GLOBAL CORPORATE PORTFOLIO REVIEW

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

See “Non-Accrual Loans” on page 55 for details on the corporate non-accrual portfolio.

There is no industry-wide definition of non-performing assets. As such, analysis against the industry is not always comparable. The following table summarizes corporate non-accrual loans, which are a part of the Company’s non-performing assets, and net credit losses.

(2) Represents additional reserves recorded in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3) Does not include the allowance for unfunded lending commitments.

Cash-basis loans on December 31, 2008 increased $7.811 billion from 2007, of which $5.457 billion was in EMEA and $1.870 billion was in North America. This increase is primarily attributable to the transfer of non-accrual loans from the held-for-sale portfolio to the held-for-investment portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2008. These loans were previously accounted for on a LOCOM basis and were transferred at their carrying value, which was net of any write-downs previously recorded. If, instead of recording direct markdowns, the loans were included in the loan balance at par and the markdowns were included in reserves, the ratio of corporate allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans would have been approximately 100%.

Cash-basis loans on December 31, 2007 increased $1.223 billion from 2006 primarily due to the impact of subprime activity in the U.K. and U.S. markets.

Total corporate loans outstanding at December 31, 2008 were $175 billion compared to $186 billion at December 31, 2007.

Total NCL of $1.773 billion in 2008 increased $1.102 billion from 2007, primarily due to significant write-downs reflecting the continued weakening

of the economy. Total corporate net credit losses of $671 million in 2007 increased $589 million from 2006, primarily related to the $535 million in write-offs on loans with subprime-related direct exposure.

Citigroup’s total allowance for loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments of $30.503 billion is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citigroup’s allowance for credit losses attributed to the corporate portfolio was $8.137 billion at December 31, 2008, $4.974 billion at December 31, 2007 and $4.034 billion at December 31, 2006. The $3.163 billion increase in the corporate allowance at December 31, 2008 from December 31, 2007 primarily reflects a weakening in overall portfolio credit quality, as well as loan-loss reserves for specific counterparties. The $940 million increase in the corporate allowance at December 31, 2007 from December 31, 2006 primarily reflects a weakening in overall portfolio credit quality, as well as loan-loss reserves for specific counterparties. The loan-loss reserves for specific counterparties include $327 million for subprime-related direct exposures. 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.

Cash-basis loans on December 31, 2007 increased $1.223 billion from 2006, of which $1.230 billion was in Securities and Banking. The increase in Securities and Banking was primarily due to the impact of subprime activity in the U.K. and U.S. markets.

Cash-basis loans on December 31, 2006 decreased $469 million from 2005; $423 million of the decrease was in Securities and Banking and $46 million was in Transaction Services. Securities and Banking decreased primarily due to the absence of cash-basis portfolios in Russia and Australia and decreases in portfolios in Poland and Korea. The decrease in Transaction Services was primarily related to decreases in Mexico.

Total corporate loans outstanding at December 31, 2007 were $186 billion as compared to $166 billion at December 31, 2006.

Total corporate net credit losses of $668 million in 2007 increased $586 million from 2006, primarily due to $535 million in write-offs on loans with

subprime-related direct exposure. Total corporate net credit losses of $82 million in 2006 increased $359 million compared to the net credit recovery of $277 million in 2005, primarily attributable to the absence of gross credit recoveries experienced in 2005.

Citigroup’s total allowance for loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments of $17.367 billion is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citigroup’s allowance for credit losses attributed to the corporate portfolio was $4.973 billion at December 31, 2007, $4.034 billion at December 31, 2006, and $3.710 billion at December 31, 2005. The $939 million increase in the corporate allowance at December 31, 2007 from December 31, 2006 primarily reflects a weakening in overall portfolio credit quality, as well as loan loss reserves for specific counterparties. The loan loss reserves for specific counterparties include $327 million for subprime-related direct exposures. The $324 million increase in the corporate allowance at December 31, 2006 from December 31, 2005 primarily reflects $250 million in reserve builds related to increases in off-balance-sheet exposures and a slight decline in credit quality. 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.

(1) Excludes purchased distressed loans as they are accreting interest in accordance with SOP 03-3 in 2005. In prior years, these loans were classified in Other Assets. The carrying value of these loans was $949 million at December 31, 2006, $1,120 million at December 31, 2005 and $1,213 million at December 31, 2004.
(2) Represents additional reserves recorded in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3) Does not include the allowance for unfunded lending commitments.

 

Cash-basis loans on December 31, 2006 decreased $469 million from 2005; $423 million of the decrease was in Capital Markets and Banking and $46 million was in Transaction Services. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to the absence of cash-basis portfolios in Russia and Australia and decreases in portfolios in Poland and Korea. The decrease in Transaction Services was primarily related to decreases in Mexico.

Cash-basis loans decreased $902 million in 2005 due to decreases of $871 million in Capital Markets and Banking and $31 million in Transaction Services. Capital Markets and Banking primarily reflected decreases in Brazil, Argentina, KorAm and Europe. Transaction Services decreased primarily due to charge-offs in Brazil.

Total corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) was $316 million, $150 million and $126 million at December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. The $166 million increase from December 31, 2005 reflects net foreclosures in the U.S. real estate portfolio.

Total corporate loans outstanding at December 31, 2006 were $166 billion as compared to $129 billion at December 31, 2005.

Total corporate net credit losses of $82 million in 2006 increased $359 million compared to the net credit recovery of $277 million in 2005, primarily attributable to the absence of gross credit recoveries experienced in 2005. Total corporate net credit recoveries of $277 million in 2005 improved $407 million compared to 2004 as higher recoveries more than offset credit losses.

Citigroup’s total allowance for credit losses for loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments of $10.040 billion at December 31, 2006 is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire Company’s portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citigroup’s allowance for credit losses attributed to the corporate portfolio was $4.034 billion at December 31, 2006, $3.710 billion at December 31, 2005, and $3.490 billion at December 31, 2004. The $324 million increase in the corporate allowance at December 31, 2006 from December 31, 2005 primarily reflects $250 million in reserve builds related to increases in off-balance sheet exposures and a slight decline in credit quality. The $220 million increase in the corporate allowance at December 31, 2005 from December 31, 2004 primarily reflects an increase in the allowance for unfunded lending commitments based on portfolio growth and the deterioration of the underlying portfolio. 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.
