OVERVIEW

Citigroup’s history dates back to the founding of Citibank in 1812. Citigroup’s original corporate predecessor was incorporated in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Following a series of transactions over a number of years, Citigroup Inc. was formed in 1998 upon the merger of Citicorp and Travelers Group Inc.
     Citigroup is a global diversified financial services holding company whose businesses provide consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a broad range of financial products and services. Citi has approximately 200 million customer accounts and does business in more than 160 countries and jurisdictions.
     
Citigroup currently operates, for management reporting purposes, via two primary business segments: Citicorp, consisting of Citi’s Global Consumer Banking businesses and Institutional Clients Group; and Citi Holdings, consisting of Brokerage and Asset Management, Local Consumer Lending and Special Asset Pool. For a further description of the business segments and the products and services they provide, see “Citigroup Segments” below, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
     
Throughout this report, “Citigroup,” “Citi” and “the Company” refer to Citigroup Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
     
Additional information about Citigroup is available on Citi’s Web site at www.citigroup.com. Citigroup’s recent annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, proxy statements, as well as other filings with the SEC, are available free of charge through the Citi’s Web site by clicking on the “Investors” page and selecting “All SEC Filings.” The SEC’s Web site also contains current reports, information statements, and other information regarding Citi at www.sec.gov.
     
Within this Form 10-K, please refer to the tables of contents on pages 3 and 129 for page references to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively.
     
At December 31, 2011, Citi had approximately 266,000 full-time employees compared to approximately 260,000 full-time employees at December 31, 2010.


     Please see “Risk Factors” below for a discussion of
certain risks and uncertainties that could materially impact
Citigroup’s financial condition and results of operations.


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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Market and Economic Environment
During 2011, Citigroup remained focused on executing its strategy of growth through increasing the returns on and investments in its core businesses of Citicorp—Global Consumer Banking and Institutional Clients Group—while continuing to reduce the assets and businesses within Citi Holdings in an economically rational manner. While Citi continued to make progress in these areas during the year, its 2011 operating results were impacted by the ongoing challenging operating environment, particularly in the second half of the year, as macroeconomic concerns, including in the U.S. and the Eurozone, weighed heavily on investor and corporate confidence. Market activity was down globally, with a particular impact on capital markets-related activities in the fourth quarter of 2011. This affected Citigroup’s results of operations in many businesses, including not only Securities and Banking, but also the Securities and Fund Services business in Transaction Services and investment sales in Global Consumer Banking. Citi believes that the European sovereign debt crisis and its potential impact on the global markets and growth will likely continue to create macro uncertainty and remain an issue until the market, investors and Citi’s clients and customers believe that a comprehensive resolution to the crisis is structured, and achievable. Such uncertainty could have a continued negative impact on investor activity, and thus on Citi’s activity levels and results of operations, in 2012.
     Compounding this continuing macroeconomic uncertainty is the ongoing uncertainty facing Citigroup and its businesses as a result of the numerous regulatory initiatives underway, both in the U.S. and internationally. As of December 31, 2011, regulatory changes in significant areas, such as Citi’s future capital requirements and prudential standards, the proposed implementation of the “Volcker Rule” and the proposed regulation of the derivatives markets, were incomplete and significant rulemaking and interpretation remained. See “Risk Factors—Regulatory Risks” below. The continued uncertainty, including the potential costs, associated with the actual implementation of these changes will continue to require significant attention by Citi’s management. In addition, it is also not clear what the cumulative impact of regulatory reform will be.

2011 Summary Results

Citigroup
Citigroup reported net income of $11.1 billion and diluted EPS of $3.63 per share in 2011, compared to $10.6 billion and $3.54 per share, respectively, in 2010. In 2011, results included a net positive impact of $1.8 billion from credit valuation adjustments (CVA) on derivatives (excluding monolines), net of hedges, and debt valuation adjustments (DVA) on Citigroup’s fair value option debt, compared to a net negative impact of $(469) million in 2010. In addition, Citi has adjusted its 2011 results of operations that were previously announced on January 17, 2012 for an additional $209 million (after tax) charge. This charge relates to the agreement in principle with the United States and state attorneys general announced on February 9, 2012 regarding the settlement of a number of investigations into residential loan servicing and origination litigation, as well as the resolution of related mortgage litigation (see Notes 29, 30 and 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Excluding CVA/DVA, Citi’s net income declined $952 million, or 9%, to $9.9 billion in 2011, reflecting lower revenues and higher operating expenses as compared to 2010, partially offset by a significant decline in credit costs.
     Citi’s revenues of $78.4 billion were down $8.2 billion, or 10%, compared to 2010. Excluding CVA/DVA, revenues of $76.5 billion were down $10.5 billion, or 12%, as lower revenues in Citi Holdings and Securities and Banking more than offset growth in Global Consumer Banking and Transaction Services. Net interest revenues decreased by $5.7 billion, or 11%, to $48.4 billion in 2011 as compared to 2010, primarily due to continued declining loan balances and lower interest-earning assets in Citi Holdings. Non-interest revenues, excluding CVA/DVA, declined by $4.8 billion, or 15%, to $28.1 billion in 2011 as compared to 2010, driven by lower revenues in Citi Holdings and Securities and Banking.
     Because of Citi’s extensive global operations, foreign exchange translation also impacts Citi’s results of operations as Citi translates revenues, expenses, loan balances and other metrics from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars in preparing its financial statements. During 2011, the U.S. dollar generally depreciated versus local currencies in which Citi operates. As a result, the impact of foreign exchange translation (as used throughout this Form 10-K, FX translation) accounted for an approximately 1% growth in Citi’s revenues and 2% growth in expenses, while contributing less than 1% to Citi’s pretax net income for the year.



6




Expenses
Citigroup expenses were $50.9 billion in 2011, up $3.6 billion, or 8%, compared to 2010. Over two-thirds of this increase resulted from higher legal and related costs (approximately $1.5 billion) and higher repositioning charges (approximately $200 million, including severance) as compared to 2010, as well as the impact of FX translation (approximately $800 million). Excluding these items, expenses were up $1.0 billion, or 2%, compared to the prior year.
     Investment spending was $3.9 billion higher in 2011, of which roughly half was funded with efficiency savings, primarily in operations and technology, labor reengineering and business support functions (e.g., call centers and collections) of $1.9 billion. The $3.9 billion increase in investment spending in 2011 included higher investments in Global Consumer Banking ($1.6 billion, including incremental cards marketing campaigns and new branch openings), Securities and Banking (approximately $800 million, including new hires and technology investments) and Transaction Services (approximately $600 million, including new mandates and platform enhancements), as well as additional firm-wide initiatives and investments to comply with regulatory requirements. All other expense increases, including higher volume-related costs in Citicorp, were more than offset by a decline in Citi Holdings expenses. While Citi will continue some level of incremental investment spending in its businesses going forward, Citi currently believes these increases in investments will be self-funded through ongoing reengineering and efficiency savings. Accordingly, Citi believes that the increased level of investment spending incurred during the latter part of 2010 and 2011 was largely completed by year end 2011.
     
Citicorp expenses were $39.6 billion in 2011, up $3.5 billion, or 10%, compared to 2010. Over one-third of this increase resulted from higher legal and related costs and higher repositioning charges (including severance) as compared to 2010, as well as the impact of FX translation. The remainder of the increase was primarily driven by investment spending (as described above), partially offset by ongoing productivity savings and other expense reductions.
     
Citi Holdings expenses were $8.8 billion in 2011, down $824 million, or 9%, principally due to the continued decline in assets, partially offset by higher legal and related costs.

Credit Costs
Credit trends for Citigroup continued to improve in 2011, particularly for Citi’s North America Citi-branded and retail partner cards businesses, as well as its North America mortgage portfolios in Citi Holdings, although the pace of improvement in these businesses slowed. Citi’s total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims of $12.8 billion declined $13.2 billion, or 51%, from 2010. Net credit losses of $20.0 billion in 2011 were down $10.8 billion, or 35%, reflecting improvement in both Consumer and Corporate credit trends. Consumer net credit losses declined $10.0 billion, or 35%, to $18.4 billion, driven by continued improvement in credit in North America Citi-branded cards and retail partner cards and North America real estate lending in Citi Holdings. Corporate net credit losses decreased $810 million, or 33%, to $1.6 billion, as credit quality continued to improve in the Corporate portfolio.
     The net release of allowance for loan losses and unfunded lending commitments was $8.2 billion in 2011, compared to a net release of $5.8 billion in 2010. Of the $8.2 billion net reserve release in 2011, $5.9 billion related to Consumer and was mainly driven by North America Citi-branded cards and retail partner cards. The $2.3 billion net Corporate reserve release reflected continued improvement in Corporate credit trends, partially offset by loan growth.
     
More than half of the net credit reserve release in 2011, or $4.8 billion, was attributable to Citi Holdings. The $3.5 billion net credit release in Citicorp increased from $2.2 billion in the prior year, as a higher net release in Citi-branded cards in North America was partially offset by lower net releases in international Regional Consumer Banking and the Corporate portfolio, each driven by loan growth.



7



Capital and Loan Loss Reserve Positions
Citigroup’s capital and loan loss reserve positions remained strong at year end 2011. Citigroup’s Tier 1 Capital ratio was 13.6% and the Tier 1 Common ratio was 11.8%.
     Citigroup’s total allowance for loan losses was $30.1 billion at year end 2011, or 4.7% of total loans, down from $40.7 billion, or 6.3% of total loans, at the end of the prior year. The decline in the total allowance for loan losses reflected asset sales, lower non-accrual loans, and overall continued improvement in the credit quality of Citi’s loan portfolios. The Consumer allowance for loan losses was $27.2 billion, or 6.45%, of total Consumer loans at year end 2011, compared to $35.4 billion, or 7.80%, of total Consumer loans at year end 2010. See details of “Credit Loss Experience—Allowance for Loan Losses” below for additional information on Citi’s loan loss coverage ratios as of December 31, 2011.
     Citigroup’s non-accrual loans of $11.2 billion at year end 2011 declined 42% from the prior year, and the allowance for loan losses represented 268% of non-accrual loans.

Citicorp
Citicorp net income of $14.4 billion in 2011 decreased by $269 million, or 2%, from the prior year. Excluding CVA/DVA, Citicorp’s net income declined $1.6 billion, or 10.6%, to $13.4 billion in 2011, reflecting lower revenues and higher operating expenses, partially offset by the significantly lower credit costs. Asia and Latin America contributed roughly half of Citicorp’s net income for the year.
     
Citicorp revenues were $64.6 billion, down $989 million, or 2%, from 2010. Excluding CVA/DVA, revenues of $62.8 billion were down $3.1 billion, or 5%, as compared to 2010. Net interest revenues decreased by $450 million, or 1%, to $38.1 billion, as lower revenues in North America Regional Consumer Banking and Securities and Banking more than offset growth in Latin America and Asia Regional Consumer Banking and Transaction Services. Non-interest revenues, excluding CVA/DVA, declined by $2.7 billion, or 10%, to $24.7 billion in 2011 as compared to 2010, driven by lower revenues in Securities and Banking.
     
Global Consumer Banking revenues of $32.6 billion were up $211 million year-over-year, as continued growth in Asia and Latin America Regional Consumer Banking was partially offset by lower revenues in North America Regional Consumer Banking. The 2011 results in Global Consumer Banking included continued momentum in Citi’s international regions, as well as early signs of growth in its North America business:

  • International Regional Consumer Banking revenues of $19.0 billion were up 8% year-over-year (5% excluding the impact of FX translation).
  • International average loans were up 15% and average deposits grew 11% (11% and 8% excluding the impact of FX translation, respectively).
  • International card purchase sales grew 19% (13% excluding the impact of FX translation).
  • Asia achieved positive operating leverage (with year-over-year revenue growth in excess of expense growth) in the third and fourth quarters of 2011, and Latin America achieved positive operating leverage in the fourth quarter.
  • North America Regional Consumer Banking grew revenues, card accounts and card loans sequentially in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2011.

     Securities and Banking revenues of $21.4 billion decreased 7% year-over-year. Excluding CVA/DVA (for details on Securities and Banking CVA/DVA amounts, see “Institutional Clients Group—Securities and Banking” below), revenues were $19.7 billion, down 16% from the prior year, due primarily to the continued challenging macroeconomic environment, which resulted in lower revenues across fixed income and equity markets as well as investment banking.
     Fixed income markets revenues, which constituted over 50% of Securities and Banking revenues in 2011, of $10.9 billion, excluding CVA/DVA, decreased 24% in 2011 as compared to 2010, driven primarily by a decline in credit-related and securitized products and, to a lesser extent, a decline in rates and currencies. Equity markets revenues of $2.4 billion, excluding CVA/DVA, were down 35% year-over-year, mainly driven by weak trading performance in equity derivatives as well as losses in equity proprietary trading resulting from the wind down of this business, which was complete as of December 31, 2011. Investment banking revenues of $3.3 billion were down 14% in 2011 as compared to 2010, driven by lower market activity levels across all products. Lending revenues of $1.8 billion were up $840 million, from $962 million in 2010, primarily due to net hedging gains of $73 million in 2011, as compared to net hedging losses of $711 million in 2010, driven by spread tightening in Citi’s lending portfolio.
     
Transaction Services revenues were $10.6 billion in 2011, up 5% from the prior year, driven by growth in Treasury and Trade Solutions as well as Securities and Fund Services. Revenues grew in 2011 in all international regions as strong growth in business volumes was partially offset by continued spread compression. Average deposits and other customer liabilities grew 9% in 2011, while assets under custody remained relatively flat year over year.
     
Citicorp end of period loans increased 14% in 2011 to $465.4 billion, with 7% growth in Consumer loans and 24% growth in Corporate loans.



8



Citi Holdings
Citi Holdings’ net loss of $(2.6) billion in 2011 improved by $1.6 billion as compared to the net loss in 2010. The improvement in 2011 reflected a significant decline in credit costs and lower operating expenses, given the continued decline in assets, partially offset by lower revenues.
     
While Citi Holdings’ impact on Citi has been declining, it will likely continue to present a headwind for Citi’s overall performance due to, among other factors, the lower percentage of interest-earning assets remaining in Citi Holdings, the slower pace of asset reductions and the transfer of the substantial majority of retail partner cards out of Citi Holdings into Citicorp—North America Regional Consumer Banking in the first quarter of 2012. During the first quarter of 2012, Citi will republish its historical segment reporting for Citicorp and Citi Holdings to reflect this transfer in prior periods. The adjusted net loss in Citi Holdings for these historical periods will be higher than previously reported, as the retail partner cards business in Local Consumer Lending was the primary source of profitability in Citi Holdings.
     Citi Holdings’ revenues declined 33% to $12.9 billion from the prior year. Net interest revenues decreased by $4.5 billion, or 30%, to $10.3 billion, primarily due to the decline in assets, including lower interest-earning assets in the
Special Asset Pool. Non-interest revenues declined by $1.9 billion, or 42%, to $2.6 billion in 2011, driven by lower gains on asset sales and other revenue marks as compared to 2010, as well as divestitures.

     Citi Holdings’ assets declined $90 billion, or 25%, to $269 billion at the end of 2011, although Citi believes the pace of asset wind-down in Citi Holdings will decrease going forward. The decline during 2011 reflected nearly $49 billion in asset sales and business dispositions, $35 billion in net run-off and amortization and approximately $6 billion in net cost of credit and net asset marks. As of December 31, 2011, Local Consumer Lending continued to represent the largest segment within Citi Holdings, with $201 billion of assets. Over half of Local Consumer Lending assets, or approximately $109 billion, were related to North America real estate lending. As of December 31, 2011, there were approximately $10 billion of loan loss reserves allocated to North America real estate lending in Citi Holdings, representing roughly 31 months of coincident net credit loss coverage.
     
At the end of 2011, Citi Holdings assets comprised approximately 14% of total Citigroup GAAP assets and 25% of its risk-weighted assets.

(1)      As noted in the “Executive Summary” above, Citi has adjusted its 2011 results of operations that were previously announced on January 17, 2012 for an additional $209 million (after tax) charge. This charge relates to the agreement in principle with the United States and state attorneys general announced on February 9, 2012 regarding the settlement of a number of investigations into residential loan servicing and origination litigation, as well as the resolution of related mortgage litigation. The impact of these adjustments was a $275 million (pretax) increase in Other operating expenses, a $209 million (after-tax) reduction in Net income and a $0.06 (after-tax) reduction in Diluted earnings per share, for the full year of 2011. See Notes 29, 30 and 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2) On January 1, 2010, Citigroup adopted SFAS 166/167. Prior periods have not been restated as the standards were adopted prospectively. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3) On January 1, 2009, Citigroup adopted SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (now ASC 810-10-45-15, Consolidation: Noncontrolling Interest in a Subsidiary), and FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (now ASC 260-10-45-59A, Earnings Per Share: Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method). All prior periods have been restated to conform to the current period’s presentation.
(4) Discontinued operations for 2007 to 2009 reflect the sale of Nikko Cordial Securities to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, the sale of Citigroup’s German retail banking operations to Crédit Mutuel, and the sale of CitiCapital’s equipment finance unit to General Electric. Discontinued operations for 2007 to 2010 also include the operations and associated gain on sale of Citigroup’s Travelers Life & Annuity, substantially all of Citigroup’s international insurance business, and Citigroup’s Argentine pension business sold to MetLife Inc. Discontinued operations for the second half of 2010 also reflect the sale of The Student Loan Corporation and, for 2011, primarily reflect the sale of the Egg Banking PLC credit card business. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(5) The diluted EPS calculation for 2009 and 2008 utilizes basic shares and income allocated to unrestricted common stockholders (Basic) due to the negative income allocated to unrestricted common stockholders. Using diluted shares and income allocated to unrestricted common stockholders (Diluted) would result in anti-dilution.
(6) All per share amounts and Citigroup shares outstanding for all periods reflect Citigroup’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which was effective May 6, 2011.
(7) The return on average common stockholders’ equity is calculated using net income less preferred stock dividends divided by average common stockholders’ equity. The return on average total Citigroup stockholders’ equity is calculated using net income divided by average Citigroup stockholders’ equity.
(8) As defined by the banking regulators, the Tier 1 Common ratio represents Tier 1 Capital less qualifying perpetual preferred stock, qualifying noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and qualifying mandatorily redeemable securities of subsidiary trusts divided by risk-weighted assets.
(9) The Leverage ratio represents Tier 1 Capital divided by adjusted average total assets.
(10) Dividends declared per common share as a percentage of net income per diluted share.

2011 vs. 2010
Net income increased $1.9 billion as compared to the prior year, driven by higher loan loss reserve releases and an improvement in net credit losses, partly offset by lower revenues and higher expenses. Citi does not expect the same level of loan loss reserve releases in NA RCB in 2012 as it believes credit costs in the business have generally stabilized.

     Revenues decreased 8% mainly due to lower net interest margin and loan balances in the Citi-branded cards business as well as lower mortgage-related revenues, primarily relating to lower refinancing activity and lower margins as compared to the prior year.

     Net interest revenue decreased 8%, driven primarily by lower cards net interest margin which was negatively impacted by the look-back provision of The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD Act). As previously disclosed, the look-back provision of the CARD Act generally requires a review to be done once every six months for card accounts where the annual percentage rate (APR) has been increased since January 1, 2009 to assess whether changes in credit risk, market conditions or other factors merit a future decline in the APR. In addition, net interest margin for cards was negatively impacted by higher promotional balances and lower total average loans. As a result, cards net interest revenue as a percentage of average loans decreased to 9.48% from 10.28% in the prior year. Citi expects margin growth to remain under pressure into 2012 given the continued investment spending in the business during 2012, which largely began in the second half of 2011.
     Non-interest revenue decreased 9%, primarily due to lower gains from the sale of mortgage loans as Citi held more loans on-balance sheet. In addition, the decline in non-interest revenue reflected lower banking fee income.
     Expenses increased 19%, primarily driven by the higher investment spending in the business during the second half of 2011, particularly in cards marketing and technology, and increases in litigation accruals related to the interchange litigation (see Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
     Provisions decreased $5.5 billion, or 71%, primarily due to a loan loss reserve release of $2.7 billion in 2011, compared to a loan loss reserve release of $0.3 billion in 2010, and lower net credit losses in the Citi-branded cards portfolio. Cards net credit losses were down $3.0 billion, or 39%, from 2010, and the net credit loss ratio decreased 366 basis points to 6.36% for 2011. The decline in credit costs was driven by improving credit conditions as well as continued stricter underwriting criteria, which lowered the cards risk profile. As referenced above, Citi believes the improvements in, and Citi’s resulting benefit from, declining credit costs in NA RCB will likely slow into 2012.

2010 vs. 2009
     Net income declined by $139 million, or 18%, as compared to the prior year, driven by higher credit costs due to Citi’s adoption of SFAS 166/167, partially offset by higher revenues.
     Revenues increased 72% from the prior year, primarily due to the consolidation of securitized credit card receivables pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 166/167 effective January 1, 2010. On a comparable basis, revenues declined 3% from the prior year, mainly due to lower volumes in Citi-branded cards as well as the net impact of the CARD Act on cards revenues. This decrease was partially offset by better mortgage-related revenues driven by higher refinancing activity.
     Net interest revenue was down 6% on a comparable basis driven primarily by lower volumes in cards, with average managed loans down 7% from the prior year, and in retail banking, where average loans declined 11%. The decline in cards was driven by the stricter underwriting criteria referenced above as well as the impact of CARD Act. The increase in deposit volumes, up 3% from the prior year, was offset by lower spreads due to the then-current interest rate environment.
     Non-interest revenue increased 6% on a comparable basis from the prior year mainly driven by better servicing hedge results and higher gains on sale from the sale of mortgage loans.
     Expenses increased 5% from the prior year, driven by the impact of higher litigation accruals, primarily in the first quarter of 2010, and higher marketing costs.
     Provisions increased $6.0 billion, primarily due to the consolidation of securitized credit card receivables pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 166/167. On a comparable basis, provisions decreased $0.9 billion, or 11%, primarily due to a net loan loss reserve release of $0.3 billion in 2010 compared to a $0.5 billion loan loss reserve build in the prior year coupled with lower net credit losses in the cards portfolio. Also on a comparable basis, the cards net credit loss ratio increased 61 basis points to 10.02%, driven by lower average loans.

2011 vs. 2010
Net income declined 14% as compared to the prior year as an improvement in net credit losses was partially offset by lower revenues and higher expenses from increased investment spending. During 2011, the U.S. dollar generally depreciated versus local currencies. As a result, the impact of FX translation accounted for an approximately 1% growth in revenues and expenses, respectively.
     Revenues declined 2% driven by the continued liquidation of higher yielding non-strategic customer portfolios and a lower contribution from Akbank, Citi’s equity investment in Turkey. The revenue decline was partly offset by the impact of FX translation and improved underlying trends in the core lending portfolio, discussed below.
    
Net interest revenue declined 3% due to the continued decline in the higher yielding non-strategic retail banking portfolio and spread compression in the Citi-branded cards portfolio. Interest rate caps on credit cards, particularly in Turkey and Poland, contributed to the lower spreads in the cards portfolio.

     Non-interest revenue increased 1%, reflecting higher investment sales and cards fees, partly offset by the lower contribution from Akbank. Underlying drivers continued to show growth as investment sales grew 28% from the prior year and cards purchase sales grew 14%.
    
Expenses increased 9%, due to the impact of FX translation, investment spending and higher transactional expenses, partly offset by continued savings initiatives. Expenses could remain at elevated levels in 2012 given continued investment spending.
    
Provisions were 71% lower than the prior year driven by a reduction in net credit losses. Net credit losses decreased 46%, reflecting the continued credit quality improvement during the year, stricter underwriting criteria and the move to lower risk products. Loan loss reserve releases were flat. Assuming the underlying core portfolio continues to grow and season in 2012, Citi expects credit costs to rise.

2010 vs. 2009
Net income improved by $313 million, driven by the reduction in credit costs, partly offset by lower revenues and higher expenses. During 2010, the U.S. dollar generally appreciated versus local currencies. As a result, the impact of FX translation accounted for an approximately 1% decline in revenues and expenses, respectively.
     Revenues declined 3% driven by FX translation and the continued liquidation of non-strategic customer portfolios. Net interest revenue was 5% lower due to the continued decline in the higher yielding non-strategic retail banking portfolio. In 2010, Citi focused its lending strategy around higher credit quality customers who tend to revolve less, meaning they have lower average balances than customers previously had. While this led to lower credit costs, it also negatively impacted Net interest revenue as customers paid off their loans more quickly. Non-interest revenue increased 1%, reflecting higher investment sales and a higher contribution from Citi’s equity investment in Akbank.
    
Expenses increased 5%, due to account acquisition-focused investment spending and volumes. As the average customer credit quality improved, Citi focused on volume growth to compensate for the lower revenue. The expansion of the sales force in 2010 drove some of the expense increase as compared to 2009.
    
Provisions decreased 75% from the prior year driven by reduction in net credit losses and higher loan loss reserve releases. Net credit losses decreased 33%, reflecting continued credit quality improvement and the move to lower risk products.
