2007 YTD vs. 2006 YTD

Net Interest Revenue was 2% better than the prior year, as growth in average deposits and loans of 20% and 10%, respectively, and higher risk-based fees in Cards, was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margins.  Net interest margins declined due to an increase in higher-cost time deposit and e-savings balances, and the securitization of higher margin credit card receivables.

Non-Interest Revenue increased 8% primarily due to higher loan and deposit volumes, and 6% growth in Card purchase sales.  Non-interest revenues also reflected a $161 million net pretax gain on the sale of MasterCard shares, the impact of the acquisition of ABN AMRO Mortgage Group in the first quarter of 2007, and higher gains on sale of mortgage loan and net servicing revenues.  Second quarter of 2006 results also included a $132 million pretax gain from the sale of upstate New York branches.

Operating expenses increased primarily due to acquisitions, increased investment spending related to the 75 new branch openings during the first half of 2007 (45 in CitiFinancial and 30 in Citibank), and costs associated with Citibank Direct.  The increase in 2007 was also favorably affected by the absence of the charge related to the initial adoption of SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006.  Higher volume-related expenses primarily reflected 20% growth in loan originations in Consumer Lending businesses.

Provisions for loan losses and for benefits and claims increased primarily reflecting a change in estimate of loan losses inherent in the U.S. Cards portfolio.  The increase in provision for loan losses also reflected the absence of loan loss reserve releases recorded in the prior year, higher loan volumes, portfolio seasoning and increased delinquencies in

second mortgages, as well as an increase in bankruptcy filings over unusually low filing levels experienced in the first half of 2006.  The net credit loss ratio increased 9 basis points to 1.27%.

The Net income decline in 2007 also reflects the absence of a $175 million tax benefit resulting from the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit from the first quarter of 2006.

2007 YTD vs. 2006 YTD

Net Interest Revenue increased 15% overall, 26% after excluding the impact of Japan Consumer Finance.  Growth was driven by higher average receivables, as well as the impact of the acquisitions of Grupo Financiero Uno, Egg, Grupo Cuscatlan, and CrediCard, and increased ownership in Nikko Cordial.

Non-Interest Revenue increased 16%, primarily due to higher purchase sales, up 28% in Cards, increased investment product sales, up 40% in Retail Banking, and growth across all regions. The positive impact of foreign currency translation and a year-over-year gain on the MasterCard IPO of $53 million also contributed to the increase in revenues.

Operating expenses increased, reflecting the integration of the CrediCard portfolio and the acquisitions of Grupo Financiero Uno, Grupo Cuscatlan, and Egg, and increased ownership in Nikko along with volume growth across the products and regions, continued investment spending driven by 269 branches opened or acquired, higher customer activity, and the impact of foreign currency translation.  The increase in YTD 2007 expenses was also favorably affected by the absence of the charge related to the initial adoption of FAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006.

Provision for loan losses increased 56% driven by portfolio growth, increased past due accounts and portfolio seasoning in Mexico, the integration of acquisitions, and higher net credit losses in Japan Consumer Finance. These increases were partially offset by the absence of a 2006 second quarter loan loss reserve release.

Net Income was also affected by the absence of prior-year tax benefit impact of $190 million primarily resulting from APB 23 and the absence of a prior-year $75 million benefit from tax reserve releases related to the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit in the first quarter of 2006.

2007 YTD vs. 2006 YTD

Revenues, net of interest expense, increased, driven by broad-based performance across products and regions and by the $402 million benefit from the adoption of SFAS 157.   Equity Markets revenues increased, driven by strong growth globally, including cash trading, derivatives products, equity finance, convertibles and prime brokerage.  Fixed Income Markets revenue increases were driven by improved results across all products, including interest rates and currencies, and credit and securitized products and commodities.  Investment Banking revenue growth was driven by higher equity underwriting and advisory and other fees. Transaction Services revenues increased reflecting growth in liability balances and assets under custody, higher net interest margins in Cash Management and Securities and Funds Services.

Operating expenses growth was primarily driven by higher business volumes and compensation costs.  The growth in 2007 was favorably affected by the absence of a $354 million charge related to the initial adoption of SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006 and a $300 million pretax release of litigation reserves in the second quarter of 2007.

The provision for credit losses increased due to a net charge of $286 million in the first quarter of 2007 to increase loan loss reserves.  The increase in loan loss reserves was driven by portfolio growth, which includes higher commitments to leveraged transactions and an increase in average loan tenor.  This was partially offset by a decrease in the second quarter reflecting a stable global corporate credit environment and the absence of a $118 million net increase to loan loss reserves recorded in the prior-year second quarter.

2007 YTD vs. 2006 YTD

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $6.015 billion in the first half of 2007 increased $1.040 billion, or 21%, from the prior-year period, primarily due to a 77% increase in international revenues, driven by the Nikko acquisition, strong Capital Markets activity in Asia and Latin America, and higher domestic syndicate sales.  Net flows were $6 billion compared to ($1) billion in the prior-year first half.

Operating expenses of $4.557 billion in the first half of 2007 increased $541 million from the prior year. The expense increase in 2007 was favorably affected by the absence of the charge related to the initial adoption of SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006 of $145 million.  Additionally, the increase in expenses was driven by the Nikko and Quilter acquisitions and higher variable compensation associated with increased business volumes.

The provision for loan losses increased $16 million, primarily driven by portfolio growth.
