OVERVIEW

Citigroup’s history dates back to the founding of Citibank in 1812. Citigroup’s original corporate predecessor was incorporated in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Following a series of transactions over a number of years, Citigroup Inc. was formed in 1998 upon the merger of Citicorp and Travelers Group Inc.
Citigroup is a global diversified financial services holding company, whose businesses provide consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a broad range of financial products and services, including consumer banking and credit, corporate and investment banking, securities brokerage, trade and securities services and wealth management. Citi has approximately 200 million customer accounts and does business in more than 160 countries and jurisdictions.
Citigroup currently operates, for management reporting purposes, via two primary business segments: Citicorp, consisting of Citi’s Global Consumer Banking businesses and Institutional Clients Group; and Citi Holdings, consisting of businesses and portfolios of assets that Citigroup has determined are not central to its core Citicorp businesses. For a further description of the business segments and the products and services they provide, see “Citigroup Segments” below, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Throughout this report, “Citigroup,” “Citi” and “the Company” refer to Citigroup Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Citigroup’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 3, 2014 (2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K). Additional information about Citigroup is available on Citi’s website at www.citigroup.com. Citigroup’s recent annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, proxy statements, as well as other filings with the SEC, are available free of charge through Citi’s website by clicking on the “Investors” page and selecting “All SEC Filings.” The SEC’s website also contains current reports, information statements, and other information regarding Citi at www.sec.gov.
Certain reclassifications, including a realignment of certain businesses, have been made to the prior periods’ financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. For information on certain recent such reclassifications, see “Citigroup Segments” below and Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As described above, Citigroup is managed pursuant to the following segments:
* Effective in the first quarter of 2014, certain business activities within the ICG segment were realigned and aggregated as Banking and Markets and Securities Services. The change was due to the realignment of the management structure within the ICG segment and had no impact on any total segment-level information. For additional information, see Citi’s Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on April 2, 2014 and Note 3 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following are the four regions in which Citigroup operates. The regional results are fully reflected in the segment results above.

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


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

First Quarter of 2014—Steady Progress on Execution Priorities and Strategy Despite Continued Challenging Operating Environment
Citi’s results for the first quarter of 2014 continued to reflect a challenging operating environment. Compared to the prior-year period, results reflected significantly lower mortgage origination volumes in North America, an uncertain macro environment which negatively impacted fixed income markets within the Institutional Clients Group (ICG), and ongoing spread compression globally. Citi expects these factors will continue to negatively affect the operating environment and Citi’s results during the remainder of 2014. In addition, legal and related expenses remained elevated in the first quarter of 2014 as Citi continues to work through its “legacy” legal issues within Citi Holdings. Legal and related expenses are likely to remain elevated during the remainder of 2014 as Citi works through these and other issues. For a more detailed discussion of these and other risks that could impact Citi’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition during 2014, see “Risk Factors” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Despite these challenges, Citi made progress on its execution priorities, including:

Efficient resource allocation, including disciplined expense management: during the first quarter of 2014, Citi benefitted from savings resulting from its previously-announced repositioning actions, efforts to simplify and streamline the organization as well as improved productivity.
Continued focus on the wind down of Citi Holdings and getting Citi Holdings closer to “break even”: Citi Holdings’ assets declined by $35 billion, or 23%, from the prior-year period, and the net loss was reduced by approximately 65%. Citi also was able to resolve certain legacy legal issues relating to private-label securitization representation and warranty repurchase claims (see discussion below).
Utilization of deferred tax assets (DTAs): Citi reduced its DTAs by approximately $1.1 billion during the first quarter of 2014 (for additional information, see “Income Taxes” below).

While making progress on its execution priorities during the quarter, on March 26, 2014, the Federal Reserve Board announced that it objected to the capital plan submitted by Citi as part of the 2014 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), meaning Citi will not be able to increase its return of capital to shareholders as it had requested. Citi will be permitted, however, to continue with its current capital actions through the first quarter of 2015 (a $1.2 billion common stock repurchase program and a common stock dividend of $0.01 per share per quarter, subject to Board of
 
Directors’ approval). Citi is committed to addressing the Federal Reserve Board’s concerns, expectations and requirements and, at this time, is focused on the 2015 CCAR process. See also “Risk Factors—Business and Operational Risks” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

First Quarter of 2014 Summary Results

Citigroup
Citigroup reported first quarter net income of $3.9 billion or $1.23 per diluted share, compared to $3.8 billion or $1.23 per share in the first quarter of 2013. Results in the first quarter of 2014 included a credit valuation adjustment (CVA) on derivatives (counterparty and own-credit), net of hedges, and debt valuation adjustment (DVA) on Citi’s fair value option debt of $7 million ($4 million after-tax), compared to a negative $319 million (negative $198 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2013. Results in the first quarter of 2014 also included a $210 million tax charge, recorded in Corporate/Other, related to corporate tax reforms enacted in two states. These reforms lowered marginal tax rates, resulting in a reduction in Citigroup’s state deferred tax assets (for additional information on the impact of these reforms on Citi’s DTAs and effective tax rate during the current quarter, see “Income Taxes” below).  
Excluding CVA/DVA in both periods and the tax item in the first quarter of 2014, Citi reported net income of $4.1 billion in the first quarter of 2014, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to $4.0 billion, or $1.29 per share, in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase was driven by lower operating expenses and lower net credit losses, partially offset by lower revenues and a higher effective tax rate (for additional information, see “Income Taxes” below).
Citi’s revenues, net of interest expense, were $20.1 billion in the first quarter of 2014, down 1% versus the prior-year period. Excluding CVA/DVA, revenues were $20.1 billion, down 2% from the first quarter of 2013, as revenues in Citicorp declined 5% while Citi Holdings revenues increased 58% compared to the prior-year period. Net interest revenues of $11.8 billion were 1% higher than in the prior-year period, principally driven by lower funding costs in Citi Holdings. Excluding CVA/DVA, non-interest revenues were $8.4 billion, down 6% from the prior-year period, principally driven by lower revenues in ICG and North America Regional Consumer Banking (RCB) in Citicorp, partially offset by higher non-interest revenues in Citi Holdings.

Operating Expenses
Citigroup expenses decreased 1% versus the prior-year period to $12.1 billion, driven by efficiency savings and the overall decline in Citi Holdings assets, partially offset by higher regulatory and compliance costs, legal and related expenses and repositioning charges in the current quarter. Citi incurred


4



legal and related costs of $945 million (compared to $710 million in the prior-year period) and repositioning charges of $211 million (compared to $148 million in the prior-year period). Excluding legal and related costs, repositioning charges and the impact of foreign exchange translation into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes (FX translation), which lowered reported expenses by approximately $170 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the prior-year period, operating expenses were $11.0 billion compared to $11.3 billion in the prior-year period. Citi expects its repositioning charges in the second quarter of 2014 will remain elevated, due in part to the acceleration of its restructuring efforts in Korea.
Citicorp’s expenses were $10.6 billion, down 2% from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting efficiency savings, partially offset by higher regulatory and compliance costs, legal and related costs and repositioning charges in the current quarter. Citi Holdings’ expenses increased 2% versus the prior-year period to $1.5 billion, primarily due to higher legal and related expenses, partially offset by the continued decline in assets and the resulting decline in operating expenses.

Credit Costs and Allowance for Loan Losses
Citi’s total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims of $2.0 billion declined 20% from the first quarter of 2013. Net credit losses of $2.4 billion were down 15% versus the prior-year period. Consumer net credit losses declined 19% to $2.3 billion, reflecting improvements in the North America mortgage portfolio within Citi Holdings, as well as North America Citi-branded cards in Citicorp. Corporate net credit losses increased to $145 million from $45 million in the prior-year period. Corporate net credit losses in the first quarter of 2014 included approximately $113 million of incremental net credit losses related to the Pemex supplier program in Mexico (for additional information, see “Institutional Clients Group” below).
The net release of allowance for loan losses and unfunded lending commitments was $673 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to a $650 million release in the prior-year period. Citicorp’s net reserve release increased 10% to $328 million, primarily due to a higher reserve release in ICG, partially offset by a lower reserve release in North America RCB. Citi Holdings’ net reserve release decreased 2% to $345 million, substantially all of which related to the North America mortgage portfolio.
Citigroup’s total allowance for loan losses was $18.9 billion at quarter end, or 2.87% of total loans, compared to $23.7 billion, or 3.70%, at the end of the prior-year period. The decline in the total allowance for loan losses reflected the continued wind down of Citi Holdings and overall continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolios.
The Consumer allowance for loan losses was $16.5 billion, or 4.29% of total Consumer loans, at quarter end, compared to $20.9 billion, or 5.32% of total loans, at March 31, 2013. Total non-accrual assets fell to $9.0 billion, a 19% reduction compared to March 31, 2013. Corporate non-accrual loans declined 35% to $1.6 billion, while Consumer non-accrual loans declined 14% to $7.0 billion, both reflecting the continued improvement in credit trends.
 

Capital
Citi continued to grow its regulatory capital during the first quarter of 2014, primarily through net income and a further reduction of its DTAs. Citigroup’s estimated Tier 1 Capital and Tier 1 Common ratios under Basel III were 11.1% and 10.5% as of March 31, 2014, respectively, compared to 9.6% and 9.3% as of March 31, 2013. Citigroup’s estimated Basel III Supplementary Leverage ratio for the first quarter of 2014 was 5.6%. For additional information on Citi’s estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio, Supplementary Leverage ratio and related components, see “Capital Resources” below.

Citicorp
Citicorp net income decreased 8% from the prior-year period to $4.2 billion. CVA/DVA, recorded in the ICG, was negative $7 million (negative $4 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2014, compared to negative $310 million (negative $192 million after-tax) in the prior-year period (for a summary of CVA/DVA by business within ICG for the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, see “Institutional Clients Group” below).
Excluding CVA/DVA and the tax item described above, Citicorp’s net income was $4.4 billion, down 8% from the prior-year period, as lower revenues were partially offset by lower operating expenses and lower cost of credit.
Citicorp revenues, net of interest expense, decreased 3% from the prior-year period to $18.7 billion. Excluding CVA/DVA, Citicorp revenues were $18.7 billion in the first quarter of 2014, down 5% from the prior-year period. Global Consumer Banking (GCB) revenues of $9.3 billion declined 5% versus the prior-year period. North America RCB revenues declined 6% to $4.8 billion, driven by lower mortgage origination revenues in retail banking due to the significant decline in U.S. mortgage refinancing activity as well as ongoing spread compression, partially offset by higher revenues in Citi retail services, reflecting the impact of the Best Buy portfolio acquisition. North America RCB average deposits of $171 billion grew 4% year-over-year and average retail loans of $45 billion grew 4%. Average card loans of $111 billion increased 4%, and purchase sales of $56 billion increased 5% versus the prior-year period. For additional information on the results of operations of North America RCB for the first quarter of 2014, see “Global Consumer Banking—North America Regional Consumer Banking” below.
International GCB revenues (consisting of Asia RCB, Latin America RCB and EMEA RCB) decreased 3% versus the prior-year period to $4.5 billion. Excluding the impact of FX translation, international GCB revenues rose 3% from the prior-year period, driven by 5% revenue growth in Latin America RCB and 1% growth in Asia RCB, partially offset by a 2% decline in EMEA RCB (for the impact of FX translation on the first quarter of 2014 results of operations for each of EMEA RCB, Latin America RCB, and Asia RCB, see the table accompanying the discussion of each respective business’ results of operations below). This growth in international RCB revenues, excluding the impact of FX translation, mainly reflected volume growth in Latin America RCB and growth in fees in Asia RCB, partially offset by continued spread

compression as well as the market exits in EMEA RCB, the impact of regulatory changes in certain markets and the ongoing repositioning of Citi’s franchise in Korea. For additional information on the results of operations of EMEA RCB, Latin America RCB and Asia RCB for the first quarter of 2014, see “Global Consumer Banking” below.
Year-over-year, international GCB average deposits were unchanged, while average retail loans increased 8%, investment sales increased 2%, average card loans increased 3%, and international card purchase sales increased 4%, all excluding the impact of FX translation as well as approximately $2.8 billion of Credicard loans in Brazil, which was moved to discontinued operations in Corporate/Other in the second quarter of 2013.
ICG revenues were $9.2 billion in the first quarter of 2014, down 4% from the prior-year period. Excluding CVA/DVA, ICG revenues were $9.2 billion, or 7% lower than the prior-year period. Banking revenues of $4.1 billion increased 1% from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting growth in corporate lending and private bank revenues, partially offset by lower investment banking revenues. Investment banking revenues decreased 10% versus the prior-year period, driven by a 19% decline in debt underwriting revenues to $578 million and a 14% decline in advisory revenues to $175 million, partially offset by 20% growth in equity underwriting revenues to $299 million. Private bank revenues, excluding CVA/DVA, increased 6% to $668 million from the prior-year period, driven by growth in investments and capital market products. Corporate lending revenues increased 28% to $398 million, including $17 million of mark-to-market losses on hedges related to accrual loans compared to a $24 million loss in the prior-year period. Excluding the mark-to-market impact on hedges related to accrual loans, corporate lending revenues rose 24% versus the prior-year period to $415 million as higher loan balances and lower funding costs were partially offset by lower loan yields. Treasury and trade solutions revenues increased 1% versus the prior-year period as growth in fees and volumes were partially offset by the ongoing impact of spread compression globally.
Markets and securities services revenues of $5.2 billion, excluding CVA/DVA, declined 12% from the prior-year period. Fixed income markets revenues of $3.9 billion, excluding CVA/DVA, declined 18% from the prior-year period, reflecting the uncertain global macro environment as well as strong performance in the prior-year period in securitized products and local markets rates and currencies. Equity markets revenues of $883 million, excluding CVA/DVA, were up 13% versus the prior-year period, driven by improved derivatives revenues. Securities services revenues declined 1% to $561 million versus the prior-year period reflecting lower net interest revenue, partially offset by an increase in assets under custody and overall customer activity. For additional information on the results of operations of ICG for the first quarter of 2014, see “Institutional Clients Group” below.
Corporate/Other revenues increased to $141 million from $6 million in the prior-year period, mainly reflecting higher investment revenues and hedging activities. For additional
 
information on the results of operations of Corporate/Other for the first quarter of 2014, see “Corporate/Other” below.
Citicorp end-of-period loans increased 7% versus the prior-year period to $575 billion, with 2% growth in Consumer loans and 12% growth in Corporate loans.

Citi Holdings
Citi Holdings’ net loss was $284 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to a net loss of $804 million in the first quarter of 2013. The improvement in the net loss was due to higher revenues and lower net credit losses, partially offset by the increase in expenses driven by higher legal and related costs.
Citi Holdings’ revenues increased 61% to $1.5 billion from the prior-year period. Excluding CVA/DVA ($14 million in the current quarter, compared to a negative $9 million in the prior-year period), Citi Holdings revenues increased 58% to $1.4 billion from the prior-year period. Net interest revenues increased 20% year-over-year to $903 million, largely driven by lower funding costs. Non-interest revenues, excluding CVA/DVA, increased to $539 million from $161 million in the prior-year period, driven by the absence of repurchase reserve builds for representation and warranty claims in the first quarter of 2014, as well as higher levels of mark-to-market gains and a gain on a debt transaction that Citi does not expect to recur in future periods. For additional information on the results of operations of Citi Holdings for the first quarter of 2014, see “Citi Holdings” below.
Citi Holdings’ assets were $114 billion, 23% below the prior-year period, and represented approximately 6% of Citi’s total GAAP assets and 17% of its estimated risk-weighted assets under Basel III (based on the “Advanced Approaches” for determining risk-weighted assets).

1Q14 vs. 1Q13
Net income decreased 5%, mainly driven by lower revenues and lower loan loss reserve releases, partially offset by lower expenses and net credit losses as well as a lower effective tax rate due to changes in state and local taxes.
Revenues decreased 6% primarily due to lower retail banking revenues, partially offset by higher retail services revenues. Retail banking revenues of $1.1 billion declined 28% due to lower mortgage origination revenues driven by significantly lower U.S. mortgage refinancing activity due to higher interest rates, partially offset by a sale-leaseback gain (approximately $70 million) related to the sale and leaseback of 90 Citibank, N.A. branches in California during the current quarter. In addition, retail banking continued to experience ongoing spread compression in the deposit portfolios within the consumer and commercial banking businesses. Partially offsetting the spread compression was growth in average deposits (4%), average commercial loans (9%) and average retail loans (4%). While Citi believes mortgage revenues have broadly stabilized, retail banking revenues will likely continue to be negatively impacted during the remainder of 2014 by the lower mortgage origination revenues and spread compression in the deposit portfolios.
Cards revenues increased 3%. In Citi-branded cards, revenues were unchanged at $2.0 billion as higher purchase sales (4% increase from the prior-year period) and continued improvement in net interest spreads (reflecting higher yields, as promotional balances continued to represent a smaller percentage of the portfolio total, as well as lower funding costs) were offset by a 3% decline in average loans. Citi-branded cards net interest revenue was unchanged, as the higher net interest spreads were offset by the decline in average loans, reflecting the continued emphasis on reducing promotional balances and increased payment rates. Citi-branded cards non-interest revenue declined 2% due to higher affinity rebates.
Citi retail services revenues increased 8% primarily due to an increase in net interest revenues driven by the Best Buy portfolio acquisition in September 2013, partially offset by continued declines in non-interest revenue driven by improving credit and the resulting impact on contractual partner payments. Citi retail services net interest revenues increased 10% driven by a 19% increase in average loans, primarily due to the Best Buy acquisition, and lower funding costs, partially offset by the continued decline in net interest spreads due to the higher percentage of promotional balances within the portfolio, which Citi expects could continue in the near term. Purchase sales in retail services increased 9% from the prior-year period, driven by the acquisition of the Best Buy portfolio.
Expenses decreased 3%, reflecting ongoing cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by an increase in retail services expenses due to the impact of the Best Buy portfolio acquisition. Ongoing cost reduction initiatives included the repositioning of the mortgage business due to the decline in mortgage refinancing activity, as well as ongoing rationalization of the branch footprint, including reducing the number of overall branches.
 
Provisions decreased 7%, as lower net credit losses in the Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services portfolios were partially offset by lower loan loss reserve releases ($271 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $370 million in the prior-year period), primarily related to cards, as well as reserve builds for new loans originated in the Best Buy portfolio. Citi expects loan loss reserve releases in the cards portfolios to continue in the near term, but likely at lower levels than prior periods as net credit losses have generally stabilized in these portfolios.

The discussion of the results of operations for EMEA RCB below excludes the impact of FX translation for all periods presented. Presentation of the results of operations, excluding the impact of FX translation, are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes the presentation of EMEA RCB’s results excluding the impact of FX translation is a more meaningful depiction of the underlying fundamentals of the business. For a reconciliation of certain of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.
1Q14 vs. 1Q13
Net income of $10 million compared to net income of $1 million in the prior-year period as lower expenses and lower net credit losses were partially offset by lower revenues, primarily due to the sales of Citi’s consumer operations in Turkey and Romania during 2013.
 Revenues decreased 2%, mainly driven by the lower revenues resulting from the sales of the consumer operations referenced above, partially offset by higher volumes in core markets, particularly in Russia and Poland. Net interest revenue decreased 2%, due to continued spread compression in cards and a 13% decrease in average cards loans, primarily due to the sales of the consumer operations in Turkey and Romania, partially offset by growth in average retail loans of 11%. Interest rate caps on credit cards, particularly in Poland, and the continued low interest rate environment were the main contributors to the lower net interest spreads. Citi expects continued regulatory changes, including caps on interchange rates, and spread compression to continue to negatively impact revenues in EMEA RCB during the remainder of 2014. Non-interest revenue decreased 2%, mainly reflecting lower revenues due to the sales of the consumer operations in Turkey and Romania, partially offset by higher investment fees due to an increase in the sale of higher spread products. Cards purchase sales decreased 14% and average deposits decreased 1%, each due to the sales of the consumer operations in Turkey and Romania. Excluding the impact of these divestitures, cards purchase sales increased 11% and average deposits increased 11%.
 Expenses declined 8%, primarily due to repositioning savings from the sales of the consumer operations in Turkey and Romania, partially offset by continued investment spending on new internal operating platforms and higher volume-related expenses.
 Provisions declined 31% due to a 59% decrease in net credit losses largely resulting from the sales of the consumer operations in Turkey and Romania, partially offset by the absence of a loan loss reserve release in the current quarter. Net credit losses also continued to reflect stabilizing credit quality and Citi’s strategic move toward lower-risk customers.
To date, ongoing political tensions in Russia and the Ukraine have not had a material impact on the results of operations of EMEA RCB, although future developments, including the imposition of any additional sanctions against Russian entities, business sectors, individuals or otherwise, could negatively impact the business. For additional information on Citi’s exposures in these countries, see “Managing Global Risk—Country and Cross-Border Risk” below.

The discussion of the results of operations for Latin America RCB below excludes the impact of FX translation for all periods presented. Presentation of the results of operations, excluding the impact of FX translation, are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes the presentation of Latin America RCB’s results excluding the impact of FX translation is a more meaningful depiction of the underlying fundamentals of the business. For a reconciliation of certain of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.

1Q14 vs. 1Q13
Net income decreased 8% as higher credit costs and higher expenses were partially offset by higher revenues.
Revenues increased 5%, primarily due to volume growth in retail banking and cards, partially offset by continued spread compression and slower overall economic growth across the region, including in Mexico, which Citi expects will continue during the remainder of 2014. Net interest revenue increased 4% due to increased volumes, partially offset by spread compression. Non-interest revenue increased 5%, primarily due to higher fees from increased business volumes in retail and cards as well as a gain on sale (approximately $40 million) related to Citi’s partial sale of its indirect investment in Banco de Chile during the current quarter. Retail banking revenues increased 3% as average loans increased 8%, investment sales increased 14% and average deposits increased 5%. Cards revenues increased 8% as average loans increased 9% and purchase sales increased 5%, excluding the impact of Credicard (see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). This increase in overall cards revenues was partially offset by the lower economic growth and slowing cards purchase sales in Mexico due to the previously-disclosed fiscal reforms enacted in 2013, which included higher income and other taxes and negatively impacted consumer behavior. Citi expects these trends as well as spread compression could continue to negatively impact revenues in Latin America RCB.
Expenses increased 4% due to increased investment spending as well as compliance and volume-related costs, partially offset by efficiency savings.
Provisions increased 21%, primarily due to higher net credit losses as well as a higher loan loss reserve build. Net credit losses increased 20%, driven primarily by Mexico cards and, to a lesser extent, the personal loan portfolio, as the portfolios continued to season. In addition, Mexico fiscal reforms (as discussed above) negatively impacted card delinquencies in Mexico across the industry. The continued impact of the fiscal reforms and economic slowdown in Mexico could cause net credit losses in Latin America RCB to remain elevated. Any further deterioration in Citi’s Mexican homebuilders clients could also result in higher net credit losses, although any losses related to those homebuilder clients should be charged against existing loan loss reserves as of March 31, 2014, and thus should be neutral to overall cost of credit. The loan loss reserve build increased 63%, primarily due to portfolio growth and seasoning.
For information on the impact, and potential future impacts, to Latin America RCB results of operations from foreign exchange controls in certain countries, see “Managing Global Risk—Country and Cross-Border Risk—Cross-Border Risk” below.

The discussion of the results of operations for Asia RCB below excludes the impact of FX translation for all periods presented. Presentation of the results of operations, excluding the impact of FX translation, are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes the presentation of Asia RCB’s results excluding the impact of FX translation is a more meaningful depiction of the underlying fundamentals of the business. For a reconciliation of certain of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.

1Q14 vs. 1Q13
Net income increased 1%, primarily due to lower credit costs and slightly higher revenues, partially offset by higher expenses.
Revenues increased 1%, as higher non-interest revenue, primarily due to growth in fees resulting from the previously-announced distribution agreement with AIA Group Limited (AIA) was partially offset by lower net interest revenue. Net interest revenue declined 2%, primarily driven by regulatory changes, continued spread compression and the ongoing repositioning of the franchise in Korea. While Citi continues to reposition its franchise in Korea, including the previously-announced branch closures, Citi believes revenues in Korea have broadly stabilized as of the end of the current quarter. Non-interest revenue increased 7%, mainly driven by the increased revenues from the AIA distribution agreement, which Citi expects should continue. This increase was partially offset by a 7% decline in investment sales volume due to investor sentiment, reflecting overall market uncertainty.
Average retail deposits declined 2% resulting from continued efforts to rebalance the deposit portfolio mix. Average retail loans increased 7% (11% excluding Korea). Cards purchase sales grew 6%, with growth in certain markets, including China, India, Hong Kong and Singapore. While certain markets in the region, including China, India, Malaysia and the Philippines, experienced revenue growth during the quarter, Citi expects spread compression and regulatory changes in several markets across the region will continue to have a negative impact on Asia RCB revenues during the remainder of 2014.
Expenses increased 1%, as investment spending, particularly in China cards, was partially offset by efficiency and repositioning savings. As discussed in the “Executive Summary” above, Citi believes repositioning charges in Asia RCB could be higher in the second quarter of 2014, largely due to the acceleration of its repositioning efforts in Korea.
Provisions decreased 6%, as loan loss reserve releases were partially offset by higher net credit losses, primarily reflecting the impact of one counterparty in the commercial portfolio.

INSTITUTIONAL CLIENTS GROUP

Institutional Clients Group (ICG) provides corporate, institutional, public sector and high-net-worth clients around the world with a full range of wholesale banking products and services, including fixed income and equity sales and trading, foreign exchange, prime brokerage, derivative services, equity and fixed income research, corporate lending, investment banking and advisory services, private banking, cash management, trade finance and securities services. ICG transacts with clients in both cash instruments and derivatives, including fixed income, foreign currency, equity and commodity products. ICG’s international presence is supported by trading floors in 75 countries and a proprietary network in over 95 countries and jurisdictions. At March 31, 2014, ICG had approximately $1 trillion of assets and $574 billion of deposits, while two of its businesses, securities services and issuer services, managed $14.7 trillion of assets under custody.
ICG revenue is generated primarily from fees and spreads associated with these activities. ICG earns fee income for assisting clients in clearing transactions, providing brokerage and investment banking services and other such activities. Revenue generated from these activities is recorded in Commissions and fees and Investment banking. In addition, as a market maker, ICG facilitates transactions, including holding product inventory to meet client demand, and earns the differential between the price at which it buys and sells the products. These price differentials and the unrealized gains and losses on the inventory are recorded in Principal transactions. ICG interest income earned on inventory and loans held less interest paid to customers on deposits is recorded as Net interest revenue. Revenue is also generated from transaction processing and assets under custody and administration.
Previously, ICG was composed of Securities and Banking and Transaction Services. Effective in the first quarter of 2014, certain business activities within Securities and Banking and Transaction Services were realigned and aggregated as Banking and Markets and Securities Services within the ICG segment. The change was due to the realignment of the management structure within the ICG segment and had no impact on any total segment-level information. For additional information, see “Overview” above.

Hedges on accrual loans reflect the mark-to-market on credit derivatives used to economically hedge the corporate loan accrual portfolio. The fixed premium costs of these hedges is netted against the corporate lending revenues to reflect the cost of credit protection.

The discussion of the results of operations for ICG below excludes the impact of CVA/DVA as well as the impact of gains/(losses) on hedges on accrual loans for all periods presented. Presentation of the results of operations, excluding the impact of these items, are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes the presentation of ICG’s results excluding the impact of these items is a more meaningful depiction of the underlying fundamentals of the business. For a reconciliation of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.

1Q14 vs. 1Q13
Net income decreased 8%, primarily driven by lower revenues, partially offset by lower expenses and lower credit costs.

Revenues decreased 7%, reflecting lower revenues in fixed income markets and investment banking, partially offset by higher revenues in equity markets, corporate lending and the private bank. Citi expects revenues in ICG will likely continue to reflect the overall market environment.
Investment banking revenues decreased 10%, primarily reflecting a decline in overall investment banking wallet share due to timing of transactions and lower issuance volume. Debt underwriting revenues decreased 19%, in-line with market activity, driven by lower loan and bond underwriting fees. Advisory revenues decreased 14%, reflecting an acceleration of M&A deals into the fourth quarter of 2013. Equity underwriting revenues increased 20%, driven by increased market activity.
Treasury and trade solutions revenues increased 1%, as higher balances and fee growth was partially offset by the ongoing impact of spread compression globally. End-of-period deposit balances increased 14% (for additional information, see “Managing Global Risk—Market Risk—Funding and Liquidity Risk” below) and average trade loans increased 18%, including the impact of the consolidation of approximately $7 billion of trade loans during the second quarter of 2013.
Corporate lending revenues increased 24%, as higher loan balances and lower funding costs were partially offset by lower loan yields. Citi expects that demand for Corporate loans may remain episodic, as many of its target Corporate loan clients remain highly liquid.
Private bank revenues increased 6% due to growth in managed investments, including the impact of higher client assets under management, and capital markets products, particularly structured products. Revenue growth in lending and deposits, primarily driven by growth in client volumes, was largely offset by continued spread compression.
Fixed income markets revenues decreased 18%, primarily reflecting the uncertain emerging market and macroeconomic environment, as well as strong performance in the prior-year period in securitized products and local markets rates and currencies. Local markets performance decreased as a result of the volatile market environment and purposefully lower risk levels. G10 rates decreased as a result of lower client volumes. Securitized products results declined, particularly in North America, due to lower investor demand compared to the prior-year period, which benefited from a positive spread environment and investor appetite for structured products. Improved credit-related products results
reflected increased high grade and distressed flow trading, which was partially offset by declines in emerging markets credit products.
 
Equity markets revenues increased 13%, primarily due to improved derivatives as well as strong corporate client flows. Cash trading performance was unchanged as growth in North America was offset by declines in Asia.
Securities services revenues decreased 1% reflecting lower net interest revenue due to a reduction in deposits and ongoing spread compression, partially offset by an increase in volumes, assets under custody and overall client activity. Citi expects spread compression will continue to negatively impact securities services net interest revenues in the near term.

Expenses decreased 2%, primarily reflecting reduced headcount and the impact of lower performance-based compensation, partially offset by increased regulatory and compliance costs, higher legal and related costs and higher repositioning charges.
Provisions decreased 58%, primarily reflecting higher loan loss reserve releases and an improvement in the provision for unfunded lending commitments in the Corporate loan portfolio. Included in ICG credit costs in the current quarter was approximately $165 million of incremental credit costs related to the Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) supplier program (for additional information, see Citi’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2014 and “Institutional Clients Group Transaction Services” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The vast majority of the credit costs were associated with Citi’s direct exposure to Oceanografia S.A. de C.V. (OSA) (as previously disclosed, approximately $33 million) and uncertainty about Pemex’s obligation to pay Citi for a portion of the accounts receivable Citi validated with Pemex as of year-end 2013 (approximately $113 million). The remaining incremental credit costs was associated with an additional supplier to Pemex within the Pemex supplier program that was found to have similar issues.
To date, ongoing political tensions in Russia and the Ukraine have not had a material impact on the results of operations of ICG, although future developments, including the imposition of any additional sanctions against Russian entities, business sectors, individuals or otherwise, could negatively impact the business. For additional information on Citi’s exposures in these countries, see “Managing Global Risk—Country and Cross-Border Risk” below.

CORPORATE/OTHER
Corporate/Other includes unallocated global staff functions (including finance, risk, human resources, legal and compliance), other corporate expenses and unallocated global operations and technology expenses, Corporate Treasury and discontinued operations. At March 31, 2014, Corporate/Other had approximately $323 billion of assets, or 17% of Citigroup’s total assets, consisting primarily of Citi’s liquidity portfolio (approximately $111 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $156 billion of liquid available-for-sale securities). For additional information, see “Balance Sheet Review” and “Managing Global Risk—Market Risk—Funding and Liquidity” below.

CITI HOLDINGS
Citi Holdings contains businesses and portfolios of assets that Citigroup has determined are not central to its core Citicorp businesses. As of March 31, 2014, Citi Holdings assets were approximately $114 billion, a decrease of 23% year-over-year and 3% from December 31, 2013. The decline in assets of $3 billion from December 31, 2013 primarily consisted of net pay-downs. Also as of March 31, 2014, Consumer assets in Citi Holdings were approximately $101 billion, or approximately 89% of Citi Holdings assets. Of the Consumer assets, approximately $71 billion, or 70%, consisted of North America residential mortgages (residential first mortgages and home equity loans), including Consumer mortgages originated by Citi’s legacy CitiFinancial North America business (approximately $11 billion, or 16%, of the $71 billion as of March 31, 2014).
As of March 31, 2014, Citi Holdings represented approximately 6% of Citi’s GAAP assets and 17% of its estimated risk-weighted assets under Basel III (based on the “Advanced Approaches” for determining risk-weighted assets).

The discussion of the results of operations for Citi Holdings below excludes the impact of CVA/DVA for all periods presented. Presentation of the results of operations, excluding the impact of CVA/DVA, are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes the presentation of Citi Holdings’ results excluding the impact of CVA/DVA is a more meaningful depiction of the underlying fundamentals of the business. For a reconciliation of these metrics to the reported results, see the table above.

1Q14 vs. 1Q13
The net loss decreased by 63% to $292 million, primarily due to higher revenues and lower net credit losses.
Revenues increased 58%, primarily driven by the absence of residential mortgage repurchase reserve builds for representation and warranty claims in the current quarter as well as higher levels of mark-to-market gains versus the prior-year period, lower funding costs and a gain on a debt transaction (approximately $75 million). Net interest revenues increased 20%, primarily due to the lower funding costs. Non-interest revenues increased by $378 million, primarily driven by the absence of the repurchase reserve builds as well as the higher levels of mark-to-market gains and the gain on the debt transaction, which Citi does not expect to recur in future periods.
Expenses increased 2%, primarily due to higher legal and related costs ($784 million compared to $646 million in the prior-year period) driven largely by legacy private-label securitization and other mortgage-related issues (including approximately $100 million in incremental accruals related to the settlement to resolve certain private-label securitization claims announced in the first quarter of 2014 (for additional information, see Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)). Excluding legal and related costs, expenses declined 13% versus the prior-year period driven by the continued decline in assets and the resulting decline in operating expenses.
Provisions decreased 56%, driven by a 44% decline in net credit losses primarily due to improvements in North America mortgages and overall lower asset levels. Loan loss reserve releases decreased 2% to $345 million, substantially all of which related to the North America mortgage portfolio.

 
Japan Consumer Finance
In 2008, Citi decided to exit its Japan Consumer Finance business and has liquidated approximately 92% of the portfolio since that time. While the portfolio has been significantly reduced, Citi continues to monitor various aspects of this legacy business relating to the charging of “gray zone” interest, including customer defaults, refund claims and litigation, as well as financial, legislative, regulatory, judicial and other political developments. Gray zone interest represents interest at rates that are legal but for which claims may not be enforceable. For additional information, see “Citi Holdings” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At March 31, 2014, Citi’s reserves related to customer refunds in the Japan Consumer Finance business were $454 million, compared to $434 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in the reserve primarily resulted from a reserve build of $73 million due to a decline in customer refund claims that was less than previously expected, offset by payments made to customers.
Citi continues to monitor and evaluate developments relating to the charging of gray zone interest and the potential impact to both currently and previously outstanding loans in this legacy business as well as its reserves related thereto. The potential amount of losses and their impact on Citi is subject to significant uncertainty and continues to be difficult to predict.

ASSETS

Cash and Deposits with Banks
Cash and deposits with banks is composed of both Cash and due from banks and Deposits with banks. Cash and due from banks includes (i) cash on hand at Citi’s domestic and overseas offices, and (ii) non-interest-bearing balances due from banks, including non-interest-bearing demand deposit accounts with correspondent banks, central banks (such as the Federal Reserve Bank), and other banks or depository institutions for normal operating purposes. Deposits with banks includes interest-bearing balances, demand deposits and time deposits held in or due from banks (including correspondent banks, central banks and other banks or depository institutions) maintained for, among other things, normal operating and regulatory reserve requirement purposes.
During the first quarter of 2014, cash and deposits with banks increased 3% sequentially driven by growth in retained earnings and lower net trading account assets (as discussed below). Year-over-year, cash and deposits with banks increased 18%, primarily driven by deposit growth mainly in Institutional Clients Group (ICG) as well as Corporate/Other where Citi issued tenored time deposits to further diversify its funding sources. For further information on Citi’s deposits, see
 


“Managing Global Risk—Market Risk—Funding and Liquidity” below.
Average cash balances were $205 billion in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $204 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $163 billion in the prior year period.

Federal Funds Sold and Securities Borrowed or Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (Reverse Repos)
Federal funds sold consist of unsecured advances to third parties of excess balances in reserve accounts held at the Federal Reserve Bank. Citi’s federal funds sold were not significant for the periods presented.
Reverse repos and securities borrowed increased 2% quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to a change in the asset mix in the businesses in Markets and securities services within ICG. Reverse repos and securities borrowed decreased 3% versus the first quarter of 2013, primarily due to a reduction in trading activity in Markets and securities services.
For further information regarding these balance sheet categories, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


29



Trading Account Assets
Trading account assets declined 3% during the first quarter of 2014 and 10% versus the first quarter of 2013 due to reduced inventory held in the businesses in Markets and securities services within ICG. Average trading account assets were $234 billion in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $239 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $265 billion in the first quarter of 2013.
For further information on Citi’s trading account assets, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investments
Investments increased 3% year-over-year as Citi maintained a liquid balance sheet with a well-diversified and high quality portfolio. The growth was predominantly due to a $10 billion or 11% increase in U.S. government securities and a $3 billion or 4% increase in high quality foreign sovereign debt securities.
For further information on Citi’s Investments, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans
Loans represent the largest asset category of Citi’s balance sheet. Citi’s total loans, net of unearned income, were $664 billion at March 31, 2014, compared to $665 billion at December 31, 2013 and $643 billion at March 31, 2013. The discussion of loans throughout this section excludes a $6 billion impact of foreign exchange translation versus the prior year period as well as approximately $2.8 billion of Credicard loans in Brazil, which was moved to discontinued operations in Corporate/Other in the second quarter of 2013.
Excluding these items, Citi’s loans increased 4% from the prior year period and remained relatively stable quarter-over-quarter, as loan growth within both Consumer and Corporate loans within Citicorp continued to outpace the ongoing wind-down of Citi Holdings. At the end of the first quarter of 2014, Consumer and Corporate loans represented 58% and 42%, respectively, of Citi’s total loans.
Citicorp loans increased 9% from the prior year period, with growth in both the Consumer and Corporate loan portfolios. Consumer loans grew 5% from the prior year period. In North America, Consumer loans grew 4% from the prior year period, primarily reflecting the addition of the approximately $7 billion of credit card loans as a result of the acquisition of the Best Buy portfolio in the third quarter of 2013. Internationally, Consumer loans increased 6% from the prior year period, led by growth in Mexico, China, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Corporate loans grew 12% from the prior year period, with 12% growth in Asia, 11% growth in Latin America, and 17% growth in North America (including the consolidation of the $7 billion trade loan portfolio in the second quarter of 2013). Within the Corporate segment, traditional corporate lending balances increased 8% from the prior year period, as extended commitments were funded and new loans were originated for target clients. Citi expects demand for new Corporate loan commitments may remain episodic, as many of its target clients remain highly liquid. In treasury and trade solutions in Banking within ICG, loans grew 14% from the
 
prior year period, with growth in each region reflecting strong originations in trade finance throughout the year. Private bank loans in Banking within ICG grew by 16% from the prior year period, led by growth in Asia and North America.
Citi Holdings loans declined 17% year-over-year, due to continued run-off and asset sales.
During the first quarter of 2014, average loans of $659 billion yielded an average rate of 6.9%, compared to $659 billion and 7.0% in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $643 billion and 7.2% in the first quarter of 2013.
For further information on Citi’s loan portfolios, see generally “Managing Global Risk—Credit Risk” and “— Country Risk” below as well as Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Assets
Other assets consist of brokerage receivables, goodwill, intangibles and mortgage servicing rights, in addition to other assets (including, among other items, loans held-for-sale, deferred tax assets, equity-method investments, interest and fees receivable, premises and equipment, certain end-user derivatives in a net receivable position, repossessed assets and other receivables).
Other assets increased 4% sequentially primarily due to increased brokerage receivables driven by normal business fluctuations. Year-over-year, other assets declined 5% primarily due to a reduction in loans held-for-sale.

LIABILITIES

Deposits
For a discussion of Citi’s deposits, see “Managing Global Risk —Market Risk—Funding and Liquidity” below.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Loaned or Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Repos)
Federal funds purchased consist of unsecured advances of excess balances in reserve accounts held at the Federal Reserve Bank from third parties. Citi’s federal funds purchased were not significant for the periods presented.
Repos decreased 6% sequentially and 14% from the prior year period, primarily driven by a reduction in trading positions in the Markets and securities services businesses within ICG.
For further information on Citi’s secured financing transactions, see “Managing Global Risk—Market Risk—Funding and Liquidity” below. See also Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these balance sheet categories.



30



Trading Account Liabilities
Trading account liabilities increased by 14% sequentially and 3% versus the prior year period, predominantly due to an increase in short positions in the Markets and securities services businesses within ICG. Average trading account liabilities were $72 billion during the first quarter of 2014, compared to $66 billion in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $72 billion in the first quarter of 2013.
For further information on Citi’s trading account liabilities, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt
For information on Citi’s long-term and short-term debt borrowings, see “Managing Global Risk—Market Risk—Funding and Liquidity” below and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Liabilities
Other liabilities consist of brokerage payables and other liabilities (including, among other items, accrued expenses and other payables, deferred tax liabilities, certain end-user derivatives in a net payable position, and reserves for legal claims, taxes, repositioning, unfunded lending commitments, and other matters).
Other liabilities increased 8% sequentially, and decreased 5% from the prior year period, each due to changes in the levels of brokerage payables driven by normal business fluctuations.

The supplemental information presented in the table above reflects Citigroup’s consolidated GAAP balance sheet by reporting segment as of March 31, 2014. The respective segment information depicts the assets and liabilities managed by each segment as of such date. While this presentation is not defined by GAAP, Citi believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of the balance sheet components managed by the underlying business segments, as well as the beneficial inter-relationships of the asset and liability dynamics of the balance sheet components among Citi’s business segments.
(2)
Consolidating eliminations for total Citigroup and Citigroup parent company assets and liabilities are recorded within the Corporate/Other segment.
(3)
The total stockholders’ equity and the majority of long-term debt of Citigroup reside in the Citigroup parent company Consolidated Balance Sheet. Citigroup allocates stockholders’ equity and long-term debt to its businesses through inter-segment allocations as shown above.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Citigroup enters into various types of off-balance-sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Citi’s involvement in these arrangements can take many different forms, including without limitation:
purchasing or retaining residual and other interests in unconsolidated special purpose entities, such as credit card receivables and mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securitization entities;
holding senior and subordinated debt, interests in limited and general partnerships and equity interests in other unconsolidated special purpose entities;
providing guarantees, indemnifications, loan commitments, letters of credit and representations and warranties; and
entering into operating leases for property and equipment.

Citi enters into these arrangements for a variety of business purposes. The securitization arrangements offer investors access to specific cash flows and risks created through the securitization process. The securitization arrangements also assist Citi and Citi’s customers in monetizing their financial assets at more favorable rates than Citi or the customers could otherwise obtain.
The table below shows where a discussion of Citi’s various off-balance-sheet arrangements may be found in this Form 10-Q. In addition, see “Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates—Securitizations” and Notes 1, 22 and 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citigroup’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

For additional information on Citi’s capital resources, including an overview of Citigroup’s capital management framework, as well as additional information regarding the adoption and implementation of the final U.S. Basel III rules (Final Basel III Rules), see “Capital Resources” and “Risk Factors—Regulatory Risks” in Citigroup’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Current Regulatory Capital Standards

Overview
Citi is subject to risk-based capital standards issued by the Federal Reserve Board which, commencing with 2014, constitute the substantial adoption of the Final Basel III Rules, such as those governing the composition of regulatory capital (including the application of regulatory capital adjustments and deductions) and, for the first quarter of 2014, the Basel I credit risk and Basel II.5 market risk capital rules for deriving risk-weighted assets.
In addition, under the Final Basel III Rules Citi, as with principally all U.S. banking organizations, is required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 Leverage ratio of 4% commencing in 2014. The Tier 1 Leverage ratio, a non-risk-based measure of capital adequacy, is defined as Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of quarterly adjusted average total assets less amounts deducted from Tier 1 Capital.

 


Basel III Transition Arrangements
The Final Basel III Rules contain several differing, largely multi-year transition provisions (i.e., “phase-ins” and “phase-outs”) with respect to the stated minimum Tier 1 Common and Tier 1 Capital ratio requirements, substantially all regulatory adjustments and deductions, non-qualifying Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital instruments (such as non-grandfathered trust preferred securities and certain subordinated debt issuances), and the capital buffers. All of these transition provisions, with the exception of the phase-out of non-qualifying trust preferred securities from Tier 2 Capital, will be fully implemented by January 1, 2019 (full implementation).
Under the Final Basel III Rules, commencing January 1, 2015, Citi will be required to maintain stated minimum Tier 1 Common, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios of 4.5%, 6% and 8%, respectively. Further, when fully implemented by January 1, 2019, Citi will be subject to substantially higher effective minimum ratio requirements due to the imposition of an additional 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer and at least a 2% global systemically important bank (G-SIB) surcharge. Accordingly, Citi currently anticipates that its effective minimum Tier 1 Common, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratio requirements as of January 1, 2019 will be at least 9%, 10.5% and 12.5%, respectively.



34



The following chart sets forth the transitional progression to full implementation under the Final Basel III Rules of the regulatory capital components (exclusive of the potential imposition of an additional Countercyclical Capital Buffer) comprising the effective minimum risk-based capital ratios.
Basel III Transition Arrangements: Minimum Risk-Based Capital Ratios
 

(1) The Final Basel III Rules do not address G-SIBs. However, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated it intends to issue rules which would be consistent with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s (Basel Committee) G-SIB rules. As such, the transitional progression reflected in the chart is consistent with the phase-in arrangement under the Basel Committee’s G-SIB rules. Citi anticipates that it will likely be subject to at least a 2% G-SIB surcharge.

The following chart presents the transition arrangements (phase-in and phase-out) under the Final Basel III Rules for significant regulatory capital adjustments and deductions relative to Citi.

Goodwill (including goodwill “embedded” in the valuation of significant common stock investments in unconsolidated

35



financial institutions) is fully deducted in arriving at Tier 1 Common Capital commencing January 1, 2014. The amount of other intangible assets, aside from MSRs, not deducted in arriving at Tier 1 Common Capital are risk-weighted at 100%, as are the excess over the 10%/15% limitations for DTAs arising from temporary differences, significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions and MSRs prior to full implementation of the Final Basel III Rules. Upon full implementation, the amount of temporary difference DTAs, significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions and MSRs not deducted in arriving at Tier 1 Common Capital are risk-weighted at 250%.
(2)
Includes the phase-in of Tier 1 Common Capital deductions related to DTAs arising from net operating loss, foreign tax credit and general business credit carryforwards and defined benefit pension plan net assets; and the phase-in of the Tier 1 Common Capital adjustment for cumulative unrealized net gains (losses) related to changes in fair value of financial liabilities attributable to Citi’s own creditworthiness.
(3)
To the extent Additional Tier 1 Capital is not sufficient to absorb regulatory capital adjustments and deductions, such excess is to be applied against Tier 1 Common Capital.
(4)
Includes the phase-out from Tier 1 Common Capital of adjustments related to unrealized gains (losses) on AFS debt securities; unrealized gains on AFS equity securities; unrealized gains (losses) on HTM securities included in AOCI; and defined benefit plans liability adjustment.

Citigroup’s Capital Resources Under Current Regulatory Standards
During 2014, Citi is required to maintain stated minimum Tier 1 Common, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios of 4%, 5.5% and 8%, respectively. Furthermore, to be “well capitalized” under current federal bank regulatory agency definitions, a bank holding company must have a Tier 1 Capital ratio of at least 6%, a Total Capital ratio of at least 10%, and not be subject to a Federal Reserve Board directive to maintain higher capital levels.
The following table sets forth the capital tiers, risk-weighted assets, quarterly adjusted average total assets and capital ratios under current regulatory standards for Citi as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Impact of Changes on Citigroup and Citibank, N.A. Capital Ratios Under Current Regulatory Capital Standards
The following table presents the estimated sensitivity of Citigroup’s and Citibank, N.A.’s capital ratios to changes of $100 million in Tier 1 Common Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital (numerator), and changes of $1 billion in risk-weighted assets or quarterly adjusted average total assets (denominator) as of March 31, 2014. This information is
provided for the purpose of analyzing the impact that a change in Citigroup’s or Citibank, N.A.’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, or quarterly adjusted average total assets. Accordingly, an event that affects more than one factor may have a larger basis point impact than is reflected in this table.

Citigroup Broker-Dealer Subsidiaries
At March 31, 2014, 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 $5.7 billion, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $4.8 billion.
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 broker-dealer subsidiaries were in compliance with their capital requirements at March 31, 2014.

Basel III (Full Implementation)

Citigroup’s Capital Resources Under Basel III
As previously noted, Citi currently anticipates that its effective minimum Tier 1 Common, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratio requirements, under the Final Basel III Rules, on a fully implemented basis and including a 2% G-SIB surcharge, will be at least 9%, 10.5% and 12.5%, respectively. Further, under the Final Basel III Rules, Citi must also comply with a 4% minimum Tier 1 Leverage ratio requirement and an effective 5% minimum Supplementary Leverage ratio requirement.
The following table sets forth the capital tiers, risk-weighted assets, quarterly adjusted average total assets and capital ratios under the Final Basel III Rules for Citi, assuming full implementation, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Tier 1 Leverage ratio denominator.
(3) Citi’s estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio and certain related components are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes this ratio and its components provide useful information to investors and others by measuring Citi’s progress against future regulatory capital standards.


 
Tier 1 Common Ratio
On a pro forma basis, Citi’s estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio at December 31, 2013 was 10.1%, as adjusted from 10.6% to include approximately $56 billion of additional operational risk-weighted assets related to Citi’s approved exit from parallel reporting, effective in the second quarter of 2014 (for additional information, see “Capital Resources—Basel III” in Citigroup’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K). On this basis, Citi’s estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio grew to 10.5% from 10.1%, sequentially, with such quarter-over-quarter increase reflecting continued growth in Tier 1 Common Capital resulting from quarterly net income and further DTA reduction of approximately $1.1 billion (see “Income Taxes” below).

(1) Calculated based on the Final Basel III Rules, and with full implementation assumed.

Total estimated risk-weighted assets under the Basel III Advanced Approaches increased quarter-over-quarter largely due to the previously noted inclusion of approximately $56 billion of additional operational risk-weighted assets during the first quarter of 2014 (see discussion above), as well as growth in credit risk-weighted assets within Citicorp’s ICG businesses attributable to increased corporate lending and commitments.
Total estimated risk-weighted assets under the Basel III Standardized Approach increased during the quarter substantially due to higher credit risk-weighted assets within both Citicorp and Citi Holdings, largely attributable to the growth in corporate lending and commitments discussed above as well as further refinement of models used to calculate risk-weighted assets on residential mortgage loans, respectively.
Supplementary Leverage Ratio
Under the Final Basel III Rules, Advanced Approaches banking organizations, such as Citi and Citibank, N.A., are also required to calculate a Supplementary Leverage ratio which significantly differs from the Tier 1 Leverage ratio by also including certain off-balance-sheet exposures within the denominator of the ratio.
The Supplementary Leverage ratio represents the average for the quarter of the three monthly ratios of Tier 1 Capital to Total Leverage Exposure (i.e., the sum of the ratios calculated for January, February and March, divided by three). Total Leverage Exposure is the sum of: (i) the carrying value of all on-balance sheet assets less applicable Tier 1 Capital deductions; (ii) the potential future exposure (PFE) on derivative contracts; (iii) 10% of the notional amount of unconditionally cancellable commitments; and (iv) the full notional amount of certain other off-balance sheet exposures (e.g., other commitments and contingencies).
The following table sets forth the components of Total Leverage Exposure with regard to Citi’s Supplementary
 
Leverage ratio under the Final Basel III Rules as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Citigroup’s estimated Supplementary Leverage ratio under the Final Basel III Rules was 5.6% for the first quarter of 2014, compared to an estimated 5.4% for the fourth quarter of 2013. The quarter-over-quarter ratio improvement was primarily due to the increase in Tier 1 Capital resulting substantially from quarterly net income and further DTA reduction, marginally offset by an increase in Total Leverage Exposure.
Citi’s estimated Basel III Supplementary Leverage ratio and certain related components are non-GAAP financial measures. Citigroup believes this ratio and its components provide useful information to investors and others by measuring Citigroup’s progress against future regulatory capital standards.
In April 2014, the U.S. banking agencies released a final rule, consistent with that proposed in July 2013, which establishes enhanced Supplementary Leverage ratio standards for the eight largest U.S. bank holding companies (currently identified as G-SIBs by the Financial Stability Board, which includes Citi) and their subsidiary insured depository institutions. The final enhanced Supplementary Leverage ratio rule, which revises the Final Basel III Rules, establishes a 2% leverage buffer for these bank holding companies in addition to the stated 3% minimum Supplementary Leverage ratio requirement.


45



The leverage buffer will operate in a manner similar to that of the Capital Conservation Buffer, such that if a bank holding company failed to exceed the 2% requirement it would be subject to increasingly onerous restrictions (depending upon the extent of the shortfall) regarding capital distributions and discretionary executive bonus payments. Accordingly, the final rule effectively raises the Supplementary Leverage ratio requirement to 5% for affected bank holding companies. Additionally, the final rule requires that insured depository institution subsidiaries of these bank holding companies, such as Citibank, N.A., maintain a minimum Supplementary Leverage ratio of 6% to be considered “well capitalized” under the revised prompt corrective action framework established by the Final Basel III Rules. Citi and Citibank, N.A. are required to be compliant with these higher effective minimum ratio requirements on January 1, 2018.

Regulatory Capital Standards Developments

Basel III

Supplementary Leverage Ratio
In April 2014, the U.S. banking agencies also released a notice of proposed rulemaking which would revise the denominator of the Supplementary Leverage ratio in a manner largely consistent with the revisions adopted in January 2014 by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel Committee) with respect to the Basel III Leverage ratio (the equivalent of the U.S. Supplementary Leverage ratio). The proposed rules would modify the Final Basel III Rules in relation to the measurement of exposures for derivatives, securities financing transactions (SFTs), and most off-balance sheet commitments and contingencies, all of which are included in the denominator of the Supplementary Leverage ratio.
Under the revised rule, Advanced Approaches banking organizations would be permitted limited netting of SFTs with the same counterparty and allowed to apply cash variation margin to reduce derivative exposures, both of which are subject to certain specific conditions, as well as distinguish and expand the measure of exposure for written credit derivatives. Moreover, the credit conversion factors to be applied to certain off-balance sheet exposures would be reduced from 100% to those applicable under the Basel III Standardized Approach for determining credit risk-weighted assets.
Further, the proposed rule would substantially revise the calculation of the Supplementary Leverage ratio to be the ratio of period end Tier 1 Capital, as adjusted, to the quarterly daily average of Total Leverage Exposure. Citi continues to review the proposed rule and its potential impact on its estimated Supplementary Leverage ratio, including the implications associated with the revised calculation of the ratio.

 
Derivative Exposures - Counterparty Credit Risk
In March 2014, the Basel Committee adopted a final rule regarding the treatment of derivatives-related transactions in its capital adequacy framework, which is to become effective January 1, 2017. The “Standardized Approach for Measuring Counterparty Credit Risk on Derivative Exposures” (SA-CCR) replaces the current exposure method and, in part, provides greater collateral recognition and netting benefits. Although finalized by the Basel Committee, the U.S. banking agencies’ proposal regarding the denominator of the Supplementary Leverage ratio does not address the SA-CCR. The U.S. banking agencies may incorporate the SA-CCR into either or both the risk-based capital rules and the Supplementary Leverage ratio in the future.

Exposures to Central Counterparties
In April 2014, the Basel Committee adopted a final rule in relation to capital requirements for exposures to central counterparties (CCPs), such as clearinghouses. The final rule employs the SA-CCR in calculating a banking organization’s trade exposure as well as the CCPs hypothetical capital requirements used in calculating capital charges for default funds. Similar to the SA-CCR, the U.S. banking agencies have not yet proposed rules for incorporating the Basel Committee’s standards into the U.S. capital adequacy framework.

Tangible Common Equity, Tangible Book Value Per Share and Book Value Per Share
Tangible common equity (TCE), as currently defined by Citi, represents common equity less goodwill and other intangible assets (other than MSRs). Other companies may calculate TCE in a different manner. TCE, tangible book value per share and book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes these capital metrics provide useful information, as they are used by investors and industry analysts.

MANAGING GLOBAL RISK
Citigroup believes that effective risk management is of primary importance to its overall operations. Accordingly, Citi’s risk management process has been designed to monitor, evaluate and manage the principal risks it assumes in conducting its activities. These risks are broadly categorized as credit, market and operational risks.
Citigroup’s risk management framework is designed to balance business ownership and accountability for risks with well defined independent risk management oversight and responsibility. Further, the risk management organization is structured to facilitate the management of risk across three dimensions: businesses, regions and critical products.
For more information on Citi’s risk management, as well as a discussion of operational risk, see “Managing Global Risk” and “Risk Factors” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-Accrual Loans and Assets and Renegotiated Loans
The following pages include information on Citi’s “Non-Accrual Loans and Assets” and “Renegotiated Loans.” There is a certain amount of overlap among these categories. The following summary provides a general description of each category:

Non-Accrual Loans and Assets:
Corporate and Consumer (commercial market) non-accrual status is based on the determination that payment of interest or principal is doubtful.
Consumer non-accrual status is generally based on aging, i.e., the borrower has fallen behind in payments.
Mortgage loans discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy, other than FHA-insured loans, are classified as non-accrual. In addition, home equity loans in regulated bank entities are classified as non-accrual if the related residential first mortgage loan is 90 days or more past due.
North America Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services are not included because under industry standards, credit card loans accrue interest until such loans are charged off, which typically occurs at 180 days contractual delinquency.
Renegotiated Loans:
Both Corporate and Consumer loans whose terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR).
Includes both accrual and non-accrual TDRs.

Non-Accrual Loans and Assets
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.

North America Consumer Mortgage Lending

Overview
Citi’s North America Consumer mortgage portfolio consists of both residential first mortgages and home equity loans. At March 31, 2014, Citi’s North America Consumer residential first mortgage portfolio was $75.3 billion (compared to $75.9 billion at December 31, 2013), while the home equity loan portfolio was $30.7 billion (compared to $31.6 billion at December 31, 2013). At March 31, 2014, $43.2 billion of first mortgages was recorded in Citi Holdings, with the remaining $32.1 billion recorded in Citicorp. At March 31, 2014, $27.7 billion of home equity loans was recorded in Citi Holdings, with the remaining $3.0 billion recorded in Citicorp.
Citi’s residential first mortgage portfolio included $7.4 billion of loans with FHA insurance or VA guarantees at March 31, 2014, compared to $7.7 billion at December 31, 2013. This portfolio consists of loans to low-to-moderate-income borrowers with lower FICO (Fair Isaac Corporation) scores and generally higher loan-to-value ratios (LTVs). Credit losses on FHA loans are borne by the sponsoring governmental agency, provided that the insurance terms have not been rescinded as a result of an origination defect. With respect to VA loans, the VA establishes a loan-level loss cap, beyond which Citi is liable for loss. While FHA and VA loans have high delinquency rates, given the insurance and guarantees, respectively, Citi has experienced negligible credit losses on these loans.
In addition, Citi’s residential first mortgage portfolio included $1.0 billion of loans with origination LTVs above 80% that have insurance through mortgage insurance companies at March 31, 2014, compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, the residential first mortgage portfolio also had $0.8 billion of loans subject to long-term standby commitments (LTSCs) with U.S. government-sponsored entities (GSEs) for which Citi has limited exposure to credit losses, unchanged from December 31, 2013. Citi’s home equity loan portfolio also included $0.3 billion of loans subject to LTSCs with GSEs (unchanged from December 31, 2013) for which Citi also has limited exposure to credit losses. These guarantees and commitments may be rescinded in the event of loan origination defects. Citi’s allowance for loan loss calculations takes into consideration the impact of the guarantees and commitments described above.
Citi does not offer option-adjustable rate mortgages/negative-amortizing mortgage products to its customers. As a result, option-adjustable rate mortgages/negative-amortizing mortgages represent an insignificant portion of total balances, since they were acquired only incidentally as part of prior portfolio and business purchases.
As of March 31, 2014, Citi’s North America residential first mortgage portfolio contained approximately $4.8 billion of adjustable rate mortgages that are currently required to make a payment consisting of only accrued interest for the payment period, or an interest-only payment, compared to $5.0 billion at December 31, 2013. This decline resulted primarily from repayments of $148 million and conversions to amortizing loans of $85 million. Borrowers who are currently
 
required to make an interest-only payment cannot select a lower payment that would negatively amortize the loan. Residential first mortgages with this payment feature are primarily to high-credit-quality borrowers who have on average significantly higher origination and refreshed FICO scores than other loans in the residential first mortgage portfolio, and have exhibited significantly lower 30+ delinquency rates as compared with residential first mortgages without this payment feature. As such, Citi does not believe the residential mortgage loans with this payment feature represent substantially higher risk in the portfolio.

North America Consumer Mortgage Quarterly Credit Trends—Net Credit Losses and Delinquencies—Residential First Mortgages
The following charts detail the quarterly trends in loan balances, net credit losses and delinquencies for Citigroup’s residential first mortgage portfolio in North America. As set forth in the tables below, approximately 57% of Citi’s residential first mortgage exposure arises from its portfolio in Citi Holdings, which includes residential first mortgages originated by both CitiMortgage as well as Citi’s legacy CitiFinancial North America business.

North America Residential First Mortgage - Net Credit Losses(1)

Note: CMI refers to loans originated by CitiMortgage. CFNA refers to loans originated by CitiFinancial. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

Includes the following charge-offs related to Citi’s fulfillment of its obligations under the national mortgage and independent foreclosure review settlements: 1Q’13, $25 million; 2Q’13, $18 million; 3Q’13, $8 million; 4Q’13, $6 million; and 1Q’14, $0 million. For further information, see “National Mortgage and Independent Foreclosure Review Settlements” below.
(2)
4Q’13 excludes approximately $84 million of net credit losses consisting of (i) approximately $69 million of charge-offs related to a change in the charge-off policy for mortgages originated in CitiFinancial to more closely align to policies used in the CitiMortgage business, and (ii) approximately $15 million of charge-offs related to a change in the estimate of net credit losses related to collateral dependent loans to borrowers that have gone through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

In billions of dollars
Note: Days past due excludes (i) U.S. mortgage loans that are guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored agencies because the potential loss predominantly resides with the U.S. agencies, and (ii) loans recorded at fair value. Totals may not sum due to rounding.
 

As set forth in the table above, residential first mortgages originated by CitiFinancial tend to have higher net credit loss rates, at approximately 4.4%, compared to a net credit loss rate of 1.1% for CitiMortgage residential first mortgages in Citi Holdings. This is due to the fact that CitiFinancial borrowers tend to have higher LTVs and lower FICOs than CitiMortgage residential first mortgages in Citi Holdings. The improvement in the net credit loss rate in the current quarter for CitiFinancial residential first mortgages was due to the general improvement in the economic environment and the previously-disclosed change in charge-off policy that accelerated charge-offs effective in the fourth quarter of 2013 (see note 2 in the table above).
As previously disclosed, the historical improvement in Citi’s residential first mortgage delinquencies and net credit losses has largely been driven by asset sales, primarily out of the CitiMortgage portfolio in Citi Holdings, as well as ongoing modification programs (see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Continued overall improvement in credit and economic performance and loan modifications drove the improvement in the first quarter of 2014. While Citi believes the underlying credit performance of its residential first mortgage portfolio generally remains favorable, Citi’s ability to reduce delinquencies or net credit losses in this portfolio pursuant to asset sales or modifications could be limited going forward due to, among other factors, the lower remaining inventory of delinquent loans to sell or modify, additional increases in interest rates or lack of market demand for asset sales. The lack of non-performing residential first mortgage loan sales during the current quarter led, in part, to the slight increase in 180+ days past due delinquencies during the quarter.

New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Ohio, Florida and Illinois are judicial states.

Citi’s residential first mortgages portfolio is primarily concentrated in California and the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut region (with New York the largest of the three states). The improvement in refreshed LTV percentages at March 31, 2014 was primarily the result of HPI improvements across substantially all metropolitan statistical areas, thereby increasing values used in the determination of LTV, although the HPI improvement varies from market to market. To a lesser extent, modification programs involving principal forgiveness further reduced the loans in this category.

Foreclosures
The substantial majority of Citi’s foreclosure inventory consists of residential first mortgages. At March 31, 2014, Citi’s foreclosure inventory included approximately $0.8 billion, or 1.2%, of Citi’s residential first mortgages (based on the dollar amount of ending net receivables of loans in foreclosure inventory, excluding loans that are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and loans subject to LTSCs). Citi’s foreclosure inventory was largely unchanged from December 31, 2013 due to the ongoing extensive state and regulatory requirements related to the foreclosure process, which continue to result in longer foreclosure timelines. Citi’s average timeframes to move a loan out of foreclosure are two to three times longer than historical norms, and continue to be even more pronounced in judicial states (i.e., states that require foreclosures to be processed via court approval), where
Citi has a higher concentration of residential first mortgages in foreclosure. Active foreclosure units in process for over two years as a percentage of Citi’s total foreclosure inventory was approximately 32% as of March 31, 2014, compared to 33% as of December 31, 2013. The reduction reflected modest improvements in some jurisdictions and the addition of new foreclosures to the inventory.

North America Consumer Mortgage Quarterly Credit Trends—Net Credit Losses and Delinquencies—Home Equity Loans
Citi’s home equity loan portfolio consists of both fixed-rate home equity loans and loans extended under home equity lines of credit. Fixed-rate home equity loans are fully amortizing. Home equity lines of credit allow for amounts to be drawn for a period of time with the payment of interest only and then, at the end of the draw period, the then-outstanding amount is converted to an amortizing loan (the interest-only payment feature during the revolving period is standard for this product across the industry). Prior to June 2010, Citi’s originations of home equity lines of credit typically had a 10-year draw period. Beginning in June 2010, Citi’s originations of home equity lines of credit typically have a five-year draw period as Citi changed these terms to mitigate risk. After conversion, the home equity loans typically have a 20-year amortization period.

At March 31, 2014, Citi’s home equity loan portfolio of $30.7 billion included approximately $18.4 billion of home equity lines of credit (Revolving HELOCs) that are still within their revolving period and have not commenced amortization, or “reset,” compared to $18.9 billion at December 31, 2013. The following chart sets forth these Revolving HELOCs (based on certain FICO and combined loan-to-value (CLTV) characteristics of the portfolio) and the year in which they reset:

North America Home Equity Lines of Credit Amortization – Citigroup
Total ENR by Reset Year
In billions of dollars as of December 31, 2013
Note: Totals may not sum due to rounding.

As set forth in the chart above, approximately 6% of Citi’s Revolving HELOCs had commenced amortization as of March 31, 2014, compared to approximately 5% and 71% that will commence amortization during the remainder of 2014 and 2015-2017, respectively. Before commencing amortization, Revolving HELOC borrowers are required to pay only interest on their loans. Upon amortization, these borrowers will be required to pay both interest, typically at a variable rate, and principal that amortizes over 20 years, rather than the typical 30-year amortization. As a result, Citi’s customers with Revolving HELOCs that reset could experience “payment shock” due to the higher required payments on the loans. While it is not certain what, if any, impact this payment shock could have on Citi’s delinquency rates and net credit losses, Citi currently estimates the monthly loan payment for its Revolving HELOCs that reset during 2015-2017 could increase on average by approximately $360 or 180%. Increases in interest rates could further increase these payments given the variable nature of the interest rates on these loans post-reset.
 
Based on the limited number of Revolving HELOCs that have begun amortization as of March 31, 2014, approximately 5.7% of the amortizing home equity loans were 30+ days past due compared to 2.6% of the total outstanding home equity loan portfolio (amortizing and non-amortizing), compared to 6.0% and 2.8%, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. However, these resets have generally occurred during a period of declining interest rates, which Citi believes has likely reduced the overall “payment shock” to the borrower. Citi continues to monitor this reset risk closely, particularly as it approaches 2015, and Citi will continue to consider any potential impact in determining its allowance for loan loss reserves. In addition, management continues to review additional actions to offset potential reset risk, including establishment of a borrower outreach program to provide reset risk education, establishment of a reset risk mitigation unit and proactively contacting high risk borrowers. For further information on reset risk, see “Risk Factors—Business and Operational Risks” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following charts detail the quarterly trends in loan balances, net credit losses and delinquencies for Citi’s home equity loan portfolio in North America. The vast majority of Citi’s home equity loan exposure arises from its portfolio in Citi Holdings.

Includes the following amounts of charge-offs related to Citi’s fulfillment of its obligations under the national mortgage and independent foreclosure review settlements: 1Q’13, $51 million; 2Q’13, $12 million; 3Q’13, $14 million; 4Q’13, $15 million; and 1Q’14, $0 million. For further information, see “National Mortgage and Independent Foreclosure Review Settlements” below.

4Q’13 excludes approximately $100 million of net credit losses consisting of (i) approximately $64 million for the acceleration of accounting losses associated with modified home equity loans determined to be collateral dependent, (ii) approximately $22 million of charge-offs related to a change in the charge-off policy for mortgages originated in CitiFinancial to more closely align to policies used in the CitiMortgage business, and (iii) approximately $14 million of charge-offs related to a change in the estimate of net credit losses related to collateral dependent loans to borrowers that have gone through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Note: Days past due excludes (i) U.S. mortgage loans that are guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored agencies, because the potential loss predominantly resides with the U.S. agencies, and (ii) loans recorded at fair value. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

As set forth in the tables above, home equity loan net credit losses and delinquencies continued to improve during the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to liquidations and, to a lesser extent, modifications. Given the lack of a market in which to sell delinquent home equity loans, as well as the relatively smaller number of home equity loan modifications and modification programs (see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), Citi’s ability to reduce delinquencies or net credit losses in its home equity loan portfolio in Citi Holdings, whether pursuant to deterioration of the underlying credit performance of these loans or otherwise, is more limited as compared to residential first mortgages.

National Mortgage and Independent Foreclosure Review Settlements
During the first quarter of 2014, the monitor required by the national mortgage settlement certified that Citi had fulfilled its requirements for the provision of consumer benefits under the settlement, including loan modifications and refinancing concessions.
Citi did not incur any credit losses under the independent foreclosure review settlement during the first quarter of 2014 and believes it has fulfilled its mortgage assistance obligations under the settlement. The results are pending review by the OCC, which is not expected to occur until the second half of 2014.

During the first quarter of 2014, Citi Holdings residential first mortgages with an LTV above 100% declined by 38%, and with an LTV above 100% with FICO scores of less than 620 by 52%. The residential first mortgage portfolio has migrated to a lower LTV distribution primarily due to home price appreciation and principal forgiveness. Loans 90+ days past due in the residential first mortgage portfolio with refreshed FICO scores of less than 620 as well as LTVs above 100% declined 48% during the first quarter of 2014 to $0.2 billion primarily due to home price appreciation and liquidations.
Citi Holdings home equity loans with a CLTV above 100% declined by 7%, and with a CLTV above 100% and FICO scores of less than 620 by 18% during the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to home price appreciation, repayments and charge-offs. Loans 90+ days past due in the home equity portfolio with refreshed FICO scores of less than 620 as well as CLTVs above 100% declined 39% during the first quarter of 2014 to $79 million primarily due to charge-offs, home price appreciation and modifications.

Mortgage Servicing Rights
To minimize credit and liquidity risk, Citi sells most of the conforming mortgage loans it originates but retains the servicing rights. These sale transactions create an intangible asset referred to as mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), which are recorded at fair value on Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of MSRs is primarily affected by changes in prepayments of mortgages that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. Specifically, higher interest rates tend to lead to declining prepayments which causes the fair value of the MSRs to increase. In managing this risk, Citi economically hedges a significant portion of the value of its MSRs through the use of interest rate derivative contracts, forward purchase and sale commitments of mortgage-backed securities and purchased securities classified as trading account assets.
Citi’s MSRs totaled $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2014, compared to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily driven by amortization. At March 31, 2014, approximately $2.1 billion of MSRs were specific to Citicorp, with the remainder to Citi Holdings. For additional information on Citi’s MSRs, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Citigroup Residential Mortgages—Representations and Warranties Repurchase Reserve
In connection with Citi’s sales of residential mortgage loans to the GSEs and private investors, as well as through private-label residential mortgage securitizations, Citi typically makes representations and warranties that the loans sold meet certain requirements, such as the loan’s compliance with any applicable loan criteria established by the buyer and the validity of the lien securing the loan. The specific representations and warranties made by Citi in any particular transaction depend on, among other things, the nature of the transaction and the requirements of the investor (e.g., whole loan sale to the GSEs versus loans sold through securitization transactions), as well as the credit quality of the loan (e.g., prime, Alt-A or subprime).
These sales expose Citi to potential claims for alleged breaches of its representations and warranties. In the event of a breach of its representations and warranties, Citi could be required either to repurchase the mortgage loans with the identified defects (generally at unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest) or to indemnify (“make whole”) the investors for their losses on these loans.
Citi has recorded a repurchase reserve for purposes of its potential representation and warranty repurchase liability resulting from its whole loan sales to the GSEs and, to a lesser extent private investors, which are made through Citi’s Consumer business in CitiMortgage. The repurchase reserve was approximately $333 million and $341 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
For additional information, see “Managing Global Risk—Citigroup Residential Mortgages—Representations and Warranties Repurchase Reserve” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See also Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Corporate Credit Details
Consistent with its overall strategy, Citi’s Corporate clients are typically large, multi-national corporations who value Citi’s global network. Citi aims to establish relationships with these clients that encompass multiple products, consistent with client needs, including cash management and trade services, foreign exchange, lending, capital markets and M&A advisory. For additional information on corporate credit risk management, see “Managing Global Risk—Credit Risk—Corporate Credit Details” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Country Risk—Emerging Markets Exposures” below.

 
Corporate Credit Portfolio
The following table represents the Corporate credit portfolio (excluding private bank in ICG), before consideration of collateral or hedges, by remaining tenor at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Corporate credit portfolio includes loans and unfunded lending commitments in Citi’s institutional client exposure in ICG and, to a much lesser extent, Citi Holdings, by Citi’s internal management hierarchy and is broken out by (i) direct outstandings, which include drawn loans, overdrafts, bankers’ acceptances and leases, and (ii) unfunded lending commitments, which include unused commitments to lend, letters of credit and financial guarantees.

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 primarily through the use of 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 and regulatory environment. 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 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.

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 purpose of these transactions is to transfer credit risk to third parties. The results of the mark-to-market and any realized gains or losses on credit derivatives are reflected in Principal transactions on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $27.9 billion and $27.2 billion, respectively, of the Corporate credit portfolio was economically hedged. 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. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the credit protection was economically hedging underlying Corporate credit portfolio with the following risk rating distribution:

MARKET RISK
Market risk encompasses funding and liquidity risk and price risk, each of which arise in the normal course of business of a global financial intermediary such as Citi. For additional information, see “Managing Global Risk—Market Risk” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Funding and Liquidity Risk
Adequate liquidity and sources of funding are essential to Citi’s businesses.  Funding and liquidity risks arise from several factors, many of which Citi cannot control, such as disruptions in the financial markets, changes in key funding sources, credit spreads, changes in Citi’s credit ratings and political and economic conditions in certain countries.

Overview
Citi’s funding and liquidity objectives are to maintain adequate liquidity to (i) fund its existing asset base; (ii) grow its core businesses in Citicorp; (iii) maintain sufficient excess liquidity, structured appropriately, so that it can operate under a wide variety of market conditions, including market disruptions for both short- and long-term periods; and (iv) satisfy regulatory requirements. Citigroup’s primary liquidity objectives are established by entity, and in aggregate, across three major categories:

the parent entity, which includes the parent holding company (Citigroup) and Citi’s broker-dealer subsidiaries that are consolidated into Citigroup (collectively referred to in this section as “parent”);
Citi’s significant Citibank entities, which consist of Citibank, N.A. units domiciled in the U.S., Western Europe, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore (collectively referred to in this section as “significant Citibank entities”); and
other Citibank and Banamex entities.

 
At an aggregate level, Citigroup’s goal is to maintain sufficient funding in amount and tenor to fully fund customer assets and to provide an appropriate amount of cash and high-quality liquid assets (as discussed further below), even in times of stress. The liquidity framework provides that entities be self-sufficient or net providers of liquidity, including in conditions established under their designated stress tests.
Citi’s primary sources of funding include (i) deposits via Citi’s bank subsidiaries, which are Citi’s most stable and lowest cost source of long-term funding, (ii) long-term debt (primarily senior and subordinated debt) primarily issued at the parent and certain bank subsidiaries, and (iii) stockholders’ equity. These sources may be supplemented by short-term borrowings, primarily in the form of secured financing transactions.
As referenced above, Citigroup works to ensure that the structural tenor of these funding sources is sufficiently long in relation to the tenor of its asset base. The goal of Citi’s asset/liability management is to ensure that there is excess tenor in the liability structure so as to provide excess liquidity after funding the assets. The excess liquidity resulting from a longer-term tenor profile can effectively offset potential decreases in liquidity that may occur under stress. This excess funding is held in the form of high quality liquid assets, which Citi generally refers to as its “liquidity resources,” and is described further below.

Note: Amounts above are estimated based on Citi’s current interpretation of the definition of “high quality liquid assets” under the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s final Basel III Liquidity Coverage Ratio rules (see “Risk Factors—Liquidity Risks” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Liquidity Management, Measurement and Stress Testing” below). All amounts in the table above are as of period-end and may increase or decrease intra-period in the ordinary course of business.

As set forth in the table above, Citigroup’s liquidity resources at March 31, 2014 were relatively stable sequentially and increased 13% from the prior-year period. The year-over-year growth was driven by an increase in deposits, credit card securitization issuances in Citibank, N.A. and a continued reduction of Citi Holdings assets.
The following table shows further detail of the composition of Citi's liquidity resources by type of asset as of each of the periods indicated. For securities, the amounts represent the liquidity value that potentially could be realized, and thus excludes any securities that are encumbered, as well as the haircuts that would be required for secured financing transactions.

(1)
Foreign government also includes foreign government agencies, multinationals and foreign government guaranteed securities. Foreign government securities are held largely to support local liquidity requirements and Citi’s local franchises and, as of March 31, 2014, principally included government bonds from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Singapore and Taiwan.
(2)
Includes contractual committed facilities from central banks in the amount of $1 billion, $1 billion and $1.2 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2014 and the fourth and first quarters of 2013, respectively.

As evident from the table above, as of March 31, 2014, more than 80% of Citi’s liquidity resources consisted of available cash, U.S. government securities and high quality foreign sovereign debt securities, with the remaining amounts consisting of U.S. agency securities, agency MBS and investment grade debt.
Citi’s liquidity resources as set forth above do not include additional potential liquidity in the form of Citigroup’s borrowing capacity from the various Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB), which was approximately $31 billion as of March 31, 2014 and is maintained by pledged collateral to all such banks. The liquidity resources shown above also do not include Citi’s borrowing capacity at the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank discount window or international central banks, which capacity would be in addition to the resources noted above.
In general, Citigroup can freely fund legal entities within its bank vehicles. Citigroup’s bank subsidiaries, including Citibank, N.A., can lend to the Citigroup parent and broker-dealer entities in accordance with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. As of March 31, 2014, the amount available for lending to these entities under Section 23A was approximately $17 billion (unchanged from December 31, 2013), provided the funds are collateralized appropriately.
 
Deposits
Deposits are the primary and lowest cost funding source for Citi’s bank subsidiaries. The table below sets forth the end of period deposits, by business and/or segment, and the total average deposits for each of the periods indicated.

Included within Citi’s end-of-period deposit balance as of March 31, 2014 were approximately $24 billion of deposits related to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (MSSB) customers that, as previously disclosed, will be transferred to Morgan Stanley, with remaining balances transferred in the amount of approximately $5 billion per quarter through the end of the second quarter of 2015.

On a reported basis, end-of-period deposits increased 3% year-over-year and were largely unchanged quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase reflected, in part, elevated levels of market liquidity and strong corporate balance sheets, in addition to underlying business growth.
Excluding the impact of FX translation, deposits increased 4% year-over-year. Global Consumer Banking deposits increased 2% year-over-year, as growth in Latin America and North America was offset by declines in Asia. ICG deposits increased 10% year-over-year, as continued strong deposit flows led to 14% growth in treasury and trade solutions, and 11% growth in the private bank. On a regional basis, year-over-year ICG deposits grew 17% in Latin America and 22% in North America. Corporate/Other deposits also increased year-over-year as Citi issued tenored time deposits to further diversify its funding sources.
Excluding the impact of FX translation, average deposits increased 5% year-over-year and were unchanged quarter-over-quarter, despite the ongoing transfer of MSSB deposits to Morgan Stanley.
Operating balances increased to 81% of Citicorp’s total deposit base as of March 31, 2014, compared to 80% at December 31, 2013 and 78% at March 31, 2013. Citi defines operating balances as checking and savings accounts for


70



individuals, as well as cash management accounts for corporations; by comparison, time deposits have fixed rates for the term of the deposit and generally lower margins. This continued shift to operating balances, combined with overall market conditions and prevailing interest rates, further reduced Citi’s cost of deposits during the current quarter. Excluding the impact of FDIC assessments and deposit insurance, the average rate on Citi’s total deposits was 0.49% at March 31, 2014, compared with 0.50% at December 31, 2013, and 0.61% at March 31, 2013.

Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt (generally defined as debt with original maturities of one year or more) continued to represent the most significant component of Citi’s funding for the parent entities and was a supplementary source of funding for the bank entities.
Long-term debt is an important funding source for Citi’s parent entities due in part to its multi-year maturity structure. The weighted-average maturities of unsecured long-term debt issued by Citigroup and its affiliates (including Citibank, N.A.) with a remaining life greater than one year (excluding remaining trust preferred securities outstanding) was approximately 6.8 years as of March 31, 2014, which was a slight decrease from the prior quarter and prior-year period, primarily due to the slight decrease in Citi’s long-term debt issuances during the current quarter as compared to recent periods (see the “Long-Term Debt Issuances and Maturities” tables below).
Citi’s long-term debt outstanding includes benchmark 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 supplements benchmark debt issuance as a source of funding for Citi’s parent entities.

Of the approximately $37.1 billion of total bank securitizations at March 31, 2014, approximately $36.7 billion related to credit card securitizations (compared to $32.4 billion as of December 31, 2013).

As previously disclosed, Citi’s long-term debt outstanding had generally stabilized as of year-end 2013, and was approximately $223 billion as of the end of the first quarter of 2014. The $12 billion decrease in long-term debt from the prior-year period resulted from continued reductions in parent debt which were partially offset by increases at the bank. In the bank, the year-over-year increase in long-term debt was driven by increased securitizations, specifically credit card securitizations by the Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust (CCCIT), given the lower cost of this funding. Overall, changes in Citi’s long-term debt outstanding will continue to reflect the funding needs of its businesses. It also will depend on the market and economic environment and any regulatory changes, such as prescribed levels of debt required to be maintained by Citi pursuant to the U.S. banking regulators orderly liquidation authority (for additional information, see “Risk Factors—Regulatory Risks” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K).
As part of its liquidity and funding strategy, Citi has considered, and may continue to consider, opportunities to repurchase its long-term and short-term debt pursuant to open market purchases, tender offers or other means. Such repurchases decrease Citi’s overall funding costs. During the first quarter of 2014, Citi repurchased an aggregate of approximately $1.7 billion of its outstanding long-term and short-term debt, primarily pursuant to selective public tender offers and open market purchases. Additionally, in April 2014, Citi redeemed $2.0 billion of its remaining trust preferred securities (for information on Citi’s remaining outstanding


71



trust preferred securities, see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Secured Financing Transactions and Short-Term Borrowings
As referenced above, Citi supplements its primary sources of funding with short-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings generally include (i) secured financing transactions (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 (see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on Citigroup’s and its affiliates’ outstanding short-term borrowings).

Secured Financing
Secured financing is primarily conducted through Citi’s broker-dealer subsidiaries to efficiently fund both customer-secured lending activity and a portion of trading inventory. Citi also conducts a smaller portion of its secured financing transactions through its bank entities, which are typically collateralized by foreign government securities. Generally, daily changes in the level of secured financing are primarily due to fluctuations in customer-secured lending and trading inventory.
Secured financing declined to $191 billion as of March 31, 2014, compared to $204 billion as of December 31, 2013 and $222 billion as of March 31, 2013, in each case driven by a reduction in activity in the Markets and securities services businesses within ICG.  Average balances for secured financing were approximately $197 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $216 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and $233 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. 
The portion of secured financing in the broker-dealer subsidiaries that funds customer-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 sovereign debt.  The remainder is secured by equity securities, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities.  Citi monitors the relative tenors of these transactions.
The remainder of the secured financing activity in the broker-dealer subsidiaries serves to fund trading inventory.  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 stipulates financing tenor and counterparty diversification. The weighted average maturity of Citi’s secured financing of less liquid trading inventory was greater than 110 days as of March 31, 2014.
 

Commercial Paper

The increase in the significant Citibank entities’ outstanding commercial paper during 2013 was due to the consolidation of $7 billion of trade loans in the second quarter of 2013.

Other Short-Term Borrowings
At March 31, 2014, Citi’s other short-term borrowings, which included borrowings from the FHLB and other market participants, were approximately $44 billion, compared to $41 billion at December 31, 2013, and $36 billion at March 31, 2013.

Liquidity Management, Measurement and Stress Testing
For a discussion of Citi’s liquidity management and stress testing, see “Market Risk—Funding and Liquidity—Liquidity Management, Measurement and Stress Testing” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity Measurement
Citi uses multiple measures in monitoring its liquidity and measures liquidity stress periods of various lengths, with emphasis on the 30-day and the 12-month periods.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio. In addition to internal measures Citi has developed for a 30-day stress scenario, Citi also monitors its liquidity by reference to the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), as calculated pursuant to the final Basel III LCR rules issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in January 2013. Generally, the LCR is designed to ensure banks maintain an adequate level of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets to meet liquidity needs under an acute 30-day stress scenario. Under the Basel Committee’s final Basel III LCR rules, the LCR is calculated by dividing the amount of unencumbered cash and highly liquid, unencumbered government, government-backed and corporate securities by estimated net outflows over a stressed 30-day period. The net outflows are calculated by applying assumed outflow factors, prescribed in the rules, to various categories of liabilities, such as deposits, unsecured and secured wholesale borrowings, unused commitments and derivatives-related exposures, partially offset by inflows from assets maturing within 30 days.
The table below sets forth the components of Citi’s LCR calculation and liquidity in excess of estimated net outflows based on the Basel Committee’s final Basel III LCR rules.

The increase in the LCR during the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to a reduction in estimated derivative-related outflows, as well as the increase in Citi’s high quality liquid assets, as discussed under “High Quality Liquid Assets” above.
As previously disclosed, in October 2013 the U.S. banking agencies proposed rules with respect to the U.S. Basel III LCR. Along with others in the industry, Citi continues to review the U.S. proposal and its potential impact on its estimated liquidity resources and LCR. For more information, see “Risk Factors—Regulatory Risks” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report or Form 10-K.
Citi’s estimated LCR, as calculated under the Basel Committee’s final Basel III LCR rules, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Citi believes this measure provides useful information to investors and others by measuring Citi’s progress toward potential future expected regulatory liquidity
 
standards. Citi’s estimated LCR for all periods presented is based on its current interpretation, expectations and understanding of the Basel Committee’s final rules. It is subject to, among other things, Citi’s continued review of the proposed U.S. Basel III LCR requirements, implementation of any final U.S. Basel III rules and further regulatory implementation guidance.
Long-term liquidity measure. For 12-month liquidity stress periods, Citi uses several measures, including a long-term liquidity measure. It is based on Citi’s internal 12-month, highly stressed market scenario and assumes market, credit and economic conditions are moderately to highly stressed with potential further deterioration. It is broadly defined as the ratio of unencumbered liquidity resources to net stressed cumulative outflows over a 12-month period.
Net Stable Funding Ratio. In January 2014, the Basel Committee issued revised guidelines for the implementation of
the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) under Basel III. Similar to the long-term liquidity measure, the NSFR is intended to measure the stability of a banking organization’s funding over a one-year time horizon (i.e., the proportion of long-term assets funded by long-term, stable funding, such as equity, deposits and long-term debt). Citi continues to review the Basel Committee’s revised guidelines relative to its overall liquidity position. For additional information see “Risk Factors—Liquidity Risks” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Given the range of potential stresses, Citi maintains a series of contingency funding plans on a consolidated basis and for individual entities. These plans specify a wide range of readily available actions for a variety of adverse market conditions or idiosyncratic disruptions.

Credit Ratings
Citigroup’s funding and liquidity, its funding capacity, ability to access capital markets and other sources of funds, the cost of these funds, and its ability to maintain certain deposits are partially dependent on its credit ratings. The table below
 
indicates the ratings for Citigroup and Citibank, N.A. as of March 31, 2014. While not included in the table below, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGMI) is rated A/A-1 by Standard & Poor’s as of March 31, 2014.

Recent Credit Rating Developments
On March 26, 2014, Fitch concluded its periodic review of 12 “Global Trading & Universal Banks.” Fitch affirmed Citigroup’s long-term issuer rating at 'A' and upgraded its unsupported rating (viability rating) to 'a' from 'a-'. The rating outlook remained Stable. Fitch noted Citi’s improving risk profile, solid capital and liquidity profiles, and enhanced risk management framework. With this unsupported rating upgrade, Citigroup’s supported rating no longer incorporates any uplift from sovereign support, as the long-term issuer default rating (IDR) is now underpinned by the standalone rating.
Simultaneously, Fitch indicated it may introduce a ratings differential between U.S. bank holding companies and operating companies. Currently, Fitch equalizes holding company and operating company ratings, thereby reflecting what it views as the close correlation between default probabilities. Fitch believes that the potential implementation of the Orderly Liquidation Authority, as part of the Dodd-Frank Act, may create greater-than-historical differentials in holding company and operating company credit risk profiles, and could warrant rating changes.  As a result, Fitch indicated three potential outcomes: downgrades to holding company ratings; upgrades to operating company ratings; or, no rating changes. Fitch stated that after the comment period concludes in May, it will review any comments received and “report publicly on the next steps.”

Potential Impacts of Ratings Downgrades
Ratings downgrades by Moody’s, Fitch or S&P could negatively impact Citigroup’s and/or Citibank, N.A.’s funding and liquidity due to reduced funding capacity, including derivatives 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, N.A. of a hypothetical, simultaneous
ratings downgrade across all three major rating agencies. This analysis is subject to certain estimates, estimation methodologies, and judgments and uncertainties. Uncertainties include potential ratings limitations certain entities may have with respect to permissible counterparties, as well as general subjective counterparty behavior. For example, certain
 
corporate customers and trading counterparties could re-evaluate their business relationships with Citi and limit the trading of 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, N.A. 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Citigroup Inc. and Citibank, N.A.—Potential Derivative Triggers
As of March 31, 2014, Citi estimates that a hypothetical one-notch downgrade of the senior debt/long-term rating of Citigroup across all three major rating agencies could impact Citigroup’s funding and liquidity due to derivative triggers by approximately $0.9 billion. 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 March 31, 2014, Citi estimates that a hypothetical one-notch downgrade of the senior debt/long-term rating of Citibank, N.A. across all three major rating agencies could impact Citibank, N.A.’s funding and liquidity by approximately $1.3 billion, due to derivative triggers.
In total, Citi estimates that a one-notch downgrade of Citigroup and Citibank, N.A., across all three major rating agencies, could result in aggregate cash obligations and collateral requirements of approximately $2.2 billion (see also Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). As set forth under “High Quality Liquid Assets” above, the liquidity resources of Citi’s parent entities were approximately $68 billion, and the liquidity resources of Citi’s significant Citibank entities and other Citibank and Banamex entities were approximately $357 billion, for a total of approximately $425 billion as of March 31, 2014. 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, N.A.’s


75



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 Citi’s significant bank subsidiaries. Mitigating actions available to Citibank, N.A. include, but are not limited to, selling or financing highly liquid government securities, tailoring levels of secured lending, adjusting the size of select trading books, reducing loan originations and renewals, raising additional deposits, or borrowing from the FHLB or central banks. Citi believes these mitigating actions could substantially reduce the funding and liquidity risk, if any, of the potential downgrades described above.

Citibank, N.A.—Additional Potential Impacts
In addition to the above derivative triggers, Citi believes that a potential one-notch downgrade of Citibank, N.A.’s senior debt/long-term rating by S&P and Fitch could also have an adverse impact on the commercial paper/short-term rating of Citibank, N.A. As of March 31, 2014, Citibank, N.A. had liquidity commitments of approximately $14.7 billion to consolidated asset-backed commercial paper conduits (as referenced in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
In addition to the above-referenced liquidity resources of Citi’s significant Citibank entities and other Citibank and Banamex entities, Citibank, N.A. 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, N.A. 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, N.A. 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.


76



Price Risk
Price risk losses arise from fluctuations in the market value of non-trading and trading positions resulting from changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices, and in their implied volatilities. For additional information on Citi’s price risk measurement and stress testing, see “Managing Global RiskMarket RiskPrice Risk” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Price Risk—Non-Trading Portfolios

Net Interest Revenue and Interest Rate Risk
Net interest revenue (NIR), for interest rate exposure purposes, is the difference between the yield earned on the non-trading portfolio assets (including customer loans) and the rate paid on the liabilities (including customer deposits or company borrowings). NIR is affected by changes in the level of interest rates, as well as the amounts of assets and liabilities, and the timing of repricing of assets and liabilities to reflect market rates.
 
Interest Rate Risk Measurement
Citi’s principal measure of risk to NIR is interest rate exposure (IRE). IRE measures the change in expected NIR in each currency resulting solely from unanticipated changes in forward interest rates. Factors such as changes in volumes, credit spreads, margins and the impact of prior-period pricing decisions are not captured by IRE. IRE also assumes that businesses make no additional changes in pricing or balances in response to the unanticipated rate changes.
For example, if the current 90-day LIBOR rate is 3% and the one-year-forward rate (i.e., the estimated 90-day LIBOR rate in one year) is 5%, the +100 bps IRE scenario measures the impact on NIR of a 100 bps instantaneous change in the 90-day LIBOR to 6% in one year.
The impact of changing prepayment rates on loan portfolios is incorporated into the results. For example, in the declining interest rate scenarios, it is assumed that mortgage portfolios prepay faster and that income is reduced. In addition, in a rising interest rate scenario, portions of the deposit portfolio are assumed to experience rate increases that may be less than the change in market interest rates.

Mitigation and Hedging of Interest Rate Risk
In order to manage changes in interest rates effectively, Citi may modify pricing on new customer loans and deposits, enter into transactions with other institutions or enter into derivative transactions that have the opposite risk exposures. Citi regularly assesses the viability of these and other strategies to reduce its interest rate risks and implements such strategies when it believes those actions are prudent. Such strategies are not included in the estimation of IRE.

 
Stress Testing
Citigroup employs additional measurements, including stress testing the impact of non-linear interest rate movements on the value of the balance sheet; the analysis of portfolio duration and volatility, particularly as they relate to mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities; and the potential impact of the change in the spread between different market indices.

Changes in Interest Rates—Impacts on Net Interest Revenue, Other Comprehensive Income and Capital
Citi measures the potential impacts of changes in interest rates on Citi’s net interest revenue and value of its other comprehensive income (OCI), which can in turn impact Citi’s estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio. Given the current low rate environment, Citi believes it is positioned to benefit from an increase in the market level of interest rates, while limiting the impact of changes in OCI on its regulatory capital position.
Citi manages interest rate risk as a consolidated net position. Citi’s client-facing businesses create interest rate sensitive-positions, including loans and deposits, as part of their ongoing activities. Citi Treasury accumulates these risk positions and manages them centrally. Operating within established limits, Citi Treasury makes positioning decisions and uses tools, such as Citi’s investment securities portfolio, firm-issued debt, and interest rate derivatives, to target the desired risk profile. Changes in Citi’s interest rate risk position reflect the accumulated changes in all non-trading assets and liabilities, with potentially large and offsetting impacts, as well as Citi Treasury’s positioning decisions.
OCI at risk is managed as part of the firm-wide interest rate risk position. OCI at risk considers potential changes in OCI (and the corresponding impact on the estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio) relative to Citi’s capital generation capacity.

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 economically managed in combination with marked-to-market positions. The U.S. dollar interest rate exposure associated with these businesses was $(169) million for a 100 basis point instantaneous increase in interest rates as of March 31, 2014.
(3)
Includes the effect of changes in interest rates on OCI related to investment securities, cash flow hedges and pension liability adjustments.
(4)
The estimated impact to Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio considers the effect of Citi’s deferred tax asset position and is based on only the estimated OCI impact above.
The increase in the estimated impact to net interest revenue at March 31, 2014 from the prior-year period primarily reflected changes in Citi’s balance sheet composition, including the continued growth and seasoning of Citi’s deposit balances and increases in Citi’s capital base, net of Citi Treasury positioning. The change in the estimated impact to OCI and estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio from the prior-year period primarily reflected changes in the composition of Citi Treasury’s investment and derivatives portfolio.
In the event of an unanticipated parallel instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates, Citi expects the negative impact to OCI would be offset through the combination of expected incremental net interest revenue and the expected recovery of the impact on OCI through accretion of Citi’s investment portfolio over a period of time. As of March 31,
 
2014, Citi expects that the $(3.4) billion impact to OCI in such a scenario could potentially be offset over approximately 18 months.
Citi routinely evaluates multiple interest rate scenarios, including interest rate increases and decreases and steepening and flattening of the yield curve, to anticipate how net interest revenue and OCI might be impacted in different interest rate environments. The following table sets forth the estimated impact to Citi’s net interest revenue, OCI and estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio under four different changes in interest rates for the U.S. dollar and Citi’s other currencies. While Citi also monitors the impact of a parallel decrease in interest rates, a 100 basis point decrease in short-term interest rates is not meaningful, as it would imply negative interest rates in many of Citi’s markets.

(2)
The estimated impact to Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio considers the effect of Citi’s deferred tax asset position and is based on only the estimated OCI impact above.
As shown in the table above, the magnitude of the impact to Citi’s net interest revenue and OCI is greater under scenario 2 as compared to scenario 3. This is due to the fact that 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.


78



Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates—Impacts on OCI and Capital
As of March 31, 2014, Citi estimates that a simultaneous 5% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against all of Citi’s other currencies could reduce Citi’s tangible common equity (TCE) by approximately $1.4 billion, or 0.8% of TCE, as a result of changes to Citi’s foreign currency translation adjustment OCI,
net of hedges. This impact would be primarily due to changes in the value of the Mexican Peso, the Euro, the British pound sterling, the Korean Won and the Australian dollar.
Despite this decrease in TCE, Citi believes its business model and management of foreign currency translation
 
exposure work to minimize the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on its estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio. 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 estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio.

The effect of Citi’s business model and management strategies on changes in foreign exchange rates are shown in the table above. During the first quarter of 2014, the U.S. dollar appreciated by approximately 0.2% against the major currencies to which Citi is exposed, resulting in an approximately $(551) million, or approximately 0.3%, decrease in TCE. The impact on Citi’s estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio was a reduction of approximately 4 basis points.

(1)
Net interest revenue includes the taxable equivalent adjustments (based on the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35%) of $128 million, $128 million and $127 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013.
(2)
Excludes expenses associated with certain hybrid financial instruments, which are classified as Long-term debt and accounted for at fair value with changes recorded in Principal transactions.
(3)
Interest revenue, expense, rates and volumes exclude Credicard (Discontinued operations) for all periods presented. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As set forth in the table above, Citi’s net interest revenue increased 1% from the prior year period due to slightly higher interest earning assets and an improvement in net interest margin (NIM), and declined sequentially driven by the lower day count in the current quarter.
 

NIM is calculated by dividing gross interest revenue less gross interest expense by average interest earning assets. Quarter-over-quarter, Citi’s NIM increased by 2 basis points mainly reflecting lower funding costs, including both long-term debt and deposit funding costs.

Price Risk—Trading Portfolios
For additional information on the measures Citi uses to monitor price risk in its trading portfolios, as well as additional information on value at risk, see “Managing Global Risk—Market Risk—Price Risk” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Value at Risk
Value at risk (VAR) estimates, at a 99% confidence level, the potential decline in the value of a position or a portfolio under normal market conditions assuming a one-day holding period. VAR statistics, which are based on historical data, can be materially different across firms due to differences in portfolio composition, differences in VAR methodologies, and differences in model parameters. As a result, Citi believes VAR statistics can be used more effectively as indicators of trends in risk taking within a firm, rather than as a basis for inferring differences in risk-taking across firms.
Citi uses a single, independently approved Monte Carlo simulation VAR model, which has been designed to capture material risk sensitivities (such as first- and second-order sensitivities of positions to changes in market prices) of various asset classes/risk types (such as interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and commodity risks). Citi’s VAR includes all positions, which are measured at fair value; it does not include investment securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. For information on these securities, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Citi believes its VAR model is conservatively calibrated to incorporate the greater of short-term (most recent month) and long-term (three years) market volatility. The Monte Carlo simulation involves approximately 300,000 market factors, making use of approximately 180,000 time series, with sensitivities updated daily and model parameters updated weekly.
The conservative features of the VAR calibration contribute approximately a 13% add-on to what would be a VAR estimated under the assumption of stable and perfectly normally distributed markets.
As set forth in the table below, Citi’s total Trading and Credit Portfolios VAR was $164 million at March 31, 2014 and $144 million at December 31, 2013. Daily total Trading and Credit Portfolios VAR averaged $156 million in the first quarter of 2014 and ranged from $133 million to $188 million during the period. The change in average and period-end total Trading and Credit Portfolios VAR, both sequentially and from the prior-year period, was primarily driven by increased hedging activity associated with non-trading positions, in addition to standard VAR model parameter updates.

(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 from ICG and Citi Holdings, 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. DVA is not included. It also includes hedges to the loan portfolio, fair value option loans, hedges to the leveraged finance pipeline within capital markets origination within ICG and tail hedges that are not explicitly hedging the trading book.

Regulatory VAR Back-testing
In accordance with Basel II.5, Citi is required to perform back-testing to evaluate the effectiveness of its Regulatory VAR model and as a basis to determine its Regulatory VAR multiplier. 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 (e.g., 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 revenue excludes realized trading revenue, net interest, fees and commissions, intra-day trading profit and loss, and changes in reserves. Regulatory VAR back-testing is performed against buy-and-hold profit and loss on a monthly basis for approximately 155 portfolios across the organization (trading desk level, ICG business segment and Citigroup) and the results are shared with the U.S. banking regulators.
Citi’s Regulatory VAR multipliers, which can range between 3 and 4, are based upon the number of back-testing exceptions that occur on a rolling 12-month period, as well as the discretion of the Federal Reserve Board and OCC. As of March 31, 2014, there were no back-testing exceptions observed for Citi’s Regulatory VAR for the prior 12 months. 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.

COUNTRY AND CROSS-BORDER RISK
COUNTRY RISK
Overview
Country risk is the risk that an event in a country (precipitated by developments internal or external to a country) could directly or indirectly impair the value of Citi’s franchise or adversely affect the ability of obligors within that country to honor their obligations to Citi, any of which could negatively impact Citi’s results of operations or financial condition. Country risk events could include sovereign volatility or defaults, banking failures or defaults, redenomination events (which could be accompanied by a revaluation (either devaluation or appreciation) of the affected currency), currency crises, foreign exchange and/or capital controls and/or political events and instability. Country risk events could result in mandatory loan loss and other reserve requirements imposed by U.S. regulators due to a particular country’s economic situation.
While Citi continues to work to mitigate its exposures to potential country risk events, the impact of any such event is highly uncertain and will ultimately be based on the specific facts and circumstances. As a result, there can be no assurance that the various steps Citi has taken to protect its businesses, results of operations and financial condition against these events will be sufficient. In addition, there could be negative impacts to Citi’s businesses, results of operations or financial condition that are currently unknown to Citi and thus cannot be mitigated as part of its ongoing contingency planning.
For additional information on country risk at Citi, including its country risk management process as well as Citi’s exposures relating to Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain (GIIPS) as of December 31, 2013, see “Managing Global Risk—Country and Cross-Border Risk—Country Risk—GIIPS Sovereign, Financial Institution and Corporate Exposures” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Emerging Markets Exposures
Citi generally defines emerging markets as countries in Latin America, Asia (other than Japan, Australia and New Zealand), central and eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The following table presents Citicorp’s principal emerging markets assets as of March 31, 2014. For purposes of the table below, loan amounts are 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. Trading account assets and investment securities are generally categorized below based on the domicile of the issuer of the security or the underlying reference entity.

Emerging Markets Trading Account Assets and Investment Securities
In the ordinary course of business, Citi holds securities in its trading accounts and investment accounts, including those above. Trading account assets are marked to market daily, with asset levels varying as Citi maintains inventory consistent with customer needs. Investment securities are recorded at either fair value or historical cost, based on the underlying accounting treatment, and are predominantly held as part of the local entity asset and liability management program, or to comply with local regulatory requirements. In the markets in the table above, 97% of Citi’s investment securities were related to sovereign issuers as of March 31, 2014.

Emerging Markets Consumer Lending
GCB’s strategy within the emerging markets is consistent with GCB’s overall strategy, which is to leverage its global footprint to serve its target clients. The retail bank seeks to be the preeminent bank for the emerging affluent and affluent consumers in large urban centers. In credit cards and in certain retail markets, Citi serves customers in a somewhat broader set of segments and geographies. Commercial banking generally serves small and middle market enterprises operating in GCB’s geographic markets, focused on clients that value Citi’s global capabilities. Overall, Citi believes that its customers are more resilient than the overall market under a wide range of economic conditions. Citi’s Consumer business has a well-established risk appetite framework across geographies and products that reflects the business strategy and activities and establishes boundaries around the key risks that arise from the strategy and activities.
As of March 31, 2014, GCB had approximately $127 billion of Consumer loans outstanding to borrowers in the emerging markets, or approximately 43% of GCB’s total loans, compared to approximately $126 billion or 42% of total GCB loans as of December 31, 2013. Of the approximately $127 billion as of March 31, 2014, the five largest emerging markets-Mexico, Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan-comprised approximately 29% of GCB’s total loans.
Within the emerging markets, 28% of Citi’s GCB loans were mortgages, 27% were commercial markets loans, 23% were personal loans, and 21% were credit cards loans, each as of March 31, 2014.
Overall consumer credit quality remained generally stable in the first quarter of 2014, as net credit losses in the emerging markets were 2.1% of average loans in the first quarter of 2014, compared to 2.0% in the fourth quarter of 2013, consistent with Citi’s target market strategy and risk appetite framework.
 
Emerging Markets Corporate Lending
Consistent with its overall strategy, Citi’s Corporate clients in the emerging markets are typically large, multi-national corporations who value Citi’s global network. Citi aims to establish relationships with these clients that encompass multiple products, consistent with client needs, including cash management and trade services, foreign exchange, lending, capital markets and M&A advisory. Citi believes that its target corporate segment is more resilient under a wide range of economic conditions, and that its relationship-based approach to client service enables it to effectively manage the risks inherent in such relationships. Citi has a well-established risk appetite framework around its corporate lending activities, including risk-based limits and approval authorities and portfolio concentration boundaries.
As of March 31, 2014, ICG had approximately $132 billion of loans outstanding to borrowers in the emerging markets, representing approximately 47% of ICG’s total loans outstanding, as compared to approximately $126 billion or 47% of ICG loans outstanding at December 31, 2013. No single emerging market country accounted for more than 6% of Citi’s ICG loans as of the end of the first quarter 2014.
As of March 31, 2014, approximately two-thirds of Citi’s emerging markets Corporate loans (excluding private bank in ICG) were to borrowers whose ultimate parent was rated investment grade, which Citi considers to be ratings of BBB or better according to Citi’s internal risk measurement system and methodology (for additional information on Citi’s internal risk measurement system for Corporate loans, see “Corporate Credit Details” above). The vast majority of the remainder were rated BB or B according to Citi’s internal risk measurement system and methodology.
Overall ICG net credit losses in the emerging markets were 0.46% of average loans in first quarter of 2014, compared to 0.02% in fourth quarter 2013. The ratio of non-accrual ICG loans to total loans in the emerging markets remained stable at 0.5% as of March 31, 2014.

CROSS-BORDER RISK
Overview
Cross-border risk is the risk that actions taken by a non-U.S. government may prevent the conversion of local currency into non-local currency and/or the transfer of funds outside the country, among other risks, thereby impacting the ability of Citigroup and its customers to transact business across borders. Examples of cross-border risk include actions taken by foreign governments such as exchange controls and restrictions on the remittance of funds. These actions might restrict the transfer of funds or the ability of Citigroup to obtain payment from customers on their contractual obligations. For additional information on certain of the matters described below as well as Citi’s cross-border risk management process, see “Managing Global Risk—Risk Management—Overview” and “Cross-Border Risk,” as well as “Risk Factors—Market and Economic Risks” in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Argentina and Venezuela Developments

Argentina
As of March 31, 2014, Citi’s net investment in its Argentine operations was approximately $690 million, compared to $730 million as of December 31, 2013. As previously disclosed, Citi uses the Argentine peso as the functional currency in Argentina and translates its financial statements into U.S. dollars using the official exchange rate as published by the Central Bank of Argentina.
During the first quarter of 2014, the Argentine peso devalued 19% with an official exchange rate of 8.0 Argentine pesos to one U.S. dollar at March 31, 2014, compared 6.52 Argentine pesos to one U.S. dollar at December 31, 2013. The devaluation of the Argentine peso in the first quarter resulted in a translation loss recorded in stockholders’ equity of approximately $115 million (pretax and net of qualifying net investment hedges) and a pretax foreign currency-related gain of approximately $120 million recognized in net income. As a result of the additional translation loss in the first quarter, at March 31, 2014, Citi’s cumulative translation loss recorded in stockholders’ equity related to its investment in Argentina, net of qualifying net investment hedges, was approximately $1.4 billion (pretax), compared to $1.3 billion (pretax) as of December 31, 2013.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Citi’s total hedges against its net investment in Argentina were approximately $830 million and $940 million, respectively. Of these amounts, approximately $385 million and $160 million, respectively, were foreign currency forwards designated as net investment hedges under ASC 815. The remaining approximately $445 million and $780 million, respectively, were U.S. dollar denominated assets and foreign currency futures, neither of which qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815.
While Citi currently uses the Argentine peso as the functional currency for its operations in Argentina, an increase in inflation resulting in a cumulative three-year inflation rate of 100% or more would result in a change in
 
the functional currency to the U.S. dollar. In February 2014, the Argentine government announced the new national consumer price index (CPI) and official inflation in the first quarter was approximately 46% (annualized). A change in the functional currency to the U.S. dollar would result in future devaluations of the Argentine peso being recorded in earnings for Citi’s Argentine peso-denominated assets and liabilities.
The ongoing economic and political situation in Argentina could lead to further governmental intervention or regulatory restrictions on foreign investments in Argentina, including further devaluation of the Argentine peso, further limits to foreign currency holdings, or the potential redenomination of certain U.S. dollar assets and liabilities into Argentine pesos, which could be accompanied by a devaluation of the Argentine peso. As of March 31, 2014, Citi had total third-party assets of $3.5 billion in Citi Argentina, compared to $3.9 billion at December 31, 2013, consisting of cash, loans and securities. Included in the total assets were U.S.-dollar-denominated assets of approximately $800 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $920 million at December 31, 2013.
For additional information on Citi’s exposures related to Argentina, see “Emerging Market Exposures” above, which sets forth Citi’s trading account assets, investment securities, ICG loans and GCB loans in Argentina, based on the methodology described in such section. As disclosed in such section, these assets totaled approximately $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2014. Approximately $400 million of such exposure is held on non-Argentinian Citi subsidiaries and thus is not included in the $3.5 billion amount set forth above, which pertains only to Citi Argentina, as disclosed.

Venezuela
Beginning in 2003, the Venezuelan government has operated restrictive foreign exchange controls. As of year-end 2013, the Venezuelan government’s Foreign Currency Administration Commission (CADIVI) controlled the purchase and sale of foreign currency at an official exchange rate fixed by the government (as of March 31, 2014, the official exchange rate was fixed at 6.3 bolivars to one U.S. dollar). These exchange controls have limited Citi’s ability to obtain U.S. dollars in Venezuela at the official foreign currency rate; Citi has not been able to acquire U.S. dollars from CADIVI since 2008.
During 2013, the Venezuelan government created the Complimentary System of Foreign Currency Acquirement (SICAD I), an alternate foreign exchange mechanism in Venezuela established to settle certain government approved import transactions. Access to SICAD I is limited to certain industries at certain times, as announced by the government, and there are limits on the amount of currency available. As of March 31, 2014, the rate published by SICAD I for its recent auctions was 10.7 bolivars per U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2014, Citi is not eligible to buy U.S. dollars through SICAD I.
In January 2014, the Venezuelan government replaced CADIVI with the National Center for Foreign Trade (CENCOEX) and announced that the exchange rate to be


90



applied to foreign currency transactions conducted through CENCOEX and related to foreign investment and various other operations will be at the SICAD I published rate. Thus, the rate at which the CENCOEX will buy and sell foreign currency will either be at the official rate of 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar or at the SICAD I rate of 10.7 bolivars per U.S. dollar, each as of March 31, 2014.
As previously disclosed, beginning in the first quarter of 2014, Citi began using the SICAD I rate to remeasure its net bolivar-denominated monetary assets as the SICAD I rate is the only rate, through CENCOEX, at which Citi will be able to acquire U.S. dollars. Citi recognized net foreign exchange losses of approximately $100 million in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the change in the foreign exchange rate used by Citi. Additionally, beginning in the first quarter of 2014, Citi’s revenues and expenses will be translated at the SICAD I rate, and any further changes in the SICAD I exchange rate will result in foreign exchange gains or losses in the future.
Also as previously disclosed, in March 2014, the Venezuelan government launched a third foreign exchange mechanism (SICAD II).  SICAD II is also a regulated foreign exchange market that is intended to be accessible daily to almost all industry sectors and for any purpose; however, banks and non-residents are currently specifically restricted from accessing foreign currency through SICAD II. As of March 31, 2014, the SICAD II exchange rate, as published by the Venezuelan government, was 50.85 bolivars per U.S. dollar.
At March 31, 2014, Citi’s net investment in its Venezuelan operations was approximately $140 million (compared to $240 million at December 31, 2013), which included net monetary assets denominated in Venezuelan bolivars of approximately $120 million (compared to $220 million at December 31, 2013). Total third-party assets of Citi Venezuela were approximately $600 million, compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2013, and were composed primarily of cash, loans and debt securities.

Ukraine
There have been political changes, civil unrest and military action in Ukraine, contributing to significant economic uncertainty and volatility. Citi operates in Ukraine through a subsidiary of Citibank, N.A. and uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. As of March 31, 2014, Citi’s net investment in Ukraine was approximately $130 million, unchanged from December 31, 2013. Substantially all of the net investment was hedged with a Ukraine sovereign bond indexed to foreign exchange rates which is subject to sovereign political risk. Total third-party assets of the Ukraine Citibank subsidiary were approximately $600 million as of March 31, 2014, unchanged from year-end, and were composed primarily of cash on deposit with the Central Bank of Ukraine, short-term local government debt securities and corporate loans. A significant majority of these third-party assets were funded with local deposit liabilities. Citi continues to closely monitor the political, economic and military situation in Ukraine, and will continue to take
 
actions to attempt to mitigate its exposures to potential risk events.

Russia
Russia's engagement in recent events in Ukraine (as discussed under Ukraine above) has been a cause of concern to investors in Russian assets and parties doing business in Russia or with Russian entities, including as a result of the potential risk of wider repercussions on Russian trade and investment, including the effects of sanctions. The Russian ruble has depreciated 8.3% against the U.S. dollar from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014, and over the same period the MICEX Index of leading Russian stocks has declined 9.0%.
Citi operates in Russia through a subsidiary of Citibank, N.A., which uses the Russian ruble as its functional currency. Citi's net investment in Russia was approximately $1.7 billion at March 31, 2014. Substantially all of Citi’s net investment was hedged (subject to related tax adjustments) as of March 31, 2014, using forward foreign exchange contracts. Total third-party assets of the Russian Citibank subsidiary were approximately $7.2 billion as of March 31, 2014. These assets were primarily composed of corporate and consumer loans, local government debt securities, and cash on deposit with the Central Bank of Russia. A significant majority of these third-party assets were funded with local deposit liabilities.
For additional information on Citi’s exposures related to Russia, see “Emerging Market Exposures” above, which sets forth Citi’s trading account assets, investment securities, ICG loans and GCB loans in Russia, based on the methodology described in such section. As disclosed in such section, these assets totaled approximately $9.4 billion as of March 31, 2014. Approximately $4.2 billion of such exposure is held on non-Russian Citi subsidiaries and thus is not included in the $7.2 billion amount set forth above, which pertains only to the Russian Citibank subsidiary, as disclosed.
Citi continues to monitor the potential implications of any adverse developments relating to Russian business, trade or investment, and will attempt to mitigate its exposures and risks relating to Russia as appropriate.

FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS FOR DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE OPTION LIABILITIES
The following discussion relates to the derivative obligor information and the fair valuation for derivatives and liabilities for which the fair value option (FVO) has been elected. See Notes 22 and 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on Citi’s derivative activities and FVO liabilities, respectively.

Fair Valuation Adjustments for Derivatives
The fair value adjustments applied by Citi to its derivative carrying values consist of the following items:
Liquidity adjustments are applied to items in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy (see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details) to ensure that the fair value reflects the price at which the net open risk position could be liquidated. The liquidity reserve is based on the bid/offer spread for an instrument. When Citi has elected to measure certain portfolios of financial investments, such as derivatives, on the basis of the net open risk position, the liquidity reserve is adjusted to take into account the size of the position. Citi uses the relevant benchmark curve for the currency of the derivative (e.g., the London Interbank Offered Rate for U.S. dollar derivatives) as the discount rate for uncollateralized derivatives. As of March 31, 2014, Citi has not recognized any valuation adjustments to reflect the cost of funding uncollateralized derivative positions beyond that implied by the relevant benchmark curve. Citi continues to monitor market practices and activity with respect to discounting in derivative valuation.
Credit valuation adjustments (CVA) are applied to over-the-counter derivative instruments, in which the base valuation generally discounts expected cash flows using the relevant base interest rate curves. Because not all counterparties have the same credit risk as that implied by the relevant base curve, a CVA is necessary to incorporate the market view of both counterparty credit risk and Citi’s own credit risk in the valuation.
Citi’s CVA methodology is composed of two steps. First, the exposure profile for each counterparty is determined using the terms of all individual derivative positions and a Monte Carlo simulation or other quantitative analysis to generate a series of expected cash flows at future points in time. The calculation of this exposure profile considers the effect of credit risk mitigants, including pledged cash or other collateral and any legal right of offset that exists with a counterparty through arrangements such as netting agreements. Individual derivative contracts that are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement with a counterparty are aggregated for this purpose, since it is those aggregate net cash flows that are subject to nonperformance risk. This process identifies specific, point-in-time future cash flows that are subject to nonperformance risk, rather than using the current recognized net asset or liability as a basis to measure the CVA.
Second, market-based views of default probabilities derived from observed credit spreads in the credit default swap (CDS) market are applied to the expected future cash flows
 
determined in step one. Citi’s own-credit CVA is determined using Citi-specific CDS spreads for the relevant tenor. Generally, counterparty CVA is determined using CDS spread indices for each credit rating and tenor. For certain identified netting sets where individual analysis is practicable (e.g., exposures to counterparties with liquid CDSs), counterparty-specific CDS spreads are used.
The CVA is designed to incorporate a market view of the credit risk inherent in the derivative portfolio. However, most unsecured derivative instruments are negotiated bilateral contracts and are not commonly transferred to third parties. Derivative instruments are normally settled contractually or, if terminated early, are terminated at a value negotiated bilaterally between the counterparties. Therefore, the CVA (both counterparty and own-credit) may not be realized upon a settlement or termination in the normal course of business. In addition, all or a portion of the CVA may be reversed or otherwise adjusted in future periods in the event of changes in the credit risk of Citi or its counterparties, or changes in the credit mitigants (collateral and netting agreements) associated with the derivative instruments.
The table below summarizes the CVA applied to the fair value of derivative instruments for the periods indicated:

Own Debt Valuation Adjustments
Own debt valuation adjustments (DVA) are recognized on Citi’s liabilities for which the fair value option (FVO) has been elected using Citi’s credit spreads observed in the bond market. Accordingly, the fair value of the liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected (other than non-recourse and similar liabilities) is impacted by the narrowing or widening of Citi’s credit spreads. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in Citi’s instrument-specific credit risk are estimated by incorporating Citi’s current credit spreads observable in the bond market into the relevant valuation technique used to value each liability.

CREDIT DERIVATIVES
Citigroup makes markets in and trades a range of credit derivatives on behalf of clients and in connection with its risk management activities. Through these contracts, Citi either purchases or writes protection on either a single-name or portfolio basis. Citi primarily uses credit derivatives to help mitigate credit risk in its corporate loan portfolio and other cash positions, and to facilitate client transactions.
Credit derivatives generally require that the seller of credit protection make payments to the buyer upon the occurrence of predefined events (settlement triggers). These settlement triggers, which are defined by the form of the derivative and the referenced credit, are generally limited to the market standard of failure to pay indebtedness and bankruptcy (or comparable events) of the reference credit and, in a more limited range of transactions, debt restructuring. Credit derivative transactions referring to emerging market reference credits will also typically include additional settlement triggers to cover the acceleration of indebtedness and the risk of repudiation or a payment moratorium. In certain transactions on a portfolio of referenced credits or asset-backed securities, the seller of protection may not be required to make payment until a specified amount of losses has occurred with respect to the portfolio and/or may only be required to pay for losses up to a specified amount.
Citi generally has a mismatch between the total notional amounts of protection purchased and sold, and it may hold the
 
reference assets directly, rather than entering into offsetting credit derivative contracts as and when desired. The open risk exposures from credit derivative contracts are largely matched after certain cash positions in reference assets are considered and after notional amounts are adjusted, either to a duration-based equivalent basis or to reflect the level of subordination in tranched structures.
Citi monitors its counterparty credit risk in credit derivative contracts. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately 97% of the gross receivables are from counterparties with which Citi maintains collateral agreements. A majority of Citi’s top 15 counterparties (by receivable balance owed to Citi) are banks, financial institutions or other dealers. Contracts with these counterparties do not include ratings-based termination events. However, counterparty ratings downgrades may have an incremental effect by lowering the threshold at which Citi may call for additional collateral.
The ratings of the credit derivatives portfolio presented in the following table are based on the assigned internal or external ratings of the referenced asset or entity. Where external ratings are used, investment-grade ratings are considered to be ‘Baa/BBB’ and above, while anything below is considered non-investment grade. Citi’s internal ratings are in line with the related external rating system.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets (DTAs) are recorded for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, based upon enacted tax laws and rates. DTAs are recognized subject to management‘s judgment that realization is more likely than not. For additional information, see “Risk Factors—Business and Operational Risks,” “Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates—Income Taxes” and Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At March 31, 2014, Citigroup had recorded net DTAs of approximately $51.7 billion, a decrease of $1.1 billion from December 31, 2013. The sequential decrease in DTAs was driven primarily by the generation of U.S. taxable earnings in Citicorp, as the net loss in Citi Holdings during the current quarter was largely offset by the impact of the corporate tax reforms enacted in two states, including New York, which lowered marginal tax rates and resulted in a reduction in Citi’s state DTAs.
Although realization is not assured, Citi believes that the realization of its recognized net DTAs at March 31, 2014 is more likely than not based on expectations as to future taxable income in the jurisdictions in which the DTAs arise and available tax planning strategies (as defined in ASC 740, Income Taxes) that would be implemented, if necessary, to prevent a carry-forward from expiring. Realization of the DTAs will continue to be driven by Citi’s ability to generate U.S. taxable earnings, including the level of losses within Citi Holdings, in the carry-forward period, as well as through actions that optimize Citi’s U.S. taxable earnings and overall changes to Citi’s Accumulated other comprehensive income.
The following table summarizes Citi’s net DTAs balance at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Approximately $13.2 billion of the net DTAs was not deducted in calculating regulatory capital pursuant to full Basel III implementation standards as of March 31, 2014.

 
Effective Tax Rate
Citi’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 34.2%, compared to 28.5% in the first quarter of 2013. The tax rate in the first quarter of 2014 included a tax charge of $210 million related to the corporate tax reforms in two states. Excluding this tax charge, Citi’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 30.7%.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits Update
Citi expects to conclude its U.S. Internal Revenue Service audit for the 2009-2011 cycle within the next six months. The gross uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2014 for the items that may be resolved are as much as $400 million. Because of the number and nature of the issues remaining to be resolved, the potential tax benefit to continuing operations could be anywhere in a range between $0 and $175 million, while the potential tax benefit to retained earnings could be anywhere in a range between $0 and $220 million.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Citi’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including without limitation that information required to be disclosed by Citi in its SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Citi’s Disclosure Committee assists the CEO and CFO in their responsibilities to design, establish, maintain and evaluate the effectiveness of Citi’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Disclosure Committee is responsible for, among other things, the oversight, maintenance and implementation of the disclosure controls and procedures, subject to the supervision and oversight of the CEO and CFO.
Citi’s management, with the participation of its CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of Citigroup’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2014 and, based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that at that date Citigroup’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO SECTION 219 OF THE IRAN THREAT REDUCTION AND SYRIA HUMAN RIGHTS ACT

Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, which added Section 13(r) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Citi is required to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with individuals or entities that are subject to sanctions under U.S. law. Disclosure is generally required even where the activities, transactions or dealings were conducted in compliance with applicable law.
Citibank, N.A. has one credit card account for the Iranian Mission to the United Nations located in the United States. This is a commercial account used primarily for the purchase of gasoline. The provision of certain services in the United States to the diplomatic mission of the Government of Iran is authorized by an OFAC General License; however, in October 2012, certain additional requirements were published. With regard to these requirements, Citi has applied to OFAC for a specific license for this account. During the first quarter of 2014, the aggregate value of the transactions for this account was approximately $3,600.00. The transactions did not generate any revenue or net profit for Citi.

continued uncertainty arising from numerous aspects of the regulatory capital requirements applicable to Citi, including those resulting from Citi’s continued implementation of the final U.S. Basel III rules, any changes to those rules (e.g., changes to the method for determining the U.S. Basel III Supplementary Leverage ratio) and the ongoing regulatory review and approval of Citi’s risk models, and the potential impact these uncertainties could have on Citi’s ability to meet its capital requirements as it projects or as required;
the potential impact of U.S. and international derivatives regulation on Citi’s competitiveness, compliance costs and regulatory and reputational risks and results of operations;
ongoing implementation of proprietary trading restrictions under the “Volcker Rule” and similar international proposals and the potential impact of these reforms on Citi’s global market-making businesses, results of operations and compliance risks and costs;
the ongoing uncertainty and potential impact to Citi’s businesses and capital and funding structure as a result of regulatory requirements in the U.S. and in non-U.S. jurisdictions to facilitate the future orderly resolution of large financial institutions;
 
additional regulations with respect to securitizations and the potential impact to Citi and its businesses;
continued uncertainty relating to the sustainability and pace of economic recovery and growth in the U.S. and globally and the potential impact fiscal and monetary actions taken by U.S. and non-U.S. authorities may have on economic recovery and growth, global trading markets, and the emerging markets, as well as Citi’s businesses and results of operations;
any significant global economic downturn or disruption, including a significant decline in global trade volumes, on Citi’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition, particularly as compared to Citi’s competitors;
uncertainty arising from the level of U.S. government debt or a potential U.S. government default or downgrade of the U.S. government credit rating on Citi’s businesses, results of operations, capital, funding and liquidity;
risks arising from Citi’s extensive operations outside of the U.S., including in the emerging markets such as in Mexico, Argentina and Venezuela, including as a result of foreign exchange controls, limitations on foreign investments, sociopolitical instability, fraud, nationalization, closure of branches or subsidiaries and confiscation of assets, as well as increased compliance and regulatory risks and costs;
the potential impact on Citi’s businesses, financial condition or results of operations arising from the imposition of sanctions against Russian entities, business sectors, individuals or otherwise;
ongoing economic and fiscal issues in the Eurozone and the potential outcomes that could occur, including the exit of one or more countries from the European Monetary Union and any resulting redenomination/revaluation, and the potential impact, directly or indirectly, on Citi’s businesses, results of operations or financial condition;
uncertainty regarding the future quantitative liquidity requirements applicable to Citi and the potential impact these requirements could have on Citi’s liquidity ratios (including as a result of the proposed U.S. Basel III Liquidity Coverage Ratio), planning, management and funding;
potential impacts on Citi’s liquidity and/or costs of funding as a result of external factors, such as market disruptions, governmental fiscal and monetary policies and changes in Citi’s credit spreads;
reductions in Citi’s or its more significant subsidiaries’ credit ratings and the potential impact on Citi’s funding and liquidity, as well as the results of operations for certain of its businesses;
the potential impact on Citi’s businesses, business practices, reputation, financial condition or results of operations from the extensive legal and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries to which Citi is subject, including those related to Citi’s U.S. mortgage-related activities, Citi’s contribution to, or trading in products linked to, various rates or benchmarks, and its anti-money laundering programs;
the potential impact to Citi’s delinquency rates, loan loss reserves and net credit losses as Citi’s revolving home

equity lines of credit begin to “reset,” and Citi’s ability to reduce or mitigate this reset risk going forward;
the results of the 2014 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) process, including Citi’s ability to address the Federal Reserve Board’s concerns regarding its capital planning process, and the impacts on Citi’s ability to return capital to shareholders and market perceptions of Citi;
Citi’s ability to successfully execute on and achieve its ongoing execution priorities, including Citi’s ability to reduce its elevated legal and regulatory expenses in Citi Holdings and thus continue to drive Citi Holdings closer to “break even,” and the potential impact its inability to do so, as well as the impact of factors it cannot control, such as the level of authorized capital returns, could have on the achievement of its 2015 financial targets;
Citi’s ability to continue to utilize its deferred tax assets (DTAs), including the foreign tax credit components of its DTAs, and thus utilize the regulatory capital supporting its DTAs for more productive purposes;
the impact on the value of Citi’s DTAs if corporate tax rates in the U.S. or certain state or foreign jurisdictions decline, or if other changes are made to the U.S. tax system, such as changes to the tax treatment of foreign business income;
the possibility that Citi’s interpretation or application of the extensive tax laws to which it is subject, such as with respect to withholding tax obligations and stamp and other transactional taxes, could differ from that of the relevant governmental taxing authorities;
Citi’s failure to maintain its contractual relationships with various third-party retailers and merchants within its U.S. credit card businesses in NA RCB, and the potential impact any such failure could have on the results of operations or financial condition of those businesses;
the potential impact to Citi from continually evolving cybersecurity and other technological risks and attacks, including additional costs, reputational damage, regulatory penalties and financial losses;
the potential impact on Citi’s performance, including its competitive position and ability to execute its strategy, if Citi is unable to hire or retain qualified employees;
incorrect assumptions or estimates in Citi’s financial statements, and the potential impact of regulatory or other changes to financial accounting and reporting standards on how Citi records and reports its financial condition and results of operations;
changes in the administration of or method for determining LIBOR on the value of any LIBOR-linked securities and other financial obligations held or issued by Citi;
the effectiveness of Citi’s risk management and mitigation processes and strategies, including the effectiveness of its risk models; and
Citi’s ability to achieve its expected expense savings as a result of its repositioning actions as well as its ongoing efficiency initiatives.

Certain prior period revenue and expense lines and totals were reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Note 3 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2)
The first quarter of 2013 included the recognition of a $105 million impairment charge related to the carrying value of Citi’s then-remaining 35% interest in the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture (MSSB), which was offset by the equity pickup from MSSB in the quarter that was recorded in Other revenue.
(3) Due to rounding earnings per share on continuing operations and discontinuing operations may not sum to earnings per share on net income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2014 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 include the accounts of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the Company, Citi or Citigroup). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Citigroup’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.
Management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnote disclosures. While management makes its best judgment, actual results could differ from those estimates. Current market conditions increase the risk and complexity of the judgments in these estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-period’s financial statements and notes to conform to the current period’s presentation.
As noted above, the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited.

Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Citigroup and its subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights or where it exercises control. Entities where the Company holds 20% to 50% of the voting rights and/or has the ability to exercise significant influence, other than investments of designated venture capital subsidiaries or investments accounted for at fair value under the fair value option, are accounted for under the equity method, and the pro rata share of their income (loss) is included in Other revenue. Income from investments in less than 20% owned companies is recognized when dividends are received. As discussed in more detail in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Citigroup consolidates entities deemed to be variable interest entities when Citigroup is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Gains and losses on the disposition of branches, subsidiaries, affiliates, buildings, and other investments are included in Other revenue.

 
Citibank, N.A.
Citibank, N.A. is a commercial bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. Citibank’s principal offerings include: consumer finance, mortgage lending, and retail banking products and services; investment banking, commercial banking, cash management, trade finance and e-commerce products and services; and private banking products and services.

Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition. The Company has identified six policies as being significant because they require management to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies relate to Valuations of Financial Instruments, Allowance for Credit Losses, Securitizations, Goodwill, Income Taxes and Litigation Accruals. The Company, in consultation with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, has reviewed and approved these significant accounting policies, which are further described under “Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates” and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Investment Companies
In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-08, Financial Services Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. This ASU introduced a new approach for assessing whether an entity is an investment company. To determine whether an entity is an investment company for accounting purposes, Citi is now required to evaluate the fundamental and typical characteristics of the entity, including its purpose and design.
The ASU became effective for Citi on January 1, 2014. There was no impact from the adoption of this ASU. As of March 31, 2014, Citi has approximately $4.4 billion of assets held by consolidated investment companies which are accounted for in accordance with the Investment Company Audit Guide (codified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 946).

Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Foreign Subsidiaries
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU resolved diversity that existed in practice, and requires that, for transactions within a foreign entity, a parent should not


109



reclassify into earnings an allocated portion of the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) when its foreign entity sells a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within the foreign entity, unless the sale represents a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. This guidance requires the CTA to remain in equity until the foreign entity is disposed of or it is completely or substantially liquidated. Sales or other transactions that result in the parent company’s loss of control over the foreign entity, irrespective of any retained investment, would be accounted for as a sale; thus, the entire CTA would be reclassified into earnings. A partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity would result in a pro rata share of CTA being reclassified into earnings. Consistent with the accounting for step acquisitions, the ASU requires that the CTA be reclassified into earnings when a parent company obtains a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity that was previously an equity method investment.
This ASU was effective for Citi on January 1, 2014 and was applied on a prospective basis. The accounting prescribed in this ASU is consistent with Citi’s prior practice and, as a result, adoption did not result in any impact to Citi.

Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). As a result of applying this ASU, an unrecognized tax benefit is presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) or other tax credit carry-forward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The assessment of whether settlement is available under the tax law is based on facts and circumstances as of the balance sheet reporting date and does not consider future events (e.g., upcoming expiration of related NOL carry-forwards). This classification does not affect an entity’s analysis of the realization of its deferred tax assets. Gross presentation in the rollforward of unrecognized tax positions in the notes to the financial statements is still required.
This ASU was effective for Citi on January 1, 2014 and was applied on a prospective basis to all unrecognized tax benefits that existed at the effective date. The impact of adopting this ASU was not material to Citi.

OIS Benchmark Rate
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU permits the Fed funds effective swap rate (OIS) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate, in addition to the U.S. Treasury rate and LIBOR, for hedge accounting purposes. The ASU also permits using different benchmark rates for similar hedges.
 
This ASU became effective upon issuance and permitted prospective application for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships commencing on or after July 17, 2013. Introducing a new benchmark interest rate eligible for hedging under ASC 815 improves the Company’s ability to manage interest rate risk by allowing the designation of hedging derivatives that are more closely aligned with the interest rate risk profile of certain assets and liabilities.

Remeasurement of Significant Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans
In the second quarter of 2013, the Company changed the method of accounting for its most significant pension and postretirement benefit plans (Significant Plans) such that plan obligations, plan assets and periodic plan expense are remeasured and disclosed quarterly, instead of annually. The effect of remeasuring the Significant Plan obligations and assets by updating plan actuarial assumptions on a quarterly basis is reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and periodic plan expense. The Significant Plans captured approximately 80% of the Company’s global pension and postretirement plan obligations at December 31, 2012 and 2013. All other plans (All Other Plans) will continue to be remeasured annually. Quarterly measurement for the Significant Plans provides a more timely measurement of the funded status and periodic plan expense for the Company’s significant pension and postretirement benefit plans.
The cumulative effect of this change in accounting policy was an approximate $20 million (pretax) decrease in net periodic plan expense in the second quarter of 2013, as well as a pretax increase of approximately $22 million to Accumulated other comprehensive income as of April 1, 2013. The change in accounting methodology had an immaterial impact on prior periods. For additional information, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reclassification Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which required new footnote disclosures of items reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) to net income. The requirements became effective for the first quarter of 2013 and are included in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU is intended to simplify the guidance for testing the decline in the realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. Some examples of intangible assets subject to the guidance include indefinite-


110



lived trademarks, licenses and distribution rights. The ASU allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment about the likelihood of impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test. The ASU became effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.
In performing the annual impairment analysis for indefinite-lived intangible assets in July 2013, including goodwill, Citi elected to bypass the optional qualitative assessment described above, choosing instead to perform a quantitative analysis. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Offsetting
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The ASU requires new disclosures for derivatives, resale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset in the balance sheet (presented on a net basis) or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar arrangement. The standard requires disclosures that provide incremental gross and net information in the current notes to the financial statements for the relevant assets and liabilities. The ASU did not change the existing offsetting eligibility criteria or the permitted balance sheet presentation for those instruments that meet the eligibility criteria.
The new incremental disclosure requirements became effective for Citigroup on January 1, 2013 and were required to be presented retrospectively for prior periods. The incremental requirements can be found in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for resale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending transactions and Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for derivatives.

FUTURE APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Partnerships
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects, which is effective for Citi for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Any transition adjustment would be reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings in the earliest period presented (retrospective application). The ASU will be applicable to Citi’s portfolio of low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) partnership interests. The new standard widens the scope of investments eligible to elect to apply a new alternative method, the proportional amortization method, under which the cost of the investment is amortized to tax expense in proportion to the amount of tax credits and other tax benefits received. Citi anticipates that its entire LIHTC portfolio will qualify to elect the proportional amortization method under the ASU. These investments are currently accounted for
 
under the equity method, which results in losses (due to amortization of the investment) being recognized in Other revenue and tax credits and benefits being recognized in the Income tax expense line. In contrast, the proportional amortization method combines the amortization of the investment and receipt of the tax credits/benefits into one line, Income tax expense. The adoption of this ASU is estimated to reduce Retained earnings by approximately $350 million, reduce Other assets by approximately $220 million, and reduce deferred tax assets by approximately $130 million. Early adoption of this new standard is permitted.

Reclassification of Defaulted Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. This ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs that would require a transfer of the mortgage loan to other real estate owned (OREO). Under the ASU, repossession or foreclosure is deemed to have occurred when (1) the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property or (2) the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy the mortgage loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a similar legal agreement. The ASU will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and can be early adopted. The ASU can be adopted using either a modified retrospective method or a prospective transition method with the cumulative effect being recognized in the beginning retained earnings of the earliest annual period for which the ASU is adopted. The standard will not have a material effect on Citi’s Consolidated Financial Statements, as Citi’s current practice complies with the ASU’s provisions.

Accounting for Financial Instruments-Credit Losses
In December 2012, the FASB issued a proposed ASU, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. This proposed ASU, or exposure draft, was issued for public comment in order to allow stakeholders the opportunity to review the proposal and provide comments to the FASB and does not constitute accounting guidance until a final ASU is issued.
The exposure draft contains proposed guidance developed by the FASB with the goal of improving financial reporting about expected credit losses on loans, securities and other financial assets held by banks, financial institutions, and other public and private organizations. The exposure draft proposes a new accounting model intended to require earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk.
The FASB’s proposed model would utilize a single “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired and for securities where fair value is less than cost, replacing the multiple existing impairment models in GAAP, which


111



generally require that a loss be “incurred” before it is recognized.
The FASB’s proposed model represents a significant departure from existing GAAP, and may result in material changes to the Company’s accounting for financial instruments. The impact of the FASB’s final ASU on the Company’s financial statements will be assessed when it is issued. The exposure draft does not contain a proposed effective date; this would be included in the final ASU, when issued.

Discontinued Operations
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The ASU changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures. Under the ASU, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations, such as a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business or a major equity method investment, may be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, the ASU requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations.
The ASU also requires disclosure of the pretax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The ASU will be effective prospectively for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and for interim periods within those years. The ASU does not permit an entity to apply the amended definition of discontinued operations to a component of an entity that was classified as held-for-sale before the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The ASU will result in fewer disposals being reported as discontinued operations. Citi does not expect adoption of the ASU to have a material effect on Citi’s financial statements.

 
Other Potential Amendments to Current Accounting Standards
The FASB and International Accounting Standards Board, either jointly or separately, are currently working on several major projects, including amendments to existing accounting standards governing financial instruments discussed above, revenue recognition and consolidation. The FASB is also working on a joint project that would require substantially all leases to be capitalized on the balance sheet. Additionally, the FASB has issued a proposal on principal-agent considerations that would change the way the Company needs to evaluate whether to consolidate VIEs and non-VIE partnerships. The principal-agent consolidation proposal would require all VIEs, including those that are investment companies, to be evaluated for consolidation under the same requirements.
All of these projects may have significant impacts for the Company. Upon completion of the standards, the Company will need to re-evaluate its accounting and disclosures. However, due to ongoing deliberations of the standard setters, the Company is currently unable to determine the effect of future amendments or proposals.

The following Discontinued operations are recorded within the Corporate/Other segment.

Sale of Brazil Credicard Business
On December 20, 2013, Citi sold its non-Citibank branded cards and consumer finance business in Brazil (Credicard) for approximately $1.24 billion.  The sale resulted in a pretax gain of $206 million ($325 million after-tax). In the first quarter

3. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Citigroup is a diversified bank holding company whose businesses provide a broad range of financial services to Consumer and Corporate customers around the world. The Company’s activities are conducted through the Global Consumer Banking (GCB), Institutional Clients Group (ICG), Corporate/Other and Citi Holdings business segments.
The GCB segment includes a global, full-service Consumer franchise delivering a wide array of banking, credit card lending and investment services through a network of local branches, offices and electronic delivery systems and is composed of four Regional Consumer Banking (RCB) businesses: North America, EMEA, Latin America and Asia.
The Company’s ICG segment is composed of Banking and Markets and Securities Services and provides corporate, institutional, public sector and high-net-worth clients in approximately 100 countries with a broad range of banking and financial products and services.
Corporate/Other includes net treasury results, unallocated corporate expenses, offsets to certain line-item reclassifications (eliminations), the results of discontinued operations and unallocated taxes.
The Citi Holdings segment is composed of businesses and portfolios of assets that Citigroup has determined are not central to its core Citicorp businesses.
 
The accounting policies of these reportable segments are the same as those disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The prior-period balances reflect reclassifications to conform the presentation in those periods to the current period’s presentation. Effective January 1, 2014, certain business activities within the former Securities and Banking and Transaction Services were realigned and aggregated as Banking and Markets and Securities Services within ICG. This change was due to the realignment of the management structure within the ICG segment and did not impact any total segment-level information. In addition, during the first quarter of 2014, reclassifications were made related to Citi’s re-allocation of certain administrative, operations and technology costs among Citi’s businesses, the allocation of certain costs from the Corporate/Other segment to Citi’s businesses as well as certain immaterial reclassifications between revenues and expenses affecting ICG.

5.     COMMISSIONS AND FEES
The primary components of Commissions and fees revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were investment banking fees, credit card and bank card fees, trading-related fees and treasury and trade solutions and securities services in ICG.
Investment banking fees are substantially composed of underwriting and advisory revenues. Investment banking fees are recognized when Citigroup’s performance under the terms of the contractual arrangements is completed, which is typically at the closing of the transaction. Underwriting revenue is recorded in Commissions and fees, net of both reimbursable and non-reimbursable expenses, consistent with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Brokers and Dealers in Securities (codified in ASC 940-605-05-1). Expenses associated with advisory transactions are recorded in Other operating expenses, net of client reimbursements. Out-of-pocket expenses are deferred and recognized at the time the related revenue is recognized. In general, expenses incurred related to investment banking transactions that fail to close (are not consummated) are recorded gross in Other operating expenses.
Credit card and bank card fees are primarily composed of interchange revenue and certain card fees, including annual fees, reduced by reward program costs and certain partner payments. Interchange revenue and fees are recognized when earned, except for annual card fees, which are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a 12-month period. Reward costs are recognized when points are earned by the customers.
Trading-related fees primarily include commissions and fees from the following: executing transactions for clients on exchanges and over-the-counter markets; sale of mutual funds, insurance and other annuity products; and assisting clients in clearing transactions, providing brokerage services and other such activities. Trading-related fees are recognized when earned in Commissions and fees. Gains or losses, if any, on these transactions are included in Principal transactions (see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

6. PRINCIPAL TRANSACTIONS
Principal transactions revenue consists of realized and unrealized gains and losses from trading activities. Trading activities include revenues from fixed income, equities, credit and commodities products, and foreign exchange transactions. Not included in the table below is the impact of net interest revenue related to trading activities, which is an integral part of trading activities’ profitability. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about net interest revenue related to trading activity. Principal transactions include CVA (credit valuation adjustment on derivatives) and DVA (debt valuation adjustments on issued liabilities, for which the fair value option has been elected).

7. INCENTIVE PLANS

All equity awards granted since April 19, 2005 have been made pursuant to stockholder-approved stock incentive plans that are administered by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Citigroup Board of Directors, which is composed entirely of independent non-employee directors. For additional information on Citi’s incentive plans, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

8. RETIREMENT BENEFITS

For additional information on Citi’s retirement benefits, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Pension and Postretirement Plans
The Company has several noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain U.S. employees and has various defined benefit pension and termination indemnity plans covering employees outside the United States. The U.S. qualified defined benefit plan was frozen effective January 1, 2008 for most employees. Accordingly, no additional compensation-based contributions were credited to the cash balance portion of the plan for existing plan participants after 2007. However, certain employees covered under the prior final pay plan formula continue to accrue benefits. The Company also offers postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain eligible U.S. retired employees, as well as to certain eligible employees outside the United States.
The Company also sponsors a number of noncontributory, nonqualified pension plans. These plans, which are unfunded,
 
provide supplemental defined pension benefits to certain U.S. employees. With the exception of certain employees covered under the prior final pay plan formula, the benefits under these plans were frozen in prior years.
In the second quarter of 2013, the Company changed the method of accounting for its most significant pension and postretirement benefit plans (Significant Plans) such that plan obligations, plan assets and periodic plan expense are remeasured and disclosed quarterly, instead of annually. The Significant Plans capture approximately 80% of the Company’s global pension and postretirement plan obligations as of December 31, 2013. All other plans (All Other Plans) are remeasured annually with a December 31 measurement date. For additional information, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Plan Assumptions
The Company utilizes a number of assumptions to determine plan obligations and expenses. Changes in one or a combination of these assumptions will have an impact on the Company’s pension and postretirement project benefit obligation, funded status and (benefit) expense. Changes in the plans’ funded status resulting from changes in the project benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets will have a corresponding impact on Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The discount rates used in determining the pension and postretirement net (benefit) expense and benefit obligations for the Significant Plans are shown in the following tables:

Effective April 1, 2013, the Company changed to a quarterly remeasurement approach for its six largest plans, including the U.S. qualified pension and postretirement plans. For the Significant Plans, the
 
2013 rates shown above were utilized to calculate the fourth quarter expense in 2013. The 2014 rates shown above were utilized to calculate the first quarter expense for 2014.

(1)
For the Significant Plans, the 2014 rates shown above are utilized to calculate the March 31, 2014 benefit obligation and will be utilized to calculate the 2014 second quarter expense.

Sensitivities of Certain Key Assumptions
The following table summarizes the estimated effect on the Company’s Significant Plans quarterly pension expense of a one-percentage-point change in the discount rate:

Since the U.S. qualified pension plan was frozen, the majority of the prospective service cost has been eliminated and the gain/loss amortization period was changed to the life expectancy for inactive participants. As a result, pension expense for the U.S. qualified pension plan is driven more by interest costs than service costs, and an increase in the discount rate would increase pension expense, while a decrease in the discount rate would decrease pension expense.


121



Contributions
The Company’s funding practice for U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans is generally to fund to minimum funding requirements in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations. The Company may increase its contributions above the minimum required contribution, if appropriate. In addition, management has the ability to change its funding practices. For the U.S. pension plans, there were no required minimum cash contributions during the first quarter of 2014.
 
The following table summarizes the actual Company contributions for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as estimated expected Company contributions for the remainder of the year. Expected contributions are subject to change since contribution decisions are affected by various factors, such as market performance and regulatory requirements.

The U.S. pension plans include benefits paid directly by the Company for the nonqualified pension plans.     
(2)
Company contributions are composed of cash contributions made to the plans and benefits paid directly to participants by the Company.

Defined Contribution Plans
The Company sponsors defined contribution plans in the U.S. and in certain non-U.S. locations, all of which are administered in accordance with local laws. The most significant defined contribution plan is the Citigroup 401(k) Plan sponsored by the Company in the U.S.
Under the Citigroup 401(k) Plan, eligible U.S. employees receive matching contributions of up to 6% of their eligible compensation for 2014 and 2013, subject to statutory limits. Additionally, for eligible employees whose eligible compensation is $100,000 or less, a fixed contribution of up to 2% of eligible compensation is provided. All company
contributions are invested according to participants’ individual
elections. The pretax expense associated with this plan amounted to approximately $103 million for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 
Postemployment Plans
The Company sponsors U.S. postemployment plans that provide income continuation and health and welfare benefits to certain eligible U.S. employees on long-term disability.

During the first quarters of 2014 and 2013, weighted-average options to purchase 0.9 million and 8.2 million shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of earnings per share because the weighted-average exercise prices of $194.37 and $80.84, respectively, were anti-dilutive.
(3)
Warrants issued to the U.S. Treasury as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and the loss-sharing agreement (all of which were subsequently sold to the public in January 2011), with an exercise price of $178.50 and $106.10 for approximately 21.0 million and 25.5 million shares of Citigroup common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of earnings per share in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013 because they were anti-dilutive.
(4)
Due to rounding, earnings per share on continuing operations and discontinued operations may not sum to earnings per share on net income.

The resale and repurchase agreements represent collateralized financing transactions. The Company executes these transactions through its broker-dealer subsidiaries to facilitate customer matched-book activity and to efficiently fund a portion of the Company’s trading inventory. Transactions executed by the Company’s bank subsidiaries primarily facilitate customer financing activity.
It is the Company’s policy to take possession of the underlying collateral, monitor its market value relative to the amounts due under the agreements and, when necessary, require prompt transfer of additional collateral in order to maintain contractual margin protection. Collateral typically consists of government and government-agency securities, corporate and municipal bonds, and mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities.
The resale and repurchase agreements are generally documented under industry standard agreements that allow the prompt close-out of all transactions (including the liquidation of securities held) and the offsetting of obligations to return cash or securities by the non-defaulting party, following a payment or other type of default under the relevant master agreement. Events of default generally include: (i) failure to deliver cash or securities as required under the transaction, (ii) failure to provide or return cash or securities as used for margining purposes, (iii) breach of representation, (iv) cross-default to another transaction entered into among the parties, or, in some cases, their affiliates, and (v) a repudiation of obligations under the agreement. The counterparty that
 
receives the securities in these transactions is generally unrestricted in its use of the securities, with the exception of transactions executed on a tri-party basis.
The majority of the resale and repurchase agreements is recorded at fair value, as described in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The remaining portion is carried at the amount of cash initially advanced or received, plus accrued interest, as specified in the respective agreements.
The securities borrowing and lending agreements also represent collateralized financing transactions similar to the resale and repurchase agreements. Collateral typically consists of government and government-agency securities and corporate debt and equity securities.
Similar to the resale and repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and lending agreements are generally documented under industry standard agreements that allow the prompt close-out of all transactions (including the liquidation of securities held) and the offsetting of obligations to return cash or securities by the non-defaulting party, following a payment or other default by the other party under the relevant master agreement. Events of default and rights to use securities under the securities borrowing and lending agreements are similar to the resale and repurchase agreements referenced above.
A majority of securities borrowing and lending agreements is recorded at the amount of cash advanced or received. The remaining portion is recorded at fair value as the Company elected the fair value option for certain securities borrowed and loaned portfolios, as described in Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. With respect to securities loaned, the Company receives cash collateral in an amount generally in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. The Company monitors the market value of securities borrowed and securities loaned on a daily basis and obtains or posts additional collateral in order to maintain contractual margin protection.
The enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in the master netting agreements for resale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending agreements is evidenced to the extent that a supportive legal opinion has been obtained from counsel of recognized standing which provides the requisite level of certainty regarding the enforceability of these agreements and that the exercise of rights by the non-defaulting party to terminate and close-out transactions on a net basis under these agreements will not be stayed, or avoided under applicable law upon an event of default including bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
A legal opinion may not have been sought or obtained for certain jurisdictions where local law is silent or sufficiently ambiguous to determine the enforceability of offsetting rights or where adverse case law or conflicting regulation may cast doubt on the enforceability of such rights. In some jurisdictions and for some counterparty types, the insolvency law for a particular counterparty type may be nonexistent or unclear as overlapping regimes may exist. For example, this may be the case for certain sovereigns, municipalities, central banks and U.S. pension plans.

The following tables present the gross and net resale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending
agreements and the related offsetting amount permitted under ASC 210-20-45, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The tables also include amounts related to financial instruments that are not permitted to be offset under ASC 210-20-45 but would be eligible for offsetting to the extent an
 
event of default occurred and a legal opinion supporting enforceability of the offsetting rights has been obtained. Remaining exposures continue to be secured by financial collateral, but the Company may not have sought or been able to obtain a legal opinion evidencing enforceability of the offsetting right.

11. BROKERAGE RECEIVABLES AND BROKERAGE
PAYABLES

The Company has receivables and payables for financial instruments sold to and purchased from brokers, dealers and customers, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company is exposed to risk of loss from the inability of brokers, dealers or customers to pay for purchases or to deliver the financial instruments sold, in which case the Company would have to sell or purchase the financial instruments at prevailing market prices. Credit risk is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts as a counterparty to the transaction and replaces the broker, dealer or customer in question.
The Company seeks to protect itself from the risks associated with customer activities by requiring customers to maintain margin collateral in compliance with regulatory and internal guidelines. Margin levels are monitored daily, and customers deposit additional collateral as required. Where customers cannot meet collateral requirements, the Company will liquidate sufficient underlying financial instruments to bring the customer into compliance with the required margin level.
Exposure to credit risk is impacted by market volatility, which may impair the ability of clients to satisfy their obligations to the Company. Credit limits are established and closely monitored for customers and for brokers and dealers engaged in forwards, futures and other transactions deemed to be credit sensitive.
Brokerage receivables and Brokerage payables consisted of the following at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

The Company has sold various debt securities that were classified as HTM. These sales were in response to a significant deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuers or securities. In addition, certain securities were reclassified to AFS investments in response to significant credit deterioration and, because the Company intends to sell the securities, Citi recorded OTTI on the securities. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, gain (loss) on HTM securities sold, securities reclassified to AFS and OTTI recorded on AFS securities reclassified.

(1)
Gross unrealized gains and losses, as presented, do not include the impact of minority investments and the related allocations and pick-up of unrealized gains and losses of AFS securities. These amounts totaled $6 million and $36 million of unrealized gains as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
(2)
The Company invests in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. These securitizations are generally considered VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from these VIEs is equal to the carrying amount of the securities, which is reflected in the table above. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securitizations in which the Company has other involvement, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3)
The unrealized losses on state and municipal debt securities are primarily attributable to the effects of fair value hedge accounting.  Specifically, Citi hedges the LIBOR-benchmark interest rate component of certain fixed-rate tax-exempt state and municipal debt securities utilizing LIBOR-based interest rate swaps.  During the hedge period, losses incurred on the LIBOR-hedging swaps recorded in earnings were substantially offset by gains on the state and municipal debt securities attributable to changes in the LIBOR swap rate being hedged.  However, because the LIBOR swap rate decreased significantly during the hedge period while the overall fair value of the municipal debt securities was relatively unchanged, the effect of reclassifying fair value gains on these securities from Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to earnings, attributable solely to changes in the LIBOR swap rate, resulted in net unrealized losses remaining in AOCI that relate to the unhedged components of these securities. 
As discussed in more detail below, the Company conducts and documents periodic reviews of all securities with unrealized losses to evaluate whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. Any credit-related impairment related to debt securities that the Company does not plan to sell and is not
 
likely to be required to sell is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income, with the non-credit-related impairment recognized in AOCI. For other debt securities with OTTI, the entire impairment is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

(1)
For securities transferred to HTM from Trading account assets, amortized cost is defined as the fair value of the securities at the date of transfer plus any accretion income and less any impairments recognized in earnings subsequent to transfer. For securities transferred to HTM from AFS, amortized cost is defined as the original purchase cost, plus or minus any accretion or amortization of a purchase discount or premium, less any impairment recognized in earnings.
(2)
HTM securities are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at amortized cost, plus or minus any unamortized unrealized gains and losses recognized in AOCI prior to reclassifying the securities from AFS to HTM. The changes in the values of these securities are not reported in the financial statements, except for other-than-temporary impairments. For HTM securities, the credit loss component of the impairment is recognized in earnings, while the remainder of the difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in AOCI.
(3)
The Company invests in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. These securitizations are generally considered VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from these VIEs is equal to the carrying amount of the securities, which is reflected in the table above. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securitizations in which the Company has other involvement, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity absent any unforeseen further significant changes in circumstances, including deterioration in credit or with regard to regulatory capital requirements.
The net unrealized losses classified in AOCI relate to debt securities previously reclassified from AFS investments to HTM investments. Additionally, for HTM securities that have suffered credit impairment, declines in fair value for reasons other than credit losses are recorded in AOCI, while credit-
 
related impairment is recognized in earnings. The AOCI balance for HTM securities is amortized over the remaining life of the related securities as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the accretion of discount on the same debt securities. This will have no impact on the Company’s net income because the amortization of the unrealized holding loss reported in equity will offset the effect on interest income of the accretion of the discount on these securities.

Evaluating Investments for Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

Overview
The Company conducts and documents periodic reviews of all securities with unrealized losses to evaluate whether the impairment is other-than-temporary.
An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that are determined to be temporary in nature are recorded, net of tax, in AOCI for AFS securities. Losses related to HTM securities generally are not recorded, as these investments are carried at amortized cost. However, for HTM securities with credit-related losses, the credit loss component of the difference to adjust the security to fair value is recognized in earnings, while the remainder is recognized in AOCI. For securities transferred to HTM from Trading account assets, amortized cost is defined as the fair value of the securities at the date of transfer, plus any accretion income and less any impairment recognized in earnings subsequent to
 
transfer. For securities transferred to HTM from AFS, amortized cost is defined as the original purchase cost, plus or minus any accretion or amortization of a purchase discount or premium, less any impairment recognized in earnings.
Regardless of the classification of the securities as AFS or HTM, the Company has assessed each position with an unrealized loss for OTTI. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include:
the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been below cost;
the severity of the impairment;
the cause of the impairment and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer;
activity in the market of the issuer that may indicate adverse credit conditions; and
the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery.



133



The Company’s review for impairment generally entails:

identification and evaluation of investments that have indications of possible impairment;
analysis of individual investments that have fair values less than amortized cost, including consideration of the length of time the investment has been in an unrealized loss position and the expected recovery period;
discussion of evidential matter, including an evaluation of factors or triggers that could cause individual investments to qualify as having other-than-temporary impairment and those that would not support other-than-temporary impairment; and
documentation of the results of these analyses, as required under business policies.
Debt
Under the guidance for debt securities, OTTI is recognized in earnings for debt securities that the Company has an intent to sell or that the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis. For those securities that the Company does not intend to sell or expect to be required to sell, credit-related impairment is recognized in earnings, with the non-credit-related impairment recorded in AOCI.
For debt securities that are not deemed to be credit impaired, management assesses whether it intends to sell or whether it is more-likely-than-not that it would be required to sell the investment before the expected recovery of the amortized cost basis. In most cases, management has asserted that it has no intent to sell and that it believes it is not likely to be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Where such an assertion cannot be made, the security’s decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary and is recorded in earnings.
For debt securities, a critical component of the evaluation for OTTI is the identification of credit impaired securities, where management does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. For securities purchased and classified as AFS with the expectation of receiving full principal and interest cash flows as of the date of purchase, this analysis considers the likelihood and the timing of receiving all contractual principal and interest.

Equity
For equity securities, management considers the various factors described above, including its intent and ability to hold the equity security for a period of time sufficient for recovery to cost or whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its cost basis. Where management lacks that intent or ability, the security’s decline in fair value is deemed to be other-than-temporary and is recorded in earnings. AFS equity securities deemed other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to fair value, with the full difference between fair value and cost recognized in earnings.
Management assesses equity method investments with fair value less than carrying value for OTTI. Fair value is measured as price multiplied by quantity if the investee has
 
publicly listed securities. If the investee is not publicly listed, other methods are used (see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
For impaired equity method investments that Citi plans to sell prior to recovery of value or would likely be required to sell, with no expectation that the fair value will recover prior to the expected sale date, the full impairment is recognized in earnings as OTTI regardless of severity and duration. The measurement of the OTTI does not include partial projected recoveries subsequent to the balance sheet date.
For impaired equity method investments that management does not plan to sell prior to recovery of value and is not likely to be required to sell, the evaluation of whether an impairment is other-than-temporary is based on (i) whether and when an equity method investment will recover in value and (ii) whether the investor has the intent and ability to hold that investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the value. The determination of whether the impairment is considered other-than-temporary is based on all of the following indicators, regardless of the time and extent of impairment:
cause of the impairment and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer;
intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value; and
length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the carrying value.
  
The sections below describe the Company’s process for identifying credit-related impairments in its security types with the most significant unrealized losses as of March 31, 2014.

Mortgage-backed securities
For U.S. mortgage-backed securities (and in particular for Alt-A and other mortgage-backed securities that have significant unrealized losses as a percentage of amortized cost), credit impairment is assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgages, using the security-specific collateral and transaction structure. The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans and distributes those cash flows to various tranches of securities, considering the transaction structure and any subordination and credit enhancements that exist in that structure. The cash flow model incorporates actual cash flows on the mortgage-backed securities through the current period and then projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including default rates, prepayment rates, recovery rates (on foreclosed properties) and loss severity rates (on non-agency mortgage-backed securities).
Management develops specific assumptions using as much market data as possible and includes internal estimates, as well as estimates published by rating agencies and other third-party sources. Default rates are projected by considering current underlying mortgage loan performance, generally assuming the default of (i) 10% of current loans, (ii) 25% of 30-59 day delinquent loans, (iii) 70% of 60-90 day delinquent loans and (iv) 100% of 91+ day delinquent loans. These


134



estimates are extrapolated along a default timing curve to estimate the total lifetime pool default rate. Other assumptions contemplate the actual collateral attributes, including geographic concentrations, rating actions and current market prices.
Cash flow projections are developed using different stress test scenarios. Management evaluates the results of those stress tests (including the severity of any cash shortfall indicated and the likelihood of the stress scenarios actually occurring based on the underlying pool’s characteristics and performance) to assess whether management expects to recover the amortized cost basis of the security. If cash flow projections indicate that the Company does not expect to recover its amortized cost basis, the Company recognizes the estimated credit loss in earnings.

 
State and municipal securities
The process for identifying credit impairments in Citigroup’s AFS state and municipal bonds is primarily based on a credit analysis that incorporates third-party credit ratings.  Citigroup monitors the bond issuers and any insurers providing default protection in the form of financial guarantee insurance.  The average external credit rating, ignoring any insurance, is Aa3/AA-.  In the event of an external rating downgrade or other indicator of credit impairment (i.e., based on instrument-specific estimates of cash flows or probability of issuer default), the subject bond is specifically reviewed for adverse changes in the amount or timing of expected contractual principal and interest.
For AFS state and municipal bonds with unrealized losses that Citigroup plans to sell, would likely be required to sell or will be subject to an issuer call deemed probable of exercise prior to the expected recovery of its amortized cost basis, the
full impairment is recognized in earnings.

Investments in Alternative Investment Funds That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share
The Company holds investments in certain alternative investment funds that calculate net asset value (NAV) per share, including hedge funds, private equity funds, funds of funds and real estate funds. The Company’s investments include co-investments in funds that are managed by the Company and investments in funds that are managed by third
 
parties. Investments in funds are generally classified as non-marketable equity securities carried at fair value. The fair values of these investments are estimated using the NAV per share of the Company’s ownership interest in the funds, where it is not probable that the Company will sell an investment at a
price other than the NAV.

(1)
Private equity funds include funds that invest in infrastructure, leveraged buyout transactions, emerging markets and venture capital.
(2)
With respect to the Company’s investments in private equity funds and real estate funds, distributions from each fund will be received as the underlying assets held by these funds are liquidated. It is estimated that the underlying assets of these funds will be liquidated over a period of several years as market conditions allow. Private equity and real estate funds do not allow redemption of investments by their investors. Investors are permitted to sell or transfer their investments, subject to the approval of the general partner or investment manager of these funds, which generally may not be unreasonably withheld.
(3)
Includes several real estate funds that invest primarily in commercial real estate in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
(4)
Included in the total fair value of investments above are $1.1 billion and $1.6 billion of fund assets that are valued using NAVs provided by third-party asset managers as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
(5)
Excluded from the total fair value of investments above are $64 million of fund assets that are considered probable to be sold at a price other than the NAV. Therefore, the fair values of these investments have been estimated using recent transaction information rather than the NAV per share as of March 31, 2014.

Loans secured primarily by real estate.

Citigroup has established a risk management process to monitor, evaluate and manage the principal risks associated with its Consumer loan portfolio. Credit quality indicators that are actively monitored include delinquency status, consumer credit scores (FICO), and loan to value (LTV) ratios, each as discussed in more detail below.
Included in the loan table above are lending products whose terms may give rise to greater credit issues. Credit cards with below-market introductory interest rates and interest-only loans are examples of such products. These products are closely managed using credit techniques that are intended to mitigate their higher inherent risk.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company sold and/or reclassified to held-for-sale $0.4 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively, of Consumer loans. The Company did not have significant purchases of Consumer loans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Delinquency Status
Delinquency status is monitored and considered a key indicator of credit quality of Consumer loans. Substantially all of the U.S. residential first mortgage loans use the Mortgage Banking Association (MBA) method of reporting delinquencies, which considers a loan delinquent if a monthly payment has not been received by the end of the day immediately preceding the loan’s next due date. All other loans use the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) method of reporting delinquencies, which considers a loan delinquent if a monthly payment has not been received by the close of business on the loan’s next due date.
As a general policy, residential first mortgages, home equity loans and installment loans are classified as non-accrual when loan payments are 90 days contractually past due. Credit cards and unsecured revolving loans generally accrue interest until payments are 180 days past due. Home equity loans in regulated bank entities are classified as non-accrual if the related residential first mortgage is 90 days or more past due. Mortgage loans in regulated bank entities discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy, other than FHA-insured loans, are classified as non-accrual. Commercial market loans are placed on a cash (non-accrual) basis when it is determined, based on actual experience and a forward-looking assessment of the collectability of the loan in full, that the payment of interest or principal is doubtful or when interest or principal is 90 days past due.
The policy for re-aging modified U.S. Consumer loans to current status varies by product. Generally, one of the conditions to qualify for these modifications is that a minimum number of payments (typically ranging from one to three) be made. Upon modification, the loan is re-aged to current status. However, re-aging practices for certain open-ended Consumer loans, such as credit cards, are governed by Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) guidelines. For open-ended Consumer loans subject to FFIEC guidelines, one of the conditions for the loan to be re-aged to current status is that at least three consecutive minimum monthly payments, or the equivalent amount, must be received. In addition, under FFIEC guidelines, the number of times that such a loan can be re-aged is subject to limitations (generally once in 12 months and twice in five years). Furthermore, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loans are modified under those respective agencies’ guidelines and payments are not always required in order to re-age a modified loan to current.







The following tables provide details on Citigroup’s Consumer loan delinquency and non-accrual loans as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Consumer Credit Scores (FICO)
In the U.S., independent credit agencies rate an individual’s risk for assuming debt based on the individual’s credit history and assign every consumer a “FICO” credit score. These scores are continually updated by the agencies based upon an individual’s credit actions (e.g., taking out a loan or missed or late payments).
The following table provides details on the FICO scores attributable to Citi’s U.S. Consumer loan portfolio as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (commercial market loans are not included in the table since they are business-based and FICO scores are not a primary driver in their credit evaluation). FICO scores are updated monthly for substantially all of the portfolio or, otherwise, on a quarterly basis.

Loan to Value (LTV) Ratios
LTV ratios (loan balance divided by appraised value) are calculated at origination and updated by applying market price data.
The following tables provide details on the LTV ratios attributable to Citi’s U.S. Consumer mortgage portfolios as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. LTV ratios are updated monthly using the most recent Core Logic HPI data available for substantially all of the portfolio applied at the Metropolitan Statistical Area level, if available, or the state level if not. The remainder of the portfolio is updated in a similar manner using the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight indices.

Impaired Consumer Loans
Impaired loans are those loans that Citigroup believes it is probable all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the loan will not be collected. Impaired Consumer loans include non-accrual commercial market loans, as well as smaller-balance homogeneous loans whose terms have been modified due to the borrower’s financial difficulties and where Citigroup has granted a concession to the borrower. These modifications may include interest rate reductions and/or principal forgiveness. Impaired Consumer loans exclude smaller-balance homogeneous loans that have not been modified and are carried on a non-accrual basis. In addition, impaired Consumer loans exclude substantially all loans modified pursuant to Citi’s short-term modification programs (i.e., for periods of 12 months or less) that were modified prior to January 1, 2011.
As a result of OCC guidance issued in the third quarter of 2012, mortgage loans to borrowers that have gone through Chapter 7 bankruptcy are classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). These TDRs, other than FHA-insured loans, are written down to collateral value less cost to sell. FHA-insured loans are reserved based on a discounted cash flow model (see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Citi’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K).
The following tables present information about total impaired Consumer loans at and for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 for interest income recognized on impaired Consumer loans:

(6) Cash interest receipts on smaller-balance homogeneous loans are generally recorded as revenue. The interest recognition policy for commercial market loans is identical to that for Corporate loans, as described below.
(7) Prior to 2008, the Company’s financial accounting systems did not separately track impaired smaller-balance, homogeneous Consumer loans whose terms were modified due to the borrowers’ financial difficulties and where it was determined that a concession was granted to the borrower. Smaller-balance Consumer loans modified since January 1, 2008 amounted to $23.0 billion at March 31, 2014. However, information derived from Citi’s risk management systems indicates that the amounts of outstanding modified loans, including those modified prior to 2008, approximated $23.7 billion at March 31, 2014.

Loans secured primarily by real estate.
 
The Company sold and/or reclassified (to held-for-sale) $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion of Corporate loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company did not have significant purchases of Corporate loans classified as held-for-investment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.
Corporate loans are identified as impaired and placed on a cash (non-accrual) basis when it is determined, based on actual experience and a forward-looking assessment of the collectability of the loan in full, that the payment of interest or principal is doubtful or when interest or principal is 90 days past due, except when the loan is well collateralized and in the process of collection. Any interest accrued on impaired Corporate loans and leases is reversed at 90 days and charged against current earnings, and interest is thereafter included in earnings only to the extent actually received in cash. When there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectability of principal, all cash receipts are thereafter applied to reduce the recorded investment in the loan. While Corporate loans are generally managed based on their internally assigned risk rating (see further discussion below), the following tables present delinquency information by Corporate loan type as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Citigroup has a risk management process to monitor, evaluate and manage the principal risks associated with its Corporate loan portfolio. As part of its risk management process, Citi assigns numeric risk ratings to its Corporate loan facilities based on quantitative and qualitative assessments of the obligor and facility. These risk ratings are reviewed at least annually or more often if material events related to the obligor or facility warrant. Factors considered in assigning the risk ratings include: financial condition of the obligor, qualitative assessment of management and strategy, amount and sources of repayment, amount and type of collateral and guarantee arrangements, amount and type of any contingencies associated with the obligor, and the obligor’s industry and geography.
The obligor risk ratings are defined by ranges of default probabilities. The facility risk ratings are defined by ranges of loss norms, which are the product of the probability of default and the loss given default. The investment grade rating categories are similar to the category BBB-/Baa3 and above as defined by S&P and Moody’s. Loans classified according to the bank regulatory definitions as special mention, substandard and doubtful will have risk ratings within the non-investment grade categories.

Held-for-investment loans are accounted for on an amortized cost basis.
 
Corporate loans and leases identified as impaired and placed on non-accrual status are written down to the extent that principal is judged to be uncollectible. Impaired collateral-dependent loans and leases, where repayment is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the underlying collateral and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment, are written down to the lower of cost or collateral value, less cost to sell. Cash-basis loans are returned to an accrual status when all contractual principal and interest amounts are reasonably assured of repayment and there is a sustained period of repayment performance, generally six months, in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.

During the first quarter of 2014, no goodwill was written off due to impairment. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2013 resulting in no impairment for any of the reporting units. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually at the reporting unit level and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, effective January 1, 2014, the businesses within the legacy ICG reporting units, Securities & Banking and Transaction Services, were realigned and aggregated within two new ICG reporting units—Banking and Markets and Securities Services (Markets). The ICG reorganization was identified as a triggering event for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. Consistent with the requirements of ASC 350, goodwill has been assessed for impairment as of January 1, 2014. The total goodwill associated with the legacy reporting units was allocated among the component businesses based on their relative fair values, and these allocated goodwill amounts were then re-aggregated based on the new classification within either Banking or Markets reporting units. The fair values of the legacy and new ICG reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values, resulting in no impairment of goodwill. Subsequent to January 1, 2014, goodwill will be allocated to disposals and tested for impairment under Banking and Markets.
There were no other triggering events during the first quarter of 2014 and therefore no additional goodwill impairment test was performed. The fair values of the Company’s reporting units as of July 1, 2013 and January 1, 2014 in the case of ICG reporting units, substantially exceeded their carrying values and did not indicate a risk of impairment based on current valuations.

Citigroup owns all of the voting securities of the Safety First Trusts. The Safety First Trusts have no assets, operations, revenues or cash flows other than those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of the Safety First Trust securities and the Safety First Trusts’ common securities.

Long-term debt outstanding includes trust preferred securities with a balance sheet carrying value of $3.9 billion at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In issuing these trust preferred securities, Citi formed statutory business trusts under the laws of the State of Delaware. The trusts exist for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing trust preferred securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the trust; (ii) investing the gross proceeds of the trust preferred securities in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (subordinated debentures) of its parent; and (iii) engaging in only those activities necessary or incidental thereto. Generally, upon receipt of certain regulatory approvals, Citigroup has the right to redeem these securities upon the date specified in the respective security. The respective common securities issued by each trust and held by Citigroup are redeemed concurrently with the redemption of the applicable trust preferred securities.

20. SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
 
Uses of Special Purpose Entities
A special purpose entity (SPE) is an entity designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it. The principal uses of SPEs are to obtain liquidity and favorable capital treatment by securitizing certain of Citigroup’s financial assets, to assist clients in securitizing their financial assets, and to create investment products for clients. SPEs may be organized in various legal forms, including trusts, partnerships or corporations. In a securitization, the company transferring assets to an SPE converts all (or a portion) of those assets into cash before they would have been realized in the normal course of business through the SPE’s issuance of debt and equity instruments, certificates, commercial paper and other notes of indebtedness. These issuances are recorded on the balance sheet of the SPE, which may or may not be consolidated onto the balance sheet of the company that organized the SPE.
Investors usually have recourse only to the assets in the SPE and often benefit from other credit enhancements, such as a collateral account or over-collateralization in the form of excess assets in the SPE, a line of credit, or a liquidity facility, such as a liquidity put option or asset purchase agreement. Because of these enhancements, the SPE issuances can typically obtain a more favorable credit rating from rating agencies than the transferor could obtain for its own debt issuances. This results in less expensive financing costs than unsecured debt. The SPE may also enter into derivative contracts in order to convert the yield or currency of the underlying assets to match the needs of the SPE investors or to limit or change the credit risk of the SPE. Citigroup may be the provider of certain credit enhancements as well as the counterparty to any related derivative contracts.
Most of Citigroup’s SPEs are variable interest entities (VIEs), as described below.
 
 
Variable Interest Entities
VIEs are entities that have either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest (i.e., ability to make significant decisions through voting rights and a right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or an obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity). Investors that finance the VIE through debt or equity interests or other counterparties providing other forms of support, such as guarantees, subordinated fee arrangements or certain types of derivative contracts are variable interest holders in the entity.
The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Citigroup would be deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary if it has both of the following characteristics:

power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and
an obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE, or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company must evaluate its involvement in each VIE to understand the purpose and design of the entity, the role the Company had in the entity’s design and its involvement in the VIE’s ongoing activities. The Company then must evaluate which activities most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and who has the power to direct such activities.
For those VIEs where the Company determines that it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, the Company then must evaluate its economic interests, if any, and determine whether it could absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. When evaluating whether the Company has an obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant, it considers the maximum exposure to such loss without consideration of probability. Such obligations could be in various forms, including, but not limited to, debt and equity investments, guarantees, liquidity agreements and certain derivative contracts.
In various other transactions, the Company may: (i) act as a derivative counterparty (for example, interest rate swap, cross-currency swap, or purchaser of credit protection under a credit default swap or total return swap where the Company pays the total return on certain assets to the SPE); (ii) act as underwriter or placement agent; (iii) provide administrative, trustee or other services; or (iv) make a market in debt securities or other instruments issued by VIEs. The Company generally considers such involvement, by itself, not to be variable interests and thus not an indicator of power or potentially significant benefits or losses.

The previous tables do not include:

certain venture capital investments made by some of the Company’s private equity subsidiaries, as the Company accounts for these investments in accordance with the Investment Company Audit Guide (codified in ASC 946);
certain limited partnerships that are investment funds that qualify for the deferral from the requirements of ASC 810 where the Company is the general partner and the limited partners have the right to replace the general partner or liquidate the funds;
certain investment funds for which the Company provides investment management services and personal estate trusts for which the Company provides administrative, trustee and/or investment management services;
VIEs structured by third parties where the Company holds securities in inventory, as these investments are made on arm’s-length terms;
certain positions in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities held by the Company, which are classified as Trading account assets or Investments, where the Company has no other involvement with the related securitization entity deemed to be significant (for more information on these positions, see Notes 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements);
certain representations and warranties exposures in legacy Securities and Banking-sponsored mortgage-backed and asset-backed securitizations, where the Company has no variable interest or continuing involvement as servicer. The outstanding balance of mortgage loans securitized during 2005 to 2008 where the Company has no variable interest or continuing involvement as servicer was approximately $15 billion and $16 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively; and
certain representations and warranties exposures in Citigroup residential mortgage securitizations, where the original mortgage loan balances are no longer outstanding.
 

The asset balances for consolidated VIEs represent the carrying amounts of the assets consolidated by the Company. The carrying amount may represent the amortized cost or the current fair value of the assets depending on the legal form of the asset (e.g., security or loan) and the Company’s standard accounting policies for the asset type and line of business.
The asset balances for unconsolidated VIEs where the Company has significant involvement represent the most current information available to the Company. In most cases, the asset balances represent an amortized cost basis without regard to impairments in fair value, unless fair value information is readily available to the Company. For VIEs that obtain asset exposures synthetically through derivative instruments (for example, synthetic CDOs), the tables generally include the full original notional amount of the derivative as an asset balance.
The maximum funded exposure represents the balance sheet carrying amount of the Company’s investment in the VIE. It reflects the initial amount of cash invested in the VIE adjusted for any accrued interest and cash principal payments received. The carrying amount may also be adjusted for increases or declines in fair value or any impairment in value recognized in earnings. The maximum exposure of unfunded positions represents the remaining undrawn committed amount, including liquidity and credit facilities provided by the Company, or the notional amount of a derivative instrument considered to be a variable interest. In certain transactions, the Company has entered into derivative instruments or other arrangements that are not considered variable interests in the VIE (e.g., interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, or where the Company is the purchaser of credit protection under a credit default swap or total return swap where the Company pays the total return on certain assets to the SPE). Receivables under such arrangements are not included in the maximum exposure amounts.

Citicorp and Citi Holdings Consolidated VIEs
The Company engages in on-balance-sheet securitizations, which are securitizations that do not qualify for sales treatment; thus, the assets remain on the Company’s balance sheet, and any proceeds received are recognized as secured liabilities. The consolidated VIEs included in the tables below represent hundreds of separate entities with which the Company is involved. In general, the third-party investors in the obligations of consolidated VIEs have legal recourse only to the assets of the respective VIEs and do not have such recourse to the Company, except where the Company has provided a guarantee to the investors or is the counterparty to certain derivative transactions involving the VIE.

 
    
Thus, the Company’s maximum legal exposure to loss related to consolidated VIEs is significantly less than the carrying value of the consolidated VIE assets due to outstanding third-party financing. Intercompany assets and liabilities are excluded from the table. All VIE assets are restricted from being sold or pledged as collateral. The cash flows from these assets are the only source used to pay down the associated liabilities, which are non-recourse to the Company’s general assets.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and classifications of consolidated assets that are collateral for consolidated VIE obligations as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Credit Card Securitizations
The Company securitizes credit card receivables through trusts established to purchase the receivables. Citigroup transfers receivables into the trusts on a non-recourse basis. Credit card securitizations are revolving securitizations; as customers pay their credit card balances, the cash proceeds are used to purchase new receivables and replenish the receivables in the trust.
Substantially all of the Company’s credit card securitization activity is through two trusts—Citibank Credit Card Master Trust (Master Trust) and the Citibank Omni Master Trust (Omni Trust), with the substantial majority through the Master Trust. These trusts are consolidated entities because, as servicer, Citigroup has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic
 

performance of the trusts, Citigroup holds a seller’s interest and certain securities issued by the trusts, and also provides liquidity facilities to the trusts, which could result in potentially significant losses or benefits from the trusts. Accordingly, the transferred credit card receivables remain on Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet with no gain or loss recognized. The debt issued by the trusts to third parties is included in Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company utilizes securitizations as one of the sources of funding for its business in North America. The following table reflects amounts related to the Company’s securitized credit card receivables as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Managed Loans
After securitization of credit card receivables, the Company continues to maintain credit card customer account relationships and provides servicing for receivables transferred to the trusts. As a result, the Company considers the securitized credit card receivables to be part of the business it manages. As Citigroup consolidates the credit card trusts, all managed securitized card receivables are on-balance sheet.

Funding, Liquidity Facilities and Subordinated Interests
As noted above, Citigroup securitizes credit card receivables through two securitization trusts—Master Trust, which is part of Citicorp, and Omni Trust, which is also substantially part of Citicorp. The liabilities of the trusts are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, excluding those retained by Citigroup.
Master Trust issues fixed- and floating-rate term notes. Some of the term notes are issued to multi-seller commercial paper conduits. The weighted average maturity of the term notes issued by the Master Trust was 3.1 years as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Mortgage Securitizations
The Company provides a wide range of mortgage loan products to a diverse customer base. Once originated, the Company often securitizes these loans through the use of VIEs. These VIEs are funded through the issuance of trust certificates backed solely by the transferred assets. These certificates have the same life as the transferred assets. In addition to providing a source of liquidity and less expensive funding, securitizing these assets also reduces the Company’s credit exposure to the borrowers. These mortgage loan securitizations are primarily non-recourse, thereby effectively transferring the risk of future credit losses to the purchasers of the securities issued by the trust. However, the Company’s Consumer business generally retains the servicing rights and in certain instances retains investment securities, interest-only strips and residual interests in future cash flows from the trusts and also provides servicing for a limited number of ICG securitizations. ICG and Citi Holdings do not retain servicing for their mortgage securitizations.
The Company securitizes mortgage loans generally through either a government-sponsored agency, such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (U.S. agency-sponsored mortgages), or private-label (non-agency-sponsored mortgages) securitization. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of its U.S. agency-sponsored mortgage securitizations because Citigroup does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. Therefore, Citi does not consolidate these U.S. agency-sponsored mortgage securitizations.
The Company does not consolidate certain non-agency-sponsored mortgage securitizations, because Citi is either not the servicer with the power to direct the significant activities of the entity or Citi is the servicer but the servicing relationship is deemed to be a fiduciary relationship and, therefore, Citi is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity.
In certain instances, the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities and (ii) the obligation to either absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to its non-agency-sponsored mortgage securitizations and, therefore, is the primary beneficiary and thus consolidates the VIE.

The interests retained by the Company range from highly rated and/or senior in the capital structure to unrated and/or residual interests.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the key assumptions used to value retained interests, and the sensitivity of the fair value to adverse changes of 10% and 20% in each of the key assumptions, are set forth in the tables
 
below. The negative effect of each change is calculated independently, holding all other assumptions constant. Because the key assumptions may not be independent, the net effect of simultaneous adverse changes in the key assumptions may be less than the sum of the individual effects shown below.

Gains recognized on the securitization of U.S. agency-sponsored mortgages were $8 million and $3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company did not securitize non-agency-sponsored mortgages for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
Similar to Citicorp mortgage securitizations discussed above, the range in the key assumptions is due to the different characteristics of the interests retained by the Company. The interests retained range from highly rated and/or senior in the capital structure to unrated and/or residual interests.
 

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the key assumptions used to value retained interests, and the sensitivity of the fair value to adverse changes of 10% and 20% in each of the key assumptions, are set forth in the tables below.

Mortgage Servicing Rights
In connection with the securitization of mortgage loans, the Company’s U.S. Consumer mortgage business generally retains the servicing rights, which entitle the Company to a future stream of cash flows based on the outstanding principal balances of the loans and the contractual servicing fee. Failure to service the loans in accordance with contractual requirements may lead to a termination of the servicing rights and the loss of future servicing fees.
The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) was $2.6 billion and $2.2 billion at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The MSRs correspond to principal loan balances of $273 billion and $311 billion as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following table summarizes the changes in capitalized MSRs for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

The fair value of the MSRs is primarily affected by changes in prepayments of mortgages that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. In managing this risk, the Company economically hedges a significant portion of the value of its MSRs through the use of interest rate derivative contracts, forward purchase and sale commitments of mortgage-backed securities and purchased securities classified as Trading account assets.
The Company receives fees during the course of servicing previously securitized mortgages. The amounts of these fees for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Re-securitizations
The Company engages in re-securitization transactions in which debt securities are transferred to a VIE in exchange for new beneficial interests. During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Citi transferred non-agency (private-label) securities with an original par value of approximately $138 million and $244 million, respectively, to re-securitization entities. These securities are backed by either residential or commercial mortgages and are often structured on behalf of clients.
As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of Citi-retained interests in private-label re-securitization transactions structured by Citi totaled approximately $405 million (including $25 million related to re-securitization transactions executed in 2014), and has been recorded in Trading account assets. Of this amount, approximately $49 million was related to senior beneficial interests, and approximately $356 million was related to subordinated beneficial interests. As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of Citi-retained interests in private-label re-securitization transactions structured by Citi totaled approximately $425 million (including $131 million related to re-securitization transactions executed in 2013). Of this amount, approximately $58 million was related to senior beneficial interests, and approximately $367 million was related to subordinated beneficial interests. The original par value of private-label re-securitization transactions in which Citi holds a retained interest as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $5.3 billion and $6.1 billion, respectively.
The Company also re-securitizes U.S. government-agency guaranteed mortgage-backed (agency) securities. During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Citi transferred agency securities with a fair value of approximately $6.4 billion and $7.4 billion, respectively, to re-securitization entities.
As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of Citi-retained interests in agency re-securitization transactions structured by Citi totaled approximately $1.5 billion (including $840 million related to re-securitization transactions executed in 2014) compared to $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2013 (including $1.0 billion related to re-securitization transactions executed in 2013), which is recorded in Trading account assets. The original fair value of agency re-securitization transactions in which Citi holds a retained interest as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $75.4 billion and $75.5 billion, respectively.
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not consolidate any private-label or agency re-securitization entities.

Citi-Administered Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Conduits
The Company is active in the asset-backed commercial paper conduit business as administrator of several multi-seller commercial paper conduits and also as a service provider to single-seller and other commercial paper conduits sponsored by third parties.
Citi’s multi-seller commercial paper conduits are designed to provide the Company’s clients access to low-cost funding in the commercial paper markets. The conduits purchase assets from or provide financing facilities to clients and are funded by issuing commercial paper to third-party investors. The conduits generally do not purchase assets originated by the Company. The funding of the conduits is facilitated by the liquidity support and credit enhancements provided by the Company.
As administrator to Citi’s conduits, the Company is generally responsible for selecting and structuring assets purchased or financed by the conduits, making decisions regarding the funding of the conduits, including determining the tenor and other features of the commercial paper issued, monitoring the quality and performance of the conduits’ assets, and facilitating the operations and cash flows of the conduits. In return, the Company earns structuring fees from customers for individual transactions and earns an administration fee from the conduit, which is equal to the income from the client program and liquidity fees of the conduit after payment of conduit expenses. This administration fee is fairly stable, since most risks and rewards of the underlying assets are passed back to the clients. Once the asset pricing is negotiated, most ongoing income, costs and fees are relatively stable as a percentage of the conduit’s size.
The conduits administered by the Company do not generally invest in liquid securities that are formally rated by third parties. The assets are privately negotiated and structured transactions that are generally designed to be held by the conduit, rather than actively traded and sold. The yield earned by the conduit on each asset is generally tied to the rate on the commercial paper issued by the conduit, thus passing interest rate risk to the client. Each asset purchased by the conduit is structured with transaction-specific credit enhancement features provided by the third-party client seller, including over collateralization, cash and excess spread collateral accounts, direct recourse or third-party guarantees. These credit enhancements are sized with the objective of approximating a credit rating of A or above, based on the Company’s internal risk ratings. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the conduits had approximately $32 billion and $32 billion of purchased assets outstanding, respectively, and had incremental funding commitments with clients of approximately $14 billion and $13.5 billion, respectively.
Substantially all of the funding of the conduits is in the form of short-term commercial paper. At the respective periods ended March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the weighted average remaining lives of the commercial paper issued by the conduits were approximately 67 days for both periods.
The primary credit enhancement provided to the conduit investors is in the form of transaction-specific credit enhancements described above. One conduit holds only loans
 
that are fully guaranteed primarily by AAA-rated government agencies that support export and development financing programs. In addition to the transaction-specific credit enhancements, the conduits, other than the government guaranteed loan conduit, have obtained a letter of credit from the Company, which is equal to at least 8 to 10% of the conduit’s assets with a minimum of $200 million. The letters of credit provided by the Company to the conduits total approximately $2.4 billion and $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The net result across multi-seller conduits administered by the Company, other than the government guaranteed loan conduit, is that, in the event defaulted assets exceed the transaction-specific credit enhancements described above, any losses in each conduit are allocated first to the Company and then the commercial paper investors.
The Company also provides the conduits with two forms of liquidity agreements that are used to provide funding to the conduits in the event of a market disruption, among other events. Each asset of the conduits is supported by a transaction-specific liquidity facility in the form of an asset purchase agreement (APA). Under the APA, the Company has generally agreed to purchase non-defaulted eligible receivables from the conduit at par. The APA is not generally designed to provide credit support to the conduit, as it generally does not permit the purchase of defaulted or impaired assets. Any funding under the APA will likely subject the underlying conduit clients to increased interest costs. In addition, the Company provides the conduits with program-wide liquidity in the form of short-term lending commitments. Under these commitments, the Company has agreed to lend to the conduits in the event of a short-term disruption in the commercial paper market, subject to specified conditions. The Company receives fees for providing both types of liquidity agreements and considers these fees to be on fair market terms.
Finally, the Company is one of several named dealers in the commercial paper issued by the conduits and earns a market-based fee for providing such services. Along with third-party dealers, the Company makes a market in the commercial paper and may from time to time fund commercial paper pending sale to a third party. On specific dates with less liquidity in the market, the Company may hold in inventory commercial paper issued by conduits administered by the Company, as well as conduits administered by third parties. The amount of commercial paper issued by its administered conduits held in inventory fluctuates based on market conditions and activity. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company owned $14.6 billion and $13.9 billion, respectively, of the commercial paper issued by its administered conduits.
The asset-backed commercial paper conduits are consolidated by the Company. The Company determined that, through its roles as administrator and liquidity provider, it had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted the entities’ economic performance. These powers included its ability to structure and approve the assets purchased by the conduits, its ongoing surveillance and credit mitigation activities, its ability to sell or repurchase assets out of the conduits, and its liability management. In addition, as a


165



result of all the Company’s involvement described above, it was concluded that the Company had an economic interest that could potentially be significant. However, the assets and
liabilities of the conduits are separate and apart from those of Citigroup. No assets of any conduit are available to satisfy the creditors of Citigroup or any of its other subsidiaries.
During the second quarter of 2013, Citi consolidated the government guaranteed loan conduit it administers that was previously not consolidated due to changes in the primary risks and design of the conduit that were identified as a reconsideration event. Citi, as the administrator and liquidity provider, previously determined it had an economic interest that could potentially be significant. Upon the reconsideration event, it was determined that Citi had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted the conduit’s economic performance. The impact of the consolidation resulted in an increase of assets and liabilities of approximately $7 billion each and a net pretax gain to the Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $40 million.
 
Collateralized Debt and Loan Obligations
A securitized collateralized debt obligation (CDO) is a VIE that purchases a pool of assets consisting of asset-backed securities and synthetic exposures through derivatives on asset-backed securities and issues multiple tranches of equity and notes to investors.
A cash CDO, or arbitrage CDO, is a CDO designed to take advantage of the difference between the yield on a portfolio of selected assets, typically residential mortgage-backed securities, and the cost of funding the CDO through the sale of notes to investors. “Cash flow” CDOs are entities in which the CDO passes on cash flows from a pool of assets, while “market value” CDOs pay to investors the market value of the pool of assets owned by the CDO at maturity. In these transactions, all of the equity and notes issued by the CDO are funded, as the cash is needed to purchase the debt securities.
A synthetic CDO is similar to a cash CDO, except that the CDO obtains exposure to all or a portion of the referenced assets synthetically through derivative instruments, such as credit default swaps. Because the CDO does not need to raise cash sufficient to purchase the entire referenced portfolio, a substantial portion of the senior tranches of risk is typically passed on to CDO investors in the form of unfunded liabilities or derivative instruments. The CDO writes credit protection on select referenced debt securities to the Company or third parties. Risk is then passed on to the CDO investors in the form of funded notes or purchased credit protection through derivative instruments. Any cash raised from investors is invested in a portfolio of collateral securities or investment contracts. The collateral is then used to support the obligations of the CDO on the credit default swaps written to counterparties.
A securitized collateralized loan obligation (CLO) is substantially similar to the CDO transactions described above, except that the assets owned by the VIE (either cash instruments or synthetic exposures through derivative instruments) are corporate loans and to a lesser extent corporate bonds, rather than asset-backed debt securities.
 
A third-party asset manager is typically retained by the CDO/CLO to select the pool of assets and manage those assets over the term of the VIE. The Company is the manager for a limited number of CLO transactions over the term of the VIE.
The Company earns fees for warehousing assets prior to the creation of a “cash flow” or “market value” CDO/CLO, structuring CDOs/CLOs and placing debt securities with investors. In addition, the Company has retained interests in many of the CDOs/CLOs it has structured and makes a market in the issued notes.
The Company’s continuing involvement in synthetic
CDOs/CLOs generally includes purchasing credit protection through credit default swaps with the CDO/CLO, owning a portion of the capital structure of the CDO/CLO in the form of both unfunded derivative positions (primarily “super-senior” exposures discussed below) and funded notes, entering into interest-rate swap and total-return swap transactions with the CDO/CLO, lending to the CDO/CLO, and making a market in the funded notes.
Where a CDO/CLO entity issues preferred shares (or subordinated notes that are the equivalent form), the preferred shares generally represent an insufficient amount of equity (less than 10%) and create the presumption that preferred shares are insufficient to finance the entity’s activities without subordinated financial support. In addition, although the preferred shareholders generally have full exposure to expected losses on the collateral and uncapped potential to receive expected residual returns, they generally do not have the ability to make decisions significantly affecting the entity’s financial results because of their limited role in making day-to-day decisions and their limited ability to remove the asset manager. Because one or both of the above conditions will generally be met, the Company has concluded, even where a CDO/CLO entity issued preferred shares, the entity should be classified as a VIE.
In general, the asset manager, through its ability to purchase and sell assets or—where the reinvestment period of a CDO/CLO has expired—the ability to sell assets, will have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CDO/CLO. However, where a CDO/CLO has experienced an event of default or an optional redemption period has gone into effect, the activities of the asset manager may be curtailed and/or certain additional rights will generally be provided to the investors in a CDO/CLO entity, including the right to direct the liquidation of the CDO/CLO entity.
The Company has retained significant portions of the “super-senior” positions issued by certain CDOs. These positions are referred to as “super-senior” because they represent the most senior positions in the CDO and, at the time of structuring, were senior to tranches rated AAA by independent rating agencies.
The Company does not generally have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CDOs/CLOs, as this power is generally held by a third-party asset manager of the CDO/CLO. As such, those CDOs/CLOs are not consolidated. The Company may consolidate the CDO/CLO when: (i) the Company is the asset manager and no other single investor has the unilateral ability to remove the Company or unilaterally


166



cause the liquidation of the CDO/CLO, or the Company is not the asset manager but has a unilateral right to remove the third-party asset manager or unilaterally liquidate the CDO/CLO and receive the underlying assets, and (ii) the Company
has economic exposure to the entity that could be potentially significant to the entity.
The Company continues to monitor its involvement in unconsolidated CDOs/CLOs to assess future consolidation risk. For example, if the Company were to acquire additional interests in these entities and obtain the right, due to an event of default trigger being met, to unilaterally liquidate or direct the activities of a CDO/CLO, the Company may be required to consolidate the asset entity. For cash CDOs/CLOs, the net result of such consolidation would be to gross up the Company’s balance sheet by the current fair value of the securities held by third parties and assets held by the CDO/CLO, which amounts are not considered material. For synthetic CDOs/CLOs, the net result of such consolidation may reduce the Company’s balance sheet, because intercompany derivative receivables and payables would be eliminated in consolidation, and other assets held by the CDO/CLO and the securities held by third parties would be recognized at their current fair values.

Asset-Based Financing
The Company provides loans and other forms of financing to VIEs that hold assets. Those loans are subject to the same credit approvals as all other loans originated or purchased by the Company. Financings in the form of debt securities or derivatives are, in most circumstances, reported in Trading account assets and accounted for at fair value through earnings. The Company generally does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs’ economic performance and thus it does not consolidate them.

Municipal Securities Tender Option Bond (TOB) Trusts
TOB trusts hold fixed- and floating-rate, taxable and tax-exempt securities issued by state and local governments and municipalities. The trusts are typically single-issuer trusts whose assets are purchased from the Company or from other investors in the municipal securities market. The TOB trusts fund the purchase of their assets by issuing long-term, putable floating rate certificates (Floaters) and residual certificates (Residuals). The trusts are referred to as TOB trusts because the Floater holders have the ability to tender their interests periodically back to the issuing trust, as described further below. The Floaters and Residuals evidence beneficial ownership interests in, and are collateralized by, the underlying assets of the trust. The Floaters are held by third-party investors, typically tax-exempt money market funds. The Residuals are typically held by the original owner of the municipal securities being financed.
The Floaters and the Residuals have a tenor that is equal to or shorter than the tenor of the underlying municipal bonds. The Residuals entitle their holders to the residual cash flows from the issuing trust, the interest income generated by the underlying municipal securities net of interest paid on the Floaters, and trust expenses. The Residuals are rated based on the long-term rating of the underlying municipal bond. The Floaters bear variable interest rates that are reset periodically to a new market rate based on a spread to a high grade, short-term, tax-exempt index. The Floaters have a long-term rating based on the long-term rating of the underlying municipal bond and a short-term rating based on that of the liquidity provider to the trust.
There are two kinds of TOB trusts: customer TOB trusts and non-customer TOB trusts. Customer TOB trusts are trusts through which customers finance their investments in municipal securities. The Residuals are held by customers and the Floaters by third-party investors, typically tax-exempt money market funds. Non-customer TOB trusts are trusts through which the Company finances its own investments in municipal securities. In such trusts, the Company holds the Residuals, and third-party investors, typically tax-exempt money market funds, hold the Floaters.
The Company serves as remarketing agent to the trusts, placing the Floaters with third-party investors at inception, facilitating the periodic reset of the variable rate of interest on the Floaters, and remarketing any tendered Floaters. If Floaters are tendered and the Company (in its role as remarketing agent) is unable to find a new investor within a specified period of time, it can declare a failed remarketing, in which case the trust is unwound. The Company may, but is not obligated to, buy the Floaters into its own inventory. The level of the Company’s inventory of Floaters fluctuates over time. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held $93 million and $176 million, respectively, of Floaters related to both customer and non-customer TOB trusts.
For certain non-customer trusts, the Company also provides credit enhancement. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximately $226 million and $230 million, respectively, of the municipal bonds owned by TOB trusts have a credit guarantee provided by the Company.
The Company provides liquidity to many of the outstanding trusts. If a trust is unwound early due to an event
 
other than a credit event on the underlying municipal bond, the underlying municipal bonds are sold in the market. If there is a shortfall in the trust’s cash flows between the redemption price of the tendered Floaters and the proceeds from the sale of the
underlying municipal bonds, the trust draws on a liquidity agreement in an amount equal to the shortfall. For customer TOBs where the Residual is less than 25% of the trust’s capital structure, the Company has a reimbursement agreement with the Residual holder under which the Residual holder reimburses the Company for any payment made under the liquidity arrangement. Through this reimbursement agreement, the Residual holder remains economically exposed to fluctuations in value of the underlying municipal bonds. These reimbursement agreements are generally subject to daily margining based on changes in value of the underlying municipal bond. In cases where a third party provides liquidity to a non-customer TOB trust, a similar reimbursement arrangement is made whereby the Company (or a consolidated subsidiary of the Company) as Residual holder absorbs any losses incurred by the liquidity provider.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, liquidity agreements provided with respect to customer TOB trusts totaled $3.6 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, of which $2.6 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, were offset by reimbursement agreements. For the remaining exposure related to TOB transactions, where the Residual owned by the customer was at least 25% of the bond value at the inception of the transaction, no reimbursement agreement was executed. The Company also provides other liquidity agreements or letters of credit to customer-sponsored municipal investment funds, which are not variable interest entities, and municipality-related issuers that totaled $7.5 billion and $5.4 billion as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These liquidity agreements and letters of credit are offset by reimbursement agreements with various term-out provisions.
The Company considers the customer and non-customer TOB trusts to be VIEs. Customer TOB trusts are not consolidated by the Company. The Company has concluded that the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the customer TOB trusts is primarily held by the customer Residual holder, which may unilaterally cause the sale of the trust’s bonds.
Non-customer TOB trusts generally are consolidated. Similar to customer TOB trusts, the Company has concluded that the power over the non-customer TOB trusts is primarily held by the Residual holder, which may unilaterally cause the sale of the trust’s bonds. Because the Company holds the Residual interest, and thus has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the trust’s economic performance, it consolidates the non-customer TOB trusts.

Municipal Investments
Municipal investment transactions include debt and equity interests in partnerships that finance the construction and rehabilitation of low-income housing, facilitate lending in new or underserved markets, or finance the construction or operation of renewable municipal energy facilities. The Company generally invests in these partnerships as a limited partner and earns a return primarily through the receipt of tax credits and grants earned from the investments made by the partnership. The Company may also provide construction loans or permanent loans for the development or operations of real estate properties held by partnerships. These entities are generally considered VIEs. The power to direct the activities of these entities is typically held by the general partner. Accordingly, these entities are not consolidated by the Company.

Client Intermediation
Client intermediation transactions represent a range of transactions designed to provide investors with specified returns based on the returns of an underlying security, referenced asset or index. These transactions include credit-linked notes and equity-linked notes. In these transactions, the VIE typically obtains exposure to the underlying security, referenced asset or index through a derivative instrument, such as a total-return swap or a credit-default swap. In turn the VIE issues notes to investors that pay a return based on the specified underlying security, referenced asset or index. The VIE invests the proceeds in a financial asset or a guaranteed insurance contract that serves as collateral for the derivative contract over the term of the transaction. The Company’s involvement in these transactions includes being the counterparty to the VIE’s derivative instruments and investing in a portion of the notes issued by the VIE. In certain transactions, the investor’s maximum risk of loss is limited and the Company absorbs risk of loss above a specified level. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance and thus it does not consolidate them.
The Company’s maximum risk of loss in these transactions is defined as the amount invested in notes issued by the VIE and the notional amount of any risk of loss absorbed by the Company through a separate instrument issued by the VIE. The derivative instrument held by the Company may generate a receivable from the VIE (for example, where the Company purchases credit protection from the VIE in connection with the VIE’s issuance of a credit-linked note), which is collateralized by the assets owned by the VIE. These derivative instruments are not considered variable interests and any associated receivables are not included in the calculation of maximum exposure to the VIE.
The proceeds from new securitizations related to the Company’s client intermediation transactions for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $0.9 billion.

 
Investment Funds
The Company is the investment manager for certain investment funds and retirement funds that invest in various asset classes including private equity, hedge funds, real estate, fixed income and infrastructure. The Company earns a management fee, which is a percentage of capital under management, and may earn performance fees. In addition, for some of these funds the Company has an ownership interest in the investment funds. The Company has also established a number of investment funds as opportunities for qualified employees to invest in private equity investments. The Company acts as investment manager to these funds and may provide employees with financing on both recourse and non-recourse bases for a portion of the employees’ investment commitments.
The Company has determined that a majority of the investment entities managed by Citigroup are provided a deferral from the requirements of SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), because they meet the criteria in Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-10, Consolidation (Topic 810), Amendments for Certain Investment Funds (ASU 2010-10). These entities continue to be evaluated under the requirements of ASC 810-10, prior to the implementation of SFAS 167 (FIN 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities), which required that a VIE be consolidated by the party with a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses or residual returns, or both.

Trust Preferred Securities
The Company has previously raised financing through the issuance of trust preferred securities. In these transactions, the Company forms a statutory business trust and owns all of the voting equity shares of the trust. The trust issues preferred equity securities to third-party investors and invests the gross proceeds in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by the Company. The trusts have no assets, operations, revenues or cash flows other than those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of the preferred equity securities held by third-party investors. Obligations of the trusts are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.
Because the sole asset of each of the trusts is a receivable from the Company and the proceeds to the Company from the receivable exceed the Company’s investment in the VIE’s equity shares, the Company is not permitted to consolidate the trusts, even though it owns all of the voting equity shares of the trust, has fully guaranteed the trusts’ obligations, and has the right to redeem the preferred securities in certain circumstances. The Company recognizes the subordinated debentures on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as long-term liabilities. For additional information, see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

21.   DERIVATIVES ACTIVITIES
In the ordinary course of business, Citigroup enters into various types of derivative transactions. These derivative transactions include:
Futures and forward contracts, which are commitments to buy or sell at a future date a financial instrument, commodity or currency at a contracted price and may be settled in cash or through delivery.
Swap contracts, which are commitments to settle in cash at a future date or dates that may range from a few days to a number of years, based on differentials between specified financial indices, as applied to a notional principal amount.
Option contracts, which give the purchaser, for a premium, the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a specified time a financial instrument, commodity or currency at a contracted price that may also be settled in cash, based on differentials between specified indices or prices.

The swap and forward contracts are over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives that are bilaterally negotiated with counterparties and settled with those counterparties, except for swap contracts that are novated and "cleared" through central counterparties (CCPs). Futures and option contracts are generally standardized contracts that are traded on an exchange with a CCP as the counterparty from the inception of the transaction. Citigroup enters into these derivative contracts relating to interest rate, foreign currency, commodity and other market/credit risks for the following reasons:

Trading Purposes—Customer Needs: Citigroup offers its customers derivatives in connection with their risk-management actions to transfer, modify or reduce their interest rate, foreign exchange and other market/credit risks or for their own trading purposes. As part of this process, Citigroup considers the customers’ suitability for the risk involved and the business purpose for the transaction. Citigroup also manages its derivative risk positions through offsetting trade activities, controls focused on price verification, and daily reporting of positions to senior managers.
Trading Purposes—Citigroup trades derivatives as an active market maker. Trading limits and price verification controls are key aspects of this activity.
Hedging—Citigroup uses derivatives in connection with its risk-management activities to hedge certain risks or reposition the risk profile of the Company. For example, Citigroup issues fixed-rate long-term debt and then enters into a receive-fixed, pay-variable-rate interest rate swap with the same tenor and notional amount to convert the interest payments to a net variable-rate basis. This strategy is the most common form of an interest rate hedge, as it minimizes interest cost in certain yield curve environments. Derivatives are also used to manage risks inherent in specific groups of on-balance-sheet assets and liabilities, including AFS securities and borrowings, as well as other interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. In
 
addition, foreign-exchange contracts are used to hedge non-U.S.-dollar-denominated debt, foreign-currency-denominated AFS securities and net investment exposures.

Derivatives may expose Citigroup to market, credit or liquidity risks in excess of the amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Market risk on a derivative product is the exposure created by potential fluctuations in interest rates, foreign-exchange rates and other factors and is a function of the type of product, the volume of transactions, the tenor and terms of the agreement and the underlying volatility. Credit risk is the exposure to loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the transaction where the value of any collateral held is not adequate to cover such losses. The recognition in earnings of unrealized gains on these transactions is subject to management’s assessment as to collectability. Liquidity risk is the potential exposure that arises when the size of the derivative position may not be able to be rapidly adjusted at a reasonable cost in periods of high volatility and financial stress.
Derivative transactions are customarily documented under industry standard master agreements and credit support annexes, which provide that following an uncured payment default or other event of default the non-defaulting party may promptly terminate all transactions between the parties and determine a net amount due to be paid to, or by, the defaulting party. Events of default generally include: (i) failure to make a payment on a derivatives transaction (which remains uncured following applicable notice and grace periods), (ii) breach of a covenant (which remains uncured after applicable notice and grace periods), (iii) breach of a representation, (iv) cross default, either to third-party debt or to another derivatives transaction entered into among the parties, or, in some cases, their affiliates, (v) the occurrence of a merger or consolidation which results in a party becoming a materially weaker credit, and (vi) the cessation or repudiation of any applicable guarantee or other credit support document. An event of default may also occur under a credit support annex if a party fails to make a collateral delivery (which remains uncured following applicable notice and grace periods).
The enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in the master netting agreements for derivative transactions is evidenced to the extent that a supportive legal opinion has been obtained from counsel of recognized standing that provides the requisite level of certainty regarding the enforceability of these agreements and that the exercise of rights by the non-defaulting party to terminate and close-out transactions on a net basis under these agreements will not be stayed or avoided under applicable law upon an event of default including bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
A legal opinion may not have been sought or obtained for certain jurisdictions where local law is silent or sufficiently ambiguous to determine the enforceability of offsetting rights or where adverse case law or conflicting regulation may cast doubt on the enforceability of such rights. In some jurisdictions and for some counterparty types, the insolvency law for a particular counterparty type may be nonexistent or


171



unclear as overlapping regimes may exist. For example, this may be the case for certain sovereigns, municipalities, central banks and U.S. pension plans.
Exposure to credit risk on derivatives is impacted by market volatility, which may impair the ability of clients to satisfy their obligations to the Company. Credit limits are established and closely monitored for customers engaged in derivatives transactions. Citi considers the level of legal certainty regarding enforceability of its offsetting rights under master netting agreements and credit support annexes to be an important factor in its risk management process. For example, because derivatives executed under master netting agreements where Citi does not have the requisite level of legal certainty regarding enforceability, consume much greater amounts of single counterparty credit limits, than those executed under enforceable master netting agreements, Citi generally transacts
 
much lower volumes of derivatives under master netting agreements where Citi does not have the requisite level of legal certainty regarding enforceability.
Cash collateral and security collateral in the form of G10 government debt securities generally is posted to secure the net open exposure of derivative transactions, at a counterparty level, whereby the receiving party is free to commingle/rehypothecate such collateral in the ordinary course of its business. Nonstandard collateral such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. agency securities and/or MBS may also be pledged as collateral for derivative transactions. Security collateral posted to open and maintain a master netting agreement with a counterparty, in the form of cash and securities, may from time to time be segregated in an account at a third-party custodian pursuant to a tri-party Account Control Agreement.

(1)
The notional amounts presented in this table do not include hedge accounting relationships under ASC 815 where Citigroup is hedging the foreign currency risk of a net investment in a foreign operation by issuing a foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument. The notional amount of such debt was $5,593 million and $6,450 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
(2)
Derivatives in hedge accounting relationships accounted for under ASC 815 are recorded in either Other assets/Other liabilities or Trading account assets/Trading account liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3)
Management hedges represent derivative instruments used in certain economic hedging relationships that are identified for management purposes, but for which hedge accounting is not applied. These derivatives are recorded in either Other assets/Other liabilities or Trading account assets/Trading account liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(4)
Credit derivatives are arrangements designed to allow one party (protection buyer) to transfer the credit risk of a “reference asset” to another party (protection seller). These arrangements allow a protection seller to assume the credit risk associated with the reference asset without directly purchasing that asset. The Company has entered into credit derivative positions for purposes such as risk management, yield enhancement, reduction of credit concentrations and diversification of overall risk.

The following tables present the gross and net fair values of the Company’s derivative transactions, and the related offsetting amount permitted under ASC 210-20-45 and 815-10-45, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Under ASC 210-20-45, gross positive fair values are offset against gross negative fair values by counterparty pursuant to enforceable master netting agreements. Under ASC 815-10-45, payables and receivables in respect of cash collateral received from or paid to a given counterparty
 
pursuant to an enforceable credit support annex are included in the offsetting amount. GAAP does not permit offsetting for security collateral posted. The table also includes amounts that are not permitted to be offset under ASC 210-20-45 and 815-10-45, such as security collateral posted or cash collateral posted at third-party custodians, but would be eligible for offsetting to the extent an event of default occurred and a legal opinion supporting enforceability of the offsetting rights has been obtained.

Accounting for Derivative Hedging
Citigroup accounts for its hedging activities in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As a general rule, hedge accounting is permitted where the Company is exposed to a particular risk, such as interest-rate or foreign-exchange risk, that causes changes in the fair value of an asset or liability or variability in the expected future cash flows of an existing asset, liability or a forecasted transaction that may affect earnings.
Derivative contracts hedging the risks associated with the changes in fair value are referred to as fair value hedges, while contracts hedging the risks affecting expected future cash flows are called cash flow hedges. Hedges that utilize derivatives or debt instruments to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with equity investments in non-U.S.-dollar-functional-currency foreign subsidiaries (net investment in a foreign operation) are called net investment hedges.
If certain hedging criteria specified in ASC 815 are met, including testing for hedge effectiveness, special hedge accounting may be applied. The hedge effectiveness assessment methodologies for similar hedges are performed in a similar manner and are used consistently throughout the hedging relationships. For fair value hedges, changes in the value of the hedging derivative, as well as changes in the
 
value of the related hedged item due to the risk being hedged are reflected in current earnings. For cash flow hedges and net investment hedges, the changes in value of the hedging derivative are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Citigroup’s stockholders’ equity to the extent the hedge is effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, in either case, is reflected in current earnings.
For asset/liability management hedging, fixed-rate long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost under current GAAP. However, by designating an interest rate contract as a hedging instrument and electing to apply ASC 815 fair value hedge accounting, the carrying value of the debt is adjusted for changes in the benchmark interest rate, with such changes in value recorded in current earnings. The related interest-rate swap also is recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Thus, any ineffectiveness resulting from the hedging relationship is captured in current earnings. Alternatively, a management hedge, which does not meet the ASC 815 hedging criteria, would allow recording only the derivative at fair value on the balance sheet, with its associated changes in fair value recorded in earnings, while the debt would continue to be carried at amortized cost. Therefore, current earnings would be impacted only by the interest rate shifts and other factors that cause a change in the swap’s value. This type of hedge is undertaken when hedging requirements cannot be achieved or management decides not to apply ASC 815 hedge accounting. Another alternative for the Company is to elect to carry the debt at fair value under the fair value option. Once the irrevocable election is made upon issuance of the debt, the full change in fair value of the debt would be reported in earnings. The related interest rate swap, with changes in fair value, would also be reflected in earnings, and provides a natural offset to the debt’s fair value change. To the extent the two
offsets are not exactly equal because the full change in the fair value of the debt includes risks not offset by the interest rate swap, the difference is captured in current earnings.
Key aspects of achieving ASC 815 hedge accounting are documentation of hedging strategy and hedge relationships at the hedge inception and substantiating hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis. A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the hedge objective of offsetting either changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item for the risk being hedged. Any ineffectiveness in the hedge relationship is recognized in current earnings. The assessment of effectiveness excludes changes in the value of the hedged item that are unrelated to the risks being hedged. Similarly, the assessment of effectiveness may exclude changes in the fair value of a derivative related to time value that, if excluded, are recognized in current earnings.

Fair Value Hedges

Hedging of benchmark interest rate risk
Citigroup hedges exposure to changes in the fair value of outstanding fixed-rate issued debt and certificates of deposit. These types of hedges are designated as fair value hedges of the benchmark interest rate risk associated with the benchmark interest rate commensurate with the currency of the hedged liability. The fixed cash flows of the hedged item are converted to benchmark variable-rate cash flows by entering into receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps. These fair value hedge relationships use either regression or dollar-offset ratio analysis to determine whether the hedging relationships are highly effective at inception and on an ongoing basis.
Citigroup also hedges exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate assets, including available-for-sale debt securities and loans. The hedging instruments used are receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps. These fair value hedging relationships use either regression or dollar-offset ratio analysis to determine whether the hedging relationships are highly effective at inception and on an ongoing basis.

 
Hedging of foreign exchange risk
Citigroup hedges the change in fair value attributable to foreign-exchange rate movements in available-for-sale securities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity holding the securities, which may be within or outside the U.S. The hedging instrument employed is a forward foreign-exchange contract. In this type of hedge, the change in fair value of the hedged available-for-sale security attributable to the portion of foreign exchange risk hedged is reported in earnings and not Accumulated other comprehensive income—a process that serves to offset substantially the change in fair value of the forward contract that is also reflected in earnings. Citigroup considers the premium associated with forward contracts (i.e., the differential between spot and contractual forward rates) as the cost of hedging; this is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and reflected directly in earnings. The dollar-offset method is used to assess hedge effectiveness. Since that assessment is based on changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot rates on both the available-for-sale securities and the forward contracts for the portion of the relationship hedged, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness is not significant.

Cash Flow Hedges

Hedging of benchmark interest rate risk
Citigroup hedges variable cash flows associated with floating-rate liabilities and the rollover (re-issuance) of liabilities. Variable cash flows from those liabilities are converted to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps and receive-variable, pay-fixed forward-starting interest rate swaps. Citi also hedges variable cash flows from recognized and forecasted floating-rate assets. Variable cash flows from those assets are converted to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps. These cash-flow hedging relationships use either regression analysis or dollar-offset ratio analysis to assess whether the hedging relationships are highly effective at inception and on an ongoing basis. When certain interest rates do not qualify as a benchmark interest rate, Citigroup designates the risk being hedged as the risk of overall changes in the hedged cash flows. Since efforts are made to match the terms of the derivatives to those of the hedged forecasted cash flows as closely as possible, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness is not significant.

 
Hedging of foreign exchange risk
Citigroup locks in the functional currency equivalent cash flows of long-term debt and short-term borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the issuing entity. Depending on the risk management objectives, these types of hedges are designated as either cash flow hedges of only foreign exchange risk or cash flow hedges of both foreign exchange and interest rate risk, and the hedging instruments used are foreign exchange cross-currency swaps and forward contracts. These cash flow hedge relationships use dollar-offset ratio analysis to determine whether the hedging relationships are highly effective at inception and on an ongoing basis.

Hedging of overall changes in cash flows
Citigroup hedges the overall exposure to variability in cash flows related to the future acquisition of mortgage-backed securities using “to be announced” forward contracts. Since the hedged transaction is the gross settlement of the forward contract, the assessment of hedge effectiveness is based on assuring that the terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged forecasted transaction are the same.

Hedging total return
Citigroup generally manages the risk associated with leveraged loans it has originated or in which it participates by transferring a majority of its exposure to the market through SPEs prior to or shortly after funding. Retained exposures to
leveraged loans receivable are generally hedged using total return swaps.


The amount of hedge ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedges recognized in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is not significant. The pretax change in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) from cash flow hedges is presented below:

For cash flow hedges, any changes in the fair value of the end-user derivative remaining in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet will be included in earnings of future periods to offset the variability of the hedged cash flows when such cash flows affect earnings. The net loss associated with cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within 12 months of March 31,
 
2014 is approximately $0.3 billion. The maximum length of time over which forecasted cash flows are hedged is 10 years.
The after-tax impact of cash flow hedges on AOCI is shown in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Investment Hedges
Consistent with ASC 830-20, Foreign Currency Matters—Foreign Currency Transactions, ASC 815 allows hedging of the foreign currency risk of a net investment in a foreign operation. Citigroup uses foreign currency forwards, options and foreign-currency-denominated debt instruments to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with Citigroup’s equity investments in several non-U.S.-dollar-functional-currency foreign subsidiaries. Citigroup records the change in the carrying amount of these investments in the Foreign currency translation adjustment account within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Simultaneously, the effective portion of the hedge of this exposure is also recorded in the Foreign currency translation adjustment account and the ineffective portion, if any, is immediately recorded in earnings.
For derivatives designated as net investment hedges, Citigroup follows the forward-rate method outlined in ASC 815-35-35-16 through 35-26. According to that method, all changes in fair value, including changes related to the forward-rate component of the foreign currency forward contracts and the time value of foreign currency options, are recorded in the Foreign currency translation adjustment account within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
For foreign-currency-denominated debt instruments that are designated as hedges of net investments, the translation gain or loss that is recorded in the Foreign currency translation adjustment account is based on the spot exchange rate between the functional currency of the respective subsidiary and the U.S. dollar, which is the functional currency of Citigroup. To the extent the notional amount of the hedging instrument exactly matches the hedged net investment and the underlying exchange rate of the derivative hedging instrument relates to the exchange rate between the functional currency of the net investment and Citigroup’s functional currency (or, in the case of a non-derivative debt instrument, such instrument is denominated in the functional currency of the net investment), no ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings.
The pretax gain (loss) recorded in the Foreign currency translation adjustment account within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), related to the effective portion of the net investment hedges, is $(477) million and $489 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Credit Derivatives
A credit derivative is a bilateral contract between a buyer and a seller under which the seller agrees to provide protection to the buyer against the credit risk of a particular entity (“reference entity” or “reference credit”). Credit derivatives generally require that the seller of credit protection make payments to the buyer upon the occurrence of predefined credit events (commonly referred to as “settlement triggers”). These settlement triggers are defined by the form of the derivative and the reference credit and are generally limited to the market standard of failure to pay on indebtedness and bankruptcy of the reference credit and, in a more limited range of transactions, debt restructuring. Credit derivative
 
transactions referring to emerging market reference credits will also typically include additional settlement triggers to cover the acceleration of indebtedness and the risk of repudiation or a payment moratorium. In certain transactions, protection may be provided on a portfolio of reference credits or asset-backed securities. The seller of such protection may not be required to make payment until a specified amount of losses has occurred with respect to the portfolio and/or may only be required to pay for losses up to a specified amount.
The Company is a market maker and trades a range of credit derivatives. Through these contracts, the Company either purchases or writes protection on either a single name or a portfolio of reference credits. The Company also uses credit derivatives to help mitigate credit risk in its Corporate and Consumer loan portfolios and other cash positions, and to facilitate client transactions.
The range of credit derivatives sold includes credit default swaps, total return swaps, credit options and credit-linked notes.
A credit default swap is a contract in which, for a fee, a protection seller agrees to reimburse a protection buyer for any losses that occur due to a credit event on a reference entity. If there is no credit default event or settlement trigger, as defined by the specific derivative contract, then the protection seller makes no payments to the protection buyer and receives only the contractually specified fee. However, if a credit event occurs as defined in the specific derivative contract sold, the protection seller will be required to make a payment to the protection buyer.
A total return swap transfers the total economic performance of a reference asset, which includes all associated cash flows, as well as capital appreciation or depreciation. The protection buyer receives a floating rate of interest and any depreciation on the reference asset from the protection seller and, in return, the protection seller receives the cash flows associated with the reference asset plus any appreciation. Thus, according to the total return swap agreement, the protection seller will be obligated to make a payment any time the floating interest rate payment and any depreciation of the reference asset exceed the cash flows associated with the underlying asset. A total return swap may terminate upon a default of the reference asset subject to the provisions of the related total return swap agreement between the protection seller and the protection buyer.
A credit option is a credit derivative that allows investors to trade or hedge changes in the credit quality of the reference asset. For example, in a credit spread option, the option writer assumes the obligation to purchase or sell the reference asset at a specified “strike” spread level. The option purchaser buys the right to sell the reference asset to, or purchase it from, the option writer at the strike spread level. The payments on credit spread options depend either on a particular credit spread or the price of the underlying credit-sensitive asset. The options usually terminate if the underlying assets default.
A credit-linked note is a form of credit derivative structured as a debt security with an embedded credit default swap. The purchaser of the note writes credit protection to the issuer and receives a return that could be negatively affected by credit events on the underlying reference credit. If the


180



reference entity defaults, the purchaser of the credit-linked note may assume the long position in the debt security and any future cash flows from it but will lose the amount paid to the issuer of the credit-linked note. Thus, the maximum amount of the exposure is the carrying amount of the credit-linked note. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount of credit-linked notes held by the Company in trading inventory was immaterial.
The following tables summarize the key characteristics of the Company’s credit derivative portfolio as protection seller as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Citigroup evaluates the payment/performance risk of the credit derivatives for which it stands as a protection seller based on the credit rating assigned to the underlying referenced credit. Where external ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (such as Moody’s and S&P) are used, investment grade ratings are considered to be Baa/BBB or above, while anything below is considered non-investment grade. The Citigroup internal ratings are in line with the related external credit rating system. Credit derivatives written on an underlying non-investment grade reference credit represent greater payment risk to the Company. The non-investment grade category in the table above also includes credit derivatives where the underlying referenced entity has been downgraded subsequent to the inception of the derivative.
The maximum potential amount of future payments under credit derivative contracts presented in the table above is based on the notional value of the derivatives. The Company believes that the maximum potential amount of future payments for credit protection sold is not representative of the actual loss exposure based on historical experience. This amount has not been reduced by the Company’s rights to the underlying assets and the related cash flows. In accordance with most credit derivative contracts, should a credit event (or settlement trigger) occur, the Company usually is liable for the difference between the protection sold and the recourse it holds in the value of the underlying assets. Thus, if the


181



reference entity defaults, Citi will have a right to collect on the underlying reference credit and any related cash flows, while being liable for the full notional amount of credit protection sold to the buyer. Furthermore, this maximum potential amount of future payments for credit protection sold has not been reduced for any cash collateral paid to a given counterparty, as such payments would be calculated after netting all derivative exposures, including any credit derivatives with that counterparty in accordance with a related master netting agreement. Due to such netting processes, determining the amount of collateral that corresponds to credit derivative exposures alone is not possible. The Company actively monitors open credit-risk exposures and manages this exposure by using a variety of strategies, including purchased credit derivatives, cash collateral or direct holdings of the referenced assets. This risk mitigation activity is not captured in the table above.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features in Derivatives
Certain derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to either post additional collateral or immediately settle any outstanding liability balances upon the occurrence of a specified credit-risk-related event. These events, which are defined by the existing derivative contracts, are primarily downgrades in the credit ratings of the Company and its affiliates. The fair value (excluding CVA) of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $25 billion and $26 billion, respectively. The Company has posted $23 billion and $24 billion as collateral for this exposure in the normal course of business as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Each downgrade would trigger additional collateral or cash settlement requirements for the Company and its affiliates. In the event that each legal entity was downgraded a single notch by the three rating agencies as of March 31, 2014, the Company would be required to post an additional $2.1 billion as either collateral or settlement of the derivative transactions. Additionally, the Company would be required to segregate with third-party custodians collateral previously received from existing derivative counterparties in the amount of $0.1 billion upon the single notch downgrade, resulting in aggregate cash obligations and collateral requirements of approximately $2.2 billion.

22.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Among other things, the standard requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Under ASC 820-10, the probability of default of a counterparty is factored into the valuation of derivative positions and includes the impact of Citigroup’s own credit risk on derivatives and other liabilities measured at fair value.

Fair Value Hierarchy
ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of inputs based on whether the inputs are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The Company considers relevant and observable market prices in its valuations where possible. The frequency of transactions, the size of the bid-ask spread and the amount of adjustment necessary when comparing similar transactions are all factors in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed prices in those markets.
The Company’s policy with respect to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize transfers into and out of each level as of the end of the reporting period.

Determination of Fair Value
For assets and liabilities carried at fair value, the Company measures such value using the procedures set out below, irrespective of whether these assets and liabilities are carried at fair value as a result of an election or whether they are required to be carried at fair value.
When available, the Company generally uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such items as Level 1. In some cases where a market price is available, the Company will make use of acceptable practical expedients (such as matrix pricing) to calculate fair value, in which case the items are classified as Level 2.
If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use,
 
where possible, current market-based parameters, such as interest rates, currency rates, option volatilities, etc. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified as Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
The Company may also apply a price-based methodology, which utilizes, where available, quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to the position being valued. The market activity and the amount of the bid-ask spread are among the factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed prices from those markets. If relevant and observable prices are available, those valuations may be classified as Level 2. When less liquidity exists for a security or loan, a quoted price is stale, a significant adjustment to the price of a similar security is necessary to reflect differences in the terms of the actual security or loan being valued, or prices from independent sources are insufficient to corroborate the valuation, the “price” inputs are considered unobservable and the fair value measurements are classified as Level 3.
Fair value estimates from internal valuation techniques are verified, where possible, to prices obtained from independent vendors or brokers. Vendors and brokers’ valuations may be based on a variety of inputs ranging from observed prices to proprietary valuation models.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models, the key inputs to those models and any significant assumptions.

Market valuation adjustments
Liquidity adjustments are applied to items in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to ensure that the fair value reflects the liquidity or illiquidity of the market. The liquidity reserve may utilize the bid-offer spread for an instrument as one of the factors.
Counterparty credit-risk adjustments are applied to derivatives, such as over-the-counter uncollateralized derivatives, where the base valuation uses market parameters based on the relevant base interest rate curves. Not all counterparties have the same credit risk as that implied by the relevant base curve, so it is necessary to consider the market view of the credit risk of a counterparty in order to estimate the fair value of such an item.
Bilateral or “own” credit-risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing derivatives and liabilities measured at fair value. Counterparty and own credit adjustments consider the expected future cash flows between Citi and its counterparties under the terms of the instrument and the effect of credit risk on the valuation of those cash flows, rather than a point-in-time assessment of the
current recognized net asset or liability. Furthermore, the credit-risk adjustments take into account the effect of credit-


183



risk mitigants, such as pledged collateral and any legal right of offset (to the extent such offset exists) with a counterparty through arrangements such as netting agreements.
Generally, the unit of account for a financial instrument is the individual financial instrument. The Company applies market valuation adjustments that are consistent with the unit of account, which does not include adjustment due to the size of the Company’s position, except as follows. ASC 820-10 permits an exception, through an accounting policy election, to measure the fair value of a portfolio of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the net open risk position when certain criteria are met. Citi has elected to measure certain portfolios of financial instruments, such as derivatives, that meet those criteria on the basis of the net open risk position. The Company applies market valuation adjustments, including adjustments to account for the size of the net open risk position, consistent with market participant assumptions and in accordance with the unit of account.

Valuation Process for Fair Value Measurements
Price verification procedures and related internal control procedures are governed by the Citigroup Pricing and Price Verification Policy and Standards, which is jointly owned by Finance and Risk Management. Finance has implemented the ICG Pricing and Price Verification Standards and Procedures to facilitate compliance with this policy.
For fair value measurements of substantially all assets and liabilities held by the Company, individual business units are responsible for valuing the trading account assets and liabilities, and Product Control within Finance performs independent price verification procedures to evaluate those fair value measurements. Product Control is independent of the individual business units and reports to the Global Head of Product Control. It has authority over the valuation of financial assets and liabilities. Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are determined using various techniques, including, but not limited to, discounted cash flows and internal models, such as option and correlation models.
Based on the observability of inputs used, Product Control classifies the inventory as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. When a position involves one or more significant inputs that are not directly observable, additional price verification procedures are applied. These procedures may include reviewing relevant historical data, analyzing profit and loss, valuing each component of a structured trade individually, and benchmarking, among others.
Reports of inventory that is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are distributed to senior management in Finance, Risk and the individual business. This inventory is also discussed in Risk Committees and in monthly meetings with senior trading management. As deemed necessary, reports may go to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or to the full Board of Directors. Whenever a valuation adjustment is needed to bring the price of an asset or liability to its exit price, Product Control reports it to management along with other price verification results.
In addition, the pricing models used in measuring fair value are governed by an independent control framework.
 
Although the models are developed and tested by the individual business units, they are independently validated by the Model Validation Group within Risk Management and reviewed by Finance with respect to their impact on the price verification procedures. The purpose of this independent control framework is to assess model risk arising from models’ theoretical soundness, calibration techniques where needed, and the appropriateness of the model for a specific product in a defined market. Valuation adjustments, if any, go through a similar independent review process as the valuation models. To ensure their continued applicability, models are independently reviewed annually. In addition, Risk Management approves and maintains a list of products permitted to be valued under each approved model for a given business.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
No quoted prices exist for such instruments, so fair value is determined using a discounted cash-flow technique. Cash flows are estimated based on the terms of the contract, taking into account any embedded derivative or other features. Expected cash flows are discounted using interest rates appropriate to the maturity of the instrument as well as the nature of the underlying collateral. Generally, when such instruments are held at fair value, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the inputs used in the valuation are readily observable. However, certain long-dated positions are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Trading account assets and liabilities—trading securities and trading loans
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of trading securities; such items are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Examples include some government securities and exchange-traded equity securities.
For bonds and secondary market loans traded over the counter, the Company generally determines fair value utilizing valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows, price-based and internal models, such as Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo simulation. Fair value estimates from these internal valuation techniques are verified, where possible, to prices obtained from independent vendors. Vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply matrix pricing for similar bonds or loans where no price is observable. A price-based methodology utilizes, where available, quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the bond or loan being valued. The yields used in discounted cash flow models are derived from the same price information. Trading securities and loans priced using such methods are generally classified as Level 2. However, when less liquidity exists for a security or loan, a quoted price is stale, a significant adjustment to the
price of a similar security or loan is necessary to reflect differences in the terms of the actual security or loan being valued, or prices from independent sources are insufficient to corroborate valuation, a loan or security is generally classified


184



as Level 3. The price input used in a price-based methodology may be zero for a security, such as a subprime CDO, that is not receiving any principal or interest and is currently written down to zero.
Where the Company’s principal market for a portfolio of loans is the securitization market, the Company uses the securitization price to determine the fair value of the portfolio. The securitization price is determined from the assumed proceeds of a hypothetical securitization in the current market, adjusted for transformation costs (i.e., direct costs other than transaction costs) and securitization uncertainties such as market conditions and liquidity. As a result of the severe reduction in the level of activity in certain securitization markets since the second half of 2007, observable securitization prices for certain directly comparable portfolios of loans have not been readily available. Therefore, such portfolios of loans are generally classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. However, for other loan securitization markets, such as commercial real estate loans, price verification of the hypothetical securitizations has been possible, since these markets have remained active. Accordingly, this loan portfolio is classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Trading account assets and liabilities—derivatives
Exchange-traded derivatives are generally measured at fair value using quoted market (i.e., exchange) prices and are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The majority of derivatives entered into by the Company are executed over the counter and are valued using internal valuation techniques, as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation techniques and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. The principal techniques used to value these instruments are discounted cash flows and internal models, including Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo simulation. The fair values of derivative contracts reflect cash the Company has paid or received (for example, option premiums paid and received).
The key inputs depend upon the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and include interest rate yield curves, foreign-exchange rates, volatilities and correlation. The Company uses overnight indexed swap (OIS) curves as fair value measurement inputs for the valuation of certain collateralized derivatives. Citi uses the relevant benchmark curve for the currency of the derivative (e.g., the London Interbank Offered Rate for U.S. dollar derivatives) as the discount rate for uncollateralized derivatives. Citi has not recognized any valuation adjustments to reflect the cost of funding uncollateralized derivative positions beyond that implied by the relevant benchmark curve. Citi continues to monitor market practices and activity with respect to discounting in derivative valuation.
The derivative instruments are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3 depending upon the observability of the significant inputs to the model.

 
Subprime-related direct exposures in CDOs
The valuation of high-grade and mezzanine asset-backed security (ABS) CDO positions utilizes prices based on the underlying assets of each high-grade and mezzanine ABS CDO. The high-grade and mezzanine positions are largely hedged through the ABS and bond short positions. This results in closer symmetry in the way these long and short positions are valued by the Company. Citigroup uses trader marks to value this portion of the portfolio and will do so as long as it remains largely hedged.
For most of the lending and structured direct subprime exposures, fair value is determined utilizing observable transactions where available, other market data for similar assets in markets that are not active and other internal valuation techniques.

Investments
The investments category includes available-for-sale debt and marketable equity securities whose fair value is generally determined by utilizing similar procedures described for trading securities above or, in some cases, using consensus pricing as the primary source.
Also included in investments are nonpublic investments in private equity and real estate entities held by ICG. Determining the fair value of nonpublic securities involves a significant degree of management resources and judgment, as no quoted prices exist and such securities are generally very thinly traded. In addition, there may be transfer restrictions on private equity securities. The Company’s process for determining the fair value of such securities utilizes commonly accepted valuation techniques, including comparables analysis. In determining the fair value of nonpublic securities, the Company also considers events such as a proposed sale of the investee company, initial public offerings, equity issuances or other observable transactions. As discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company uses net asset value to value certain of these investments.
Private equity securities are generally classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term borrowings and long-term debt
Where fair value accounting has been elected, the fair value of non-structured liabilities is determined by utilizing internal models using the appropriate discount rate for the applicable maturity. Such instruments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as all inputs are readily observable.
The Company determines the fair value of structured liabilities (where performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation or currency risks) and hybrid financial instruments (where performance is linked to risks other than interest rates, inflation or currency risks) using the appropriate derivative valuation methodology (described above in “Trading account assets and liabilities—derivatives”) given the nature of the embedded risk profile. Such instruments are
classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of significant inputs to the model.



185



Alt-A mortgage securities
The Company classifies its Alt-A mortgage securities as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading investments. The securities classified as trading and available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reported in current earnings and AOCI, respectively. For these purposes, Citi defines Alt-A mortgage securities as non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) where (i) the underlying collateral has weighted average FICO scores between 680 and 720 or (ii) for instances where FICO scores are greater than 720, RMBS have 30% or less of the underlying collateral composed of full documentation loans.
Similar to the valuation methodologies used for other trading securities and trading loans, the Company generally determines the fair values of Alt-A mortgage securities utilizing internal valuation techniques. Fair value estimates from internal valuation techniques are verified, where possible, to prices obtained from independent vendors. Consensus data providers compile prices from various sources. Where available, the Company may also make use of quoted prices for recent trading activity in securities with the same or similar characteristics to the security being valued.
The valuation techniques used for Alt-A mortgage securities, as with other mortgage exposures, are price-based and yield analysis. The primary market-derived input is yield. Cash flows are based on current collateral performance with prepayment rates and loss projections reflective of current economic conditions of housing price change, unemployment rates, interest rates, borrower attributes and other market indicators.
Alt-A mortgage securities that are valued using these methods are generally classified as Level 2. However, Alt-A mortgage securities backed by Alt-A mortgages of lower quality or subordinated tranches in the capital structure are mostly classified as Level 3 due to the reduced liquidity that exists for such positions, which reduces the reliability of prices available from independent sources.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following tables present for each of the fair value hierarchy levels the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company’s hedging of positions that have been classified in the Level 3 category is not limited
 
to other financial instruments (hedging instruments) that have been classified as Level 3, but also instruments classified as Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The effects of these hedges are presented gross in the following table.

(1)
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company transferred assets of approximately $1.2 billion and liabilities of approximately $1.4 billion from Level 1 to Level 2 primarily due to Citi refining its methodology for certain equity contracts to reflect the prevalence of off-exchange trading. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company transferred assets of approximately $2.1 billion from Level 2 to Level 1, almost all related to foreign government bonds, reflecting trading in liquid markets.
(2)
Represents netting of: (i) the amounts due under securities purchased under agreements to resell and the amounts owed under securities sold under agreements to repurchase; and (ii) derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement and cash collateral offsetting.
(3)
Reflects the net amount of $44,002 million of gross cash collateral paid, of which $38,312 million was used to offset derivative liabilities.
(4)
There is no allowance for loan losses recorded for loans reported at fair value.
(5)
Because the amount of the cash collateral paid/received has not been allocated to the Level 1, 2 and 3 subtotals, these percentages are calculated based on total assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding the cash collateral paid/received on derivatives.
(6)
Reflects the net amount of $46,316 million of gross cash collateral received, of which $36,153 million was used to offset derivative assets.
(7)
Reflects the net amount of $3,312 million of gross cash collateral received, of which $3,020 million was used to offset derivative assets.

(1)
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company transferred assets of $0.5 billion from Level 1 to Level 2, primarily related to foreign government bonds, which were traded with less frequency. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company transferred assets of $49.0 billion from Level 2 to Level 1, almost all of which related to U.S. Treasury securities held across the Company’s major investment portfolios where Citi obtained additional information from its external pricing sources to meet the criteria for Level 1 classification as of March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company transferred liabilities of $11 million from Level 1 to Level 2, and liabilities of $21 million from Level 2 to Level 1.
(2)
Represents netting of: (i) the amounts due under securities purchased under agreements to resell and the amounts owed under securities sold under agreements to repurchase; and (ii) derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement and cash collateral offsetting.
(3)
Reflects the net amount of $45,167 million of gross cash collateral paid, of which $39,094 million was used to offset derivative liabilities.
(4)
There is no allowance for loan losses recorded for loans reported at fair value.
(5)
Because the amount of the cash collateral paid/received has not been allocated to the Level 1, 2 and 3 subtotals, these percentages are calculated based on total assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding the cash collateral paid/received on derivatives.
(6)
Reflects the net amount of $43,720 million of gross cash collateral received, of which $34,893 million was used to offset derivative assets.
(7)
Reflects the net amount of $3,233 million of gross cash collateral received, of which $2,951 million was used to offset derivative assets.

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Category
The following tables present the changes in the Level 3 fair value category for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. As discussed above, the Company classifies financial instruments as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when there is reliance on at least one significant unobservable input to the valuation model. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for Level 3 financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly. The gains and losses presented below include changes in the fair value related to both observable and unobservable inputs.
 
The Company often hedges positions with offsetting positions that are classified in a different level. For example, the gains and losses for assets and liabilities in the Level 3 category presented in the tables below do not reflect the effect of offsetting losses and gains on hedging instruments that have been classified by the Company in the Level 1 and Level 2 categories. In addition, the Company hedges items classified in the Level 3 category with instruments also classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The effects of these hedges are presented gross in the following tables.

Total Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities have been netted in these tables for presentation purposes only.
Level 3 Fair Value Rollforward
For the period December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014, there were no significant Level 3 transfers.
The following were the significant Level 3 transfers for the period December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013:
    Transfers of Federal funds sold and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell of $1.3 billion from Level 3 to Level 2 related to the shortening of the remaining tenor of certain structured reverse repos. There has been more transparency and observability for repo curves used in the valuation of structured reverse repos with tenors up to five years; thus, structured reverse repos maturing within five years are generally classified as Level 2.
Transfers of U.S. government-sponsored agency guaranteed mortgage backed securities in Investments of $1.6 billion from Level 2 to Level 3, and of $1.0 billion from Level 3 to Level 2, were driven by changes in the level of price observability of specific instruments.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs for Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s Level 3 inventory consists of both cash securities and derivatives of varying complexities. The valuation methodologies applied to measure the fair value of these positions include discounted cash flow analyses, internal models and comparative analysis. A position is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when at least one input is unobservable and is considered significant to its valuation. The specific reason an input is deemed unobservable varies. For example, at least one significant input to the pricing model is not observable in the market, at least one significant input has been adjusted to make it more representative of the position being valued, or the price quote available does not reflect sufficient trading activities.
 
The following tables present the valuation techniques covering the majority of Level 3 inventory and the most significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Differences between this table and amounts presented in the Level 3 Fair Value Rollforward table represent individually immaterial items that have been measured using a variety of valuation techniques other than those listed.

(1)
The fair value amounts presented in this table represent the primary valuation technique or techniques for each class of assets or liabilities.
(2)
Some inputs are shown as zero due to rounding.
(3)
When the low and high inputs are the same, there is either a constant input applied to all positions, or the methodology involving the input applies to one large position only.
(4)
Weighted averages are calculated based on the fair value of the instrument.
(5)
For equity securities, the price input is expressed on an absolute basis, not as a percentage of the notional amount.
(6)
Both trading and nontrading account derivatives—assets and liabilities—are presented on a gross absolute value basis.
(7)
Includes hybrid products.

Sensitivity to Unobservable Inputs and Interrelationships between Unobservable Inputs
The impact of key unobservable inputs on the Level 3 fair value measurements may not be independent of one another. In addition, the amount and direction of the impact on a fair value measurement for a given change in an unobservable input depends on the nature of the instrument as well as whether the Company holds the instrument as an asset or a liability. For certain instruments, the pricing hedging and risk management are sensitive to the correlation between various inputs rather than on the analysis and aggregation of the individual inputs.
The following section describes the sensitivities and interrelationships of the most significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in Level 3 fair value measurements.


198



Correlation
Correlation is a measure of the co-movement between two or more variables. A variety of correlation-related assumptions are required for a wide range of instruments, including equity and credit baskets, foreign-exchange options, CDOs backed by loans or bonds, mortgages, subprime mortgages and many other instruments. For almost all of these instruments, correlations are not observable in the market and must be estimated using historical information. Estimating correlation can be especially difficult where it may vary over time. Extracting correlation information from market data requires significant assumptions regarding the informational efficiency of the market (for example, swaption markets). Changes in correlation levels can have a major impact, favorable or unfavorable, on the value of an instrument, depending on its nature. A change in the default correlation of the fair value of the underlying bonds comprising a CDO structure would affect the fair value of the senior tranche. For example, an increase in the default correlation of the underlying bonds would reduce the fair value of the senior tranche, because highly correlated instruments produce larger losses in the event of default and a part of these losses would become attributable to the senior tranche. That same change in default correlation would have a different impact on junior tranches of the same structure.

Volatility
Volatility represents the speed and severity of market price changes and is a key factor in pricing options. Typically, instruments can become more expensive if volatility increases. For example, as an index becomes more volatile, the cost to Citi of maintaining a given level of exposure increases because more frequent rebalancing of the portfolio is required. Volatility generally depends on the tenor of the underlying instrument and the strike price or level defined in the contract. Volatilities for certain combinations of tenor and strike are not observable. The general relationship between changes in the value of a portfolio to changes in volatility also depends on changes in interest rates and the level of the underlying index. Generally, long option positions (assets) benefit from increases in volatility, whereas short option positions (liabilities) will suffer losses. Some instruments are more sensitive to changes in volatility than others. For example, an at-the-money option would experience a larger percentage change in its fair value than a deep-in-the-money option. In addition, the fair value of an option with more than one underlying security (for example, an option on a basket of bonds) depends on the volatility of the individual underlying securities as well as their correlations.

Yield
Adjusted yield is generally used to discount the projected future principal and interest cash flows on instruments, such as asset-backed securities. Adjusted yield is impacted by changes in the interest rate environment and relevant credit spreads.
In some circumstances, the yield of an instrument is not observable in the market and must be estimated from historical data or from yields of similar securities. This estimated yield may need to be adjusted to capture the characteristics of the
 
security being valued. In other situations, the estimated yield may not represent sufficient market liquidity and must be adjusted as well. Whenever the amount of the adjustment is significant to the value of the security, the fair value measurement is classified as Level 3.

Prepayment
Voluntary unscheduled payments (prepayments) change the future cash flows for the investor and thereby change the fair value of the security. The effect of prepayments is more pronounced for residential mortgage-backed securities. An increase in prepayments—in speed or magnitude—generally creates losses for the holder of these securities. Prepayment is generally negatively correlated with delinquency and interest rate. A combination of low prepayment and high delinquencies amplify each input’s negative impact on mortgage securities’ valuation. As prepayment speeds change, the weighted average life of the security changes, which impacts the valuation either positively or negatively, depending upon the nature of the security and the direction of the change in the weighted average life.

Recovery
Recovery is the proportion of the total outstanding balance of a bond or loan that is expected to be collected in a liquidation scenario. For many credit securities (such as asset-backed securities), there is no directly observable market input for recovery, but indications of recovery levels are available from pricing services. The assumed recovery of a security may differ from its actual recovery that will be observable in the future. The recovery rate impacts the valuation of credit securities. Generally, an increase in the recovery rate assumption increases the fair value of the security. An increase in loss severity, the inverse of the recovery rate, reduces the amount of principal available for distribution and, as a result, decreases the fair value of the security.

Credit Spread
Credit spread is a component of the security representing its credit quality. Credit spread reflects the market perception of changes in prepayment, delinquency and recovery rates, therefore capturing the impact of other variables on the fair value. Changes in credit spread affect the fair value of
securities differently depending on the characteristics and maturity profile of the security. For example, credit spread is a more significant driver of the fair value measurement of a high yield bond as compared to an investment grade bond. Generally, the credit spread for an investment grade bond is also more observable and less volatile than its high yield counterpart.

Qualitative Discussion of the Ranges of Significant Unobservable Inputs
The following section describes the ranges of the most significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in Level 3 fair value measurements. The level of aggregation and the diversity of instruments held by the Company lead to a wide range of unobservable inputs that may not be evenly distributed across the Level 3 inventory.


199




Correlation
There are many different types of correlation inputs, including credit correlation, cross-asset correlation (such as equity-interest rate correlation), and same-asset correlation (such as interest rate-interest rate correlation). Correlation inputs are generally used to value hybrid and exotic instruments. Generally, same-asset correlation inputs have a narrower range than cross-asset correlation inputs. However, due to the complex and unique nature of these instruments, the ranges for correlation inputs can vary widely across portfolios.

Volatility
Similar to correlation, asset-specific volatility inputs vary widely by asset type. For example, ranges for foreign exchange volatility are generally lower and narrower than equity volatility. Equity volatilities are wider due to the nature of the equities market and the terms of certain exotic instruments. For most instruments, the interest rate volatility input is on the lower end of the range; however, for certain structured or exotic instruments (such as market-linked deposits or exotic interest rate derivatives), the range is much wider.

Yield
Ranges for the yield inputs vary significantly depending upon the type of security. For example, securities that typically have lower yields, such as municipal bonds, will fall on the lower end of the range, while more illiquid securities or securities with lower credit quality, such as certain residual tranche asset-backed securities, will have much higher yield inputs.

Credit Spread
Credit spread is relevant primarily for fixed income and credit instruments; however, the ranges for the credit spread input can vary across instruments. For example, certain fixed income instruments, such as certificates of deposit, typically have lower credit spreads, whereas certain derivative instruments with high-risk counterparties are typically subject to higher credit spreads when they are uncollateralized or have a longer tenor. Other instruments, such as credit default swaps, also have credit spreads that vary with the attributes of the underlying obligor. Stronger companies have tighter credit spreads, and weaker companies have wider credit spreads.

Price
The price input is a significant unobservable input for certain fixed income instruments. For these instruments, the price input is expressed as a percentage of the notional amount, with a price of $100 meaning that the instrument is valued at par. For most of these instruments, the price varies between zero to $100, or slightly above $100. Relatively illiquid assets that have experienced significant losses since issuance, such as certain asset-backed securities, are at the lower end of the range, whereas most investment grade corporate bonds will fall in the middle to the higher end of the range. For certain structured debt instruments with embedded derivatives, the price input may be above $100 to reflect the embedded
 
features of the instrument (for example, a step-up coupon or a conversion option).
The price input is also a significant unobservable input for certain equity securities; however, the range of price inputs varies depending on the nature of the position, the number of shares outstanding and other factors.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and therefore are not included in the tables above. These include assets measured at cost that have been written down to fair value during the periods as a result of an impairment. In addition, these assets include loans held-for-sale and other real estate owned that are measured at the lower of cost or market.
The following table presents the carrying amounts of all assets that were still held as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, for which a nonrecurring fair value measurement was recorded:

The fair value of loans-held-for-sale is determined where possible using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan. Fair value for the other real estate owned is based on appraisals. For loans whose carrying amount is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, the fair values depend on the type of collateral. Fair value of the collateral is typically estimated based on quoted market prices if available, appraisals or other internal valuation techniques.
Where the fair value of the related collateral is based on an unadjusted appraised value, the loan is generally classified as Level 2. Where significant adjustments are made to the appraised value, the loan is classified as Level 3. Additionally, for corporate loans, appraisals of the collateral are often based on sales of similar assets; however, because the prices of similar assets require significant adjustments to reflect the unique features of the underlying collateral, these fair value measurements are generally classified as Level 3.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs for Level 3 Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
The table below presents the carrying value and fair value of Citigroup’s financial instruments that are not carried at fair value. The table below therefore excludes items measured at fair value on a recurring basis presented in the tables above.
The disclosure also excludes leases, affiliate investments, pension and benefit obligations and insurance policy claim reserves. In addition, contract-holder fund amounts exclude certain insurance contracts. Also, as required, the disclosure excludes the effect of taxes, any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular instrument, excess fair value associated with deposits with no fixed maturity, and other expenses that would be incurred in a market transaction. In addition, the table excludes the values of non-financial assets and liabilities, as well as a wide range of franchise, relationship and intangible values, which are integral to a full assessment of Citigroup’s financial position and the value of its net assets.
The fair value represents management’s best estimates based on a range of methodologies and assumptions. The
 
carrying value of short-term financial instruments not accounted for at fair value, as well as receivables and payables arising in the ordinary course of business, approximates fair value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization. Quoted market prices are used when available for investments and for liabilities, such as long-term debt not carried at fair value. For loans not accounted for at fair value, cash flows are discounted at quoted secondary market rates or estimated market rates if available. Otherwise, sales of comparable loan portfolios or current market origination rates for loans with similar terms and risk characteristics are used. Expected credit losses are either embedded in the estimated future cash flows or incorporated as an adjustment to the discount rate used. The value of collateral is also considered. For liabilities such as long-term debt not accounted for at fair value and without quoted market prices, market borrowing rates of interest are used to discount contractual cash flows.

(1)
The carrying value of loans is net of the Allowance for loan losses of $18.9 billion for March 31, 2014 and $19.6 billion for December 31, 2013. In addition, the carrying values exclude $2.9 billion and $2.9 billion of lease finance receivables at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
(2)
Includes items measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
(3)
Includes cash and due from banks, deposits with banks, brokerage receivables, reinsurance recoverable and other financial instruments included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, for all of which the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(4)
The carrying value includes long-term debt balances under qualifying fair value hedges.
(5)
Includes brokerage payables, separate and variable accounts, short-term borrowings (carried at cost) and other financial instruments included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, for all of which the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Fair values vary from period to period based on changes in a wide range of factors, including interest rates, credit quality and market perceptions of value, and as existing assets and liabilities run off and new transactions are entered into. The estimated fair values of loans reflect changes in credit status since the loans were made, changes in interest rates in the case of fixed-rate loans, and premium values at origination of certain loans.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s corporate unfunded lending commitments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were liabilities of $6.1 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively, substantially all of which are classified as Level 3. The Company does not estimate the fair values of consumer unfunded lending commitments, which are generally cancelable by providing notice to the borrower.



204



23.   FAIR VALUE ELECTIONS
The Company may elect to report most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election is made upon the initial recognition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not be revoked once an election is made. The changes in fair value are recorded in current earnings. Additional discussion regarding the applicable areas in which fair value elections were made is presented in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
All servicing rights are recognized initially at fair value. The Company has elected fair value accounting for its mortgage servicing rights. See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussions regarding the accounting and reporting of MSRs.
The following table presents, as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the changes in fair value gains and losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 associated with those items for which the fair value option was elected:

Own Debt Valuation Adjustments
Own debt valuation adjustments are recognized on Citi’s liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected using Citi’s credit spreads observed in the bond market. The fair value of liabilities for which the fair value option is elected (other than non-recourse and similar liabilities) is impacted by the narrowing or widening of the Company’s credit spreads. The estimated change in the fair value of these liabilities due to such changes in the Company’s own credit risk (or instrument-specific credit risk) was a gain of $34 million and a loss of $210 million for the three months ended
 
March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in instrument-specific credit risk were estimated by incorporating the Company’s current credit spreads observable in the bond market into the relevant valuation technique used to value each liability as described above.


205



The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Selected portfolios of securities purchased under agreements to resell, securities borrowed, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, securities loaned and certain non-collateralized short-term borrowings
The Company elected the fair value option for certain portfolios of fixed-income securities purchased under agreements to resell and fixed-income securities sold under agreements to repurchase, securities borrowed, securities loaned, and certain non-collateralized short-term borrowings on broker-dealer entities in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan. In each case, the election was made because the related interest-rate risk is managed on a portfolio basis, primarily with derivative instruments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings.
Changes in fair value for transactions in these portfolios are recorded in Principal transactions. The related interest revenue and interest expense are measured based on the contractual rates specified in the transactions and are reported
 
as interest revenue and expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Certain loans and other credit products
Citigroup has elected the fair value option for certain originated and purchased loans, including certain unfunded loan products, such as guarantees and letters of credit, executed by Citigroup’s lending and trading businesses. None of these credit products are highly leveraged financing commitments. Significant groups of transactions include loans and unfunded loan products that are expected to be either sold or securitized in the near term, or transactions where the economic risks are hedged with derivative instruments such as purchased credit default swaps or total return swaps where the Company pays the total return on the underlying loans to a third party. Citigroup has elected the fair value option to mitigate accounting mismatches in cases where hedge accounting is complex and to achieve operational simplifications. Fair value was not elected for most lending transactions across the Company.

The following table provides information about certain credit products carried at fair value at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

In addition to the amounts reported above, $2,421 million and $2,308 million of unfunded loan commitments related to certain credit products selected for fair value accounting were outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Changes in fair value of funded and unfunded credit products are classified in Principal transactions in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Related interest revenue is measured based on the contractual interest rates and reported as Interest revenue on Trading account assets or loan interest depending on the balance sheet classifications of the credit products. The changes in fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 due to instrument-specific credit risk totaled to a loss of $35 million and a gain of $1 million, respectively.

Certain investments in unallocated precious metals
Citigroup invests in unallocated precious metals accounts (gold, silver, platinum and palladium) as part of its commodity and foreign currency trading activities or to economically hedge certain exposures from issuing structured liabilities. Under ASC 815, the investment is bifurcated into a debt host contract and a commodity forward derivative instrument. Citigroup elects the fair value option for the debt host contract, and reports the debt host contract within Trading account assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
 
total carrying amount of debt host contracts across unallocated precious metals accounts was approximately $1.1 billion at March 31, 2014 and approximately $1.3 billion at December 31, 2013. The amounts are expected to fluctuate based on trading activity in future periods.
As part of its commodity and foreign currency trading activities, Citi sells (buys) unallocated precious metals investments and executes forward purchase (sale) derivative contracts with trading counterparties. When Citi sells an unallocated precious metals investment, Citi’s receivable from its depository bank is repaid and Citi derecognizes its investment in the unallocated precious metal. The forward purchase (sale) contract with the trading counterparty indexed to unallocated precious metals is accounted for as a derivative, at fair value through earnings. As of March 31, 2014, there were approximately $15.1 billion and $8.8 billion notional amounts of such forward purchase and forward sale derivative contracts outstanding, respectively.



206



Certain investments in private equity and real estate ventures and certain equity method and other investments
Citigroup invests in private equity and real estate ventures for the purpose of earning investment returns and for capital
appreciation. The Company has elected the fair value option for certain of these ventures, because such investments are considered similar to many private equity or hedge fund activities in Citi’s investment companies, which are reported at fair value. The fair value option brings consistency in the accounting and evaluation of these investments. All investments (debt and equity) in such private equity and real estate entities are accounted for at fair value. These investments are classified as Investments on Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Citigroup also holds various non-strategic investments in leveraged buyout funds and other hedge funds for which the Company elected fair value accounting to reduce operational and accounting complexity. Since the funds account for all of their underlying assets at fair value, the impact of applying the equity method to Citigroup’s investment in these funds was equivalent to fair value accounting. These investments are classified as Other assets on Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
Changes in the fair values of these investments are classified in Other revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income.
Citigroup also elects the fair value option for certain non-marketable equity securities whose risk is managed with derivative instruments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. These securities are classified as Trading account assets on Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the fair value of these securities and the related derivative instruments are recorded in Principal transactions.

Certain mortgage loans (HFS)
Citigroup has elected the fair value option for certain purchased and originated prime fixed-rate and conforming adjustable-rate first mortgage loans HFS. These loans are intended for sale or securitization and are hedged with derivative instruments. The Company has elected the fair value option to mitigate accounting mismatches in cases where hedge accounting is complex and to achieve operational simplifications.

The following table provides information about certain mortgage loans HFS carried at fair value at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

The changes in fair values of these mortgage loans are reported in Other revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. There was no net change in fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 due to instrument-specific credit risk. Related interest income continues to be measured based on the contractual interest rates and reported as Interest revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Certain consolidated VIEs
The Company has elected the fair value option for all qualified assets and liabilities of certain VIEs that were consolidated upon the adoption of SFAS 167 on January 1, 2010, including certain private label mortgage securitizations, mutual fund deferred sales commissions and collateralized loan obligation VIEs. The Company elected the fair value option for these VIEs, as the Company believes this method better reflects the economic risks, since substantially all of the Company’s retained interests in these entities are carried at fair value.
With respect to the consolidated mortgage VIEs, the Company determined the fair value for the mortgage loans and long-term debt utilizing internal valuation techniques. The fair value of the long-term debt measured using internal valuation techniques is verified, where possible, to prices obtained from
 
independent vendors. Vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply matrix pricing for similar securities when no price is observable. Security pricing associated with long-term debt that is valued using observable inputs is classified as Level 2, and debt that is valued using one or more significant unobservable inputs is classified as Level 3. The fair value of mortgage loans in each VIE is derived from the security pricing. When substantially all of the long-term debt of a VIE is valued using Level 2 inputs, the corresponding mortgage loans are classified as Level 2. Otherwise, the mortgage loans of a VIE are classified as Level 3.
With respect to the consolidated mortgage VIEs for which the fair value option was elected, the mortgage loans are classified as Loans on Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The changes in fair value of the loans are reported as Other revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Related interest revenue is measured based on the contractual interest rates and reported as Interest revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Information about these mortgage loans is included in the table below. The change in fair value of these loans due to instrument-specific credit risk was a loss of $25 million and $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.


207



The debt issued by these consolidated VIEs is classified as long-term debt on Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The changes in fair value for the majority of these liabilities are reported in Other revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Related interest expense is measured based on the contractual interest rates and reported as Interest
 
expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of long-term debt of these consolidated VIEs exceeded the aggregate fair value by $210 million and $223 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Certain structured liabilities
The Company has elected the fair value option for certain structured liabilities whose performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation, currency, equity, referenced credit or commodity risks (structured liabilities). The Company elected the fair value option, because these exposures are considered
 
to be trading-related positions and, therefore, are managed on a fair value basis. These positions will continue to be classified as debt, deposits or derivatives (Trading account liabilities) on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet according to their legal form.

The change in fair value for these structured liabilities is reported in Principal transactions in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Changes in fair value for these structured liabilities include an economic component for accrued interest, which is included in the change in fair value reported in Principal transactions.



208



Certain non-structured liabilities
The Company has elected the fair value option for certain non-structured liabilities with fixed and floating interest rates (non-structured liabilities). The Company has elected the fair value option where the interest-rate risk of such liabilities is economically hedged with derivative contracts or the proceeds are used to purchase financial assets that will also be accounted for at fair value through earnings. The election has been made to mitigate accounting mismatches and to achieve operational simplifications. These positions are reported in Short-term borrowings and Long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in fair value for these non-structured liabilities is reported in Principal transactions in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Related interest expense on non-structured liabilities is measured based on the contractual interest rates and reported as Interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

24.   GUARANTEES AND COMMITMENTS
Citi provides a variety of guarantees and indemnifications to its customers to enhance their credit standing and enable them to complete a wide variety of business transactions. For certain contracts meeting the definition of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize, at inception, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.
In addition, the guarantor must disclose the maximum potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee, if there were a total
default by the guaranteed parties. The determination of the maximum potential future payments is based on the notional amount of the guarantees without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. As such, Citi believes such amounts bear no relationship to the anticipated losses, if any, on these guarantees.
The following tables present information about Citi’s guarantees at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

210



Financial standby letters of credit
Citi issues standby letters of credit which substitute its own credit for that of the borrower. If a letter of credit is drawn down, the borrower is obligated to repay Citi. Standby letters of credit protect a third party from defaults on contractual obligations. Financial standby letters of credit include: (i) guarantees of payment of insurance premiums and reinsurance risks that support industrial revenue bond underwriting; (ii) settlement of payment obligations to clearing houses, including futures and over-the-counter derivatives clearing (see further discussion below); (iii) support options and purchases of securities in lieu of escrow deposit accounts; and (iv) letters of credit that backstop loans, credit facilities, promissory notes and trade acceptances.

Performance guarantees
Performance guarantees and letters of credit are issued to guarantee a customer’s tender bid on a construction or systems-installation project or to guarantee completion of such projects in accordance with contract terms. They are also issued to support a customer’s obligation to supply specified products, commodities, or maintenance or warranty services to a third party.

Derivative instruments considered to be guarantees
Derivatives are financial instruments whose cash flows are based on a notional amount and an underlying instrument, reference credit or index, where there is little or no initial investment, and whose terms require or permit net settlement. For a discussion of Citi’s derivatives activities, see Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Derivative instruments considered to be guarantees include only those instruments that require Citi to make payments to the counterparty based on changes in an underlying instrument, that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity security held by the guaranteed party. More specifically, derivative instruments considered to be guarantees include certain over-the-counter written put options where the counterparty is not a bank, hedge fund or broker-dealer (such counterparties are considered to be dealers in these markets and may, therefore, not hold the underlying instruments). Credit derivatives sold by Citi are excluded from the tables above as they are disclosed separately in Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In instances where Citi’s maximum potential future payment is unlimited, the notional amount of the contract is disclosed.

Loans sold with recourse
Loans sold with recourse represent Citi’s obligations to reimburse the buyers for loan losses under certain circumstances. Recourse refers to the clause in a sales agreement under which a seller/lender will fully reimburse the buyer/investor for any losses resulting from the purchased loans. This may be accomplished by the seller taking back any loans that become delinquent.
In addition to the amounts shown in the tables above, Citi has recorded a repurchase reserve for its potential
 
repurchases or make-whole liability regarding residential mortgage representation and warranty claims related to its whole loan sales to the U.S. government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) and, to a lesser extent, private investors. The repurchase reserve was approximately $333 million and $341 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and these amounts are included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Securities lending indemnifications
Owners of securities frequently lend those securities for a fee to other parties who may sell them short or deliver them to another party to satisfy some other obligation. Banks may administer such securities lending programs for their clients. Securities lending indemnifications are issued by the bank to guarantee that a securities lending customer will be made whole in the event that the security borrower does not return the security subject to the lending agreement and collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the security.

Credit card merchant processing
Credit card merchant processing guarantees represent the Company’s indirect obligations in connection with: (i) providing transaction processing services to various merchants with respect to its private-label cards; and (ii) potential liability for bank card transaction processing services. The nature of the liability in either case arises as a result of a billing dispute between a merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder’s favor. The merchant is liable to refund the amount to the cardholder. In general, if the credit card processing company is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, the credit card processing company bears the loss for the amount of the credit or refund paid to the cardholder.
With regard to (i) above, Citi has the primary contingent liability with respect to its portfolio of private-label merchants. The risk of loss is mitigated as the cash flows between Citi and the merchant are settled on a net basis and Citi has the right to offset any payments with cash flows otherwise due to the merchant. To further mitigate this risk, Citi may delay settlement, require a merchant to make an escrow deposit, include event triggers to provide Citi with more financial and operational control in the event of the financial deterioration of the merchant or require various credit enhancements (including letters of credit and bank guarantees). In the unlikely event that a private-label merchant is unable to deliver products, services or a refund to its private-label cardholders, Citi is contingently liable to credit or refund cardholders.
With regard to (ii) above, Citi has a potential liability for bank card transactions where Citi provides the transaction processing services as well as those where a third party provides the services and Citi acts as a secondary guarantor, should that processor fail to perform.
Citi’s maximum potential contingent liability related to both bank card and private-label merchant processing services is estimated to be the total volume of credit card transactions that meet the requirements to be valid charge-


211



back transactions at any given time. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, this maximum potential exposure was estimated to be $82 billion and $86 billion, respectively.
However, Citi believes that the maximum exposure is not representative of the actual potential loss exposure based on its historical experience. This contingent liability is unlikely to arise, as most products and services are delivered when purchased and amounts are refunded when items are returned to merchants. Citi assesses the probability and amount of its contingent liability related to merchant processing based on the financial strength of the primary guarantor, the extent and nature of unresolved charge-backs and its historical loss experience. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the losses incurred and the carrying amounts of Citi’s contingent obligations related to merchant processing activities were immaterial.

Custody indemnifications
Custody indemnifications are issued to guarantee that custody clients will be made whole in the event that a third party subcustodian or depository institution fails to safeguard clients’ assets.

Other guarantees and indemnifications
Credit Card Protection Programs
Citi, through its credit card businesses, provides various cardholder protection programs on several of its card products, including programs that provide insurance coverage for rental cars, coverage for certain losses associated with purchased products, price protection for certain purchases and protection for lost luggage. These guarantees are not included in the table, since the total outstanding amount of the guarantees and Citi’s maximum exposure to loss cannot be quantified. The protection is limited to certain types of purchases and losses, and it is not possible to quantify the purchases that would qualify for these benefits at any given time. Citi assesses the probability and amount of its potential liability related to these programs based on the extent and nature of its historical loss experience. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the actual and estimated losses incurred and the carrying value of Citi’s obligations related to these programs were immaterial.

Other Representation and Warranty Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, Citi provides standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with numerous transactions and also provides indemnifications, including indemnifications that protect the counterparties to the contracts in the event that additional taxes are owed due either to a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law. Counterparties to these transactions provide Citi with comparable indemnifications. While such representations, warranties and indemnifications are essential components of many contractual relationships, they do not represent the underlying business purpose for the transactions. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms related to Citi’s own performance under the terms of a contract and are entered into in the normal
 
course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss is remote. Often these clauses are intended to ensure that terms of a contract are met at inception. No compensation is received for these standard representations and warranties, and it is not possible to determine their fair value because they rarely, if ever, result in a payment. In many cases, there are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses, and the contingencies potentially triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. As a result, these indemnifications are not included in the tables above.

Value-Transfer Networks
Citi is a member of, or shareholder in, hundreds of value-transfer networks (VTNs) (payment, clearing and settlement systems as well as exchanges) around the world. As a condition of membership, many of these VTNs require that members stand ready to pay a pro rata share of the losses incurred by the organization due to another member’s default on its obligations. Citi’s potential obligations may be limited to its membership interests in the VTNs, contributions to the VTN’s funds, or, in limited cases, the obligation may be unlimited. The maximum exposure cannot be estimated as this would require an assessment of future claims that have not yet occurred. Citi believes the risk of loss is remote given historical experience with the VTNs. Accordingly, Citi’s participation in VTNs is not reported in the guarantees tables above, and there are no amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013 for potential obligations that could arise from Citi’s involvement with VTN associations.

Long-Term Care Insurance Indemnification
In the sale of an insurance subsidiary, the Company provided an indemnification to an insurance company for policyholder claims and other liabilities relating to a book of long-term care (LTC) business (for the entire term of the LTC policies) that is fully reinsured by another insurance company. The reinsurer has funded two trusts with securities whose fair value (approximately $5.8 billion at March 31, 2014, compared to $5.4 billion at December 31, 2013) is designed to cover the insurance company’s statutory liabilities for the LTC policies. The assets in these trusts are evaluated and adjusted periodically to ensure that the fair value of the assets continues to cover the estimated statutory liabilities related to the LTC policies, as those statutory liabilities change over time.
If the reinsurer fails to perform under the reinsurance agreement for any reason, including insolvency, and the assets in the two trusts are insufficient or unavailable to the ceding insurance company, then Citi must indemnify the ceding insurance company for any losses actually incurred in connection with the LTC policies. Since both events would have to occur before Citi would become responsible for any payment to the ceding insurance company pursuant to its indemnification obligation, and the likelihood of such events occurring is currently not probable, there is no liability reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 related to this indemnification.


212



Citi continues to closely monitor its potential exposure under this indemnification obligation.

Carrying Value—Guarantees and Indemnifications
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total carrying amounts of the liabilities related to the guarantees and indemnifications included in the tables above amounted to approximately $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. The carrying value of financial and performance guarantees is included in Other liabilities. For loans sold with recourse, the carrying value of the liability is included in Other liabilities.

Futures and over-the-counter derivatives clearing
Citi provides clearing services for clients executing exchange traded futures and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives contracts with central counterparties (CCPs). Based on all relevant facts and circumstances, Citi has concluded that it acts as an agent for accounting purposes in its role as clearing member for these client transactions. As such, Citi does not reflect the underlying exchange traded futures or OTC derivatives contracts in its Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 21 for a discussion of Citi’s derivatives activities that are reflected in its Consolidated Financial Statements.
As a clearing member, Citi collects and remits cash and securities collateral (margin) between its clients and the respective CCP. There are two types of margin: initial margin and variation margin. Where Citi obtains benefits from or controls cash initial margin (e.g., retains an interest spread), cash initial margin collected from clients and remitted to the CCP is reflected within Brokerage Payables (payables to customers) and Brokerage Receivables (receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations), respectively. However, for OTC derivatives contracts where Citi has contractually agreed with the client that (a) Citi will pass through to the client all interest paid by the CCP on cash initial margin; (b) Citi will not utilize its right as clearing member to transform cash margin into other assets; and (c) Citi does not guarantee and is not liable to the client for the performance of the CCP, cash initial margin collected from clients and remitted to the CCP is not reflected on Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The total amount of cash initial margin collected and remitted in this manner was approximately $2.7 billion and $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Variation margin due from clients to the respective CCP, or from the CCP to clients, reflects changes in the value of the client’s derivatives contracts for each trading day. As a clearing member, Citi is exposed to the risk of non-performance by clients (e.g., failure of a client to post variation margin to the CCP for negative changes in the
 
value of the client’s derivatives contracts). In the event of non-performance by a client, Citi would move to close out the client’s positions. The CCP would typically utilize initial margin posted by the client and held by the CCP, with any remaining shortfalls required to be paid by Citi as clearing member. Citi generally holds incremental cash or securities margin posted by the client, which would typically be expected to be sufficient to mitigate Citi’s credit risk in the event the client fails to perform.
As required by ASC 860-30-25-5, securities collateral posted by clients is not recognized on Citi’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Collateral
Cash collateral available to Citi to reimburse losses realized under these guarantees and indemnifications amounted to $64 billion and $52 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Securities and other marketable assets held as collateral amounted to $51 billion and $39 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The majority of collateral is held to reimburse losses realized under securities lending indemnifications. Additionally, letters of credit in favor of Citi held as collateral amounted to $5.4 billion and $5.3 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Other property may also be available to Citi to cover losses under certain guarantees and indemnifications; however, the value of such property has not been determined.

Performance risk
Citi evaluates the performance risk of its guarantees based on the assigned referenced counterparty internal or external ratings. Where external ratings are used, investment-grade ratings are considered to be Baa/BBB and above, while anything below is considered non-investment grade. Citi’s internal ratings are in line with the related external rating system. On certain underlying referenced assets or entities, ratings are not available. Such referenced assets are included in the “not rated” category. The maximum potential amount of the future payments related to the outstanding guarantees is determined to be the notional amount of these contracts, which is the par amount of the assets guaranteed.
Presented in the tables below are the maximum potential amounts of future payments that are classified based upon internal and external credit ratings as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As previously mentioned, the determination of the maximum potential future payments is based on the notional amount of the guarantees without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. As such, Citi believes such amounts bear no relationship to the anticipated losses, if any, on these guarantees.

The majority of unused commitments are contingent upon customers’ maintaining specific credit standards. Commercial commitments generally have floating interest rates and fixed expiration dates and may require payment of fees. Such fees (net of certain direct costs) are deferred and, upon exercise of the commitment, amortized over the life of the loan or, if exercise is deemed remote, amortized over the commitment period.

Commercial and similar letters of credit
A commercial letter of credit is an instrument by which Citigroup substitutes its credit for that of a customer to enable the customer to finance the purchase of goods or to incur other commitments. Citigroup issues a letter on behalf of its client to a supplier and agrees to pay the supplier upon presentation of documentary evidence that the supplier has performed in accordance with the terms of the letter of credit. When a letter of credit is drawn, the customer is then required to reimburse Citigroup.

One- to four-family residential mortgages
A one- to four-family residential mortgage commitment is a written confirmation from Citigroup to a seller of a property that the bank will advance the specified sums enabling the buyer to complete the purchase.

Revolving open-end loans secured by one- to four-family
residential properties
Revolving open-end loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties are essentially home equity lines of credit. A home equity line of credit is a loan secured by a primary residence or second home to the extent of the excess of fair market value over the debt outstanding for the first mortgage.

Commercial real estate, construction and land development
Commercial real estate, construction and land development include unused portions of commitments to extend credit for the purpose of financing commercial and multifamily residential properties as well as land development projects.
Both secured-by-real-estate and unsecured commitments are included in this line, as well as
 

undistributed loan proceeds, where there is an obligation to advance for construction progress payments. However, this line only includes those extensions of credit that, once funded, will be classified as Total loans, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Credit card lines
Citigroup provides credit to customers by issuing credit cards. The credit card lines are cancellable by providing notice to the cardholder or without such notice as permitted by local law.

Commercial and other consumer loan commitments
Commercial and other consumer loan commitments include overdraft and liquidity facilities, as well as commercial commitments to make or purchase loans, to purchase third-party receivables, to provide note issuance or revolving underwriting facilities and to invest in the form of equity. Amounts include $56 billion and $58 billion with an original maturity of less than one year at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
In addition, included in this line item are highly leveraged financing commitments, which are agreements that provide funding to a borrower with higher levels of debt (measured by the ratio of debt capital to equity capital of the borrower) than is generally considered normal for other companies. This type of financing is commonly employed in corporate acquisitions, management buy-outs and similar transactions.

Other commitments and contingencies
Other commitments and contingencies include all other transactions related to commitments and contingencies not reported on the lines above.

25.   CONTINGENCIES

The following information supplements and amends, as applicable, the disclosures in Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Citigroup's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For purposes of this Note, Citigroup, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and current and former officers, directors and employees, are sometimes collectively referred to as Citigroup and Related Parties.
In accordance with ASC 450, Citigroup establishes accruals for contingencies, including the litigation and regulatory matters disclosed herein, when Citigroup believes it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The amount of loss ultimately incurred in relation to those matters may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those matters.
If Citigroup has not accrued for a matter because the matter does not meet the criteria for accrual (as set forth above), or Citigroup believes an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued for a particular matter, in each case assuming a material loss is reasonably possible, Citigroup discloses the matter. In addition, for such matters, Citigroup discloses an estimate of the aggregate reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued for those matters as to which an estimate can be made. At March 31, 2014, Citigroup's estimate was materially unchanged from its estimate of approximately $5 billion at December 31, 2013, as more fully described in Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As available information changes, the matters for which Citigroup is able to estimate will change, and the estimates themselves will change. In addition, while many estimates presented in financial statements and other financial disclosure involve significant judgment and may be subject to significant uncertainty, estimates of the range of reasonably possible loss arising from litigation and regulatory proceedings are subject to particular uncertainties. For example, at the time of making an estimate, Citigroup may have only preliminary, incomplete or inaccurate information about the facts underlying the claim; its assumptions about the future rulings of the court or other tribunal on significant issues, or the behavior and incentives of adverse parties or regulators, may prove to be wrong; and the outcomes it is attempting to predict are often not amenable to the use of statistical or other quantitative analytical tools. In addition, from time to time an outcome may occur that Citigroup had not accounted for in its estimates because it had deemed such an outcome to be remote. For all these reasons, the amount of loss in excess of accruals ultimately incurred for the matters as to which an estimate has been made could be substantially higher or lower than the range of loss included in the estimate.
Subject to the foregoing, it is the opinion of Citigroup's management, based on current knowledge and after taking into account its current legal accruals, that the eventual outcome of all matters described in this Note would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of Citigroup. Nonetheless, given the substantial or
 
indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters, and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, an adverse outcome in certain of these matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on Citigroup’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.
For further information on ASC 450 and Citigroup's accounting and disclosure framework for contingencies, including for litigation and regulatory matters disclosed herein, see Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Citigroup’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Credit Crisis-Related Litigation and Other Matters

Mortgage-Related Litigation and Other Matters
Mortgage-Backed Securities and CDO Investor Actions: Certain of the actions brought by purchasers of MBS sponsored, underwritten, or sold by Citigroup have been resolved through settlement and dismissed with prejudice. Additional information relating to these actions is publicly available in court filings under the docket numbers 10-CH-45033 (Ill. Cir. Ct.) (Pantle, J.), LC 091499 (Cal. Super. Ct.) (Mohr, J.), and 12 Civ. 1059 (C.D. Cal.) (Pfaelzer, J.).
As of March 31, 2014, the aggregate original purchase amount of the purchases at issue in the pending MBS and CDO investor suits is approximately $7.2 billion, and the aggregate original purchase amount of the purchases covered by tolling agreements with MBS and CDO investors threatening litigation is approximately $1.4 billion. 
Mortgage-Backed Security Repurchase Claims: As previously disclosed, on April 7, 2014, Citigroup entered into an agreement with 18 institutional investors, represented by Gibbs & Bruns LLP, regarding the resolution of representation and warranty repurchase claims related to certain legacy securitizations.  Under the agreement, Citigroup will make a binding offer to the trustees of 68 Citigroup-sponsored mortgage securitization trusts to pay $1.125 billion to the trusts to resolve these claims, plus certain fees and expenses.  The 68 trusts covered by the agreement issued $59.4 billion of residential MBS and represent all of the trusts established by Citigroup’s legacy Securities and Banking business during 2005-2008 for which Citigroup affiliates made representations and warranties to the trusts. The agreement is conditioned on acceptance by the trustees and subject to court approval if sought by the trustees, and would release Citigroup’s obligation to repurchase mortgage loans sold into the trusts, or make the trusts whole, for outstanding or potential claims for breaches of representations and warranties on the loans.  The agreement does not address mortgage loans sold through private-label securitization trusts sponsored by Citigroup’s consumer mortgage business related to CitiMortgage, Inc.
On April 8, 2014, U.S. Bank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee, filed a complaint in U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION v. CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS REALTY CORP., seeking to enforce contractual repurchase claims in connection with mortgage loans that were securitized into the CMLTI 2007-AHL2 securitization.  Additional information relating to this action is publicly

available in court filings under the docket number 653816/2013 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.). 

Alternative Investment Fund-Related Litigation and Other Matters
On March 7, 2014, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an opinion in BEACH, ET AL. v. CITIGROUP ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS LLC, ET AL., granting in part and denying in part the motions to dismiss filed by Citigroup and other defendants.  Additional information concerning this action is publicly available in court filings under the docket number 12 Civ. 7717 (S.D.N.Y.) (Woods, J.).

KIKOs
Prior to the devaluation of the Korean won in 2008, several local banks in Korea, including Citibank Korea Inc. (CKI), entered into foreign exchange derivative transactions with small and medium-size export businesses (SMEs) to enable the SMEs to hedge their currency risk. The derivatives had "knock-in, knock-out" features. Following the devaluation of the won, many of these SMEs incurred significant losses on the derivative transactions and filed civil lawsuits against the banks, including CKI. The claims generally allege that the products were not suitable and that the risk disclosure was inadequate.
As of March 31, 2014, there were 103 civil lawsuits filed by SMEs against CKI. To date, 90 decisions have been rendered at the district court level, and CKI has prevailed in 70 of those decisions. In the other 20 decisions, plaintiffs were awarded only a portion of the damages sought. The damage awards total in the aggregate approximately $36.8 million. CKI is appealing the 20 adverse decisions. A significant number of plaintiffs that had decisions rendered against them are also filing appeals, including plaintiffs that were awarded less than all of the damages they sought.
Of the 90 cases decided at the district court level, 64 have been appealed to the high court, including the 20 in which an adverse decision was rendered against CKI in the district court. Of the 60 appeals decided or settled at high court level, CKI prevailed in 44 cases, and in the other 16 cases plaintiffs were awarded partial damages. As a result, the aggregate damages awarded against CKI decreased by approximately $10.6 million. CKI is appealing nine of the adverse decisions to the Korean Supreme Court and many plaintiffs have filed appeals to the Supreme Court as well.
As of March 31, 2014, the Supreme Court has rendered 11 judgments relating to CKI. CKI prevailed in nine cases. Plaintiffs were awarded partial damages in two cases. As a result, the aggregate damages awarded against CKI decreased by approximately $0.3 million.
After taking into account all decisions rendered through March 31, 2014 at the district court, high court, or Supreme Court levels, the damages awarded against CKI currently total in the aggregate approximately $25.9 million.

Foreign Exchange Matters
Antitrust and Other Litigation: On March 31, 2014, plaintiffs in putative class actions that are proceeding on a consolidated basis before Judge Lorna G. Schofield in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the caption IN RE FOREIGN EXCHANGE BENCHMARK RATES ANTITRUST LITIGATION filed a consolidated amended complaint. Plaintiffs allege that defendants colluded to manipulate the WM/Reuters rate (WMR), thereby causing the putative class to suffer losses in connection with WMR-based financial instruments. Plaintiffs assert a federal antitrust claim and seek compensatory damages, treble damages, and declaratory and injunctive relief. Additional information concerning the consolidated action is publicly available in court filings under the docket number 1:13-cv-7789.
Additionally, Citibank, N.A. and Citigroup, as well as numerous other foreign exchange dealers, are named as defendants in a putative class action captioned LARSEN v.

Plaintiff asserts claims under federal and state antitrust law and RICO, as well as claims under other state law theories, and seeks compensatory damages, treble damages where authorized by statute, and declaratory and injunctive relief. Additional information concerning this action is publicly available in court filings under the docket number 4:14-cv-01493 (N.D. Cal.).

 
Oceanografía Fraud
On February 28, 2014, Citigroup announced that it was adjusting downward its earnings for the fourth quarter of 2013 and full year ended 2013 by $235 million after tax ($360 million pretax) as a result of a fraud discovered in a Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) supplier program involving Oceanografía SA de CV (OSA), a Mexican oil services company and a key supplier to Pemex (for additional information, see Citigroup’s Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 28, 2014 and its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K). During the first quarter of 2014, Citigroup incurred approximately $165 million of incremental credit costs related to the Pemex supplier program. The vast majority of the credit costs were associated with Citigroup’s $33 million of direct exposure to OSA as of December 31, 2013 and uncertainty about Pemex’s obligation to pay Citigroup for a portion of the accounts receivable Citigroup validated with Pemex as of year-end 2013 (approximately $113 million). The remaining incremental credit costs were associated with an additional supplier to Pemex within the Pemex supplier program that was found to have similar issues.
In the United States, the SEC has commenced a formal investigation and the Department of Justice has requested information regarding Banamex’s dealings with OSA. In Mexico, the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission has commenced an in situ extraordinary review. Citigroup is cooperating fully with these inquiries.

Settlement Payments
Payments required in settlement agreements described above have been made or are covered by existing litigation accruals.
