    Citi's Ability to Return Capital to Common Shareholders Substantially Depends on Regulatory Capital Requirements, Including the Results of the FRB's Stress Testing and CCAR Regimes, and Other Factors.

    Citi's ability to return capital to its common shareholders consistent with its capital planning efforts and targets, whether through its common stock repurchase program or its common stock dividend, substantially depends, among other things, on its regulatory capital requirements. Citi is required to hold regulatory capital buffers, including a Global Systemically Important Bank (GSIB) surcharge and a Stress Capital Buffer (SCB) based upon the results of the annual CCAR process required by the FRB. For additional information on these regulatory capital buffers, see "Capital Resources-Regulatory Capital Buffers" above. Changes in regulatory capital rules, requirements or interpretations can impact Citi's required regulatory capital. U.S. banking regulators have proposed a number of changes to the U.S. regulatory capital framework, including significant revisions to the U.S. Basel III, GSIB and supervisory stress test rules. These changes will affect Citi's regulatory capital requirements and position and the amount of capital Citi will be able to return to shareholders (see "Capital Resources-Regulatory Capital Standards and Developments" above). Citi's ability to return capital also depends on a variety of other factors, including, but not limited to, the following: - its results of operations and financial condition - any impact to capital from its remaining divestitures - its ability to maintain an effective capital planning process and management framework, which takes into account forecasts of expected macroeconomic conditions and their associated impacts to the level of Citi's regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets under both the Standardized Approach and the Advanced Approaches, as well as the Supplementary Leverage ratio (SLR)- deferred tax asset (DTA) utilization (see the ability to utilize DTA risk factor below) All firms subject to CCAR requirements, including Citi, are subject to a rigorous regulatory evaluation of capital planning practices and other reviews and examinations. Citi's ability to return capital may be adversely impacted if a regulatory evaluation or examination were to result in negative findings regarding absolute capital levels or other aspects of Citi's or any of its subsidiaries' operations, including as a result of the imposition of additional capital buffers, limitations on capital distributions or otherwise. For information on limitations on Citi's ability to return capital to common shareholders, as well as the CCAR process, supervisory stress test requirements and GSIB surcharge, see "Capital Resources-Current Regulatory Capital Standards," "-Regulatory Capital Buffers" and "-Stress Testing Component of Capital Planning" above and the risk management and legal and regulatory proceedings risk factors below.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
