Citigroup (C)

2006 vs. 2005

Total proprietary revenues, net of interest expense, were comprised of revenues from private equity of $1.7 billion, other investment activity of $484 million and hedge funds of $211 million. Private equity revenue declined $820 million from 2005, primarily driven by the absence of prior-year gains from the sale of portfolio assets. Other investment activities revenue increased $26 million from 2005, largely due to realized gains from the liquidation of Citigroup’s investment in MetLife shares and real estate investment returns, partially offset by lower realized gains from the sale of Citigroup’s investment in St. Paul shares. Hedge fund revenue increased $142 million, led by higher investment performance and an increased asset base. Client revenues increased $123 million, reflecting increased management and performance fees from a 39% growth in average client capital under management.

Operating expenses in 2006 increased from 2005, primarily due to higher employee-related expenses including the impact of SFAS 123(R).

Minority interest, net of taxes, declined on the absence of prior-year private equity gains related to underlying investments held by consolidated majority-owned legal entities. The impact of minority interest is reflected in fees, dividends, and interest, and net realized and net change in unrealized gains/(losses) consistent with proceeds received by minority interests.

Proprietary capital under management declined $1.5 billion, primarily driven by the sale of Citigroup’s remaining holdings of St. Paul and MetLife shares and the partial sell-down of Legg Mason shares in the first quarter of 2006, which were partially offset by investments in private equity and hedge funds.

Client capital under management increased $13.1 billion due to inflows from institutional and high-net-worth clients in private equity, real estate and hedge funds.

2005 vs. 2004

Total proprietary revenues, net of interest expense, were comprised of revenues from private equity of $2.6 billion, other investment activity of $458 million and hedge funds of $69 million. Private equity revenue increased $1.2 billion, primarily driven by gains realized through the sale of portfolio investments. Other investment activities revenue increased $364 million, due to realized gains from the sale of a portion of Citigroup’s investment in St. Paul shares, while hedge fund revenue increased $57 million due to a higher net change in unrealized gains on a substantially increased asset base. Client revenues increased $67 million, reflecting increased management fees from 25% growth in client capital under management.

Operating expenses increased due primarily to increased performance-driven compensation and higher investment spending in hedge funds and real estate.

Minority interest, net of tax, increased, primarily due to private equity gains related to underlying investments held by consolidated legal entities. The impact of minority interest is reflected in fees, dividends, and interest, and net realized gains/(losses) consistent with cash proceeds received by minority interest.

Proprietary capital under management increased $4.1 billion, primarily driven by the MetLife and Legg Mason shares acquired during 2005, as well as the funding of proprietary investments in hedge funds and real estate, partially offset by the sale of a portion of Citigroup’s holdings of St. Paul shares.

Client capital under management increased $5.0 billion due to inflows from institutional and high-net-worth clients, and the inclusion of $1.4 billion in assets for the former Travelers Life & Annuities business, following the July 1, 2005 sale to MetLife.
