Citigroup Inc. restated fourth-quarter results after writing down a portion of a loan to Revlon Inc. it now owns after losing a court battle.

The bank said in a regulatory filing on Friday that it now has rights as a creditor to the troubled cosmetics giant after it lost a court battle over a payment mistakenly sent to a band of lenders to Revlon in August. It’s since written down a portion of the loan.
