Forward-Looking
Statements
This

expectations and assumptions concerning future events, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“forecast,” “initiative,” “objective,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,”
“outlook,” “priorities,” “target,” “intend,” “evaluate,” “pursue,”
“commence,” “seek,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,”

fact, including without limitation, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and expectations regarding future events
and our financial performance, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. While these statements
represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, these statements are
not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially. Important factors that could cause
our actual results to be materially different from our expectations include, among others, the risk that CIT is unsuccessful in
implementing its strategy and business plan, the risk that CIT is unable to react to and address key business and regulatory issues,
the risk that CIT is unable to achieve the projected revenue growth from its new business initiatives or the projected expense
reductions from efficiency improvements, and the risk that CIT becomes subject to liquidity constraints and higher funding costs.
We describe these and other risks that could affect our results in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our latest Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, you
should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K. These forward-looking statements

Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CIT REPORTS FIRST QUARTER
2015 NET INCOME OF $104 MILLION
($0.59 PER DILUTED SHARE)
| § | Pre-tax
Income of $148 million – Pre-tax income rose 20% from the year-ago quarter while net income declined 12% due to a higher
effective tax rate; |
| § | Increase
in Effective Tax Rate – Due to the prior year partial valuation allowance reversals, earnings reflect a $44 million
tax provision while cash taxes were significantly lower at $14 million; |
| § | Board
Authorized Additional $200 Million Share Repurchase in April – Completed existing share repurchase authorization and
returned nearly $360 million of capital to shareholders through dividends and the repurchase of 7.3 million shares during the
first quarter; |
| § | Improved
Funding Profile – Grew deposits to 50% of total funding, reducing weighted average cost of funds by eight basis points. |
NEW
YORK – April 28, 2015 – CIT
Group Inc. (NYSE: CIT), today reported net income of $104 million, $0.59 per diluted share,
for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to net income of $117 million, $0.59 per diluted share, for the first quarter of
2014. First quarter results were impacted by a higher tax provision resulting from the recognition of federal income tax expense
due to the prior year partial reversal of the valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset.
“During the quarter
we completed our existing share repurchase program and returned nearly $360 million of capital to shareholders. Our results reflected
lower profitability in our North American Commercial Finance business as well as lower utilization rates in our transportation
business,” said John Thain, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Looking
ahead, we will continue to execute on our 2015 priorities while positioning CIT for the long-term. We remain focused on expanding
our commercial banking and deposit franchises through the acquisition of OneWest Bank, returning excess capital to our shareholders
through our additional $200 million share repurchase, and meeting the financing needs of our small business, middle market and
transportation customers.”

Summary of First 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.
Net income from continuing
operations of $104 million includes a $44 million tax provision. Net income also reflects the absence of interest recoveries and
lower utilization rates. In addition, net income includes $6 million of charges related to portfolios that we are exiting.
Total
assets from continuing operations1 at March 31, 2015 were $46.4 billion, compared to $47.9 billion at December 31,
2014, and $44.9 billion at March 31, 2014. Financing and leasing assets in North American Commercial Finance (NACF) and Transportation
& International Finance (TIF) were $35.0 billion, down slightly from December 31, 2014 reflecting asset sales and up $2.3
billion (7%) from a year ago reflecting strong origination volumes in 2014 and the acquisition of Direct Capital. The Non-Strategic
Portfolios declined slightly from December 31, 2014 to $0.3 billion, and by $0.8 billion from a year ago, reflecting portfolio
run off and asset sales. Total loans of $19.4 billion decreased $0.1 billion from December 31, 2014 but increased by $0.9 billion
from a year ago. Operating lease equipment of $14.9 billion was relatively unchanged from December 31, 2014 and increased $0.7
billion from a year ago. Cash and securities of $8.1 billion were down $1.2 billion from December 31, 2014 and $0.8 billion from
March 31, 2014.
Net
finance revenue2 was $337 million, improved from $322 million in the year-ago quarter but down from $373 million in
the prior quarter. Average earning assets were $33.8 billion in the current quarter, up from $32.1 billion in the year-ago
quarter and down from $34.3 billion in the prior quarter. Net finance revenue as a percentage of average earning assets (“net
finance margin”) was 4.00%, compared to 4.01% in the year-ago quarter and 4.34% in the prior quarter. The fourth quarter
of 2014 reflected stronger equipment utilization, a higher level of interest recoveries and the benefits from suspended depreciation
on operating lease equipment held for sale.
Other income of $86
million increased from $71 million in the year-ago quarter and decreased from $116 million in the prior quarter. The current quarter
benefited from the sale of aircraft and a benefit on the termination of a defaulted contract, which were partially offset by a
currency translation adjustment (“CTA”) charge in the UK and additional impairment charges on the Non-Strategic Portfolios.
The prior quarter included elevated benefits from the sale of portfolio assets and investment securities, which were partially
offset by impairments on assets held for sale on portfolios we are exiting and a mark-to-market charge on the TRS derivative.
1 Total assets from continuing
operations is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Measurements” at the end of this press release and page 18 for reconciliation
of non-GAAP to GAAP financial information.
2 Net finance revenue, finance
margin and net operating lease revenue 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.

Operating
expenses were $242 million compared to $234 million in the year-ago quarter and $249 million in the prior quarter. Adjusting for
restructuring costs3, operating expenses were $243 million, or 2.87% of average earning assets (AEA), compared to $224
million (2.79%) in the year-ago quarter and $242 million (2.82%) in the prior quarter. The increase from the year-ago quarter
reflects higher compensation costs, primarily related to the addition of Direct Capital in August of 2014, as well as costs related
to the pending acquisition of OneWest. Headcount at March 31, 2015 was approximately 3,360, unchanged from year end and up from
3,200 a year ago, driven by the Direct Capital acquisition.
The provision for income
taxes was $44 million compared to cash taxes of $14 million. As a result of the partial valuation allowance reversal in 2014 on
our Federal Net Deferred Tax Asset, the tax provision for 2015 will reflect a 35% statutory Federal tax rate on our U.S. income.
Our global effective tax rate is approximately 30% in the current quarter, up from 11% in the year-ago quarter. Our cash tax rate
remains relatively low at 9%. Income tax expense in the year-ago quarter was $13 million compared to a benefit of $28 million in
the prior quarter, the latter of which was driven by the reversal of a $44 million valuation allowance on certain International
deferred tax assets.
Credit and Allowance for Loan Losses
Credit metrics remain
at or near cycle lows. Non-accrual loans were $179 million, or 0.92% of finance receivables, at March 31, 2015 compared to $161
million (0.82%) at December 31, 2014 and $218 million (1.18%) at March 31, 2014. The increase over the prior quarter is primarily
due to one energy-related account in NACF while the improvement from the year-ago quarter reflects reductions in both NACF and
Non-Strategic Portfolios.
The provision for credit
losses was $35 million, compared to $37 million in the year-ago quarter and $15 million in the prior quarter, which included a
$12 million reversal of a specific reserve. The increase over the prior quarter is due to higher reserves related to a small number
of accounts in TIF and NACF as well as changes in portfolio composition. Net charge-offs were $21 million, or 0.43% of average
finance receivables (AFR), versus $36 million (0.76%) in the year-ago quarter and $23 million (0.47%) in the prior quarter.
The allowance for loan
losses was $357 million (1.83% of finance receivables) at March 31, 2015, compared to $346 million (1.78%) at December 31, 2014
and $353 million (1.90%) at March 31, 2014. Specific reserves were $15 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $12 million at December
31, 2014 and $26 million at March 31, 2014.
3 Operating expenses excluding
restructuring costs or benefit is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Measurements” at the end of this press release
and page 18 for reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial information.

Capital and Funding
In
July 2013, federal banking regulators published the final Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations (“the
Regulatory Capital Rules”). While the Regulatory Capital Rules became effective January 1, 2014, the mandatory compliance
date for CIT as a “standardized approach” banking organization began on January 1, 2015, subject to transitional provisions
extending to January 1, 2019. Our estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios at March 31, 2015 were 14.1% and 14.8%4,
as calculated under the fully phased-in Regulatory Capital Rules. The changes to our capital ratios under the previously effective
regulatory capital rules are minimal, and compare to the previously reported Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios of 14.5% and 15.2%
at December 31, 2014 and 16.1% and 16.8% at March 31, 2014. The change from prior quarter reflects the share repurchases while
the change from the year-ago quarter also reflects an 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 with the Direct Capital acquisition. Preliminary fully phased-in risk-weighted assets totaled
$56.3 billion at March 31, 2015, up from $55.5 billion in the prior quarter and from $51.8 billion at March 31, 2014.
Book
value per share at March 31, 2015 grew to $50.26 from $50.13 at December 31, 2014 and $45.10 at March 31, 2014. Tangible book
value per share5 at March 31, 2015 increased to $46.89 from $46.83 at December 31, 2014 and $42.94 at March 31, 2014.
The increases in book value and tangible book value per share primarily reflected our net income, including the partial reversals
of the valuation allowance in the second half of 2014.
Cash and investment
securities totaled $7.7 billion at March 31, 2015, and were comprised of $6.3 billion of cash, $0.5 billion of reverse repurchase
securities, $0.5 billion of short-term investments and $0.4 billion of debt securities held for sale, compared to $8.9 billion
at December 31, 2014 and $8.5 billion at March 31, 2014. The sequential decline reflected the $1.2 billion repayment of the 4.75%
unsecured notes that matured in February 2015. Cash and investment securities at March 31, 2015 consisted of $2.4 billion related
to the bank holding company and $3.7 billion at CIT Bank (excluding $0.1 billion of restricted cash), with the remainder comprised
of cash at operating subsidiaries and other restricted balances of approximately $0.8 billion each. CIT had approximately $1.4
billion of unused and committed liquidity under a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility at March 31, 2015.
Deposits grew to $16.8
billion from $15.8 billion at December 31, 2014, and $13.2 billion at March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2015,
deposits represented approximately 50% of CIT Group funding, with unsecured and secured borrowings comprising 32% and 18% of the
funding mix, respectively, reflecting the ongoing shift from unsecured borrowings to deposit funding. The weighted average coupon
rate on outstanding deposits
4 Preliminary ratios are
based on a preliminary fully phased-in Basel III estimate
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.

and long-term
borrowings in continuing operations improved to 3.04% at March 31, 2015, compared to 3.11% at December 31, 2014 and 3.33% at March
31, 2014.
During the quarter,
we returned nearly $360 million in capital to our shareholders including $27 million in dividends and $332 million from repurchases
of 7.3 million common shares at an average price of $45.43, which represented the remaining amount under the previously authorized
repurchase plan.
During April 2015, the
Board approved a $0.15 cash dividend payable on May 28, 2015 and authorized an additional share repurchase of up to $200 million
in 2015.
Discontinued Operation
There was no activity from
discontinued operations in the current quarter compared to $1 million loss in the prior quarter and $2 million in income in the
year-ago quarter. The discontinued operation reflected our Student Lending business that was sold in the second quarter of 2014.
Segment Highlights
Transportation & International Finance
Pre-tax earnings for
the quarter were $157 million, up from $118 million in the year-ago quarter and down from $185 million in the prior quarter. The
increase from the year-ago quarter primarily reflected higher gains on asset sales and asset growth, while the decrease from the
prior quarter largely reflected lower finance revenue due to asset sales and lower equipment utilization.
Financing and leasing
assets at March 31, 2015 were $18.8 billion compared to $19.0 billion at year-end and $17.6 billion at March 31, 2014. The increase
from the prior year reflected growth in all transportation divisions including $0.9 billion in Aerospace, $0.5 billion in Rail,
and $0.6 billion in Maritime, partially offset by a reduction in International Finance, largely reflecting the sale of our UK corporate
lending portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2014. The sequential decline was driven by $0.4 billion of asset sales, including approximately
$0.2 billion of aircraft to TC-CIT Aviation, our recently formed joint venture with Century Tokyo Leasing. Assets Held for Sale
totaled $0.6 billion and largely consists of the U.K. equipment finance portfolio and commercial aircraft. New business volume
for the quarter was $0.5 billion and consisted of $0.3 billion of operating lease equipment, including the delivery of 3 new aircraft
and approximately 800 new railcars, and the funding of $0.2 billion of finance receivables. Additionally, our European rail business
acquired a portfolio of nearly 1,000 railcars in the first quarter.
Net finance revenue
was $215 million, up from $202 million from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to growth in earning assets, and down from $233
million in the prior quarter due to asset sales and lower equipment utilization. Net finance margin was 4.57% compared to 4.73%
in the year-ago quarter and 4.88%
6
in the prior quarter.
The decreases from prior periods were driven primarily by lower net rental yields in Aerospace. Gross yields in Aerospace decreased
from 11.5% in the prior period to 11.4%, reflecting lower equipment utilization, while gross yields in Rail remain strong but declined
from an elevated level in the prior quarter of 15.3% to 14.8%.
Other income was $34
million, up from $7 million in the year-ago quarter largely reflecting higher gains on asset sales and flat sequentially.
Non-accrual loans of
$39 million (1.10% of finance receivables) increased slightly from $37 million (1.05%) at December 31, 2014, and from $36 million
(1.01%) a year ago. Provision for credit losses was $11 million, compared to $12 million in the year-ago quarter and $9 million
sequentially, with the current quarter provision largely reflecting reserve build in Business Air and China as charge-offs were
minimal. Net charge-offs were $2 million (0.17% of average finance receivables), compared to $13 million (1.47%) in the year-ago
quarter and $8 million (0.84%) in the prior quarter. Net charge-offs include $3 million in the year ago quarter and $6 million
in the prior quarter due to assets moved to held for sale.
Operating expenses were
$82 million, up from $80 million a year ago and $73 million sequentially reflecting seasonally higher employee expenses.
Utilization declined
from peak levels with 98% of rail equipment and 97% of aircraft leased or under a commitment at quarter-end. During the quarter
we ordered five new aircraft delivering in 2016 and 2,200 rail cars delivering in 2016 and 2017. All but 1 new aircraft scheduled
for delivery in the next 12 months and approximately 65% of total railcars on order, have lease commitments.
North American Commercial Finance
Pre-tax earnings were
$36 million, down from $43 million in the year-ago quarter and from $122 million in the prior quarter. The decrease from the year-ago
quarter reflects portfolio repricing across businesses partially offset by the addition of Direct Capital, while the decrease from
the prior quarter reflects lower gains on asset sales of approximately $40 million as well as a reduced level of interest recoveries.
The prior quarter also benefited from a reversal in specific reserves of which $12 million related to a resolution of a problem
loan.
Financing and leasing
assets were $16.2 billion, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2014, and up 7% from $15.2 billion at March 31, 2014. The increase
from the year-ago quarter reflected solid new business volumes in 2014 and the acquisition of Direct Capital in the third quarter
of 2014. New lending and leasing volume was $1.4 billion, in line with the year-ago quarter and down from $1.6 billion in the prior
quarter, and factored volume rose 4% from year-ago levels. Strong volume in Equipment Finance was offset by lower originations
in Corporate Finance, in line with trends in middle-market lending.
Net finance revenue
of $128 million increased from $125 million in the year-ago quarter reflecting higher average earning assets, and decreased from
$145 million in the prior quarter due to a lower levels of interest recoveries in Corporate Finance. Net finance margin was 3.52%
compared to 3.64% in the year-ago
7
quarter and
3.94% in the prior quarter. The reduction from the prior periods reflects lower levels of interest recoveries while the decrease
from a year ago also reflects portfolio repricing. Other income of $66 million was up from $62 million in the year-ago quarter,
reflecting higher capital markets fees, and down from $115 million in the prior quarter which included several gains on asset sales.
Operating expenses were $135 million, up from $122 million in the year-ago quarter, largely due to the acquisition of Direct Capital
in the third quarter, and up $3 million from the prior quarter.
The $24 million provision
for credit losses is up from $23 million in the year-ago period and $6 million in the prior quarter. The increase from the prior
quarter is due mainly to the reversal in specific reserves of which $12 million related to a resolution of a problem loan in the
prior quarter. Credit metrics remained at or near cycle lows. Non-accrual loans of $116 million (0.73% of finance receivables)
rose from $101 million (0.63%) at December 31, 2014, but were improved from $131 million (0.88%) a year ago. The sequential
quarter increase was primarily attributable to one energy related account. Net charge-offs were $19 million (0.49% of average finance
receivables), compared to $16 million (0.43%) in the year-ago quarter and $15 million (0.38%) in the prior quarter. Net charge-offs
include $11 million from assets moved to held for sale in the current quarter compared to $4 million in the year ago quarter and
$1 million in the prior quarter.
Non-Strategic Portfolios
Pre-tax losses for the
quarter were $13 million, compared to $8 million in the year-ago quarter and $28 million in the prior quarter, which included higher
impairment charges on held-for-sale portfolios. The higher losses from the year-ago quarter reflects the decline in asset levels
and lower non spread revenue primarily due to impairment charges in the current quarter.
Financing and leasing
assets declined to $0.3 billion at March 31, 2015, down from $0.4 billion at December 31, 2014 and from $1.1 billion a year-ago,
which reflects sales of international portfolios and the Small Business Lending portfolio, as well as portfolio runoff.
In the fourth quarter
of 2014 we signed separate definitive agreements to sell equipment leasing platforms in Mexico (approximately $0.2 billion in assets
at March 31, 2015), and Brazil (approximately $0.1 billion in assets at March 31, 2015). Both are expected to close in 2015 and
are subject to regulatory approval in their respective countries.
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 a $1 million reversal of restructuring provisions in the current quarter, compared to charges of approximately
$10 million in the year-ago quarter and $7 million in the prior quarter.

CIT Bank
Total
assets were $21.5 billion at March 31, 2015, up from $21.1 billion at December 31,
2014, reflecting new business volumes, and $16.8 billion at March 31,
2014, also reflecting the Direct Capital acquisition in the 2014 third quarter. CIT Bank funded $1.5 billion of new business volume
in the current quarter. Loans totaled $15.1 billion, up from $15.0 billion at December 31,
2014 and $12.6 billion at March 31, 2014. Operating lease equipment was $2.0 billion, primarily
railcars and some aircraft, consistent with the prior quarter and up from $1.5 billion at March 31,
2014. Cash and investment securities totaled $3.8 billion at March 31, 2015 and comprised
of $3.4 billion of cash and $0.4 billion of investment securities, up from $3.7 billion at December 31,
2014, and from $2.4 billion at March 31, 2014.
Preliminary
estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios were 12.9% and 14.1%, respectively, as calculated under the fully phased-in
Regulatory Capital Rules. The change to CIT Bank’s capital ratios under the previously effective regulatory capital rules
are minimal and, compares to Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios of 13.0% and 14.2% at December 31,
2014, reflecting increased risk weighted assets, and 16.1% and 17.4% at March 31, 2014,
also reflecting a decline in regulatory capital resulting from goodwill and other intangibles recorded from the acquisition of
Direct Capital.
Deposits
at quarter-end were $16.8 billion, up from $15.9 billion at December 31, 2014 and $13.1
billion at March 31, 2014. The weighted average rate on outstanding deposits was 1.66%,
compared to 1.63% at December 31, 2014 and 1.58% at March 31, 2014.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of applicable federal securities laws that are based upon our current expectations and assumptions
concerning future events, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated. The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,”
“initiative,” “objective,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “outlook,”
“priorities,” “target,” “intend,” “evaluate,” “pursue,” “commence,”
“seek,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “potential,”
“continue,” or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements.
All statements contained in this press release, other than statements of historical fact, including without limitation, statements
about our plans, strategies, prospects and expectations regarding future events and our financial performance, are forward-looking
statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future
may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results,
and our actual results may differ materially. Important factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different
from our expectations include, among others, the risk that CIT is unsuccessful in implementing its strategy and business plan,
the risk that CIT is unable to react to and address key business and regulatory issues, the risk that CIT is unable to achieve
the projected revenue growth from its new business initiatives or the projected expense reductions from efficiency improvements,
and the risk that CIT becomes subject to liquidity constraints and higher funding costs. We describe these and other risks
that could affect our results in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance
on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on
which the statements were made. CIT undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements,
except where expressly required by law.
Non-GAAP Measurements
Net finance revenue, net operating lease revenue,
adjusted net finance revenue and average earning assets are non-GAAP measurements used by management to gauge portfolio performance.
Operating expenses excluding restructuring costs is a non-GAAP measurement used by management to compare period over period expenses.
Total assets from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measurement used by management to analyze the total asset change on a more
consistent basis. Tangible book value and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP metrics used to analyze banks.
