CITIGROUP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER NET INCOME OF $4.30 BILLION
INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS UP 12%
EPS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS $0.83, A 14% INCREASE OVER THE SECOND
QUARTER OF 2002
REVENUES INCREASE 8% TO $19.4 BILLION
New York, NY, July 14, 2003 -- Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) today reported net income
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $4.30 billion. Income from
continuing operations was also $4.30 billion, a 12% increase over the prior year
period and a record for the company. Income per diluted share from continuing
operations was $0.83 rising 14% over the second quarter of 2002. Net income rose
5% over the net income of the second quarter of 2002, which included the
operating income from Travelers Property Casualty, which was subsequently spun
off to shareholders. For the first six months of 2003, Citigroup's income from
continuing operations increased 15% to $8.40 billion, or $1.64 per share.
"Citigroup's performance this year continues to be outstanding, with 12% income
growth in the second quarter driven by an 8% increase in our total revenues. We
also reached an important milestone this quarter, as our total stockholders'
equity and trust preferred securities exceeded $100 billion," said Sanford
I.Weill, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Citigroup.
"Once again, our consumer businesses delivered exceptional income growth of 18%,
led by 63% growth in Retail Banking, which earned over $1 billion this quarter.
Our Corporate and Investment Bank demonstrated its leading competitive
position across a range of products, with market share gains and important new
business wins. The Corporate and Investment Bank results reflect a record
quarter in Fixed Income trading and underwriting, as well as 53% growth in EMEA.
The Private Bank delivered its sixth consecutive record quarter of earnings.
Further, corporate and consumer credit indicators remain encouraging," continued
Weill.
"More customers choose Citigroup than any other financial company in the world
and they are choosing us more and more frequently, leading to top market share
in the capital markets, increases in customer deposits in our global retail
bank, and increasing net flows in our asset management business. We are also
encouraged that talented young people joining the workforce choose Citigroup as
well, as we were among the top five most desirable MBA employers as ranked by
FORTUNE MAGAZINE.
"We are meeting the needs of our communities as well as our customers by
focusing on our commitment to diversity and social responsibility, as FORTUNE
MAGAZINE also named Citigroup one of `America's 50 Best Companies for
Minorities'. Citigroup along with nine other global banks recently adopted the
Equator Principles, a voluntary set of guidelines for managing social and
environmental issues related to the financing of development projects. We have
also maintained our commitment to best-in-class corporate governance, most
recently redesigning our equity programs to focus on long term ownership by
instituting a two-year minimum holding period for shares received through option
exercises, and we are shifting much of our equity-based compensation from
options to restricted stock," said Weill.
Highlights of the quarter included:
- - A record level of revenues, up 8% to $19.4 billion, led by revenue growth
of 24% in Retail Banking, 7% in Capital Markets and Banking and 21% in the
Private Bank.
- - Expenses increased 9%, or $824 million over the second quarter of 2002.
Expense related to severance, the repositioning of Citigroup's business in
Latin America, the additional cost of expensing options, higher pension and
legal expenses, and an increase in the amortization of deferred acquisition
costs in Life and Annuity together accounted for $300 million of the
increase in expenses.
- - Citigroup's Global Corporate and Investment Bank maintained its number one
ranking in Global Debt and Equity for the seventh consecutive quarter, and
continued to rank first in Disclosed Fees and Investment Grade Debt as well
as posting strong positions in High Yield, Global Equities and Announced
M&A.

- - Credit quality indicators have remained stable for both the consumer and
corporate portfolios. Citigroup's provision for credit losses was $2.19
billion in the second quarter. Loss rates in the Global Consumer managed
loan portfolio increased by 12 basis points, to 3.26%, reflecting the
seasonal nature of US card losses as well as higher losses in Germany and
Japan. Consumer managed delinquencies, as measured by loans 90 days past
due, were down slightly from the first quarter. In the Global Corporate and
Investment Bank, the provision for loan losses increased by $182 million
from the prior quarter, as a result of specific reserves being established
in the quarter for several borrowers. Corporate cash basis loans increased
modestly from the prior quarter due to the addition of several merchant
energy, airline and telecom-related credits. Citigroup's reserve for credit
losses was $11.73 billion at the end of the second quarter.
- - Citigroup's stockholders' equity and trust preferred securities reached
$100 billion at June 30, 2003. The company's return on equity was 19.2%.
Citigroup repurchased 8.9 million shares during the second quarter,
bringing the total number of shares repurchased year to date to 43.2
million.
GLOBAL CONSUMER
Income of $2.30 billion for the second quarter, up 18%. Highlights included:
- - CARDS income increased 6% to $768 million. North America income grew 9%, as
revenue increased 5% driven by 4% growth in average managed receivables.
The level of managed receivables reflected changes in acquisition marketing
strategies to improve yields as well as the sale of $1.7 billion in
non-strategic portfolios. Expenses rose 8%, primarily related to marketing
and advertising as well as initial costs for the Home Depot portfolio,
which will be acquired in the third quarter. Credit loss rates improved
from the prior year. International Cards income declined 7%, primarily due
to a reserve release in the prior year quarter. Excluding the reserve
release, income increased 12% driven by strong growth in Asia and EMEA,
comparable loss rates and flat expenses.
- - Income for CONSUMER FINANCE decreased 11%, to $508 million, driven by a 28%
decline in International Consumer Finance income. In North America, income
rose 1% with revenue growth of 7% driven by 13% receivables growth,
including the auto finance business of Golden State Bancorp partly offset
by a decline in insurance revenues. Expenses increased 11%, driven by
higher volumes and the addition of the Golden State portfolio. Loss rates
and delinquencies continued to improve from both the prior year and the
first quarter. International Consumer Finance results reflected continued
difficult business conditions in Japan, offsetting strong results in
Europe. The portfolios in Japan contracted in the quarter due to weak loan
demand and higher pay-downs and charge-offs. Credit costs continue to be
adversely impacted by rising bankruptcies. International results also
included a $94 million release of a tax reserve related to a settlement
with tax authorities.
- - RETAIL BANKING income advanced 63% to $1.05 billion. Income for North
America increased 67% resulting from record earnings in the mortgage
business, the addition of Golden State Bancorp and strong results in
Mexico. Mortgage originations in the company's Consumer Assets Division
doubled to $23.5 billion and customer deposits in Citibanking North America
rose 38%, reflecting the addition of Golden State as well as organic
growth. International Retail Banking income increased 52% with strong
performance across most regions, particularly in Asia, which had increased
investment product sales, and the reduction of losses in Argentina.
GLOBAL CORPORATE AND INVESTMENT BANK
Income of $1.34 billion for the second quarter, up 2%. Highlights included:
- - CAPITAL MARKETS AND BANKING income increased 2% to $1.2 billion, from a
strong quarter in the prior year. Revenue growth of 7% was driven by record
performance in fixed income, which offset lower equities revenues. Expenses
rose 15%, reflecting costs associated with the repositioning of the
company's business in Latin America, increased incentive compensation
expense and higher legal fees. The provision for credit losses, at $286
million, increased by $24 million from the prior year.
- - Income for TRANSACTION SERVICES, which includes Cash, Trade, Treasury
Services, and Global Securities Services, was $187 million, a 13% decrease
from the second quarter of 2002. Revenues fell 6%, reflecting lower
investment gains as well as the continued decline in market values and
interest rates, and a lower level of market activity as compared to the
prior year. Expense growth was held to 1%, reflecting lower headcount and
continued efficiency gains. Customer liability balances increased 14%, to
$96 billion, while assets under custody reached $5.6 trillion, a 4%
increase over the
2

[CITIGROUP LOGO]
prior year.
PRIVATE CLIENT SERVICES
Income of $181 million for the second quarter, down 19%. Difficult equity market
conditions continued to impact results. Total expenses declined 4%, and the
business continued to produce an industry-leading pre-tax margin of 20%. Income
rose 15% from the first quarter of 2003 as major market indexes increased during
the second quarter, driving higher transaction volumes. Revenue per Financial
Consultant was $467,000, declining 3% from the prior year, but up 9% from the
first quarter. Client assets totaled $959 billion at the end of the second
quarter, and balances in Smith Barney's bank deposit program were $42 billion.
Net flows in the quarter were $9 billion, unchanged from the prior year period
and an 80% increase from the first quarter.
GLOBAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Income of $432 million for the second quarter, up 16%. Highlights included:
- - LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES income of $190 million represented a 39%
increase over the prior year, which included significant realized
investment losses. Income for Travelers Life and Annuity increased 97%
reflecting lower net realized losses and higher business volumes partially
offset by lower net investment yields as well as higher amortization of
deferred acquisition costs. Both individual and group annuity balances
increased 5% over the prior year, while life insurance account balances
rose 16%. International Insurance Manufacturing income fell by $32 million.
- - THE PRIVATE BANK's income was $138 million, increasing 22% over the prior
year, the sixth consecutive record income quarter. Revenues rose 21% on the
strength of higher sales volumes of alternative investment products as well
as increased client trading activity and lending. Regionally, results were
strong in the US, Asia, Japan and Latin America. Client business volumes
were $180 billion, a 10% increase over the second quarter of 2002.
- - Income for ASSET MANAGEMENT, which includes Retirement Services, was $104
million, declining 14% from the second quarter of 2002. Revenues fell 13%,
as the impact of positive net flows was offset by weakness in global equity
markets as compared to a year ago and the impact of product mix changes.
Continued rigorous expense management led to an 11% decline in total
expenses, resulting in a pre-tax margin of 36%. Assets under management
increased 12% to $493 billion, boosted by cumulative net inflows of $12
billion, positive market action in the second quarter, and the inclusion of
the investment portfolio of Travelers Property Casualty, which Citigroup
manages on a third party basis. Citigroup Asset Management's share of
proprietary distribution channels was 73% in Primerica Financial Services,
26% in Smith Barney, and 40% in Citibanking North America.
CITIGROUP INTERNATIONAL
Income for Citigroup's international operations increased 8% to $1.33 billion
from the second quarter of 2002. Results for the quarter, which are fully
reflected in the product disclosures above, included:
- - EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA (EMEA) income of $517 million advanced 36%
over the prior year. Income from the corporate and investment bank rose 53%
reflecting a continued positive environment for fixed income trading and
underwriting and improved investment banking results combined with tight
cost controls. Consumer income rose 16% to $169 million on the strength of
25% loan growth across the region.
- - ASIA'S income totaled $429 million, a 10% increase over the prior year.
Consumer income rose 25% on the strength of 13% revenue growth, with strong
growth in cards and retail banking, led by investment product sales.
Corporate and investment bank income declined 6%.
- - JAPAN'S income fell 24% from the second quarter of 2002, to $204 million
driven primarily by the declining results from the company's consumer
finance business there, where both loan volumes and yields have continued
to contract while the provision for loan losses increased. Results for the
quarter included a $94 million release of a tax reserve related to
settlement with tax authorities.
- - LATIN AMERICA generated income of $178 million, representing a 3% decline
from the prior year. Results included costs associated with the
repositioning of the company's businesses in the region. Consumer results
rebounded from a loss in the second quarter of 2002, as the prior year's
results reflected the devaluation and ensuing credit losses in Argentina.
Income for the corporate and investment bank decreased 10% due to a very
strong quarter the prior year in sales and trading.

PROPRIETARY INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES AND CORPORATE/OTHER
For the second quarter of 2003, Citigroup's Proprietary Investment Activities
recorded income of $27 million reflecting both realized gains and higher public
market valuations in the US partly offset by writedowns in the emerging markets
portfolios. Corporate/other income was $25 million in the quarter, a $16 million
decline from the prior year. Treasury results continue to benefit from low
interest rates and a steep yield curve.
