(1) Ratios as of December 31, 2024 are preliminary. Citigroup’s allocated average tangible common equity (TCE) and return on average tangible common equity (RoTCE) are non-GAAP financial measures. RoTCE represents annualized net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average TCE. For the components of these calculations, see Appendix A. See Appendix F for a reconciliation of common equity to TCE. For a reconciliation of the summation of the segments’ and components’ average allocated TCE to Citigroup’s total average stockholder’s equity, see Appendix H.
As used herein, 2026 RoTCE is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. From time to time, management may discuss forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as forward-looking estimates or targets for revenue, expenses and RoTCE. Citi is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because Citi is unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant for future results.
(2) Ratios as of December 31, 2024 are preliminary. Citigroup’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital ratio and Supplementary Leverage ratio (SLR) reflect certain deferrals based on the modified regulatory capital transition provision related to the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard. Excluding these deferrals, Citigroup’s CET1 Capital ratio and SLR as of December 31, 2024 would be 13.5% and 5.8%, respectively, on a fully reflected basis. For additional information, see “Capital Resources—Regulatory Capital Treatment—Modified Transition of the Current Expected Credit Losses Methodology” in Citigroup’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For the composition of Citigroup’s CET1 Capital and ratio, see Appendix D. For the composition of Citigroup’s SLR, see Appendix E.
(3) Citigroup’s payout ratio is the sum of common dividends and common share repurchases divided by net income available to common shareholders.
(4) Citigroup’s tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. See Appendix F for a reconciliation of common equity to tangible common equity and resulting calculation of tangible book value per share.
(5) As previously disclosed, fourth quarter 2023 results included several notable pre-tax items consisting of: (i) an approximately $1.7 billion charge to operating expenses related to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment; (ii) an approximately $1.3 billion net ACL reserve build driven by increases in transfer risk associated with exposures in Russia and Argentina, driven by safety and soundness considerations under U.S. banking law; (iii) an $(880) million revenue impact from the Argentina currency devaluation; and (iv) an approximately $781 million restructuring charge, recorded in operating expenses. In total, the items had a pre-tax impact of $(4.7) billion and an after-tax impact of $(3.8) billion in the fourth quarter of 2023 and negatively impacted diluted EPS by approximately $(2.00) and RoTCE by (9.2)%, reducing RoTCE from 4.1% to (5.1)%. Results of operation excluding the impact of these notable items are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of diluted EPS to reported results, see Appendix I.
Fourth quarter 2024 results included the following pre-tax items: (i) an approximately $(26) million release of accruals associated with the FDIC special assessment; (ii) an approximately $47 million net ACL reserve build driven by an aggregate increase in transfer risk associated with exposures in Russia and Argentina driven by safety and soundness considerations under U.S. banking law; (iii) a $(71) million revenue impact from devaluation of the Argentine peso; and (iv) an $(11) million release of the restructuring accrual. In total, the items had a pre-tax impact of $(81) million and an after-tax impact of $(94) million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and did not have a meaningful impact to diluted EPS or RoTCE.
(6) Revenues excluding the impacts of the Argentina currency devaluation and/or divestiture-related impacts are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation to reported results, please refer to Appendices B and C.
(7) Expenses excluding the impacts of the FDIC special assessment and divestiture-related impacts are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation to reported results, please refer to Appendices B and C.
(8) Repurchases by Citigroup under the new common stock repurchase program are subject to quarterly approval by Citigroup’s Board of Directors; may be effected from time to time through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, or other means; and as determined by Citigroup, may be subject to satisfactory market conditions, Citigroup’s capital position and capital requirements, applicable legal requirements and other factors.
(9) References to changes in transfer risk are in the aggregate and associated with exposures in Russia and/or Argentina, driven by safety and soundness considerations under U.S. banking law.
(10) Prime balances are defined as client’s billable balances where Citi provides cash or synthetic prime brokerage services.
(11) Credit derivatives are used to economically hedge a portion of the Corporate Lending portfolio that includes both accrual loans and loans at fair value. Gain / (loss) on loan hedges includes the mark-to-market on the credit derivatives and the mark-to-market on the loans in the portfolio that are at fair value. In the fourth quarter 2024, gain / (loss) on loan hedges included $(6) million related to Corporate Lending, compared to $(131) million in the prior-year period. In the full year 2024, gain / (loss) on loan hedges included $(180) million related to Corporate Lending, compared to $(443) million in the prior-year period. 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 gain / (loss) on loan hedges are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation to reported results, please refer to Appendix G.
