OVERVIEW

Citigroup’s history dates back to the founding of the City Bank of New York in 1812.

Citigroup is a global diversified financial services holding company whose businesses provide consumers, corporations, governments and institutions with a broad, yet focused, 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 does business in nearly 160 countries and jurisdictions.

Citi’s vision is to be the preeminent banking partner for institutions with cross-border needs, a global leader in wealth management and a valued personal bank in the U.S.

At December 31, 2023, Citi had approximately 239,000 full-time employees, largely unchanged from December 31, 2022. For additional information, see “Human Capital Resources and Management” below.

Throughout this report, “Citigroup,” “Citi” and “the Company” refer to Citigroup Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. For a list of certain terms and acronyms used herein, see “Glossary of Terms and Acronyms” at the end of this report. All “Note” references correspond to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Additional information about Citigroup is available on Citi’s website at www.citigroup.com. Citigroup’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and proxy statements, as well as other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are available free of charge through Citi’s website by clicking on “SEC Filings” under the “Investors” tab. The SEC’s website also contains these filings and other information regarding Citi at www.sec.gov.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ financial statements and disclosures to conform to the current period’s presentation, including reclassifications to reflect Citi’s new financial reporting structure, effective as of the fourth quarter of 2023, for all periods presented. For additional information, see “New Financial Reporting Structure” below.

Please see “Risk Factors” below for a discussion of material risks and uncertainties that could impact Citigroup’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Citi prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and also presents certain non-GAAP financial measures (non-GAAP measures) that exclude certain items or otherwise include components that differ from the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Citi believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures

provides a meaningful depiction of the underlying fundamentals of period-to-period operating results for investors, industry analysts and others, including increased transparency and clarity into Citi’s results, and improved visibility into management decisions and their impacts on operational performance; enables better comparison to peer companies; and allows Citi to provide a long-term strategic view of its businesses and results going forward. These non-GAAP measures are not intended as a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may not be defined or calculated the same way as non-GAAP measures with similar names used by other companies.

Citi’s non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-K include:

Earnings per share (EPS), revenues and expenses excluding applicable notable items and divestiture-related impacts

Expenses excluding the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment and restructuring charges

All Other(managed basis), which excludes divestiture-related impacts

Tangible common equity (TCE), return on tangible common equity (RoTCE) and tangible book value per share (TBVPS)

Banking and Corporate Lending revenues excluding gain (loss) on loan hedges

Services revenues excluding the impact of the Argentine peso devaluations

Non-Markets net interest income

For more information on the notable items, including the FDIC special assessment and restructuring charges, see “Executive Summary” below.

Citi’s results excluding divestiture-related impacts represent as reported, or GAAP, financial results adjusted for items that are incurred and recognized, which are wholly and necessarily a consequence of actions taken to sell (including through a public offering), dispose of or wind down business activities associated with Citi’s previously announced exit markets within All Other—Legacy Franchises. Citi’s Chief Executive Officer, its chief operating decision maker, regularly reviews financial information for All Other on a managed basis that excludes these divestiture-related impacts. For more information on Citi’s results excluding divestiture-related impacts, see “Executive Summary” and “All Other—Divestiture-Related Impacts (Reconciling Items)” below.

For more information on TCE, RoTCE and TBVPS, see “Capital Resources—Tangible Common Equity, Book Value Per Share, Tangible Book Value Per Share and Return on Equity” below.

For more information on Banking and Corporate Lending revenues excluding gains (losses) on loan hedges, see “Executive Summary” and “Banking” below.

For more information on Services revenues excluding the

impact of the Argentine peso devaluations, see “Executive

Summary” and “Services” below.

For more information on non-Markets net interest income, see “Market Risk—Non-Markets Net Interest Income” below.

Effective as of the fourth quarter of 2023, Citigroup was managed pursuant to five operating segments: Services, Markets, Banking, U.S. Personal Banking and Wealth. Activities not assigned to the operating segments are included in All Other.

Note: Mexico is included in International.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As described further throughout this Executive Summary, Citi demonstrated substantial progress across the franchise during 2023, despite the impact of several notable items in the fourth quarter:

Citi’s revenues increased 4% versus the prior year, reflecting an increase in net interest income in Services and U.S. Personal Banking (USPB), driven by higher interest rates, as well as loan growth in cards. The increase in revenues was partially offset by lower non-interest revenues, primarily driven by approximately $1.9 billion in aggregate translation losses (including approximately $880 million in the fourth quarter) due to devaluations of the Argentine peso during the year, the impact of lower volatility in Markets and the contraction of the global investment banking wallet in Investment Banking.

Citi’s expenses increased 10% versus the prior year. The increase included fourth-quarter pretax charges of approximately $1.7 billion associated with the FDIC special assessment and approximately $780 million of restructuring charges. Excluding both of these charges, expenses increased 5%, driven by increased investments in other risk and controls and technology, elevated business-as-usual severance costs and additional transformation and business-led investments. The increase was partially offset by productivity savings and expense reductions from the exited markets and continued wind-downs (see “Expenses” below).

Citi’s cost of credit was $9.2 billion versus $5.2 billion in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher cards net credit losses in Branded Cards and Retail Services, reflecting normalization from historically low levels. The increase was also due to net builds in the allowance for credit losses (ACL), including approximately $1.9 billion in builds related to increases in transfer risk associated with exposures in Russia and Argentina (including approximately $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter), as well as builds due to volume growth in Branded Cards and Retail Services.

Citi returned $6.1 billion to common shareholders in the form of dividends ($4.1 billion) and share repurchases ($2.0 billion).

Citi’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital ratio under the Basel III Standardized Approach increased to 13.4% as of December 31, 2023, compared to 13.0% as of December 31, 2022 (see “Capital Resources” below). This compares to Citi’s required regulatory CET1 Capital ratio of 12.3% as of October 1, 2023 under the Basel III Standardized Approach.

Citi closed the four remaining signed consumer banking sale transactions in 2023. Citi also continued to make progress with the wind-downs of the Korea and China consumer banking businesses and the Russia consumer, local commercial and institutional businesses, as well as the planned initial public offering of Citi’s consumer

banking and small business and middle-market banking operations in Mexico, and restarted the sales process for its Poland consumer banking business.

2023 Results Summary

Citigroup

Citigroup reported net income of $9.2 billion, or $4.04 per share, compared to net income of $14.8 billion, or $7.00 per share in the prior year. Net income decreased 38% versus the prior year, driven by the higher expenses, the higher cost of credit and a higher effective tax rate, partially offset by the higher revenues. Citigroup’s effective tax rate was 27% in 2023 versus 19% in the prior year, largely driven by the geographic mix of earnings (see Note 10).

As discussed above, results for 2023 included several notable items impacting pretax revenues, expenses and cost of credit:

Approximately $1.9 billion of aggregate translation losses in revenues due to devaluations of the Argentine peso

Approximately $1.9 billion in aggregate reserve builds related to increases in transfer risk associated with exposures in Russia and Argentina, driven by safety and soundness considerations under U.S. banking law

An approximate $1.7 billion charge to operating expenses related to the FDIC special assessment in the fourth quarter

Approximately $780 million of restructuring charges in the fourth quarter, recorded in operating expenses in Corporate/Other within All Other (managed basis), related to actions taken as part of Citi’s organizational simplification initiatives

In total, on an after-tax basis the notable items were $(5.4) billion.

Additionally, results for 2023 included pretax divestiture-related impacts of approximately $1.0 billion (approximately $659 million after-tax), primarily driven by gains on sale of Citi’s India and Taiwan consumer banking businesses. (See “All Other—Divestiture-Related Impacts (Reconciling Items)” below.)

The above notable items and divestiture-related impacts, collectively, had a $2.40 negative impact on EPS in 2023. For additional information on the translation losses due to the devaluations of the Argentine peso, see “Managing Global Risk—Other Risks—Country Risk—Argentina” below and “Services,” “Markets” and “Banking” below. Excluding the notable items and divestiture-related impacts, EPS was $6.44. (As used throughout this Form 10-K, Citi’s results of operations and financial condition excluding the notable items and divestiture-related impacts are non-GAAP financial measures.)

Results for 2022 included pretax divestiture-related impacts of $82 million. (See “All Other—Divestiture-Related Impacts (Reconciling Items)” below.) Collectively, divestiture-related impacts had a $0.09 negative impact on

EPS. Excluding divestiture-related impacts, EPS in 2022 was $7.09. Results in 2022 also included approximately $820 million of translation losses in revenues due to the devaluations of the Argentine peso.

Citigroup revenues of $78.5 billion in 2023 increased 4% on a reported basis. Excluding divestiture-related impacts, revenues of $77.1 billion also increased 4% versus the prior year. Excluding both divestiture-related and Argentine peso devaluation impacts, revenues of $79 billion in 2023 increased 5% versus the prior year. The increase in revenues reflected strength across Services and USPB, partially offset by declines in Markets, Banking and Wealth, as well as the revenue reduction from the exited markets and continued wind-downs in All Other(managed basis).

Citigroup’s end-of-period loans were $689 billion, up 5% versus the prior year, largely driven by growth in USPB.

Citigroup’s end-of-period deposits were approximately $1.3 trillion, down 4% versus the prior year. The decline in deposits was largely due to a reduction in Services, reflecting quantitative tightening and a shift of deposits to higher-yielding investments in USPB and Wealth in 2023. For additional information about Citi’s deposits by business, including drivers and deposit trends, see each respective business’s results of operations and “Liquidity Risk—Deposits” below.

Expenses

Citigroup’s operating expenses of $56.4 billion increased 10% from the prior year. In the fourth quarter of 2023, Citi incurred the approximate $1.7 billion charge associated with the FDIC special assessment and approximately $780 million of restructuring charges related to Citi’s organizational simplification initiatives (see Note 9). Expenses also included divestiture-related impacts of $372 million in 2023 and $696 million in the prior year. Excluding divestiture-related impacts, expenses of $56 billion increased 11% versus the prior year. Excluding divestiture-related impacts, the restructuring charges and the FDIC special assessment, expenses of $53.5 billion increased 6%, driven by increased investments in other risk and controls and technology, elevated business-as-usual severance costs and additional transformation and business-led investments. The increase was partially offset by productivity savings and expense reductions from the exited markets and continued wind-downs in Legacy Franchises (managed basis) within All Other (managed basis). Citi expects to incur additional costs related to its organizational simplification in the first quarter of 2024.

Cost of Credit

Citi’s total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims was a cost of $9.2 billion, compared to $5.2 billion in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher net credit losses in Branded Cards and Retail Services, reflecting the normalization to pre-pandemic levels at the end of 2023, and net builds in the allowance for credit losses (ACL), including approximately $1.9 billion related to increases in transfer risk associated with exposures in Russia and Argentina (approximately $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter), as well as builds due to volume growth in Branded Cards and Retail Services. For additional information on Citi’s ACL, including

the builds for transfer risk, see “Significant Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates—Citi’s Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL)” below.

Net credit losses of $6.4 billion increased 70% from the prior year. Consumer net credit losses of $6.2 billion increased 71%, largely reflecting the rise in cards net credit loss rates from historically low levels. Corporate net credit losses increased to $250 million from $178 million.

Citi expects to incur higher net credit losses in 2024, primarily due to higher cards net credit loss rates, which Citi expects to rise above pre-pandemic levels and, on a full-year basis, peak in 2024. The higher net credit losses expectation is already reflected in the Company’s ACL on loans for outstanding balances at December 31, 2023.

For additional information on Citi’s consumer and corporate credit costs, see each respective business’s results of operations and “Credit Risk” below.

Capital

Citigroup’s CET1 Capital ratio was 13.4% as of December 31, 2023, compared to 13.0% as of December 31, 2022, based on the Basel III Standardized Approach for determining risk-weighted assets (RWA). The increase was primarily driven by net income, impacts from the sales of certain Asia consumer banking (Asia Consumer) businesses and beneficial net movements in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), partially offset by the payment of common dividends, share repurchases and an increase in RWA.

In 2023, Citi repurchased $2.0 billion of common shares and paid $4.1 billion of common dividends (see “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Repurchases of Equity Securities and Dividends” below). Citi will continue to assess common share repurchases on a quarter-by-quarter basis given uncertainty regarding regulatory capital requirements. For additional information on capital-related risks, trends and uncertainties, see “Capital Resources—Regulatory Capital Standards and Developments” as well as “Risk Factors—Strategic Risks,” “—Operational Risks” and “—Compliance

Risks” below.

Citigroup’s Supplementary Leverage ratio as of December 31, 2023 was 5.8%, unchanged from December 31, 2022 as higher Tier 1 Capital was offset by an increase in Total Leverage Exposure. For additional information on Citi’s capital ratios and related components, see “Capital Resources” below.

Services

Services net income of $4.6 billion decreased 6%, as higher expenses and higher cost of credit were partially offset by the increase in revenues. Services expenses of $10.0 billion increased 15%, primarily driven by continued investment in technology and other risk and controls, volume-related expenses and business-led investments in Treasury and Trade Solutions (TTS), partially offset by the impact of productivity savings. Cost of credit increased to $950 million from $207 million the prior year, largely driven by an ACL build in other assets, primarily due to the reserve build for increases in transfer risk associated with exposures in Russia and Argentina.

Services revenues of $18.1 billion increased 16%, driven by net interest income growth of 28%, partially offset by an 8% decrease in non-interest revenue due to the impact of the Argentine peso devaluations (approximately $1.2 billion in 2023 and approximately $0.4 billion in 2022). Excluding this impact, non-interest revenue increased 6%.

TTS revenues of $13.6 billion increased 16%, driven by 25% growth in net interest income, partially offset by an 11% decrease in non-interest revenue due to the impact of the Argentine peso devaluations. The increase in TTS net interest income was primarily driven by higher interest rates and cost of funds management across currencies, as well as growth in deposits. Excluding the impact of the currency devaluations, non-interest revenue increased 10%, driven by continued growth in underlying drivers.

Securities Services revenues of $4.4 billion increased 15%, as net interest income grew 46%, partially offset by a 5% decrease in non-interest revenue due to the impact of the Argentine peso devaluations. The increase in net interest income was driven by higher interest rates across currencies and cost of funds management, partially offset by lower average deposits.

Excluding the impact of the currency devaluations, non-interest revenue increased 1%, driven by increased fees from higher AUC/AUA balances from new client business and deepening share of existing client wallet, as well as continued elevated levels of corporate activity in Issuer Services.

For additional information on the results of operations of Services in 2023, see “Services” below.

Markets

Markets net income of $4.0 billion decreased 33%, driven by lower revenues, higher expenses and higher cost of credit. Markets expenses of $13.2 billion increased 7%, primarily driven by investments in transformation, technology and other risk and controls, partially offset by productivity savings. Cost of credit increased to $437 million from $155 million in the prior year, driven by an ACL build in other assets, largely due to the reserve build for increases in transfer risk associated with exposures in Russia and Argentina.

Markets revenues of $18.9 billion decreased 6%, driven by a 6% decrease in Fixed Income markets and a 9% decrease in Equity markets. The decrease in Fixed Income was driven by a decrease in rates and currencies and spread products reflecting lower volatility, the impact of the Argentine peso devaluations, a strong prior-year comparison and a significant slowdown in activity in December 2023. The decrease in Equity markets was primarily due to a decline in equity derivatives, due to lower institutional activity, spread compression and lower volatility.

For additional information on the results of operations of Markets in 2023, see “Markets” below.

Banking

Banking reported a net loss of $48 million, compared to net income of $386 million in the prior year, primarily driven by lower Corporate Lending revenues, including the impact of a loss on loan hedges, and higher expenses, partially offset by lower cost of credit. Banking expenses of $4.9 billion increased 9%, primarily driven by the absence of an

operational loss reserve release in the prior year, business-led investments and the impact of business-as-usual severance, partially offset by productivity savings. Cost of credit was a benefit of $165 million, compared to cost of credit of $549 million in the prior year, driven by ACL releases in loans and unfunded lending commitments, partially offset by an ACL build in other assets.

Banking revenues of $4.6 billion decreased 15%, including the $443 million loss on loan hedges in 2023 and the $307 million gain on loan hedges in the prior year. Excluding the gain (loss) on loan hedges, Banking revenues of $5.0 billion decreased 2%, as slightly higher revenues in Investment Banking were more than offset by lower Corporate Lending revenues. Investment Banking revenues of $2.5 billion increased 1%, driven by lower markdowns in non-investment-grade loan commitments. The increase in revenue was largely offset by an overall decline in global investment banking wallet, as heightened macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility continued to impact client activity. Excluding the impact of the gain (loss) on loan hedges, Corporate Lending revenues decreased 4%, largely driven by lower volumes on continued balance sheet optimization. The decline in revenues also reflected approximately $134 million in translation losses in Argentina due to devaluations of the Argentine peso, including a $64 million translation loss in the fourth quarter of 2023. (As used throughout this Form 10-K, Citi’s results of operations and financial condition excluding the impact of the gain (loss) on loan hedges are non-GAAP financial measures.)

For additional information on the results of operations of Banking in 2023, see “Banking” below.

U.S. Personal Banking

USPB net income of $1.8 billion decreased 34%, reflecting higher cost of credit and higher expenses, partially offset by higher revenues. USPB expenses increased 3%, primarily driven by continued investments in other risk and controls and technology, business-led investments and business-as-usual severance costs, partially offset by productivity savings. Cost of credit increased to $6.7 billion, compared to $3.4 billion in the prior year. The increase was largely driven by higher net credit losses and a higher net ACL build, primarily reflecting growth in loan balances in Branded Cards and Retail Services. Net credit losses increased 79%, primarily reflecting normalization from historically low levels in U.S. cards, as net credit loss rates for both Branded Cards and Retail Services reached pre-pandemic levels at the end of 2023.

USPB revenues of $19.2 billion increased 14%, due to higher net interest income (up 12%), driven by strong loan growth and higher deposit spreads, as well as higher non-interest revenue (up 19%). Branded Cards revenues of $10.0 billion increased 11%, primarily driven by the higher net interest income, as average loans increased 13%. Retail Services revenues of $6.6 billion increased 21%, primarily driven by the higher net interest income from loan growth, as well as higher non-interest revenue due to the lower partner payments, driven by higher net credit losses. Retail Banking revenues of $2.6 billion increased 6%, primarily driven by higher deposit spreads and mortgage loan growth, partially offset by the impact of the transfer of certain relationships and the associated deposit balances to Wealth.

For additional information on the results of operations of USPB in 2023, see “U.S. Personal Banking” below.

Wealth

Wealth net income of $346 million decreased 64%, reflecting lower revenues and higher expenses, partially offset by lower cost of credit. Wealth expenses increased 10% to $6.6 billion, primarily driven by continued investments in other risk and controls and technology, partially offset by productivity savings and re-pacing of strategic investments. Cost of credit was a net benefit of $2 million, compared to cost of credit of $306 million in the prior year, largely driven by a net ACL release.

Wealth revenues of $7.1 billion decreased 5%, largely driven by lower net interest income (down 6%), driven by lower deposit spreads, as well as lower non-interest revenue (down 3%), largely driven by investment product revenue headwinds, partially offset by the benefits of the transfer of certain relationships and the associated deposit balances from USPB.

For additional information on the results of operations of Wealth in 2023, see “Wealth” below.

All Other(Managed Basis)

All Other (managed basis) net loss of $2.1 billion, compared to net income of $163 million in the prior year, was driven by higher expenses, primarily due to the $1.7 billion FDIC special assessment, and higher cost of credit due to ACL builds for loans in Mexico Consumer and other assets, reflecting an increase in transfer risk associated with exposures in Russia. The higher expenses and cost of credit were partially offset by higher revenues and the prior-year release of cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) losses (net of hedges) from AOCI, recorded in revenues (approximately $140 million pretax), and in discontinued operations (approximately $260 million pretax), related to the substantial liquidation of a U.K. consumer legacy operation (see Note 2).

Various geopolitical, macroeconomic and regulatory challenges and uncertainties continue to adversely affect economic conditions in the U.S. and globally, including, among others, continued elevated interest rates, elevated inflation, and economic and geopolitical challenges related to China, the Russia–Ukraine war and escalating conflicts in the Middle East. These and other factors have negatively impacted global economic growth rates and consumer sentiment and have resulted in a continued risk of recession in various regions and countries globally. In addition, these and other factors could adversely affect Citi’s customers, clients, businesses, funding costs, cost of credit and overall results of operations and financial condition during 2024.

CITI’S CONSENT ORDER COMPLIANCE

Citi has embarked on a multiyear transformation, with the target outcome to change Citi’s business and operating models such that they simultaneously strengthen risk and controls and improve Citi’s value to customers, clients and shareholders.

This includes efforts to effectively implement the October 2020 Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) consent orders issued to Citigroup and Citibank, respectively. In the second quarter of 2021, Citi made an initial submission to the OCC, and submitted its plans to address the consent orders to both regulators during the third quarter of 2021. Citi continues to work constructively with the regulators and provides to both regulators on an ongoing basis additional information regarding its plans and progress. Citi will continue to reflect their feedback in its project plans and execution efforts.

As discussed above, Citi’s efforts include continued investments in its transformation, including the remediation of its consent orders. Citi’s CEO has made the strengthening of Citi’s risk and control environment a strategic priority and has established a Chief Operating Officer organization to centralize program management. In addition, the Citigroup and Citibank Boards of Directors each formed a Transformation Oversight Committee, an ad hoc committee of each Board, to provide oversight of management’s remediation efforts under the consent orders. The Citi Board of Directors has determined that Citi’s plans are responsive to the Company’s objectives and that progress continues to be made on execution of the plans.

For additional information about the consent orders, see “Risk Factors—Compliance Risks” below and Citi’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 7, 2020.
