At quarter end, Citigroup’s estimated Basel III Tier 1 Common ratio was 10.6%, up from 10.0% in the prior year period, largely driven by earnings and the utilization of deferred tax assets (DTA). Citigroup utilized approximately $1.1 billion of DTA in the second quarter 2014 and $2.2 billion year-to-date 2014. Citigroup’s estimated Basel III Supplementary Leverage ratio for the second quarter 2014 was 5.7%, up from 4.9% in the prior year period.
