GLOBAL CONSUMER BANKING
Global Consumer Banking (GCB) consists of Citigroup’s four geographical consumer banking businesses that provide traditional banking services to
retail customers through retail banking, commercial banking, Citi-branded cards and Citi retail services (for additional information on these businesses, see
“Citigroup Segments” above). GCB is a globally diversified business with 3,280 branches in 35 countries around the world as of December 31, 2014. For the year
ended December 31, 2014, GCB had $399 billion of average assets and $331 billion of average deposits.
    GCB’s overall strategy is to leverage Citi’s global footprint and seek 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.
    Consistent with its strategy to continue to optimize its branch footprint and further concentrate its presence in major metropolitan areas, during 2014, Citi
announced that it intends to exit its consumer businesses in the following markets: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama and Peru (in
Latin America); Japan, Guam and its consumer finance business in Korea (in Asia); and the Czech Republic, Egypt and Hungary (in EMEA). Citi expects to
substantially complete its exit from these businesses by the end of 2015. These consumer businesses, consisting of $28 billion of assets, $7 billion of consumer
loans and $3 billion of deposits (excluding approximately $21 billion of deposits reclassified to held-for-sale as a result of Citi’s agreement in December 2014
to sell its Japan retail banking business) as of December 31, 2014, contributed approximately $1.6 billion of revenues, $1.4 billion of expenses and a net loss of
$40 million in 2014, with the loss primarily attributable to repositioning and other actions directly related to the exit plans. These businesses will be reported as
part of Citi Holdings beginning in the first quarter of 2015. For additional information, see “Executive Summary” above and “Latin America GCB” and “Asia
GCB” below.

results of operations, excluding the impact of FX translation, are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes the presentation of EMEA GCB’s results

The discussion of the results of operations for Latin America GCB below excludes the impact of FX translation for all periods presented. Presentations
of the results of operations, excluding the impact of FX translation, are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes the presentation of Latin America
GCB’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.

repositioning savings.
    Provisions increased 7%, primarily due to higher net credit losses, which
were partially offset by a lower loan loss reserve build. Net credit losses
increased 22%, driven by portfolio growth and continued seasoning in the
Mexico cards portfolio. Net credit losses were also impacted by both the
slower economic growth and fiscal reforms in Mexico (as discussed above)
as well as a $71 million charge-off in the fourth quarter of 2014 related to
Citi’s homebuilder exposure in Mexico, which was offset by a related release
of previously established loan loss reserves and thus neutral to the cost of
credit. The continued impact of the fiscal reforms and economic slowdown
in Mexico is likely to cause net credit losses in Latin America GCB to
remain elevated.

The discussion of the results of operations for Asia GCB below excludes the impact of FX translation for all periods presented. Presentations of the results
of operations, excluding the impact of FX translation, are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes the presentation of Asia GCB’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.

    While repositioning in Korea continued to have a negative impact on
year-over-year revenue comparisons in Asia GCB, revenues in Korea largely
stabilized in the second half of 2014. Citi expects spread compression and
regulatory changes in several markets across the region will continue to have
a negative impact on Asia GCB revenues in 2015.
    Expenses increased 9%, primarily due to higher repositioning charges in
Korea, investment spending and volume-related growth, partially offset by
higher efficiency savings.
    Provisions decreased 17%, primarily due to higher loan loss reserve
releases. Overall credit quality remained stable across the region during 2014.

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 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. 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.
   ICG’s international presence is supported by trading floors in approximately 80 countries and a proprietary network in over 95 countries and jurisdictions. At
December 31, 2014, ICG had approximately $1.0 trillion of assets and $559 billion of deposits, while two of its businesses, securities services and issuer services,
managed approximately $16.2 trillion of assets under custody compared to $14.3 trillion at the end of 2013.
   As previously announced, Citi intends to exit certain businesses in ICG, including hedge fund services within Securities services, the prepaid cards business
in Treasury and trade solutions, certain transfer agency operations and wealth management administration. These businesses, consisting of approximately
$4 billion of assets and deposits as of December 31, 2014, contributed approximately $460 million of revenues, $600 million of operating expenses and a net
loss of $80 million in 2014, with roughly half of the pre-tax loss primarily attributable to repositioning and other actions directly related to the exit plans. These
businesses will be reported as part of Citi Holdings beginning in the first quarter of 2015. For additional information, see “Executive Summary” above.

    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 for all periods presented. Presentations of the results of
operations, excluding the impact of CVA/DVA and the impact of gains/(losses) on hedges on accrual loans, 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.

CITI HOLDINGS
Citi Holdings contains businesses and portfolios of assets that Citigroup has determined are not central to its core Citicorp businesses. Consistent with this
determination, as previously announced, beginning in the first quarter of 2015, Citi’s consumer operations in 11 markets, as well as the consumer finance
business in Korea, and certain businesses in ICG, will be reported as part of Citi Holdings (see “Executive Summary,” “Global Consumer Banking” and
“Institutional Clients Group” above).
    As of December 31, 2014, Citi Holdings assets were approximately $98 billion, a decrease of 16% year-over-year and 5% from September 30, 2014. The decline
in assets of $5 billion from September 30, 2014 primarily consisted of divestitures and run-off. As of December 31, 2014, consumer assets in Citi Holdings were
approximately $87 billion, or approximately 89% of Citi Holdings assets. Of the consumer assets, approximately $59 billion, or 68%, consisted of North America
mortgages (residential first mortgages and home equity loans), including consumer mortgages originated by Citi’s legacy CitiFinancial North America business
(approximately $10 billion, or 17%, of the $59 billion as of December 31, 2014). As of December 31, 2014, Citi Holdings represented approximately 5% of Citi’s
GAAP assets and 14% of its 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. Presentations 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.

impact of the mortgage settlement in July 2014 (see “Executive Summary”                  by legacy private-label securitization and other mortgage-related issues,

(1) The supplemental information presented in the table above reflects Citigroup’s consolidated GAAP balance sheet by reporting segment as of December 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.
(4) Reflects reclassification of approximately $21 billion of deposits to held-for-sale (Other liabilities) at December 31, 2014 as a result of the agreement to sell Citi’s retail banking business in Japan.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The following table includes information on Citigroup’s contractual obligations, as specified and aggregated pursuant to SEC requirements.
(1) For additional information about long-term debt obligations, see “Managing Global Risk—Market Risk—Funding and Liquidity” below and Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt for 2015—2019 are calculated by applying the December 31, 2014 weighted- average interest rate (3.34%) on average outstanding long-term
    debt to the average remaining contractual obligations on long-term debt for each of those years. The “Thereafter” interest payments on long-term debt for the remaining years to maturity (for 2020—2098) are
    calculated by applying interest rates on the remaining contractual obligations on long-term debt for each of those years.
(3) Purchase obligations consist of obligations to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on Citi. For presentation purposes, purchase obligations are included in the table above through the
    termination date of the respective agreements, even if the contract is renewable. Many of the purchase agreements for goods or services include clauses that would allow Citi to cancel the agreement with specified
    notice; however, that impact is not included in the table above (unless Citi has already notified the counterparty of its intention to terminate the agreement).
(4) Other liabilities reflected on Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet includes accounts payable, accrued expenses, uncertain tax positions and other liabilities that have been incurred and will ultimately be paid in
    cash; legal reserve accruals are not included in the table above. Also includes discretionary contributions in 2015 for Citi’s non-U.S. pension plans and the non-U.S. postretirement plans, as well as employee benefit
    obligations accounted for under SFAS 87 (ASC 715), SFAS 106 (ASC 715) and SFAS 112 (ASC 712).

(1) The Final Basel III Rules do not address GSIBs. The transitional progression reflected in the chart above is consistent with the phase-in arrangement under the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s (Basel
    Committee) GSIB rules, which would subject Citi to at least a 2% GSIB surcharge. In December 2014, however, the Federal Reserve Board issued a notice of proposed rulemaking which would impose risk-based
    capital surcharges upon U.S. bank holding companies that are identified as GSIBs, including Citi. As of December 31, 2014, Citi estimates its GSIB surcharge under the Federal Reserve Board’s proposal would be 4%,
    compared to at least 2% under the Basel Committee requirements. For additional information regarding the Federal Reserve Board’s proposed rule, see “Regulatory Capital Standards Developments” below.
                                                                                                          37
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.
Basel III Transition Arrangements: Significant Regulatory Capital Adjustments and Deductions
                                                                                                                                                                               January 1

  Phase-in of Significant Regulatory Capital Adjustments and Deductions
(1) Includes the phase-in of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital deductions for all intangible assets other than goodwill and mortgage servicing rights (MSRs); and excess over 10%/15% limitations for deferred tax assets
    (DTAs) arising from temporary differences, significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions and MSRs. Goodwill (including goodwill “embedded” in the valuation of significant common
    stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions) is fully deducted in arriving at Common Equity Tier 1 Capital commencing January 1, 2014. The amount of other intangible assets, aside from MSRs, not
    deducted in arriving at Common Equity Tier 1 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 Common Equity Tier 1 Capital are risk-weighted at 250%.
(2) Includes the phase-in of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital deductions related to DTAs arising from net operating loss, foreign tax credit and general business credit carry-forwards and defined benefit pension plan net
    assets; and the phase-in of the Common Equity Tier 1 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 Common Equity Tier 1 Capital.
(4) Includes the phase-out from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital of adjustments related to unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities; unrealized gains on AFS equity securities; unrealized gains
    (losses) on held-to-maturity (HTM) securities included in AOCI; and defined benefit plans liability adjustment.
                                                                                                               38
Citigroup’s Capital Resources Under Current
Regulatory Standards
During 2014, Citi was required to maintain stated minimum Common
Equity Tier 1 Capital, 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 (reflecting Basel III Transition Arrangements) for Citi as
of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Citigroup Capital Components and Ratios Under Current Regulatory Standards (Basel III Transition Arrangements)
(1) Pro forma presentation based on application of the Final Basel III Rules consistent with current period presentation.
(2) Basel III 2014 Standardized Approach which reflects the application of the Basel I credit risk and Basel II.5 market risk capital rules.
(3) Under the Advanced Approaches framework eligible credit reserves that exceed expected credit losses are eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital to the extent the excess reserves do not exceed 0.6% of credit risk-
    weighted assets, which differs from the Standardized Approach in which the allowance for credit losses is includable in Tier 2 Capital up to 1.25% of credit risk-weighted assets, with any excess allowance for credit
    losses being deducted in arriving at credit risk-weighted assets.
(4) Tier 1 Leverage ratio denominator.
(5) As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Citi’s reportable Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Tier 1 Capital, and Total Capital ratios were the lower derived under the Basel III Advanced Approaches framework.
                                                                                                             39

(Basel III Advanced Approaches with Transition Arrangements)
                                                                                            40
Citigroup Risk-Weighted Assets (Basel III Advanced Approaches with Transition Arrangements)
(1) Pro forma presentation of regulatory capital components and tiers based on application of the Final Basel III Rules consistent with current period presentation.
(2) Issuance costs of $124 million and $93 million related to preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are excluded from common stockholders’ equity and netted against
     preferred stock in accordance with Federal Reserve Board regulatory reporting requirements, which differ from those under U.S. GAAP.
(3) In addition, includes the net amount of unamortized loss on held-to-maturity (HTM) securities. This amount relates to securities that were previously transferred from AFS to HTM, and non-credit related factors such as
     changes in interest rates and liquidity spreads for HTM securities with other-than-temporary impairment.
(4) The transition arrangements for significant regulatory capital adjustments and deductions impacting Common Equity Tier 1 Capital and/or Additional Tier 1 Capital are set forth above in the table entitled “Basel III
     Transition Arrangements: Significant Regulatory Capital Adjustments and Deductions.”
(5) Common Equity Tier 1 Capital is adjusted for accumulated net unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI that relate to the hedging of items not recognized at fair value on the balance sheet.
(6) The cumulative impact of changes in Citigroup’s own creditworthiness in valuing liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected and own-credit valuation adjustments on derivatives are excluded from
     Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, in accordance with the Final Basel III Rules.
(7) Includes goodwill “embedded” in the valuation of significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions.
(8) Of Citi’s approximately $49.5 billion of net DTAs at December 31, 2014, approximately $25.5 billion of such assets were includable in regulatory capital pursuant to the Final Basel III Rules, while approximately
     $24.0 billion of such assets were excluded in arriving at regulatory capital. Comprising the excluded net DTAs was an aggregate of approximately $25.6 billion of net DTAs arising from net operating loss, foreign tax
     credit and general business credit carry-forwards as well as temporary differences, of which $14.4 billion were deducted from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital and $11.2 billion were deducted from Additional Tier 1
     Capital. In addition, approximately $1.6 billion of net DTLs, primarily consisting of DTLs associated with goodwill and certain other intangible assets, partially offset by DTAs related to cash flow hedges, are permitted to
     be excluded prior to deriving the amount of net DTAs subject to deduction under these rules. Separately, under the Final Basel III Rules, goodwill and these other intangible assets are deducted net of associated DTLs in
     arriving at Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, while Citi’s current cash flow hedges and the related deferred tax effects are not required to be reflected in regulatory capital.
(9) Aside from MSRs, reflects DTAs arising from temporary differences and significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions.
(10) Represents Citigroup Capital XIII trust preferred securities, which are permanently grandfathered as Tier 1 Capital under the Final Basel III Rules, as well as 50% of non-grandfathered trust preferred securities. The
     remaining 50% of non-grandfathered trust preferred securities are eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital during 2014 in accordance with the transition arrangements for non-qualifying capital instruments under the
     Final Basel III Rules.
(11) 50% of the minimum regulatory capital requirements of insurance underwriting subsidiaries must be deducted from each of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital.
(12) Under the transition arrangements of the Final Basel III Rules, non-qualifying subordinated debt issuances which consist of those with a fixed-to-floating rate step-up feature where the call/step-up date has not passed
     are eligible for 50% inclusion in Tier 2 Capital during 2014, with the threshold based upon the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of such issuances as of January 1, 2014.
(13) Advanced Approaches banking organizations are permitted to include in Tier 2 Capital eligible credit reserves that exceed expected credit losses to the extent that the excess reserves do not exceed 0.6% of credit
     risk-weighted assets.
(14) Risk-weighted assets at December 31, 2013 are presented on a pro forma basis, assuming the application of the Final Basel III Rules consistent with current period presentation, including the resultant impact on credit
     risk-weighted assets.
(15) Under the Final Basel III Rules, credit risk-weighted assets during the transition period reflect the effects of transitional arrangements related to regulatory capital adjustments and deductions and, as a result, will differ
     from credit risk-weighted assets derived under full implementation of the rules.
(16) During 2014, Citi’s operational risk-weighted assets were increased by $81 billion, of which $56 billion was in conjunction with the granting of permission by the Federal Reserve Board to exit the parallel run period
     and commence applying the Basel III Advanced Approaches framework, effective with the second quarter of 2014. Further, an additional $25 billion was recognized during the last six months of 2014, reflecting an
     evaluation of ongoing events in the banking industry.
                                                                                                                 41
Citigroup Capital Rollforward Under Current Regulatory Standards
(Basel III Advanced Approaches with Transition Arrangements)
(1)   Pro forma presentation based on application of the Final Basel III Rules consistent with current period presentation.
(2)   Primarily represents an increase in additional paid-in capital related to employee benefit plans.
(3)   Presented net of impact of transition arrangements related to unrealized losses on securities AFS and defined benefit plans liability adjustment under the Final Basel III Rules.
(4)   Citi issued approximately $3.7 billion and approximately $1.5 billion of qualifying perpetual preferred stock during the twelve months and three months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, which were partially
      offset by the netting of issuance costs of $31 million and $7 million during those periods.
                                                                                                             42
Citigroup Risk-Weighted Assets Rollforward (Basel III Advanced Approaches with Transition Arrangements)
(1) Total risk-weighted assets at the beginning of the period (i.e., as of December 31, 2013) are presented on a pro forma basis to reflect application of the Final Basel III Rules related to the effect of transition
    arrangements on regulatory capital components, consistent with current period presentation.
(2) Reflects the effect of adjusting credit risk-weighted assets at the beginning of the period from a Basel I basis to a Basel III Advanced Approaches basis; adjusting market risk-weighted assets from a Basel II.5 basis to a
    Basel III Advanced Approach basis; and including operational risk-weighted assets as required under the Basel III Advanced Approaches rules.
(3) Retail exposures decreased from year-end 2013, driven by reduction in loans and commitments, sale of consumer businesses in Spain and Greece and the impact of FX translation, offset by enhancements to credit
    risk models.
(4) Wholesale exposures decreased from September 30, 2014, driven by model parameter updates and reductions in loans and commitments. The increase from year-end 2013 was driven by enhancements to credit
    risk models.
(5) OTC derivatives decreased from September 30, 2014, driven by model parameter updates. The increase from year-end 2013 was largely due to enhancements to credit risk models, partially offset by model
    parameter updates.
(6) Other includes cleared transactions, unsettled transactions, assets other than those reportable in specific exposure categories and non-material portfolios of exposures.
(7) Supervisory 6% multiplier does not apply to derivatives CVA.
(8) Market risk-weighted assets risk levels decreased from year-end 2013 driven by movement in securitization positions from trading book to banking book, as well as reductions in inventory positions.
(9) During the first quarter of 2014, Citi increased operational risk-weighted assets by $56 billion in conjunction with the granting of permission by the Federal Reserve Board to exit the parallel run period and commence
    applying the Basel III Advanced Approaches framework, effective with the second quarter of 2014. Citi’s operational risk-weighted assets were further increased by $12.5 billion during each of the third and fourth
    quarters of 2014, reflecting an evaluation of ongoing events in the banking industry.
                                                                                                              43

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 Common Equity
Tier 1 Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital (numerator), and changes of
$1 billion in Advanced Approaches and Standardized Approach risk-weighted
assets as well as quarterly adjusted average total assets (denominator),
under current regulatory capital standards (reflecting Basel III Transition
Arrangements), as of December 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.

Basel III (Full Implementation)
Citigroup’s Capital Resources Under Basel III
(Full Implementation)
Citi currently anticipates that its effective minimum Common Equity Tier 1
Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratio requirements under the Final
Basel III Rules, on a fully implemented basis, will be at least 9%, 10.5% and
12.5%, respectively. However, Citi’s effective minimum ratio requirements
will be higher if the Federal Reserve Board’s GSIB surcharge rule were to be
adopted as proposed.
    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 December 31,
2014 and December 31, 2013.
Citigroup Capital Components and Ratios Under Basel III (Full Implementation)
(1) Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Tier 1 Capital, and Total Capital ratios as well as related components reflect application of the Basel III Standardized Approach framework effective January 1, 2015.
(2) Under the Advanced Approaches framework eligible credit reserves that exceed expected credit losses are eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital to the extent the excess reserves do not exceed 0.6% of credit
    risk-weighted assets, which differs from the Standardized Approach in which the allowance for credit losses is includable in Tier 2 Capital up to 1.25% of credit risk-weighted assets, with any excess allowance for
    credit losses being deducted in arriving at credit risk-weighted assets.
(3) Tier 1 Leverage ratio denominator.
(4) As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Citi’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Tier 1 Capital, and Total Capital ratios were the lower derived under the Basel III Advanced Approaches framework.
(5) Citi’s Basel III capital ratios and certain related components are non-GAAP financial measures. Citi believes these ratios and their related components provide useful information to investors and others by measuring
    Citi’s progress against future regulatory capital standards.
                                                                                                             46
Components of Citigroup Capital Under Basel III (Advanced Approaches with Full Implementation)
(1) Issuance costs of $124 million and $93 million related to preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are excluded from common stockholders’ equity and netted against
     preferred stock in accordance with Federal Reserve Board regulatory reporting requirements, which differ from those under U.S. GAAP.
(2) Common Equity Tier 1 Capital is adjusted for accumulated net unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges included in AOCI that relate to the hedging of items not recognized at fair value on the balance sheet.
(3) The cumulative impact of changes in Citigroup’s own creditworthiness in valuing liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected and own-credit valuation adjustments on derivatives are excluded from
     Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, in accordance with the Final Basel III Rules.
(4) Includes goodwill “embedded” in the valuation of significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions.
(5) Of Citi’s approximately $49.5 billion of net DTAs at December 31, 2014, approximately $15.2 billion of such assets were includable in regulatory capital pursuant to the Final Basel III Rules, while approximately
     $34.3 billion of such assets were excluded in arriving at Common Equity Tier 1 Capital. Comprising the excluded net DTAs was an aggregate of approximately $35.9 billion of net DTAs arising from net operating loss,
     foreign tax credit and general business credit carry-forwards as well as temporary differences that were deducted from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital. In addition, approximately $1.6 billion of net DTLs, primarily
     consisting of DTLs associated with goodwill and certain other intangible assets, partially offset by DTAs related to cash flow hedges, are permitted to be excluded prior to deriving the amount of net DTAs subject to
     deduction under these rules. Separately, under the Final Basel III Rules, goodwill and these other intangible assets are deducted net of associated DTLs in arriving at Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, while Citi’s current
     cash flow hedges and the related deferred tax effects are not required to be reflected in regulatory capital.
(6) Aside from MSRs, reflects DTAs arising from temporary differences and significant common stock investments in unconsolidated financial institutions.
(7) Represents Citigroup Capital XIII trust preferred securities, which are permanently grandfathered as Tier 1 Capital under the Final Basel III Rules.
(8) 50% of the minimum regulatory capital requirements of insurance underwriting subsidiaries must be deducted from each of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital.
(9) Non-qualifying subordinated debt issuances which consist of those with a fixed-to-floating rate step-up feature where the call/step-up date has not passed are excluded from Tier 2 Capital.
(10) Represents the amount of non-grandfathered trust preferred securities eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital under the Final Basel III Rules, which will be fully phased-out of Tier 2 Capital by January 1, 2022.
(11) Advanced Approaches banking organizations are permitted to include in Tier 2 Capital eligible credit reserves that exceed expected credit losses to the extent that the excess reserves do not exceed 0.6% of credit
     risk-weighted assets.
(12) Total Capital as calculated under Advanced Approaches, which differs from the Standardized Approach in the treatment of the amount of eligible credit reserves includable in Tier 2 Capital.
                                                                                                              47
Citigroup Capital Rollforward Under Basel III (Advanced Approaches with Full Implementation)
(1) Primarily represents an increase in additional paid-in capital related to employee benefit plans.
(2) Citi issued approximately $3.7 billion and approximately $1.5 billion of qualifying perpetual preferred stock during the twelve months and three months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, which were partially
    offset by the netting of issuance costs of $31 million and $7 million for those periods.

The following table sets forth Citi’s estimated Basel III Supplementary Leverage ratio and related components, under the Revised Final Basel III Rules, for the
three months ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Citigroup Estimated Basel III Supplementary Leverage Ratios and Related Components (1)
(1) Citi’s estimated Basel III Supplementary Leverage 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 Citigroup’s progress against future regulatory capital standards.
(2) Pro forma presentation based on application of the Revised Final Basel III Rules consistent with current period presentation.
(3) Represents the daily average of on-balance sheet assets for the quarter.
(4) Represents the average of certain off-balance sheet exposures calculated as of the last day of each month in the quarter.
(5) Under the Revised Final Basel III Rules, banking organizations are required to include in TLE the effective notional amount of sold credit derivatives, with netting of exposures permitted if certain conditions are met.
(6) Repo-style transactions include repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions and securities borrowing or securities lending transactions.

The growth in the ratio from the fourth quarter of 2013 was principally
driven by an increase in Tier 1 Capital attributable largely to net income of
$7.3 billion, approximately $3.3 billion of DTA utilization and approximately
$3.7 billion of perpetual preferred stock issuances, offset in part by a
reduction in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and a
marginal increase in Total Leverage Exposure.

funding. As proposed, given that the calculation under method 2 involves, in
part, the doubling of the indicator scores related to size, interconnectedness,
cross-jurisdictional activity and complexity, method 2 would generally result
in higher surcharges as compared to method 1.
    Estimated GSIB surcharges under the proposed rule, which would be
required to be comprised entirely of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, would
initially range from 1.0% to 4.5% of total risk-weighted assets. Moreover, the
GSIB surcharge would be an extension of the Capital Conservation Buffer
and, if invoked, any Countercyclical Capital Buffer, and would result in
restrictions on earnings distributions (e.g., dividends, equity repurchases,
and discretionary executive bonuses) should the surcharge be drawn upon to
absorb losses during periods of financial or economic stress, with the degree
of such restrictions based upon the extent to which the surcharge is drawn.
    Under the proposal, like that of the Basel Committee’s rule, the GSIB
surcharge would be introduced in parallel with the Capital Conservation
Buffer and, if applicable, any Countercyclical Capital Buffer, commencing
phase-in on January 1, 2016 and becoming fully effective on January 1, 2019.
    As of December 31, 2014, Citi estimates its GSIB surcharge under the
Federal Reserve Board’s proposal would be 4%, compared to at least 2% under
the Basel Committee requirements.

surcharge proposal, as well as the Financial Stability Board’s total loss-

the overall “culture” of Citi and the financial services industry generally as
well as the effectiveness of Citi’s control functions, has and could continue to
lead to more regulatory or other enforcement proceedings. While Citi takes
numerous steps to prevent and detect misconduct by employees and agents,
misconduct may not always be deterred or prevented.
    In addition, the complexity of the federal and state regulatory and
enforcement regimes in the U.S., coupled with the global scope of Citi’s
operations and the continued aggressiveness of the regulatory environment
worldwide, also means that a single event may give rise to a large number
of overlapping investigations and regulatory proceedings, either by multiple
federal and state agencies in the U.S. or by multiple regulators and other
governmental entities in different jurisdictions.
    For example, Citi is subject to extensive legal and regulatory inquiries,
actions and investigations, including by the Antitrust Division and the
Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, relating to Citi’s
contribution to, or trading in products linked to, rates or benchmarks.
These rates and benchmarks may relate to foreign exchange rates (such as
the WM/Reuters fix), interest rates (such as the London Inter-Bank Offered
Rate (LIBOR) or ISDAFIX), or other prices. Like other banks with operations
in the U.S., Citi is also subject to continuing oversight by bank regulators,
and inquiries and investigations by other governmental and regulatory
authorities, with respect to its anti-money laundering program.
    The severity of the remedies sought in these and the other legal and
regulatory proceedings to which Citi is subject has increased substantially
in recent years. U.S. and certain international governmental entities
have emphasized a willingness to bring criminal actions against, or seek
criminal convictions from, financial institutions, and criminal prosecutors

risk across all businesses. This includes a defined risk appetite, credit limits
and credit policies, both at the business level as well as at the company-wide
level. Citi’s credit risk management also includes processes and policies with
respect to problem recognition, including “watch lists,” portfolio review,
updated risk ratings and classification triggers.
    With respect to Citi’s settlement and clearing activities, intra-day client
usage of lines is closely monitored against limits, as well as against “normal”
usage patterns. To the extent a problem develops, Citi typically moves
the client to a secured (collateralized) operating model. Generally, Citi’s
intra-day settlement and clearing lines are uncommitted and cancellable at
any time.
    To manage concentration of risk within credit risk, Citi has in place a
concentration management framework consisting of industry limits, obligor
limits and single-name triggers. In addition, as noted under “Managing
Global Risk—Risk Aggregation and Stress Testing” above, independent
risk management reviews concentration of risk across Citi’s regions and
businesses to assist in managing this type of risk.

    periods have not been restated. For additional information, see Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2) The allowance for loan losses includes the allowance for Citi’s credit card portfolios and purchased distressed loans, while the non-accrual loans exclude credit card balances (with the exception of certain international
    portfolios) and purchased distressed loans as these continue to accrue interest until charge-off.

$24.8 billion of home equity loans was recorded in Citi Holdings, with the
remaining $3.3 billion recorded in Citicorp.
    Citi’s residential first mortgage portfolio included $5.2 billion of loans
with FHA insurance or Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) guarantees
at December 31, 2014, compared to $7.7 billion at December 31, 2013.
The decline during the year was primarily attributed to approximately
$2.3 billion of mortgage loans with FHA insurance sold and transferred to
held-for-sale, including $0.9 billion during the fourth quarter of 2014. Citi’s
FHA/VA 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 $0.8 billion
of loans with origination LTVs above 80% that have insurance through
mortgage insurance companies at December 31, 2014, compared to
$1.1 billion at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, the residential
first mortgage portfolio also had $0.6 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, compared to
$0.8 billion at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, Citi’s home equity
loan portfolio also included $0.2 billion of loans subject to LTSCs with GSEs,
compared to $0.3 billion at 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.
    As of December 31, 2014, Citi’s North America residential first mortgage
portfolio contained approximately $3.8 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, conversions to amortizing loans and loans sold/transferred
to held-for-sale. Residential first mortgages with this payment feature are

    Residential first mortgages originated by CitiFinancial have a higher
net credit loss rate (4.6%, compared to 0.4% for CitiMortgage as of the
fourth quarter of 2014), as CitiFinancial borrowers tend to have higher LTVs
and lower FICOs than CitiMortgage borrowers. CitiFinancial’s residential
first mortgages also have a significantly different geographic distribution,
with different mortgage market conditions that tend to lag the overall

Foreclosures
A substantial majority of Citi’s foreclosure inventory consists of residential
first mortgages. At December 31, 2014, Citi’s foreclosure inventory included
approximately $0.6 billion, or 0.9%, of residential first mortgages, compared
to $0.8 billion, or 1.2%, at December 31, 2013 (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). This decline in 2014 was largely attributed to CitiMortgage loans
sold or transferred to held-for-sale.

As part of its overall risk management activities, Citigroup uses credit
derivatives and other risk mitigants to hedge portions of the credit risk in
its corporate credit portfolio, in addition to outright asset sales. The results
of the mark-to-market and any realized gains or losses on credit derivatives
are reflected in Principal transactions on the Consolidated Statement
of Income.
    At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $27.6 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.

    Excluding these items, Citigroup deposits declined 2% year-over-year,
as 1% growth in Citicorp deposits was more than offset by the continued
decline in Citi Holdings due to the ongoing transfer of MSSB deposits to
Morgan Stanley. Within Citicorp, GCB deposits increased 2% year-over-year,
with growth in all four regions. North America GCB deposits increased
1% year-over-year, with a continued focus on growing checking account
balances, and international deposits grew 3% year-over-year. ICG deposits
increased 1% year-over-year, with 3% growth in treasury and trade solutions
balances, partially offset by reductions in markets-related businesses. Average
deposits were relatively unchanged year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter,
as growth in Citicorp was offset by the ongoing transfer of MSSB deposits to

Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates—Impacts on OCI and Capital
As of December 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 $1.5 billion, or 0.8% of
TCE, as a result of changes to Citi’s foreign currency translation adjustment
in AOCI, net of hedges. This impact would be primarily due to changes in the
value of the Mexican peso, the British pound sterling, the euro, the Chinese
yuan and the Korean won.
    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 Common Equity Tier 1
Capital 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 Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio.
    The effect of Citi’s business model and management strategies on changes
in foreign exchange rates are shown in the table below. For additional
information in the changes in AOCI, see Note 20 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

process includes a review by Citi’s model validation group and further
approval from its model validation review committee, which is composed
of senior quantitative risk management officers. In the event of significant
model changes, parallel model runs are undertaken prior to implementation.
In addition, significant model and assumption changes are subject to the
periodic reviews and approval by Citi’s U.S. banking regulators.
    In the second quarter of 2014, Citi implemented two VAR model
enhancements that were reviewed by Citi’s U.S. banking regulators as well
as Citi’s model validation group. Specifically, Citi enhanced the correlation
among mortgage products as well as introduced industry sectors (financial
and non-financial) into the credit spread component of the VAR model.

(1) Buy-and-hold profit and loss, as defined by the banking regulators under Basel III, represents the daily mark-to-market revenue movement attributable to the trading position from the close of the previous business day.
    Buy-and-hold profit and loss excludes realized trading revenue, net interest, intra-day trading profit and loss on new and terminated trades, as well as changes in reserves. Therefore it is not comparable to the trading-
    related revenue presented in the previous histogram of Daily Trading-Related Revenue.

limits. Citi uses two complementary approaches to market risk stress testing
across all major risk factors (i.e., equity, foreign exchange, commodity,
interest rate and credit spreads): top-down systemic stresses and bottom-
up business specific stresses. Systemic stresses are designed to quantify the
potential impact of extreme market movements on a firm-wide basis, and are
constructed using both historical periods of market stress and projections of
adverse economic scenarios. Business specific stresses are designed to probe
the risks of particular portfolios and market segments, especially those risks
that are not fully captured in VAR and systemic stresses.
    The systemic stress scenarios and business specific stress scenarios at
Citi are used in several reports reviewed by senior management and also to
calculate internal risk capital for trading market risk. In general, changes in
market factors are defined over a one-year horizon. However, for the purpose
of calculating internal risk capital, changes in a very limited number of
the most liquid market factors are defined over a shorter three-month
horizon. The limited set of market factors subject to the shorter three-month
time horizon are those that in management’s judgment have historically
remained very liquid during financial crises, even as the trading liquidity of
most other market factors materially decreased.

Assessment process (as described under “Citi’s Compliance Organization”
above) to help managers self-assess key operational risks and controls and
identify and address weaknesses in the design and/or operating effectiveness
of internal controls that mitigate significant operational risks.
    As noted above, each major business segment must implement an
operational risk process consistent with the requirements of this framework.
The process for operational risk management includes the following steps:
•   identify and assess key operational risks;
•   design controls to mitigate identified risks;
•   establish key risk and control indicators;
•   implement a process for early problem recognition and timely escalation;
•   produce a comprehensive operational risk report; and
•   ensure that sufficient resources are available to actively improve the
    operational risk environment and mitigate emerging risks.
    As new products and business activities are developed, processes are
designed, modified or sourced through alternative means and operational
risks are considered.

    Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In addition, given Citi’s large size, complex operations and global footprint,
lapses or deficiencies in internal controls may occur from time to time.

included within the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, are “forward-looking statements”

similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as will, should, would
and could.
    Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and are
subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Actual results
and capital and other financial conditions may differ materially from those

listed and described under “Risk Factors” above.
    Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Citigroup speak
only as to the date they are made, and Citi does not undertake to update
forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events
that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made.

Use of Estimates
Management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the
Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnote disclosures. Such
estimates are used in connection with certain fair value measurements. See
Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussions
on estimates used in the determination of fair value. Moreover, estimates
are significant in determining the amounts of other-than-temporary
impairments, impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets, provisions
for probable losses that may arise from credit-related exposures and probable
and estimable losses related to litigation and regulatory proceedings, and tax
reserves. While management makes its best judgment, actual amounts or
results could differ from those estimates. Current market conditions increase
the risk and complexity of the judgments in these estimates.

Plan Assets
Citigroup’s pension and postretirement plans’ asset allocations for the U.S.
plans at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the target allocations for 2015 by
asset category based on asset fair values, are as follows:
(1) Asset allocations for the U.S. plans are set by investment strategy, not by investment product. For example, private equities with an underlying investment in real estate are classified in the real estate asset category,
    not private equity.
(2) Equity securities in the U.S. pension and postretirement plans do not include any Citigroup common stock at the end of 2014 and 2013.
    Third-party investment managers and advisors provide their services to                                              Citigroup’s pension and postretirement plans’ weighted-average asset

diversified investment portfolio across several asset classes that, when
combined with Citigroup’s contributions to the plans, will maintain the
plans’ ability to meet all required benefit obligations.
(1) Similar to the U.S. plans, asset allocations for certain non-U.S. plans are set by investment strategy, not by investment product.

countries local law requires that all pension plan assets must be invested in
fixed-income investments, government funds, or local-country securities.

unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months, although                                            including interest.
Citi does not expect such audits to result in amounts that would cause a
significant change to its effective tax rate, other than as discussed below.
    Citi expects to conclude its IRS audit for the 2012-2013 cycle within the
next 12 months. The gross uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2014
for the items that may be resolved are as much as $120 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 to $120 million. In addition, Citi may conclude certain state and local
tax audits within the next 12 months. The gross uncertain tax positions

distributed in excess of limits prescribed by federal law. At December 31, 2014,
the amount of the base year reserves totaled approximately $358 million
(subject to a tax of $125 million).

    Based upon the foregoing discussion, Citi believes the U.S. federal and
New York state and city NOL carry-forward period of 20 years provides enough
time to fully utilize the DTAs pertaining to the existing NOL carry-forwards
and any NOL that would be created by the reversal of the future net
deductions that have not yet been taken on a tax return.
    The U.S. FTC carry-forward period is 10 years and represents the most
time-sensitive component of Citi’s DTAs. Utilization of FTCs in any year is
restricted to 35% of foreign source taxable income in that year. However,
overall domestic losses that Citi has incurred of approximately $59 billion as
of December 31, 2014 are allowed to be reclassified as foreign source income
to the extent of 50% of domestic source income produced in subsequent
years. Such resulting foreign source income would cover the FTCs being
carried forward. As such, Citi believes the foreign source taxable income
limitation will not be an impediment to the FTC carry-forward usage, as long
as Citi can generate sufficient domestic taxable income within the 10-year
carry-forward period.
    As noted in the tables above, Citi’s FTC carry-forwards were $17.6 billion
as of December 31, 2014, compared to $19.6 billion as of December 31,
2013. This decrease represented $2.0 billion of the $3.3 billion decrease in
Citi’s overall DTAs during 2014. Citi believes that it will generate sufficient
U.S. taxable income within the 10-year carry-forward period referenced
above to be able to fully utilize the FTC carry-forward, in addition to
any FTCs produced in such period, which must be used prior to any
carry-forward utilization.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following is a reconciliation of the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations for the years ended
December 31:
(1) See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the potential future impact of preferred stock dividends.
(2) Pursuant to the terms of Citi’s previously outstanding Tangible Dividend Enhanced Common Stock Securities (T-DECs), on December 17, 2012, the Company delivered 96,337,772 shares of Citigroup common stock
    for the final settlement of the prepaid stock purchase contract. The impact of the T-DECs is fully reflected in the basic shares for 2013 and diluted shares for 2012.
(3) During 2014, 2013 and 2012, weighted-average options to purchase 2.8 million, 4.8 million and 35.8 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 $153.91, $101.11 and $54.23 respectively, were anti-dilutive.

(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
    unrealized gains of $27 million and $36 million as of December 31, 2014 and 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 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3) The gross 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 (loss) (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.

(1) For securities transferred to HTM from Trading account assets, amortized cost basis 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, adjusted for the cumulative accretion or amortization of any purchase discount or
    premium, plus or minus any cumulative fair value hedge adjustments, net of accretion or amortization, and less any other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings.
(2) HTM securities are carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at amortized cost basis, plus or minus any unamortized unrealized gains and losses and fair value hedge adjustments recognized in AOCI prior to
    reclassifying the securities from AFS to HTM. Changes in the values of these securities are not reported in the financial statements, except for the amortization of any difference between the carrying value at the
    transfer date and par value of the securities, and the recognition of any non-credit fair value adjustments in AOCI in connection with the recognition of any credit impairment in earnings related to securities the
    Company continues to intend to hold until maturity.
(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 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(4) The net unrealized losses recognized in AOCI on state and municipal debt securities are primarily attributable to the effects of fair value hedge accounting applied when these debt securities were classified as AFS.
    Specifically, Citi hedged 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 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. Upon transfer of these debt
    securities to HTM, all hedges have been de-designated and hedge accounting has ceased.
(5) During the second quarter of 2014, securities with a total fair value of approximately $11.8 billion were transferred from AFS to HTM and comprised $5.4 billion of U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities
    and $6.4 billion of obligations of U.S. states and municipalities. The transfer reflects the Company’s intent to hold these securities to maturity or to issuer call in order to reduce the impact of price volatility on AOCI
    and certain capital measures under Basel III. While these securities were transferred to HTM at fair value as of the transfer date, no subsequent changes in value may be recorded, other than in connection with the
    recognition of any subsequent other-than-temporary impairment and the amortization of differences between the carrying values at the transfer date and the par values of each security as an adjustment of yield over
    the remaining contractual life of each security. Any net unrealized holding losses within AOCI related to the respective securities at the date of transfer, inclusive of any cumulative fair value hedge adjustments, will be
    amortized over the remaining contractual life of each security as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of any premium or discount.
                                                                                                              194

(1) Corporate loans that are 90 days past due are generally classified as non-accrual. Corporate loans are considered past due when principal or interest is contractually due but unpaid.
(2) Citi generally does not manage corporate loans on a delinquency basis. Non-accrual loans generally include those loans that are ≥ 90 days past due or those loans for which Citi believes, 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.
(3) Corporate loans are past due when principal or interest is contractually due but unpaid. Loans less than 30 days past due are presented as current.

(1) TDRs involving changes in the amount or timing of principal payments may involve principal forgiveness or deferral of periodic and/or final principal payments. Because forgiveness of principal is rare for commercial
    loans, modifications typically have little to no impact on the loans’ projected cash flows and thus little to no impact on the allowance established for the loan. Charge-offs for amounts deemed uncollectable may be
    recorded at the time of the restructuring or may have already been recorded in prior periods such that no charge-off is required at the time of the modification.
(2) TDRs involving changes in the amount or timing of interest payments may involve a below-market interest rate.

(1) TDRs involving changes in the amount or timing of principal payments may involve principal forgiveness or deferral of periodic and/or final principal payments. Because forgiveness of principal is rare for commercial
    loans, modifications typically have little to no impact on the loans’ projected cash flows and thus little to no impact on the allowance established for the loan. Charge-offs for amounts deemed uncollectable may be
    recorded at the time of the restructuring or may have already been recorded in prior periods such that no charge-off is required at the time of the modification.
(2) TDRs involving changes in the amount or timing of interest payments may involve a below-market interest rate.
   The following table presents total corporate loans modified in a TDR at December 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as those TDRs that defaulted during the three
months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for which the payment default occurred within one year of a permanent modification. Default is defined as
60 days past due, except for classifiably managed commercial markets loans, where default is defined as 90 days past due.

The following table summarizes selected cash flow information related to
Citicorp mortgage securitizations for the years ended December 31, 2014,
2013 and 2012:
Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of retained interests at the date of sale or securitization of mortgage receivables for the years ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
(1) Disclosure of non-agency-sponsored mortgages as senior and subordinated interests is indicative of the interests’ position in the capital structure of the securitization.
(2) Anticipated net credit losses represent estimated loss severity associated with defaulted mortgage loans underlying the mortgage securitizations disclosed above. Anticipated net credit losses, in this instance, do not
    represent total credit losses incurred to date, nor do they represent credit losses expected on retained interests in mortgage securitizations.

(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 $3,752 million and $6,450 million at December 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 to mitigate certain economic risks, 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 enters into credit derivative positions for purposes such as risk management, yield enhancement,
    reduction of credit concentrations and diversification of overall risk.

Derivative Mark-to-Market (MTM) Receivables/Payables
(1) The trading derivatives fair values are presented in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2) Derivative mark-to-market receivables/payables related to management hedges are recorded in either Other assets/Other liabilities or Trading account assets/Trading account liabilities.
(3) Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are derivatives executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties without the use of an organized exchange or central clearing house. Cleared derivatives include derivatives
    executed bilaterally with a counterparty in the OTC market but then novated to a central clearing house, whereby the central clearing house becomes the counterparty to both of the original counterparties. Exchange
    traded derivatives include derivatives executed directly on an organized exchange that provides pre-trade price transparency.
(4) The credit derivatives trading assets comprise $18,430 million related to protection purchased and $25,088 million related to protection sold as of December 31, 2014. The credit derivatives trading liabilities comprise
    $25,972 million related to protection purchased and $17,458 million related to protection sold as of December 31, 2014.
(5) For the trading account assets/liabilities, reflects the net amount of the $54,292 million and $57,471 million of gross cash collateral paid and received, respectively. Of the gross cash collateral paid, $47,769 million
    was used to offset trading derivative liabilities and, of the gross cash collateral received, $47,625 million was used to offset trading derivative assets.
(6) For cash collateral paid with respect to non-trading derivative liabilities, reflects the net amount of $138 million the gross cash collateral received, of which $15 million is netted against OTC non-trading derivative
    positions within Other liabilities. For cash collateral received with respect to non-trading derivative liabilities, reflects the net amount of $1,798 million of the gross cash collateral received, of which $1,791 million is
    netted against OTC non-trading derivative positions within Other assets.
(7) Represents the netting of derivative receivable and payable balances with the same counterparty under enforceable netting agreements. Approximately $510 billion, $264 billion and $3 billion of the netting against
    trading account asset/liability balances is attributable to each of the OTC, cleared and exchange traded derivatives, respectively.
(8) Represents the netting of cash collateral paid and received by counterparty under enforceable credit support agreements. Substantially all cash collateral received is netted against OTC derivative assets. Cash collateral
    paid of approximately $46 billion and $2 billion is netted against each of the OTC and cleared derivative liabilities, respectively.
(9) The net receivables/payables include approximately $11 billion derivative asset and $10 billion of derivative liability fair values not subject to enforceable master netting agreements.

The following tables summarize the key characteristics of Citi’s credit derivatives portfolio by counterparty and derivative form as of December 31, 2014 and
December 31, 2013:
(1) The fair value amount receivable is composed of $18,708 million under protection purchased and $25,088 million under protection sold.
(2) The fair value amount payable is composed of $26,527 million under protection purchased and $17,458 million under protection sold.

24. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Concentrations of credit risk exist when changes in economic, industry or
geographic factors similarly affect groups of counterparties whose aggregate
credit exposure is material in relation to Citigroup’s total credit exposure.
Although Citigroup’s portfolio of financial instruments is broadly diversified
along industry, product, and geographic lines, material transactions are
completed with other financial institutions, particularly in the securities
trading, derivatives and foreign exchange businesses.
   In connection with the Company’s efforts to maintain a diversified
portfolio, the Company limits its exposure to any one geographic region,
country or individual creditor and monitors this exposure on a continuous
basis. At December 31, 2014, Citigroup’s most significant concentration of
credit risk was with the U.S. government and its agencies. The Company’s
exposure, which primarily results from trading assets and investments issued
by the U.S. government and its agencies, amounted to $216.3 billion and
$168.4 billion at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Japanese
and Mexican governments and their agencies, which are rated investment
grade by both Moody’s and S&P, were the next largest exposures. The
Company’s exposure to Japan amounted to $32.0 billion and $29.0 billion at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was composed of investment
securities, loans and trading assets. The Company’s exposure to Mexico
amounted to $29.7 billion and $37.0 billion at December 31, 2014 and
2013, respectively, and was composed of investment securities, loans and
trading assets.
   The Company’s exposure to states and municipalities amounted to
$31.0 billion and $33.1 billion at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively,
and was composed of trading assets, investment securities, derivatives and
lending activities.

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.

    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 December 31, 2014
and December 31, 2013, the losses incurred and the carrying amounts

    part of the planned capital actions included by Citi in its 2014 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review. The 2014 Repurchase Program extends through the first quarter of 2015. Shares repurchased under the
    2014 Repurchase Program are treasury stock.

N/A Not applicable
Dividends
In addition to Board of Directors’ approval, Citi’s ability to pay common
stock dividends substantially depends on regulatory approval, including an
annual regulatory review of the results of the Comprehensive Capital Analysis
and Review (CCAR) process required by the Federal Reserve Board and the
supervisory stress tests required under the Dodd-Frank Act. See “Risk Factors-
Business and Operational Risks” above. For information on the ability of
Citigroup’s subsidiary depository institutions and non-bank subsidiaries to
pay dividends, see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Any
dividend on Citi’s outstanding common stock would also need to be made in
compliance with Citi’s obligations to its outstanding preferred stock.
