Citigroup
Citigroup revenues of $18.5 billion in the third quarter 2022 increased 6%. Excluding the gain on sale of the Philippines consumer business in the quarter and the loss on sale of the Australia consumer business in the prior-year period, revenues were down 1%, as the impact of higher interest rates across businesses and strong loan growth in PBWM were more than offset by declines in Investment Banking and Markets and investment product revenues in Global Wealth Management.
Citigroup operating expenses of $12.7 billion in the third quarter 2022 increased 8%, largely driven by transformation investments, business-led investments, inflation and other risk and control initiatives and volume-related expenses, partially offset by productivity savings and the benefit of foreign exchange translation. Operating expenses included approximately $107 million of divestiture-related costs this quarter(5). Excluding these costs, expenses increased 7%.
Citigroup cost of credit of $1.4 billion in the third quarter 2022, compared to $(0.2) billion in the prior-year period, reflecting a net build in the allowance for credit losses (ACL) for loans and unfunded commitments of $0.4 billion, primarily due to the loan growth in PBWM, compared to a net ACL release of $1.2 billion in the prior-year period, partially offset by lower net credit losses.
Citigroup net income of $3.5 billion in the third quarter 2022 decreased 25% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by the higher cost of credit and the higher expenses, partially offset by the increase in revenues. Citigroup’s effective tax rate was 20.0% in the current quarter versus 20.4% in the third quarter 2021.
Citigroup’s total allowance for credit losses on loans was approximately $16.3 billion at quarter end, with a reserve-to-funded loans ratio of 2.54%, compared to $17.7 billion, or 2.69% of funded loans, at the end of the prior-year period. Total non-accrual loans decreased 28% from the prior-year period to $2.9 billion. Consumer non-accrual loans decreased 25% to $1.4 billion and corporate non-accrual loans decreased 30% to $1.5 billion.
Citigroup’s end-of-period loans were $646 billion at quarter end, down 3% versus the prior-year period, largely driven by the impact of foreign exchange translation and lower balances in Legacy Franchises.
Citigroup’s end-of-period deposits were $1.3 trillion at quarter end, down 3% versus the prior-year period, largely driven by declines in Legacy Franchises and the impact of foreign exchange translation, partially offset by the issuance of institutional certificates of deposit, as Citigroup continues to diversify its funding profile.
Citigroup’s book value per share of $92.71 and tangible book value per share of $80.34 at quarter end increased 1% and 2%, respectively, largely driven by the net income and lower shares outstanding, partially offset by adverse movements in the accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) component of equity and common dividends. At quarter end, Citigroup’s CET1 Capital ratio was 12.2% versus 11.9% in the second quarter 2022, reflecting the benefits of the net income, the sale of the Philippines consumer business and the optimization of risk-weighted assets (RWA), partly offset by interest rate impacts on unrealized available-for-sale securities losses through Citigroup’s investment portfolio and changes in deferred tax assets. Citigroup’s Supplementary Leverage ratio for the third quarter 2022 was 5.7% versus 5.6% in the second quarter 2022. During the quarter, Citigroup returned a total of $1.0 billion to common shareholders in the form of dividends.
