Citigroup (NYSE: C) detailed net income of $4.3 billion for the second quarter of 2009, or $0.49 per share. These results include an $11.1 billionpre-tax ($6.7 billion after-tax) gain associated with the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney transaction that closed on June 1, 2009 Citigroup revenues ($30 billion) increased by  $12.4 billion from prior year levels primarily as it should be to the Smith Barney gain on sale. Meanwhile, Company revenues of $15 billion mark an 11% decline from the year before attributed to movements in the foreign exchange sector.

 

Citicorp’s regional consumer banking unit saw revenue declines across all regions.  The fall of revenues in the institutional client group’s securities and banking division had a lesser effect as transaction services were comparable to last years figures.   The local consumer lending and special asset pool units reported decreases. Citi Holdings’ brokerage and asset management group posted revenues of $12.3 billion, an increase of $2.5 billion from last year.  The company also reported operating expenses of $12 billion, a decrease of 21% from last years same reporting period.

 

We have made significant progress in recent quarters as evidenced in the significant decline in expenses, headcount, assets, including Citi’s riskiest assets, as well as our 12.7% Tier 1 capital 1 ratio,” CEO Vikram Pandit recently stated.  He went on to say. “We have already announced the sale of a number of businesses within Citi Holdings, and its assets have been reduced by approximately $250 billion since the first quarter of 2008.”
