CITIGROUP INC 8-K Report, Financial Results (Apr 2, 2014)

Filed April 2, 2014For Securities:CC-PNC-PR

Summary

Citigroup Inc. (C) filed an 8-K on April 2, 2014, primarily to provide investors with a revised Historical Quarterly Financial Data Supplement for the year ended December 31, 2013. This revision is largely to reflect changes in the company's internal reporting structure for its Institutional Clients Group (ICG) segment, effective January 1, 2014. While specific business activities within Securities and Banking and Transaction Services have been realigned and aggregated into 'Banking' and 'Markets and Securities Services' components within ICG, the company explicitly states that these changes do not impact total segment-level information or consolidated net income and earnings per share for any periods presented. The primary purpose of this filing is to facilitate a more consistent comparison for upcoming first-quarter 2014 financial results. Investors should note that the core financial performance metrics, such as net income and EPS, remain unaffected by these reporting reclassifications. The company is providing this updated historical data to align with the reporting format it will use for its Q1 2014 earnings release on April 14, 2014.
