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

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    Third Quarter of 2019—Results Demonstrated Continued Progress
    As described further throughout this Executive Summary, during the third quarter of 2019, Citi continued to demonstrate steady progress toward improving its profitability and returns, despite macroeconomic headwinds:

    •
    Citi had solid underlying revenue growth in every region in Global Consumer Banking (GCB), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes (FX translation), as well as a pretax gain on sale of approximately $250 million of an asset management business in the third quarter of 2018 in Latin America.
    •
    Citi had balanced performance in the Institutional Clients Group (ICG), with solid results in treasury and trade solutions, investment banking and the private bank, while fixed income markets revenues were largely unchanged and equity markets revenues were negatively impacted by a challenging environment.
    •Citi continued to demonstrate expense and credit discipline.
    •
    Citi had broad-based loan and deposit growth across GCB and ICG.
    •Citi continued to return capital to its shareholders, including $6.3 billion in the form of common stock dividends as well as repurchases totaling 76 million common shares, contributing to a 10% reduction in average outstanding common shares from the prior-year period.
    •Despite progress in returning capital to shareholders, Citi’s key regulatory capital metrics remained strong.

    While global growth has continued, economic forecasts for 2019 have been lowered and various economic, political and other risks and uncertainties could create a more volatile operating environment and impact Citi’s businesses and future results. For a discussion of risks and uncertainties that could impact Citi’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition during the remainder of 2019, see each respective business’s results of operations and “Forward-Looking Statements” below, as well as each respective business’s results of operations and the “Managing Global Risk” and “Risk Factors” sections in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


     


    Third Quarter of 2019 Results Summary

    Citigroup
    Citigroup reported net income of $4.9 billion, or $2.07 per share, compared to net income of $4.6 billion, or $1.73 per share, in the prior-year period. Net income increased 6% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by a lower effective tax rate and higher revenues, partially offset by higher expenses and cost of credit. Earnings per share increased 20%, primarily driven by the 10% reduction in average shares outstanding due to the common stock repurchases, and the lower effective tax rate. Results for the third quarter of 2019 include a net benefit of approximately $0.10 per share related to discrete tax items, including an approximate $180 million benefit from a reduction in Citi’s valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets (see “Income Taxes—DTA Valuation Allowance (VA) Release” below).
    Citigroup revenues of $18.6 billion in the third quarter of 2019 increased 1% from the prior-year period, or 2% excluding the gain on sale, reflecting higher revenues across GCB and ICG, partially offset by lower revenues in Corporate/Other.
    Citigroup’s end-of-period loans increased 2% to $692 billion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup’s end-of-period loans grew 4%, as 5% aggregate growth in GCB and ICG was partially offset by the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate/Other. Citigroup’s end-of-period deposits increased 8% to $1.1 trillion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup’s end-of-period deposits increased 9%, primarily driven by 11% growth in ICG and 5% growth in GCB. (Citi’s results of operations excluding the gain on sale as well as the impact of FX translation are non-GAAP financial measures.)

    Expenses
    Citigroup operating expenses of $10.5 billion increased 1% versus the prior-year period, as efficiency savings and the wind-down of legacy assets were more than offset by volume-driven growth and continued investments in the franchise. Year-over-year, GCB operating expenses were down 2%, while ICG and Corporate/Other expenses increased 4% and 6%, respectively.

    Cost of Credit
    Citi’s total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims of $2.1 billion increased 6% from the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher net credit losses in both Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services in North America GCB, partially offset by a lower net loan loss reserve build.
    Net credit losses of $1.9 billion increased 9% versus the prior-year period. Consumer net credit losses of $1.8 billion increased 6% from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting

    3



    volume growth and seasoning in the North America cards portfolios. Corporate net credit losses increased to $89 million from $30 million in the prior-year period.
    For additional information on Citi’s consumer and corporate credit costs and allowance for loan losses, see each respective business’s results of operations and “Credit Risk” below.

    Capital
    Citigroup’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital ratio was 11.6% as of September 30, 2019, compared to 11.7% as of September 30, 2018, based on the Basel III Standardized Approach for determining risk-weighted assets. The decline in the ratio primarily reflected the return of capital to common shareholders and an increase in risk-weighted assets, partially offset by net income. Citigroup’s Supplementary Leverage ratio as of September 30, 2019 was 6.3%, compared to 6.5% as of September 30, 2018. For additional information on Citi’s capital ratios and related components, see “Capital Resources” below.

    Global Consumer Banking
    GCB net income of $1.6 billion increased 1%. Excluding the impact of FX translation, net income increased 2%, driven by higher revenues and lower expenses, partially offset by higher cost of credit. GCB operating expenses of $4.6 billion decreased 2% versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, expenses decreased 1%, as efficiency savings more than offset continued investments in the franchise and volume-driven growth.
    GCB revenues of $8.7 billion were largely unchanged versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation and the gain on sale in the prior-year period in Latin America GCB, revenues increased 4%, driven by growth in all three regions. North America GCB revenues of $5.4 billion increased 4%, primarily driven by growth in Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services, partially offset by retail banking revenues. In North America GCB, Citi-branded cards revenues of $2.3 billion increased 11%, primarily driven by continued growth in interest-earning balances. Citi retail services revenues of $1.7 billion increased 1% versus the prior-year period, driven by organic loan growth. Retail banking revenues of $1.3 billion decreased 2% versus the prior-year period, as the benefit of stronger deposit volumes was more than offset by lower deposit spreads.
    North America GCB average deposits of $186 billion increased 3% year-over-year, average retail banking loans of $59 billion increased 5% year-over-year and assets under management of $69 billion grew 8%. Average Citi-branded card loans of $91 billion increased 3%, while Citi-branded card purchase sales of $94 billion increased 7% versus the prior-year period. Average Citi retail services loans of $50 billion increased 1% versus the prior-year period, while Citi retail services purchase sales of $22 billion decreased 2%. For additional information on the results of operations of North America GCB for the third quarter of 2019, see “Global Consumer Banking—North America GCB” below.
    International GCB revenues (consisting of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB (which includes the results of operations
     
    in certain EMEA countries)), of $3.3 billion declined 6% versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation and the gain on sale, international GCB revenues increased 4% versus the prior-year period. On this basis, Latin America GCB revenues increased 3% versus the prior-year period, primarily driven by an increase in cards revenues and improved deposit spreads. Asia GCB revenues increased 5%, driven by higher deposit and investment revenues. For additional information on the results of operations of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB for the third quarter of 2019, including the impact of FX translation, see “Global Consumer Banking—Latin America GCB” and “Global Consumer Banking—Asia GCB” below.
    Year-over-year, international GCB average deposits of $130 billion increased 4%, average retail banking loans of $90 billion increased 2%, assets under management of $109 billion increased 6%, average card loans of $24 billion increased 3% and card purchase sales of $27 billion increased 7%, all excluding the impact of FX translation.

    Institutional Clients Group
    ICG net income of $3.2 billion increased 1%, primarily driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher expenses and cost of credit. ICG operating expenses increased 4% to $5.4 billion, primarily driven by investments, volume growth and higher compensation costs, partially offset by efficiency savings.
    ICG revenues of $9.5 billion increased 3%, reflecting a 5% increase in Banking revenues and a 1% increase in Markets and securities services revenues. The increase in Banking revenues included the impact of $33 million of losses on loan hedges within corporate lending, compared to losses of $106 million in the prior-year period.
    Banking revenues of $5.0 billion (excluding the impact of gains (losses) on loan hedges within corporate lending) increased 3%, as growth in treasury and trade solutions, investment banking and the private bank were partially offset by lower revenues in corporate lending. Investment banking revenues of $1.2 billion increased 4%, largely reflecting continued strength in debt underwriting and solid results in advisory, particularly in EMEA. Advisory revenues increased 5% to $276 million, equity underwriting revenues decreased 5% to $247 million and debt underwriting revenues increased 7% to $705 million.
    Treasury and trade solutions revenues of $2.4 billion increased 6% versus the prior-year period, and 7% excluding the impact of FX translation, reflecting strong client engagement and growth in transaction volumes, partially offset by spread compression. Private bank revenues of $867 million increased 2%, driven by higher lending and deposit volumes as well as higher investment activity with both new and existing clients, partially offset by spread compression. Corporate lending revenues increased 8% to $494 million. Excluding the impact of gains (losses) on loan hedges, corporate lending revenues decreased 6%, reflecting lower spreads and higher hedging costs.
    Markets and securities services revenues of $4.5 billion increased 1% from the prior-year period. Fixed income markets revenues of $3.2 billion were largely unchanged from

    4



    the prior-year period, with improved activity with both corporate and investor clients and strength in rates and currencies, particularly G10 rates. Equity markets revenues of $760 million decreased 4%, reflecting lower client activity and lower balances in prime finance, partially offset by strong client activity in derivatives. Securities services revenues of $664 million decreased 1% versus the prior-year period, but increased 2% excluding the impact of FX translation, reflecting higher volumes from new and existing clients. For additional information on the results of operations of ICG for the third quarter of 2019, see “Institutional Clients Group” below.

    Corporate/Other
    Corporate/Other net income was $167 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a net loss of $68 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the benefit of a discrete tax item and a pretax loss in the current period. Operating expenses of $485 million increased 6% from the prior-year period, largely reflecting higher infrastructure costs, partially offset by the continued wind-down of legacy assets. Corporate/Other revenues of $402 million decreased 18% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by the continued wind-down of legacy assets. For additional information on the results of operations of Corporate/Other for the third quarter of 2019, see “Corporate/Other” below.

    (5)Citi’s reportable Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital and Tier 1 Capital ratios were the lower derived under the U.S. Basel III Standardized Approach, whereas the reportable Total Capital ratio was the lower derived under the U.S. Basel III Advanced Approaches framework. This reflects the U.S. Basel III requirement to report the lower of risk-based capital ratios under both the Standardized Approach and Advanced Approaches in accordance with the Collins Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Act.
    (6)Dividends declared per common share as a percentage of net income per diluted share.

    3Q19 vs. 3Q18
    Net income increased 9%, as higher revenues and lower expenses were partially offset by higher cost of credit.
    Revenues increased 4%, reflecting growth in Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services, partially offset by lower retail banking revenues.
    Retail banking revenues decreased 2%, as the benefit of stronger deposit volumes was more than offset by lower deposit spreads, reflecting lower interest rates. Average deposits increased 3% and assets under management increased 8%. Citi expects that retail banking revenues will likely continue to be impacted by the lower interest rate environment in the near term.
    Cards revenues increased 7%. In Citi-branded cards, revenues increased 11%, primarily driven by continued growth in interest-earning balances. Average loans increased 3% and purchase sales increased 7%.
    Citi retail services revenues increased 1%, primarily driven by organic loan growth. Average loans increased 1%, while purchase sales decreased 2%.
    Expenses decreased 2%, as efficiency savings more than offset ongoing investments and higher volume-related expenses.
    Provisions increased 12% from the prior-year period, driven by higher net credit losses and a higher net loan loss reserve build. Net credit losses increased 9%, primarily driven by higher net credit losses in Citi-branded cards (up 11% to $712 million) and Citi retail services (up 6% to $598 million). The increase in net credit losses primarily reflected volume growth and seasoning in both cards portfolios.
    The net loan loss reserve build in the current quarter was $174 million, reflecting volume growth and seasoning in both cards portfolios (compared to a build of $121 million in the prior-year period).
    For additional information on North America GCB’s retail banking, including commercial banking, and its Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services portfolios, see “Credit Risk—Consumer Credit” below.

    2019 YTD vs. 2018 YTD
    Year-to-date, North America GCB experienced similar trends to those described above. Net income was largely unchanged, as higher revenues were offset by higher cost of credit, while expenses were largely unchanged.
    Revenues increased 3%.

Retail banking revenues were largely unchanged. Cards revenues increased 4% (5% excluding the Hilton gain). In Citi-branded cards, revenues increased 5% (8% excluding the Hilton gain), driven by the same factors described above. Citi retail services revenues increased 2%, driven by organic loan growth and the benefit of the L.L.Bean portfolio acquisition.
    Expenses were largely unchanged, as efficiency savings were offset by ongoing investments and higher volume-related expenses.
    Provisions increased 10%. Net credit losses increased 10%, driven by volume growth and seasoning in both cards portfolios. The net loan loss reserve build increased 2% from the prior-year period, driven by the same factors described above.

Presentations of the results of operations, excluding the impact of FX translation, are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of certain of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.

    3Q19 vs. 3Q18
    Net income decreased 25%, reflecting lower revenues, partially offset by lower expenses and lower cost of credit.
    Revenues decreased 13%, including a gain on sale (approximately $250 million) of an asset management business in the prior-year period. Excluding the gain on sale, revenues increased 3%, primarily driven by an increase in cards revenues and improved deposit spreads.
    Retail banking revenues decreased 20%. Excluding the gain on sale, retail banking revenues increased 1%, as improved deposit spreads were largely offset by lower average loans (down 2%), reflecting the ongoing slowdown in overall economic growth and industry volumes in Mexico. Average deposits were up 2%. Cards revenues increased 7%, primarily driven by continued volume growth, reflecting higher purchase sales (up 6%) and full-rate revolving loans, as well as higher rates. Average cards loans grew 2%.
    Expenses decreased 2%, as efficiency savings more than offset ongoing investment spending and volume-driven growth.
    Provisions decreased 16%, primarily driven by a modest net loan loss reserve release (compared to a net loan loss reserve build in the prior-year period) and lower net credit losses, reflecting lower volumes.

    (1)Credit derivatives are used to economically hedge a portion of the corporate loan portfolio that includes both accrual loans and loans at fair value. Gains (losses) on loan hedges include the mark-to-market on the credit derivatives and the mark-to-market on the loans in the portfolio that are at fair value. The fixed premium costs of these hedges are netted against the corporate lending revenues to reflect the cost of credit protection. Citigroup’s results of operations excluding the impact of gains (losses) on loan hedges are non-GAAP financial measures.

    (3)
    Excludes principal transactions revenues of ICG businesses other than Markets, primarily treasury and trade solutions and the private bank.
    (4)
    Citi assesses its Markets business performance on a total revenue basis, as offsets may occur across revenue line items. For example, securities that generate Net interest revenue may be risk managed by derivatives that are recorded in Principal transactions revenue. For a description of the composition of these revenue line items, see Notes 4, 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
    NM Not meaningful

    The discussion of the results of operations for ICG below excludes (where noted) the impact of gains (losses) on hedges of accrual loans, which are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.

    3Q19 vs. 3Q18
    Net income increased 1%, as revenue growth was partially offset by higher expenses and higher cost of credit.

    •
    Revenues were up 3%, primarily reflecting higher Banking revenues (increase of 5%, including the impact of the gains (losses) on loan hedges) and higher Markets and securities services revenues (increase of 1%). Excluding the impact of the gains (losses) on loan hedges, Banking revenues were up 3%, driven by higher revenues in treasury and trade solutions, investment banking and the private bank, partially offset by lower revenues in corporate lending. Markets and securities services revenues were up 1%, although fixed income markets revenues were largely unchanged and equity markets revenues decreased.
    Citi expects that ICG’s revenues will likely be impacted by the lower interest rate environment in the near term.

    Within Banking:

    •
    Investment banking revenues increased 4%, outperforming the market wallet, as strength in debt underwriting and advisory revenues more than offset lower equity underwriting revenues. Advisory revenues increased 5%, primarily driven by strength in EMEA. Equity underwriting revenues decreased 5%, driven by a decline in market share in the quarter, while share is up year-to-date. Debt underwriting revenues increased 7%, reflecting gains in wallet share, particularly in investment-grade underwriting.
    •
    Treasury and trade solutions revenues increased 6%. Excluding the impact of FX translation, revenues increased 7%, driven by growth in both the cash and trade businesses, reflecting both higher net interest and fee revenues. Average deposit balances increased 10% (11% excluding the impact of FX translation), reflecting strong growth across all regions. Revenue growth in the cash business reflected continued growth in deposits and transaction volumes, partially offset by spread compression. Revenue growth in the trade business was driven primarily by improved loan spreads and higher episodic fees, modestly offset by lower average trade loans (for additional information, see “Liquidity Risk—Loans” below).
    •
    Corporate lending revenues increased 8%. Excluding the impact of gains (losses) on loan hedges, revenues
     
    decreased 6%, driven by lower spreads and higher hedging costs.
    •
    Private bank revenues increased 2%, reflecting growth in North America and Asia, partially offset by lower revenues in EMEA. The increase in revenues reflected strong client activity, which drove higher loan and deposit volumes and higher investments revenues, partially offset by spread compression.

    Within Markets and securities services:

    •
    Fixed income markets revenues were largely unchanged, as lower revenues in North America were offset by higher revenues in EMEA, Asia and Latin America. Net interest revenues declined due to a change in the mix of trading positions in support of client activity. This decrease was offset by higher non-interest revenues, reflecting higher corporate and investor client activity in both rates and flow products.
    Rates and currencies revenues increased 6%, primarily driven by higher revenues in G10 rates and local markets rates and currencies. The increase in G10 rates revenues was driven by higher revenues in North America, reflecting a more favorable operating environment along with higher investor client activity. The increase in local markets rates and currencies revenues reflected higher corporate and investor client activity, given improved currency volatility.
    Spread products and other fixed income revenues decreased 16%, as higher client activity in flow products and financing was more than offset by a continued challenging market environment in structured products, particularly in North America.
    •
    Equity markets revenues decreased 4%, primarily reflecting lower revenues in prime finance, partially offset by higher revenues in equity derivatives, while revenues in cash equities were largely unchanged. Prime finance revenues declined across all regions, reflecting lower client activity and lower balances. Equity derivatives revenues increased, reflecting strong investor and corporate client activity as well as improved volatility. Net interest revenues decreased, partially offset by higher principal transactions revenues, reflecting a change in the mix of trading positions in support of client activity.
    •
    Securities services revenues decreased 1%. Excluding the impact of FX translation, revenues increased 2%, driven

    20


    by higher client volumes as well as higher interest rates in emerging markets.

    Expenses increased 4%, as investments, volume-related growth and higher compensation costs were partially offset by efficiency savings.
    Provisions increased $20 million to $91 million, largely driven by higher net credit losses (up $66 million), partially offset by a lower net loan loss reserve build (build of $2 million) as compared to the prior-year period (build of $48 million).

    2019 YTD vs. 2018 YTD
    Net income increased 1%, primarily driven by a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher credit costs, while revenues and expenses were largely unchanged.

    •
    Revenues were largely unchanged, as Banking revenues increased 1% (including the impact of the gains (losses) on loan hedges), while Markets and securities services revenues were largely unchanged. Excluding the impact of the gains (losses) on loan hedges, Banking revenues increased 3%, primarily driven by higher revenues in treasury and trade solutions and investment banking, partially offset by lower revenues in corporate lending.

    Within Banking:

    •
    Investment banking revenues increased 4%. Advisory revenues increased 6%, reflecting gains in wallet share despite a decline in overall market wallet. Equity underwriting revenues decreased 10%, reflecting market wallet declines. Debt underwriting revenues increased 8%, reflecting gains in wallet share, primarily in investment-grade underwriting.
    •
    Treasury and trade solutions revenues increased 5%. Excluding the impact of FX translation, revenues increased 8%, reflecting growth in both the cash and trade businesses, driven by continued growth in deposit volumes and improved loan spreads as well as strong fee growth across most cash products.
    •
    Corporate lending revenues decreased 20%. Excluding the impact of gains (losses) on loan hedges, revenues decreased 2%, driven by higher hedging costs and lower spreads.
    •
    Private bank revenues were largely unchanged versus the prior-year period, as higher loan and deposit volumes were offset by spread compression.

    Within Markets and securities services:

    •
    Fixed income markets revenues increased 3%, including the Tradeweb gain, primarily reflecting higher revenues in Asia and EMEA. Rates and currencies revenues decreased 1%, driven by the challenging market environment. Spread products and other fixed income revenues increased 13%, reflecting the Tradeweb gain as well as strong flow trading revenues, partially offset by lower structured products revenues.
    •
    Equity markets revenues decreased 13%, driven by North America and Asia, reflecting a challenging operating
     
    environment with lower client revenues as well as comparison to a strong prior-year period characterized by higher market volatility.
    •
    Securities services revenues were largely unchanged. Excluding the impact of FX translation, revenues increased 5%, as strength in Asia was offset by lower revenues in North America and EMEA, reflecting growth in both client volumes and assets under custody, as well as higher net interest revenue, driven by higher deposit volumes and higher interest rates.

    Expenses were largely unchanged, as efficiency savings offset investments, higher compensation and volume-driven growth.
    Provisions increased $160 million to $215 million, due to higher net credit losses (up $89 million), as well as a lower net loan loss reserve release (release of $1 million) as compared to the prior-year period (release of $72 million), reflecting a normalization of credit costs.

    CORPORATE/OTHER
    Corporate/Other includes certain unallocated costs of global staff functions (including finance, risk, human resources, legal and compliance), other corporate expenses and unallocated global operations and technology expenses and income taxes, as well as Corporate Treasury, certain North America legacy consumer loan portfolios, other legacy assets and discontinued operations (for additional information on Corporate/Other, see “Citigroup Segments” above).

    3Q19 vs. 3Q18
    Net income was $167 million, compared to a net loss of $68 million in the prior-year period. Net income was largely driven by an income tax benefit of $255 million, compared to income tax of $116 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the tax benefit of the reduction in the valuation allowance related to Citi’s deferred tax assets and a pretax loss in the current period (see “Income Taxes—DTA Valuation Allowance (VA) Release” below). The pretax loss was driven by lower revenue, higher expenses and a lower net loan loss reserve release in the current period.
    Revenues decreased 18%, primarily driven by the wind-down of legacy assets.
    Expenses increased 6%, primarily reflecting higher infrastructure costs, partially offset by the wind-down of legacy assets.
    Provisions increased $15 million to a net benefit of $15 million, primarily due to a lower net loan loss reserve release and lower net credit losses, reflecting the continued wind-down in the legacy North America mortgage portfolio.


     
    2019 YTD vs. 2018 YTD
    Net income was $183 million, compared to a net loss of $169 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the tax benefit of the reduction in the valuation allowance in the current period, compared to income taxes in the prior-year period.
    Revenues decreased 15%, primarily driven by the wind-down of legacy assets.
    Expenses decreased 16%, primarily driven by the wind-down of legacy assets.
    Provisions increased $93 million to a net benefit of $62 million, primarily due to a lower net loan loss reserve release, driven by the same factors described above.

    (1)Citi’s effective minimum risk-based capital requirements during 2019 and 2018 are inclusive of the 100% and 75% phase-in, respectively, of both the 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer and the 3.0% GSIB surcharge (all of which must be composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital).
    (2)Citi’s reportable Common Equity Tier 1 Capital and Tier 1 Capital ratios were the lower derived under the Basel III Standardized Approach, whereas the reportable Total Capital ratio was the lower derived under the Basel III Advanced Approaches framework for all periods presented.
    (3)Tier 1 Leverage ratio denominator. Represents quarterly average total assets less amounts deducted from Tier 1 Capital.
    (4)Supplementary Leverage ratio denominator.

    As indicated in the table above, Citigroup’s risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 2019 were in excess of the stated and effective minimum requirements under the U.S. Basel III rules. In addition, Citi was also “well capitalized” under current federal bank regulatory agency definitions as of September 30, 2019.

    Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio
    Citi’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 11.6% at September 30, 2019, compared to 11.9% at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The ratio decreased from the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to the return of $6.3 billion of capital to common shareholders, increases in credit and market risk-weighted assets and adverse net movements in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), partially offset by quarterly net income of $4.9 billion. Citi’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio declined from year-end 2018 primarily due to the return of $16.0 billion of capital to common shareholders and an increase in credit risk-weighted assets, partially offset by year-to-date net income of $14.4 billion and beneficial net movements in AOCI.

    (1)Issuance costs of $159 million as of September 30, 2019 and $168 million as of December 31, 2018 are related to outstanding noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, are excluded from common stockholders’ equity and are netted against such preferred stock in accordance with Federal Reserve Board regulatory reporting requirements, which differ from those under U.S. GAAP.
    (2)Includes goodwill “embedded” in the valuation of significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions.
    (3)Of Citi’s $22.5 billion of net DTAs at September 30, 2019, $12.3 billion was includable in Common Equity Tier 1 Capital pursuant to the U.S. Basel III rules, while $10.2 billion was excluded. Excluded from Citi’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital as of September 30, 2019 was $11.5 billion of net DTAs arising from net operating loss, foreign tax credit and general business credit carry-forwards, which was reduced by $1.3 billion of net DTLs primarily associated with goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Separately, under the U.S. Basel III rules, goodwill and these other intangible assets are deducted net of associated DTLs in arriving at Common Equity Tier 1 Capital. DTAs arising from net operating loss, foreign tax credit and general business credit carry-forwards are required to be entirely deducted from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital under the U.S. Basel III rules. Citi’s DTAs arising from temporary differences are less than the 10% limitation under the U.S. Basel III rules and therefore not subject to deduction from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, but are subject to risk weighting at 250%.
    (4)Represents Citigroup Capital XIII trust preferred securities, which are permanently grandfathered as Tier 1 Capital under the U.S. Basel III rules.

    Footnotes continue on the following page.

    (5)Banking entities are required to be in compliance with the Volcker Rule of the Dodd-Frank Act, which prohibits conducting certain proprietary investment activities and limits their ownership of, and relationships with, covered funds. Accordingly, Citi is required by the Volcker Rule to deduct from Tier 1 Capital all permitted ownership interests in covered funds.
    (6)50% of the minimum regulatory capital requirements of insurance underwriting subsidiaries must be deducted from each of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital.
    (7)Represents the amount of non-grandfathered trust preferred securities eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital under the U.S. Basel III rules, which will be fully phased-out of Tier 2 Capital by January 1, 2022.
    (8)Under the Standardized Approach, the allowance for credit losses is eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital up to 1.25% of credit risk-weighted assets, with any excess allowance for credit losses being deducted in arriving at credit risk-weighted assets, which differs from the Advanced Approaches framework, in which eligible credit reserves that exceed expected credit losses are eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital to the extent that the excess reserves do not exceed 0.6% of credit risk-weighted assets. The total amount of eligible credit reserves in excess of expected credit losses that were eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital, subject to limitation, under the Advanced Approaches framework was $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

    (1)General credit risk exposures include cash and balances due from depository institutions, securities, and loans and leases. General credit risk exposures increased during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to growth in commercial and retail loans and increases in investment securities.
    (2)Repo-style transactions include repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions as well as securities borrowing and securities lending transactions.
    (3)Equity exposures increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in market value of investments.
    (4)OTC derivatives increased during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to increases in notionals.
    (5)
    Other exposures include cleared transactions, unsettled transactions and other assets. Other exposures decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to decreases in centrally cleared derivatives. Other exposures increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets in accordance with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), effective January 1, 2019, and increases in various other assets.
    (6)Off-balance sheet exposures decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in standby letters of credit. Off-balance sheet exposures decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to decreases in standby letters of credit and loan commitments.
    (7)Risk levels increased during the three months ended September 30, 2019 due to an increase in exposures subject to Standard Specific Risk charges. Risk levels decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to decreases in exposure levels subject to Stressed Value at Risk and Value at Risk, partially offset by an increase in exposures subject to Standard Specific Risk charges.

    As set forth in the table above, total risk-weighted assets under the Basel III Standardized Approach increased from year-end 2018 primarily due to higher credit risk-weighted assets, partially offset by a decrease in market risk-weighted assets. The increase in credit risk-weighted assets was primarily due to increases in repo-style transactions, loan exposures, investment securities, and changes in OTC derivatives trade activities as well as the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets in accordance with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), effective January 1, 2019, partially offset by decreases in standby letters of credit and loan commitments. Market risk-weighted assets decreased from year-end 2018 primarily due to a net reduction in exposure levels.

    As set forth in the table above, total risk-weighted assets under the Basel III Advanced Approaches increased from year-end 2018 primarily due to higher credit risk-weighted assets, partially offset by decreases in market and operational risk-weighted assets. The increase in credit risk-weighted assets was primarily due to increases in securitization exposures, repo-style transactions, equity exposures, as well as the recognition of ROU assets in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and increases in various other assets, partially offset by decreases in wholesale exposures due to annual model parameter updates. Market risk-weighted assets decreased from year-end 2018 primarily due to a net reduction in exposure levels.

    (3)Under the U.S. Basel III rules, banking organizations are required to include in Total Leverage Exposure the effective notional amount of sold credit derivatives, with netting of exposures permitted if certain conditions are met.
    (4)Repo-style transactions include repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions as well as securities borrowing and securities lending transactions.

    As set forth in the table above, Citigroup’s Supplementary Leverage ratio was 6.3% for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 6.4% for both the second quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2018. The decline in the ratio quarter-over-quarter was primarily driven by the return of $6.3 billion of capital to common shareholders and adverse net movements in AOCI, as well as an increase in Total Leverage Exposure primarily due to growth in average on-balance sheet assets, partially offset by quarterly net income of $4.9 billion as well as the issuance of Series U preferred shares for $1.5 billion. The ratio decreased from the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily driven by the return of capital to common shareholders and an increase in Total Leverage Exposure primarily due to growth in average on-balance sheet assets, partially offset by year-to-date net income, beneficial net movements in AOCI and the issuance of Series U preferred shares for $1.5 billion.

    (1)Citibank’s effective minimum risk-based capital requirements during 2019 and 2018 are inclusive of the 100% and 75% phase-in, respectively, of the 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer (all of which must be composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital).
    (2)Under the Advanced Approaches framework, eligible credit reserves that exceed expected credit losses are eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital to the extent that the excess reserves do not exceed 0.6% of credit risk-weighted assets, which differs from the Standardized Approach in which the allowance for credit losses is eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital up to 1.25% of credit risk-weighted assets, with any excess allowance for credit losses being deducted in arriving at credit risk-weighted assets.
    (3)Citibank’s reportable Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios were the lower derived under the Basel III Standardized Approach for all periods presented.
    (4)Citibank must maintain minimum Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Tier 1 Capital, Total Capital and Tier 1 Leverage ratios of 6.5%, 8.0%, 10.0% and 5.0%, respectively, to be considered “well capitalized” under the revised Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) regulations applicable to insured depository institutions as established by the U.S. Basel III rules. Citibank must also maintain a minimum Supplementary Leverage ratio of 6.0% to be considered “well capitalized.” For additional information, see “Capital Resources—Current Regulatory Capital Standards—Prompt Corrective Action Framework” in Citigroup’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
    (5)Tier 1 Leverage ratio denominator. Represents quarterly average total assets less amounts deducted from Tier 1 Capital.
    (6)Supplementary Leverage ratio denominator.

    As indicated in the table above, Citibank’s capital ratios at September 30, 2019 were in excess of the stated and effective minimum requirements under the U.S. Basel III rules. In addition, Citibank was also “well capitalized” as of September 30, 2019 under the revised PCA regulations.

    Impact of Changes on Citigroup and Citibank Capital Ratios
    The following tables present the estimated sensitivity of Citigroup’s and Citibank’s capital ratios to changes of $100 million in Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital (numerator), and changes of $1 billion in
    Advanced Approaches and Standardized Approach risk-weighted assets and quarterly adjusted average total assets, as well as Total Leverage Exposure (denominator), as of September 30, 2019. This information is provided for the purpose of analyzing the impact that a change in Citigroup’s or Citibank’s financial position or results of operations could have on these ratios. These sensitivities only consider a single change to either a component of capital, risk-weighted assets, quarterly adjusted average total assets or Total Leverage Exposure. Accordingly, an event that affects more than one factor may have a larger basis point impact than is reflected in these tables.

    Citigroup Broker-Dealer Subsidiaries
    At September 30, 2019, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., a U.S. broker-dealer registered with the SEC that is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, had net capital, computed in accordance with the SEC’s net capital rule, of $10.2 billion, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $7.0 billion.
    Moreover, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, a broker-dealer registered with the United Kingdom’s Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) that is also an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, had total capital of $21.4 billion at September 30, 2019, which exceeded the PRA's minimum regulatory capital requirements.
    In addition, certain of Citi’s other broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to regulation in the countries in which they do business, including requirements to maintain specified levels of net capital or its equivalent. Citigroup’s other principal broker-dealer subsidiaries were in compliance with their regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2019.

    Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC)
    As previously disclosed, effective January 1, 2019, U.S. global systemically important bank holding companies (GSIBs), including Citi, are required to maintain minimum levels of TLAC and eligible long-term debt (LTD), each set by reference to the GSIB’s consolidated risk-weighted assets and Total Leverage Exposure.
    The table below details Citi’s eligible external TLAC and LTD amounts and ratios, and each effective minimum TLAC and LTD ratio requirement, as well as the surplus amount in dollars in excess of each requirement. As of September 30, 2019, Citi exceeded each of the minimum TLAC and LTD requirements, resulting in a $9 billion surplus above its binding TLAC requirement of LTD as a percentage of Total Leverage Exposure.

    Regulatory Capital Standards Developments

    Stress Buffer Requirements
    In September 2019, senior staff at the Federal Reserve Board indicated publicly that the Federal Reserve Board plans to have a Stress Capital Buffer (SCB) framework in place for the 2020 stress tests, and that the Board plans to re-propose certain elements of its April 2018 proposal on stress buffer requirements. Among other refinements, it was noted that the dividend add-on and the Stress Leverage Buffer will likely be eliminated in the potential re-proposal. In place of the dividend add-on, the Federal Reserve Board is considering two potential options: setting the Countercyclical Capital Buffer at a higher baseline level during normal times, or raising the floor of the SCB higher than 2.5%.
    A re-proposal has not yet been issued. For additional information on the Federal Reserve Board’s April 2018 proposal on stress buffer requirements, as well as other public commentary since the April 2018 proposal, see “Capital Resources—Regulatory Capital Standards Developments—U.S. Banking Agencies—Stress Buffer Requirements” and “Risk Factors—Strategic Risks” in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Tangible Common Equity, Book Value Per Share, Tangible Book Value Per Share and Returns on Equity
    Tangible common equity (TCE), as defined by Citi, represents common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs). Other companies may calculate TCE in a different manner. TCE, tangible book value (TBV) per share and returns on average TCE are non-GAAP financial measures.

    MANAGING GLOBAL RISK

    For Citi, effective risk management is of primary importance to its overall operations. Accordingly, Citi’s risk management process has been designed to identify, monitor, evaluate and manage the principal risks it assumes in conducting its activities. Specifically, the activities that Citi engages in, and the risks those activities generate, must be consistent with Citi’s mission and value proposition, the key principles that guide it and Citi's risk appetite.
    For more information on Citi’s management of global risk, including its three lines of defense, see “Managing Global Risk” in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Overall Consumer Credit Trends
    The following charts show the quarterly trends in delinquencies and net credit losses across both retail banking, including commercial banking, and cards for total GCB and by region.

    Global Consumer Banking
    legenda92.jpg
    cctglobal2aa03.jpg

    North America GCB
    legendb09.jpg
    cctna2a.jpg

    As of September 30, 2019, approximately 71% of North America GCB consumer loans consisted of Citi-branded and Citi retail services cards, which generally drives the overall credit performance of North America GCB (for additional information on North America GCB’s cards portfolios, including delinquency and net credit loss rates, see “Credit Card Trends” below).
    As shown in the chart above, the net credit loss rate in North America GCB decreased quarter-over-quarter, primarily driven by seasonality in the cards portfolios. The 90+ days past due delinquency rate increased quarter-over-quarter also primarily due to seasonality in the cards portfolios.
    The net credit loss rate and 90+ days past due delinquency rate increased year-over-year, primarily driven by the seasoning of more recent vintages in Citi-branded cards and an increase in net flow rates in later delinquency buckets in Citi retail services.


     
    Latin America GCB
    legenda99.jpg
    cctlatam2a.jpg

    As shown in the chart above, the net credit loss rate in Latin America GCB was relatively stable quarter-over-quarter, while the 90+ days past due delinquency rate decreased due to seasonality.
    The net credit loss rate decreased year-over-year, primarily driven by the absence of an episodic charge-off in the commercial portfolio that occurred in the prior-year period, while the 90+ days past due delinquency rate remained broadly stable.

    Asia(1) GCB
    legenda84.jpg
    cctasia2a.jpg

    (1)
    Asia includes GCB activities in certain EMEA countries for all periods presented.

    As shown in the chart above, the net credit loss rate in Asia GCB increased quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year primarily due to a charge-off in the commercial portfolio. The 90+ days past due delinquency rate remained broadly stable quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year.
    The stability in Asia GCB’s portfolios reflects the strong credit profiles in the region’s target customer segments. Regulatory changes in many markets in Asia over the past few years have also resulted in stable portfolio credit quality.
    For additional information on cost of credit, loan delinquency and other information for Citi’s consumer loan portfolios, see each respective business’s results of operations above and Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    As shown in the chart above, the net credit loss rate in Citi retail services decreased quarter-over-quarter due to seasonality, while the 90+ days past due delinquency rate increased, also due to seasonality.
    The net credit loss rate and 90+ days past due delinquency rate increased year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in net flow rates in later delinquency buckets.

    Latin America Citi-Branded Cards
    legenda86.jpg
    cclatamcards2a.jpg

    As shown in the chart above, the net credit loss rate in Latin America Citi-branded cards decreased quarter-over-quarter due to the improved performance of more recent vintages, while the 90+ days past due delinquency rate decreased, primarily due to seasonality.
    The net credit loss rate increased year-over-year, primarily due to seasoning of more recent vintages, while the 90+ days past due delinquency rate decreased, primarily driven by lower net flow rates in the later delinquency buckets.

    The 90+ days past due balances for North America—Citi-branded and North America—Citi retail services are generally still accruing interest. Citigroup’s policy is generally to accrue interest on credit card loans until 180 days past due, unless notification of bankruptcy filing has been received earlier.

    The 90+ days past due and 30–89 days past due and related ratios for North America GCB exclude U.S. mortgage loans that are guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities since the potential loss predominantly resides with the U.S. government-sponsored entities. The amounts excluded for loans 90+ days past due and (EOP loans) were $235 million ($0.7 billion), $151 million ($0.6 billion) and $140 million ($0.6 billion) as of September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

    Portfolio Mix—Geography, Counterparty and Industry
    Citi’s corporate credit portfolio is diverse across geography and counterparty. The following table shows the percentage of this portfolio by region based on Citi’s internal management geography:

    The maintenance of accurate and consistent risk ratings across the corporate credit portfolio facilitates the comparison of credit exposure across all lines of business, geographic regions and products. Counterparty risk ratings reflect an estimated probability of default for a counterparty and are derived by leveraging validated statistical models, scorecard models and external agency ratings (under defined circumstances), in combination with consideration of factors specific to the obligor or market, such as management experience, competitive position, regulatory environment and commodity prices. Facility risk ratings are assigned that reflect the probability of default of the obligor and factors that affect the loss-given-default of the facility, such as support or collateral. Internal obligor ratings that generally correspond to BBB and above are considered investment grade, while those below are considered non-investment grade.
    Citigroup also has incorporated environmental factors like climate risk assessment and reporting criteria for certain
     
    obligors, as necessary. Factors evaluated include consideration of climate risk to an obligor’s business and physical assets and, when relevant, consideration of cost-effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
    The following table presents the corporate credit portfolio by facility risk rating as a percentage of the total corporate credit portfolio:

    Credit Risk Mitigation
    As part of its overall risk management activities, Citigroup uses credit derivatives and other risk mitigants to hedge portions of the credit risk in its corporate credit portfolio, in addition to outright asset sales. The results of the mark-to-market and any realized gains or losses on credit derivatives are reflected primarily in Principal transactions in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
    At September 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, Citigroup had economic hedges in place on the corporate credit portfolio of $29.5 billion, $30.2 billion and $25.8 billion, respectively. Citigroup’s expected loss model used in the calculation of its loan loss reserve does not include the favorable impact of credit derivatives and other mitigants that are marked to market. In addition, the reported amounts of direct outstandings and unfunded lending commitments in the tables above do not reflect the impact of these hedging transactions. The credit protection was economically hedging underlying corporate credit portfolio exposures with the following risk rating distribution:

    Non-Accrual Loans and Assets and Renegotiated Loans
    For additional information on Citi’s non-accrual loans and assets and renegotiated loans, see “Non-Accrual Loans and Assets and Renegotiated Loans” in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Non-Accrual Loans
    The table below summarizes Citigroup’s non-accrual loans as of the periods indicated. Non-accrual loans may still be current on interest payments. In situations where Citi reasonably expects that only a portion of the principal owed will ultimately be collected, all payments received are reflected as a reduction of principal and not as interest income. For all other non-accrual loans, cash interest receipts are generally recorded as revenue.

    Note: The amounts set forth in the table above are presented on an average basis. For securities, the amounts represent the liquidity value that potentially could be realized and, therefore, exclude any securities that are encumbered and incorporate any haircuts that would be required for securities financing transactions. The table above incorporates various restrictions that could limit the transferability of liquidity between legal entities, including Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act.
    (1)Foreign government debt includes securities issued or guaranteed by foreign sovereigns, agencies and multilateral development banks. Foreign government debt securities are held largely to support local liquidity requirements and Citi’s local franchises and principally include government bonds from Hong Kong, India, Korea, Mexico and Canada.

    The table above includes average amounts of HQLA held at Citigroup’s operating entities that are eligible for inclusion in the calculation of Citigroup’s consolidated Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), pursuant to the U.S. LCR rules. These amounts include the HQLA needed to meet the minimum requirements at these entities and any amounts in excess of these minimums that are assumed to be transferable to other entities within Citigroup. Citigroup’s HQLA increased sequentially, largely reflecting an increase in cash from deposit growth, partially offset by the use of liquidity to fund long-term debt maturities at the parent, rather than re-issuing new debt.
    Citi’s HQLA as set forth above does not include Citi’s available borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) of which Citi is a member, which was approximately $40 billion as of September 30, 2019 (compared to $32 billion as of June 30, 2019 and $29 billion as of September 30, 2018) and maintained by eligible collateral pledged to such banks. The HQLA also does not include Citi’s borrowing capacity at the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank discount window or other central banks, which would be in addition to the resources noted above.

     

    Liquidity Coverage Ratio
    In addition to internal 30-day liquidity stress testing performed for Citi’s major entities, operating subsidiaries and countries, Citi also monitors its liquidity by reference to the LCR. The table below details the components of Citi’s LCR calculation and HQLA in excess of net outflows for the periods indicated:

    HQLA in excess of net outflows$49.3
    $53.5
    $70.0

    Note: The amounts are presented on an average basis.

    Citi’s average LCR decreased sequentially, as an increase in modeled net outflows more than offset an increase in HQLA. The increase in modeled net outflows was largely driven by deposit growth at the bank entities, which outpaced the increase in HQLA as a result of both limitations on the amount of Citibank HQLA available for inclusion in the consolidated metric, as well as the funding of long-term debt maturities (as described in HQLA above).

    Excluding the impact of FX translation, average loans increased 3% year-over-year and 4% in aggregate across GCB and ICG. Average GCB loans grew 3% year-over-year, driven by continued growth in North America GCB and Asia GCB. Average loans in Latin America GCB declined 1% year-over-year, reflecting a continued deceleration in GDP growth in Mexico and a slowdown in overall industry volumes.
    Excluding the impact of FX translation, average ICG loans increased 5% year-over-year. TTS loans declined 5% year-over-year, despite strong origination volumes, as Citi continued to utilize its distribution capabilities to optimize the balance sheet and drive returns while maintaining support to its clients. Loans in corporate lending increased 2% year-over-year, as Citi continued to support its clients’ strategic financing needs. Private bank loans increased 13%, reflecting growth across regions, driven by both new clients and the deepening of relationships with existing clients. Finally, continued strong Markets and securities services loan growth year-over-year was driven primarily by residential and commercial real estate warehouse lending.
    Average Corporate/Other loans continued to decline (down 34%), driven by the wind-down of legacy assets.

    Long-Term Debt
    The weighted-average maturity of unsecured long-term debt issued by Citigroup and its affiliates (including Citibank) with a remaining life greater than one year was approximately 8.4 years as of September 30, 2019, compared to 8.8 years as of the prior year and 8.5 years as of the prior quarter. The weighted-average maturity is calculated based on the contractual maturity of each security. For securities that are redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the holder, the weighted-average maturity is calculated based on the earliest date an option becomes exercisable.
    Citi’s long-term debt outstanding at the Citigroup parent company includes senior and subordinated debt and what Citi refers to as customer-related debt, consisting of structured notes, such as equity- and credit-linked notes, as well as non-structured notes. Citi’s issuance of customer-related debt is generally driven by customer demand and complements benchmark debt issuance as a source of funding for Citi’s non-bank entities. Citi’s long-term debt at the bank includes benchmark senior debt, FHLB advances and securitizations.

    (1)Parent and other includes long-term debt issued to third parties by the parent holding company (Citigroup) and Citi’s non-bank subsidiaries (including broker-dealer subsidiaries) that are consolidated into Citigroup. As of September 30, 2019, Parent and other included $42.0 billion of long-term debt issued by Citi’s broker-dealer subsidiaries.
    (2)Local country debt includes debt issued by Citi’s affiliates in support of their local operations.
    (3)Predominantly credit card securitizations, primarily backed by Citi-branded credit card receivables.

    Citi’s total long-term debt outstanding increased year-over-year, primarily driven by the issuance of customer-related debt at the non-bank entities, partially offset by a decline in FHLB borrowings and securitizations. Sequentially, Citi’s total long-term debt outstanding decreased, primarily driven by a decline in unsecured senior benchmark debt at the non-bank entities.
    As part of its liability management, Citi has considered, and may continue to consider, opportunities to repurchase its long-term debt pursuant to open market purchases, tender offers or other means. Such repurchases help reduce Citi’s overall funding costs. During the third quarter of 2019, Citi repurchased and called an aggregate of approximately $2.3 billion of its outstanding long-term debt.

    Secured Funding Transactions and Short-Term Borrowings
    Citi supplements its primary sources of funding with short-term financings that generally include (i) secured funding transactions consisting of securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase, or repos, and (ii) to a lesser extent, short-term borrowings consisting of commercial paper and borrowings from the FHLB and other market participants.

    Secured Funding Transactions
    Secured funding is primarily accessed through Citi’s broker-dealer subsidiaries to fund efficiently both secured lending activity and a portion of the securities inventory held in the context of market making and customer activities. Citi also executes a smaller portion of its secured funding transactions through its bank entities, which is typically collateralized by foreign government debt securities. Generally, daily changes in the level of Citi’s secured funding are primarily due to fluctuations in secured lending activity in the matched book (as described below) and securities inventory.
    Secured funding of $195 billion as of September 30, 2019 increased 11% from the prior-year period and 8% sequentially. Excluding the impact of FX translation, secured funding increased 14% from the prior-year period and 10% sequentially, both driven by normal business activity. Average balances for secured funding were approximately $198 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
    The portion of secured funding in the broker-dealer subsidiaries that funds secured lending is commonly referred to as “matched book” activity. The majority of this activity is secured by high-quality liquid securities such as U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency securities and foreign government debt securities. Other secured funding is secured by less-liquid securities, including equity securities, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. The tenor of Citi’s matched book liabilities is generally equal to or longer than the tenor of the corresponding matched book assets.
    The remainder of the secured funding activity in the broker-dealer subsidiaries serves to fund securities inventory held in the context of market making and customer activities. To maintain reliable funding under a wide range of market conditions, including under periods of stress, Citi manages these activities by taking into consideration the quality of the underlying collateral and stipulating financing tenor. The weighted average maturity of Citi’s secured funding of less-liquid securities inventory was greater than 110 days as of September 30, 2019.
     
    Citi manages the risks in its secured funding by conducting daily stress tests to account for changes in capacity, tenors, haircut, collateral profile and client actions. Additionally, Citi maintains counterparty diversification by establishing concentration triggers and assessing counterparty reliability and stability under stress. Citi generally sources secured funding from more than 150 counterparties.

    Short-Term Borrowings
    Citi’s short-term borrowings of $35 billion increased 4% year-over-year, reflecting growth in total commercial paper outstanding, partially offset by lower FHLB advances. Sequentially, short-term borrowings declined 17%, primarily driven by a reduction in FHLB advances and total commercial paper outstanding (see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on Citigroup’s and its affiliates’ outstanding short-term borrowings).

    Potential Impacts of Ratings Downgrades
    Ratings downgrades by Moody’s, Fitch or S&P could negatively impact Citigroup’s and/or Citibank’s funding and liquidity due to reduced funding capacity, including derivative triggers, which could take the form of cash obligations and collateral requirements.
    The following information is provided for the purpose of analyzing the potential funding and liquidity impact to Citigroup and Citibank of a hypothetical, simultaneous
    ratings downgrade across all three major rating agencies. This analysis is subject to certain estimates, estimation methodologies, judgments and uncertainties. Uncertainties include potential ratings limitations that certain entities may have with respect to permissible counterparties, as well as general subjective counterparty behavior. For example, certain corporate customers and markets counterparties could re-evaluate their business relationships with Citi and limit transactions in certain contracts or market instruments with Citi. Changes in counterparty behavior could impact Citi’s funding and liquidity, as well as the results of operations of certain of its businesses. The actual impact to Citigroup or Citibank is unpredictable and may differ materially from the potential funding and liquidity impacts described below. For additional information on the impact of credit rating changes on Citi and its applicable subsidiaries, see “Risk Factors— Liquidity Risks” in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


     
    Citigroup Inc. and Citibank—Potential Derivative Triggers
    As of September 30, 2019, Citi estimates that a hypothetical one-notch downgrade of the senior debt/long-term rating of Citigroup Inc. across all three major rating agencies could impact Citigroup’s funding and liquidity due to derivative triggers by approximately $0.3 billion, unchanged from June 30, 2019. Other funding sources, such as secured financing transactions and other margin requirements, for which there are no explicit triggers, could also be adversely affected.
    As of September 30, 2019, Citi estimates that a hypothetical one-notch downgrade of the senior debt/long-term rating of Citibank across all three major rating agencies could impact Citibank’s funding and liquidity by approximately $0.7 billion, compared to $0.5 billion as of June 30, 2019.
    In total, Citi estimates that a one-notch downgrade of Citigroup and Citibank, across all three major rating agencies, could result in increased aggregate cash obligations and collateral requirements of approximately $1.0 billion, compared to $0.8 billion as of June 30, 2019 (see also Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). As detailed under “High-Quality Liquid Assets” above, the liquidity resources that are eligible for inclusion in the calculation of Citi’s consolidated HQLA were approximately $342 billion for Citibank and approximately $80 billion for Citi’s non-bank and other entities, for a total of approximately $423 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. These liquidity resources are available in part as a contingency for the potential events described above.
    In addition, a broad range of mitigating actions are currently included in Citigroup’s and Citibank’s contingency funding plans. For Citigroup, these mitigating factors include, but are not limited to, accessing surplus funding capacity from existing clients, tailoring levels of secured lending and adjusting the size of select trading books and collateralized borrowings from certain Citibank subsidiaries. Mitigating actions available to Citibank include, but are not limited to, selling or financing highly liquid government securities, tailoring levels of secured lending, adjusting the size of select trading assets, reducing loan originations and renewals, raising additional deposits or borrowing from the FHLB or central banks. Citi believes these mitigating actions could

    56



    substantially reduce the funding and liquidity risk, if any, of the potential downgrades described above.

    Citibank—Additional Potential Impacts
    In addition to the above derivative triggers, Citi believes that a potential downgrade of Citibank’s senior debt/long-term rating across any of the three major rating agencies could also have an adverse impact on the commercial paper/short-term rating of Citibank. As of September 30, 2019, Citibank had liquidity commitments of approximately $10.0 billion to consolidated asset-backed commercial paper conduits, compared to $12.9 billion as of June 30, 2019 (as referenced in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
    In addition to the above-referenced liquidity resources of certain Citibank entities, Citibank could reduce the funding and liquidity risk, if any, of the potential downgrades described above through mitigating actions, including repricing or reducing certain commitments to commercial paper conduits. In the event of the potential downgrades described above, Citi believes that certain corporate customers could re-evaluate their deposit relationships with Citibank. This re-evaluation could result in clients adjusting their discretionary deposit levels or changing their depository institution, which could potentially reduce certain deposit levels at Citibank. However, Citi could choose to adjust pricing, offer alternative deposit products to its existing customers or seek to attract deposits from new customers, in addition to the mitigating actions referenced above.

    57



    MARKET RISK

    Market risk emanates from both Citi’s trading and non-trading portfolios. For additional information on market risk and market risk management at Citi, see “Market Risk” and “Risk Factors” in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     




    Market Risk of Non-Trading Portfolios
    The following table sets forth the estimated impact to Citi’s net interest revenue, AOCI and the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio (on a fully implemented basis), each assuming an unanticipated parallel instantaneous 100 basis point (bps) increase in interest rates:

    Estimated initial impact on Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio (bps)(24)(23)(31)

    (1)Certain trading-oriented businesses within Citi have accrual-accounted positions that are excluded from the estimated impact to net interest revenue in the table, since these exposures are managed economically in combination with mark-to-market positions. The U.S. dollar interest rate exposure associated with these businesses was $(203) million for a 100 bps instantaneous increase in interest rates as of September 30, 2019.
    (2)Includes the effect of changes in interest rates on AOCI related to investment securities, cash flow hedges and pension liability adjustments.

    The estimated impact to net interest revenue decreased on a sequential basis, reflecting changes in balance sheet composition and Citi Treasury positioning. The increase in the estimated impact to AOCI primarily reflected changes to the positioning of Citi Treasury’s investment securities and related interest rate derivatives portfolio.
    In the event of an unanticipated parallel instantaneous 100 bps increase in interest rates, Citi expects that the negative impact to AOCI would be offset in stockholders’ equity through the combination of expected incremental net interest revenue and the expected recovery of the impact on AOCI through accretion of Citi’s investment portfolio over a period
     
    of time. As of September 30, 2019, Citi expects that the negative $4.1 billion impact to AOCI in such a scenario could potentially be offset over approximately 31 months.
    The following table sets forth the estimated impact to Citi’s net interest revenue, AOCI and the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio (on a fully implemented basis) under five different changes in interest rate scenarios for the U.S. dollar and Citi’s other currencies.

    (1)Includes the effect of changes in interest rates on AOCI related to investment securities, cash flow hedges and pension liability adjustments.

    58



    As shown in the table above, the magnitude of the impact to Citi’s net interest revenue and AOCI is greater under scenario 2 as compared to scenario 3. This is because the combination of changes to Citi’s investment portfolio, partially offset by changes related to Citi’s pension liabilities, results in a net position that is more sensitive to rates at shorter- and intermediate-term maturities.

    Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates—Impacts on AOCI and Capital
    As of September 30, 2019, Citi estimates that an unanticipated parallel instantaneous 5% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against all of the other currencies in which Citi has invested capital could reduce Citi’s tangible common equity (TCE) by approximately $1.5 billion, or 1.0%, as a result of changes to Citi’s foreign currency translation adjustment in AOCI, net of hedges. This impact would be primarily due to changes in the value of the Mexican peso, Euro and Australian dollar.
     
    This impact is also before any mitigating actions Citi may take, including ongoing management of its foreign currency translation exposure. Specifically, as currency movements change the value of Citi’s net investments in foreign currency-denominated capital, these movements also change the value of Citi’s risk-weighted assets denominated in those currencies. This, coupled with Citi’s foreign currency hedging strategies, such as foreign currency borrowings, foreign currency forwards and other currency hedging instruments, lessens the impact of foreign currency movements on Citi’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio. Changes in these hedging strategies, as well as hedging costs, divestitures and tax impacts, can further affect the actual impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on Citi’s capital as compared to an unanticipated parallel shock, as described above.
    The effect of Citi’s ongoing management strategies with respect to changes in foreign exchange rates and the impact of these changes on Citi’s TCE and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio are shown in the table below. For additional information on the changes in AOCI, see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    Note: All interest expense amounts include FDIC, as well as other similar deposit insurance assessments outside of the U.S. As of the fourth quarter of 2018, Citi’s FDIC surcharge was eliminated (approximately $130 million per quarter).
    (1)
    Net interest revenue includes the taxable equivalent adjustments related to the tax-exempt bond portfolio (based on the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% in 2019 and 2018) of $47 million, $49 million and $58 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
    (2)
    Interest expense associated with certain hybrid financial instruments, which are classified as Long-term debt and accounted for at fair value, is reported together with any changes in fair value as part of Principal transactions in the Consolidated Statement of Income and is therefore not reflected in Interest expense in the table above.
    (3)The average rate on interest revenue and net interest margin reflects the taxable equivalent gross-up adjustment. See footnote 1 on “Average Balances and Interest Rates—Assets” below.
    (4)Citi’s net interest margin (NIM) is calculated by dividing net interest revenue by average interest-earning assets.

    Citi’s net interest revenue in the third quarter of 2019 decreased 1% to $11.6 billion versus the prior-year period. Citi’s net interest revenue on a taxable equivalent basis also decreased 1% (as set forth in the table above). Excluding the impact of FX translation, net interest revenue was largely unchanged, as total net interest revenue ex-markets (fixed income markets and equity markets) growth of 3% or $270 million was offset by a decline in markets net interest revenue of 25% or $280 million. The increase in total net interest revenue ex-markets was driven by loan growth and a favorable loan mix, along with the absence of the FDIC surcharge. The decline in markets net interest revenue was driven by ongoing
     
    changes in the composition and mix of the business’s revenues between net interest revenue and non-interest revenue.
    As set forth above, Citi’s NIM was 2.56% on a taxable equivalent basis in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 11 basis points from the prior quarter, primarily driven by the lower markets net interest revenue.

    Market Risk of Trading Portfolios

    Value at Risk
    As of September 30, 2019, Citi estimates that the conservative features of its VAR calibration contributed an approximate 26% add-on to what would be a VAR estimated under the assumption of stable and perfectly normal distributed markets. As of June 30, 2019, the add-on was 25%.
    As set forth in the table below, Citi's average trading VAR decreased from June 30, 2019 to September 30, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in mark-to-market interest rate hedging exposure in the Markets businesses within ICG. Citi’s average trading and credit portfolio VAR also decreased from June 30, 2019 to September 30, 2019, in line with the decrease in average trading VAR.

    (1)Covariance adjustment (also known as diversification benefit) equals the difference between the total VAR and the sum of the VARs tied to each individual risk type. The benefit reflects the fact that the risks within each and across risk types are not perfectly correlated and, consequently, the total VAR on a given day will be lower than the sum of the VARs relating to each individual risk type. The determination of the primary drivers of changes to the covariance adjustment is made by an examination of the impact of both model parameter and position changes.
    (2)
    The total trading VAR includes mark-to-market and certain fair value option trading positions in ICG, with the exception of hedges to the loan portfolio, fair value option loans and all CVA exposures. Available-for-sale and accrual exposures are not included.
    (3)The specific risk-only component represents the level of equity and fixed income issuer-specific risk embedded in VAR.
    (4)
    The credit portfolio is composed of mark-to-market positions associated with non-trading business units including Citi Treasury, the CVA relating to derivative counterparties and all associated CVA hedges. FVA and DVA are not included. The credit portfolio also includes hedges to the loan portfolio, fair value option loans and hedges to the leveraged finance pipeline within capital markets origination in ICG.

    Regulatory VAR Back-testing
    In accordance with Basel III, Citi is required to perform back-testing to evaluate the effectiveness of its Regulatory VAR model. Regulatory VAR back-testing is the process in which the daily one-day VAR, at a 99% confidence interval, is compared to the buy-and-hold profit and loss (i.e., the profit and loss impact if the portfolio is held constant at the end of the day and re-priced the following day). Buy-and-hold profit and loss represents the daily mark-to-market profit and loss attributable to price movements in covered positions from the close of the previous business day. Buy-and-hold profit and loss excludes realized trading revenue, net interest, fees and commissions, intra-day trading profit and loss and changes in reserves.
    Based on a 99% confidence level, Citi would expect two to three days in any one year where buy-and-hold losses exceeded the Regulatory VAR. Given the conservative calibration of Citi’s VAR model (as a result of taking the greater of short- and long-term volatilities and fat-tail scaling of volatilities), Citi would expect fewer exceptions under normal and stable market conditions. Periods of unstable market conditions could increase the number of back-testing exceptions.
    As of September 30, 2019, there were no back-testing exceptions observed for Citi’s Regulatory VAR for the prior 12 months.

    STRATEGIC RISK
    For additional information on strategic risk at Citi, see “Strategic Risk” in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Country Risk

    Top 25 Country Exposures
    The following table presents Citi’s top 25 exposures by
    country (excluding the U.S.) as of September 30, 2019. The total exposure as of September 30, 2019 to the top 25 countries disclosed below, in combination with the U.S., would represent approximately 96% of Citi’s exposure to all countries. For purposes of the table, loan amounts are reflected in the country where the loan is booked, which is generally based on the domicile of the borrower. For example, a loan to a Chinese subsidiary of a Switzerland-based corporation will
     
    generally be categorized as a loan in China. In addition, Citi has developed regional booking centers in certain countries, most significantly in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and Ireland, in order to more efficiently serve its corporate customers. As an example, with respect to the U.K., only 29% of corporate
    loans presented in the table below are to U.K. domiciled
    entities (31% for unfunded commitments), with the balance of
    the loans predominately to European domiciled counterparties.
    Approximately 85% of the total U.K. funded loans and 90% of
    the total U.K. unfunded commitments were investment grade
    as of September 30, 2019. Trading account assets and investment securities are generally categorized based on the domicile of the issuer of the security of the underlying reference entity. For additional information on the assets included in the table, see the footnotes to the table below.

    Argentina
    Citi operates in Argentina through its ICG businesses. As of September 30, 2019, Citi’s net investment in its Argentine operations was approximately $570 million. As previously disclosed, Citi uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for its operations in Argentina because the Argentine economy is considered highly inflationary under U.S. GAAP.
    During the third quarter of 2019, the Argentine peso depreciated 36% against the U.S. dollar, and the U.S. rating agencies downgraded Argentina’s sovereign debt rating given renewed concerns of a debt default. Additionally, the government of Argentina announced a debt re-profiling on
    certain short-term obligations, and also implemented new capital and currency controls during the quarter. As of June 30, 2019, Citi had already remitted all available earnings from its Argentine operations that could be remitted during the 2019 calendar year, although the new capital controls will restrict Citi’s ability to access U.S. dollars in Argentina and remit earnings from its Argentine operations in the future.
    Citi economically hedges its foreign currency risk in its net investment in Argentina to the extent possible and prudent through the use of non-deliverable forward (NDF) derivative instruments that are executed outside of Argentina. During the third quarter of 2019, the international NDF market lost liquidity as a result of the capital controls on foreign exchange transactions mentioned above. Given the lack of liquidity in the international NDF market, Citi faces a risk that it will be unable to economically hedge its Argentine peso exposure if these contracts do not begin trading again in the near term. As a result, devaluations on Citi’s net Argentine peso-denominated assets would be recorded in earnings, without any benefit from a change in the fair value of derivative positions used to economically hedge the exposure.
    Citi consistently evaluates its economic exposure to its Argentine counterparties and reserves for changes in credit risk and sovereign risk associated with its Argentine assets. Citi believes it has established appropriate loan loss reserves on its Argentine loans, and appropriate fair value adjustments on Argentine assets and liabilities measured at fair value, for such risks under U.S. GAAP as of September 30, 2019. However, given the recent events in Argentina, U.S. regulatory agencies may require Citi to record additional reserves in the future, increasing ICG’s cost of credit, based on the perceived country risk associated with its Argentine exposures.



     
    Potential Exit of U.K. from EU
    As widely reported, the U.K. and the EU agreed to further extend the U.K.’s scheduled exit from the EU until January 31, 2020. For additional information regarding the U.K.’s potential exit from the EU, see “Risk Factors—Strategic Risk” and “Strategic Risk—Potential Exit of U.K. from EU” in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    LIBOR Transition Risk
    Citi continues to actively identify and manage its LIBOR transition risks. Citi’s LIBOR governance and implementation program remains focused on identifying and addressing the transition impact to Citi’s clients, operational capabilities, and legal and financial contracts, among others. Citi also continues to engage on transition issues with regulators and others, such as the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) convened by the Federal Reserve Board, in addition to various industry working groups. 
    For additional information on Citi’s LIBOR transition risks and actions, see “Risk Factors—Strategic Risks” and “Managing Global Risk—Strategic Risks—LIBOR Transition Risk” in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    INCOME TAXES

    Deferred Tax Assets
    For additional information on Citi’s deferred tax assets (DTAs), see “Risk Factors—Strategic Risks,” “Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates—Income Taxes” and Notes 1 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
    At September 30, 2019, Citigroup had recorded net DTAs of approximately $22.5 billion, an increase of $0.2 billion from June 30, 2019 and a decrease of $0.4 billion from December 31, 2018. The increase for the quarter was primarily driven by the DTA valuation allowance (VA) release as discussed below.
    The table below summarizes Citi’s net DTAs balance:
    Jurisdiction/ComponentDTAs balance

    Total U.S.$20.6
    $20.7
    Total foreign1.9
    2.2
    Total$22.5
    $22.9

    Of Citi’s total net DTAs of $22.5 billion as of September 30, 2019, $10.2 billion (primarily relating to net operating losses, foreign tax credits and general business credit carry-forwards, which Citi reduced by $0.2 billion in the current quarter and $0.7 billion year-to-date, excluding the VA release), was deducted in calculating Citi’s regulatory capital. Net DTAs resulting from temporary differences are deducted from regulatory capital if in excess of the 10%/15% limitations (see “Capital Resources” above). For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, Citi did not have any such DTAs. Accordingly, the remaining $12.3 billion of net DTAs as of September 30, 2019 was not deducted in calculating regulatory capital pursuant to Basel III standards and was appropriately risk weighted under those rules.

     
    DTA Valuation Allowance (VA) Release
    In the third quarter of 2019, Citi committed to a plan as part of the Company’s liquidity management program, to increase its ownership of certain types of non-U.S. securities and to hold such securities in its U.S. operations. This action will generate incremental foreign source income in Citi’s U.S. tax returns over time. Based on these actions, the Company views it to be more-likely-than-not that Citi will utilize $182 million of FTC carry-forwards against which it had previously recorded a VA. Therefore, Citi released the associated approximately $182 million of VA in the third quarter.
    Citi continues to look for other actions that may improve foreign source income in the U.S. and thus affect the VA. These actions can include the relocation of certain businesses to the U.S., each of which can raise client, regulatory or operational issues. No other action was deemed prudent and feasible as of September 30, 2019. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2019, as part of its normal planning process, Citi updates its forecasts of operating income and foreign source income, which in turn can affect the VA.

    Overall DTA Realizability
    Citi believes that the realization of the recognized net DTAs of $22.5 billion at September 30, 2019 is more-likely-than-not, based upon management’s expectations as to future taxable income in the jurisdictions in which the DTAs arise, as well as consideration of available tax planning strategies (as defined in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes).

    Effective Tax Rate
    Citi’s reported effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was approximately 18%, which included discrete items related to a tax audit settlement and the VA release discussed above, compared to 24% in the prior-year period. Citi’s effective tax rate excluding those discrete items was approximately 22%.

    FUTURE APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    Accounting for Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
    In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU introduces a new credit loss methodology, the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology, which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk.
    The CECL methodology utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to-maturity debt securities and other receivables measured at amortized cost at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This methodology replaces the multiple existing impairment methods in current GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. Within the life cycle of a loan or other financial asset, the ASU will generally result in the earlier recognition of the provision for credit losses and the related allowance for credit losses than current practice. For available-for-sale debt securities that Citi intends to hold and where fair value is less than cost, credit-related impairment, if any, will be recognized through an allowance for credit losses and adjusted each period for changes in credit risk.
    The CECL methodology represents a significant change from existing GAAP and may result in material changes to the Company’s accounting for financial instruments. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The impact of the ASU will, among other things, depend upon the state of the economy, forecasted macroeconomic conditions and Citi’s portfolios at the date of adoption. Based on a preliminary analysis performed in the third quarter of 2019 and forecasts of macroeconomic conditions and exposures at that time, the overall impact is estimated to be an approximate 20–30% increase in expected credit loss reserves. When transitioning to CECL on January 1, 2020, Citi expects to build reserves for its consumer exposures while releasing reserves related to its corporate exposures. The ASU will be effective for Citi as of January 1, 2020. This increase would be reflected as a decrease to opening Retained earnings, net of income taxes, at January 1, 2020.
    Implementation efforts have been underway, including model development and validation, fulfillment of additional data needs for new disclosures and reporting requirements, and drafting of accounting policies. Substantial progress has been made in model development and validation. Model validations and user acceptance testing commenced in the first quarter of 2019, with parallel runs in the third quarter of 2019. The Company intends to utilize a single macroeconomic scenario in estimating expected credit losses and to discount inputs for the corporate classifiably managed portfolios. Reasonable and supportable forecast periods and methods to revert to historical averages to arrive at lifetime expected credit losses vary by product.
     
    For additional information on regulatory capital treatment, see “Capital Resources—Regulatory Capital Standards Developments—Regulatory Capital Treatment—Implementation and Transition of the Current Expected Credit
    Losses (CECL) Methodology” in Citi’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Subsequent Measurement of Goodwill
    In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., the current Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Under the ASU, the impairment test is the comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount (the current Step 1), with the impairment charge being the deficit in fair value but not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The simplified one-step impairment test applies to all reporting units (including those with zero or negative carrying amounts).
    The ASU will be effective for Citi as of January 1, 2020. The impact of the ASU will depend upon the performance of Citi’s reporting units and the market conditions impacting the fair value of each reporting unit going forward.

    See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of “Accounting Changes.”
