U.S. Commercial Business

 

·                  Revenues declined as increased average loan and deposit balances, up 10% and 18%, respectively, were offset by lower net interest margins.  The revenue decline also reflects business divestitures during 2007 and an increase in the mix of tax-advantaged revenues.

·                  Credit costs increased due to higher expected losses on specific loans and trends in the macro economic environment.

·                  Net income declined as lower revenues and higher credit costs offset increased tax benefits.

U.S. Commercial Business (Continued)

3Q06 vs. 3Q05

        Net Interest Revenue declined on continued net interest margin compression, partially offset by the benefit of higher volumes. Average loans (excluding the liquidating portfolio) increased 13%, and average deposits, while down 2%, were affected by the transfer of $1.8 billion in deposits for certain customer segments to the U.S. Retail Distribution business to better service those customers. Excluding this transfer, deposits were up 8%. Non-Interest Revenue declined primarily due to the absence of the prior-year $162 million legal settlement benefit related to the purchase of Copelco.

        Operating expense growth was mainly due to the absence of a $23 million expense benefit due to the Copelco settlement recorded in the prior year.

        Provision for loan losses declined primarily due to higher loan loss reserve releases resulting from the favorable credit environment and the continued liquidation of non-core portfolios.

        Core loan growth reflected strong transaction volumes and growth in loan balances across all business units.

2006 YTD vs. 2005 YTD

        Net Interest Revenue declined primarily due to the continuing impact of net interest margin compression, partially offset by strong growth in core loan and deposit balances, up 16% and 10%, respectively, over the prior year. Non-Interest Revenue declined primarily due to the absence of the $162 million legal settlement benefit in the 2005 third quarter related to the purchase of Copelco and the $161 million gain on the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business in the 2005 first quarter, partly offset by the $31 million pretax gain on the Sale of New York Branches in the 2006 second quarter.

        Operating expense growth was primarily due to higher volume-related expenses, the absence of a $23 million expense benefit due to the Copelco settlement recorded in the prior-year period, and the impact of the FAB acquisition and SFAS 123(R), partially offset by lower expenses from the absence of the transportation finance business and severance costs in the prior year.

        Provision for loan losses declined primarily due to loan loss reserve releases of $84 million due to a favorable credit environment, and the continued liquidation of non-core portfolios.

        Deposit and core loan growth reflected strong transaction volumes and balances across all business units and the impact of the FAB acquisition, partially offset by declines in the liquidating portfolio.

2Q06 vs. 2Q05

        Revenues, net of interest expense, increased 5% primarily due to the $31 million pretax gain on the Sale of New York Branches. Strong growth in core loan and deposit balances, up 13% and 11%, respectively, was more than offset by the continuing impact of net interest margin compression.

        Operating expense growth was mainly due to higher volume-related expenses and restructuring costs from site consolidation.

        Provision for loan losses decreased primarily due to the stable credit environment and the continued liquidation of non-core portfolios.

        Deposit and core loan growth reflected an increase in savings deposits and strong transaction volumes and growth in loan balances across all business units, partially offset by declines in the liquidating portfolio.

2Q06 YTD vs. 2Q05 YTD

        Revenues, net of interest expense, declined 16%, primarily due to the absence of the $161 million pretax gain on the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business in the prior-year period, partly offset by the $31 million pretax gain on the Sale of New York Branches. Strong growth in core loan and deposit balances, up 17% and 18%, respectively, were more than offset by the continuing impact of net interest margin compression.

        Operating expense growth was primarily due to higher volume-related expenses, the impact of the FAB acquisition and SFAS 123(R), partially offset by lower expenses from the absence of the transportation finance business and severance costs in the prior year.

        Provision for loan losses declined primarily due to loan loss reserve releases of $28 million, a stable credit environment, and the continued liquidation of non-core portfolios.

        Deposit and core loan growth reflected strong transaction volumes and balances across all business units and the impact of the FAB acquisition, partially offset by declines in the liquidating portfolio.

        Net income also reflected a $4 million tax reserve release resulting from the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit.

2005 vs. 2004

        Revenues, net of interest expense, were essentially flat as growth in core loan and deposit balances, up 13% and 20% respectively, and the impact of the FAB acquisition were more than offset by the impact of spread compression and reduced revenues from sold and liquidating portfolios. Revenues also reflected a $162 million legal settlement benefit related to the purchase of Copelco in the 2005 third quarter, a $161 million gain on the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business in the 2005 first quarter, and the reclassification of operating leases from loans to other assets and the related operating lease depreciation expense from revenue to expense. The reclassification of operating leases increased both revenues and expenses by $123 million.

        Operating expenses increased primarily due to the impact of the operating lease reclassification from revenue to expense of $123 million and the impact of the FAB acquisition, partially offset by lower expenses from the sold transportation finance businesses and a $23 million expense benefit related to the Copelco legal settlement.

        Provision for loan losses increased primarily due to the absence of $216 million in loan loss reserve releases during 2004, partially offset by lower net credit losses due to an improved credit environment and the continued liquidation of non-core portfolios.

        Deposit and core loan growth reflected strong transaction volumes and balances across all business units and the impact of the FAB acquisition, partially offset by declines in the liquidating portfolio, primarily due to the impact of the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business.

2004 vs. 2003

        Revenues, net of interest expense, increased primarily due to the reclassification of operating leases from loans to other assets and the related operating lease depreciation expense of $403 million from revenue to expense. This was partially offset by the impact of the liquidation of non-core portfolios, including the prior-year sale of the Fleet Services portfolio.

        Operating expenses increased primarily due to the $403 million impact of the operating lease reclassification from revenue to expense, partially offset by lower expenses from the liquidating and sold portfolios.

        Provision for loan losses decreased as $216 million of loan loss reserves were released during 2004, reflecting the improved credit environment and the continued liquidation of non-core portfolios.

        Deposit and loan volumes declined, primarily due to the liquidation and sales of non-core portfolios.

U.S. Consumer Outlook

        Certain of the statements below are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 95.

        During 2006, the U.S. Consumer businesses will focus on continued expansion of its customer base by opening new branches and offering a more integrated set of products and services. The businesses will also focus on maintaining tight expense control, effective credit management and productivity improvements. Revenues and credit performance will be affected by U.S. economic conditions, including the level of interest rates, bankruptcy filings and unemployment rates.

        In 2006, the U.S. Consumer business is expected to operate in a stable to improving economic environment. Net interest revenue pressure is expected to continue due to the flat yield curve and competitive pricing environment but is not expected to be as pressured as in 2005. Bankruptcy filings are expected to decline significantly from 2005 levels. The credit environment is expected to be stable, in line with underlying trends in delinquency experience and a stable to improving economy. Inflation is expected to remain well-contained.

        U.S. Cards—In 2006, the competitive environment is expected to remain robust and challenging. U.S. Cards expects to generate earnings growth as managed receivables increase and expenses remain controlled through improved productivity levels and opportunities of scale. Growth in managed receivables will be driven by continued brand development, private-label expansion and new product launches. Credit costs will reflect the benefit of lower bankruptcy filings. Credit is expected to be negatively affected by conforming to industry and regulatory guidance regarding minimum payment calculations. This change will result in an increase in delinquencies and credit loss experience, which the business is working to minimize through customer solutions, credit line management, and collection strategies.

        U.S. Retail Distribution—In 2006, U.S. Retail Distribution expects to generate increases in loans, deposits and accounts, which will in turn drive earnings growth. The business will significantly expand its footprint with an aggressive program of new branch openings in both the Citibank and CitiFinancial businesses. The challenging interest rate environment is expected to continue, with a corresponding shift in deposits to lower-profit time deposits and CDs, which will affect both sales and income growth. Credit costs are expected to reflect the benefit of lower bankruptcy filings, while the underlying credit environment is expected to remain stable.

        U.S. Consumer Lending—In 2006, U.S. Consumer Lending expects to generate earnings growth across its product lines. In Real Estate Lending, an expected decline in the level of new housing starts and existing home sales will be mitigated by an increase in the Retail Distribution network of branches, and higher sales from Primerica agents in the Smith Barney network. Results are also expected to reflect improved portfolio earnings and servicing activities. Loan volume growth is forecast in the Student Loan and Auto businesses.

        U.S. Commercial Business—In 2006, earnings growth is expected from continued expansion of the core business portfolio and a stable credit environment.
