CitiMortgage's quarterly volume climbed, while annual production slipped.

Fourth quarter prime home finance originations of $25.0 billion rose from the third quarter's $22.9 billion, according to the latest financial supplement by parent company Citigroup.

Full-year 2004 production of $99.1 billion took a downturn from $104.6 in the previous year, the report said.

Citigroup said the third party mortgage servicing portfolio of $291.3 billion at the fourth quarter's end jumped 84% from a year earlier.

The parent company announced net income of $17.0 billion was down 5% from 2003.
