(1)          Revenues, Net of Interest Expense, and Benefits, Claims, and Credit Losses in the table above are disclosed on an owned basis (under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)).  If this table were prepared on a managed basis, which includes certain effects of credit card securitization activities including receivables held for securitization and receivables sold with servicing retained, there would be no impact to net income, but Revenues, Net of Interest Expense, and Benefits, Claims, and Credit Losses would each have been increased by $1.208 billion and $1.081 billion in the 2003 and 2002 second quarters, respectively, and by $2.310 billion and $2.094 billion in the respective six-month periods.  Although a managed basis presentation is not in conformity with GAAP, the Company believes it provides a representation of performance and key indicators of the credit card business that is consistent with the way management reviews operating performance and allocates resources.  Furthermore, investors utilize information about the credit quality of the entire managed portfolio as the results of both the held and securitized portfolios impact the overall performance of the Cards business.  See the discussion of the Cards business on page 16.

(2)          Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (TPC) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup on December 31, 2001) sold 231,000,000 shares of its class A common stock in an initial public offering (IPO) on March 27, 2002.  Citigroup made a tax-free distribution to its stockholders of a portion of its ownership interest in TPC on August 20, 2002.  Discontinued Operations includes the operations of TPC, the $1.270 billion gain on the IPO ($1.061 billion after-tax recognized in the 2002 first quarter and $97 million after-tax recognized in the 2002 third quarter) and income taxes.  Following the distribution, Citigroup was a holder of approximately 9.9% of TPC’s common equity.  See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3)          Accounting Change refers to the 2002 first quarter adoption of the remaining provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142).  See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

 

Income and Earnings Per Share

 

Citigroup reported income from continuing operations of $4.299 billion or $0.83 per diluted share in the 2003 second quarter, up 12% and 14% from $3.829 billion or $0.73 in the 2002 second quarter.

 

Net income in the 2003 second quarter of $4.299 billion or $0.83 per diluted share was up 5% and 6% from $4.084 billion or $0.78 per diluted share in the 2002 second quarter.  Net income in the 2002 second quarter included income from discontinued operations relating to Travelers Property Casualty (TPC) of $255 million (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  Return on average common equity was 19.2% compared to 19.5% a year ago.

 

Income from continuing operations for the 2003 six months of $8.402 billion or $1.62 per diluted share was up 15% and 16% from $7.313 billion or $1.40 per diluted share in the 2002 six months.  Net income in the 2002 six months included an after-tax gain of $1.061 billion from the initial public offering of TPC’s stock, $600 million (after-tax) in income from discontinued operations from TPC and an after-tax charge of $47 million, reflecting the cumulative effect of adopting an accounting change (as described in Notes 2 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Return on average common equity was 19.2% and 21.7% in the six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Global Consumer net income increased $348 million or 18% and $775 million or 21% in the 2003 second quarter and six months compared to the 2002 periods.  Global Corporate and Investment Bank (GCIB) increased $22 million or 2% and $296 million or 12% in the 2003 second quarter and six months compared to the 2002 periods.  Private Client Services income declined $42 million or 19% in the 2003 second quarter and declined $102 million or 23% from the year-ago six-month period.  Global Investment Management grew $61 million or 16% and $103 million or 13% from the respective 2002 periods, while Proprietary Investment Activities increased $97 million and $62 million from the 2002 second quarter and six-month periods.

 

See individual segment and product discussions on pages 15 – 33 for additional discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations.

 

Revenues, Net of Interest Expense

 

Total revenues, net of interest expense, of $19.4 billion and $37.9 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months were up $1.4 billion or 8% and $2.1 billion or 6%, respectively, from the 2002 periods. Global Consumer revenues were up $861 million or 9% in the 2003 second quarter to $10.1 billion, and were up $1.7 billion or 10% in the 2003 six months to $20.0 billion.  Increases in Retail Banking revenues of $834 million or 24% and $1.3 billion or 18% from the 2002 second quarter and six months, respectively, were driven by the results of Golden State Bancorp (GSB) as well as increases in most regions.  Compared to the 2002 periods, Cards was up $102 million or 3% in the 2003 second quarter and $314 million or 5% in the 2003 six months, while Consumer Finance revenue declined $18 million or 1% in the 2003 second quarter primarily due to declines in Japan, and was up $182 million or 4% in the 2003 six months.

 

Compared to the 2002 periods, GCIB revenues were up $352 million or 7% to $5.4 billion in the 2003 second quarter and were up $299 million or 3% in the 2003 six months, driven by Capital Markets and Banking, up $312 million or 7% and $114 million or 1% in the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods.  Capital Markets and Banking growth in the 2003 second quarter reflected increases in Fixed Income.

 

Global Investment Management revenues of $2.1 billion in the 2003 second quarter and $4.1 billion in the 2003 six months were up $157 million or 8% and $240 million or 6% from the comparable 2002 periods, primarily due to growth in asset-based fee revenues and the impact of acquisitions.  Private Client Services revenues were down $102 million or 7% in the 2003 second quarter and were down $282 million or 9% in the six-month comparison primarily reflecting lower fee revenue and lower transaction volumes.  Revenues in Proprietary Investment Activities increased $217 million and $200 million from the 2002 second quarter and six months, respectively, primarily reflecting higher net recognized gains and lower impairment write-downs.

 

Selected Revenue Items

 

Net interest revenue rose $210 million or 2% from the 2002 second quarter to $9.6 billion and increased $645 million or 3% from the 2002 six months to $19.3 billion, reflecting increases in fixed income trading and investment positions, acquisitions, the impact of a changing rate environment and business volume growth.

 

Total commissions and asset management and administration fees of $5.4 billion were down $79 million or 1% from the 2002 second quarter, primarily as a result of decreases in volumes.  Insurance premiums of $839 million and $1.7 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months were down $92 million or 10%, and $47 million or 3%, respectively, from the 2002 periods.

Principal transactions revenues of $1.3 billion and $2.9 billion for the 2003 second quarter and six months were up $41 million or 3% from the 2002 second quarter and $30 million or 1% from the 2002 six-month period attributable to strong fixed income underwriting.

 

Realized gains from sales of investments were up $378 million from the 2002 second quarter and $510 million from the 2002 six months, primarily resulting from the absence of losses from WorldCom in the prior-year periods and gains on the Company’s insurance investment portfolio.  Other revenue of $2.0 billion in the 2003 second quarter and $3.3 billion for the 2003 six months increased $903 million from the year-ago quarter and was up $1.3 billion from the 2002 six months, primarily reflecting higher venture capital activity and higher securitization gains and activity, partially offset by increased credit losses on securitized credit card receivables.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses of $10.0 billion and $19.5 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, were up $824 million or 9% in the 2003 second quarter and were up $1.3 billion or 7% in the 2003 six months, compared to year-ago levels.  The increase primarily reflects the addition of GSB, severance costs, costs associated with the repositioning of our Latin America business, higher legal and pension costs, the additional cost of expensing stock options and an increase in the amortization of deferred acquisition costs in Life Insurance and Annuities.

 

Global Consumer expenses in the 2003 second quarter and six months were both up 11%.  GCIB expenses were up 13% in the quarter and were up 8% in the six months while Global Investment Management expenses were up 13% and 10% from the year-ago periods.  Private Client Services expenses were down 4% in the 2003 second quarter and were down 6% in the six month period.

 

Benefits, Claims, and Credit Losses

 

Benefits, claims, and credit losses were $3.1 billion and $6.0 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, up $105 million and down $333 million from the 2002 second quarter and six months, respectively.  Policyholder benefits and claims in the 2003 second quarter decreased 3% from the 2002 second quarter to $901 million, and were up 3% to $1.8 billion in the 2003 six months, primarily as a result of increases in Life Insurance and Annuities.  The provision for credit losses increased 6% from the 2002 second quarter to $2.2 billion in the 2003 second quarter and decreased 8% from the 2002 six months to $4.2 billion in the 2003 six months.

 

Global Consumer provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses of $2.1 billion in the 2003 second quarter were up 4% from the 2002 second quarter, reflecting increases in Consumer Finance.  Total net credit losses were $1.745 billion and the related loss ratio (excluding Commercial Markets) was 2.42% in the 2003 second quarter, as compared to $1.707 billion and 2.38% in the preceding quarter and $1.655 billion and 2.72% in the year-ago quarter.  The consumer loan delinquency ratio (90 days or more past due) increased to 2.41% at June 30, 2003 from 2.40% at March 31, 2003 and decreased from 2.53% a year ago.  See page 38 for a reconciliation of total consumer credit information.

 

The GCIB provision for credit losses of $298 million in the 2003 second quarter increased $33 million or 12% while the six-month provision decreased $419 million or 50% from year-ago levels.  The decrease was primarily due to provisions for Argentina and exposures in the telecommunications industry recorded during the 2002 first quarter.

 

Corporate cash-basis loans at June 30, 2003 and 2002 were $4.204 billion and $3.840 billion, respectively, while the corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) portfolio totaled $89 million and $136 million, respectively.  The increase in cash-basis loans from the 2002 second quarter was primarily attributable to borrowers in the power and energy industry, as well as corporate borrowers in Brazil, Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore and Mexico.  Corporate cash-basis loans at June 30, 2003 increased $122 million from March 31, 2003 primarily due to exposures in the power and energy industry, as well as corporate borrowers in Singapore, Australia and Brazil.  The decrease in OREO from the 2002 second quarter was primarily due to continued improvements in the North America real estate portfolio.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate of 31.1% in the 2003 second quarter declined 330 basis points from 34.4% in the 2002 second quarter.  The decline primarily represented benefits for not providing U.S. income taxes for the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries and a $94 million release of a tax reserve related to a settlement with tax authorities which increased income in Japan.

 

Capital

 

Total capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) was $84.8 billion or 11.94% of net risk-adjusted assets, and Tier 1 capital was $64.1 billion or 9.02% at June 30, 2003, compared to $78.3 billion or 11.25% and $59.0 billion or 8.47%, respectively, at December 31, 2002.

EVENTS IN 2002 and 2003

 

Acquisition of Sears’ Credit Card Business

 

On July 15, 2003, Citigroup announced that it will acquire Sears’ $29 billion Credit Card business (the 8th largest portfolio in the U.S.) of private label and bankcard credit card receivables in a transaction in which Citigroup will pay a 10% premium or approximately $3 billion at closing.  The acquisition will also include Sears’ Financial Products business and credit card facilities with approximately 8,300 employees (5,800 full-time employees).  In addition, the companies signed a multi-year marketing and servicing agreement across a range of each company’s businesses, products and services.  The transaction is expected to close by year-end, subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

 

Common Dividend Increase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 

On July 14, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 75% increase in the quarterly dividend on the Company’s common stock to 35 cents a share from 20 cents a share. The increase in the quarterly dividend is part of an effort to reallocate capital to dividends and reduce share repurchases.  Additionally, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) for holders of Citigroup common stock.  Registered holders of Citigroup common stock may elect to participate in the Plan and have some or all of their dividends reinvested in Citigroup common stock.

 

Settlement of Certain Legal and Regulatory Matters

 

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

 

On April 28, 2003, Salomon Smith Barney Inc., now named Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGMI), announced final agreements with the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the New York Attorney General (as lead state among the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) to resolve on a civil basis all of their outstanding investigations into its research and IPO allocation and distribution practices (the Research Settlement).  Consistent with the settlement-in-principle announced in December 2002, CGMI will pay $300 million for retrospective relief, plus $25 million for investor education, and has committed to spend $75 million to provide independent third-party research to its clients at no charge. CGMI will also adopt new policies and procedures to further ensure the independence of its research and address other issues identified in the course of the investigation. CGMI reached these final settlement agreements without admitting or denying any wrongdoing or liability. The Research Settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding. The Company established a reserve for the cost of this settlement during the 2002 fourth quarter.

 

In April 2003, to effectuate the Research Settlement, the SEC filed a Complaint and Final Judgment in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  The Final Judgment has not yet been entered by the court, and the court has asked for certain additional information.  Also in April 2003, the NASD accepted the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent entered into with CGMI in connection with the Research Settlement; and in May 2003, the NYSE advised CGMI that the Hearing Panel’s Decision, in which it accepted the Research Settlement, had become final.  CGMI is currently in discussion with various of the states with respect to completion of the state components of the Research Settlement.  Payment will be made in conformance with the payment provisions of the Final Judgment.

Impact from Argentina’s Economic Changes

 

Throughout 2002, Argentina experienced significant political and economic changes including severe recessionary conditions, high inflation and political uncertainty.  The government of Argentina implemented substantial economic changes, including abandoning the country’s fixed U.S. dollar-to-peso exchange rate, and asymmetrically redenominating substantially all of the banking industry’s loans, deposits (which were also restricted) and other assets and liabilities previously denominated in U.S. dollars into pesos at different rates.  As a result of the impact of these government actions, the Company changed its functional currency in Argentina from the U.S. dollar to the Argentine peso during the 2002 first quarter.  Additionally, the government issued certain compensation instruments to financial institutions to compensate them in part for losses incurred as a result of the redenomination events.  The government also announced a 180-day moratorium against creditors filing foreclosures or bankruptcy proceedings against borrowers.  Later in the year, the government modified the terms of certain of their Patriotic Bonds, making them less valuable.  The government actions, combined with the severe recessionary economic situation and the devaluation of the peso, adversely impacted Citigroup’s business in Argentina.

 

During the full year of 2002, Citigroup recorded a total of $1.704 billion in net pretax charges, as follows: $1.018 billion in net provisions for credit losses; $284 million in investment write-downs; $232 million in losses relating to Amparos (representing judicial orders requiring previously dollar-denominated deposits and insurance contracts that had been redenominated at government rates to be immediately repaid at market exchange rates); $98 million of write-downs of Patriotic Bonds; a $42 million restructuring charge; and a $30 million net charge for currency redenomination and other foreign currency items that includes a benefit from compensation instruments issued in 2002.

 

Of these charges, Citigroup recorded a total of $84 million in pretax charges in the 2002 second quarter and $942 million (pretax) in the 2002 six-month period.

 

In addition, the impact of the devaluation of the peso during 2002 produced foreign currency translation losses that reduced Citigroup’s equity by $595 million, net of tax, during 2002, including $512 million, net of tax, during the 2002 first quarter and an additional $77 million, net of tax, in the 2002 second quarter.

 

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

 

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

 

As the economic situation as well as legal and regulatory issues in Argentina remain fluid, we continue to work with the government and our customers and continue to monitor conditions closely.  Additional losses may be incurred.  In particular, we continue to monitor the potential additional impact that the continued economic crisis may have on our corporate borrowers, as well as the impact on consumer deposits and insurance liabilities of potential government actions, including re-dollarization.  Another item we continue to monitor is the realizability of government obligations such as the compensation instruments.  The initial principal payment of approximately $70 million under certain compensation instruments issued to the Company is due in August 2003.

 

On July 3, 2003, an insurance subsidiary of the Company that issues annuities obtained approval from the Argentine Ministry of Insurance to offer a restructuring plan for its voluntary annuity holders.  The plan offers three alternatives, from which its customers will be able to elect during the third quarter of 2003.  The alternatives are settlement with local currency, a Company-issued U.S. dollar obligation with a maturity of up to 10 years or a government bond.  Once the annuitants have made an election, the Company will be able to evaluate the impact this restructuring plan will have on its financial results.

Initial Public Offering and Tax-Free Distribution of Travelers Property Casualty Corp.

 

Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (TPC) (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup on December 31, 2001) sold 231 million shares of its class A common stock representing approximately 23.1% of its outstanding equity securities in an initial public offering (the IPO) on March 27, 2002.  In 2002, Citigroup recognized an after-tax gain of $1.158 billion ($1.061 billion after-tax recognized in the 2002 first quarter and $97 million after-tax recognized in the 2002 third quarter) as a result of the IPO.

 

On August 20, 2002, Citigroup completed the distribution to its stockholders of a majority portion of its remaining ownership interest in TPC (the distribution). This non-cash distribution was tax-free to Citigroup, its stockholders and TPC.  The distribution was treated as a dividend to stockholders for accounting purposes that reduced Citigroup’s Additional Paid-In Capital by approximately $7.0 billion.  Following the distribution, Citigroup was a holder of approximately 9.9% of TPC’s outstanding equity securities which are carried at fair value in the Proprietary Investment Activities segment and classified as available-for-sale within Investments on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

 

Following the August 20, 2002 distribution, the results of TPC were reported in the Company’s Statements of Income and Cash Flows separately as discontinued operations.  TPC represented the primary vehicle by which Citigroup engaged in the property and casualty insurance business.

 

Acquisition of Golden State Bancorp

 

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

 

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

 

ACCOUNTING CHANGES IN 2003

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123), prospectively to all awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003.  The prospective method is one of the adoption methods provided for under SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” issued in December 2002.  SFAS 123 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period). This compensation cost is determined using option pricing models, intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date.  Similar to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” the alternative method of accounting, an offsetting increase to stockholders’ equity under SFAS 123 is recorded equal to the amount of compensation expense charged.  Earnings per share dilution is recognized as well.

 

Assuming a three-year vesting provision for options, the estimated impact of this change will be approximately $0.03 per diluted share in 2003 and, when fully phased in over three years, approximately $0.06 per diluted share annually. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34.

 

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

The Company has made changes to various stock-based compensation plan provisions for awards granted after 2002.  For example, the vesting period and the term of stock options granted after 2002 have been shortened to three and six years, respectively.  In addition, the sale of underlying shares acquired through the exercise of options granted in 2003 is restricted for a two-year period.  The Company continues its existing stock ownership commitment for senior executives which requires executives to retain at least 75% of the shares they own and acquire from the Company, subject to certain minimum ownership guidelines, over the term of their employment.  Original option grants in 2003 and thereafter will not have a reload feature; however, previously granted options retain that feature.  Other changes also may be made that may impact the SFAS 123 adoption estimates disclosed above.  This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act.  See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34.

 

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

 

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

 

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46).  This interpretation changes the method of determining whether certain entities, including securitization entities, should be included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.  An entity is subject to FIN 46 and is called a variable interest entity (VIE) if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity.  All other entities are evaluated for consolidation in accordance with SFAS No. 94, “Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries” (SFAS 94).  A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that has a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns or both.

 

The provisions of the interpretation are to be applied immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. For VIEs in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is applicable beginning July 1, 2003.  For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN 46, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE would be initially measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change.  If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46 first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE.

 

The Company is evaluating the impact of applying FIN 46 to existing VIEs in which it has variable interests and has not yet completed this analysis.  The Company previously reported that the implementation of FIN 46 could increase both assets and liabilities by $55 billion.  However, the Company has since restructured certain VIEs that enables them to meet the criteria for non-consolidation.  At this time, it is anticipated that the effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position could be an increase of approximately $5 billion to both assets and liabilities.  As we continue to evaluate the impact of applying FIN 46, additional entities may be identified that would need to be consolidated by the Company.  This paragraph contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34.

 

Guarantees and Indemnifications

 

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

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 149).  SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133.  In particular, this Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows.  This Statement is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Liabilities and Equity

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (SFAS 150).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and classifies them in its statement of financial position.  It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) when that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.  This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34.

 

Accounting Changes in 2002

 

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

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

 

On January 1, 2002, Citigroup adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 142, when the rules became effective for calendar year companies.  Under the new rules, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests.  Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.  The adoption resulted in a cumulative adjustment of $47 million (after-tax) reported as a charge to earnings related to the impairment of certain intangible assets.

 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

 

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

 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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


The net income line in the following business segments and operating unit discussions excludes the cumulative effect of accounting change and income from discontinued operations.  The cumulative effect of accounting change and income from discontinued operations is disclosed within the Corporate/Other business segment.  See Notes 2 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Global Consumer – which provides banking, lending, including credit and charge cards, and investment and personal insurance products and services to customers around the world — reported net income of $2.294 billion and $4.472 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, up $348 million or 18% and $775 million or 21% from the comparable 2002 periods, driven by growth in Retail Banking and Cards that was partially offset by a decline in Consumer FinanceRetail Banking net income increased $404 million or 63% in the 2003 second quarter and $716 million or 55% in the 2003 six months from the prior-year periods, reflecting the impact of the Golden State Bancorp (GSB) acquisition, organic revenue growth and improved credit costs.  Cards net income increased $46 million or 6% in the 2003 second quarter and $202 million or 16% in the 2003 six months from the 2002 periods primarily reflecting increases in North America.  Consumer Finance net income of $508 million and $993 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months declined $60 million or 11% and $105 million or 10% from the 2002 periods, as the addition of the GSB auto finance business was more than offset by continued weakness in Japan.

Growth in Global Consumer in the 2003 second quarter and six months reflected increases in all regions except Japan.  Net income in North America (excluding Mexico) grew 17% in both the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, driven by the acquisition of GSB and growth in Retail Banking and Cards.  Mexico contributed growth of $100 million and $218 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, mainly reflecting volume and spread improvements combined with a lower provision for credit losses.  EMEA experienced growth of 16% in the 2003 second quarter and 13% in the six-month period, mainly reflecting the strengthening of the Euro combined with higher business volumes in all products.  A decline in Japan of 30% in both the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods primarily reflected the impact of lower volumes and spreads and increased credit losses in Consumer Finance that were partially offset, in the six month comparison, by the acquisitions of Taihei and Marufuku. In addition, the 2003 second quarter results in Japan included a $94 million release of a tax reserve resulting from a settlement with tax authorities.  The increase in Latin America in the 2003 second quarter and six months was mainly due to Argentina and reflected the absence of charges taken in the 2002 periods, partially offset by costs in the 2003 second quarter attributable to business repositioning across the region.

Cards – which includes bankcards, private-label cards and charge cards in 47 countries around the world - reported net income of $768 million and $1.503 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, up $46 million or 6% and $202 million or 16% from the 2002 periods, led by North America, which benefited from revenue growth that was driven by increases in average managed receivables.  International Cards income declined $8 million or 7% compared to the prior-year quarter and increased $70 million or 50% compared to the 2002 six months, both reflecting changes in the allowance for credit losses related to Argentina in the 2002 periods.

 

As shown in the following table, average managed loans grew 5% and 6% in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, reflecting growth of 4% and 6% in North America and 12% and 13% in International Cards.  Growth in North America was led by Citi Cards, reflecting a higher level of promotional rate balances and new product launches.  Average loan growth in the 2003 second quarter was negatively impacted by a change in acquisition marketing strategies which resulted in a decline in promotional rate balances compared to the prior quarter.  Growth in International Cards reflected increases in EMEA, driven by the U.K., and in Asia, led by Korea and Malaysia.  The growth in International Cards also included the benefit of strengthening currencies and was partially offset by a decline in Latin America, which reflected lower loan volumes across the region.  Sales in North America declined 4% in the 2003 second quarter, reflecting the change in acquisition marketing strategies partially offset by an increase in sales per active account.  International Cards sales grew 10% from the prior-year quarter, reflecting strong growth in EMEA, which benefited from marketing and expansion efforts. In Asia, sales were up 2% as growth across the region was partially offset by the effect of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), impacting mostly Hong Kong and Taiwan.

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

 

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $3.309 billion and $6.642 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months rose $102 million or 3% and $314 million or 5% from the 2002 periods, primarily reflecting growth in North America, EMEA and Asia.  Revenue growth in North America was primarily due to the benefit of receivable growth and increased cardholder services fees and was partially offset by lower spreads.  Managed net interest revenue as a percent of average managed loans in North America of 10.27% declined 19 bps from the prior-year quarter, as lower cost of funds was more than offset by the impact of increased promotional rate balances.  Citi Cards revenues in the 2003 second quarter included gains from the sale of $1.7 billion in non-strategic portfolios.  In addition, Citi Cards revenues included net gains of $69 million and $215 million, in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, as a result of changes in estimates in the timing of revenue recognition on securitizations while prior-year revenues included $94 million and $115 million, in the quarter and six months, respectively, resulting from an increase in the amortization period for certain direct loan origination costs.  Increases in EMEA and Asia were driven by growth in receivables and sales combined with the benefit of foreign currency translation.

 

16



 

Operating expenses of $1.463 billion and $2.909 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, increased $82 million or 6% and $201 million or 7% from the prior-year periods. In North America, expenses increased 8% in both the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, driven by increased advertising expenditures and on-going business initiatives, including costs associated with the anticipated third quarter addition of the Home Depot private label card portfolio as well as the absence of a $19 million restructuring reserve release in the prior year.  In International Cards, expenses were unchanged in the quarter and up 5% in the six months as disciplined expense management was offset by the impact of foreign currency translation and, in the six-month comparison, investments to support business growth, including costs associated with the consolidation of certain back office operations in Europe.

 

The provision for credit losses in the 2003 second quarter and six months was $678 million and $1.452 billion, respectively, compared to $729 million and $1.626 billion in the 2002 periods. In the prior year, the provision for credit losses included a $117 million addition to the allowance for credit losses in the 2002 first quarter resulting from deteriorating credit in Argentina that was partially offset by a $31 million release in the 2002 second quarter resulting from a decline in the Argentine loan portfolio.  Excluding the prior year amounts related to Argentina, the decline in the provision for credit losses reflected credit improvement in North America and in the international markets overall and an increase in the level of securitized receivables, partially offset by the impact of higher loss rates in the U.K. and Korea.  Net credit losses in the 2003 second quarter were $679 million with a related loss ratio of 5.41%, compared to $730 million and 5.49% for the 2003 first quarter and $760 million and 6.51% in the prior-year quarter.  Loans delinquent 90 days or more were $870 million or 1.80% of loans at June 30, 2003, compared to $932 million or 1.81% at March 31, 2003 and $925 million or 1.87% at June 30, 2002.

 

The securitization of credit card receivables is limited to the Citi Cards business within North America.  At June 30, 2003, securitized credit card receivables were $72.0 billion, compared to $65.8 billion at June 30, 2002.  Credit card receivables held-for-sale were $3.0 billion at June 30, 2003, compared to $6.5 billion a year ago.  Because securitization changes Citigroup’s role from that of a lender to that of a loan servicer, it removes the receivables from Citigroup’s balance sheet and affects the amount of revenue and the manner in which revenue and the provision for credit losses are classified in the income statement.  For securitized receivables and receivables held-for-sale, gains are recognized upon sale and amounts that would otherwise be reported as net interest revenue, fee and commission revenue, and credit losses on loans are instead reported as fee and commission revenue (for servicing fees) and other revenue (for the remaining revenue, net of credit losses and the amortization of previously recognized securitization gains).  Because credit losses are a component of these cash flows, revenues over the terms of these transactions may vary depending upon the credit performance of the securitized receivables.  For a further discussion of the securitization of credit card receivables, see page 48.

 

Including the effect of securitizations, managed net credit losses in the 2003 second quarter were $1.887 billion with a related loss ratio of 6.08%, compared to $1.832 billion and 5.86% in the 2003 first quarter and $1.841 billion and 6.23% in the 2002 second quarter.  The increase in the rate from the first quarter of 2003 was primarily due to higher bankruptcy losses, including the impact of seasonality in North America, while the decline from the prior-year quarter reflected improvement in both North America and the international markets, despite higher loss rates in the United Kingdom and Korea.  Loans delinquent 90 days or more on a managed basis were $2.313 billion or 1.88% at June 30, 2003, compared to $2.406 billion or 1.92% at March 31, 2003 and $2.260 billion or 1.86% at June 30, 2002.

Consumer Finance – which provides community-based lending services through branch networks, regional sales offices and cross-selling initiatives with other Citigroup businesses – reported net income of $508 million and $993 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, down $60 million or 11% and $105 million or 10% from the 2002 periods, principally reflecting a decline in International Consumer Finance resulting from continued weakness in Japan that was partially offset by the acquisition of GSB in North America. International results in the 2003 second quarter also included a $94 million release of a tax reserve related to a settlement with tax authorities which increased income in Japan.

As shown in the preceding table, average loans grew 11% compared to the 2002 second quarter resulting from acquisitions, growth in real-estate secured loans, the impact of funding auto loan volumes internally and strengthening currencies in the international markets. Growth in real estate-secured loans mainly reflected the continued cross-selling of products through Primerica as well as portfolio acquisitions in North America and growth in the U.K. Average auto loans for the 2003 second quarter increased $3.2 billion or 41% from 2002, primarily resulting from the addition of $2.0 billion from the acquisition of GSB, as well as a shift in funding policy to fund business volumes internally. In Japan, average loans in the 2003 second quarter declined 3% from the prior-year quarter, as the benefit of foreign currency translation was offset by the impact of charge-offs, reduced loan demand and higher pay-downs.

 

As shown in the following table, the average net interest margin of 9.99% in the 2003 second quarter declined 83 basis points from the 2002 second quarter, reflecting compression in both North America and the international markets, particularly in Japan. In North America, the average net interest margin was 8.36% in the 2003 second quarter, decreasing 9 basis points from the prior-year quarter as the benefit of lower cost of funds was more than offset by lower yields, reflecting the lower interest rate environment and the continued shift to higher-quality credits. The average net interest margin for International Consumer Finance was 15.40% in the 2003 second quarter, declining 277 basis points from the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by Japan.  The compression of net interest margin in Japan reflected a decline in higher-yielding personal loans combined with a change in the treatment of adjustments and refunds of interest and continued high levels of non-performing loans.  Beginning in the second quarter of 2003, adjustments and refunds of interest charged to customer accounts are accounted for as reduction of net interest margin whereas, in prior periods, such amounts were treated as credit costs.  The net interest margin decline in Japan was offset, in part, by margin expansion in Europe which experienced increased yields as well as favorable funding.

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $2.431 billion and $4.963 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, declined $18 million or 1% from the prior-year quarter and increased $182 million or 4% from the prior-year six months.  Revenue in North America increased 7% from both the second quarter and six months of 2002 and was primarily driven by growth in receivables that included the addition of the GSB auto portfolio, partially offset by declines in insurance revenue and net interest margin. Revenue in International Consumer finance declined $125 million or 13% and $34 million or 2% from the 2002 periods mainly due to lower volumes and spreads in Japan partially offset by growth in EMEA and Asia, the benefit of foreign currency translation and, in the six-month comparison, the impact of acquisitions in Japan.

 

Operating expenses of $835 million and $1.700 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, increased $46 million or 6% and $156 million or 10% from the prior-year periods. Operating expenses in North America increased $52 million or 11% and $98 million or 10%, respectively, from the prior-year periods, primarily due to increased volumes, including the acquisition of GSB, and increased credit and collection costs. Operating expenses for International Consumer Finance declined 2% from the prior-year quarter and increased 10% from the prior-year six months. The decline from the prior-year quarter reflected expense savings from branch closings and headcount reductions in Japan, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation, additional costs in Japan attributable to actions taken to restructure the business in response to the continued challenging business environment and, in the six-month comparison, the addition of Taihei and Marufuku.

 

The provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses were $957 million in the 2003 second quarter, up from $930 million in the 2003 first quarter and $775 million in the prior-year second quarter primarily reflecting increases in the provision for credit losses in Japan, due to deteriorating credit conditions, and in North America, resulting from growth in the portfolio, including the impact of acquisitions. Net credit losses and the related loss ratio were $897 million and 4.01% in the 2003 second quarter, compared to $855 million and 3.91% in the 2003 first quarter and $724 million and 3.60% in the 2002 second quarter. In North America, the net credit loss ratio of 2.98% in the 2003 second quarter was down from 3.06% in the 2003 first quarter and 3.10% in the 2002 second quarter.  The net credit loss ratio for International Consumer Finance was 7.43% in the 2003 second quarter, up from 6.69% in the 2003 first quarter and 5.16% in the 2002 second quarter, primarily due to conditions in Japan, including increased bankruptcy losses and deteriorating credit quality.  The net credit loss ratio for International Consumer Finance in the 2003 second quarter was reduced by 62 basis points as a result of the change in treatment of adjustments and refunds as discussed above.  Loans delinquent 90 days or more

were $2.182 billion or 2.41% of loans at June 30, 2003, compared to $2.183 billion or 2.45% at March 31, 2003 and $2.166 billion or 2.62% a year ago. The decrease in the delinquency ratio versus the prior year and prior quarter was mainly due to improvements in North America.

 

In Japan, net credit losses and the related loss ratio are expected to increase from the 2003 second quarter as a result of economic conditions and credit performance of the unsecured loan portfolio, including increased bankruptcy filings.

Retail Banking — which delivers banking, lending, including leasing and equipment financing, investment and insurance services to customers through retail branches, electronic delivery systems and the network of Primerica independent agents — reported net income of $1.049 billion and $2.023 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, up $404 million or 63% and $716 million or 55% from the 2002 periods. The increase in Retail Banking was driven by growth in North America of $307 million or 67% and $543 million or 60% in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of GSB, organic revenue growth and improved credit costs. Net income in International Retail Banking increased $97 million or 52% and $173 million or 43% in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, reflecting growth in Asia, as well as an increase in Latin America due to charges taken in the prior-year periods related to Argentina.

 

As shown in the following table, Retail Banking grew average loans and customer deposits compared to 2002. The growth in North America primarily reflected the acquisition of GSB, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation in Mexico and the run-off of non-core portfolios in CitiCapital. North America also experienced organic growth in customer deposits in Citibanking North America and in average loans in Consumer Assets, primarily due to increased mortgages and student loans. In the international markets, average customer deposits grew 7% from the prior-year quarter driven by the impact of foreign currency translation and growth in Japan. International Retail Banking average loans increased 2% from the prior-year quarter as the impact of foreign currency translation and growth in installment loans in Germany were partially offset by the 2002 third quarter sale of the mortgage portfolio in Japan. Growth in both loans and customer deposits was negatively impacted by volume declines in Latin America.

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $4.243 billion and $8.204 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, increased $834 million or 24% and $1.272 billion or 18% from the 2002 periods. The growth in revenues reflected increases across all regions. Revenues in North America increased $534 million or 22% and $917 million or 19% in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, driven by the acquisition of GSB and growth in Consumer Assets and Mexico. Excluding the acquisition of GSB, growth in North America, excluding Mexico, was driven by higher mortgage securitization income and the benefit of increased loan and deposit volumes, partially offset by lower net funding and positioning spreads in Citibanking North America and lower revenue in CitiCapital resulting from the run-off of non-core portfolios.  In Mexico, revenues benefited from revised estimates of reserves related to certain investments and increased deposit volumes and spreads and were negatively impacted by foreign currency

translation.  North America Retail Banking revenue also benefited from growth in Primerica, which experienced volume-related growth in insurance premiums.  International Retail Banking revenues increased $300 million or 32% and $355 million or 17% in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, reflecting strengthening currencies, growth in Asia and EMEA, and improvement in Latin America. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, increased loan volumes, mainly in Germany, drove growth in EMEA, while Asia benefited from strong investment and insurance products sales.  The improvement in Latin America was due to events in Argentina including lower losses and reserves related to Amparos and government-mandated inflation indexed interest accruals. These improvements were partially offset in the six-month comparison by a benefit in the prior year resulting from a change in the allocation of re-denomination losses among products based on the pesification decree issued by the Argentine government in February 2002.

 

Operating expenses in the 2003 second quarter and six months increased $331 million or 17% and $491 million or 13%, respectively, from the comparable 2002 periods. In North America, growth of $243 million or 19% and $331 million or 12% from the 2002 second quarter and six months, respectively, was primarily due to the addition of GSB and volume-related increases in Consumer Assets, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation in Mexico.  International Retail Banking operating expenses increased $88 million or 15% and $160 million or 13% from the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, mainly reflecting the impact of foreign currency translation, volume-related increases, costs (including severance) attributable to business repositioning in Latin America and, in the six-month comparison, costs associated with the consolidation of certain back office operations in Europe.

 

The provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses were $429 million and $848 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months, down from $485 million and $1.020 billion in the prior-year periods, reflecting a lower provision for credit losses. The decline in the provision for credit loss from the prior-year second quarter was primarily due to lower credit costs in CitiCapital and Mexico, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation and an addition to the allowance for credit losses in Germany. The six-month comparison also reflected a $101 million addition to the allowance for credit losses in the first quarter of 2002 related to Argentina. Net credit losses (excluding Commercial Markets) were $165 million and the related loss ratio was 0.58% in the 2003 second quarter, compared to $120 million and 0.42% in the 2003 first quarter and $172 million and 0.79% in the prior-year second quarter.  The increase in credit losses from the 2003 first quarter was mainly driven by higher bankruptcies in Germany. The decrease in the net credit loss ratio from the prior-year second quarter was primarily due to a reduction of losses in Argentina, higher recoveries in Mexico, and the addition of the GSB portfolio which is predominantly real estate secured loans. Commercial Markets net credit losses were $139 million and the related loss ratio was 1.30% in the 2003 second quarter, compared to $179 million and 1.65% in the 2003 first quarter and $250 million and 2.55% in the prior-year second quarter.  The decline from the 2003 first quarter and 2002 second quarter reflected improvement in CitiCapital, Mexico and Citibanking North America.

 

Loans delinquent 90 days or more (excluding Commercial Markets) were $3.706 billion or 3.29% of loans at June 30, 2003, compared to $3.644 billion or 3.18% at March 31, 2003, and $3.037 billion or 3.46% a year ago. Compared to a year ago, the increase in delinquent loans was primarily due to increases in Consumer Assets and Germany, including the impact of foreign currency translation, and was partially offset by declines in Mexico and Asia, mainly in Taiwan. The increase in Consumer Assets reflected the addition of GSB and a higher level of buy backs from GNMA pools where credit risk is maintained by government agencies. The decline in Mexico reflected improvement in the mortgage portfolio as well as the impact of foreign currency translation.

 

Cash-basis loans in Commercial Markets were $1.165 billion or 2.76% of loans at June 30, 2003, $1.250 billion or 2.88% at March 31, 2003, and $1.161 billion or 2.95% at June 30, 2002.  Cash-basis loans were essentially unchanged from the prior year and improved slightly from the prior quarter as improved credit and the impact of foreign currency translation in Mexico were essentially offset by increases in CitiCapital where the business continues to work through the liquidation of non-core portfolios.

 

Average assets of $230 billion and $229 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, increased $51 billion from both comparable 2002 periods. The increase in average assets primarily reflected the acquisition of GSB, growth in mortgages and student loans in Consumer Assets, and the impact of foreign currency translation in EMEA.

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

 

GCIB net income of $1.340 billion and $2.739 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months was up $22 million or 2% from the 2002 second quarter, and up $296 million or 12% from the 2002 six months, respectively.  The 2003 second quarter reflects net income growth from the comparable 2002 quarter of $27 million or 2% in Capital Markets and Banking, offset by a decrease of $29 million or 13% in Transaction Services.  The 2003 six months reflects net income growth of $162 million or 7% in Capital Markets and Banking and $79 million or 26% in Transaction Services.  Other Corporate reported net losses of $10 million and $2 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, compared with net losses of $34 million and $57 million in the comparable prior-year periods.

 

The increase in Capital Markets and Banking net income in the 2003 second quarter primarily reflects increases in Fixed Income, partially offset by losses in credit derivatives (which serve as an economic hedge for the loan portfolio) as credit spreads tightened, as well as lower Equities and Investment Banking.  The increase in the 2003 six months also reflects a lower provision for credit losses.  The decrease in Transaction Services net income in the 2003 second quarter reflects lower gains from the sale of equity investments, as well as the continued decline in market capitalizations and interest rates, and a lower level of IPO and debt issuance activity as compared to the prior year, partially offset by gains on early termination of intracompany deposits (which were offset in Capital Markets and Banking).  The increase in the 2003 six months is primarily due to gains on early termination of intracompany deposits (which were offset in Capital Markets and Banking), a lower provision for credit losses and the impact of expense control initiatives.  The decrease in Other Corporate net losses in 2003 is primarily attributable to lower GCIB segment eliminations.

 

The businesses of GCIB are significantly affected by the levels of activity in the global capital markets which, in turn, are influenced by macro-economic and political policies and developments, among other factors, in over 100 countries in which the businesses operate. Global economic and market events can have both positive and negative effects on the revenue performance of the businesses and can affect credit performance. Losses on corporate lending activities and the level of cash-basis loans can vary widely with respect to timing and amount, particularly within any narrowly defined business or loan type.  Credit costs are expected to improve compared to 2002 levels despite continued weak global economic conditions.  This paragraph contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34.

GCIB net income increased in the 2003 second quarter and six months primarily due to an increase in EMEA and Latin America (in the six months), partially offset by decreases in Mexico and North America.  EMEA net income increased $120 million in the 2003 second quarter and $232 million in the 2003 six months primarily due to improved business volumes and increases in Fixed Income.

The increase in Latin America of $258 million in the 2003 six months was mainly due to prior-year charges in Argentina.  North America (excluding Mexico) decreased $50 million in the 2003 second quarter and $85 million in the 2003 six months primarily reflecting lower deal volume, tighter trading spreads in equity products and losses in the credit derivative economic hedge program in the 2003 second quarter, partially offset by increases in Fixed Income.  Mexico net income decreased $26 million in the 2003 second quarter due to a higher provision for credit losses, and decreased $100 million in the 2003 six months primarily due to strong 2002 trading revenues.

Capital Markets and Banking delivers a full range of global financial services and products including investment banking, institutional brokerage, advisory services, foreign exchange, structured products, derivatives and loans.

 

Capital Markets and Banking net income of $1.163 billion in the 2003 second quarter increased $27 million or 2% from 2002, primarily due to increases in Fixed Income.  Net income was $2.357 billion in the 2003 six months, up $162 million or 7% from 2002, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses and increases in Fixed Income. The 2002 six months were negatively impacted by Latin America, primarily Argentina.

 

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $4.531 billion and $8.711 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months increased $312 million or 7% from the 2002 second quarter and  $114 million or 1% from the 2002 six months, respectively.  Revenue growth in the 2003 periods was driven by Fixed Income trading and originations, as companies have continued to take advantage of the low interest rate environment, partially offset by declines in Advisory and Equities.  The increase in Fixed Income was partially offset by losses in credit derivatives (which serve as an economic hedge for the loan portfolio) as credit spreads tightened.  The declines in Equities primarily reflects lower derivatives and lower listed and NASDAQ trading revenues, partially offset by higher underwriting volumes.  The increase in the 2003 six months also reflects redenomination losses in Argentina in the prior-year period.

 

Operating expenses of $2.546 billion and $4.900 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months increased $324 million or 15% from the 2002 second quarter and $403 million or 9% from the 2002 six months, respectively.  The increase in operating expenses in 2003 reflects increased incentive compensation expense primarily related to Fixed Income performance, costs associated with the repositioning of the Company’s business in Latin America, primarily severance-related and higher legal fees.

 

The provision for credit losses was $286 million in the 2003 second quarter, an increase of $24 million from the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting deterioration in power and energy industry exposures.  The provision for credit losses of $393 million in the 2003 six months decreased $368 million from the 2002 six months, primarily reflecting prior-year provisions for Argentina and the telecommunications industry.

 

Cash-basis loans were $3.691 billion at June 30, 2003, $3.543 billion at March 31, 2003, $3.423 billion at December 31, 2002, and $3.201 billion at June 30, 2002.  Cash-basis loans increased $490 million from June 30, 2002, primarily due to increases in the power and energy industry, as well as corporate borrowers in Brazil, Hong Kong, Australia, Mexico and Singapore.  Cash-basis loans increased $148 million from March 31, 2003, primarily reflecting increases in the power and energy industry, as well as corporate borrowers in Singapore, Australia and Brazil.

Transaction Services – which provides cash management, trade finance, custody, clearing and depository services globally – reported net income of $187 million in the 2003 second quarter, down $29 million or 13% from the 2002 second quarter.  The decrease in the 2003 second quarter reflects lower gains from the sale of equity investments, as well as lower fees on assets under custody, a decline in interest rates and a lower level of issuance activity as compared to the prior year, partially offset by gains on early termination of intracompany deposits (which were offset in Capital Markets and Banking).  Net income in the 2003 six months increased $79 million or 26% from 2002, primarily due to gains on early termination of intracompany deposits (which were offset in Capital Markets and Banking), lower provision for credit losses and the impact of expense control initiatives.

 

As shown in the following table, average liability balances of $96 billion grew 14% compared to the 2002 second quarter primarily due to increases in Europe and Asia.  Assets under custody reached $5.6 trillion, a 4% increase compared to the prior year.

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $908 million in the 2003 second quarter decreased $54 million or 6% from the 2002 second quarter, due to lower gains from the sale of equity investments, lower interest rates versus 2002, a decline in market capitalizations, and lower issuance activity.  Revenues, net of interest expense, of $1.821 billion in the 2003 six months were essentially unchanged from the 2002 six months, as declines in the 2003 second quarter were offset by gains on the early termination of intracompany deposits (which were offset in Capital Markets and Banking) and a benefit from foreign exchange currency translation in the 2003 six-month period.

 

Operating expenses of $634 million in the 2003 second quarter were held to a $4 million or 1% increase, primarily reflecting costs associated with the repositioning of the Company’s business in Latin America, primarily severance-related, partially offset by staff reductions and continued efficiency gains.  Operating expenses of $1.259 billion in the 2003 six months decreased $24 million or 2% from the 2002 six months, primarily reflecting expense control initiatives, including prior-period staff reductions, reduced technology spending and absence of asset write-offs, as well as operational efficiency improvements resulting from prior-year investments in Internet initiatives.

 

The provision for credit losses of $12 million in the 2003 second quarter increased by $9 million from the 2002 second quarter reflecting higher trade write-offs in Latin America. The provision for credit losses of $21 million in the 2003 six months decreased by $51 million from the 2002 six months, primarily reflecting prior-year write-offs in Argentina, partially offset by 2003 provisions in Brazil.

 

Cash-basis loans, which in the Transaction Services business are primarily trade finance receivables, were $513 million at June 30, 2003, $539 million at March 31, 2003, $572 million at December 31, 2002 and $639 million at June 30, 2002.  Cash-basis loans were down $26 million from March 31, 2003 and $126 million from June 30, 2002, primarily due to trade finance receivables in Argentina.

Other Corporate – which includes intra-GCIB segment eliminations, certain one-time non-recurring items and tax amounts not allocated to GCIB products – reported a net loss of $10 million and $2 million for the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively, compared to a net loss of $34 million and $57 million in the 2002 second quarter and six months.  The decrease in Other Corporate net losses in 2003 is primarily attributable to lower GCIB segment eliminations, which impacted revenues and operating expenses.

Private Client Services provides investment advice, financial planning and brokerage services, primarily through the network of Smith Barney Financial Consultants.  In addition, Private Client Services provides independent client-focused research to individuals and institutions around the world.

 

Private Client Services net income was $181 million in the 2003 second quarter and $338 million in the 2003 six months, down $42 million or 19% and $102 million or 23%, respectively, from the comparable 2002 periods. The second quarter decline compared to 2002 primarily reflects lower asset-based fee revenue, a decline in net interest revenue from securities-based lending, partially offset by an increase in transaction volumes, lower production-related compensation, and the impact of continued expense control initiatives. The decline compared to the 2002 six months was primarily due to lower asset-based fee revenue along with lower transactional volumes.

 

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $1.449 billion in the 2003 second quarter and $2.776 billion in the 2003 six months decreased $102 million or 7% and $282 million or 9%, respectively. The decline compared to the 2002 second quarter primarily reflects declines in fees from managed accounts, lower net interest revenue on security-based lending, partially offset by higher commissions and other transactional revenue. The decline compared to the 2002 six months was primarily due to lower asset-based fee revenue along with lower transactional volumes.

 

Total assets under fee-based management were $182 billion as of June 30, 2003, up $11 billion or 6% from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to an increase in market values and positive net flows.  Total client assets, including assets under fee-based management, of $959 billion at June 30, 2003, an increase of $27 billion or 3% compared to the prior-year quarter principally due to market appreciation and positive net flows.  Net flows were $9 billion in the 2003 second quarter, maintaining the same level as the prior-year period.  Private Client Services had 12,317 financial consultants as of June 30, 2003, compared with 12,808 as of June 30, 2002. Annualized revenue per financial consultant of $467 thousand declined 3% from the prior-year quarter.

 

Operating expenses of $1.156 billion in the 2003 second quarter and $2.228 billion in the 2003 six months, decreased $42 million or 4% and $135 million or 6%, respectively, primarily reflecting lower production-related compensation resulting from a decline in revenue combined with the impact of expense control initiatives.  The majority of expenses for Global Equity Research are allocated to the Global Equities business within GCIB and Private Client Services businesses.

Global Investment Management is comprised of Life Insurance and Annuities, Private Bank and Asset Management.  These businesses offer a broad range of life insurance, annuity, asset management and personalized wealth management products and services distributed to institutional, high-net-worth and retail clients.

 

Global Investment Management net income of $432 million in the 2003 second quarter and $898 million in the 2003 six months increased $61 million or 16% and $103 million or 13% from the comparable 2002 periods.  Life Insurance and Annuities net income of $190 million in the 2003 second quarter and $426 million in the 2003 six months, which includes realized insurance investment portfolio gains/(losses), increased $53 million or 39% and $75 million or 21% from the comparable 2002 periods.  The increase in income of $53 million in the 2003 second quarter primarily resulted from lower net realized insurance investment portfolio losses of $117 million, partially offset by lower TLA results of $32 million and lower IIM results of $32 million.  The lower net realized insurance investment portfolio losses primarily resulted from the absence of 2002 second quarter impairments related to WorldCom of $128 million.  The decline in TLA primarily resulted from higher Deferred Acquisition Cost (DAC) amortization and reduced investment yields, partially offset by increased business volumes.  The decline in IIM primarily resulted from the absence of a 2002 second quarter Amparos reserve release in Latin America, and lower results in Mexico and Asia.

 

The increase in income of $75 million in the 2003 six-month period reflects lower net realized insurance investment portfolio losses of $105 million, partially offset by lower IIM results of $21 million and lower TLA results of $9 million.  The decline in realized losses primarily related to the 2002 second quarter WorldCom impairments, while the lower IIM results primarily related to declines in Latin America. The 2003 six-month period included a $39 million tax benefit related to an adjustment to the Dividend Received Deduction (DRD) in TLA.

 

Private Bank net income was $138 million in the 2003 second quarter and $263 million in the 2003 six months, up $25 million or 22% and $39 million or 17% from the comparable 2002 periods, primarily resulting from increased client trading and lending revenues, partially offset by increased expenses including higher employee-related costs.  Asset Management net income was $104 million in the 2003 second quarter and $209 million in the 2003 six months, a decline of $17 million or 14% and $11 million or 5% from the comparable 2002 periods.  The decrease in net income in Asset Management primarily reflects the impact of negative market action and reduced fee revenues, partially offset by the cumulative impact of positive net flows and lower expenses.

Global Investment Management net income increased $61 million in the 2003 second quarter and $103 million in the 2003 six months from the comparable 2002 periods.  The $61 million increase in the 2003 second quarter was primarily driven by increases in North America of $81 million and Asia of $9 million, partially offset by a decrease in Latin America of $26 million.  The $81 million increase in North America primarily reflects lower net realized insurance investment portfolio losses of $117 million, which included 2002 second quarter WorldCom impairments of $128 million, partially offset by the decline in TLA of $32 million.  The increase in Asia of $9 million primarily reflects increased Private Bank client trading revenues, while the decrease in Latin America of $26 million primarily reflects the absence of the 2002 Amparos reserve release.

 

26



 

The $103 million increase in the 2003 six-month period primarily reflects increases in North America of $80 million, Mexico of $16 million and Asia of $12 million.  The $80 million increase in North America reflects lower realized insurance portfolio losses of $105 million, partially offset by declines in Asset Management of $27 million and TLA of $9 million, both primarily resulting from weakness in capital markets.  The $16 million increase in Mexico’s net income and the $12 million increase in Asia, was primarily driven by a $12 million and $8 million increase, respectively, in the Private Bank, primarily resulting from higher client trading revenues.

(1)          Net income from Continuing Operations before Realized Insurance Investment Portfolio Gains/(Losses) is a non-GAAP measure.  The Company believes that this presentation of income, which management uses internally to measure performance, is useful to investors because it enhances the understanding of ongoing operations and the underlying trends of the business.  The timing of realized insurance investment portfolio gains and losses can be significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and therefore management believes it is important to understand the impact of realized investment gains and losses in order to evaluate current operating trends.

 

Life Insurance and Annuities comprises Travelers Life and Annuity (TLA) and International Insurance Manufacturing (IIM). TLA offers individual annuity, group annuity, individual life insurance and Corporate Owned Life Insurance (COLI) products.  IIM provides annuities, credit, life, health, disability and other insurance products internationally, leveraging the existing distribution channels of the Consumer Finance, Retail Banking and Asset Management (retirement services) businesses.  IIM primarily has operations in Mexico, EMEA, Latin America, Asia and Japan.

 

Net income including realized insurance investment portfolio gains/(losses) was $190 million and $426 million in the 2003 second quarter and six month periods, respectively, an increase of $53 million or 39% and $75 million or 21% from the comparable periods of 2002. The $53 million increase from the 2002 second quarter reflects an increase of $85 million in TLA, partially offset by a decrease of $32 million in IIM. The $75 million increase from the 2002 six months reflects an increase of $96 million in TLA, partially offset by a decrease of $21 million in IIM.  TLA’s net income included net realized insurance investment portfolio losses of $1 million and $3 million in the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods, respectively, and $118 million and $108 million in the 2002 second quarter and six-month periods, respectively.  The decrease in net realized insurance investment portfolio losses versus the comparable 2002 periods primarily represents impairments relating to WorldCom investments taken in the 2002 second quarter of $128 million.

 

Net income before realized insurance investment portfolio gains/(losses) was $191 million and $429 million in the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods, respectively, and $255 million and $459 million in the 2002 second quarter and six-month periods, respectively.  TLA’s net income before realized insurance investment portfolio gains/(losses) was $174 million and $397 million in the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods, respectively, a decrease of $32 million or 16% and $9 million or 2% from the comparable 2002 periods.  The $32 million decrease in the 2003 second quarter resulted from higher Deferred Acquisition Cost (DAC) amortization of $15 million, the impact of reduced investment yields and the absence of prior-year one-time adjustments, partially offset by higher business volumes and fees.  The $9 million decrease in the six-month period reflects higher DAC amortization of $44 million and reduced investment yields, partially offset by a $39 million tax benefit related to an adjustment to the Dividend Received Deduction (DRD) and higher business volumes and fees.

 

IIM’s net income before realized insurance investment portfolio gains/(losses) of $17 million and $32 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months decreased $32 million or 65% and $21 million or 40% from the comparable 2002 periods. The $32 million decrease in the 2003 second quarter primarily resulted from lower Latin America results of $25 million, lower Asia results of $3 million and lower Mexico results of $3 million.  The Latin America decline primarily resulted from a 2002 second quarter Amparos reserve release.  The $21 million decline in the six-month period reflects lower Latin America results of $22 million, primarily resulting from 2002 first quarter one-time items, including the impact of a benefits and claims reserve release of $6 million and foreign exchange gains on U.S. dollar-denominated investments of $11 million.

 

TLA’s investment income was $648 million and $1.309 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, an increase of $10 million or 2% and $52 million or 4%, respectively, from the 2002 second quarter and six-month periods.  Investment yields continued to deteriorate in the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods to 6.42% and 6.60%, respectively, from already depressed 2002 levels of

 

27



 

7.12% in both prior-year periods.  Fixed income investments suffered from the lower rate environment and credit issues.  Equity investment returns increased in both the quarter and year-to-date periods compared to the comparable prior-year periods as a result of risk arbitrage activity.  The lower investment yields were more than offset by the impact of higher business volumes, which resulted in a larger invested asset base.

 

During the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods, Life Insurance and Annuities operating expenses of $184 million and $363 million increased $72 million or 64% and $159 million or 78%, respectively, from the comparable 2002 periods. TLA’s expenses increased $39 million and $97 million in the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods from the comparable 2002 periods, primarily resulting from a $23 million and $67 million increase in DAC amortization, respectively.  The six-month period variance included a one-time decrease in DAC amortization of $22 million in the 2002 first quarter related to changes in the underlying lapse and interest rate assumptions in the individual annuity business.  The remaining increase in DAC amortization expense was largely due to a higher amortization rate implemented in the 2002 fourth quarter resulting from the decrease in market values of individual annuity account balances.  IIM’s expenses increased $33 million and $62 million in the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods from the comparable 2002 periods, primarily relating to a change in the presentation of certain fee-sharing arrangements with various Global Consumer businesses.  This change in presentation increased both revenues and expenses by $26 million and $51 million in the 2003 second quarter and six-month periods, respectively.

 

Travelers Life and Annuity

 

The majority of the annuity business and a substantial portion of the life business written by TLA are accounted for as investment contracts, such that the premiums are considered deposits and are not included in revenues.  The following table shows net written premiums and deposits by product line:

Individual annuity net written premiums and deposits were $1.149 billion and $2.121 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, a decrease of 25% and 31%, respectively, from the comparable 2002 periods.  The decrease was driven by declines in fixed annuity sales due to competitive pressures and in variable annuity sales due to current equity market conditions.  Individual annuity account balances and benefit reserves were $30.7 billion at June 30, 2003, an increase of $1.5 billion or 5% from the 2002 second quarter.  The $1.5 billion increase reflects net sales of $1.3 billion, interest credited of $0.5 billion and increased market appreciation of $0.2 billion, including $2.1 billion in the 2003 second quarter, partially offset by benefits, fees and other items of $0.5 billion.  Net sales of $1.3 billion over the previous twelve months partially resulted from good in-force retention.

 

Group annuity net written premiums and deposits (excluding the Company’s employee pension plan deposits) were $1.361 billion and $3.472 billion in the 2003 second quarter and six months, a decrease of 42% and 10%, respectively, from the comparable 2002 periods. These decreases reflect lower variable Guaranteed Investment Contract (GIC) sales in both periods and decreased fixed GIC sales in the 2003 second quarter.  The decline in variable GICs primarily relates to market conditions, while the decline in fixed GICs in the 2003 second quarter primarily relates to the absence in 2003 of significant European Medium Term Note (EMTN) transactions. The 2003 second quarter and six month decreases in group annuity net written premiums and deposits were partially offset by strong structured settlement sales in both periods and an $800 million fixed GIC sale to a customer in the 2003 first quarter. Group annuity account balances and benefit reserves reached $23.6 billion in the 2003 second quarter, an increase of $1.1 billion or 5% from the 2002 second quarter, primarily reflecting the 2003 first quarter fixed GIC production and continued strong retention in all products.

 

Net written premiums and deposits for the life insurance business were $232 million and $460 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months, an increase of $11 million or 5% from the 2002 second quarter and a decrease of $44 million or 9% from the 2002 six months.  The $11 million increase in the 2003 second quarter related to higher single premium sales of $9 million and higher direct periodic premiums and deposits of $8 million partially offset by lower COLI deposits.  The $44 million decrease in the 2003 six month period primarily reflects weaker single premium sales of $18 million, lower direct periodic premiums and deposits of $16 million and lower COLI deposits.  Life insurance in force was $84.5 billion at June 30, 2003, up 6% from $79.6 billion at June 30, 2002.

Private Bank provides personalized wealth management services for high-net-worth clients around the world.  Private Bank net income was $138 million in the 2003 second quarter and $263 million in the 2003 six months, up $25 million or 22% and $39 million or 17% from the 2002 periods, primarily reflecting increased client trading and lending activity, partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense associated with higher revenues, higher technology related costs and an increase in the provision for credit losses.

 

Client business volumes under management, which include custody accounts, assets under fee-based management, deposits, and loans, were $180 billion at the end of the 2003 second quarter, up $17 billion or 10% from $163 billion at the end of the 2002 second quarter.  The increase primarily reflects growth of $5 billion in other (principally custody) accounts and $4 billion in proprietary managed assets (collectively due to the inclusion of Banamex beginning August 2002, which added $8 billion to client business volumes as of June 30, 2003), and an increase of $5 billion in banking and fiduciary deposits and $5 billion in loans.

 

Revenues, net of interest expense, were $519 million in the 2003 second quarter and $980 million in the 2003 six months, up $91 million or 21% and $129 million or 15% from the respective 2002 periods.  The increases reflect higher client trading and lending activity in both the three- and six-month periods, partially offset by the absence of prior-year placement fees in the six-month period.  In the 2003 second quarter and six months, the increased revenues reflect continued favorable trends in North America (including Mexico), up $37 million or 20% and $60 million or 16%, respectively, from the comparable 2002 periods, primarily in lending and client trading activity.  International revenues increased $54 million or 22% from the 2002 second quarter and $69 million or 14% from the 2002 six months, primarily due to growth in Asia of $34 million or 44% and $38 million or 24% (client trading) and Japan of $17 million or 33% and $27 million or 27%, respectively (client trading).

 

Operating expenses of $311 million and $586 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months were up $50 million or 19% and $68 million or 13% from the respective 2002 periods, primarily reflecting increased incentive compensation associated with higher revenues, and increased technology related costs.  In the 2003 second quarter and six months, the increased expenses reflect the increase in revenues in North America (including Mexico), with expenses up $14 million or 16% and $24 million or 14%, respectively, from the comparable 2002 periods, driven by higher incentive compensation, severance and technology related costs.  International expenses increased $36 million or 21% from the 2002 second quarter and $44 million or 13% from the 2002 six months, primarily due to growth in Asia of $18 million or 40% and $25 million or 28%, respectively (employee related costs including incentive compensation), and Japan of $8 million or 28% and $15 million or 26%, respectively (incentive compensation).

 

The provision for credit losses was $6 million and $10 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months, up $6 million and $4 million from the respective 2002 periods.  The increase primarily reflects higher write-offs in Japan and an increase in the loan loss reserve in Mexico during the 2003 second quarter.  The 2003 six-month period was partially offset by lower write-offs in EMEA.  Net credit losses in the 2003 second quarter remained at a nominal level of 0.05% of average loans outstanding.  Loans 90 days or more past due as of June 30, 2003 were $140 million or 0.42% of total loans outstanding, compared with $193 million or 0.67% as of June 30, 2002.  The decline of $53 million primarily reflects decreases in EMEA.

 

Average assets of $38 billion in the 2003 second quarter increased $9 billion or 31% from $29 billion in the 2002 second quarter.  The increase from the prior-year period was primarily related to increased lending activity (higher mortgage financing and re-financing, tailored loans and margin lending) and the consolidation of a previously unconsolidated entity due to changes in the contractual relationship with this entity.

(1)          Includes $31 billion and $28 billion in 2003 and 2002, respectively, for Private Bank clients.

(2)          Includes $40 billion in 2003 of Travelers Property and Casualty Corp. assets which Asset Management manages on a third-party basis following the spin-off.

 

Asset Management includes Citigroup Asset Management (CAM), Citigroup Alternative Investments (CAI) Institutional business, Banamex asset management and retirement services businesses and Citigroup’s other retirement services businesses in North America and Latin America. These businesses offer institutional, high-net-worth and retail clients a broad range of investment alternatives from investment centers located around the world. Products and services offered include mutual funds, closed-end funds, separately managed accounts, unit investment trusts, alternative investments (including hedge funds, private equity and credit structures), variable annuities through affiliated and third-party insurance companies and pension administration services.

 

Net income of $104 million and $209 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months was down $17 million or 14% and $11 million or 5% from the respective 2002 periods, primarily reflecting the impact of negative market action and reduced fee revenues due to changes in product mix and revenue sharing arrangements with internal Citigroup distributors.  Partially offsetting these decreases was the cumulative impact of positive net flows and continued expense management.  The 2003 second quarter and six-month period decline includes the absence of prior-year charges related to Argentina.

 

Assets under management for the 2003 second quarter were $493 billion, an increase of $53 billion or 12% from the 2002 second quarter.  The increase primarily reflects the addition of $40 billion in assets from Travelers Property and Casualty Corp. (TPC) which Asset Management manages on a third-party basis following the August 20, 2002 distribution, positive net flows (excluding U.S. Retail Money Market funds) of $12 billion, positive market action of $5 billion in CAM and an increase in the CAI Institutional business of $3 billion. These increases were partially offset by net outflows of U.S. Retail Money Market funds of $8 billion, which includes the transfer of assets to the Smith Barney Bank Deposit Program. Retail/Private Bank client assets were $217 billion as of June 30, 2003, down 2% compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to net outflows of U.S. Retail Money Market funds, partially offset by positive net flows. Institutional client assets of $173 billion as of June 30, 2003 were up 7% compared to the prior- year period, reflecting long-term product flows and the impact of positive market action.  Retirement Services assets were $12 billion as of June 30, 2003, up $2 billion or 21% from the prior-year period.  Other assets under management of $91 billion as of June 30, 2003 were up $43 billion from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the $40 billion of TPC’s assets.

 

Sales of proprietary mutual funds and managed account products at Private Client Services in the 2003 second quarter and six months declined 38% and 43% from the respective 2002 periods to $4.0 billion and $7.7 billion.  The decreases were primarily driven by weakness in equity markets and declines in managed account products, and represented 26% and 29% of Private Client Services’ retail channel sales in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively.  Sales of mutual and money funds through Global Consumer’s banking network (excluding Mexico) in the 2003 second quarter and six months decreased 7% and 11% from the respective 2002 periods to $2.1 billion and $4.0 billion. These sales through Global Consumer’s banking network (excluding Mexico) represented 33% and 34% of total sales, including $1.3 billion and $2.5 billion in International and $0.8 billion and $1.5 billion in the U.S. in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively.  Of the $0.8 billion in the 2003 second quarter, Primerica sold $0.5 billion of proprietary U.S. mutual and money funds, representing 73% of Primerica’s total fund sales, compared to 74% in the prior-year period.  Of the $1.5 billion in the 2003 six months, Primerica sold $0.9 billion of proprietary U.S. mutual and money funds, representing 73% of Primerica’s total fund sales, compared to 72% in the prior-year period.  Institutional long-term product sales of $10.0 billion in the 2003 second quarter increased 31% from the prior-year period primarily due to increased sales through a Japanese sub-advisor and market conditions, and include $7.2 billion of sales to GCIB clients.  Institutional long-term product sales of $15.7 billion in the 2003 six months was flat to the prior-year period, and includes $11.2 billion of sales to GCIB clients.

 

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $411 million and $811 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months decreased $64 million or 13% and $134 million or 14% from the respective 2002 periods.  The decrease was primarily due to the impact of negative market action, reduced fee revenues, the impact of increased insurance costs on fees earned in a Latin America Retirement Services business and the impact of outflows of U.S. Retail Money Market funds, partially offset by the cumulative impact of positive net flows and the absence of a prior-year pesification loss in Argentina.  The reduced fee revenues primarily resulted from changes in product mix and revenue sharing arrangements with internal Citigroup distributors, and a change in the presentation of certain fee sharing arrangements which decreased both revenues and expenses by $11 million and $20 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months, respectively.

 

30



 

The 2003 six-month period was additionally negatively impacted by foreign currency translation in Argentina and Mexico, partially offset by significant peso devaluations in Argentina in the 2002 first quarter.

 

Operating expenses of $264 million and $518 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months were down $34 million or 11% and $98 million or 16% from the respective 2002 periods, primarily reflecting continued expense management, including a decline in incentive compensation and the change in presentation of certain fee sharing arrangements.  The 2003 six-month period was additionally negatively impacted by foreign currency translation in Argentina and Mexico, as well as the absence of 2002 first quarter restructuring charges in Argentina (Latin America Retirement Services).

Proprietary Investment Activities is comprised of Citigroup’s proprietary Private Equity investments, including venture capital activities and Other Investment Activities which includes Citigroup’s proprietary investments in hedge funds and real estate investments, investments in countries that refinanced debt under the 1989 Brady Plan or plans of a similar nature, ownership of TPC shares and Citigroup’s Alternative Investments (CAI) business, for which the net profits on products distributed through Citigroup’s Asset Management, Private Client Services and Private Bank businesses are reflected in the respective distributor’s income statement through net revenues.

 

Revenues, net of interest expense, in the 2003 second quarter of $168 million increased $217 million from the 2002 second quarter, reflecting higher Private Equity revenues of $160 million, primarily from higher net mark-to-market and realized gains and higher Other Investment Activities revenues of $57 million, primarily related to CAI, partially offset by higher net impairment write-downs in Private Equity.  Operating expenses of $91 million in the 2003 second quarter increased $43 million from the 2002 second quarter primarily reflecting increased expenses in CAI of $28 million and in Private Equity of $15 million.  The increase in CAI results from the impact of CAI’s contract with TPC, whereby CAI manages TPC’s investments following the August 20, 2002 distribution, as well as business growth.  Minority interest, after-tax, of $17 million in the 2003 second quarter increased $8 million from the prior-year period primarily due to the net impact of majority-owned hedge funds established in late 2002.

 

For the 2003 six months, revenues, net of interest expense, of $262 million increased $200 million from the 2002 six-month period, primarily reflecting higher Other Investment Activities revenues of $107 million, including higher CAI results, higher Hedge Fund results and dividends on the TPC share investment, and higher Private Equity results of $93 million, including lower funding costs, higher net realized gains and higher fee/dividend income.  Operating expenses of $169 million in the 2003 six-month period increased $69 million from the 2002 six-month period primarily reflecting increased expenses in CAI of $54 million, relating to the TPC Contract and business growth, and in Private Equity of $14 million, primarily relating to higher variable costs associated with increased transaction volumes. Minority interest, after-tax, of $25 million in the 2003 six-month period increased $17 million from the comparable 2002 period primarily due to the net impact of majority-owned hedge funds established in late 2002.

 

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on investments in fixed maturity and equity securities.

 

The following sections contain information concerning revenues, net of interest expense, for the two main investment classifications of Proprietary Investment Activities:

 

Private Equity includes equity and mezzanine debt financing on both a direct and indirect basis to companies primarily located in the United States and Western Europe, investments in companies located in developing economies with a private equity focus, the investment portfolio related to the Banamex acquisition in August 2001 and CVC/Opportunity Equity Partners, LP (Opportunity).  Opportunity is a third-party managed fund through which Citigroup co-invests in companies that were privatized by the government of Brazil in the mid-1990s.

 

As of June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, Private Equity included assets of $6.218 billion and $6.841 billion, respectively, with the portfolio primarily invested in industrial, consumer goods, communication and technology companies.  The decline in assets reflects the impacts of sales, lower net mark-to-market valuations and impairment write-downs.

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $71 million in the 2003 second quarter increased $160 million from the 2002 second quarter primarily relating to higher net public mark-to-market gains of $220 million, higher net realized gains on sales of investments of $47 million and higher other revenues of $42 million (lower funding costs and higher fees/dividends), partially offset by higher impairment write-downs of $149 million, primarily related to the write-down of a Latin American fund.  The 2002 second quarter included impairments on investments related to Argentina of $53 million.

 

For the 2003 six months, revenues, net of interest expense, of $81 million increased $93 million from the 2002 six-month period primarily relating to higher other revenues of $67 million (lower funding costs and higher fees/dividends) and higher net realized gains on sales of investments of $21 million.

 

Other Investment Activities includes CAI, various proprietary investments, including Citigroup’s ownership interest in TPC’s outstanding equity securities, certain hedge fund investments and the LDC Debt/Refinancing portfolios. The LDC Debt/Refinancing portfolios include investments in certain countries that refinanced debt under the 1989 Brady Plan or plans of a similar nature and earnings are generally derived from interest and restructuring gains/(losses).

 

As of June 30, 2003, Other Investment Activities included assets of $2.914 billion, including $1.597 billion in TPC shares, $637 million in hedge funds, the majority of which represents money managed for TPC, $511 million in the LDC Debt/ Refinancing portfolios and $169 million in other assets.  As of June 30, 2002, total assets of Other Investment Activities were $1.789 billion, including $809 million in hedge funds, $691 million in the LDC Debt/Refinancing portfolios and $289 million in other assets.

Revenues, net of interest expense, in the 2003 second quarter of $97 million, increased $57 million from the 2002 second quarter, primarily resulting from a $30 million increase in CAI, including revenues related to the TPC contract and business growth, a $21 million increase from improved hedge fund results, primarily resulting from higher mark-to-market valuations on an emerging markets fund and $6 million in revenues from dividends earned on shares of TPC owned by Citigroup.

 

For the 2003 six months, revenues, net of interest expense, of $181 million, increased $107 million from the 2002 six-month period, primarily resulting from a $57 million increase in CAI, a $25 million increase from improved hedge fund results, a $12 million increase in revenues from dividends earned on the TPC shares and a $13 million increase in other revenues.

 

Proprietary Investment Activities results may fluctuate in the future as a result of market and asset-specific factors.  This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34.

Corporate/Other includes net corporate treasury results, corporate expenses, certain intersegment eliminations, the results of discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of accounting change and taxes not allocated to the individual businesses.

 

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $154 million and $285 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months decreased $124 million and $100 million, respectively, from the 2002 periods, primarily due to the impact of lower intersegment eliminations.  The six-month decrease was partially offset by higher net treasury results, primarily from favorable interest rate positioning and lower net funding costs.  The lower net funding costs in the 2003 six-month period were driven by lower interest rates and realized gains on fixed income investments, partially offset by the impact of increased borrowing levels.

 

Operating expenses of $115 million and $343 million in the 2003 second quarter and six months decreased $102 million and $60 million, respectively, from the 2002 periods, primarily due to lower intersegment eliminations, partially offset by increases in certain net unallocated corporate costs including higher employee-related costs. The provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses in both the 2002 second quarter and six-month periods are the result of intersegment eliminations.

 

Discontinued operations in the 2002 second quarter and six months (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) include $255 million and $600 million, respectively, from the operations of TPC.  The 2002 six-month period also includes the gain on the sale of stock of $1.270 billion ($1.061 billion after-tax) as a result of the TPC IPO of 231 million shares of its class A common stock.  The 2002 six-month period cumulative effect of accounting change of $47 million reflects the 2002 first quarter impact of adopting the remaining provisions of SFAS 142 relating to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

MANAGING GLOBAL RISK

 

The Citigroup Risk Management framework recognizes the wide range and diversity of global business activities by balancing strong corporate oversight with defined independent risk management functions at the business level.  The Citigroup Risk Management Framework is described in detail in Citigroup’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

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

 

                  Integration of Business and Risk Management – Risk management is integrated within the business plan and strategy.

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

                  Independent Oversight – Risk limits are approved by both business management and independent risk management.

                  Policies – All risk management policies are clearly and formally documented.

                  Risk Identification and Measurement – All risks are measured using defined methodologies, including stress testing.

                  Limits and Metrics – All risks are managed within a limit framework.

                  Risk Reporting – All risks are comprehensively reported across the organization.

 

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

 

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 obligation.  Credit risk arises in many of the Company’s business activities including lending activities, sales and trading activities, derivatives activities, and 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.

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 Markets, which is included within Retail Banking, includes loans and leases made principally to small and middle market businesses. Commercial Markets loans are 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.  Commercial Markets 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 Markets 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. 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 16 and Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total delinquencies 90 days or more past due (excluding Commercial Markets) in the managed portfolio were $8.341 billion or 2.31% of loans at June 30, 2003, compared to $8.390 billion or 2.31% of loans at March 31, 2003 and $7.656 billion or 2.38% at June 30, 2002.  Total cash-basis loans in Commercial Markets were $1.165 billion or 2.76% of loans at June 30, 2003, compared to $1.250 billion or 2.88% of loans at March 31, 2003 and $1.161 billion or 2.95% of loans at June 30, 2002.  Total managed net credit losses (excluding Commercial Markets) in the 2003 second quarter were $2.953 billion and the related loss ratio was 3.26%, compared to $2.809 billion and 3.14% in the 2003 first quarter and $2.736 billion and 3.48% in the 2002 second quarter.  In Commercial Markets total net credit losses were $139 million and the related loss ratio was 1.30% in the 2003 second quarter, compared to $179 million and 1.65% in the 2003 first quarter and $250 million and 2.55% in the 2002 second quarter.  For a discussion of trends by business, see business discussions on pages 16 — 20 and page 29.

 

Citigroup’s allowance for credit losses of $11.567 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 $7.136 billion at June 30, 2003, $7.070 billion at March 31, 2003 and $6.386 billion at June 30, 2002.  The increase in the allowance for credit losses from a year ago was primarily due to a $452 million addition associated with the acquisition of GSB and a $206 million increase in Citi Cards established in accordance with 2002 Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) guidance related to past due interest and late fees.  The level of the consumer allowance was also impacted by deteriorating credit in the Consumer Finance portfolio in Japan.

 

On balance sheet consumer loans of $327.9 billion increased $39.0 billion or 13% from June 30, 2002.  The increase from a year ago was primarily driven by the addition of GSB loans, mortgage and student loan growth in Consumer Assets, increases in real estate-secured loans in the Private Bank and Consumer Finance and the impact of strengthening currencies in EMEA and Asia.  These increases were partially offset by declines in Japan, CitiCapital and North America Cards. The decline in Japan reflected the 2002 third quarter sale of the Retail Banking mortgage portfolio combined with continued contraction in the Consumer Finance portfolio. Loans in CitiCapital declined as the business continued to work through the liquidation of non-core portfolios. On-balance sheet loans in North America Cards, excluding Mexico, were down $2.7 billion or 7% from a year ago, reflecting the 2003 second quarter sale of $1.7 billion of non-strategic portfolios and increased levels of securitizations.

 

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.  In Japan, net credit losses and the related loss ratio are expected to increase from the 2003 second quarter due to current economic conditions in that country, including rising bankruptcy filings and unemployment rates.  This paragraph contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34.

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.  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.

 

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

Corporate cash-basis loans were $4.204 billion, $4.082 billion, $3.995 billion and $3.840 billion at June 30, 2003, March 31, 2003, December 31, 2002, and June 30, 2002, respectively.  Cash-basis loans increased $364 million from June 30, 2002 due to increases in Capital Markets and Banking, partially offset by decreases in Transaction Services.  The increase in Capital Markets and Banking primarily reflects increases in the power and energy industry, as well as corporate borrowers in Brazil, Hong Kong, Australia, Mexico and Singapore.  Transaction Services decreased primarily due to decreases in trade finance receivables in Argentina.  Cash-basis loans increased $122 million from March 31, 2003 primarily due to increases in Capital Markets and Banking, primarily reflecting increases in the power and energy industry, as well as corporate borrowers in Singapore, Australia, and Brazil.

 

Total corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) was $89 million, $78 million, $75 million and $136 million at June 30, 2003, March 31, 2003, December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively.  The $47 million decrease from June 30, 2002 is primarily due to continued improvements in the North America real estate portfolio, partially offset by increased activity of a joint venture which purchases distressed properties. The $11 million increase from March 31, 2003 is also primarily due to increased activity of the same joint venture.

 

Total corporate loans outstanding at June 30, 2003 were $109 billion as compared to $105 billion at March 31, 2003, $110 billion at December 31, 2002 and $114 billion at June 30, 2002.

 

Total corporate net credit losses of $257 million in the 2003 second quarter decreased $5 million compared to the 2002 second quarter, and increased $58 million compared to the 2003 first quarter, primarily due to Capital Markets and Banking. The $5 million decrease from the 2002 second quarter is primarily due to lower net credit losses in the telecommunications industry and Argentina, partially offset by higher net credit losses in the power and energy industry and various corporate borrowers in Brazil.  The $58 million increase from the 2003 first quarter is primarily due to increased net credit losses in the power and energy industry and Brazil, partially offset by decreases in Argentina.

 

The allowance for credit losses is established by management based upon estimates of probable losses inherent 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, 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.

Citigroup’s allowance for credit losses for loans, leases, lending commitments and letters of credit of $11.734 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 for loans, leases, lending commitments and letters of credit attributed to the corporate portfolio was $4.598 billion at June 30, 2003, compared to $4.546 billion at March 31, 2003, $4.647 billion at December 31, 2002 and $4.161 billion at June 30, 2002.  The allowance attributed to corporate loans, leases and lending commitments as a percentage of corporate loans was 4.07% at June 30, 2003, as compared to 4.15%, 4.07%, and 3.56%, at March 31, 2003, December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively.  The $437 million increase in total corporate reserves from June 30, 2002 primarily reflects additional reserves established as a result of the impact of deterioration in the power and energy industry, partially offset by the utilization of reserves established for Argentina and the telecommunications industry.  The $52 million increase in the total corporate allowance from the 2003 first quarter primarily reflects additional reserves for the power and energy industry, partially offset by the utilization of reserves established for Brazil and Argentina.  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.  Corporate net credit losses and cash-basis loans are expected to improve compared to 2002 levels despite continued weak global economic conditions, sovereign or regulatory actions, and other factors.  This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.  See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34.

 

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 Liquidity and Capital Resources section.  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

 

During the second quarter of 2003, Citigroup implemented a revised market risk management policy for its non-trading portfolios.  Under this policy there is a uniform set of standards for defining, measuring, limiting and reporting of market risk in non-trading portfolios in order to ensure consistency across businesses, stability in methodologies and transparency of risk.

 

Price risk in non-trading portfolios is measured predominantly through Interest Rate Exposure and Factor Sensitivity techniques.  These measurement techniques are supplemented with additional tools, including stress testing and cost-to-close analysis.

 

Business units manage the potential earnings effect of interest rate movements by managing the asset and liability mix, either directly or through the use of derivative financial products. These include interest rate swaps and other derivative instruments that are designated and effective as hedges. The utilization of derivatives is managed in response to changing market conditions as well as to changes in the characteristics and mix of the related assets and liabilities.

 

Interest Rate Exposure is the primary method for measuring price risk in Citigroup’s non-trading portfolios (excluding the Insurance companies).  Interest Rate Exposure measures the pretax earnings impact of specified upward and downward instantaneous parallel 50, 100 and 200 basis point shifts in the individual currency yield curve assuming a static portfolio.  Citigroup generally measures this impact over one-year, five-year, and ten-year time horizons under business-as-usual conditions.  The Interest Rate Exposure is calculated separately for each currency and reflects the repricing gaps in the position as well as option positions, both explicit and embedded.

The following table illustrates the impact to Citigroup’s pretax earnings over a one-year and five-year time horizon from a 100 basis point increase and a 100 basis point decrease in the yield curves applicable to various currencies, the primary scenarios evaluated by senior management.

(1)          Excludes the insurance companies (see below).

(2)          U.S. dollar amounts as of June 30, 2002 were restated to conform to the current period’s presentation, primarily reflecting the adoption of consistent assumptions for the treatment of capital across currencies under a revised Citigroup market risk management policy for non-trading portfolios issued in 2002.  Mexican peso amounts as of March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002 have been restated from a statistical equivalent basis to a 100 basis point change in interest rates.

(3)          Prior-period data for the Euro, Japanese Yen and Pound Sterling under the revised Citigroup market risk management policy is not available.  Earnings-at-risk for these currencies was not material in prior periods.

(4)          Not meaningful. At June 30, 2003, a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would imply negative rates for the Japanese Yen yield curve.

 

As of June 30, 2003, a 100 basis point increase in U.S. dollar interest rates would have a potential negative impact on Citigroup’s pretax earnings over the next 12 months of approximately $461 million and a potential positive impact of $627 million from an interest rate decrease.  The potential discounted impact on pretax earnings over five years is an increase of $1,200 million from an increase in interest rates and a decrease of $935 million from an interest rate decrease.  The change in Interest Rate Exposure from March 31, 2003 primarily reflects Citigroup’s view of prevailing interest rates and the change from the prior year reflects both changes in the asset/liability mix as well as Citigroup’s view of prevailing interest rates.

 

As of June 30, 2003, a 100 basis point increase in Mexican peso interest rates would have a potential positive impact on Citigroup’s pretax earnings over the next 12 months of approximately $6 million and a potential negative impact of $6 million from an interest rate decrease.  The potential discounted impact on pretax earnings over five years is an increase of $83 million from an increase in interest rates and a decrease of $83 million from an interest rate decrease. The change in Interest Rate Exposure from March 31, 2003 reflects a change in the asset and liability mix, while the change from the prior year reflects a change in the asset and liability mix as well as a reduction of interest rate exposure in the balance sheet.

A significant portion of the Insurance companies’ liabilities (e.g., insurance policy and claims reserves) are not financial instruments and are excluded from the above sensitivity analysis.  Corresponding changes in fair value of these accounts, based on the present value of estimated cash flows, would materially mitigate the impact of the net decrease in values implied above.

excludes all financial instruments, including long-term debt, identified with trading activities.  The analysis reflects the estimated gross change in value resulting from a change in interest rates only and is not comparable to the Interest Rate Exposure used for the Citigroup non-trading portfolios or the Value-at-Risk used for the trading portfolios.

 

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 some 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.

 

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.

 

New and/or complex products in trading portfolios are required to be reviewed and approved by the Capital Markets Approval Committee (CMAC).  The CMAC is responsible for ensuring that all 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, as required.

 

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 $91 million at June 30, 2003.  Daily exposures averaged $81 million during the second quarter of 2003 and ranged from $68 million to $104 million.

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 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.

 

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 represents 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Citigroup’s primary source of incremental capital resources is its net earnings.  Other sources include proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred securities, trust preferred securities, senior debt, subordinated debt and commercial paper.  Citigroup can also generate funds by securitizing various financial assets including credit card receivables and other receivables generally secured by collateral such as single-family residences and automobiles, or monetizing investment securities.

 

Citigroup uses these capital resources to pay dividends to its stockholders, to repurchase its shares in the market pursuant to Board-of-Directors approved plans, to support organic growth, to make acquisitions and to service its debt obligations.

 

As a financial holding company, substantially all of Citigroup’s net earnings are generated within its operating subsidiaries including Citibank, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGMI), CitiFinancial, and Travelers Insurance Company (TIC).  Each of these subsidiaries makes these funds available to Citigroup in the form of dividends.  The subsidiaries’ dividend paying abilities are limited by certain covenant restrictions in credit agreements and/or by regulatory requirements.  Certain of these subsidiaries are also subject to rating agency requirements that also impact their capitalization levels.

 

During 2003, 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 34.

 

Under its long-standing repurchase program, the Company buys back shares in the market from time to time.  At June 30, 2003, there was $3.6 billion remaining under the authorized program.

(1)          All repurchases were transacted through Smith Barney, which is included within the Private Client Services segment.

 

On July 14, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 75% increase in the quarterly dividend on the Company’s common stock to 35 cents a share from 20 cents a share. The increase in the quarterly dividend is part of an effort to reallocate capital to dividends and reduce share repurchases.  Additionally, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) for holders of Citigroup common stock. Registered holders of Citigroup common stock may elect to participate in the Plan and have some or all of their dividends reinvested in Citigroup common stock.

 

Citigroup, Citicorp and certain other subsidiaries issue commercial paper directly to investors.  Citigroup and Citicorp, both of which are bank holding companies, maintain combined liquidity reserves of cash, securities and unused bank lines of credit to support their combined outstanding commercial paper.  Citigroup maintains sufficient liquidity at the Parent Company to meet all maturing unsecured debt obligations due within a one-year time horizon without incremental access to the unsecured markets.

 

Citigroup has unutilized bilateral committed revolving credit facilities in the amount of $3.8 billion that expire on various dates in 2003 and 2004.  Under these facilities, Citigroup is required to maintain a certain level of consolidated stockholders’ equity (as defined in the agreements).  Citigroup exceeded this requirement by approximately $68.3 billion at June 30, 2003.

 

Associates First Capital Corporation (Associates), a subsidiary of Citicorp, had a combination of unutilized credit facilities of $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2003 which have maturities ranging from 2003 to 2005.  All of these facilities are guaranteed by Citicorp.  In connection with the facilities, Citicorp is required to maintain a certain level of consolidated stockholder’s equity (as defined in the agreements).  At June 30, 2003, this requirement was exceeded by approximately $61.1 billion.  Citicorp has also guaranteed various debt obligations of Associates and CitiFinancial Credit Company (CCC), indirect subsidiaries of Citicorp.

 

Borrowings under bank lines of credit may be at interest rates based on LIBOR, CD rates, the prime rate, or bids submitted by the banks.  Each company pays its banks facility fees for its lines of credit.

 

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.

 

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 comprised of Citigroup’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Corporate Treasurer, independent Senior Treasury Risk Officer, Head of Risk Architecture and the senior corporate and business treasurers and business chief financial officers.  One objective of the Global ALCO is to monitor and review the overall liquidity and balance sheet position 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 major operating subsidiary and/or country must prepare an annual funding and liquidity plan for review by the Corporate Treasurer and approval by the independent Senior Treasury Risk Officer.  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.

 

46



 

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, the experience level of local management, the 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 bank entities these include measures of liquid assets against liquidity gaps, core deposits to loans, long-term assets to long-term liabilities and deposits to loans.  In addition, several measures exist to review potential concentrations of funding by individual name, product, industry, or geography.  For the Parent Company, Insurance Entities and the Broker/Dealer, there are ratios established for liquid assets against short-term obligations.  Triggers to elicit management discussion 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 Senior Treasury Risk Officer 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.

 

Periodic liquidity stress testing is 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 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.

 

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 Company and its major operating subsidiaries includes a large geographically diverse retail and corporate deposit base, a significant portion of which is expected to be long-term and stable and is considered core.  Other sources of funding include collateralized borrowings, securitizations (primarily credit card and mortgages), long-term debt, and purchased/wholesale funds.  This funding is significantly enhanced by Citigroup’s strong capital position.  Each of Citigroup’s major operating subsidiaries finances its operations on a basis consistent with its capitalization, regulatory structure and the operating environment in which it operates.

 

Other liquidity and capital resource considerations for Citigroup follow.

 

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 and Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service, 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 a derivative contract 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.

 

47



 

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.

 

Securitization of Citigroup’s Assets

 

In certain off-balance sheet arrangements, including credit card receivable and mortgage loan securitizations Citigroup is securitizing assets that were previously recorded in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  Under generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of these qualifying SPEs do not appear in Citigroup’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 the total amount of loans securitized and outstanding was $211 billion and $234 billion, respectively.  Servicing rights and other retained interests amounted to $3.167 billion at June 30, 2003.

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 retained interest, consisting of seller’s interest 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.  CGMI is one of several underwriters that distribute securities issued by the trusts to investors.

 

48



 

At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, total assets in the credit card trusts were $84 billion and $84 billion, respectively.  Of that amount at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, $72 billion and $67 billion, respectively, has been sold to investors via trust-issued securities, and the remaining seller’s interest of $12 billion and $17 billion, respectively, is included in Citigroup’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as Consumer Loans.  Citigroup retains credit risk on its seller’s interests and reserves for credit losses inherent in the portfolio.  Amounts receivable from the trusts were $1.123 billion and $1.112 billion, respectively, and amounts due to the trusts were $914 million and $889 million, respectively, at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002.  The Company also holds an interest-only strip of $709 million at June 30, 2003 that arose from the calculation of gain or loss at the time assets were sold to the trusts.  The Company recorded gains of $69 million and $215 million related to the securitization of credit card receivables as a result of changes in estimates in the timing of revenue recognition on securitizations during the second quarter and first six months of 2003, respectively.

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 which 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.  Home equity loans may be revolving lines of credit under which borrowers have the right to draw on the line of credit up to their maximum amount for a specified number of years.  In addition to servicing rights, the Company also retains a residual interest in its auto loan, student loan and other assets securitizations, consisting of seller’s interest 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 $187 million and $63 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $324 million and $100 million during the first six months of 2003 and 2002, 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.  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 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 second loss enhancement in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees.  Following certain actions taken to restructure multi-seller finance companies, we have determined that they will not need to be consolidated under FIN 46.  All fees are charged on a market basis.  At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, total assets in the conduits were $46 billion and $49 billion, respectively, and liabilities were $46 billion and $49 billion, respectively.  In addition, the Company participates in providing liquidity backstop lines of credit to conduits administered by other financial institutions.

 

The Company also securitizes clients’ debt obligations in transactions involving SPEs that issue collateralized debt obligations (CDOs).  A majority of the transactions are on behalf of clients where the Company first purchases the assets at the request of the clients and warehouses them until the securitization transaction is executed.  Other CDOs are structured where the underlying debt obligations are purchased directly in the open market or from issuers.  Some CDOs have static unmanaged portfolios of assets, while others have a more actively managed portfolio of financial assets.  The Company receives market-rate fees for structuring and distributing the CDO securities to investors.  At June 30, 2003, assets in the CDOs amounted to $18.4 billion.

 

In addition to securitizations of mortgage loans originated by the Company, the Company also securitizes purchased mortgages and other loans, creating collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), other mortgage-backed securities (MBSs), and other asset-backed securities, and distributes them to investors.  Since January 1, 2000, the Company has organized mortgage and other asset-backed securitizations with assets of $241 billion at June 30, 2003.  The Company may also provide liquidity facilities, provide servicing for the mortgage loans transferred to the SPE, and be a derivative counterparty to the SPE.

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 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.  For a limited number of mutual funds, the Company provides a guarantee that investors will recover their principal investments.  In certain instances for newly-established funds, the Company may provide seed money until such funds are ready to distribute interests widely to investors.  Where the Company has provided a majority of the initial investment, the fund is consolidated.  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 may place the securities with investors.

CAPITAL

 

Citigroup Inc.

 

Citigroup is 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 unused 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 ratio of at least 6%, a combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 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.

(1)          The decrease in minority interest during the first quarter reflects the redemption of $500 million of REIT preferred stock.

(2)          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.

(3)          Represents unconsolidated banking and finance subsidiaries.

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

(5)          Includes qualifying senior and subordinated debt in an amount not exceeding 50% of Tier 1 capital, and subordinated capital notes subject to certain limitations.

(6)          Includes risk-weighted credit equivalent amounts, net of applicable bilateral netting agreements, of $33.2 billion for interest rate, commodity and equity derivative contracts and foreign exchange contracts, as of June 30, 2003, compared to $31.4 billion as of March 31, 2003 and $31.5 billion as of December 31, 2002.  Market risk-equivalent assets included in risk-adjusted assets amounted to $33.1 billion at June 30, 2003 and $34.7 billion at March 31, 2003 and $30.6 billion at December 31, 2002.  Risk-adjusted assets also includes the effect of other off-balance sheet exposures such as unused loan commitments and letters of credit and reflects deductions for intangible assets and any excess allowance for credit losses.

 

Common stockholders’ equity increased a net $6.9 billion during the first six months of 2003 to $92.2 billion at June 30, 2003, representing 7.77% of assets, compared to $85.3 billion and 7.78% at year-end 2002.  The increase in common stockholders’ equity during the first six months of 2003 principally reflected net income of $8.4 billion, $1.8 billion related to the issuance of shares pursuant to employee benefit plans and other activity and $1.1 billion related to the after-tax net change in equity from nonowner sources, offset by dividends declared on common stock of $2.1 billion, treasury stock acquired of $1.5 billion and $0.8 billion related to the net issuance of restricted and deferred stock.  The decrease in the common stockholders’ equity ratio during the first six months of 2003 reflected the above items, and was offset by the increase in total assets.

 

On March 3, 2003, Citigroup and Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (CGMHI) redeemed, for cash, all of the Trust Preferred securities of Citigroup Capital IV and SSBH Capital I, respectively, at the redemption price of $25 per Preferred security plus any accrued interest and unpaid distributions thereon.  On March 3, 2003, Citigroup redeemed the Series Q and R Preferred Stock.

 

The total mandatorily redeemable securities of subsidiary trusts (trust securities) which qualify as Tier 1 capital at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were $6.718 billion and $6.152 billion, respectively.  The amount outstanding at June 30, 2003 includes $5.615 billion of parent-obligated securities and $1.103 billion of subsidiary-obligated securities, and at December 31, 2002 includes $4.657 billion of parent-obligated securities and $1.495 billion of subsidiary-obligated securities.  The continued consolidation of the Issuer Trusts and the appropriate balance sheet classification of trust preferred securities is currently under review pursuant to FIN 46.  Although the Federal Reserve Board has issued interim guidance that continues to recognize trust preferred securities as a component of Tier 1 capital, it is possible that a change may result in these securities’ qualifying for Tier 2 capital rather than Tier 1 capital.  If Tier 2 capital treatment had been required at June 30, 2003, Citigroup would remain “well capitalized” under the Federal bank regulatory agencies definitions.

 

Citigroup’s subsidiary depository institutions in the United States are subject to the risk-based capital guidelines issued by their respective primary Federal bank regulatory agencies, which are generally similar to the FRB’s guidelines.  At June 30, 2003, all of Citigroup’s subsidiary depository institutions were “well capitalized” under the Federal bank regulatory agencies’ definitions.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, consisting of central banks and bank supervisors from 13 countries, is developing a new set of risk based capital standards, on which it has received significant input from Citigroup and other major banking organizations.  The Basel Committee intends to finalize the capital standards by the fourth quarter of 2003 and implement a new framework by year-end 2006.  The U.S. banking regulators issued an advance notice of proposed rule making in July 2003 to address issues in advance of issuing their proposed rules incorporating the new Basel standards.  The final version of these rules will apply to Citigroup and other large U.S. banks and bank holding companies.  Citigroup is assessing the impact of the proposed new capital standards, participating in efforts to refine the standards and monitoring the progress of the Basel initiative.

 

In January 2003, FASB issued final accounting guidance in FIN 46 which will require the consolidation of certain types of special purpose vehicles that previously were recorded as off-balance sheet exposures.  During 2003, the Federal bank regulatory agencies are expected to issue guidance clarifying how this new requirement will be incorporated into the risk-based capital framework.  The Company is monitoring the status and progress of regulatory adoption of this new rule.

 

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 34.

 

Citicorp

 

The in-country forum for liquidity issues is the ALCO, which includes senior executives within each country. The ALCO reviews the current and prospective funding requirements for all businesses and legal entities within the country, as well as the capital position and balance sheet. All businesses within the country are represented on the committee with the focal point being the Country Treasurer.  The Citigroup Country Officer and the Country Treasurer ensure that all funding obligations in each country are met when due. The Citigroup Corporate Treasurer, in concert with the Citigroup Country Officer and the Regional Market Risk Manager, appoints the Country Treasurer.

 

Each Country Treasurer must prepare a funding and liquidity plan at least annually, reviewed by the country ALCO and approved by the Regional Market Risk Manager.  It is also reviewed by the Citigroup Corporate Treasurer and approved by the independent Senior Treasury Risk Officer. The liquidity profile is monitored on a daily basis by the local Treasurer and independent risk management.  Limits are established on the extent to which businesses in a country can take liquidity risk. The size of the limit depends on the size of the balance sheet, depth of the market, experience level of local management, the 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 providers of liquidity to Citicorp.

 

Regional Market Risk Managers have responsibility for monitoring liquidity risk across a number of countries within a defined geography. They are also available for consultation and special approvals, especially in unusual or volatile market conditions.

 

Citicorp’s assets and liabilities are diversified across many currencies, geographic areas, and businesses. Particular attention is paid to those businesses which for tax, sovereign risk, or regulatory reasons cannot be freely and readily funded in the international markets.

 

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% of total funding at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, are broadly diversified by both geography and customer segments.

 

Stockholder’s equity, which grew $2.2 billion during the first six months of 2003 to $75.7 billion at June 30, 2003, continues to be an important component of the overall funding structure. In addition, long-term debt is issued by Citicorp and its subsidiaries. Total Citicorp long-term debt outstanding at the end of the second quarter was $82.6 billion, compared with $78.4 billion at year-end 2002.

 

Asset securitization programs remain an important source of liquidity.  Loans securitized and sold during the first six months of 2003 included $9.6 billion of U.S. credit cards and $28.9 billion of U.S. consumer mortgages.  As credit card securitization transactions amortize, newly originated receivables are recorded on Citicorp’s balance sheet and become available for asset securitization.  In the 2003 second quarter, the scheduled amortization of certain credit card securitization transactions made available $3.4 billion of new receivables.  In addition, at least $6.9 billion of credit card securitization transactions are scheduled to amortize during 2003.

 

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.

 

52



 

As of June 30, 2003, Citicorp’s national and state-chartered bank subsidiaries could have declared dividends to their respective parent companies, without regulatory approval, of approximately $5.9 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 June 30, 2003, its bank subsidiaries could have distributed dividends to Citicorp, directly or through their parent holding company, of approximately $4.7 billion of the available $5.9 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.

Citicorp is subject to risk-based capital and leverage guidelines issued by the FRB.

This compares with $70.3 billion and 12.81% at March 31, 2003 and $68.7 billion and 12.31% at December 31, 2002.  Tier 1 capital of $46.6 billion at June 30, 2003 represented 8.40% of risk-adjusted assets, compared with $46.7 billion and 8.51% at March 31, 2003 and $45.3 billion and 8.11% at December 31, 2002.  The Tier 1 capital ratio at June 30, 2003 was above Citicorp’s target range of 8.00% to 8.30%.

 

Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (CGMHI)

 

Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc.’s (formerly Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc.) total assets were $347 billion at June 30, 2003, compared to $292 billion at year-end 2002.  Due to the nature of CGMHI’s trading activities, it is not uncommon for asset levels to fluctuate from period to period.  CGMHI’s assets are financed through a number of sources including long- and short-term unsecured borrowings, financing transactions, and payables to brokers, dealers, and customers.  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 effective liquidity management, and to ensure that its capital base supports the regulatory capital requirements of its subsidiaries.

 

CGMHI funds its operations through the use of secured and unsecured short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings and its equity.  Secured short-term financing, including repurchase agreements and secured loans, is CGMHI’s principal funding source.  Unsecured short-term borrowings provide a source of short-term liquidity and are also utilized as an alternative to secured financing when they represent a less expensive funding source.  Sources of short-term unsecured borrowings include commercial paper, unsecured bank borrowings and letters of credit, deposit liabilities, promissory notes, and corporate loans.

 

CGMHI has a $4.8 billion 364-day committed uncollateralized revolving line of credit with unaffiliated banks.  Commitments under this facility terminate in May 2004.  Any borrowings under this facility would mature in May 2006.  CGMHI also has a $125 million committed uncollateralized 364-day facility with an unaffiliated bank that extends through May 2004, with any borrowings under this facility maturing in May 2005, and a $100 million 364-day collateralized facility that extends through December 2003.  CGMHI may borrow under these revolving credit facilities at various interest rate options (LIBOR or base rate), and compensates the banks for these facilities through facility fees.  At June 30, 2003, there were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities.  CGMHI also has committed long-term financing facilities of $1.7 billion with unaffiliated banks which were fully drawn at June 30, 2003.  A bank can terminate its facility by giving CGMHI prior notice (generally one year).  CGMHI compensates the banks for the 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 June 30, 2003, this requirement was exceeded by approximately $6.0 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 $27.6 billion at June 30, 2003 and $28.9 billion at December 31, 2002.  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

 

53



 

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 from which it draws funds.  The volume of borrowings generally fluctuates in response to changes in the level of financial instruments, commodities and contractual commitments, customer balances, the amount of reverse repurchase transactions outstanding, and securities borrowed transactions.  As CGMHI’s activities increase, borrowings generally increase to fund the additional activities.  Availability of financing 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 and maintains sufficient capital by tracking asset levels, collateral and funding availability to maintain flexibility to meet its financial commitments.  CGMHI’s liquidity management process includes a contingency funding plan designed to ensure adequate liquidity even if access to unsecured funding sources is severely restricted or unavailable.  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 that is utilized to determine the ability to withstand varying levels of stress, which could impact CGMHI’s liquidation horizons and required margins.  In addition, CGMHI monitors its leverage and capital ratios on a daily basis.

At June 30, 2003, TIC had $41.1 billion of life and annuity product deposit funds and reserves.  Of that total, $22.9 billion is not subject to discretionary withdrawal based on contract terms.  The remaining $18.2 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 $6.6 billion of liabilities that is surrenderable with market value adjustments.  Also included is an additional $5.8 billion of the life insurance and individual annuity liabilities which is subject to discretionary withdrawals and an average surrender charge of 4.76%.  In the payout phase, these funds are credited at significantly reduced interest rates.  The remaining $5.8 billion of liabilities is surrenderable without charge.  Approximately 9.7% 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 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 $966 million of statutory surplus is available by the end of the year 2003 for such dividends without the prior approval of the Connecticut Insurance Department, of which $163 million was paid during the first six months of 2003.

 

Insurance Industry — Risk-Based Capital

 

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) adopted risk-based capital (RBC) requirements for life insurance companies and for property and casualty 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.  At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, all of Citigroup’s life companies had adjusted capital in excess of amounts requiring Company or any regulatory action.

(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 2002 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

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (SFAS 123), prospectively to all awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003.  The prospective method is one of the adoption methods provided for under SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” issued in December 2002.   SFAS 123 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period). This compensation cost is determined using option pricing models, intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date.  Similar to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” the alternative method of accounting, an offsetting increase to stockholders’ equity under SFAS 123 is recorded equal to the amount of compensation expense charged.  Earnings per share dilution is recognized as well.

 

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

The Company has made changes to various stock-based compensation plan provisions for awards granted in 2003.  For example, the vesting period and the term of stock options granted after 2002 have been shortened to three and six years, respectively.  In addition, the sale of underlying shares acquired through the exercise of options granted in 2003 is restricted for a two-year period.  The Company continues its existing stock ownership commitment for senior executives, which requires executives to retain at least 75% of the shares they own and acquire from the Company, subject to certain minimum ownership guidelines, over the term of their employment.  Original option grants in 2003 and thereafter will not have a reload feature; however, previously granted options will retain that feature.  Other changes may also be made that may impact the expense recognized under SFAS 123.

 

60



 

Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

 

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

 

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

 

In January 2003, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN 46).  This Interpretation changes the method of determining whether certain entities, including securitization entities, should be included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.  An entity is subject to FIN 46 and is called a variable interest entity (VIE) if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity’s operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity.  All other entities are evaluated for consolidation under SFAS No. 94, “Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries.”  A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that has a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns or both.

 

The provisions of FIN 46 are to be applied immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date.  For VIEs in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 applies in the first fiscal period beginning after June 15, 2003.  For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN 46 that were created before February 1, 2003, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE would be initially measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change.  If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46 first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE.

 

The Company is evaluating the impact of applying FIN 46 to existing VIEs in which it has variable interests and has not yet completed this analysis.  The Company previously reported that the implementation of FIN 46 could increase both assets and liabilities by $55 billion.  However, the Company has since restructured certain VIEs that enables them to meet the criteria for non-consolidation.  At this time, it is anticipated that the effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position could be an increase of approximately $5 billion to both assets and liabilities.  As we continue to evaluate the impact of applying FIN 46, additional entities may be identified that would need to be consolidated by the Company.

 

Guarantees and Indemnifications

 

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

 

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

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

 

On January 1, 2002, Citigroup adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 142, when the rules became effective for calendar year companies.  Under the new rules, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests.  Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.  The adoption resulted in a cumulative adjustment of $47 million (after-tax) reported as a charge to earnings related to the impairment of certain intangible assets.

 

61



 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

 

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

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 149).  SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133.  In particular, this Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows.  This Statement is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Liabilities and Equity

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (SFAS 150).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and classifies them in its statement of financial position.  It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) when that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

3.    Business Developments and Combinations

 

Acquisition of Sears’ Credit Card Business

 

On July, 15, 2003, Citigroup announced that it will acquire Sears’ $29 billion Credit Card business (the 8th largest portfolio in the U.S.) of private label and bankcard credit card receivables in a transaction in which Citigroup will pay a 10% premium or approximately $3 billion at closing.  The acquisition will also include Sears’ Financial Products business and credit card facilities with approximately 8,300 employees (5,800 full-time employees).  In addition, the companies signed a multi-year marketing and servicing agreement across a range of each company’s businesses, products and services.  The transaction is expected to close by year-end, subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

 

Acquisition of Golden State Bancorp

 

On November 6, 2002, Citigroup completed its acquisition of 100% of Golden State Bancorp (GSB) in a transaction in which Citigroup paid approximately $2.3 billion in cash and issued 79.5 million Citigroup common shares.  The total transaction value of approximately $5.8 billion was based on the average prices of Citigroup shares, as adjusted for the effect of the TPC distribution, for the two trading days before and after May 21, 2002, the date the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced.  GSB was the parent company of California Federal Bank, the second-largest thrift in the U.S. and, through its First Nationwide Mortgage business, the eighth-largest mortgage servicer.

 

Goodwill

 

During the second quarters and six months of 2003 and 2002 no goodwill was impaired or written off.  The Company recorded goodwill of $41 million during the 2002 second quarter and $74 million during the 2002 first quarter in connection with the consumer finance acquisitions of Marafuku Co., Ltd. and Taihei Co., Ltd., respectively, in Japan.  Additionally, in the 2002 first quarter, Banamex completed the purchase of the remaining 48% interest in Seguros Banamex, a life insurance business, and Afore Banamex, a pension fund management business, from AEGON for $1.24 billion which resulted in additional goodwill of $1.14 billion in the Global Investment Management segment.  Intangible assets amortization expense was $292 million and $206 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $588 million and $410 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

4.    Discontinued Operations

 

Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (TPC) (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup on December 31, 2001) sold 231 million shares of its class A common stock representing approximately 23.1% of its outstanding equity securities in an initial public offering (IPO) on March 27, 2002.  In 2002, Citigroup recognized an after-tax gain of $1.158 billion ($1.061 billion after-tax recognized in the 2002 first quarter and $97 million after-tax recognized in the 2002 third quarter) as a result of the IPO.

 

On August 20, 2002, Citigroup completed the distribution to its stockholders of a majority portion of its remaining ownership interest in TPC (the distribution). This non-cash distribution was tax-free to Citigroup, its stockholders and TPC. The distribution was treated as a dividend to stockholders for accounting purposes.  Following the distribution, Citigroup was a holder of approximately 9.9% of TPC’s outstanding equity securities which are carried at fair value in the Proprietary Investment Activities segment and classified as available-for-sale within Investments on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.  Citigroup has agreed to divest these securities within five years of the distribution.

 

Following the August 20, 2002 distribution, the results of TPC were reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows separately as discontinued operations.  TPC represented the primary vehicle by which Citigroup engaged in the property and casualty insurance business.

(1)          Includes restructuring charges of $2 million related to discontinued operations in 2001.  See Note 4 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2)          Represents additions to restructuring liabilities arising from acquisitions.

(3)          Utilization amounts include translation effects on the restructuring reserve.

 

There were no restructuring charges during the first six months of 2003.  During 2002, Citigroup recorded restructuring charges of $65 million.  Of the $65 million, $42 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2002 related to the downsizing of Global Consumer and GCIB operations in Argentina, and $23 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002 related to the acquisition of GSB and the integration of its operations within the Global Consumer business.  In addition, a restructuring reserve of $186 million was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2002 as a liability in the purchase price allocation of GSB related to the integration of operations

and operating platforms.  These restructuring initiatives are expected to be implemented this year.  The 2002 reserves included $150 million related to employee severance and $101 million related to exiting leasehold and other contractual obligations.

 

The 2002 reserves included $108 million of employee severance related to the GSB acquisition reflecting the cost of eliminating approximately 2,700 positions in Citigroup’s Global Consumer business in the United States.  The 2002 restructuring reserve utilization of $202 million was related to severance and other costs which were paid in cash, including $88 million and $134 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2003, respectively.  Through June 30, 2003, approximately 1,420 gross staff positions have been eliminated in connection with the GSB acquisition, including approximately 890 and 1,320 in the second quarter and first six months of 2003, respectively.

 

During 2001, Citigroup recorded restructuring charges of $448 million, including $2 million related to discontinued operations. Of the $448 million, $319 million related to the downsizing of certain functions in the GCIB and Global Consumer businesses in order to align their cost structures with current market conditions and $129 million related to the acquisition of Banamex and the integration of its operations.  In addition, a restructuring reserve of $112 million was recorded in connection with the acquisition of Banamex and recognized as a liability in the purchase price allocation of Banamex.  The total Banamex reserves of $241 million include costs related to downsizing, the reconfiguration of branch operations in Mexico, and the integration of operations and operating platforms.  The reserves included $423 million related to employee severance, $72 million related to exiting leasehold and other contractual obligations, and $65 million of asset impairment charges.

 

The $423 million related to employee severance reflects the cost of eliminating approximately 12,500 positions, including 4,200 in Citigroup’s Global Consumer business and 3,600 in Banamex related to the acquisition, and 1,300 in the Global Consumer business and 3,400 in the GCIB business related to other restructuring initiatives. Approximately 3,200 of these positions were in the United States.

 

Through June 30, 2003, the 2001 restructuring reserve utilization included $65 million of asset impairment charges as well as $415 million of severance and other costs (of which $341 million of employee severance and $37 million of leasehold and other exit costs have been paid in cash and $37 million is legally obligated), together with translation effects.  Utilization of the 2001 restructuring reserve in the 2003 second quarter and six months were $5 million and $12 million, respectively.  Through June 30, 2003, approximately 12,900 gross staff positions have been eliminated under these programs, including approximately 100 and 150 in the second quarter and first six months of 2003, respectively.

 

The implementation of these restructuring initiatives also caused certain related premises and equipment assets to become redundant.  The remaining depreciable lives of these assets were shortened, and accelerated depreciation charges (in addition to normal scheduled depreciation on those assets) were recognized.  There were no accelerated depreciation charges recognized in the second quarter and first six months of 2003.  However, $4 million and $9 million were recognized in the second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively.

 

Changes in estimates are attributable to facts and circumstances arising subsequent to an original restructuring charge.  Changes in estimates attributable to lower than anticipated costs of implementing certain projects and a reduction in the scope of certain initiatives during the second quarter of 2003 resulted in a reduction of the reserve for prior restructuring initiatives of $1 million.  Changes in estimates during the first quarter of 2003 resulted in a reduction of the reserve for 2001 restructuring initiatives of $3 million and a reduction of reserves for prior restructuring initiatives of $10 million.  Changes in estimates during the second quarter of 2002 resulted in a reduction of the reserve for 2001 restructuring initiatives of $6 million and a reduction of reserves for prior restructuring initiatives of $37 million.

 

Additional information about restructuring-related items, including the business segments affected, can be found in Citigroup’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

11.   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.

13.    Securitizations

 

Securitization Activities

 

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

 

69



 

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 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 following table summarizes certain cash flows received from and paid to securitization trusts during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002:

The Company recognized gains on securitizations of mortgages of $170 million and $42 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $301 million and $60 million during the first six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. In the second quarter and first six months of 2003 the Company recorded gains of $69 million and $215 million, respectively, related to the securitization of credit card receivables as a result of changes in estimates in the timing of revenue recognition on securitizations.  Gains recognized on the securitization of other assets during the second quarter of 2003 and 2002 were $17 million and $21 million, respectively, and $23 million and $40 million during the first six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Key assumptions used for credit cards, mortgages and other assets during the three months ended June 30, 2003 in measuring the fair value of retained interests at the date of sale or securitization follow:

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.

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 June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, and credit losses, net of recoveries, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

(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 FAS 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.  The valuation allowance on MSRs was $910 million, $1.475 billion and $1.313 billion at June 30, 2003, March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, and $316 million, $193 million and $153 million at June 30, 2002, March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.  During the 2003 second quarter, the Company determined that a portion of the capitalized MSR was not recoverable and reduced both the previously recognized valuation allowance and the asset by $830 million with no impact to earnings in the quarter.

(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.

 

14.    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 table below summarizes at June 30, 2003 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.

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.  Market value guarantees are issued to guarantee return of principal invested to fund investors.  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.  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.  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.  Other 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.  Derivative instruments include credit default swaps, total return swaps, written foreign exchange options, written put options, and written equity warrants.  Residual value guarantees provide that the guarantor will pay the difference between the fair value of the guaranteed property or equipment and the value specified in the contract to the guarantor at the termination or renewal date of an operating lease.

 

72



 

At June 30, 2003, the Company’s maximum potential amount of future payments under these guarantees is approximately $199.8  billion.  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, 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.

 

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.   In addition, the Company is a member of 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 indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and were entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss would be remote.  In many cases, there are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses and the contingencies triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur.  There are no amounts reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2003, related to these indemnifications.  These potential obligations are not included in the table above.

 

At June 30, 2003, the carrying amounts of the liabilities related to these guarantees and indemnifications amounted to $10.8 billion.  In addition, other liabilities includes an allowance for credit losses of $167 million relating to unfunded letters of credit at June 30, 2003.  Cash collateral available to the Company to reimburse losses realized under these guarantees and indemnifications amounted to $42.8 billion at June 30, 2003.  Securities and other marketable assets held as collateral amounted to $8.9 billion and letters of credit in favor of the Company held as collateral amounted to $0.9 billion at June 30, 2003.  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

 

For a discussion of certain legal proceedings, see Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

 

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, 2002, as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 28, 2003, and our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 28, 2003.

 

Enron:

 

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

 

Additional Actions

 

Several additional actions, previously identified, have been consolidated with the Newby action and are stayed, except with respect to certain discovery, until after the Court’s decision on class certification.  In addition, on April 17, 2003, an action was brought by two investment firms in connection with purchases of Osprey Trust certificates for alleged violations of federal securities laws and state securities and other laws.  Also, in July 2003, an action was brought by purchasers in the secondary market of Enron bank debt against Citigroup, Citibank, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGMI), and others, alleging claims for common law fraud, conspiracy, gross negligence, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty.

 

Research:

 

On June 23, 2003, the West Virginia Attorney General filed an action against CGMI and nine other firms that were parties to the April 28, 2003 settlement with the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the New York Attorney General (the Research Settlement).  The West Virginia Attorney General alleges that the firms violated the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act in connection with their research activities and seeks monetary penalties.

 

In May 2003, the SEC, NYSE and NASD issued a subpoena and letters to CGMI requesting documents and information with respect to their continuing investigation of individuals in connection with the supervision of the research and investment banking departments of CGMI.  Other parties to the Research Settlement have received similar subpoena and letters.

 

In April 2003, to effectuate the Research Settlement, the SEC filed a Complaint and Final Judgment in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Final Judgment has not yet been entered by the court, and the court has asked for certain additional information. Also in April 2003, the NASD accepted the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent entered into with CGMI in connection with the Research Settlement; and in May 2003, the NYSE advised CGMI that the Hearing Panel’s Decision, in which it accepted the Research Settlement, had become final. CGMI is currently in discussion with various of the states with respect to completion of the state components of the Research Settlement.  Payment will be made in conformance with the payment provisions of the Final Judgment.

 

WorldCom, Inc.:

 

On May 19, 2003, the motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the WorldCom, Inc. Securities Litigation was denied.

 

Dynegy Inc.:

 

On June 6, 2003, the complaint in a pre-existing putative class action pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, brought by purchasers of publicly traded debt and equity securities of Dynegy Inc., was amended to add Citigroup, Citibank and CGMI, as well as other banks, as defendants.  The plaintiffs allege violations of the federal securities laws against the Citigroup defendants.

 

74



 

Adelphia Communications Corporation:

 

On July 6, 2003, an adversary proceeding was filed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors on behalf of Adelphia against certain lenders and investment banks, including CGMI, Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., and Citigroup Financial Products, Inc. (together, the Citigroup Parties).  The Complaint alleges that the Citigroup Parties and numerous other defendants committed acts in violation of the Bank Company Holding Act and the common law.  The complaint seeks equitable relief and an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages.

 

In addition, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. (predecessor of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.) is among the underwriters named in numerous civil actions brought to date by investors in Adelphia debt securities in connection with Adelphia securities offerings between September 1997 and October 2001.  Three of the complaints also assert claims against Citigroup Inc. and Citibank, N.A.  All of the complaints allege violations of federal securities laws, and certain of the complaints also allege violations of state securities laws and the common law.  The complaints seek unspecified damages.

 

Other:

 

On May 28, 2003, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismissed the shareholder derivative complaints in the consolidated Citigroup Inc. Shareholders litigation actions.  On July 1, 2003, plaintiffs appealed that dismissal.

 

On April 24, 2003, a putative class action on behalf of participants in the Citigroup 401(k) retirement plan was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  A second, substantially identical putative class action was filed in the same court on May 15, 2003.
