CIT Group Inc. (NYSE:CIT), cit.com, today reported net income of $133 million, $0.65 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to net income of $693 million, $3.61 per diluted share for the year-ago quarter, which included $647 million, $3.37 per diluted share, of income tax benefits associated with the reversal of the valuation allowance related to the U.S. federal deferred tax asset (“Valuation Allowance”). Income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $148 million, $0.73 per diluted share compared to $697 million, $3.63 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter, which included $647 million, $3.37 per diluted share, of income tax benefits associated with the reversal of the Valuation Allowance.

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was $294 million, $1.45 per diluted share, compared to $912 million, $5.03 per diluted share, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, which included $647 million, $3.57 per diluted share, of income tax benefits associated with the previously mentioned reversal of the Valuation Allowance. Income from continuing operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was $481 million, $2.38 per diluted share, compared to $916 million, $5.05 per diluted share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, which included $647 million, $3.57 per diluted share, of income tax benefits associated with the previously mentioned reversal of the Valuation Allowance.

“I am pleased with the solid financial results we achieved this quarter in what continues to be a highly-competitive operating environment,” said Ellen Alemany, Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to focus on the execution of our strategic initiatives as demonstrated by the agreement to sell our Commercial Air business and the closing of the sale of our Canadian Equipment and Corporate Finance Businesses. Our recent actions will simplify our business, improve our overall financial profile and allow us to return significant 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 operations related to Financial Freedom.

On August 3, 2015, CIT acquired IMB HoldCo LLC, the parent company of OneWest Bank, which impacts the comparability of current results to prior periods. The three-month and nine-month results for 2016 include full period results of OneWest Bank’s operations while the three-month and nine-month results for 2015 include only the results of OneWest Bank’s operations for a partial period in the third quarter of 2015.

(2)Ratios based on the fully phased-in basis.  

Income from continuing operations of $148 million included net after-tax charges of $28 million from discrete items related to our strategic initiatives. Discrete items included charges related to an impairment on the business aircraft assets in held for sale, a tax provision to establish a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset related to our operations in China, and a restructuring charge resulting from operating expense reduction initiatives. In addition to these items, income this quarter included a mark-to-market charge on the total return swap (“TRS”) partially offset by gains related to our mortgage-backed securities portfolio.

Tangible book value per share2 increased to $49.02. Preliminary Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios at September 30, 2016 increased to 13.7% and 14.4%, respectively, as calculated under the fully phased-in Regulatory Capital Rules. Average earning assets3 for the September 30, 2016 quarter decreased slightly to $59.0 billion, reflecting a reduction in Commercial Banking and run-off in the liquidating portfolios. The ROTCE4 of 7.45% decreased from the prior quarter, reflecting both the decline in earnings from continuing operations and the increase in adjusted tangible common equity. ROTCE in the year-ago quarter of 2.56% reflects transaction costs related to the OneWest Bank acquisition and other discrete items that negatively impacted earnings, as well as the reversal of the Valuation Allowance, which benefited income but is excluded from the calculation.

 

Income Statement Highlights:

  Net Finance Revenue*                   Change from: ($ in millions) 3Q16 2Q16 3Q15 Prior Quarter     Prior Year   Interest income $ 490 $ 495 $ 438 $ (5 ) $ 52 Rental income on operating leases   564     569     539     (6 )   24   Finance revenue 1,054 1,065 977 (11 ) 77 Interest expense (279 ) (283 ) (280 ) 3 1 Depreciation on operating lease equipment (179 ) (176 ) (159 ) (3 ) (20 ) Maintenance and other operating lease expenses   (60 )   (65 )   (56 )   5     (5 ) Net finance revenue $ 535   $ 541   $ 482   $ (6 ) $ 53     Average earning assets $ 59,005 $ 59,229 $ 52,448 $ (224 ) $ 6,557 Net finance margin 3.63 % 3.65 % 3.67 % -0.03 % -0.05 % * Certain balances may not sum due to rounding.  

Net finance revenue5 was $535 million in the current quarter, compared to $541 million in the prior quarter and $482 million in the year-ago quarter. Net finance revenue as a percentage of average earning assets (“net finance margin”) was down slightly from the prior quarter and from the year-ago quarter. The decreases in net finance revenue and net finance margin from the prior quarter were driven by Commercial Banking, which was down slightly due to a prior quarter interest recovery, and by Rail, which had lower rental revenue.

Average earning assets decreased slightly compared to the prior quarter reflecting prepayments and asset sales in Commercial Finance and run-off in the liquidating portfolios, partially offset by seasonal growth in factored receivables in Business Capital as well as growth in Rail and in Other Consumer Banking.

The increases in net finance revenue and average earning assets from the year-ago quarter reflect the benefits of a full quarter from the OneWest Bank acquisition.

                  Other Income* Change from: ($ in millions) 3Q16 2Q16 3Q15 Prior Quarter     Prior Year   Fee revenues $ 32 $ 28 $ 30 $ 4 $ 2 Factoring commissions 29 24 31 5 (2 ) Gains on sales of leasing equipment 22 28 31 (6 ) (8 ) Gains on investments 10 6 2 4 8 Gain (loss) on OREO sales 4 4 (3 ) 0 7 Gains (losses) on loan and portfolio sales 3 8 (15 ) (4 ) 18 Net (losses) gains on derivatives and foreign currency exchange (16 ) 10 (20 ) (26 ) 4 Impairment on assets held for sale (22 ) (17 ) (24 ) (5 ) 2 Other revenues   12     13       8     (2 )   4   Total other income $ 74   $ 104     $ 39   $ (30 ) $ 35   * Certain balances may not sum due to rounding.  

Other income includes fee revenues, factoring commissions and gains, losses or valuation adjustments. Total other income in the third quarter of 2016 was $74 million. While both fee revenues and factoring commissions increased from the prior quarter, total other income declined from $104 million in the prior quarter due to a decline in net gains on various assets and a decline in other revenues. Other Income was $39 million in the year-ago quarter.

Other income in the third quarter of 2016 included $10 million in gains from the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, offset by an $18 million impairment charge related to Business Air and a $20 million mark-to-market charge on the TRS. Other Income in the prior quarter included gains on asset sales, primarily in Rail, mostly offset by impairment charges on certain rail assets when transferred to held for sale, and a $4 million impairment on the business aircraft assets also transferred to assets held for sale. The prior quarter also included a $9 million mark-to-market benefit on the TRS and $5 million in gains on the mortgage-backed securities. Other Income in the year-ago quarter included a $24 million charge on the TRS, a $19 million charge related to a currency translation adjustment and a $15 million impairment related to our non-strategic portfolios.

                  Operating Expenses* Change from: ($ in millions) 3Q16 2Q16 3Q15 Prior Quarter     Prior Year   Compensation and benefits $ (158 ) $ (156 ) $ (160 ) $ (2 ) $ 3 Professional fees (47 ) (40 ) (57 ) (8 ) 10 Technology (33 ) (31 ) (30 ) (1 ) (3 ) Net occupancy expense (18 ) (17 ) (15 ) (0 ) (3 ) Advertising and marketing (5 ) (4 ) (7 ) (0 ) 3 Other expenses   (63 )   (73 )     (54 )   10     (9 )

Operating expenses excluding restructuring costs and intangible asset amortization6 of $323 million were up slightly compared to the prior quarter of $321 million, reflecting higher legal and sales tax expense in Business Capital, partially offset by lower expenses on Real Estate Owned (“REO”) in Consumer & Community Banking. The slight decrease from the year-ago quarter result reflects one-time integration expenses in the year-ago quarter and lower employee expenses. The net efficiency ratio6 of 53% increased compared to the prior quarter, and improvement from the year-ago quarter reflects the addition of OneWest Bank. Headcount at September 30, 2016 was 4,650, unchanged from the prior quarter and down from 4,960 a year-ago primarily from strategic initiatives. Restructuring costs in this quarter and the prior quarter continue to reflect our strategic initiatives to reduce operating expenses, while the amortization of intangibles was primarily due to the OneWest Bank acquisition.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes of $77 million for the quarter included $16 million of net discrete tax expense for the recording of a valuation allowance against the international deferred tax asset related to our operations in China. The provision in the prior quarter was $94 million, including $4 million of net discrete tax expense. The year-ago quarter provision was a $560 million benefit, which included a $647 million reversal of the Valuation Allowance, partially offset by $56 million in discrete charges related to our international business.

Excluding discrete items, the effective tax rate for the current and prior quarters was 27% and 33%, respectively, compared to 24% in the year-ago quarter, reflecting the relatively higher domestic earnings. Cash taxes were a net refund of $56 million compared to a net payment of $6 million in the prior quarter and $9 million in the year-ago quarter. The current quarter includes receipt of a tax refund of $45 million from the closing of a prior year income tax audit.

 

Balance Sheet Highlights:

  Earning Assets*                   Change from: ($ in millions) 3Q16 2Q16 3Q15 Prior Quarter     Prior Year   Loans (including assets held for sale) $ 32,294 $ 32,700 $ 34,395 $ (406) $ (2,101) Operating lease equipment, net (including assets held for sale) 17,041   17,025 15,704 16 1,338 Financing and Leasing Assets 49,335 49,725 50,099 (390) (764) Interest bearing cash 6,513 7,083 6,606 (570) (93) Investment securities 3,592 3,229 3,619 363 (26) Indemnification asset 362 376 465 (13) (103) Securities purchased under agreements to resell - - 100 - (100) Credit balances of factoring clients (1,229) (1,215) (1,609) (14) 380 Total Earning Assets $ 58,574 $ 59,197 $ 59,280 $ (623) $ (706) * Certain balances may not sum due to rounding.  

Earning assets at September 30, 2016 declined from the prior quarter, as collections and sales of loans offset $2.6 billion in new originations. The decline in financing and leasing assets resulted from prepayments and asset sales primarily in the Commercial Finance division of Commercial Banking.

Interest bearing cash and investment securities were $10.1 billion at September 30, 2016, and consisted of $6.5 billion of cash ($0.6 billion of which was restricted cash), and $3.6 billion of investment securities. The increase in investment securities from the prior quarter reflects the continued initiative to deploy cash into liquid investments. In addition, there was $0.9 billion of non-interest bearing cash and other restricted balances.

Of the total cash and investment securities, $0.7 billion of the interest bearing cash and investment securities was at the financial holding company, $8.5 billion was at CIT Bank and the remaining $0.9 billion included amounts at the operating subsidiaries and restricted balances. The $0.9 billion of non-interest bearing cash, including restricted balances was comprised of $0.5 billion at the financial holding company and $0.4 billion at CIT Bank and the operating subsidiaries.

                  Deposits and Borrowings* Change from: ($ in millions) 3Q16 2Q16 3Q15 Prior Quarter     Prior Year Total Deposits $ 32,854 $ 32,879 $ 32,329 $ (25 ) $ 525   Unsecured borrowings $ 10,595 $ 10,591 $ 10,680 $ 4 $ (85 ) Secured borrowings   5,954   6,919   8,534   (965 )   (2,580 ) Total Borrowings $ 16,549 $ 17,510 $ 19,214 $ (961 ) $ (2,665 ) * Certain balances may not sum due to rounding.  

Deposits were essentially flat from the prior quarter and represented approximately 66% of CIT’s funding at September 30, 2016, up from 65% at the end of the prior quarter. The weighted average coupon on outstanding deposits declined to 1.22% at September 30, 2016, from 1.25% at June 30, 2016, as we continue to shift towards lower cost deposit products.

Unsecured and secured borrowings comprised 22% and 12% of the funding mix, respectively, at September 30, 2016, compared to 21% and 14%, respectively, in the prior quarter. The decline in secured borrowings from the prior and year-ago quarters was primarily related to redemptions and maturities of structured financings and FHLB advances.

The overall weighted average coupon rate on outstanding deposits and total borrowings was 2.21% at September 30, 2016, essentially unchanged from the June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 levels.

(1)Balances and ratios based on the fully phased-in basis.  

Common stockholders’ equity and tangible common equity increased from the prior quarter and the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting retained earnings. Book value per share and tangible book value per share increased in the quarter due to growth in common stockholders’ equity while the share count remained stable. All regulatory capital ratios increased from the prior quarter, reflecting an increase in capital while risk weighted assets declined slightly, primarily driven by a decline in loans and leases. The ratios presented are estimated Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios under the fully phased-in Regulatory Capital Rules.

In October 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share on its outstanding common stock. The common stock dividend is payable on November 25, 2016 to common shareholders of record as of November 11, 2016.

Excluding the impact relating to assets transferred to held for sale in all periods, net charge-offs were $15 million (0.20% of average finance receivables), compared to $16 million (0.21%) in the prior quarter and $21 million (0.29%) in the year-ago quarter. The current quarter net charge-offs includes $7 million in the energy (oil and gas) portfolio, of which $1 million related to loans that were sold or transferred to assets held for sale. Prior quarter net charge-offs included $17 million in the energy (oil and gas) portfolio.

Non-accrual loans of $289 million (0.96% of finance receivables) increased from $283 million (0.93%) in the prior quarter primarily due to $49 million from one account in the maritime portfolio partially offset by accounts returned to accrual, repayments and charge-offs. The increase compared to the year-ago quarter is primarily due to increases in the energy and maritime portfolios. The provision for credit losses of $46 million increased from the prior quarter primarily due to reserve build in Commercial Banking and Maritime.

The allowance for loan losses was $422 million (1.41% of finance receivables, 1.66% excluding loans subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC) at September 30, 2016, compared to $399 million (1.31% of finance receivables, 1.55% excluding loans subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC) at June 30, 2016 and $335 million (1.03% of finance receivables, 1.23% excluding loans subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC) at September 30, 2015. The increase in allowance for loan losses from the prior quarter was primarily due to reserve builds across the divisions of Commercial Banking, as well as $5 million related to Maritime Finance. The increase from the year-ago quarter was concentrated in the energy and maritime portfolios. Including the impact of the principal loss discount on credit impaired loans, which is essentially a reserve for credit losses on the discounted loans, the commercial loan allowance to finance receivables was 1.93% compared to 1.83% at June 30, 2016 and 1.78% at September 30, 2015. The consumer loans ratio was 6.73% at September 30, 2016 compared to 7.20% at June 30, 2016 and 9.84% at September 30, 2015, as most of the consumer loans purchased were credit impaired and are partially covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. The decrease was driven by the shift in asset mix as new originations offset the run-off of the purchased credit impaired portfolio.

CIT’s loans to the oil and gas industry totaled $0.7 billion or 2.4% of total loans at September 30, 2016, of which 39% were criticized. The decline of $0.1 billion in oil and gas loans was driven by loan sales and pay downs. The portfolio has loss coverage of about 11.7% of the principal balance, reflecting the purchase accounting discount for loans acquired from OneWest Bank and the allowance for loan losses.

Commercial Banking pre-tax earnings decreased from the prior quarter as credit costs returned to a more normalized level and operating expenses in Equipment Finance were elevated from higher sales and local taxes. Comparisons to the year-ago quarter are impacted by the timing of the acquisition of OneWest Bank in August 2015.

Financing and leasing assets, which comprise the vast majority of earning assets, were $21.2 billion at September 30, 2016, down from $21.5 billion at June 30, 2016, and from $22.3 billion a year-ago, mostly driven by decreases in Commercial Finance due to higher prepayments and asset sales. New lending and leasing volume of $1.9 billion declined $0.2 billion compared to the prior quarter, reflecting a reduction in volume in Real Estate Finance, which was particularly strong in the prior quarter, partially offset by increased volume in Commercial Finance. Factored volume was up from the prior quarter due to seasonal trends, and essentially flat with the year-ago quarter.

Both net finance revenue and net finance margin were down from the prior quarter, which included an interest recovery on a loan previously charged off.

Other income increased from the prior quarter, primarily due to seasonally higher factoring commissions, and stronger capital market fees, partially offset by lower gains on asset sales. The decline from the year-ago quarter reflected lower gains on asset sales, partially offset by higher fees and other revenues.

Operating expenses increased from the prior quarter and reflects higher sales and local taxes in Equipment Finance.

The provision for credit losses was $39 million in the current quarter, compared to $11 million in the prior quarter, and $43 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in provision from the prior quarter resulted in an increase in the allowance for loan losses due to modest increases across divisions. Net charge-offs were $22 million (0.42% of average finance receivables), compared to $35 million (0.66%) in the prior quarter and $18 million (0.38%) in the year-ago quarter. Excluding assets transferred to held for sale in all periods, net charge-offs were $15 million in the current quarter, compared to $16 million in the prior quarter and $18 million in the year-ago quarter. Non-accrual loans were $180 million (0.87% of finance receivables), compared to $208 million (1.00%) at June 30, 2016, and $147 million (0.67%) a year-ago. The decrease from the prior quarter was related to loans in the energy sector. The increase in balances from the year-ago quarter was primarily related to loans in the energy sector, partially offset by lower non-accrual balances in Business Capital.

Transportation Finance pre-tax earnings increased slightly from the prior quarter primarily reflecting lower credit costs. Pre-tax earnings decreased from the year-ago quarter, driven by lower other income and higher credit and Commercial Air separation costs. Transportation Finance includes the Commercial Air and Business Air businesses, which will be reclassified to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter.

Financing and leasing assets totaled $19.9 billion at September 30, 2016, compared to $20.0 billion at June 30, 2016 and $18.7 billion at September 30, 2015. Assets grew sequentially in Rail, but were down in Aerospace and Maritime. Assets grew in all three divisions from a year ago. Assets held for sale of $1.1 billion principally included $0.6 billion in the Business Air portfolio and $0.5 billion of commercial aerospace loans (due to the announced sale agreement). New business volume for the quarter totaled $0.4 billion, down from the prior and year-ago quarters reflecting fewer aircraft deliveries.

Net finance revenue decreased slightly from the prior quarter on lower rental revenue in Rail and from the year-ago quarter as the benefit of higher average earning assets was offset by a lower average yield. Net finance margin was down from the prior and year-ago quarters reflecting the net finance revenue trends described above and relatively stable funding costs. Gross yields compared to the prior quarter increased slightly in Aerospace to 11.0% and declined in Rail to 12.4%, reflecting lower rental rates.

Other income primarily consists of gains on asset sales and is net of impairment charges on assets held for sale. Other income decreased from the prior quarter on lower asset sales gains, while the decline from the year-ago quarter largely reflected higher impairments. Gains on asset sales totaled $20 million, $25 million and $22 million for the current, prior and year-ago quarters, respectively. Impairment charges totaled $18 million in the current quarter related to the Business Air portfolio, $18 million in the prior quarter, largely related to the scrapping of rail cars, and $2 million in the year-ago quarter.

Operating expenses were flat with the prior quarter. The current and prior quarter included $10 million and $9 million of costs related to the Commercial Air separation initiative, respectively. The increase compared to the year-ago quarter reflected the higher separation initiative costs.

Net charge-offs, excluding assets transferred to held for sale, were negligible for the current and prior quarters. Non-accrual loans of $54 million (2.45% of finance receivables), increased from $18 million (0.70%) at June 30, 2016 and from $5 million (0.14%) a year-ago. The current quarter increase was due to an increase in Maritime Finance, while the other period balances principally consisted of Business Air loans. The provision for credit losses decreased from the prior quarter, but continued to reflect reserve increases in Maritime. The prior quarter also included charge-offs in the Business Air portfolio related to the assets transferred to held for sale.

All but two aircraft were on lease or under a commitment at quarter-end resulting in 99% utilization in Commercial Air (compared to 100% last quarter), while Rail utilization remained at 94% this quarter. All of the aircraft scheduled for delivery in the next twelve months and 41% of the total railcar order-book have lease commitments.

Consumer and Community Banking pre-tax earnings increased slightly from the prior quarter, driven primarily by lower operating expenses offset by lower other income. Compared to the year-ago quarter, the current quarter benefited from higher other income due to gains on REO. Comparisons to the year-ago quarter are impacted by the timing of the acquisition of OneWest Bank in August of 2015.

Financing and leasing assets totaled $7.2 billion at September 30, 2016, essentially flat compared to June 30, 2016, as new volume offset run-off of the Legacy Consumer Mortgage (“LCM”) portfolios. The LCM portfolios make up $5.0 billion of the current quarter balance, with a significant portion covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. The benefit of these agreements is recorded within the indemnification asset.

Non-accrual loans were $14 million (0.20% of finance receivables) at September 30, 2016, up from $12 million (0.16%) at June 30, 2016 and $2 million (0.02%) at September 30, 2015, reflecting the increase in the LCM portfolios.

NSP pre-tax earnings for the quarter reflected operations in Canada and China. The year-ago pre-tax loss reflected a charge in other income from the recognition of currency translation adjustments and an impairment on the international businesses and higher levels of both operating expenses and net finance revenue, reflective of the remaining businesses at that time.

Financing and leasing assets at September 30, 2016 totaled $1.0 billion, all of which are classified as held for sale, down from $1.1 billion at June 30, 2016 and from $1.8 billion at September 30, 2015. On October 1, 2016, we closed the sale of the Canadian Equipment and Corporate Finance businesses (approximately $700 million in financing and leasing assets).

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. Interest income was unchanged from the prior quarter and is up from a year-ago quarter, primarily related to income generated from the investment portfolio. Other income activity is driven by mark-to-market charges on the TRS and gains or losses on mortgage-backed securities. The current quarter included a $20 million mark-to-market charge on the TRS and $10 million of gains on mortgage-backed securities, compared to a $9 million benefit on the TRS and a $5 million gain on mortgage-backed securities in the prior quarter. The year-ago quarter included a $24 million charge on the TRS. Operating expenses for the quarter reflected restructuring charges of $2 million, compared to $10 million in the prior quarter and $5 million in the year-ago quarter. The prior-year quarter also included transaction costs associated with closing the OneWest Bank acquisition.

Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was $16 million, which included a $19 million pre-tax impairment charge on the servicing liability related to our reverse mortgage servicing operations. This compares to a loss from discontinued operations of $167 million in the prior quarter, which included a $230 million pre-tax charge related to an increase in the interest curtailment reserve associated with our third-party reverse mortgage servicing business, known as Financial Freedom, that we acquired in the OneWest Bank acquisition.

Total net revenues are used by management to monitor business performance. (2) Total net operating lease revenues are the combination of rental income on operating leases less depreciation on operating lease equipment and maintenance and other operating lease expenses. Total net operating lease revenues are used by management to monitor portfolio performance. (3) Earning assets are utilized in certain revenue and earnings ratios. Earning assets are net of credit balances of factoring clients. This net amount represents the amounts we fund. (4) Operating expenses exclusive of restructuring costs and intangible amortization is a non-GAAP measure used by management to compare period over period expenses. (5) Net efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measurement used by management to measure operating expenses (before restructuring costs and intangible amortization) to the level of total net revenues. (6) Total assets from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measurement used by management to analyze the total asset change on a more consistent basis. (7) Tangible book value is a non-GAAP measure, which represents an adjusted common shareholders’ equity balance that has been reduced by goodwill and intangible assets. Tangible book value is used to compute a per common share amount, which is used to evaluate our use of equity. (8) Return on average tangible common equity is adjusted to remove the impact of intangible amortization, goodwill impairment and the impact from valuation allowance reversals from income from continuing operations, while the average tangible common equity is reduced for disallowed deferred tax assets. Return on average tangible common equity is another metric used to evaluate our use of equity.
