ANNUAL REPORT 2002

We take this opportunity each year to reaffirm our company’s values, which are both
descriptive and aspirational. Values are meaningful to the extent that they are lived, not merely spelled out
in a company document. As described in this Annual Report, we are taking new measures to live our values.

[ 1 ] CITIGROUP 2002
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
2002 was probably the most difficult year in recent memory for the
financial services industry. In addition to the continuing weakness in
the global capital markets, many of us had to pause and reflect on the
way we conducted business and the steps we needed to take to ensure
that we serve our customers with integrity.
While the issues raised affected our entire industry in the U.S. along with many non-
financial services corporations, it quickly became clear to us that the time had come
for a frank self-appraisal—not of our values, but of how we lived those values.
Industry standards were changing dramatically and we not only had an obligation
to change with them, but a determination to help define the new standards.

We are proud to be able to say that we acted decisively and honestly, without wait-
ing for regulators to order us to change. (See Leadership in business practices,

Dear Citigroup Shareholder,
When I joined Citigroup, the potential for an institution of this scope—
geographic and product—seemed enormous. The challenge was to
make it all work. And now, three years later, I think great progress has
been made toward this end.
We have today a greatly increased and uniquely strong presence in the global econ-
omy—which creates many opportunities, but also special issues. And, again, the
challenge going forward is to realize the opportunities, to effectively address the
issues, and to manage effectively to fulfill our potential.

The post-Cold War period has seen greatly increased trade and capital flows, the
growth and inclusion in the global economy of many developing countries, the
spread of market-based economics, and vastly increased use of financial services by
consumers. Citigroup is very well positioned for this environment, but the continu-
ation of these trends is subject to somewhat greater uncertainty. Citigroup, and our
industry, can provide leadership in supporting the full range of policies that will
address the shortcomings of globalization, and so best advance its continuation.
The opportunities that lie ahead will be best realized Great organizations are always works in progress and

Global Consumer Group
The Global Consumer Group (GCG) is the financial services industry’s most powerful consumer product
engine. Indeed, if it were a separate company, the GCG would be a Fortune 10 corporation and one
of the world’s most profitable institutions.

ECONOMICS AND DEMOGRAPHICS
If there is a silver lining to the sluggish global economy, it may be the
response of central banks. In the U.S., for example, record low mortgage
rates spurred another wave of refinancing, which contributed to all-time
high volume for our mortgage and home equity loan businesses. In addi-
tion, the efficiency and service level of our student loan business was
boosted by the growing popularity of nearly paperless transactions—an
innovation embraced by schools and students alike.

We also began to broaden our reach to the growing market of Hispanic


customers in the U.S. Our Banamex business in Mexico and Golden State
in California and Nevada enhanced our ability to serve this important
community, which recently became the largest U.S. minority group.
The introduction of the Citibank Money Card and the ability to open an
account with a Mexican Consular ID were important steps in developing
Citibank as the financial services provider of choice for the Hispanic
population throughout the U.S.

To better serve our Spanish-speaking customers, we created a Spanish lan-


guage student loan site, provided applications for many of our financial
products in Spanish, and offered ATM services in Spanish, among other
languages. Our International Personal Banking (IPB) businesses continued
to forge cross-border alliances, linking offshore banking customers to our
global IPB network.

TRANSFERRING SUCCESS
The ability to “export” proven products, services, and programs to new
markets is a core measure of our success. In Germany, for example, our con-
sumer business has evolved from primarily offering loans to full-service retail
banking, and the card business there introduced the Vodafone MasterCard,
leveraging a successful existing relationship with Citibank in Greece. In
Japan, we are building on the success of our operations, even in the face of a
challenging economic environment. Our consumer business there is recog-
nized as the premier provider of retail banking and credit card services. Its
diverse offerings—local and foreign currency deposits, investment products,
and credit cards—provide unique solutions to individual needs.

We migrated Citiphone® call capability from the U.K., France, and Belgium
to our European call center in Barcelona and launched new CitiFinancial
businesses in Poland and Denmark. Primerica is also expanding interna-
tionally, particularly in Spain and the U.K., by adapting its proven business
model to local markets.

[ 10 ] CITIGROUP 2002 GLOBAL CONSUMER GROUP


CREDIT CARDS
In a highly competitive market, Citi Cards in North America is the industry
leader with more than 120 million cards and we are continually developing
new products and services. In 2002, the business continued to diversify its
profit streams and strengthen its service sales culture, which resulted in
record customer satisfaction scores.

The anticipated launch of The Home Depot and Shell credit cards in 2003
will contribute further growth, while the success of the industry-leading
Citi® AAdvantage, Citi® Platinum Select®, and AT&T Universal cards contin-
ues to provide a solid foundation for the business. At the same time, Diners
Club Rewards was voted the best card reward program, further establishing
Citi Cards as the industry leader in quality, service, and management control.

EMBEDDED IN THE COMMUNITY


One of our goals at Citigroup is to make communities better wherever we
operate. In countless communities around the world, the Global Consumer
Group serves as a catalyst, providing capital for community groups and
non-governmental organizations to help people achieve their aims, and
offering families access to financial services, many for the first time.

We help families fulfill their dreams of owning a home, putting their chil-
dren through college, and preparing for a comfortable retirement. We also
provide the capital that enables entrepreneurs to start businesses and com-
munities to grow and prosper. We offer our customers the best service,
products, innovation, and information in the industry, while consistently
delivering strong results for our shareholders.

We have our 130,000 Global Consumer Group employees to thank for this
record of success, which is a reflection of their talent and commitment to
our customers and shareholders. We stand ready to make 2003 another
record-setting year by continuing to focus on the needs of our customers.

Global Equities Online (GEO)—our institutional equity portal—continued to
grow in 2002, providing equity research and interactive tools to more than
48,000 users. GEO also converted its paper mailings to e-mail, cutting costs and
speeding service.

Our global market share in IPOs, common stock, and equity-linked deals con-
tinued to grow. In fact, we were the only firm among the top five to increase
market share in global equity underwriting last year. Our Japanese joint ven-
ture, Nikko Citigroup, maintained its position as Japan’s top equity and
equity-linked underwriter for the fourth consecutive year. International
Financing Review recognized these accomplishments by naming Citigroup the
U.S. Equity House of the Year, Global Equity-Linked House of the Year, and
Asia Pacific Equity-Linked House of the Year.

In 2002, we raised $40.5 billion of capital in public and private markets for
80 projects in 34 countries and provided advisory services to another 34 proj-
ects in 19 countries with a financing value of some $49 billion.

ADVISORY SERVICES
The dramatic strides made in global announced mergers and acquisitions, where
we climbed from the number six advisor to number two, reflect the growing
breadth of Citigroup’s advisory business. Even as the overall volume of announced
mergers fell again in 2002, our market share continued to rise. Our unmatched
presence around the world helped lead to this dramatic gain, especially in Europe,
where we advised on three of the five largest deals and undertook a focused effort
to become the primary advisor for our clients.

We have earned a central position in strategic conversations with clients, on


topics ranging from traditional advice on mergers and selling non-core assets
to corporate governance and restructuring balance sheets. We are increasingly
assuming the role of trusted advisor to companies of all sizes in all industry
groups around the world, and we are well positioned to continue building on
this momentum.

Among this year’s noteworthy M&A transactions, we advised Northrop Grumman


on its takeover of TRW, and IBM on its acquisition of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLC’s consulting division. We also helped create the first dual-listed transatlantic
company in the Princess/Carnival merger. All three of these transactions were
named Deals of the Year by Investment Dealers Digest; they showcased our
bankers’ talents for thoughtful and long-term strategic thinking in behalf of
our clients during particularly difficult market conditions.

CITICAPITAL
In 2002, CitiCapital, the commercial finance arm of Citigroup, continued to
integrate earlier acquisitions, strengthen its operations, and focus on core lines of
business. With approximately $30 billion in managed receivables, CitiCapital is

[ 14 ] CITIGROUP 2002 GLOBAL CORPORATE & INVESTMENT BANK


one of the top three equipment finance/leasing companies in the U.S., serving
the transportation, industrial equipment, business technology, healthcare, energy,
and franchise finance sectors, among others. It is also a leading provider of mas-
ter-leasing programs to large corporations.

While profitability improved in 2002, this business was affected by credit con-
ditions across several sectors, along with the costs of integrating and enhancing
diverse legacy systems and operations. In 2003, our aim is to improve opera-
tional controls and thus increase profitability and returns.

GLOBAL TRANSACTION SERVICES


Citigroup created Global Transaction Services (GTS) in 2002 to integrate our
award-winning transaction services businesses: Cash, Trade and Treasury
Services and Global Securities Services. GTS saw a significant increase in net
income, client base, and market share and, through its realignment, is better
equipped to deliver cash management, treasury, trade finance, custody, clearing,
depository receipt, and agency and trust services to financial institutions and
corporations worldwide.

With global reach and local presence, GTS serves clients who have assets and
businesses in multiple countries and regions, and require integrated reporting
and management. Our Internet-based cash management, electronic bill
payment and presentment, reporting and analytics, securities processing, and
other capabilities enable clients to re-engineer processes, manage working capi-
tal more effectively, and improve straight-through processing.

Our use of technology to increase efficiency has led to tangible results for those
we serve. For example, CitiDirect® Online Banking, our web-based corporate
banking platform, which is available in 20 languages, increases efficiency and
improves the ability of corporate treasurers to make critical cash management
decisions. CitiDirect is the result of several years spent linking the back office
systems of 90 countries, and it enables us to retire outdated and less powerful
systems and move training and client care online.

The leading indicators of this business overall are liability balances and assets
under custody. With a consistent increase in market share, we now have more
than $85 billion in liability balances and our assets under custody have contin-
ued to grow, topping $5 trillion. Our global clearing and custody platform is
one of the most acclaimed in the industry. We also achieved industry-leading
results in virtually all the major external client satisfaction surveys and won
dozens of the industry’s top honors, including World’s Best Internet Bank and
World’s Best Online Cash Management Bank from Global Finance magazine;
Top-Ranked Global Custodian from Institutional Investor; and Most Popular
Settlement Bank for Equities and Fixed Income from Global Investor.

The nine key product lines of Citigroup
Citigroup focuses on nine distinct product lines operating within four out of our five business groups—Global
Consumer Group, Global Corporate & Investment Bank, Global Investment Management, and Smith Barney. Our fifth
business group, Citigroup International, manages the operations of these same businesses outside of North Anerica
from a geographic, not a product, perspective. For a breakdown of our revenues by geography, see inside back cover.

Below you will find financial results for each of the nine product lines—net income and a key indicator of the health
of that business—along with some highlights. This page is perforated for handy reference.

[ 26] CITIGROUP 2002


Leadership in business practices
In 2002, a number of financial services industry practices came under sharp scrutiny by the U.S.
Congress, regulators, and investors. To reaffirm our commitment to highly ethical conduct, Citigroup
launched a series of rapid reforms that raised standards of business practices for our company and the
financial services industry.

TO ASSURE THE INDEPENDENCE OF OUR RESEARCH ANALYSTS


MAY 21 first firm to voluntarily embrace principles established by New York’s Attorney General: severed link
between compensation for analysts and investment banking revenue and prohibited investment bank-
ing input into analyst evaluation
JUNE 3 adopted substantially all new NASD and New York Stock Exchange rules early; implemented full set
of disclosures required under the rules; established gatekeeping procedures for research review; went
beyond the rules, restricting review of draft research on public companies by analysts
JULY 29 voluntarily adopted SEC’s Regulation AC: analysts must certify that the views expressed in their
research accurately reflect their personal views, and that they have not been compensated, directly
or indirectly, for expressing a specific recommendation
AUGUST 6 established new Research Policy Committee in the U.S.: provides enhanced and ongoing review of
our research product, reviews proposed stock and industry coverage before initiation, and provides
input on analyst performance to senior management
OCTOBER 30 created new Smith Barney business unit to further segregate Equity Research from Investment
Banking (see page 18)

TO AVOID AUDITOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST


JULY 25 announced new plan to use outside auditors only to execute audit and tax-related work and not per-
form consulting work; called for independent authority to establish and enforce accounting standards

TO ENSURE TRANSPARENCY AND DISCLOSURE OF STRUCTURED FINANCE TRANSACTIONS


AUGUST 7 launched new disclosure policy: Citigroup will execute a material financing transaction only if client
company agrees to publicly disclose to its investors the net effect of the transaction on the financial
condition of the company

TO EXPENSE OPTIONS AND AFFIRM STOCK OWNERSHIP COMMITMENT


AUGUST 7 announced new policy on stock options: Citigroup will account for all stock options for management,
employees, and members of its Board as an expense, effective January 1, 2003
AUGUST 7 affirmed “blood oath”: senior management must hold 75 percent of all Citigroup stock they own at
the time they become subject to the commitment, as well as 75 percent of any stock they acquire
from the company

TO ENHANCE OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PROCESS


AUGUST 7 established Nomination and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors
SEPTEMBER 6 lowered the expected rate of return on our U.S. pension plan from 91⁄2 percent to 8 percent, while
ensuring that the Accumulated Benefit Obligation is fully funded
OCTOBER 1 announced a policy to eliminate interlocking directorates on Citigroup’s Board
