[ 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.
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.
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.
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

Our global market share in IPOs, common stock, and equity-linked deals con-

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.
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
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.
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
