EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

First Quarter of 2018-Balanced Operating Results and Continued Momentum

As described further throughout this Executive Summary, Citi reported balanced operating results in the first quarter of 2018, reflecting continued momentum across businesses and geographies, including many of those areas where Citi has been making investments. During the quarter, Citi had revenue and loan growth in the Institutional Clients Group (ICG) and across products and all three regions in Global Consumer Banking (GCB). Citi also continued to demonstrate expense and credit discipline, resulting in positive operating leverage and an improvement in pre-tax earnings.

In the first quarter of 2018, Citi continued to return capital to shareholders. During the quarter, Citi returned approximately $3.1 billion in the form of common stock repurchases and dividends and repurchased approximately 30 million common shares as outstanding common shares declined 7% from the prior-year period. Despite the continued progress in improving the capital return for shareholders, each of Citi's key regulatory capital metrics remained strong (see "Capital" below).

While global economic growth has continued and the macroeconomic environment remains positive, there continue to be various economic, political and other risks and uncertainties that could impact Citi's businesses and future results. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could impact Citi's businesses, results of operations and financial condition during 2018, see each respective business's results of operations and "Forward-Looking Statements" below, as well as each respective business's results of operations and the "Managing Global Risk" and "Risk Factors" sections in Citi's 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

First Quarter of 2018 Summary Results

Citigroup

Citigroup reported net income of $4.6 billion, or $1.68 per share, compared to net income of $4.1 billion, or $1.35 per share, in the prior-year period. The 13% increase in net income was driven by higher revenues and a significantly lower effective tax rate due to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform), partially offset by higher expenses and cost of credit. Earnings per share increased 24% due to the growth in net income and a 7% reduction in average shares outstanding driven by the capital return to common shareholders.

Citigroup revenues of $18.9 billion in the first quarter of 2018 increased 3%, driven by 7% aggregate growth in GCB and ICG , partially offset by a 51% decrease in Corporate/Other , primarily due to the continued wind-down of legacy assets.

Citigroup's end-of-period loans increased 7% to $673 billion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation in U.S. dollars for reporting

purposes (FX translation), Citigroup's end-of-period loans grew 6%, as 7% aggregate growth in GCB and ICG was partially offset by the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate/Other (Citi's results of operations excluding the impact of FX translation are non-GAAP financial measures). Citigroup's end-of-period deposits increased 5% to $1.0 trillion versus the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of FX translation, Citigroup's deposits were up 3%, driven by a 5% increase in ICG deposits, while GCB deposits were largely unchanged.

Expenses

Citigroup operating expenses increased 2% to $10.9 billion versus the prior-year period, as the impact of higher volume-related expenses and ongoing investments were offset by efficiency savings and the wind-down of legacy assets. Year-over-year, ICG operating expenses were up 7% and GCB operating expenses increased 5%, while Corporate/Other operating expenses declined 35%, all versus the prior-year period.

Cost of Credit

Citi's total provisions for credit losses and for benefits and claims of $1.9 billion increased 12% from the prior-year period. The increase was mostly driven by a $158 million increase in net credit losses, primarily in North America GCB , and a net loan loss reserve release of $36 million, compared to a net loan loss reserve release of $77 million in the prior-year period. The increase reflected volume growth and seasoning in the North America cards portfolios, as well as a lower net reserve release in ICG .

Net credit losses of $1.9 billion increased 9% versus the prior-year period. Consumer net credit losses increased 6% to

$1.8 billion, mostly reflecting volume growth and seasoning in the North America cards portfolios. The increase in consumer net credit losses was partially offset by the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate/Other . Corporate net credit losses increased $59 million to $96 million.

For additional information on Citi's consumer and corporate credit costs and allowance for loan losses, see each respective business's results of operations and "Credit Risk" below.

Capital

Citigroup's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital and Tier 1 Capital ratios, on a fully implemented basis, were 12.1% and 13.7% as of March 31, 2018 (based on the Basel III Standardized Approach for determining risk-weighted assets), respectively, compared to 12.8% and 14.5% as of March 31, 2017 (based on the Basel III Advanced Approaches for determining risk-weighted assets). The decline in regulatory capital ratios reflected the return of capital to common shareholders and the previously disclosed approximate $6 billion reduction in Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital in the fourth quarter of 2017 due to the impact of Tax Reform, partially offset by net income. Citigroup's Supplementary Leverage ratio as of

March 31, 2018, on a fully implemented basis, was 6.7%, compared to 7.3% as of March 31, 2017. For additional information on Citi's capital ratios and related components, including the impact of Tax Reform on its capital ratios, see "Capital Resources" below.

Global Consumer Banking

GCB net income of $1.4 billion increased 40%, as higher revenues and a lower effective tax rate were partially offset by higher expenses and higher cost of credit. Operating expenses were $4.7 billion, up 5%, as higher volume-related expenses and continued investments were partially offset by efficiency savings across all three regions.

GCB revenues of $8.4 billion increased 7% versus the prior-year period, driven by growth across all regions and the impact of the Hilton portfolio sale in North America Citi-branded cards. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $150 million, partially offset by the loss of operating revenues, for a net year-over-year benefit of approximately $120 million. North America GCB revenues increased 4% to $5.2 billion, driven by higher revenues across all businesses. Citi-branded cards revenues of $2.2 billion were up 6% versus the prior-year period, driven by the sale of the Hilton portfolio. Excluding Hilton, revenues were roughly flat, as growth in interest-earning balances was mostly offset by higher cost of funds and the impact of additional partnership terms. Citi retail services revenues of $1.6 billion increased 2% versus the prior-year period, primarily reflecting continued loan growth. Retail banking revenues increased 4% from the prior-year period to $1.3 billion. Excluding mortgage revenues, retail banking revenues of $1.2 billion were up 8% from the prior-year period, driven by continued growth in deposit margins, growth in investments and loans and increased commercial banking activity.

North America GCB average deposits of $181 billion decreased 2% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower mortgage escrow balances as well as a reduction in money market balances, reflecting transfers to investments. North America GCB average retail loans of $56 billion grew 1% and assets under management of $61 billion grew 10%. Average Citi-branded card loans of $87 billion increased 5%, while Citi-branded card purchase sales of $79 billion increased 8% versus the prior-year period. Average Citi retail services loans of $47 billion increased 4% versus the prior-year period, while Citi retail services purchase sales of $17 billion were up 3%.

International GCB revenues (consisting of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB (which includes the results of operations in certain EMEA countries)) increased 13% versus the prior-year period to $3.3 billion. Excluding the impact of FX translation, international GCB revenues increased 8% versus the prior-year period. Latin America GCB revenues increased 8% versus the prior-year period , reflecting growth in cards revenues as well as volume growth across retail loans and deposits and improved deposit spreads. Asia GCB revenues increased 7% (6% excluding a modest one-time gain in the first quarter of 2018) versus the prior-year period, primarily

reflecting an increase in wealth management and cards revenues. For additional information on the results of operations of Latin America GCB and Asia GCB for the first quarter of 2018, including the impact of FX translation, see " Global Consumer Banking-Latin America GCB " and " Global Consumer Banking-Asia GCB " below.

Year-over-year, international GCB average deposits of $128 billion increased 3%, average retail loans of $91 billion increased 4%, assets under management of $103 billion increased 10%, average card loans of $25 billion increased 4% and card purchase sales of $26 billion increased 7%, all excluding the impact of FX translation.

Institutional Clients Group

ICG net income of $3.3 billion increased 11%, driven by higher revenues and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher operating expenses and cost of credit. ICG operating expenses increased 7% to $5.5 billion, driven by the impact of FX translation and a higher level of investment spending.

ICG revenues were $9.8 billion in the first quarter of 2018, up 6% from the prior-year period, primarily driven by a 9% increase in Banking revenues and a 3% increase in Markets and securities services . The increase in Banking revenues included the impact of $23 million of gains on loan hedges within corporate lending, compared to losses of $115 million in the prior-year period.

Banking revenues of $4.8 billion (excluding the impact of gains (losses) on loan hedges within corporate lending) increased 6%, driven by solid growth in treasury and trade solutions, private bank and corporate lending , partially offset by lower revenues in investment banking. Investment banking revenues of $1.1 billion decreased 10% versus the prior-year period, reflecting declines in the overall market wallet and the timing of episodic deal activity. Advisory revenues decreased 14% to $215 million, equity underwriting revenues decreased 14% to $216 million and debt underwriting revenues decreased 8% to $699 million, all versus the prior-year period.

Private bank revenues increased 21% to $904 million, versus the prior-year period, driven by growth in clients, loans, investments and deposits, as well as improved deposit spreads. Corporate lending revenues increased 68% to $544 million. Excluding the impact of gains (losses) on loan hedges, corporate lending revenues increased 19% versus the prior-year period, primarily driven by loan growth and lower hedging costs. Treasury and trade solutions revenues of $2.3 billion increased 8% versus the prior-year period, reflecting volume growth and improved deposit spreads, with growth in both net interest and fee income.

Markets and securities services revenues of $5.0 billion increased 3% from the prior-year period, as strong revenue growth in equity markets and securities services was partially offset by a decline in fixed income markets revenues. Fixed income markets revenues of $3.4 billion decreased 7% from the prior-year period, driven by a less favorable environment and lower investor client activity in G10 rates and spread products, partially offset by strong corporate client activity in G10 foreign exchange and local markets rates and currencies. Equity markets revenues of $1.1 billion increased 38% from the prior-year period, with growth across all products, as

volatility increased and momentum with investor clients continued. Securities services revenues of $641 million increased 16%, driven by continued growth in client volumes and higher interest revenue. For additional information on the results of operations of ICG for the first quarter of 2018, see " Institutional Clients Group " below.

Corporate/Other

Corporate/Other net loss was $86 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $97 million in the prior-year period, reflecting lower revenues, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Operating expenses of $741 million declined 35% from the prior-year period, largely reflecting the wind-down of legacy assets.

Corporate/Other revenues were $591 million, down 51% from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the continued wind-down of legacy assets.

For additional information on the results of operations of Corporate/Other for the first quarter of 2018, see " Corporate/Other " below.

1Q18 vs. 1Q17

Net income increased 36% due to higher revenues and a lower effective tax rate due to the impact of Tax Reform, partially offset by higher expenses and higher cost of credit.

Revenues increased 4%, reflecting higher revenues across retail banking, Citi retail services and Citi-branded cards, which included the impact of the Hilton portfolio sale (see below).

Retail banking revenues increased 4%. Excluding mortgage revenues ( decline of 18%), retail banking revenues were up 8%, driven by continued growth in deposit margins, growth in both assets under management (up 10%) and average loans (up 1%), as well as increased commercial banking activity. The decline in mortgage revenues was driven by lower origination activity and higher cost of funds reflecting the higher interest rate environment.

Cards revenues increased 4%. In Citi-branded cards, revenues increased 6%, driven by the impact of the Hilton portfolio sale, which resulted in a gain of approximately $150 million in the first quarter of 2018, partially offset by the loss of operating revenues, for a net year-over-year benefit of approximately $120 million. Excluding Hilton, revenues were largely unchanged, as growth in interest-earning balances was offset by higher cost of funds and the impact of additional partnership terms. Average loans increased 5% and purchase sales increased 8%.

Citi retail services revenues increased 2%, reflecting continued loan growth. Average loans increased 4% and purchase sales increased 3%.

Expenses increased 2%, as higher volume-related expenses and continued investments were partially offset by efficiency savings.

Provisions increased 5% from the prior-year period, driven by higher net credit losses, partially offset by a lower net loan loss reserve build.

Net credit losses increased 9% to $1.3 billion, largely driven by higher net credit losses in Citi-branded cards (up 3% to $651 million) and Citi retail services (up 16% to $602 million). The increase in net credit losses primarily reflected volume growth and seasoning in both cards portfolios as well as an increase in net flow rates in later delinquency buckets versus the prior-year period, primarily in Citi retail services.

The net loan loss reserve build in the first quarter of 2018 was $119 million (compared to a build of $159 million in the prior-year period), as volume growth and seasoning in both cards portfolios were partially offset by a loan loss reserve release in the commercial portfolio.

Average deposits increased 2%. Retail lending revenues modestly improved (up 1%), as an increase in volumes (average loans up 3%) was largely offset by spread compression.

Cards revenues increased 5%, reflecting 3% growth in average loans and 7% growth in purchase sales, both of which benefited from the previously disclosed portfolio acquisition in Australia in the first quarter of 2017.

Expenses increased 3%, resulting from volume growth and ongoing investment spending, partially offset by efficiency savings.

Institutional Clients Group (ICG) includes Banking and Markets and securities services (for additional information on these businesses, see "Citigroup Segments" above). 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 with transactional services and clearing, providing brokerage and investment banking services and other such activities. Such fees are recognized at the point in time when Citigroup's performance under the terms of a contractual arrangement is completed, which is typically at the trade/execution date or closing of a transaction. Revenue generated from these activities is recorded in Commissions and fees and Investment banking . Revenue is also generated from assets under custody and administration which is recognized as/when the associated promised service is satisfied, which normally occurs at the point in time the service is requested by the customer and provided by Citi. Revenue generated from these activities is primarily recorded in Administration and other fiduciary fees . For additional information on these various types of revenues, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 (for additional information on Principal transactions revenue, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Other primarily includes mark-to-market gains and losses on certain credit derivatives, gains and losses on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities, gains and losses on equity securities not held in trading accounts, and other non-recurring gains and losses. Interest income earned on assets held, less interest paid to customers on deposits and long- and short-term debt, is recorded as Net interest revenue .

The amount and types of Markets revenues are impacted by a variety of interrelated factors, including market liquidity; changes in market variables such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and credit spreads, as well as their implied volatilities; investor confidence; and other macroeconomic conditions. Assuming all other market conditions do not change, increases in client activity levels or bid/offer spreads generally result in increases in revenues. However, changes in market conditions can significantly impact client activity levels, bid/offer spreads and the fair value of product inventory. For example, a decrease in market liquidity may increase bid/offer spreads, decrease client activity levels and widen credit spreads on product inventory positions.

ICG 's management of the Markets businesses involves daily monitoring and evaluating of the above factors at the trading desk as well as the country level. ICG does not separately track the impact on total Markets revenues of the volume of transactions, bid/offer spreads, fair value changes of product inventory positions and economic hedges because, as noted above, these components are interrelated and are not deemed useful or necessary individually to manage the Markets businesses at an aggregate level.

In the Markets businesses, client revenues are those revenues directly attributable to client transactions at the time of inception, including commissions, interest or fees earned. Client revenues do not include the results of client facilitation activities (for example, holding product inventory in anticipation of client demand) or the results of certain economic hedging activities.

ICG 's international presence is supported by trading floors in approximately 80 countries and a proprietary network in 98 countries and jurisdictions. At March 31, 2018 , ICG had approximately $1.4 trillion of assets and $666 billion of deposits, while two of its businesses-securities services and issuer services-managed approximately $17.7 trillion of assets under custody compared to $15.9 trillion at the end of the prior-year period.
