EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Citi's first quarter of 2016 results of operations reflected a challenging macro environment characterized by market volatility and continued uncertainties. While these issues somewhat abated during the latter part of the quarter, the overall environment during the quarter drove year-over-year revenue declines in Citi's market sensitive businesses, primarily its markets and investment banking businesses in the Institutional Clients Group (ICG) as well as its wealth management business in Asia Global Consumer Banking (GCB) . Due in part to this environment, Citi announced additional repositioning actions during the quarter, incurring a charge of roughly $400 million in Citicorp to further streamline operations and reduce capacity in certain areas while maintaining its client-facing capabilities.

As described further in this Executive Summary, despite the challenging environment during the quarter, Citi showed continued progress in several areas. In North America GCB, Citi's ongoing investments in Citi-branded cards drove growth in average loans and purchase sales, and the accrual and transaction businesses in ICG - treasury and trade solutions, corporate lending, private bank and securities services - exhibited continued growth in the aggregate. In Citicorp, loans increased 5% and deposits increased 6% while Citi's overall balance sheet decreased by 1% (each excluding the impact of foreign currency translation into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes (FX translation)). Citi utilized approximately $1.6 billion in deferred tax assets (DTAs) (for additional information, see "Income Taxes" below), which contributed to a net increase of $6 billion of regulatory capital during the quarter and Citi's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio, on a fully implemented basis, of 12.3% as of March 31, 2016. In addition, despite the higher repositioning charge during the quarter, Citigroup's expenses declined by 3% overall.

As noted above, while the macro and market environment somewhat stabilized during the latter part of the first quarter of 2016, Citi expects the operating environment to continue to be challenging, as many risks and uncertainties remain. For a more detailed discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see each respective business' results of operations, "Managing Global Risk" and "Forward-Looking Statements" below as well as the "Risk Factors" section in Citi's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

First Quarter 2016 Summary Results

Citigroup

Citigroup reported net income of $3.5 billion, or $1.10 per share, compared to $4.8 billion, or $1.51 per share, in the prior-year period. Results in the first quarter of 2015 included negative $73 million (negative $47 million after-tax) of CVA/DVA.

Excluding the impact of CVA/DVA in the prior-year period (for information on Citi's adoption in the first quarter of 2016 of a new accounting standard relating to the reporting

of CVA/DVA, see Notes 1 and 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), Citigroup also reported net income of $3.5 billion in the first quarter of 2016, or $1.10 per share, compared to $4.8 billion, or $1.52 per share, in the prior-year period. (Citi's results of operations excluding the impact of CVA/DVA are non-GAAP financial measures.) The 27% decrease from the prior-year period was primarily driven by lower revenues and a higher cost of credit, partially offset by lower expenses.

Citi's revenues were $17.6 billion in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of 11% from the prior-year period. Excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015, revenues were also down 11% from the prior-year period, as Citicorp revenues decreased 9% and Citi Holdings revenues decreased 31%. Excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015 and the impact of FX translation (which lowered revenues by approximately $600 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the prior- year period), Citigroup revenues decreased 9% from the prior-year period, driven by a 6% decrease in Citicorp revenues and a 29% decrease in Citi Holdings' revenues. (Citi's results of operations excluding the impact of FX translation are non-GAAP financial measures.)

Expenses

Citigroup expenses decreased 3% versus the prior-year period as lower expenses in Citi Holdings, lower legal and related expenses and the impact of FX translation were partially offset by the higher repositioning costs and ongoing investments in Citicorp. Citigroup expenses in the first quarter of 2016 included legal and related expenses of $166 million, compared to $388 million in the prior-year period and $491 million of repositioning costs, compared to $16 million in the prior-year period. FX translation lowered expenses by approximately $377 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the prior-year period.

Citicorp expenses increased 2% driven by the higher repositioning costs, which Citi expects will yield expense savings in future periods, and ongoing investments in the franchise, partially offset by efficiency savings and the impact of FX translation. Citicorp expenses in the first quarter of 2016 included legal and related expenses of $226 million, compared to $317 million in the prior-year period, and $394 million of repositioning costs, compared to $4 million in the prior-year period.

Citi Holdings' expenses were $828 million, down 40% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by the ongoing decline in Citi Holdings assets as well as lower legal and related expenses, partially offset by higher repositioning costs.

Credit Costs

Citi's total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims of $2.0 billion increased 7% from the prior-year period, as a net loan loss reserve build was partially offset by lower net credit losses.

Net credit losses of $1.7 billion declined 12% versus the prior-year period. Consumer net credit losses declined 23% to

$1.5 billion, mostly reflecting continued improvements in North America Citi-branded cards in Citicorp as well as the improvement in the North America mortgage portfolio and ongoing divestiture activity within Citi Holdings. Corporate net credit losses increased $218 million to $211 million, primarily related to the continued deterioration in the energy and energy-related portfolio (for additional information, see " Institutional Clients Group " and "Credit Risk-Corporate Credit" below).

The net build of allowance for loan losses and unfunded lending commitments was $233 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to a $239 million release in the prior-year period. Citicorp's net reserve build was $266 million, compared to a net loan loss reserve release of $62 million in the prior-year period. The build in the first quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by net loan loss reserve builds in ICG, including approximately $260 million for energy and energy-related exposures. Outside of the energy-related sectors, Citi's credit quality largely remained stable during the quarter. The allowance for loan losses attributable to energy and energy-related loans in ICG represented 4.2% of funded exposures as of the first quarter of 2016.

Citi Holdings' net reserve release decreased $144 million from the prior-year period to $33 million, primarily reflecting the impact of asset sales.

For additional information on Citi's consumer and corporate credit costs and allowance for loan losses, see "Credit Risk" below.

Capital

As noted above, Citi continued to grow its regulatory capital during the first quarter of 2016, even as it returned approximately $1.5 billion of capital to its shareholders in the form of common stock repurchases and dividends. Citigroup's Tier 1 Capital and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratios, on a fully implemented basis, were 13.8% and 12.3% as of March 31, 2016, respectively, compared to 12.1% and 11.1% as of March 31, 2015 (all based on the Basel III Advanced Approaches for determining risk-weighted assets). Citigroup's Supplementary Leverage ratio as of March 31, 2016, on a fully implemented basis, was 7.4%, compared to 6.4% as of March 31, 2015. For additional information on Citi's capital ratios and related components, including the impact of Citi's DTAs on its capital ratios, see "Capital Resources" below.

Citicorp

Citicorp net income decreased 32% from the prior-year period to $3.2 billion. CVA/DVA, recorded in ICG , was negative $69 million (negative $44 million after-tax) in first quarter of 2015 (for a summary of CVA/DVA by business within ICG , see " Institutional Clients Group " below). Excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015, Citicorp's net income also decreased 32% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by the lower revenues, higher expenses and higher cost of credit.

Citicorp revenues decreased 9% from the prior-year period to $16.1 billion. Excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015, Citicorp revenues also decreased 9% from the prior-year period, reflecting a 12% decrease in ICG revenues and a 6% decrease in GCB revenues. As referenced above,

excluding CVA/DVA in the prior-year period and the impact of FX translation, Citicorp's revenues decreased 6%, mostly driven by the decline in revenues in Citi's market sensitive businesses and the impact of continued investments in Citi-branded cards, each as referred to above.

GCB revenues of $7.8 billion decreased 6% versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, GCB revenues decreased 3%, as decreases in North America GCB and Asia GCB were partially offset by an increase in Latin America GCB . North America GCB revenues decreased 4% to $4.9 billion, as lower revenues in Citi-branded cards and retail banking were partially offset by higher revenues in Citi retail services. Citi-branded cards revenues of $1.9 billion were down 6% versus the prior-year period, reflecting continued increased acquisition and rewards costs as investments in business growth continued, partially offset by the impact of growth in average loans and purchase sales. Citi retail services revenues of $1.7 billion increased 3% versus the prior-year period, primarily driven by gains on the sale of two small cards portfolios. Retail banking revenues decreased 8% from the prior-year period to $1.3 billion. Excluding the previously-disclosed $110 million gain on the sale of branches in Texas in the prior-year period, retail banking revenues were largely unchanged as continued growth in loans and checking deposits as well as improved deposit spreads were offset by lower mortgage gain on sale revenues.

North America GCB average deposits of $181 billion were largely unchanged year-over-year and average retail banking loans of $53 billion grew 11%. Average branded card loans of $65 billion increased 1%, while branded card purchase sales of $46 billion increased 12% versus the prior-year period. Average retail services loans of $44 billion were largely unchanged, while retail services purchase sales of $17 billion increased 2% versus the prior-year period. For additional information on the results of operations of North America GCB for the first quarter of 2016, see " Global Consumer Banking - North America GCB " below.

International GCB revenues (consisting of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB (which includes EMEA GCB for reporting purposes)) decreased 11% versus the prior-year period to $2.9 billion. Excluding the impact of FX translation, international GCB revenues decreased 2% versus the prior-year period. Latin America GCB revenues increased 2% versus the prior-year period , as the impact of growth in retail banking loans, deposits and card purchase sales was partially offset by continued declines in card balances. Asia GCB revenues declined 4% versus the prior-year period, driven by lower investment sales revenues reflecting the weak market sentiment as well as continued regulatory pressure in cards, partially offset by volume growth. For additional information on the results of operations of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB for the first quarter of 2016, including the impact of FX translation, see " Global Consumer Banking " below. Year-over-year, international GCB average deposits of $115 billion increased 5%, average retail loans of $87 billion increased 1%, investment sales of $12 billion decreased 38%, average card loans of $23 billion increased 2% and card purchase sales of $22 billion increased 4%, all excluding the impact of FX translation.

ICG revenues were $8.0 billion in the first quarter of 2016, down 11% from the prior-year period. Excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015, ICG revenues decreased 12% driven by a 15% decrease in Markets and securities services revenues and a 9% decrease in Banking revenues.

Banking revenues of $4.0 billion (excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015 and the impact of mark-to-market gains on hedges related to accrual loans within corporate lending (see below)) decreased 6%, compared to the prior-year period, driven by lower industry-wide investment banking activity partially offset by growth in treasury and trade solutions and the private bank. Investment banking revenues of $875 million decreased 27% versus the prior-year period. Advisory revenues decreased 23% to $227 million versus strong performance in the prior-year period. Debt underwriting revenues decreased 22% to $530 million and equity underwriting revenues decreased 49% to $118 million, largely driven by the industry-wide slowdown in activity levels during the quarter.

Private bank revenues (excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015) increased 5% to $746 million from the prior- year period, primarily driven by higher loan and deposit balances. Corporate lending revenues decreased 26% to $389 million, including $66 million of mark-to-market losses on hedges related to accrual loans, compared to a $52 million gain in the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation and the mark-to-market impact of loan hedges, corporate lending revenues decreased 2% versus the prior-year period, primarily driven by the absence of positive mark-to-market adjustments, partially offset by continued growth in average loans. Treasury and trade solutions revenues of $2.0 billion increased 3% from the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, treasury and trade solutions revenues increased 8%, as continued growth in transaction volumes and increased spreads were partially offset by lower trade revenues.

Markets and securities services revenues of $4.1 billion (excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015) decreased 15% from the prior-year period. Fixed income markets revenues of $3.1 billion (excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015) decreased 11% from the prior-year period, reflecting lower activity levels and a less favorable environment in securitized products and commodities, partially offset by growth in rates and currencies. Equity markets revenues of $706 million (excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015) decreased 19% versus the prior-year period, reflecting the impact of lower volumes in cash equities as well as weaker performance in derivatives. Securities services revenues of $562 million increased 3% versus the prior-year period, largely reflecting a gain on sale, partially offset by the impact of FX translation. For additional information on the results of operations of ICG for the first quarter of 2016, see " Institutional Clients Group " below.

Corporate/Other revenues were $274 million, up 29% from the prior-year period, mostly reflecting higher investment income. For additional information on the results of operations of Corporate/Other for the first quarter of 2016, see " Corporate/Other " below.

Citicorp end-of-period loans increased 4% to $573 billion from the prior-year period, driven by a 6% increase in corporate loans and a 1% increase in consumer loans. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citicorp loans grew 5%, with 7% growth in corporate loans and 2% growth in consumer loans.

Citi Holdings

Citi Holdings' net income was $346 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $149 million in the prior-year period. CVA/DVA was negative $4 million (negative $3 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of CVA/DVA in the prior-year period, Citi Holdings' net income was $346 million, compared to $152 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting lower expenses and lower credit costs, partially offset by lower revenues.

Citi Holdings' revenues were $1.5 billion down 31% from the prior-year period. Excluding CVA/DVA in the first quarter of 2015, Citi Holdings' revenues also decreased 31% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by the overall wind-down of the portfolio, partially offset by a net gain on asset sales. For additional information on the results of operations of Citi Holdings for the first quarter of 2016, see "Citi Holdings" below.

At the end of the current quarter, Citi Holdings' assets were $73 billion, 44% below the prior-year period, and represented approximately 4% of Citi's total GAAP assets. Citi Holdings' risk-weighted assets were $130 billion as of March 31, 2016, a decrease of 29% from the prior-year period, and represented 11% of Citi's risk-weighted assets under Basel III (based on the Advanced Approaches for determining risk-weighted assets).

NM Not meaningful

1Q16 vs. 1Q15

Net income decreased by 25% due to lower revenues, higher expenses and a net loan loss reserve build, partially offset by lower net credit losses.

Revenues decreased 4%, reflecting lower revenues in retail banking and Citi-branded cards, partially offset by higher revenues in Citi retail services.

Retail banking revenues decreased 8%. Excluding the previously-disclosed $110 million gain on sale of branches in Texas in the prior-year period, revenues were largely unchanged as continued growth in average loans (11%), average checking deposits (6%) and deposit spreads were offset by lower mortgage gain on sale revenues largely reflecting lower mortgage refinance activity and lower margins. Consistent with GCB 's strategy, North America GCB closed or sold 51 branches during the current quarter (a 7% decline from year-end 2015).

Cards revenues decreased 2%. In Citi-branded cards, revenues decreased 6%, primarily reflecting the continued increased acquisition and rewards costs as well as the continued impact of high customer payment rates. The continued investment spending in Citi-branded cards has resulted, in part, in growth in average active accounts (4%), average loans (1%) and purchase sales (12%).

Citi retail services revenues increased 3% due to gains on sales of two small cards portfolios, partially offset by higher contractual partner payments. Purchase sales increased 2% while average loans were largely unchanged, despite the impact of the card portfolio sales.

Expenses increased 7%, primarily due to higher repositioning charges and the continued investment spending (including marketing, among other areas), higher volume-related expenses and higher regulatory and compliance costs, partially offset by ongoing cost reduction initiatives, including as a result of the branch rationalization strategy.

Provisions increased 17%, largely due to a net loan loss reserve build (approximately $80 million), compared to a loan loss reserve release in the prior-year period, partially offset by lower net credit losses (3%). The decline in net credit losses was primarily due to Citi-branded cards (down 8% to $455 million). The net loan loss reserve build was driven by energy and energy-related exposures in the commercial banking portfolio within retail banking. (For additional information on Citi's energy and energy-related exposures within commercial banking within GCB , see "Credit Risk-Commercial Credit"

below.)

North America GCB continues to expect to make additional investments in its U.S. cards businesses during the remainder of 2016, including investments in connection with Citi's planned acquisition of the Costco portfolio, the closing of which is currently expected to occur in June 2016, as well as the impact of renewing certain important partnership programs in a competitive environment (see also "Risk Factors-Operational Risks" in Citi's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K). While North America GCB believes these investments are necessary for the growth of its U.S. cards businesses, they will continue to reduce the pretax earnings of the businesses during the remainder of 2016.

1Q16 vs. 1Q15

Net income decreased 5% as higher expenses and a net loan loss reserve build were partially offset by higher revenues and lower net credit losses.

Revenues increased 2%, primarily due to volume growth in retail banking and cards purchase sales, partially offset by lower revenues from business divestitures as well as continued declines in card balances. Revenues were also impacted by continued slow economic growth in Mexico.

Retail banking revenues increased 5%, primarily due to the volume growth, including an increase in average loans (9%), average deposits (11%) and deposit spreads, partially offset by a decline in loan spreads. Cards revenues decreased 4%, driven by continued higher payment rates resulting from the business' focus on higher credit quality customers which also drove a decline in average loans (3%). These declines were partially offset by growth in purchase sales (7%). Latin America GCB expects the cards payment rates and revenues to continue to remain under pressure during the remainder of 2016.

Expenses increased 1%, primarily due to higher technology investments, volume-related costs, higher repositioning charges and higher compensation expense, partially offset by lower legal and related costs, the impact of business divestitures and ongoing efficiency savings.

Provisions increased 3% as a net loan loss reserve build was partially offset by lower net credit losses. Net credit losses decreased 8%, largely reflecting lower net credit losses incurred in the cards portfolio due the focus on higher credit quality customers. The net loan loss reserve build increased $27 million, primarily due to lower releases related to the commercial banking portfolio and cards.
