Income from continuing operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 was $826 million, $4.31 per diluted share, compared to $521 million, $2.58 per diluted share for the period ended September 30, 2013.

“Our core businesses achieved solid financial performance this quarter as we made further progress in positioning CIT for future success,” said John Thain, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We advanced our bank strategy through our announced acquisition of OneWest Bank, grew our earning assets, completed the acquisition of Direct Capital and made progress exiting our non-strategic portfolios. As we look towards

2015, we will continue to focus on enhancing shareholder value by growing our franchises, expanding CIT Bank, achieving our profitability targets and returning capital to our shareholders.”

 

 

Summary of Third Quarter Financial Results from Continuing Operations

All references in this section relate to continuing operations and therefore do not include any of the assets or results of operations of the discontinued operation.

In addition to the $375 million benefit from the U.S. Federal tax valuation allowance reversal, the tax provision benefited by $30 million related to the acquisition of Direct Capital. Net income also reflected $48 million of after tax impairment charges related to the progress we made exiting our non-strategic portfolios, $9 million of restructuring charges as well as higher credit costs and a negative mark-to-market on our TRS facility.

Total assets from continuing operations¹ at September 30, 2014 were $46.5 billion, up from $44.2 billion at June 30, 2014, and $42.3 billion at September 30, 2013. Financing and leasing assets in North American Commercial Finance and Transportation & International Finance increased to $35.5 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion (4%) from June 30, 2014 and $5.2 billion (17%) from a year ago. The sequential quarter increase was driven by solid origination volumes and the addition of approximately $0.55 billion of financing and leasing assets in Direct Capital. The increase from the year-ago quarter also included the acquisition of Nacco in the first quarter of 2014, which added approximately $0.65 billion of financing and leasing assets. The Non-Strategic Portfolios declined by approximately $0.1 billion to $0.6 billion from June 30, 2014, and by $1.2 billion from a year ago, reflecting portfolio run off and asset sales including the completion of the sale of the Small Business Lending portfolio in June 2014. Total loans of $19.8 billion increased $1.2 billion from June 30, 2014 and by $1.4 billion from a year ago, reflecting new loan originations and Direct Capital loans, partially offset by asset sales. Operating lease equipment increased $0.4 billion from June 30, 2014 and $2.6 billion from a year ago to $15.2 billion, reflecting the Nacco acquisition and other equipment purchases. Cash and securities of $7.7 billion were up $0.4 billion from June 30, 2014 and down $0.7 billion from September 30, 2013.

Net finance revenue² was $365 million, compared to $347 million in the year-ago quarter and $361 million in the prior quarter. Average earning assets were $34.3 billion in the current quarter, up from $30.4 billion in the year-ago quarter and $33.2 billion in the prior quarter. Net finance revenue as a percentage of average earning assets (“net finance margin”) was 4.26%, compared to 4.56% in the year-ago quarter and

4.35% (4.26% excluding the impact of debt redemptions³) in the prior quarter. The reduction from the year-ago quarter primarily reflects portfolio re-pricing, the sale of higher-yielding Dell Europe assets, and declines in net FSA accretion, partially offset by lower funding costs.

Other income of $24 million decreased from $105 million in the year-ago quarter and from $94 million in the prior quarter. The current quarter includes $46 million of aggregate impairment charges on Non-Strategic Portfolio assets as well as a $13 million negative mark-to-market on the TRS derivative, while the prior quarter included a $9 million benefit from the acceleration of counterparty receivable accretion related to the aircraft securitization restructuring and an $11 million positive mark-to-market on the TRS derivative.

Operating expenses were $235 million compared to $229 million in the year-ago quarter and $225 million in the prior quarter. Excluding restructuring costs⁴, operating expenses were $225 million, or 2.63% of average earning assets (AEA), compared to $226 million (2.97%) in the year-ago quarter, and $219 million (2.64%) in the prior quarter. The increase in operating expenses from the prior quarter is primarily due to the addition of Direct Capital and other integration costs, offset by the benefit from the sale of our Small Business Lending portfolio last quarter. The change from the year-ago quarter also reflected higher costs resulting from the acquisition of Nacco in the first quarter of 2014, offset by lower tax-related expenses and benefits from our cost reduction initiatives. Headcount at September 30, 2014 was approximately 3,330, and includes 250 Direct Capital employees, down from 3,380 a year ago and up from 3,170 at June 30, 2014.

The provision for income taxes was a benefit of $401 million in the current quarter reflecting a $375 million reversal of the U.S. Federal valuation allowance, a $30 million benefit related to the acquisition of Direct Capital and net expenses on state and international earnings. Income tax expense was $13 million in the year-ago quarter and $18 million in the prior quarter, primarily reflecting the recognition of income tax expense on international earnings and state tax expense.

 

 

 

Credit and Allowance for Loan Losses

Credit metrics remain at or near cycle lows. Non-accrual loans increased to $201 million, or 1.02% of finance receivables, at September 30, 2014 from $190 million (1.02%) at June 30, 2014 and decreased from $258 million (1.41%) at September 30, 2013. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily in international portfolios partially offset by a decline in the aerospace portfolio.

Net charge-offs were $19 million, or 0.39% of average finance receivables (AFR), versus $27 million (0.59%) in the year-ago quarter and $21 million (0.45%) in the prior quarter. Net charge-offs in Transportation & International Finance of $4 million, 0.44% of AFR, were lower than $5 million (0.63%) in the year-ago

quarter and $13 million (1.48%) in the prior quarter, which included $9 million related to the transfer of receivables to Assets Held For Sale (AHFS). Net charge-offs in North American Commercial Finance increased to $16 million (0.40%), from $11 million (0.30%) a year-ago and $9 million (0.23%) in the prior quarter primarily resulting from charge-offs on receivables transferred to AHFS. Non-Strategic Portfolios had a net recovery of $1 million, compared to a net charge-off of $11 million in the year-ago quarter, which was impacted by the transfer of receivables to AHFS, and flat to the prior quarter. The provision for credit losses was $38 million, up from $16 million in the year-ago quarter and $10 million in the prior quarter. The increases reflect higher non-specific reserves primarily from asset growth and higher reserves on a small number of accounts.

The allowance for loan losses was $358 million (1.81% of finance receivables) at September 30, 2014, compared to $341 million (1.83%) at June 30, 2014 and $356 million (1.94%) at September 30, 2013. Specific reserves were $26 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $22 million at June 30, 2014 and $34 million at September 30, 2013.

 

Capital and Funding

Preliminary Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios at September 30, 2014 were 14.3% and 15.0%, respectively, compared to 16.0% and 16.7% at June 30, 2014 and 16.7% and 17.4% at September 30, 2013, primarily reflecting the increase in risk weighted assets due to higher order book commitments and asset growth and, to a lesser extent, a decline in regulatory capital resulting from goodwill and intangibles recorded for the acquisition of Direct Capital. The partial reversal of the valuation allowance had a minimal impact on the capital ratios. Preliminary risk-weighted assets totaled $56.3 billion at September 30, 2014, up from $51.0 billion at June 30, 2014 and $50.5 billion at September 30, 2013. Book value per share at September 30, 2014 grew to $49.10 from $46.42 at June 30, 2014 and $44.16 at September 30, 2013. Tangible book value per share⁵ at September 30, 2014 increased to $45.87 from $44.16 at June 30, 2014 and $42.36 at September 30, 2013. The increase in book value and tangible book value was primarily due to the partial reversal of the valuation allowance.

Cash and investment securities totaled $7.2 billion at September 30, 2014, and were comprised of $6.2 billion of cash, $0.7 billion of reverse repo securities and $0.3 billion of other short-term investment securities, compared to $6.8 billion at June 30, 2014 and $7.3 billion at September 30, 2013. Cash and short-term investment securities at September 30, 2014 consisted of $2.0 billion related to the bank holding company and $3.2 billion at CIT Bank, with the remainder comprised of cash at operating subsidiaries and restricted balances. CIT had approximately $1.4 billion of unused and committed liquidity under a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility at September 30, 2014.

⁵ Tangible book value and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Measurements” at the end of this press release and page 18 for reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial information.

Deposits grew approximately $0.5 billion during the quarter to $14.5 billion. At September 30, 2014, deposits represented approximately 43% of CIT Group funding, with unsecured and secured borrowings comprising 37% and 20% of the funding mix, respectively, comparable to prior quarter. The weighted average coupon rate on outstanding deposits and long-term borrowings in continuing operations was 3.16% at September 30, 2014, compared to 3.37% at September 30, 2013 and 3.20% at June 30, 2014.

During the third quarter, we repurchased 2.2 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $106 million, bringing the total repurchases for 2014 to over 14.5 million shares at an average price of $45.20, or an aggregate of approximately $658 million. Approximately $450 million of the authorized repurchase capacity remained at September 30, 2014. On October 14, 2014, the Board approved CIT’s quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share, payable on November 26, 2014 to shareholders of record on November 12, 2014.

 

Discontinued Operation

 

On April 25, 2014, we completed the sale of our Student Loan portfolio along with certain secured debt and servicing rights. As a result, the Student Lending business is reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Income from discontinued operation, net of taxes, was a slight loss in the current quarter down from $7 million of income in the year-ago quarter and $52 million of income in the prior quarter, which reflected a gain on the sale of the student loan business.

 

 

Segment Highlights

Transportation & International Finance

Pre-tax earnings for the quarter were $162 million, up from $151 million in the year-ago quarter and from $148 million in the prior quarter, which included a $7 million net benefit in interest expense due to the refinancing of secured debt within the TRS. The increase from the year-ago quarter reflected asset growth that offset lower gains on sale and higher operating expenses, while the increase from the prior quarter primarily reflected asset growth and higher non-spread revenue.

Financing and leasing assets grew to $19.1 billion at September 30, 2014, up from $18.4 billion at June 30, 2014 and from $15.6 billion a year ago. The increase from the prior quarter reflected growth in all transportation divisions, with Aerospace and Maritime accounting for the majority of the growth. The $3.5 billion, or 22%, increase from September 30, 2013 included growth of $1.8 billion in Aerospace, $1.4 billion in Rail, which included the European rail acquisition in the 2014 first quarter, and $0.5 billion in Maritime. Assets Held for Sale remained elevated largely due to the addition of loans from our International Finance division in the prior quarter. New business volume was $1.3 billion and consisted of $0.6 billion of operating lease

equipment, including the delivery of 7 aircraft and approximately 1,500 railcars, and the funding of $0.7 billion of finance receivables.

Net finance revenue was $226 million, up $38 million from the year-ago quarter due primarily to earning asset growth and up $11 million sequentially excluding the prior quarter’s interest expense benefit from the refinancing of secured debt in the TRS. Net finance margin was 4.82% compared to 4.87% in the year-ago quarter and 4.91% (4.75% excluding the impact from debt redemptions) in the prior quarter. The margin was down from the year-ago quarter reflecting lower net rental yields in Aerospace, and was up sequentially, excluding the impact from debt redemptions, reflecting lower funding costs. Gross yields in Aerospace were 11.8%, down sequentially reflecting reduced prepayment benefits in the loan portfolio and lease re-pricings, while gross yields in Rail increased slightly to 14.6% reflecting higher utilization and favorable re-pricings.

Other income was $19 million, down from $31 million in the year-ago quarter and up from $10 million the prior quarter largely reflecting changes in gains on asset sales.

Provision for credit losses was $9 million, up slightly from the year-ago quarter and sequentially reflecting reserve build on new originations as charge-offs were down from both periods.

Operating expenses were $74 million, up from $63 million a year ago and down slightly sequentially. The increase from the year-ago quarter reflects the European rail acquisition and continued investment in growth initiatives.

During the quarter we agreed to purchase 30 new aircraft with delivery dates through 2020: 10 787 Boeing Dreamliners, 15 Airbus A330neos and five Airbus A321ceos. Utilization remained strong with all but two commercial aircraft and 99% of rail equipment on lease or under a commitment at quarter-end. All aircraft scheduled for delivery in the next 12 months and approximately 80% of railcars on order, have lease commitments.

 

North American Commercial Finance

Pre-tax earnings for the quarter were $62 million, down from $84 million in the year-ago quarter and from $93 million in the prior quarter. The decrease from both quarters was largely attributable to higher credit costs.

Financing and leasing assets grew to $16.4 billion, up from $15.7 billion at June 30, 2014 and from $14.7 billion at September 30, 2013, reflecting the addition of approximately $550 million of loans and leases in Direct Capital reported in the Equipment Finance division, as well as solid new business volumes. Funded loan and lease volume totaled $1.6 billion, up from $1.4 billion in the year-ago quarter, and unchanged from the prior quarter. The increase from the year-ago quarter reflected higher volumes in Real Estate Finance and volume from Direct Capital, partially offset by a decrease in Corporate Finance.

Net finance revenue of $146 million increased from the year-ago and prior quarters, reflecting higher earning assets. Net finance margin was 3.91% compared to 4.26% in the year-ago quarter and 4.13% in the prior quarter. The decline in net finance margin from the year-ago quarter primarily reflects lower portfolio yields in Corporate Finance and Equipment Finance. The sequential quarter decline is primarily due to benefits of higher prepayments in the prior quarter. Other income was $71 million, essentially unchanged from comparable periods. The sequential quarter comparison reflected increased factoring commissions and capital markets fees that were partially offset by the decline in counterparty receivable accretion. Operating expenses were $126 million, up from $120 million in each of the year-ago and prior quarters due to the addition of Direct Capital.

Credit metrics remained at or near cycle lows. Non-accrual loans of $134 million (0.83% of finance receivables) were relatively unchanged from June 30, 2014, and improved from $167 million (1.16%) a year ago. The current quarter provision for credit losses included a reserve build due to asset growth and higher reserves on certain accounts. Net charge-offs were $16 million (0.40% of average finance receivables), compared to $11 million (0.30%) in the year-ago quarter and $9 million (0.23%) in the prior quarter.  Net charge-offs included $11 million in the current quarter, and $3 million in the prior quarter related to transfers of asset to held-for-sale.

 

Non-Strategic Portfolios

Pre-tax losses for the quarter were $56 million, compared to $11 million in the year-ago quarter and $10 million in the prior quarter. The current quarter was impacted by impairments of $46 million on held-for-sale portfolios and also reflected lower operating expenses offset by reduced net finance revenue from the decline in asset levels when compared to both the prior year and the sequential quarter.

Financing and leasing assets declined to $0.6 billion at September 30, 2014, down from $0.7 billion at June 30, 2014, primarily on asset run-off, and from $1.7 billion at September 30, 2013, reflecting international portfolio sales, the sale of the Small Business Lending portfolio in the prior quarter and portfolio runoff.

We continue to make progress exiting our international non-strategic platforms and are in advance stages of the sale processes for the remaining Non-Strategic Portfolio assets.

 

Corporate and Other

Certain items are not allocated to operating segments and are included in Corporate and Other, including interest expense, primarily related to corporate liquidity costs, mark-to-market on certain derivatives, restructuring charges, certain legal costs and other operating expenses. Operating expenses included restructuring charges of $9 million in the current quarter, compared to approximately $3 million in the year-ago quarter and $6 million in the prior quarter.

 

CIT Bank

Total assets were $20.3 billion at September 30, 2014, up from $18.3 billion at June 30, 2014, reflecting new business volumes and the Direct Capital acquisition, and $14.7 billion at September 30, 2013. CIT Bank funded $2.2 billion of new business volume, up 34% from the year-ago quarter and 8% sequentially. Loans totaled $14.7 billion, up from $13.4 billion at June 30, 2014 and $10.9 billion at September 30, 2013. Operating lease equipment of $2.0 billion, primarily railcars and some aircraft, increased from $1.8 billion at June 30, 2014 and $1.1 billion at September 30, 2013. Cash totaled $3.2 billion at September 30, 2014, up from $2.8 billion at June 30, 2014, and from $2.5 billion at September 30, 2013. Preliminary Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios were 13.0% and 14.2%, respectively, at September 30, 2014 compared to 15.2% and 16.5% at June 30, 2014 and 18.5% and 19.8% at September 30, 2013 reflecting increases in risk weighted assets and a decline in regulatory capital resulting from goodwill and other intangibles recorded from the acquisition of Direct Capital.

Deposits at quarter-end were $14.4 billion, up from $13.9 billion at June 30, 2014 and $11.8 billion at September 30, 2013. The weighted average rate on outstanding deposits was 1.57% at September 30, 2014.
