CI reported income before income tax expense of € 1.3 billion in 2007 compared to € 361 million in 2006.
Net revenues were € 1.5 billion in 2007, an increase of € 943 million compared to the previous year. Net revenues in 2007 included net gains of € 626 million from selling some of our industrial holdings (mainly related to Allianz SE, Linde AG and Fiat S.p.A.), a gain of € 178 million from our
equity method investment in Deutsche Interhotel Holding GmbH & Co. KG (which also triggered an impairment review of CI’s
goodwill resulting in an impairment charge of € 54 million), dividend income in the amount of € 141 million and
mark-to-market gains from our
option to increase our share in Hua Xia Bank Co. Ltd. In addition, the net revenues included a gain of € 313 million related to the sale and leaseback transaction of our premises at 60 Wall Street.
Net revenues in 2006 included a gain of € 131 million from the sale of our remaining holding in EUROHYPO AG, € 92 million related to the partial sale of our stake in Linde AG and dividend income of € 122 million.
Total noninterest expenses increased in 2007 to € 220 million from € 214 million in 2006. The increase was the result of higher goodwill impairment charges in 2007, offset by reductions in other expense categories.
At year end 2007, the
alternative assets
portfolio of CI had a carrying value of € 631 million, of which 51% was real estate investments, 43% was
private equity direct investments and 6% was private equity indirect and other investments. This compares to a value at year end 2006 of € 895 million.
