Exhibit 99.1

NET INCOME OF $4.7 BILLION ($1.87 PER SHARE)

REVENUES OF $18.6 BILLION

RETURNED $5.1 BILLION OF CAPITAL TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS

REPURCHASED 66 MILLION COMMON SHARES

BOOK VALUE PER SHARE OF $77.09
TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE PER SHARE OF $65.555

New York, April 15, 2019 — Citigroup Inc. today reported net income for the first quarter 2019 of $4.7 billion, or $1.87 per diluted share, on revenues of $18.6 billion. This compared to net income of $4.6 billion, or $1.68 per diluted share, on revenues of $18.9 billion for the first quarter 2018.

Revenues decreased 2% from the prior-year period, including the impact of a $150 million gain on the sale of the Hilton portfolio in North America Global Consumer Banking (GCB) in the prior-year period. Excluding this gain6, revenues decreased 1% from the prior-year period largely driven by lower revenues in Equity Markets as well as mark-to-market losses on loan hedges7, both in the Institutional Clients Group (ICG), and the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate / Other. Net income increased 2% from the prior-year period, driven by a reduction in expenses and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by the lower revenues and higher cost of credit. Earnings per share increased 11%, primarily driven by a 9% reduction in average diluted shares outstanding as well as the growth in net income.

Percentage comparisons throughout this press release are calculated for the first quarter 2019 versus the first quarter 2018, unless otherwise specified.

CEO COMMENTARY

Citi CEO Michael Corbat said, “Our earnings reflect the progress we are making to improve our return on and return of capital.  Both our consumer and institutional businesses performed well and we saw good momentum in those areas where we have been investing, such as U.S. Branded Cards, Treasury and Trade Solutions, and Investment Banking.  Importantly, our strategy in North America consumer banking is showing good early results as we introduce new products and engage with a broader range of customers, through digital channels.

“We increased our Return on Tangible Common Equity to 11.9%, had positive operating leverage for the tenth consecutive quarter and had strong growth in both loans and deposits in our core businesses. We returned over $5 billion to our shareholders during the quarter,  contributing to the 11% increase in our earnings per share from a year ago.  We further reduced our common shares outstanding, down 9% from a year ago, while maintaining our Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio at 11.9%.  We remain committed to executing our strategy and continuing to make steady progress towards our financial targets,” Mr. Corbat concluded.

Citigroup

Citigroup revenues of $18.6 billion in the first quarter 2019 decreased 2%, reflecting the lower revenues in Equity Markets as well as mark-to-market losses on loan hedges in ICG and the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate / Other.

Citigroup operating expenses of $10.6 billion in the first quarter 2019 decreased 3%, driven by efficiency savings and the wind-down of legacy assets, partially offset by investments.

Citigroup cost of credit in the first quarter 2019 was $2.0 billion, a 7% increase, driven by a lower loan loss reserve release in ICG as well as growth and seasoning in Citi-Branded Cards and Citi Retail Services in North America GCB.

2

Citigroup net income of $4.7 billion in the first quarter 2019 increased 2%, driven by the lower expenses as well as the lower effective tax rate, partially offset by the decrease in revenues and the higher cost of credit. Citigroup’s effective tax rate was 21% in the current quarter compared to 24% in the first quarter 2018.

Citigroup’s allowance for loan losses was $12.3 billion at quarter end, or 1.82% of total loans, compared to $12.4 billion, or 1.85% of total loans, at the end of the prior-year period. Total non-accrual assets declined 13% from the prior-year period to $3.8 billion. Consumer non-accrual loans declined 14% to $2.2 billion and corporate non-accrual loans declined 11% to $1.5 billion.

Citigroup’s end-of-period loans were $682 billion as of quarter end, up 1% from the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange translation9, Citigroup’s end-of-period loans grew 3%, as 5% aggregate growth in ICG and GCB was partially offset by the continued wind-down of legacy assets in Corporate / Other.

Citigroup’s end-of-period deposits were $1.0 trillion as of quarter end, an increase of 3% from the prior-year period. In constant dollars, Citigroup’s end-of-period deposits grew 5%, driven by 8% growth in ICG as well as 2% growth in GCB.

Citigroup’s book value per share of $77.09 and tangible book value per share of $65.55, both as of quarter end, increased 8% and 7%, respectively, from the prior year driven by the benefit of a lower share count. At quarter end, Citigroup’s CET1 Capital ratio was 11.9%, unchanged from the prior quarter as net income was offset by common share repurchases and dividends. Citigroup’s SLR for the first quarter 2019 was 6.4%, unchanged from the prior quarter. During the first quarter 2019, Citigroup repurchased 66 million common shares and returned a total of $5.1 billion to common shareholders in the form of common share repurchases and dividends.
