MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Third Quarter of 2018—Solid Operating Results and Continued Momentum
As described further throughout this Executive Summary, Citi reported solid operating results in the third quarter of 2018, reflecting continued momentum across businesses and geographies, including in many of the areas where Citi has been making ongoing investments.
During the third quarter of 2018, Citi had solid revenue growth across treasury and trade solutions, fixed income markets, securities services and the private bank in the Institutional Clients Group (ICG) and in international Global Consumer Banking (GCB), with particular strength in Latin America GCB. Results in the current quarter and prior-year period also reflected the impact of gains on sale of businesses in ICG and Latin America GCB (see “Citigroup” below). During the quarter, Citi continued to demonstrate expense and credit discipline, resulting in positive operating leverage and an improvement in pretax earnings. Citi also had broad-based loan growth in GCB and ICG, as well as deposit growth.
In addition, Citi continued to return capital to its shareholders. In the quarter, Citi returned $6.4 billion in the form of common stock repurchases and dividends. Citi repurchased approximately 75 million common shares during the quarter and over 200 million over the last 12 months, resulting in an 8% reduction in outstanding common shares from the prior-year period. Despite the continued progress in returning capital to shareholders during the quarter, each of Citi’s key regulatory capital metrics remained strong (see “Capital” below).
While global economic growth has continued and the macroeconomic environment remains largely positive, there continue to be various economic, political and other risks and uncertainties that could impact Citi’s businesses and future results. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could impact Citi’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition during the remainder of 2018, see each respective business’s results of operations and “Forward-Looking Statements” below, as well as each respective business’s results of operations and the “Managing Global Risk” and “Risk Factors” sections in Citi’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Third Quarter of 2018 Summary Results
Citigroup
Citigroup reported net income of $4.6 billion, or $1.73 per share, compared to net income of $4.1 billion, or $1.42 per share, in the prior-year period. The 12% increase in net income was primarily driven by a lower effective tax rate due to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform), and also reflected lower expenses and lower cost of credit. Earnings per share increased 22% due to the growth in net income and the 8% reduction in average shares outstanding driven by the common stock repurchases.
Citigroup revenues of $18.4 billion in the third quarter of 2018 were largely unchanged from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the net impact of a gain on sale (approximately $580 million) of a fixed income analytics business in ICG in the prior-year period and a gain on sale (approximately $250 million) of an asset management business in Latin America GCB in the current quarter as well as the impact of foreign currency translation (which increased reported revenues in the prior-year period by $335 million). Excluding the gains on sale as well as the impact of foreign currency translation in U.S. dollars for reporting purposes (FX translation), revenues increased 4%, driven by growth in ICG (Citi’s results of operations excluding the gains on sale as well as the impact of FX translation are non-GAAP financial measures).
Citigroup’s end-of-period loans increased 3% to $675 billion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup’s end-of-period loans grew 4%, as 6% aggregate growth in GCB and ICG was partially offset by the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate/Other. Citigroup’s end-of-period deposits increased 4% to $1.0 trillion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup’s deposits increased 5%, primarily driven by 8% growth in ICG deposits.
Expenses
Citigroup operating expenses of $10.3 billion decreased 1% versus the prior-year period, as the impact of higher volume-related expenses and ongoing investments was more than offset by efficiency savings and the wind-down of legacy assets. Year-over-year, GCB operating expenses were up 5% and ICG operating expenses increased 1%, while Corporate/Other operating expenses declined 44%, all versus the prior-year period.
Cost of Credit
Citi’s total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims of $2.0 billion decreased 1% from the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net loan loss reserve builds in both Citi retail services and Citi-branded cards in North America GCB, partially offset by a net loan loss reserve build in ICG, driven by volume growth.
Net credit losses of $1.8 billion declined 1% versus the prior-year period. Consumer net credit losses of $1.7 billion were largely unchanged from the prior-year period. Corporate net credit losses decreased from $43 million in the prior-year period to $30 million.
For additional information on Citi’s consumer and corporate credit costs and allowance for loan losses, see each respective business’s results of operations and “Credit Risk” below.
Capital
Citigroup’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital and Tier 1 Capital ratios, on a fully implemented basis, were 11.7% and 13.4% as of September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to
3
13.0% and 14.6% as of September 30, 2017, both based on the Basel III Standardized Approach for determining risk-weighted assets. The decline in regulatory capital ratios reflected the return of capital to common shareholders, the previously disclosed approximate $6 billion reduction in CET1 Capital in the fourth quarter of 2017 due to the impact of Tax Reform as well as an increase in risk-weighted assets, partially offset by net income. Citigroup’s Supplementary Leverage ratio as of September 30, 2018, on a fully implemented basis, was 6.5%, compared to 7.1% as of September 30, 2017. For additional information on Citi’s capital ratios and related components, including the impact of Tax Reform on its capital ratios, see “Capital Resources” below.
Global Consumer Banking
GCB net income of $1.6 billion increased 34%, driven primarily by lower cost of credit and a lower effective tax rate, as well as the gain on sale in Latin America GCB, partially offset by higher expenses. Operating expenses were $4.7 billion, up 5%, or 6% excluding the impact of FX translation, driven by the timing of investment spending versus the prior-year period.
GCB revenues of $8.7 billion increased 2% versus the prior-year period, and 3% excluding the impact of FX translation, driven primarily by strength in Latin America GCB as well as the gain on sale. North America GCB revenues decreased 1% to $5.1 billion, as higher revenues in Citi retail services were more than offset by lower revenues in Citi-branded cards and retail banking. Citi-branded cards revenues of $2.1 billion were down 3% versus the prior-year period, as growth in interest-earning balances was more than offset by the impact of the previously disclosed Hilton portfolio sale as well as previously disclosed partnership terms. Citi retail services revenues of $1.7 billion increased 2% versus the prior-year period, primarily reflecting organic loan growth and the benefit of the L.L.Bean portfolio acquisition, partially offset by higher partner payments. Retail banking revenues decreased 3% from the prior-year period to $1.3 billion. Excluding mortgage revenues, retail banking revenues of $1.2 billion were up 1% from the prior-year period, driven by continued growth in deposit margins and investments, largely offset by lower episodic transaction activity in commercial banking.
North America GCB average deposits of $180 billion decreased 2% year-over-year, primarily driven by a reduction in money market balances, as clients transferred money to investments. North America GCB average retail loans of $56 billion grew 1% year-over-year and assets under management of $64 billion grew 9%. Average Citi-branded card loans of $88 billion increased 3%, while Citi-branded card purchase sales of $87 billion increased 9% versus the prior-year period. Average Citi retail services loans of $49 billion increased 7% versus the prior-year period, while Citi retail services purchase sales of $22 billion were up 11%. For additional information on the results of operations of North America GCB for the third quarter of 2018, see “Global Consumer Banking—North America GCB” below.
International GCB revenues (consisting of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB (which includes the results of operations in certain EMEA countries)) increased 8%, versus the prior-year period to $3.5 billion. Excluding the impact of FX translation, international GCB revenues increased 11% versus the prior-year period. On this basis, Latin America GCB revenues increased 26% versus the prior-year period, including the gain on sale. Excluding the gain on sale, Latin America GCB revenues increased 8%, driven by continued volume growth across commercial, mortgage and card loans as well as deposits. Asia GCB revenues increased 1%, as continued growth in deposit, cards and insurance revenues was largely offset by lower investment revenues due to weaker market sentiment. For additional information on the results of operations of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB for the third quarter of 2018, including the impact of FX translation, see “Global Consumer Banking—Latin America GCB” and “Global Consumer Banking—Asia GCB” below.
Year-over-year, international GCB average deposits of $127 billion increased 5%, average retail loans of $90 billion increased 4%, assets under management of $105 billion increased 8%, average card loans of $24 billion increased 2% and card purchase sales of $26 billion increased 7%, all excluding the impact of FX translation.
Institutional Clients Group
ICG net income of $3.1 billion increased 2%, driven primarily by the lower effective tax rate, which more than offset the lower revenues as well as the higher cost of credit and operating expenses. ICG operating expenses increased 1% to $5.2 billion, driven by an increase in compensation costs, volume-related expenses and investments, partially offset by efficiency savings.
ICG revenues were $9.2 billion in the third quarter of 2018, down 2% from the prior-year period, as a 1% increase in Banking revenues was more than offset by a 5% decrease in Markets and securities services, reflecting the impact of the gain on sale in the prior-year period. Excluding the gain on sale in the prior-year period, revenues increased 4%, driven by growth in both Markets and securities services (up 8%) and Banking (up 1%). The increase in Banking revenues included the impact of $106 million of losses on loan hedges within corporate lending, compared to losses of $48 million in the prior-year period.
Banking revenues of $4.9 billion (excluding the impact of losses on loan hedges within corporate lending) increased 2%, driven by solid growth in treasury and trade solutions, private bank and corporate lending, partially offset by lower revenues in investment banking. Investment banking revenues of $1.2 billion decreased 8% versus the prior-year period, as growth in advisory was more than offset by a decline in both debt and equity underwriting, reflecting lower market activity. Advisory revenues increased 9% to $262 million, equity underwriting revenues decreased 17% to $259 million and debt underwriting revenues decreased 9% to $660 million, all versus the prior-year period.
Treasury and trade solutions revenues of $2.3 billion increased 4% versus the prior-year period, and 8% excluding the impact of FX translation, reflecting continued growth in
4
transaction volumes, loans and deposits. Private bank revenues increased 7% to $849 million versus the prior-year period, driven by growth in loans and investments, as well as improved deposit spreads. Corporate lending revenues were largely unchanged at $457 million. Excluding the impact of losses on loan hedges, corporate lending revenues increased 11% versus the prior-year period, primarily driven by loan growth and lower hedging costs.
Markets and securities services revenues of $4.5 billion decreased 5% from the prior-year period. Excluding the gain on sale, Markets and securities services increased 8%, driven by revenue growth in both fixed income and equity markets as well as securities services. Fixed income markets revenues of $3.2 billion increased 9% from the prior-year period, with contributions from both rates and currencies as well as spread products. Equity markets revenues of $792 million increased 1% from the prior-year period, as strength in prime finance and derivatives was largely offset by lower revenues in cash equities, reflecting a more challenging trading environment and lower commissions. Securities services revenues of $672 million increased 11%, and 15% excluding the impact of FX translation, driven by continued growth in client volumes and higher net interest revenue. For additional information on the results of operations of ICG for the third quarter of 2018, see “Institutional Clients Group” below.
Corporate/Other
Corporate/Other net loss was $67 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to a net loss of $83 million in the prior-year period. Operating expenses of $459 million declined 44% from the prior-year period, largely reflecting the wind-down of legacy assets as well as lower infrastructure costs.
Corporate/Other revenues were $494 million, down 5% from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the continued wind-down of legacy assets.

3Q18 vs. 3Q17
Net income increased 32%, due to lower cost of credit and a lower effective tax rate due to the impact of Tax Reform, partially offset by lower revenues and higher expenses.
Revenues decreased 1%, as higher revenues in Citi retail services were more than offset by lower revenues in Citi-branded cards and retail banking.
Retail banking revenues decreased 3%. Excluding mortgage revenues (decline of 28%), retail banking revenues were up 1%, driven by continued growth in deposit margins and investments, largely offset by lower episodic transaction activity in commercial banking as well as increasing
rate sensitivity. Average deposits decreased 2% year-over-year, primarily driven by a reduction in money market balances, as clients transferred money to investments. Assets under management were up 9%. The decline in mortgage revenues was driven by lower origination activity and higher cost of funds, reflecting the higher interest rate environment.
Cards revenues decreased 1%. In Citi-branded cards, revenues decreased 3%, as growth in interest-earning balances was more than offset by the impact of the Hilton portfolio sale as well as previously disclosed partnership terms that went into effect earlier in 2018. Average loans increased 3% and purchase sales increased 9%.
Citi retail services revenues increased 2%, primarily reflecting organic loan growth and the benefit of the L.L.Bean portfolio acquisition, partially offset by higher partner payments. Average loans increased 7% and purchase sales increased 11%.
Expenses increased 7%, driven by volume growth and
the timing of investment spending versus the prior-year period.
Provisions decreased 20% from the prior-year period, driven by a lower net loan loss reserve build. The net loan loss reserve build in the current quarter was $121 million, primarily due to volume growth in both cards portfolios. This compares to a build of $460 million in the prior-year period, which included $300 million related to an increase in net flow rates in the later delinquency buckets in Citi retail services and a slight increase in delinquencies for the Citi-branded cards portfolio.
Net credit losses were largely unchanged at $1.2 billion, driven by higher net credit losses in Citi-branded cards (up 5% to $644 million) and Citi retail services (up 5% to $566 million), offset by a $56 million decrease in retail banking, driven by episodic charge-offs in the commercial portfolio in the prior-year period. The increase in the cards net credit losses primarily reflected volume growth and seasoning in both portfolios.
For additional information on North America GCB’s retail banking, including commercial banking, and its Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services portfolios, see “Credit Risk—Consumer Credit” below.
As part of its Citi retail services business, Citi issues co-brand and private label credit card products with Sears. As has been widely reported, on October 15, 2018, Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection that includes, among other things, plans to close additional stores. The impact to Citi retail services, including on revenues due to reduced new
account acquisitions or lower purchase sales, will depend, among other things, on the magnitude and timing of the Sears store closures. Citi retail services could also incur additional costs related to customer communications, including to support spending activity on the predominantly general-purpose MasterCard portfolio. Citi does not currently expect the Chapter 11 filing to have an immediate or ongoing material impact on its consolidated results. For additional information, see “Forward-Looking Statements” below and “Risk-Factors—Strategic Risks” in Citi’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2018 YTD vs. 2017 YTD
Net income increased 26%, driven by higher revenues, a lower effective tax rate due to the impact of Tax Reform and lower cost of credit, partially offset by higher expenses.
Revenues increased 1%, reflecting higher revenues across retail banking, Citi retail services and Citi-branded cards. Retail banking revenues increased 2%. Excluding mortgage revenues (decline of 24%), retail banking revenues increased 6%, driven by growth in deposit margins and investments. Cards revenues increased 1%. In Citi-branded cards, revenues increased 1% driven by the same factors described above, as well as the sale of the Hilton portfolio, which resulted in a gain of approximately $150 million in the first quarter of 2018. This gain was largely offset by the loss of operating revenues from the portfolio. Citi retail services revenues increased 2%, driven by the same factors described above.
Expenses increased 4%, driven by the same factors described above, partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions decreased 4%. Net credit losses increased 6%, driven by volume growth and seasoning in both cards portfolios. This increase was more than offset by a 51% decline in the net loan loss reserve build, driven by the same factors described above.

The discussion of the results of operations for Latin America GCB below excludes the impact of FX translation for all periods presented. Presentations of the results of operations, excluding the impact of FX translation, are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of certain of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.
3Q18 vs. 3Q17
Net income increased $177 million to $334 million, reflecting higher revenues and a lower effective tax rate as a result of Tax Reform, partially offset by higher expenses and cost of credit.
Revenues increased 26%, including the gain on sale of an asset management business (approximately $250 million). For additional information, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Excluding the gain on sale, revenues were up 8%, driven by increases in both retail banking and cards.
Retail banking revenues increased 34%. Excluding the gain on sale, retail banking revenues increased 8%, driven by continued growth across commercial and mortgage loans and deposits, as well as improved deposit spreads due to higher interest rates. Average loans grew 4%, average deposits grew 8% and assets under management grew 5%. Cards revenues increased 7%, due to continued volume growth, reflecting higher purchase sales (up 14%) and full-rate revolving loans. Average cards loans grew 6%.
Expenses increased 11%, driven by volume growth, ongoing investment spending and higher repositioning charges, partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 6%, as higher net credit losses were partially offset by a lower net loan loss reserve build. The net credit loss increase primarily reflected an episodic commercial charge-off that was fully offset by a related loan loss reserve release.

3Q18 vs. 3Q17
Net income increased 9%, reflecting higher revenues and a lower effective tax rate as a result of Tax Reform, partially offset by higher cost of credit.
Revenues increased 1%, driven by higher cards revenues, partially offset by lower retail banking revenues.
Retail banking revenues decreased 2%, as continued growth in deposit and insurance revenues was more than offset by lower investment revenues due to weaker market sentiment. Investment sales decreased 22%, while assets under management grew 9% and average deposits increased 4%. Retail lending revenues declined 1%, as volume growth in personal and commercial loans was more than offset by lower mortgage revenues due to spread compression. Average loans grew 4%.
Cards revenues increased 4%, driven by continued growth in average loans (up 2%) and purchase sales (up 6%).
Expenses were largely unchanged, as volume-driven growth and ongoing investment spending were offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 44%, primarily driven by a net loan loss reserve build compared to a net loan loss reserve release in the prior-year period. Overall credit quality continued to remain stable in the region.

INSTITUTIONAL CLIENTS GROUP
Institutional Clients Group (ICG) includes Banking and Markets and securities services (for additional information on these businesses, see “Citigroup Segments” above). ICG provides corporate, institutional, public sector and high-net-worth clients around the world with a full range of wholesale banking products and services, including fixed income and equity sales and trading, foreign exchange, prime brokerage, derivative services, equity and fixed income research, corporate lending, investment banking and advisory services, private banking, cash management, trade finance and securities services. ICG transacts with clients in both cash instruments and derivatives, including fixed income, foreign currency, equity and commodity products.
ICG revenue is generated primarily from fees and spreads associated with these activities. ICG earns fee income for assisting clients with transactional services and clearing, providing brokerage and investment banking services and other such activities. Such fees are recognized at the point in time when Citigroup’s performance under the terms of a contractual arrangement is completed, which is typically at the trade/execution date or closing of a transaction. Revenue generated from these activities is recorded in Commissions and fees and Investment banking. Revenue is also generated from assets under custody and administration, which is recognized as/when the associated promised service is satisfied, which normally occurs at the point in time the service is requested by the customer and provided by Citi. Revenue generated from these activities is primarily recorded in Administration and other fiduciary fees. For additional information on these various types of revenues, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition, as a market maker, ICG facilitates transactions, including holding product inventory to meet client demand, and earns the differential between the price at which it buys and sells the products. These price differentials and the unrealized gains and losses on the inventory are recorded in Principal transactions (for additional information on Principal transactions revenue, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Other primarily includes mark-to-market gains and losses on certain credit derivatives, gains and losses on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities, gains and losses on equity securities not held in trading accounts, and other non-recurring gains and losses. Interest income earned on assets held, less interest paid to customers on deposits and long- and short-term debt, is recorded as Net interest revenue.
The amount and types of Markets revenues are impacted by a variety of interrelated factors, including market liquidity; changes in market variables such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and credit spreads, as well as their implied volatilities; investor confidence; and other macroeconomic conditions. Assuming all other market conditions do not change, increases in client activity levels or bid/offer spreads generally result in increases in revenues. However, changes in market conditions can significantly impact client activity levels, bid/offer spreads and the fair value of product inventory. For example, a decrease in market liquidity may increase bid/offer spreads, decrease client activity levels and widen credit spreads on product inventory positions.
ICG’s management of the Markets businesses involves daily monitoring and evaluating of the above factors at the trading desk as well as the country level. ICG does not separately track the impact on total Markets revenues of the volume of transactions, bid/offer spreads, fair value changes of product inventory positions and economic hedges because, as noted above, these components are interrelated and are not deemed useful or necessary individually to manage the Markets businesses at an aggregate level.
In the Markets businesses, client revenues are those revenues directly attributable to client transactions at the time of inception, including commissions, interest or fees earned. Client revenues do not include the results of client facilitation activities (for example, holding product inventory in anticipation of client demand) or the results of certain economic hedging activities.
ICG’s international presence is supported by trading floors in approximately 80 countries and a proprietary network in 98 countries and jurisdictions. At September 30, 2018, ICG had approximately $1.4 trillion of assets and $685 billion of deposits, while two of its businesses—securities services and issuer services—managed approximately $18.0 trillion of assets under custody compared to $17.1 trillion at the end of the prior-year period.
