restrictions. Internationally active BHCs (such as Citigroup) would generally be expected to limit trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements to 15% of Tier 1 Capital elements, net of goodwill, less any deferred tax liability. Under this 15% limit, Citigroup would be able to retain the full amount of its trust preferred securities within Tier 1 Capital.

        Additionally, from time to time, the FRB and the FFIEC propose amendments to, and issue interpretations of, risk-based capital guidelines and reporting instructions. Such proposals or interpretations could, if implemented in the future, affect reported capital ratios and net risk-adjusted assets. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 64.

LIQUIDITY

Management of Liquidity

        Management of liquidity at Citigroup is the responsibility of the Corporate Treasurer. A uniform liquidity risk management policy exists for Citigroup and its major operating subsidiaries. Under this policy, there is a single set of standards for the measurement of liquidity risk in order to ensure consistency across businesses, stability in methodologies and transparency of risk. Management of liquidity at each operating subsidiary and/or country is performed on a daily basis and is monitored by Corporate Treasury.

        A primary tenet of Citigroup's liquidity management is strong decentralized liquidity management at each of its principal operating subsidiaries and in each of its countries, combined with an active corporate oversight function. Along with the role of the Corporate Treasurer, the Global Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) undertakes this oversight responsibility. The Global ALCO functions as an oversight forum composed of Citigroup's Chief Financial Officer, Senior Risk Officer, Corporate Treasurer, Head of Risk Architecture and the senior corporate and business treasurers and business chief financial officers. One of the objectives of the Global ALCO is to monitor and review the overall liquidity and balance sheet positions of Citigroup and its principal subsidiaries and to address corporate-wide policies and make recommendations back to senior management and the business units. Similarly, ALCOs are also established for each country and/or major line of business.

        Each principal operating subsidiary and/or country must prepare an annual funding and liquidity plan for review by the Corporate Treasurer and approval by the Head of Risk Architecture. The funding and liquidity plan includes analysis of the balance sheet, as well as the economic and business conditions impacting the liquidity of the major operating subsidiary and/or country. As part of the funding and liquidity plan, liquidity limits, liquidity ratios, market triggers, and assumptions for periodic stress tests are established and approved.

        Liquidity limits establish boundaries for potential market access in business-as-usual conditions and are monitored against the liquidity position on a daily basis. These limits are established based on the size of the balance sheet, depth of the market, experience level of local management, stability of the liabilities, and liquidity of the assets. Finally, the limits are subject to the evaluation of the entities' stress test results. Generally, limits are established such that in stress scenarios, entities need to be self-funded or net providers of liquidity.

        A series of standard corporate-wide liquidity ratios have been established to monitor the structural elements of Citigroup's liquidity. For aggregate bank entities, these include cash capital (defined as core deposits, long-term debt, and capital compared with illiquid assets), liquid assets against liquidity gaps, core deposits to loans, long-term assets to long-term liabilities and deposits to loans. Several measures exist to review potential concentrations of funding by individual name, product, industry, or geography. On a combined basis at the Holding Company level for Citigroup and Citicorp, for the Insurance Entities and for CGMHI, there are ratios established for liquid assets against short-term obligations. Triggers to elicit management discussion, which may result in other actions, have been established against these ratios. In addition, each individual major operating subsidiary or country establishes targets against these ratios and may monitor other ratios as approved in its funding and liquidity plan.

        Market triggers are internal or external market or economic factors that may imply a change to market liquidity or Citigroup's access to the markets. Citigroup market triggers are monitored by the Corporate Treasurer and the independent Head of Risk Architecture and are discussed with the Global ALCO. Appropriate market triggers are also established and monitored for each major operating subsidiary and/or country as part of the funding and liquidity plans. Local triggers are reviewed with the local country or business ALCO and independent risk management.

        Simulated liquidity stress testing is periodically performed for each major operating subsidiary and/or country. The scenarios include assumptions about significant changes in key funding sources, credit ratings, contingent uses of funding, and political and economic conditions in certain countries. The results of stress tests of individual countries and operating subsidiaries are reviewed to ensure that each individual major operating subsidiary or country is either self-funded or a net provider of liquidity. In addition, a Contingency Funding Plan is prepared on a periodic basis for Citigroup. The plan includes detailed policies, procedures, roles and responsibilities, and the results of corporate stress tests. The product of these stress tests is a menu of alternatives that can be utilized by the Corporate Treasurer in a liquidity event.

        On a combined basis at the Holding Company level, Citigroup and Citicorp maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all maturing unsecured debt obligations due within a one-year time horizon without incremental access to the unsecured markets.

        On February 11, 2005, Citigroup announced plans to merge its two intermediate bank holding companies, Citigroup Holdings Company and Citicorp, into Citigroup Inc. This transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to take place by the end of the 2005 third quarter. Citigroup will assume all existing indebtedness and outstanding guarantees of Citicorp.

        Citigroup also announced it would consolidate its capital markets funding activities in two legal entities: i) Citigroup Inc., which will continue to issue long-term debt, trust preferred securities, preferred and common stock, and ii) Citigroup Funding Inc. ("CFI") a

55


newly formed, fully guaranteed, first-tier subsidiary of Citigroup, which will issue commercial paper and medium-term notes. It is anticipated that this funding consolidation will commence during the 2005 second quarter.

        As part of the funding consolidation, it is expected that Citigroup will unconditionally guarantee Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.'s outstanding public indebtedness. Upon issuance of the guarantee, CGMHI will no longer file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will continue to be rated on the basis of a guarantee of its financial obligations from Citigroup.

        Certain of the statements above are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 64.

Funding

        As a financial holding company, substantially all of Citigroup's net earnings are generated within its operating subsidiaries. These subsidiaries make funds available to Citigroup, primarily in the form of dividends. Certain subsidiaries' dividend paying abilities may be limited by covenant restrictions in credit agreements, regulatory requirements and/or rating agency requirements that also impact their capitalization levels.

        Citicorp is a legal entity separate and distinct from Citibank, N.A. and its other subsidiaries and affiliates. There are various legal limitations on the extent to which Citicorp's banking subsidiaries may extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to Citicorp. The approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if total dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceed net profits (as defined) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. In addition, dividends for such a bank may not be paid in excess of the bank's undivided profits. State-chartered bank subsidiaries are subject to dividend limitations imposed by applicable state law.

        As of March 31, 2005, Citicorp's national and state-chartered bank subsidiaries can declare dividends to their respective parent companies, without regulatory approval, of approximately $13.7 billion. In determining whether and to what extent to pay dividends, each bank subsidiary must also consider the effect of dividend payments on applicable risk-based capital and leverage ratio requirements, as well as policy statements of the federal regulatory agencies that indicate that banking organizations should generally pay dividends out of current operating earnings. Consistent with these considerations, Citicorp estimates that, as of March 31, 2005, its bank subsidiaries can directly or through their parent holding company distribute dividends to Citicorp of approximately $12.3 billion of the available $13.7 billion.

        Citicorp also receives dividends from its nonbank subsidiaries. These nonbank subsidiaries are generally not subject to regulatory restrictions on their payment of dividends except that the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) may be required if total dividends declared by a savings association in any calendar year exceed amounts specified by that agency's regulations.

        As discussed in the "Capital Resources" section beginning on page 51, the ability of CGMHI to declare dividends could be restricted by capital considerations of its broker/dealer subsidiaries.

        The Travelers Insurance Company (TIC) is subject to various regulatory restrictions that limit the maximum amount of dividends available to its parent without prior approval of the Connecticut Insurance Department. A maximum of $908 million of statutory surplus is available by the end of the year 2005 for such dividends without the prior approval of the Connecticut Insurance Department, of which $450 million was paid during the first three months of 2005.

        During 2005, it is not anticipated that any restrictions on the subsidiaries' dividending capability will restrict Citigroup's ability to meet its obligations as and when they become due. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 64.

        Primary sources of liquidity for Citigroup and its principal subsidiaries include deposits, collateralized financing transactions, senior and subordinated debt, issuance of commercial paper, proceeds from issuance of trust preferred securities, and purchased/wholesale funds. Citigroup and its principal subsidiaries also generate funds through securitizing financial assets, including credit card receivables and single-family or multi-family residences. Finally, Citigroup's net earnings provide a significant source of funding to the corporation.

        Citigroup's funding sources are well diversified across funding types and geography, a benefit of the strength of the global franchise. Funding for the Parent and its major operating subsidiaries includes a large geographically diverse retail and corporate deposit base of $568.9 billion. A significant portion of these deposits have been, and are expected to be, long-term and stable and are considered core.

        Citigroup and its subsidiaries have a significant presence in the global capital markets. A substantial portion of the publicly underwritten debt issuance is originated in the name of Citigroup. Debt is also issued in the name of CGMHI, which issues medium-term notes and structured notes, primarily in response to specific investor inquiries. Publicly underwritten debt was also formerly issued by Citicorp, Associates First Capital Corporation (Associates) and CitiFinancial Credit Company, which includes the

56


underwritten debt previously issued by WMF. Citicorp has guaranteed various debt obligations of Associates and of CitiFinancial Credit Company, each an indirect subsidiary of Citicorp. Other significant elements of long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank system, asset-backed outstandings related to the purchase of Sears, and debt of foreign subsidiaries.

        Citigroup's borrowings are diversified by geography, investor, instrument and currency. Decisions regarding the ultimate currency and interest rate profile of liquidity generated through these borrowings can be separated from the actual issuance through the use of derivative financial products.

        Citigroup, Citicorp, and CGMHI are the primary legal entities issuing commercial paper directly to investors. On a combined basis, at the Holding Company level, Citigroup and Citicorp, both of which are bank holding companies, maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all maturing unsecured debt obligations due within a one-year time horizon without incremental access to the unsecured markets. CGMHI maintains liquidity reserves of cash and a loan value of liquid securities in excess of its outstanding short-term unsecured liabilities.

        Citicorp, CGMHI, and some of their nonbank subsidiaries have credit facilities with Citicorp's subsidiary banks, including Citibank, N.A. Borrowings under these facilities must be secured in accordance with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which a bank holding company and certain of its nonbank subsidiaries can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from banking subsidiaries or engage in certain other transactions with or involving those banking subsidiaries. In general, these restrictions require that any such transactions must be on terms that would ordinarily be offered to unaffiliated entities and secured by designated amounts of specified collateral.

        Citigroup uses its liquidity to service debt obligations, to pay dividends to its stockholders, to support organic growth, to fund acquisitions and to repurchase its shares in the market or otherwise, pursuant to Board-of-Directors approved plans.

        Each of Citigroup's major operating subsidiaries finances its operations on a basis consistent with its capitalization, regulatory structure and the environment in which it operates. Additional liquidity considerations for Citigroup's principal subsidiaries follow.

Citicorp

        Citicorp, a U.S. bank holding company with no significant operating activities of its own, is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Citigroup. While Citicorp is a separately rated entity, it did not access external markets for any long-term debt or equity issuance during the first three months of 2005. Citicorp continues to issue commercial paper and other short-term debt instruments within board-established limits and certain management guidelines.

        On a combined basis, at the Holding Company level, Citigroup and Citicorp maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all maturing unsecured debt obligations due within a one-year time horizon without incremental access to the unsecured markets. In aggregate, bank subsidiaries maintain "cash capital," defined as core deposits, long-term debt, and capital, in excess of their illiquid assets.

        Citicorp's assets and liabilities, which are principally held through its bank and nonbank subsidiaries, are diversified across many currencies, geographic areas, and businesses. Particular attention is paid to those businesses that for tax, sovereign risk, or regulatory reasons cannot be freely and readily funded in the international markets. Citicorp's assets consist primarily of consumer and corporate loans, available-for-sale and trading securities, and placements.

        A diversity of funding sources, currencies, and maturities is used to gain a broad access to the investor base. Citicorp's deposits, which represent 60% and 59% of total funding at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, are broadly diversified by both geography and customer segments.

        Asset securitization programs remain an important source of liquidity. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about securitization activities.

        Citigroup Finance Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Associates, has an unutilized credit facility of Canadian $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2005 that matures in October 2005. The facility is guaranteed by Citicorp. In connection therewith, Citicorp is required to maintain a certain level of consolidated stockholder's equity (as defined in the credit facility's agreements). At March 31, 2005, this requirement was exceeded by approximately $78.0 billion.

57


CGMHI

        CGMHI's total assets were $439 billion at March 31, 2005, an increase from $428 billion at year-end 2004. Due to the nature of CGMHI's trading activities, it is not uncommon for CGMHI's asset levels to fluctuate significantly from period to period.

        CGMHI's consolidated statement of financial condition is highly liquid, with the vast majority of its assets consisting of marketable securities and collateralized short-term financing agreements arising from securities transactions. The highly liquid nature of these assets provides CGMHI with flexibility in financing and managing its business. CGMHI monitors and evaluates the adequacy of its capital and borrowing base on a daily basis in order to allow for flexibility in its funding, to maintain liquidity, and to ensure that its capital base supports the regulatory capital requirements of its subsidiaries.

        CGMHI funds its operations through the use of collateralized and uncollateralized short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, and its equity. Collateralized short-term financing, including repurchase agreements and secured loans, is CGMHI's principal funding source. Such borrowings are reported net by counterparty, when applicable, pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 41, "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements" (FIN 41). Excluding the impact of FIN 41, short-term collateralized borrowings totaled $271.0 billion at March 31, 2005. Uncollateralized short-term borrowings provide CGMHI with a source of short-term liquidity and are also utilized as an alternative to secured financing when they represent a less expensive source. Sources of short-term uncollateralized borrowings include commercial paper, unsecured bank borrowings, promissory notes and corporate loans. Short-term uncollateralized borrowings totaled $30.4 billion at March 31, 2005.

        CGMHI has 364-day committed uncollateralized revolving line of credit facilities with unaffiliated banks totaling $3.1 billion. These facilities have a two-year term-out provision with any borrowings maturing on various dates through 2007. CGMHI also has three-year facilities totaling $1.5 billion with unaffiliated banks with any borrowings maturing on various dates in 2007 and 2008. CGMHI may borrow under these revolving credit facilities at various interest rate options (LIBOR, Fed Funds or base rate) and compensates the banks for these facilities through facility fees. At March 31, 2005, there were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities. CGMHI also has committed long-term financing facilities with unaffiliated banks. At March 31, 2005, CGMHI had drawn down the full $1.6 billion then available under these facilities. A bank can terminate these facilities by giving CGMHI prior notice (generally one year). CGMHI compensates the banks for these facilities through facility fees. Under all of these facilities, CGMHI is required to maintain a certain level of consolidated adjusted net worth (as defined in the agreements). At March 31, 2005, this requirement was exceeded by approximately $7.2 billion. CGMHI also has substantial borrowing arrangements consisting of facilities that CGMHI has been advised are available, but where no contractual lending obligation exists. These arrangements are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure flexibility in meeting CGMHI's short-term requirements.

        Unsecured term debt is a significant component of CGMHI's long-term capital. Long-term debt totaled $46.4 billion at March 31, 2005 and $45.2 billion at December 31, 2004. CGMHI utilizes interest rate swaps to convert the majority of its fixed-rate long-term debt used to fund inventory-related working capital requirements into variable rate obligations. Long-term debt issuances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar that are not used to finance assets in the same currency are effectively converted to U.S. dollar obligations through the use of cross-currency swaps and forward currency contracts.

        CGMHI's borrowing relationships are with a broad range of banks, financial institutions and other firms, including affiliates, from which it draws funds. The volume of CGMHI's borrowings generally fluctuates in response to changes in the level of CGMHI's financial instruments, commodities and contractual commitments, customer balances, the amount of securities purchased under agreements to resell, and securities borrowed transactions. As CGMHI's activities increase, borrowings generally increase to fund the additional activities. Availability of financing to CGMHI can vary depending upon market conditions, credit ratings and the overall availability of credit to the securities industry. CGMHI seeks to expand and diversify its funding mix as well as its creditor sources. Concentration levels for these sources, particularly for short-term lenders, are closely monitored both in terms of single investor limits and daily maturities.

        CGMHI monitors liquidity by tracking asset levels, collateral and funding availability to maintain flexibility to meet its financial commitments. As a policy, CGMHI attempts to maintain sufficient capital and funding sources in order to have the capacity to finance itself on a fully collateralized basis in the event that CGMHI's access to uncollateralized financing is temporarily impaired. This is documented in CGMHI's contingency funding plan. This plan is reviewed periodically to keep the funding options current and in line with market conditions. The management of this plan includes an analysis used to determine CGMHI's ability to withstand varying levels of stress, including ratings downgrades, which could impact its liquidation horizons and required margins. CGMHI maintains liquidity reserves of cash and a loan value of unencumbered securities in excess of its outstanding short-term unsecured liabilities. This is monitored on a daily basis. CGMHI also ensures that long-term illiquid assets are funded with long-term liabilities.

The Travelers Insurance Company (TIC)

        At March 31, 2005, TIC had $48.0 billion of life and annuity product deposit funds and reserves. Of that total, $27.4 billion is not subject to discretionary withdrawal based on contract terms. The remaining $20.6 billion is for life and annuity products that are subject to discretionary withdrawal by the contractholder. Included in the amount that is subject to discretionary withdrawal is $7.5 billion of liabilities that are surrenderable with market value adjustments. Also included is an additional $5.0 billion of the life insurance and individual annuity liabilities which are subject to discretionary withdrawals at an average surrender charge of 6.6%. In the payout phase, these funds are credited at significantly reduced interest rates. The remaining $8.1 billion of liabilities is surrenderable without charge. Approximately 6.0% of this relates to individual life products. These risks would have to be underwritten again if transferred to another carrier, which is considered a significant deterrent against withdrawal by long-term policyholders. Insurance liabilities that are surrendered or withdrawn are reduced by outstanding policy loans and related accrued interest prior to payout.

        TIC's primary tool for liquidity management is a cash reporting tool and forecast performed on a daily basis. In addition, TIC monitors its ability to cover contractual obligations under extreme stress conditions through the use of liquid securities in its investment portfolio.

        Certain of these subsidiaries and operations are included in the Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business.

59


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

        Citigroup and its subsidiaries are involved with several types of off-balance sheet arrangements, including special purpose entities (SPEs), lines and letters of credit, and loan commitments. The principal uses of SPEs are to obtain sources of liquidity by securitizing certain of Citigroup's financial assets, to assist our clients in securitizing their financial assets, and to create other investment products for our clients.

        SPEs may be organized as trusts, partnerships, or corporations. In a securitization, the Company transferring assets to an SPE converts those assets into cash before they would have been realized in the normal course of business. The SPE obtains the cash needed to pay the transferor for the assets received by issuing securities to investors in the form of debt and equity instruments, certificates, commercial paper, and other notes of indebtedness. Investors usually have recourse to the assets in the SPE and often benefit from other credit enhancements, such as a cash collateral account or overcollateralization in the form of excess assets in the SPE, or from a liquidity facility, such as a line of credit or asset purchase agreement. Accordingly, the SPE can typically obtain a more favorable credit rating from rating agencies, such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investors Service, or Fitch Ratings, than the transferor could obtain for its own debt issuances, resulting in less expensive financing costs. The transferor can use the cash proceeds from the sale to extend credit to additional customers or for other business purposes. The SPE may also enter into derivative contracts in order to convert the yield or currency of the underlying assets to match the needs of the SPE's investors or to limit or change the credit risk of the SPE. The Company may be the counterparty to any such derivative. The securitization process enhances the liquidity of the financial markets, may spread credit risk among several market participants, and makes new funds available to extend credit to consumers and commercial entities.

        Citigroup also acts as intermediary or agent for its corporate clients, assisting them in obtaining sources of liquidity by selling the clients' trade receivables or other financial assets to an SPE. The Company also securitizes clients' debt obligations in transactions involving SPEs that issue collateralized debt obligations. In yet other arrangements, the Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings for institutional and private bank clients as well as retail customers. In connection with such arrangements, Citigroup may purchase and temporarily hold assets designated for subsequent securitization.

        Our credit card receivable and mortgage loan securitizations are organized as Qualifying SPEs (QSPEs) and are, therefore, not VIEs subject to FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003)," (FIN 46-R). SPEs may be QSPEs or VIEs or neither. When an entity is deemed a variable interest entity (VIE) under FIN 46-R, the entity in question must be consolidated by the primary beneficiary; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of most of these entities and as such do not consolidate most of them.

Securitization of Citigroup's Assets

        In certain of these off-balance sheet arrangements, including credit card receivable and mortgage loan securitizations, Citigroup is securitizing assets that were previously recorded in its Consolidated Balance Sheet. A summary of certain cash flows received from and paid to securitization trusts is included in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Card Receivables

        Credit card receivables are securitized through trusts, which are established to purchase the receivables. Citigroup sells receivables into the trusts on a non-recourse basis. After securitization of credit card receivables, the Company continues to maintain credit card customer account relationships and provides servicing for receivables transferred to the SPE trusts. As a result, the Company considers both the securitized and unsecuritized credit card receivables to be part of the business it manages. The documents establishing the trusts generally require the Company to maintain an ownership interest in the trusts. The Company also arranges for third parties to provide credit enhancement to the trusts, including cash collateral accounts, subordinated securities, and letters of credit. As specified in certain of the sale agreements, the net revenue with respect to the investors' interest collected by the trusts each month is accumulated up to a predetermined maximum amount and is available over the remaining term of that transaction to make payments of interest to trust investors, fees, and transaction costs in the event that net cash flows from the receivables are not sufficient. If the net cash flows are insufficient, Citigroup's loss is limited to its seller's interest, retained securities, and an interest-only strip that arises from the calculation of gain or loss at the time receivables are sold to the SPE. When the predetermined amount is reached, net revenue with respect to the investors' interest is passed directly to the Citigroup subsidiary that sold the receivables. Credit card securitizations are revolving securitizations; that is, as customers pay their credit card balances, the cash proceeds are used to purchase new receivables and replenish the receivables in the trust. CGMHI is one of several underwriters that distribute securities issued by the trusts to investors. The Company relies on securitizations to fund approximately 60% of its Citi Cards business.

        At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, total assets in the credit card trusts were $97 billion and $101 billion, respectively. Of those amounts at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $85 billion and $82 billion, respectively, has been sold to investors via trust-issued securities, and of the remaining seller's interest, $9.1 billion and $15.8 billion, respectively, is recorded in Citigroup's Consolidated Balance Sheet as Consumer Loans. Additional retained securities issued by the trusts totaling $2.9 billion at March 31,

60


2005 and December 31, 2004, are included in Citigroup's Consolidated Balance Sheet as available-for-sale securities. Citigroup retains credit risk on its seller's interest, retained securities, and reserves for expected credit losses. Amounts receivable from the trusts were $1.4 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, and amounts due to the trusts were $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The Company also recognized an interest-only strip of $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, that arose from the calculation of gain or loss at the time assets were sold to the QSPE. In the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded net securitization gains of $258 million. No such gains were recorded during the first quarter of 2004.

Mortgages and Other Assets

        The Company provides a wide range of mortgage and other loan products to a diverse customer base. In addition to providing a source of liquidity and less expensive funding, securitizing these assets also reduces the Company's credit exposure to the borrowers. In connection with the securitization of these loans, the Company may retain servicing rights that entitle the Company to a future stream of cash flows based on the outstanding principal balances of the loans and the contractual servicing fee. Failure to service the loans in accordance with contractual servicing obligations may lead to a termination of the servicing contracts and the loss of future servicing fees. In non-recourse servicing, the principal credit risk to the servicer arises from temporary advances of funds. In recourse servicing, the servicer agrees to share credit risk with the owner of the mortgage loans, such as FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, or with a private investor, insurer or guarantor. The Company's mortgage loan securitizations are primarily non-recourse, thereby effectively transferring the risk of future credit losses to the purchasers of the securities issued by the trust. In addition to servicing rights, the Company also retains a residual interest in its auto loan, student loan and other asset securitizations, consisting of securities and interest-only strips that arise from the calculation of gain or loss at the time assets are sold to the SPE. The Company recognized gains related to the securitization of mortgages and other assets of $86 million and $93 million during the first three months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Securitizations of Client Assets

        The Company acts as an intermediary or agent for its corporate clients, assisting them in obtaining sources of liquidity by selling the clients' trade receivables or other financial assets to an SPE.

        The Company administers several third-party owned, special purpose, multi-seller finance companies that purchase pools of trade receivables, credit cards, and other financial assets from third-party clients of the Company. As administrator, the Company provides accounting, funding, and operations services to these conduits. The Company has no ownership interest in the conduits. Generally, the clients continue to service the transferred assets. The conduits' asset purchases are funded by issuing commercial paper and medium-term notes. Clients absorb the first losses of the conduits by providing collateral in the form of excess assets or residual interest. The Company, along with other financial institutions, provides liquidity facilities, such as commercial paper backstop lines of credit to the conduits. The Company also provides loss enhancement in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees. All fees are charged on a market basis. During 2003, to comply with FIN 46, all but two of the conduits issued "first loss" subordinated notes, such that one third-party investor in each conduit would be deemed the primary beneficiary and would consolidate that conduit. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, total assets and liabilities in the unconsolidated conduits were $63 and $54 billion, respectively. One conduit with assets of $412 million is consolidated at March 31, 2005, compared with $656 million consolidated at December 31, 2004.

Creation of Other Investment and Financing Products

        The Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings, including hedge funds, mutual funds, unit investment trusts, and other investment funds, for institutional and private bank clients as well as retail customers, that match the clients' investment needs and preferences. The SPEs may be credit-enhanced by excess assets in the investment pool or by third-party insurers assuming the risks of the underlying assets, thus reducing the credit risk assumed by the investors and diversifying investors' risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in individual assets. The Company typically manages the SPEs for market-rate fees. In addition, the Company may be one of several liquidity providers to the SPEs and may place the securities with investors.

        The Company also packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings, including arbitrage collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs for institutional clients and retail customers, that match the clients' investment needs and preferences. Typically these instruments diversify investors' risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in an individual asset. The VIEs, which are issuers of CDO securities, are generally organized as limited liability corporations. The Company typically receives fees for structuring and/or distributing the securities sold to investors. In some cases, the Company may repackage the investment with higher-rated debt CDO securities or U.S. Treasury securities to provide a greater or a very high degree of certainty of the return of invested principal. A third-party manager is typically retained by the VIE to select collateral for inclusion in the pool and then actively manage it or, in other cases, only to manage work-out credits. The Company may also provide other financial services and/or products to the VIEs for market-rate fees. These may include: the provision of liquidity or contingent liquidity facilities, interest rate or foreign exchange hedges and credit derivative instruments, as well as the purchasing and

61


warehousing of securities until they are sold to the SPE. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs under FIN 46-R due to its limited continuing involvement and, as a result, we do not consolidate their assets and liabilities in our financial statements.

        See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about off-balance sheet arrangements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        Citigroup has had a long-standing process whereby business and financial officers throughout the Company attest to the accuracy of financial information reported in corporate systems as well as the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure processes. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires CEOs and CFOs to make certain certifications with respect to this report and to the Company's disclosure control and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

        The Company has a Disclosure Committee, which has responsibility for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining, and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for the Company in connection with its external disclosures. Citigroup has a Code of Conduct that expresses the values that drive employee behavior and maintains the Company's commitment to the highest standards of conduct. The Company has established an ethics hotline for employees. In addition, the Company adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Professionals that applies to all finance, accounting, treasury, tax and investor relations professionals worldwide and that supplements the Company-wide Code of Conduct.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Certain of the statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.     Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 include the accounts of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation, have been reflected. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Citigroup's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, but is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation.

2.     Accounting Changes

Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer

        During the first quarter of 2005, Statement of Position (SOP) No. 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer" (SOP 03-3), was adopted for loan acquisitions. SOP 03-3 requires acquired loans to be recorded at fair value and prohibits carrying over valuation allowances in the initial accounting for all loans acquired in a transfer that have evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination, when it is probable that the investor will be unable to collect all contractual cash flows. Loans carried at fair value, mortgage loans held for sale, and loans to borrowers in good standing under revolving credit agreements are excluded from the scope of SOP 03-3.

        SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted to the excess of the undiscounted expected cash flows over the investor's initial investment in the loan. The excess of the contractual cash flows over expected cash flows may not be recognized as an adjustment of yield. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan's yield over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as an impairment.

Future Application of Accounting Standards

Stock-Based Compensation

        In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123-R), which replaces the existing SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123-R requires companies to measure and record compensation expense for stock options and other share-based payment based on the instruments' fair value. SFAS 123-R as issued is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. However, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the compliance date for SFAS 123-R. The SEC's new rule allows companies to implement SFAS 123-R at the start of their fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Thus, the Company will adopt SFAS 123-R on January 1, 2006 by using the modified prospective approach, which requires recognizing expense for options granted prior to the adoption date equal to the fair value of the unvested amounts over their remaining vesting period. The portion of these options' fair value attributable to vested awards prior to the adoption of SFAS 123-R is never recognized. For unvested stock-based awards granted before January 1, 2003 ("APB 25 awards"), the Company will expense the fair value of the awards as at the grant date over the remaining vesting period. The impact of recognizing compensation expense for the unvested APB 25 awards will be immaterial to Citigroup's 2006 consolidated results. The Company continues to evaluate other aspects of adopting SFAS 123-R.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments of Certain Investments

        On September 30, 2004, the FASB voted unanimously to delay the effective date of EITF 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments." The delay applies to both debt and equity securities and specifically applies to impairments caused by interest rate and sector spreads. In addition, the provisions of EITF 03-1 that have been delayed relate to the requirements that a company declare its intent to hold the security to recovery and designate a recovery period in order to avoid recognizing an other-than-temporary impairment charge through earnings.

        The FASB will be issuing implementation guidance related to this topic. Once issued, Citigroup will evaluate the impact of adopting EITF 03-1. The disclosures required by EITF 03-1 are included in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3.     Business Developments and Combinations

Acquisition of First American Bank

        On March 31, 2005, Citigroup completed its acquisition of First American Bank in Texas (FAB). The transaction will establish Citigroup's retail branch presence in Texas, giving Citigroup 106 branches, $4.2 billion in assets and approximately 120,000 new customers in the state.

Divestiture of CitiCapital's Transportation Finance Business

        On November 22, 2004, the Company reached an agreement to sell CitiCapital's Transportation Finance Business based in Dallas and Toronto to GE Commercial Finance for total cash consideration of approximately $4.6 billion. The sale, which was completed on January 31, 2005, resulted in an after-tax gain of $111 million.

Sale of Samba Financial Group

        On June 15, 2004, the Company sold, for cash, its 20% equity investment 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 CIB.

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 99.9% of KorAm's outstanding shares for a total of KRW 3.14 trillion ($2.7 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. During the 2004 fourth quarter, KorAm was merged with the Citibank Korea branch to form Citibank Korea Inc.

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 included 427 WMF offices located in 26 states, primarily in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States, and total assets of $3.8 billion. The results of WMF are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from January 2004 forward.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

        During the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 no goodwill was impaired or written off. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $606 million, approximately $87 million of core deposit intangibles, and approximately $1 million of purchased credit card relationship intangibles, in connection with the acquisition of FAB. The acquired core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over fifteen years. Intangible assets amortization expense was $451 million and $320 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

        At December 31, 2004, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet included goodwill totaling approximately $291 million and intangibles totaling approximately $91 million, relating to Life Insurance & Annuities and the Argentine pension business. Accordingly, at March 31, 2005, goodwill totaling approximately $292 million and intangibles totaling approximately $90 million, associated with these businesses, are included in Citigroup's Consolidated Balance Sheet as assets of discontinued operations held for sale.

4.     Discontinued Operations

        On January 31, 2005, the Company announced an agreement for the sale of Citigroup's Travelers Life & Annuity, and substantially all of Citigroup's international insurance businesses, to MetLife, Inc. (MetLife) for $11.5 billion, subject to closing adjustments. The businesses being sold were the primary vehicles through which Citigroup engaged in the Life Insurance and Annuities business.

        The transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies. Under the terms of the transaction, Citigroup will receive up to $3.0 billion in MetLife equity securities and the balance in cash, which will result in an after-tax gain of approximately $2.0 billion, subject to closing adjustments.

        The transaction encompasses Travelers Life & Annuity's U.S. businesses and its international operations other than Citigroup's life business in Mexico (which is now included within Retail Banking).

10.   Derivatives and Other Activities

        A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the hedge objective of offsetting either changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item for the risk being hedged. Any ineffectiveness present in the hedge relationship is recognized in current earnings. The assessment of effectiveness excludes the changes in the value of the hedged item which are unrelated to the risks being hedged. Similarly, the assessment of effectiveness may exclude changes in the fair value of a derivative related to time value which, if excluded, are recognized in current earnings.

12.   Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities

Securitization Activities

        Citigroup and its subsidiaries securitize primarily credit card receivables and mortgages. Other types of assets securitized include corporate debt securities and student loans.

        After securitizations of credit card receivables, the Company continues to maintain credit card customer account relationships and provides servicing for receivables transferred to the trusts. The Company also arranges for third parties to provide credit enhancement to the trusts, including cash collateral accounts, subordinated securities and letters of credit. As specified in certain of the sale agreements, the net revenue collected each month is accumulated up to a predetermined maximum amount, and is available over the remaining term of that transaction to make payments of yield, fees, and transaction costs in the event that net cash flows from the receivables are not sufficient. When the predetermined amount is reached net revenue is passed directly to the Citigroup subsidiary that sold the receivables.

        The Company provides a wide range of mortgage products to a diverse customer base. In connection with these loans, the servicing rights entitle the Company to a future stream of cash flows based on the outstanding principal balances of the loans and the contractual servicing fee. Failure to service the loans in accordance with contractual requirements may lead to a termination of the servicing rights and the loss of future servicing fees. In non-recourse servicing, the principal credit risk to the servicer is the cost of temporary advances of funds. In recourse servicing, the servicer agrees to share credit risk with the owner of the mortgage loans such as FNMA or FHLMC or with a private investor, insurer or guarantor. Losses on recourse servicing occur primarily when foreclosure sale proceeds of the property underlying a defaulted mortgage loan are less than the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of the loan and the cost of holding and disposing of the underlying property. The Company's mortgage loan securitizations are primarily non-recourse, thereby effectively transferring the risk of future credit losses to the purchaser of the securities issued by the trust.

        The Company also originates and sells first mortgage loans in the ordinary course of its mortgage banking activities. The Company sells certain of these loans to the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) with the servicing rights retained. GNMA has the primary recourse obligation on the individual loans; however, GNMA's recourse obligation is capped at a fixed amount per loan. Any losses above that fixed amount are borne by Citigroup as the seller/servicer.

        The Company recognized gains on securitizations of mortgages of $86 million and $93 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company recorded gains of $258 million related to the securitization of credit card receivables. No such gains were recorded during the first quarter of 2004. No gains were recognized on the securitization of other assets during the first three months of 2005 or 2004.

        Key assumptions used for credit cards, mortgages and other assets during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 in measuring the fair value of retained interests at the date of sale or securitization follow:

 
  Three Months Ended

Anticipated net credit losses   5.3% to 6.2%   0.0% to 80.0%   5.6% to 10.0%   0.0% to 80.0%

(1)
Other includes corporate debt securities and other assets.

(2)
For credit card assumptions, the constant prepayment rates of 13.7% and 15.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are associated with the private label securitized receivables, and the rate of 17.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 is associated with the bank card securitized receivables.

        As required by SFAS No. 140, the effect of two negative changes in each of the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of retained interests must be disclosed. The negative effect of each change in each assumption must be calculated independently, holding all other assumptions constant. Because the key assumptions may not in fact be independent, the net effect of simultaneous adverse changes in the key assumptions may be less than the sum of the individual effects shown below.

        At March 31, 2005, the key assumptions used to value retained interests and the sensitivity of the fair value to two adverse changes in each of the key assumptions were as follows:

Key assumptions at March 31, 2005:

  Discount Rate
  Constant
Prepayment Rate(1)

  Anticipated Net
Credit Losses

Credit cards   10.0% to 15.6%   13.7% to 17.5%   4.8% to 6.2%
Mortgages and other   2.8% to 98.6%   7.0% to 46.4%   0.0% to 80.0%
   
 
 

(1)
For credit card assumptions, the constant prepayment rate of 13.7% is associated with the private label securitized receivables, and the rate of 17.5% is associated with the bank card securitized receivables.

Managed Loans

        After securitization of credit card receivables, the Company continues to maintain credit card customer account relationships and provides servicing for receivables transferred to the trusts. As a result, the Company considers both the securitized and unsecuritized credit card receivables to be part of the business it manages. The following tables present a reconciliation between the managed basis and on-balance sheet credit card portfolios and the related delinquencies (loans which are 90 days or more past due) at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and credit losses, net of recoveries, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Servicing Rights

        The fair value of capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights was $4.2 billion, $4.1 billion and $1.9 billion at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. The following table summarizes the changes in capitalized mortgage servicing rights (MSR):

(1)
The gain (loss) on change in MSR value represents the change in the fair value of the MSRs attributable to risks that are hedged using fair value hedges in accordance with SFAS 133. The offsetting change in the fair value of the related hedging instruments is not included in this table.

(2)
The provision for impairment of MSRs represents the excess of their net carrying value, which includes the gain (loss) on change in MSR value, over their fair value. The provision for impairment increases the valuation allowance on MSRs, which is a component of the net MSR carrying value. A recovery of the MSR impairment is recorded when the fair value of the MSRs exceeds their carrying value, but it is limited to the amount of the existing valuation allowance. The valuation allowance on MSRs was $1.274 billion and $1.280 billion at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and $859 million and $765 million at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The provision for impairment of MSRs impacts the Consumer segment and is included in Other revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

(3)
The Company utilizes various financial instruments including swaps, option contracts, futures, principal-only securities and forward rate agreements to manage and reduce its exposure to changes in the value of MSRs. The provision for impairment does not include the impact of these instruments which serve to protect the overall economic value of the MSRs.

Variable Interest Entities

        The following table represents the carrying amounts and classification of consolidated assets that are collateral for VIE obligations, including VIEs that were consolidated prior to the implementation of FIN 46 under existing guidance and VIEs that the Company became involved with after July 1, 2003:

In billions of dollars

  March 31, 2005(1)
  December 31, 2004
Cash   $ 0.9   $ 0.4
Trading account assets     18.6     16.8
Investments     4.8     6.6
Loans     10.0     10.7
Other assets     1.0     1.1
   
 
Total assets of consolidated VIEs   $ 35.3   $ 35.6
   
 

(1)
Included in the consolidated VIE assets at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are approximately $379 million and $397 million, respectively, of structured transactions related to the Life Insurance & Annuities Business. These assets are reflected in Citigroup's Consolidated Balance Sheet as Assets of discontinued operations held for sale.

        The consolidated VIEs included in the table above represent hundreds of separate entities with which the Company is involved and includes approximately $1.6 billion related to VIEs newly-consolidated as a result of adopting FIN46-R as of January 1, 2004 and $2.1 billion related to VIEs newly consolidated as a result of adopting FIN 46 at July 1, 2003. Of the $35.3 billion and $35.6 billion of total assets of VIEs consolidated by the Company at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, $29.2 billion and $28.1 billion, respectively, represent structured transactions where the Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets or from clients in order to create new security offerings and financing opportunities for clients, $3.6 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, represent investment vehicles that were established to provide a return to the investors in the vehicles, and $2.5 billion and $2.7 billion represent vehicles that hold lease receivables and equipment as collateral to issue debt securities, thus obtaining secured financing at favorable interest rates.

        The Company may, along with other financial institutions, provide liquidity facilities to the VIEs. Furthermore, the Company may be a party to derivative contracts with VIEs, may provide loss enhancement in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees to the VIEs, may be the investment manager, and may also have an ownership interest or other investment in certain VIEs. In general, the investors in the obligations of consolidated VIEs have recourse only to the assets of those VIEs and do not have recourse to the Company, except where the Company has provided a guarantee to the investors or is the counterparty to a derivative transaction involving the VIE.

        In addition to the VIEs that are consolidated in accordance with FIN 46-R, the Company has significant variable interests in certain other VIEs that are not consolidated because the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These include multi-seller finance companies, collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), structured finance transactions, and numerous investment funds. In addition to these VIEs, the Company issues preferred securities to third-party investors through trust vehicles as a source of funding and regulatory capital. In accordance with FIN 46-R, the Company deconsolidated the preferred securities trusts with assets of $6.1 billion during the first quarter of 2004. The Company's liabilities to these trusts are included in long-term debt at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

        The Company administers several third-party owned, special purpose, multi-seller finance companies that purchase pools of trade receivables, credit cards, and other financial assets from third-party clients of the Company. As administrator, the Company provides accounting, funding, and operations services to these conduits. Generally, the Company has no ownership interest in the conduits. The sellers continue to service the transferred assets. The conduits' asset purchases are funded by issuing commercial paper and medium-term notes. The sellers absorb the first losses of the conduit by providing collateral in the form of excess assets. The Company along with other financial institutions provides liquidity facilities, such as commercial paper backstop lines of credit to the conduits. The Company also provides loss protection in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees. All fees are charged on a market basis. During 2003, to comply with FIN 46, all but two of the conduits issued "first loss" subordinated notes such that one third party investor in each conduit would be deemed the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the conduit. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, total assets in unconsolidated conduits were $63.4 billion and $54.2 billion, respectively. One conduit with assets of $412 million and $656 million is consolidated at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

        The Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets or from clients in order to create new security offerings and financing opportunities for institutional and private bank clients as well as retail customers, including hedge funds, mutual funds, unit investment trusts, and other investment funds that match the clients' investment needs and preferences. The funds may be credit-enhanced by excess assets in the investment pool or by third-party insurers assuming the risks of the underlying assets, thus reducing the credit risk assumed by the investors and diversifying investors' risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in individual assets. In a limited number of cases, the Company may guarantee the return of principal to investors. The Company typically manages the funds for market-rate fees. In addition, the Company may be one of several liquidity providers to the funds and

79


may place the securities with investors. Many investment funds are organized as registered investment companies (RICs), corporations or partnerships with sufficient capital to fund their operations without additional credit support.

        The Company also packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings, including arbitrage collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs for institutional clients and retail customers, that match the clients' investment needs and preferences. Typically these instruments diversify investors' risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in an individual asset. The VIEs, which are issuers of CDO securities, are generally organized as limited liability corporations. The Company typically receives fees for structuring and/or distributing the securities sold to investors. In some cases, the Company may repackage the investment with higher rated debt CDO securities or U.S. Treasury securities to provide a greater or a very high degree of certainty of the return of invested principal. A third-party manager is typically retained by the VIE to select collateral for inclusion in the pool and then actively manage it, or, in other cases, only to manage work-out credits. The Company may also provide other financial services and/or products to the VIEs for market-rate fees. These may include: the provision of liquidity or contingent liquidity facilities, interest rate or foreign exchange hedges and credit derivative instruments, as well as the purchasing and warehousing of securities until they are sold to the SPE. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs under FIN 46-R due to our limited continuing involvement and, as a result, we do not consolidate their assets and liabilities in our financial statements.

        In addition to the conduits discussed above, the total assets of unconsolidated VIEs where the Company has significant involvement are $153.0 billion and $145.9 billion at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, including $14.9 billion and $17.7 billion in investment-related transactions, $5.1 billion and $2.2 billion in mortgage-related transactions, $20.7 billion and $17.6 billion in CDO-type transactions, $6.5 billion and $6.4 billion in trust preferred securities, and $105.8 billion and $102.0 billion in structured finance and other transactions.

        The Company has also established a number of investment funds as opportunities for qualified employees to invest in venture capital investments. The Company acts as investment manager to these funds and may provide employees with financing on both a recourse and non-recourse basis for a portion of the employees' investment commitments.

        In addition, the Company administers numerous personal estate trusts. The Company may act as trustee and may also be the investment manager for the trust assets.

        As mentioned above, the Company may, along with other financial institutions, provide liquidity facilities, such as commercial paper backstop lines of credit to the VIEs. The Company may be a party to derivative contracts with VIEs, may provide loss enhancement in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees to the VIEs, may be the investment manager, and may also have an ownership interest in certain VIEs. Although actual losses are not expected to be material, the Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with VIEs that are not consolidated was $89.6 billion at March 31, 2005. For this purpose, maximum exposure is considered to be the notional amounts of credit lines, guarantees, other credit support, and liquidity facilities, the notional amounts of credit default swaps and certain total return swaps, and the amount invested where Citigroup has an ownership interest in the VIEs. In addition, the Company may be party to other derivative contracts with VIEs. Exposures that are considered to be guarantees are also included in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

13.   Retirement Benefits

        The Company has several non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees and has various defined benefit pension and termination indemnity plans covering employees outside the United States. The U.S. defined benefit plan provides benefits under a cash balance formula. Employees satisfying certain age and service requirements remain covered by a prior final pay formula. The Company also offers postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain eligible U.S. retired employees, as well as to certain eligible employees outside the United States. For information on the Company's Retirement Benefit Plans and Pension Assumptions, see Citigroup's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        The following table summarizes the components of the net expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

For plans outside the U.S., net postretirement benefit expense was $4 million and $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Employer Contributions

        Citigroup's funding policy for U.S. plans and non-U.S. plans is generally to fund to the amounts of accumulated benefit obligations. For the U.S. plans, the Company may increase its contributions above the minimum required contribution under ERISA, if appropriate to its tax and cash position and the plan's funded position. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, there were no minimum required contributions and no discretionary or non-cash contributions are currently planned for the U.S. plans. For the non-U.S. plans, the Company contributed $26 million as of March 31, 2005. Citigroup presently anticipates contributing an additional $168 million to fund its non-U.S. plans in 2005 for a total of $194 million.

14.   Guarantees

Obligations under Guarantees

        The Company provides a variety of guarantees and indemnifications to Citigroup customers to enhance their credit standing and enable them to complete a wide variety of business transactions. The tables below summarize at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 all of the Company's guarantees and indemnifications, where we believe the guarantees and indemnifications are related to an asset, liability, or equity security of the guaranteed parties at the inception of the contract. The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could be lost under the guarantees and indemnifications if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. Such amounts bear no relationship to the anticipated losses on these guarantees and indemnifications and greatly exceed anticipated losses.

        The following tables present information about the Company's guarantees at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

(1)
The carrying values of collection of contractual cash flows, securities lending indemnifications, credit card merchant processing and custody indemnifications are not material as the Company has determined that the amount and probability of potential liabilities arising from these guarantees are not significant and the carrying amount of the Company's obligations under these guarantees is immaterial.

        Financial standby letters of credit include guarantees of payment of insurance premiums and reinsurance risks that support industrial revenue bond underwriting and settlement of payment obligations in clearing houses, and that support options and purchases of securities or in lieu of escrow deposit accounts. Financial standbys also backstop loans, credit facilities, promissory notes and trade acceptances. Performance guarantees and letters of credit are issued to guarantee a customer's tender bid on a construction or systems installation project or to guarantee completion of such projects in accordance with contract terms. They are also issued to support a customer's obligation to supply specified products, commodities, or maintenance or warranty services to a third party. Derivative instruments include credit default swaps, total return swaps, written foreign exchange options, written put options, and written equity warrants. Guarantees of collection of contractual cash flows protect investors in credit card receivables securitization trusts from loss of interest relating to insufficient collections on the underlying receivables in the trusts. Loans sold with recourse represent the Company's obligations to reimburse the buyers for loan losses under certain circumstances. Securities lending indemnifications are issued to guarantee that a security lending customer will be made whole in the event that the security borrower does not return the security subject to the lending agreement and collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the security. Credit card merchant processing guarantees represent the Company's obligations in connection with the processing of credit card transactions on behalf of merchants. Custody indemnifications are issued to guarantee that custody clients will be made whole in the event that a third-party subcustodian fails to safeguard clients' assets.

        At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company's maximum potential amount of future payments under these guarantees was approximately $531.0 billion and $480.4 billion, respectively. For this purpose, the maximum potential amount of future payments is considered to be the notional amounts of letters of credit, guarantees, written credit default swaps, written total return swaps,

82


indemnifications, and recourse provisions of loans sold with recourse, and the fair values of foreign exchange options and other written put options, warrants, caps and floors.

        Citigroup's primary credit card business is the issuance of credit cards to individuals. The Company also provides processing services to various merchants, processing credit card transactions on their behalf and managing the merchant's cash flow related to their credit card activity. In connection with these services, a contingent liability arises in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder's favor and generally extends between three and six months after the date the transaction is processed or the receipt of the product or service, depending on industry practice or statutory requirements. In this situation, the transaction is "charged back" to the merchant and the disputed amount is credited or otherwise refunded to the cardholder. If the Company is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount of the refund paid to the cardholder. The risk of loss is mitigated as the cash flows between the Company and the merchant are settled on a net basis and the Company has the right to offset any payments with cash flows otherwise due to the merchant. To further mitigate this risk, Citigroup may require the merchant to make an escrow deposit, delay settlement, include event triggers to provide the Company with more financial and operational control in the event of the financial deterioration of the merchant, or require various credit enhancements (including letters of credit and bank guarantees). At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company held as collateral approximately $8 million and $6 million, respectively, of merchant escrow deposits and also had $102.8 million and $68 million, respectively, payable to merchants, which the Company has the right to set off against amounts due from the individual merchants.

        The Company's maximum potential liability for this contingent merchant processing liability is estimated to be the total volume of credit card transactions that meet the associations' requirements to be valid chargeback transactions at any given time. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, this maximum potential exposure was estimated to be $27.1 billion and $29.7 billion, respectively. However, the Company believes that the maximum exposure is not representative of the actual potential loss exposure based on the Company's historical experience. In most cases, this contingent liability is unlikely to arise, as most products and services are delivered when purchased and amounts are refunded when items are returned to merchants. The Company assesses the probability and amount of its liability related to merchant processing based on the extent and nature of unresolved chargebacks and its historical loss experience. At March 31, 2005, the estimated losses incurred and the carrying amount of the Company's obligations related to merchant processing activities was immaterial.

        In addition, the Company, through its credit card business, provides various cardholder protection programs on several of its card products, including programs that provide insurance coverage for rental cars, coverage for certain losses associated with purchased products, price protection for certain purchases and protection for lost luggage. These guarantees are not included in the table above since the total outstanding amount of the guarantees and the Company's maximum exposure to loss cannot be quantified. The protection is limited to certain types of purchases and certain types of losses and it is not possible to quantify the purchases that would qualify for these benefits at any given time. Actual losses related to these programs were not material during the first quarters of 2005 and 2004. The Company assesses the probability and amount of its potential liability related to these programs based on the extent and nature of its historical loss experience. At March 31, 2005, the estimated losses incurred and the carrying value of the Company's obligations related to these programs are immaterial.

        In the normal course of business, the Company provides standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with numerous transactions and also provides indemnifications that protect the counterparties to the contracts in the event that additional taxes are owed due either to a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law. Counterparties to these transactions provide the Company with comparable indemnifications. While such representations, warranties and tax indemnifications are essential components of many contractual relationships, they do not represent the underlying business purpose for the transactions. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms related to the Company's own performance under the terms of a contract and are entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss is remote. Often these clauses are intended to ensure that terms of a contract are met at inception (for example, that loans transferred to a counterparty in a sales transaction did in fact meet the conditions specified in the contract at the transfer date). No compensation is received for these standard representations and warranties and it is not possible to determine their fair value because they rarely, if ever, result in a payment. In many cases, there are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses and the contingencies potentially triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. There are no amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, related to these indemnifications and they are not included in the table above.

83


        In addition, the Company is a member of or shareholder in hundreds of value transfer networks (VTNs) (payment, clearing and settlement systems as well as securities exchanges) around the world. As a condition of membership, many of these VTNs require that members stand ready to backstop the net effect on the VTNs of a member's default on its obligations. The Company's potential obligations as a shareholder or member of VTN associations are excluded from the scope of FIN 45, since the shareholders and members represent subordinated classes of investors in the VTNs. Accordingly, the Company's participation in VTNs is not reported in the table above and there are no amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004 for potential obligations that could arise from the Company's involvement with VTN associations.

        At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the carrying amounts of the liabilities related to the guarantees and indemnifications included in the table above amounted to approximately $14.4 billion and $15.4 billion. The carrying value of derivative instruments is included in either trading liabilities or other liabilities depending upon whether the derivative was entered into for trading or non-trading purposes. The carrying value of financial and performance guarantees is included in other liabilities. The carrying value of the guarantees of contractual cash flows are offset against the receivables from the credit card trusts. For loans sold with recourse the carrying value of the liability is included in other liabilities. In addition, at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, other liabilities includes an allowance for credit losses of $600 million relating to letters of credit and unfunded lending commitments.

        In addition to the collateral available in respect of the credit card merchant processing contingent liability discussed above, the Company has collateral available to reimburse potential losses on its other guarantees. Cash collateral available to the Company to reimburse losses realized under these guarantees and indemnifications amounted to $51.2 billion and $43.3 billion at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Securities and other marketable assets held as collateral amounted to $30.3 billion and $31.6 billion and letters of credit in favor of the Company held as collateral amounted to $541 million and $635 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Other property may also be available to the Company to cover losses under certain guarantees and indemnifications; however, the value of such property has not been determined.

15.   Contingencies

        As described in the "Legal Proceedings" discussion on page 85, the Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of alleged misconduct in connection with:

        During the 2004 second quarter, in connection with the settlement of the WorldCom class action, the Company reevaluated and increased its reserves for these matters. The Company recorded a charge of $7.915 billion ($4.95 billion after-tax) relating to (i) the settlement of class action litigation brought on behalf of purchasers of WorldCom securities, and (ii) an increase in litigation reserves for the other matters described above. Subject to the terms of the WorldCom class action settlement, and its eventual approval by the courts, the Company will make a payment of $2.575 billion, or $1.59 billion after-tax, to the WorldCom settlement class. As of March 31, 2005, the Company's litigation reserve for these matters, net of the amount to be paid upon final approval of the WorldCom class action settlement, was $6.64 billion on a pretax basis.

        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, the novel issues presented, and the significant amounts involved, it is possible that the ultimate costs of these matters may exceed or be below the reserve. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in these cases, and seek to resolve them in the manner management believes is in the best interests of the Company.

        In addition, in the ordinary course of business, Citigroup and its subsidiaries are defendants or co-defendants or parties in various litigation and regulatory matters incidental to and typical of the businesses in which they are engaged. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of these legal and regulatory proceedings would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company but, if involving monetary liability, may be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period.

        The following information supplements and amends our discussion set forth under Part I, Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Enron Corp.

        In April 2005, Citigroup, along with other financial institution defendants, reached an agreement-in-principle to settle four state-court actions brought by various investment funds, which were not previously consolidated or coordinated with the NEWBY action. The four cases are OCM OPPORTUNITIES FUND III, L.P., et al. v. CITIGROUP INC., et al.; PACIFIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CO. LLC, et al. v. CITIGROUP INC., et al.; AUSA LIFE INSURANCE v. CITIGROUP INC., et al. and PRINCIPAL GLOBAL INVESTORS v. CITIGROUP INC., et al. The amounts to be paid in settlement of these actions are covered by existing litigation reserves.

Dynegy Inc.

        The court had previously denied lead plaintiff's motion for leave to amend; no appeal was yet timely while the remainder of the case remained pending. On April 15, 2005, as part of a global settlement involving all defendants, Citigroup entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle this case. The amount to be paid in settlement is covered by existing litigation reserves.

WorldCom, Inc.

        The District Court approved the settlement of the IN RE TARGETS SECURITIES LITIGATION on April 22, 2005.

Global Crossing

        The plaintiffs and the Citigroup Related Defendants have entered into a definitive settlement agreement in the IN RE GLOBAL CROSSING, LTD SECURITIES LITIGATION; the settlement was preliminarily approved by the Court on March 8, 2005. The amount to be paid in settlement is covered by existing litigation reserves.

Research

        Two putative class actions against CGMI asserting common law claims on behalf of CGMI customers in connection with published investment research have been dismissed by United States District Courts, the dismissals of which were affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Third and Ninth Circuits, respectively. Plaintiffs in the Ninth Circuit case have sought review by the United States Supreme Court; their petition for a writ of certiorari, which CGMI opposed, is pending before that court.

Parmalat

        On February 28, 2005, the Court granted in part and denied in part defendants' motion to dismiss the New Jersey action. Defendants filed an answer and counterclaims on March 17, 2005, alleging causes of action for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, conversion and breach of warranty. On April 21, 2005, plaintiff/counterclaim defendant filed a motion to dismiss the counterclaims. That motion remains pending.

Foreign Currency Conversion

        On March 9, 2005, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted in part and denied in part defendants' motions for reconsideration of certain aspects of the October 15, 2004 rulings. Among other things, the Court narrowed the antitrust classes to certain VISA-branded or MasterCard-branded cardholders of Citibank (South Dakota) and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., and declined to certify a Diners Club subclass. Plaintiffs have since filed a motion asking the Court to reconsider portions of its March 9, 2005 rulings.

85


Mutual Funds

        The Company entered into a settlement with the SEC with respect to revenue sharing and sales of classes of funds.

Investigations of Euro Zone Government Bonds Trade

        The German prosecutors have declined to take any actions against the employees in connection with this matter.
