Securities and Banking

 

·                  Securities and Banking revenues were $6.9 billion, down 7% from the prior year period, as strong trading results were offset by revenue marks of negative $776 million (see Appendix B), and lending revenues of negative $928 million.

 

·                  Investment banking revenues were $1.2 billion, down 13% from the second quarter of 2008, a quarter driven by stronger M&A and equity volumes.

 

·                  Advisory revenues were $130 million, down 50% from the prior year period, primarily as a result of continued overall lower global M&A activity partially offset by improvement in Citigroup’s completed market share.

 

·                  Equity underwriting revenues were $279 million, down 33% from a strong second quarter of 2008 which had significant Citigroup self-led issuances, but up $136 million sequentially.

 

·                  Debt underwriting revenues were $751 million, up 14% from the prior year period, driven by strong investment grade and high yield issuance.

 

·                  Lending revenues were negative $928 million, compared to negative $155 million in the second quarter of 2008, mainly due to losses on credit default swap hedges.

 

·                  Equity markets revenues were $1.1 billion, down 28% from the prior year period, primarily driven by a negative $694 million net CVA on Citigroup liabilities at fair value option and derivative positions (reflected in Appendix B).  The negative net CVA was principally due to tightening in Citigroup credit spreads, partially offset by tightening counterparty spreads.  The negative net CVA offset strong results in derivatives, proprietary trading and cash trading.

 

·                  Fixed income markets revenues were $5.6 billion, up 26% from the comparable period in the prior year, driven by strong results across most fixed income categories reflecting favorable positioning and sustained client activity, partially offset by a decline in commodities trading revenues from the high levels in the second quarter of 2008, and a net negative $126 million CVA  (reflected in Appendix B).

 

·                  Private bank revenues were $477 million, down 20% from the prior year period, on lower assets under management, decreased investment sales and lower average lending volumes, partially offset by wider lending margins.

 

·                  Expenses decreased 25%, to $3.3 billion, driven by reductions in headcount, restructuring charges recorded in the second quarter of 2008 and reductions in other operating expenses.

 

·                  Credit costs were $819 million, up 98% from the prior year period, due to increased credit reserve builds and provisions for unfunded lending commitments, partially offset by lower net credit losses.

 

·                  Securities and Banking net income was $1.9 billion, up 13% from the second quarter of 2008, as expense reductions offset lower revenues and greater credit costs.

Securities and Banking

 

           Securities and Banking revenues were $7.2 billion, driven by positive trading results and lower net write-downs and losses of $2.2 billion (See Schedule B).

 

           Fixed income markets revenues of $4.7 billion reflected strong trading performance, as high volatility and wider spreads in many products created favorable trading opportunities.  Interest rates and currencies and credit products had strong revenue growth.  Revenues also included (all reflected in Schedule B):

 

·                  A net $2.5 billion positive CVA on derivative positions, excluding monolines, mainly due to the widening of Citi’s CDS spreads

 

·                  A net $30 million positive CVA of Citi’s liabilities at fair value option

 

·                  A $541 million benefit related to the revenue accretion of non-credit marks on assets that were moved from fair value accounting to accrual accounting in the fourth quarter 2008.

 

Revenues were partially offset by the following (all reflected in Schedule B):

 

·                  Net write-downs of $2.3 billion on sub-prime related direct exposures.  See details in Schedule C.

 

·                  Private equity and equity investments losses of $1.2 billion.

 

·                  Downward credit value adjustments of $1.1 billion related to exposure to monoline insurers.

 

·                  Net write-downs and impairments of $490 million on Alt-A mortgages.

 

·                  Write-downs of $186 million on commercial real estate positions.

 

           Equity markets revenues increased 94% to $1.9 billion, primarily driven by a net $233 million positive CVA on derivative positions, excluding monolines, as well as a net $150 million positive CVA of Citi’s liabilities at fair value option (both reflected in Schedule B).  Revenues also reflected strength in derivatives, convertibles and equity trading.

 

           Lending revenues declined $948 million to negative $364 million, primarily driven by losses on credit default swap hedges.  Negative revenues also included $247 million of net write-downs and impairments on highly leveraged finance commitments (reflected in Schedule B).

 

           Net investment banking revenues were $1.2 billion versus negative $1.7 billion in the prior-year period.

 

·                  Advisory revenues were $230 million, down 25%, as a result of lower volumes and continued difficult market conditions.

 

·                  Equity underwriting revenues were $194 million, down 15%, reflecting continued low volumes.

·                  Debt underwriting revenues of $847 million were up significantly, primarily due to the absence of write-downs on highly leveraged finance commitments.

 

           Expenses decreased 39% and included a $250 million litigation reserve release.  The prior-year period included a $202 million write-down of the Old Lane intangible asset and $305 million of repositioning charges.  Excluding these items from both periods, expenses declined 25%, driven by lower compensation due to headcount reductions and benefits from re-engineering and expense management.

 

           Credit costs increased significantly to $1.8 billion.  Net credit losses were up $1.4 billion mainly due to LyondellBassell.  The $306 million net loan loss reserve build was driven by a $1.2 billion build for specific counterparties and a $506 million build to reflect a general weakening in the corporate credit environment, largely offset by a $1.4 billion release for specific counterparties, mainly LyondellBassell.

Securities and Banking

 

·             Securities and banking revenues were negative $10.6 billion due to substantial write-downs and losses.

 

·             Fixed income markets revenues of negative $13.4 billion reflected:

 

·                  A $5.3 billion downward credit value adjustment on derivative positions, excluding monolines.  The continued disruption in the credit markets caused counterparty credit spreads to widen, while the TARP capital injection contributed to the tightening of Citi’s credit spreads.  This unusual divergence led to the downward adjustment.

 

·                  Net write-downs of $4.6 billion on sub-prime related direct exposures.  These exposures on December 31, 2008, were comprised of approximately $2.0 billion of gross lending and structuring exposures and approximately $12.0 billion of net ABS CDO super senior exposures (ABS CDO super senior gross exposures of $ 18.9 billion). On September 30, 2008, these exposures were comprised of approximately $3.3 billion of gross lending and structuring exposures and approximately $16.3 billion of net ABS CDO super senior exposures (ABS CDO super senior gross exposures of $25.7 billion).  See details in Schedule E.

 

·                  Private equity and equity investments losses of $2.5 billion.

 

·                  Write-downs of $1.3 billion, net of hedges, on Alt-A mortgages.

 

·                  Write-downs of $1.1 billion on SIV assets.

 

·                  Write-downs of $991 million on commercial real estate positions.

 

·                  Downward credit value adjustments of $897 million related to exposure to monoline insurers.

 

·                  Write-downs of $307 million on ARS proprietary positions and $87 million on positions related to the August 7, 2008 settlement.

·                  Negative revenues were partially offset by a $2.0 billion gain related to the inclusion of Citi’s credit spreads in the determination of the market value of those liabilities for which the fair value option was elected, as well as strong revenues in the interest rate and currency trading business.

 

·    Equity markets revenues decreased by $1.4 billion to negative $650 million.  Revenues generated in cash trading and prime broker were offset by losses in derivatives, convertibles and proprietary trading.

 

·    Lending revenues increased $1.1 billion to $2.1 billion, primarily driven by gains on credit default swap hedges, partially offset by write-downs of $382 million, net of underwriting fees, on funded and unfunded highly leveraged finance commitments.

 

·    Net investment banking revenues declined 79% to $275 million.

 

·                  Advisory revenues were $236 million, down 57%, reflecting continued difficult market conditions.

 

·                  Equity underwriting revenues were $26 million, down $435 million, reflecting continued volatility in the equity markets and extremely low global volumes.

 

·                  Debt underwriting revenues were $56 million, down 86%, primarily driven by net write-downs of $213 million of highly leveraged finance commitments and lower market volumes overall.

 

·    North America results reflect write-downs on sub-prime related direct exposures, Alt-A mortgages and commercial real estate positions, as well as the negative effect from the downward credit value adjustment on derivative positions, excluding monolines.  Negative revenues were partially offset by gains on credit default swap hedges and a strong performance in currency trading.   EMEA revenues increased $4.8 billion, mainly because sub-prime related direct exposures are now managed primarily in North America after being transferred in the second quarter 2008 from EMEA to North America.  EMEA revenues also reflected strong results in currency trading as well as local markets sales and trading.  Latin America revenues declined 31%, reflecting unfavorable market conditions mainly related to equities trading and the mark-to-market impact of wider credit spreads, partially offset by improvements in local markets sales and trading, and lending.  Asia revenues declined $2.6 billion reflecting losses on proprietary investments and difficult market conditions, partially offset by strong performance in rates and currencies.

 

·    Expenses decreased 12%, driven by a significant decrease in salary and incentive compensation due to headcount reductions and cost cutting offset by a $563 million Nikko Asset Management intangible asset impairment charge and a $457 million restructuring charge.

 

·    Credit costs increased significantly, mainly driven by a $2.1 billion incremental net loan loss reserve build.  The loan loss reserve build reflected a $1.5 billion incremental net build to loan loss reserves for specific counterparties, which included $1.2 billion for LyondellBasell, as well as a $0.6 billion incremental net build to reflect a general weakening in the corporate credit environment.

Securities and Banking

 

·                  Fixed income markets recorded negative revenue of $16.9 billion driven by:

 

·                  Write-downs of $17.4 billion, on sub-prime related direct exposures.   These exposures on September 30, 2007 were comprised of approximately $11.7 billion of gross lending and structuring exposures and approximately $42.9 billion of net ABS CDO super senior exposures (ABS CDO super senior gross exposures of $53.4 billion).  On December 31, 2007, sub-prime related direct exposures were comprised of approximately $8.0 billion of gross lending and structuring exposures and approximately $29.3 billion of net ABS CDO super senior exposures (ABS CDO super senior gross exposures of $39.8 billion). See detail in Schedule B on page 12.

 

·                  Lower revenues due to write-downs on non sub-prime securitized products and in fixed income proprietary trading.

 

·                  These results were partially offset by double-digit revenue growth in interest rate and currency trading and commodities.

 

·                  Equity markets revenues declined 18% to $738 million as record revenues in cash trading and strong growth in equity finance were more than offset by weaker performance in derivatives and convertibles, and write-downs in proprietary trading.

·                  Lending revenues increased 88% to $989 million, primarily driven by hedging gains related to the corporate loan portfolio.

 

·                  Net investment banking revenues were $1.3 billion, down 3%.

 

·                  Record advisory and other fees increased 43% to $547 million.  For 2007, Citi ranked #3 in global announced M&A.

 

·                  Equity underwriting revenues were even with the prior-year period.  For 2007, Citi ranked #3 in global equity underwriting.

 

·                  Debt underwriting revenues of $414 million declined 38%, reflecting $205 million of write-downs on funded and unfunded highly leveraged finance commitments, and lower industry-wide underwriting volumes.  The $205 million write-down in highly leveraged finance commitments was partially offset by $70 million of net recoveries on highly leveraged finance commitments recorded in Lending.

 

·                  Operating expenses increased 17%, reflecting higher other operating and administrative expenses offset by a decline in incentive compensation costs.  Other operating and administrative expenses grew primarily due to acquisitions and higher business development costs, and a $370 million pre-tax charge related to headcount reductions.

 

·                  Credit costs increased significantly, primarily driven by $535 million in net credit losses on loans with sub-prime related direct exposure, and a $284 million net charge to increase loan loss and unfunded lending commitment reserves reflecting a slight weakening in overall portfolio credit quality, as well as loan loss reserves for specific counterparties.  The loan loss reserves for specific counterparties includes $169 million for sub-prime related direct exposures.

 

·                  Results also reflected a significant increase in the effective tax rate, primarily due to higher tax-rates in the jurisdictions where the write-downs on sub-prime direct exposures were incurred.

Securities and Banking

Revenue reductions from:

·                  Write-downs of approximately $1.4 billion pre-tax, net of underwriting fees, on funded and unfunded highly leveraged finance commitments.  These commitments totaled $69 billion at the end of the second quarter, and $57 billion at the end of the third quarter.   Write-downs were recorded on all highly leveraged finance commitments where there was value impairment, regardless of the expected funding date.




·                  Losses of approximately $1.3 billion pre-tax, net of hedges, on the value of sub-prime mortgage-backed securities warehoused for future collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) securitizations, CDO positions, and leveraged loans warehoused for future collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) securitizations.

·                  Losses of approximately $600 million pre-tax in fixed income credit trading due to significant market volatility and the disruption of historical pricing relationships.

These revenue reductions were partially offset by lower expenses in Securities and Banking.
