Summary

Citigroup Inc. (C) reported a strong second quarter of 2015, with net income of $4.8 billion, or $1.51 per diluted share, a significant improvement from the prior-year period's $181 million, or $0.03 per share. Excluding certain items like CVA/DVA and the prior-year mortgage settlement charge, adjusted net income was $4.7 billion, or $1.45 per diluted share, up 18% year-over-year, driven by lower expenses, reduced credit losses, and a lower tax rate, partially offset by softer revenues. Citicorp, the company's core banking franchise, saw net income increase by 27% to $4.7 billion, driven by growth in the Institutional Clients Group (ICG) and improved performance in Global Consumer Banking (GCB) ex-U.S. The ongoing wind-down of Citi Holdings continued, with assets reduced by 22% year-over-year and the segment remaining profitable. The company also continued to strengthen its capital position, with Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratios increasing and operating expenses decreasing 30% year-over-year, aided by lower legal and repositioning expenses, and the positive impact of foreign exchange translation. Investors should note the continued focus on expense discipline and the ongoing wind-down of non-core assets as key drivers of performance.
