CIT Group Inc. and Subsidiaries – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CIT Group Inc. is a bank holding company ("BHC") and a financial holding company ("FHC"). CIT Group Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively "we", "our", "CIT" or the "Company"), is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB") and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY") under the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. CIT was formed in 1908 and provides financing, leasing and advisory services, principally to middle-market companies in a wide variety of industries, primarily in North America.

We also provide banking and related services to commercial and individual customers through our banking subsidiary, CIT Bank, N.A. ("CIT Bank" or the "Bank"), which includes a regional branch network of approximately 80 branches and its online bank.  

CIT Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("OCC"). In addition, CIT Bank, as an insured depository institution, is supervised by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Financial Information

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q for interim financial information and accordingly do not include all information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The financial statements in this Form 10-Q, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of CIT’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 ("2020 Form 10-K").

The accounting and financial reporting policies of CIT conform to GAAP and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Some of the more significant estimates include: Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include financial information related to CIT and its majority-owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is the primary beneficiary (“PB”), if any.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

The current period’s results of operations do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year as a whole.

Announcement of Definitive Merger Agreement

On October 16, 2020, First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("First Citizens"), the parent company of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, and CIT, the parent company of CIT Bank, N.A., jointly announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger. The merger is anticipated to close mid-2021, subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and Interagency Statement

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act gives financial institutions temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements related to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) under ASC 310-40 and past due and non-accrual reporting in certain situations relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. With respect to past due and non-accrual loans, the CARES Act provides that financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with payment accommodations granted due to COVID-19 as past due or non-accrual if they were current on the date used to determine borrower’s delinquency status for the purpose of providing the deferment.

Additionally, on April 7, 2020, a group of federal and state government banking agencies issued an Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) (the “Interagency Statement”) that offers some practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. The Interagency Statement interprets, but does not suspend, ASC 310-40, as any loan

7

CIT Group Inc. and Subsidiaries – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

modification that meets either of these practical expedients would not automatically be considered a TDR because the borrower is presumed not to be experiencing financial difficulty at the time of the loan modification.

CIT applies the TDR provisions of the CARES Act on a product-type basis, or on a loan-by-loan basis, for eligible loan modifications. For eligible loans for which the CARES Act is not applied, CIT follows the applicable guidance of the Interagency Statement. For payment deferrals granted to borrowers impacted by COVID-19, CIT has elected to continue to recognize interest income (at a modified effective rate) subject to consideration of whether the loan should be placed on non-accrual status. In addition, CIT monitors deferred amounts and establishes a credit loss reserve for the estimated amount of any balances that will not be recovered for COVID-19 loans.

After the initial payment deferral period granted due to COVID-19, on a case by case basis where requested, borrowers may be offered an additional deferral of up to 90 days pursuant to the CARES Act or Interagency Statement guidance outlined above. After the deferral period, amounts deferred must be repaid based on modified terms, including adding the unpaid amounts to the end of the contract term, spread throughout the remaining term, or other arrangements made on a case by case basis.

Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

On April 10, 2020, the FASB Staff issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Concessions Q&A”) on Topic 842: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Lease Concessions Q&A provides that entities may elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842, Leases, for lease concessions provided by lessors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. CIT has elected not to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 for such lease concessions as permitted by the Lease Concessions Q&A. We account for these lease concessions prospectively recognizing income on a straight-line basis for operating leases and a modified effective rate for finance leases.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies are included in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021.  

Financial Accounting Standards Adopted as of January 1, 2021

The following pronouncements were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and adopted by CIT as of January 1, 2021. Refer to Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2020 Form 10-K for a detailed description of these pronouncements:  

• ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CIT’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

• ASU 2020-09, Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CIT’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

• ASU 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on CIT’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following accounting pronouncements were issued by the FASB but are not yet effective for CIT.

Standard	Summary of Guidance	Effect on CIT's Financial Statements
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and subsequent related ASUs Issued March 2020 with Updates through January 2021	•The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. •The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. •For contract modifications, the amendments provide the optional relief of accounting for the modification as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis. In addition, companies can consider embedded features to be clearly and closely related to the host contract without reassessment. •For hedge accounting, entities can continue hedge accounting when certain critical terms of a hedging relationship change. Moreover, companies can perform some effectiveness assessments in ways that disregard certain potential sources of ineffectiveness. •Entities may make a one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity (“HTM”), that both reference an eligible reference rate and were classified as HTM before January 1, 2020. This one-time election may be made at any time after March 12, 2020 but no later than December 31, 2022. •The ASU applies prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships. •ASU 2021-01 clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this update on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final update, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued.	•Entities can apply the amendments in this update as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 (January 1, 2020 for calendar year-end companies) or any date thereafter. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). •CIT is currently evaluating the optional expedients and exceptions provided by this ASU, the timing of the election of the standard, and its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures. •In the fourth quarter of 2020, CIT elected to apply the contract modification relief to the interest rate swap contracts for which the discount rate changed from the Federal Funds Rates to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) due to discounting transition by the Central Counterparties (i.e., Chicago Mercantile Exchange and LCH Clearnet). In addition, CIT elected to apply the hedge accounting relief to the hedging interest rate swaps, which allows the Company to not consider a change in the interest rate used for the discounting of a derivative hedging instrument as a change to the critical terms of the hedging relationship. •The Company will continue to assess the impact as the reference rate transition occurs through December 31, 2022. •The HTM one-time election was not applicable to CIT as the Company did not have any HTM debt securities as of January 1, 2020.

Certain of the following tables present credit-related information at the “class” level. A class is generally a disaggregation of a portfolio segment. In determining the classes, CIT considered the loan characteristics and methods it applies in monitoring and assessing credit risk and performance.

Credit Quality Indicators

Management monitors credit quality of commercial loans and financing leases based upon risk rating classifications consistent with bank regulatory guidance and consumer loans based upon FICO scores and loan-to-value ratios (“LTV”).

The definitions of the commercial loan ratings are as follows:

• Pass — loans in this category do not meet the criteria for classification in one of the categories below.

• Special mention — loans in this category exhibit potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of a loan’s repayment prospects.

• Classified — loans in this category range from: (1) loans that exhibit a well-defined weakness and are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, and are characterized by the distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected to (2) loans with weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full unlikely on the basis of current facts, conditions, and values. Classified loans can accrue interest or be placed on non-accrual depending on the Company’s evaluation of these factors.

Commercial criticized loans include loans with a rating of special mention or classified.

CIT Group Inc. and Subsidiaries – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For consumer loans, we monitor credit quality utilizing the borrower FICO scores to evaluate borrowers’ credit payment history and current LTV of the underlying collateral to assess potential loss severity in the event of default. A loan to a borrower with a low FICO score (less than 660) is considered to be of higher risk than a loan to a borrower with a higher FICO score. The Company examines LTV migration and stratifies LTV into categories to monitor risk in the loan classes. The Company periodically updates the property values of real estate collateral (for home equity and residential mortgages) to calculate current LTV ratios, adjusted based on the Case-Shiller Home Price Indices. Further, a loan to a borrower with a high LTV ratio and a low FICO score is at greater risk of default than a loan to a borrower that has both a high LTV ratio and a high FICO score.

The following table summarizes commercial loans disaggregated by year of origination and by risk rating. The consumer loan LTV ratios and FICO scores by year of origination are also presented below. The tables reflect the amortized cost basis of the loans. Accrued interest receivable (within other assets) is reported separately from the loan’s amortized cost basis.

The following table provides a summary of the FICO score distribution for consumer loans by origination year and revolving loans. The average FICO score was 757 and 755 for the total consumer loans included below at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. For loans with active deferment arrangements due to COVID-19, the average FICO score of the borrowers was 703 and 695 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These borrower’s FICO scores are not impacted during the payment deferral period as the credit reporting will not be negatively impacted given no contractual payments are due.

Past Due and Non-accrual Loans

Additional information on reporting of past due and non-accrual loans is provided in the discussion of the CARES Act and Interagency Statement in Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Related to loan modifications made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the loan maintains the borrower’s delinquency status that existed prior to entering the payment deferral period and is frozen for the duration of the payment deferral period as no contractual payments are due.

The table that follows presents portfolio delinquency status, regardless of accrual or non-accrual classification:

⁽¹⁾ Accrued interest that was reversed when the loan went to non-accrual status was $1.3 million and $6.2 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

⁽²⁾ Includes loans that have been charged-off to their net realizable value and loans where the collateral or enterprise value exceeds the expected pay off value.

⁽³⁾ Factored receivables within our Commercial Finance division do not accrue interest and therefore are not considered within non-accrual loan balances; however factored receivables are considered for credit provisioning purposes. Loans that are 90 or more days past due guaranteed by government agencies are not placed on non-accrual status.

⁽⁴⁾ Balances consist mostly of single-family residential OREO.

⁽⁵⁾ Balance as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 includes $26 million and $65 million, respectively, of loans that have or had COVID-19 related deferments (i.e. active deferment or exited).  

Payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied first against outstanding principal, though in certain instances where the remaining recorded investment is deemed fully collectible, interest income is recognized on a cash basis. Interest recorded on non-accrual loans was $0.8 million and $2.2 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Loans are in the process of foreclosure when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the underlying real estate and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The table below summarizes the residential mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure. Consistent with the government agency guidance, CIT has suspended residential property foreclosures and evictions until at least June 30, 2021 to single family homeowners due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

The Company periodically modifies the terms of loans in response to borrowers’ difficulties. Modifications that include a financial concession to the borrower are accounted for as TDRs. A restructuring of a debt constitutes a TDR for purposes of ASC 310-40 when CIT, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. A concession may be either by agreement between CIT and the debtor or imposed by law or a court of law. See Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K for discussion of policies on TDRs.

The CARES Act and Interagency Statement offer some practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. See Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for details. Any loan modification that meets these practical expedients would not automatically be considered a TDR because the borrower is presumed not to be experiencing financial difficulty at the time of the loan modification.

Modified loans that meet the definition of a TDR are subject to the Company's individually reviewed loans policy.

CIT Group Inc. and Subsidiaries – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The following table presents recorded investment of TDRs, excluding those within a trial modification period of $1.6 million at March 31, 2021 and $4.5 million at December 31, 2020:

Recorded investment at the time of default of TDRs that experienced a payment default (payment default is one missed payment) during the quarters and for which the payment default occurred within one year of the modification	$	6.7	$	0.7

There were $9.2 million and $28.3 million of commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Modifications qualifying as TDRs based upon recorded investment at March 31, 2021, were comprised of payment deferrals (52%) and covenant relief and/or other (48%). At December 31, 2020, TDR recorded investment was comprised of payment deferrals (40%) and covenant relief and/or other (60%). The financial impact of the various modification strategies that the Company employs in response to borrower difficulties is presented below. The overall nature of modification programs were comparable in the prior periods.

▪ Payment deferrals result in lower net present value of cash flows, if not accompanied by additional interest or fees, and increased provision for credit losses to the extent applicable. The financial impact of these modifications is not significant given the moderate length of deferral periods.

▪ Interest rate reductions result in lower amounts of interest being charged to the customer but are a relatively small part of the Company’s restructuring programs. The weighted average change in interest rates for all TDRs occurring during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were not significant.

▪ Debt forgiveness, or the reduction in amount owed by borrower, results in incremental provision for credit losses, in the form of higher charge-offs. While these types of modifications have the greatest individual impact on the allowance, the amounts of principal forgiveness for TDRs occurring during quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was not significant, as debt forgiveness is a relatively small component of the Company’s modification programs.

The other elements of the Company’s modification programs that are not TDRs do not have a significant impact on financial results given their relative size or do not have a direct financial impact, as in the case of covenant changes.

⁽¹⁾ CECL adoption was before the MOB Acquisition.

⁽²⁾ Included in the provision for credit losses was $(9.7) million and $75.1 million for the quarters ended March 31,2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, related to the provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures, which is not part of the ACL and is offset in the “Other” line.

⁽³⁾ In connection with the MOB Acquisition, the initial ACL recognized on PCD assets was $58.8 million, of which $38.6 million was charged-off for loans that had been written-off prior to acquisition (whether full or partial) or which met CIT’s charge-off policy at the time of acquisition. After considering loans that were immediately charged-off upon acquisition, the net impact was $20.2 million of additional PCD reserves on January 1, 2020.

⁽⁴⁾ “Other” primarily includes provision changes related to off balance sheet credit exposures, which represents credit cost related to off-balance sheet credit exposures, deferred purchase agreements (“DPA’s”), and letters of credit. The allowance related to this exposure is included in other liabilities.

The ACL was $942.3 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $1,063.8 million at December 31, 2020. The lower ACL balance resulted in a benefit for credit losses of $117.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to a provision of $513.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in the ACL and the provision compared to the prior year periods reflects lower loan balances and an ACL release largely due to the improvement in the macroeconomic scenario forecasts and credit loss trends. The year-ago ACL and provision reflected an initial estimated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the expected impact on the market environment across our portfolio, along with the adoption of the CECL standard and the impact of the MOB Acquisition on January 1, 2020.

The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures decreased from $78.3 million at December 31, 2020 to $68.6 million at March 31, 2021, primarily due to improvement in the macroeconomic forecast compared to the prior quarter.

NOTE 5 — LEASES

Lessee

CIT leases primarily include office space and bank branches; and substantially all of our lease liabilities relate to United States real estate leases under operating lease arrangements. Our lessee finance leases are not significant. Our real estate leases have remaining lease terms of up to 14 years. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The options are included in the lease term when it is determined that it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised.  

The following tables present supplemental balance sheet and cash flow information related to operating leases. Right of use (“ROU”) assets are included in other assets and lease liabilities are included in other liabilities.

The Company leases equipment to commercial end-users under operating lease and finance lease arrangements. The majority of operating lease equipment is long-lived rail equipment which is typically leased several times over the equipment’s life. We also lease technology and office equipment and large and small industrial, medical, and transportation equipment under both operating leases and finance leases.  

Our Rail operating leases typically do not include purchase options. Many of our finance leases, and other equipment operating leases, offer the lessee the option to purchase the equipment at fair market value or for a nominal fixed purchase option; and many of the leases that do not have a nominal purchase option include renewal provisions resulting in some leases continuing beyond initial contractual term. Our leases typically do not include early termination options; and continued rent payments are due if leased equipment is not returned at the end of the lease.

The table that follows presents lease income related to the Company’s operating and finance leases:

In addition, the applicable required minimum guarantor asset coverage ratio ranges from 1.0:1.0 to 1.5:1.0 based on CIT’s credit ratings and was 1.25:1.00 at March 31, 2021.

The Revolving Credit Facility may be drawn, prepaid and redrawn at the option of CIT. The unutilized portion of any commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility may be reduced permanently or terminated by CIT at any time without penalty. The $300 million total commitment amount consists of a $200 million revolving loan tranche and a $100 million revolving loan tranche that can also be utilized for issuance of letters of credit. At March 31, 2021, approximately $24 million was utilized for CIT’s issuances of letters of credit.

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

See Derivative Financial Instruments and Recent Accounting Pronouncements sections in Note 1 — Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K for a description of the Company’s derivative products and transaction policies.

On October 23, 2020, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) published the Interbank offered rate (“IBOR”) Fallbacks Supplement and IBOR Fallbacks Protocol, effective January 25, 2021. The supplement incorporates the fallbacks into new covered IBOR derivatives referencing the 2006 ISDA Definitions unless the parties specifically agree to exclude them. Supervisory authorities encourage all market participants to adhere to the protocol. CIT Bank adhered to the protocol beginning in January 2021.

The following table presents notional amount and fair value of derivative financial instruments on a gross basis.

⁽¹⁾ Fair value balances include accrued interest.

⁽²⁾ Other derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments include risk participation agreements.

⁽³⁾ The Company accounts for swap contracts cleared by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and LCH Clearnet as “settled-to-market”. As a result, variation margin payments are characterized as settlement of the derivative exposure and variation margin balances are netted against the corresponding derivative mark-to-market balances. Gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities were lowered by $65.9 million and $205.7 million, respectively at March 31, 2021 and $20.5 million and $339.9 million, respectively at December 31, 2020.

⁽⁴⁾ The Company’s derivative transactions are governed by ISDA agreements that allow for net settlements of certain payments as well as offsetting of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event of bankruptcy or default of one of the two parties to the transaction. We believe our ISDA agreements meet the definition of a master netting arrangement or similar agreement for purposes of the above disclosure.

⁽⁵⁾ In conjunction with the ISDA agreements described above, the Company has entered into collateral arrangements with its counterparties, which provide for the exchange of cash depending on change in the market valuation of the derivative contracts outstanding. Such collateral is available to be applied in settlement of the net balances upon an event of default of one of the counterparties. Collateral pledged or received is included in other assets or other liabilities, respectively.

Qualifying Hedges

CIT enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on its fixed-rate borrowings. The agreements that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as fair value hedges. The following table represents gains (losses) of fair value hedges recognized as interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. See Note 1 — Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K for a description of its valuation process for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy.

⁽¹⁾ Derivative fair values include accrued interest.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Debt securities AFS — Investments in U.S. government agency and sponsored agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government agency and sponsored agency obligations, U.S. Treasury securities and supranational securities were valued using Level 2 inputs. The market for certain corporate bonds is not active, therefore the estimated fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow technique or other appropriate techniques. Given the lack of observable market data, the estimated fair value of the corporate bonds was classified as Level 3.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — Derivatives were valued using models that incorporate inputs depending on the type of derivative. Besides the fair value of credit derivatives, which were estimated using Level 3 inputs, most derivative instruments were valued using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. See Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments for notional principal amounts and fair values.

Assets Measured at Estimated Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Certain assets or liabilities are required to be measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition. Generally, these adjustments are the result of LOCOM or other impairment accounting.

Total	$	816.7	$	—	$	—	$	816.7	$	(178.9	)

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows:

Assets Held for Sale — The fair value of Level 2 assets was primarily estimated based on the prices of recent trades of similar

assets. The fair value of Level 3 assets was primarily valued under the income approach using the discounted cash flow model based on level 3 inputs including discount rate.

Loans — Loans that are collateral-dependent were measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to

sell. These loans are classified as Level 3 as the fair value of underlying collateral is estimated primarily based on third party

appraisals or opinions adjusted for the Company’s experience with liquidation value.

Mortgage Servicing Rights — Under the amortization method, the carrying value of the MSRs was reduced to its fair value for

the impairment loss recognized. The fair value of the MSRs was valued under the income approach using the discounted cash

flow model based on level 3 inputs including prepayment speed, discount rates and cost to service.

ROU Assets — During 2020, the Company recognized an impairment loss on ROU assets for certain leased facilities. The fair

value of ROU assets was measured based on the discounted cash flows of estimated rental income for the office space to be

subleased, using market participant assumptions. As unobservable inputs are used, ROU assets are classified as Level 3. See

Note 5 – Leases in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K for details.

⁽¹⁾ Carrying value of loans (excluding leases) is net of the ACL.

⁽²⁾ Non-marketable securities carried at cost. See Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis in this note above for debt securities AFS and securities carried at fair value with changes recorded in net income.  

⁽³⁾ Deposits and borrowings include accrued interest, which is included in Other liabilities.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

Loans — Loans are generally valued by discounting expected cash flows using market inputs with adjustments based on cohort level assumptions for certain loan types as well as internally developed estimates at a business segment level. Due to the significance of the unobservable market inputs and assumptions, as well as the absence of a liquid secondary market for most loans, these loans are classified as Level 3. Certain loans are measured based on observable market prices sourced from external data providers and classified as Level 2. Nonaccrual loans are written down and reported at their estimated recovery value which approximates their fair value and classified as Level 3.

Securities Purchased Under Agreement to Resell — The fair value of securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) was determined using a discount cash flow technique. Interest rates appropriate to the maturity and underlying collateral are used for discounting the estimated cash flows. As observable market interest rates are used, the fair value of securities purchased under agreement to resell was classified as Level 2.

Investment Securities –non-marketable — Utilize Level 3 inputs to estimate fair value and were generally recorded under the measurement alternative. FHLB and FRB stock carrying values approximate fair value. Of the remaining non-marketable securities, the fair value is determined based on techniques that use significant assumptions that are not observable in the market.

Deposits — The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposit accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts was the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits was estimated based on a discounted cash flow technique using Level 3 inputs appropriate to the contractual maturity.

31

CIT Group Inc. and Subsidiaries – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Borrowings

The Level 2 fair value of borrowings included:

▪ Unsecured debt — consists of both senior debt and subordinated debt. Unsecured debt was valued using observable market prices of identical instruments.

▪ Secured borrowings — consists of FHLB advances. The estimated fair value of FHLB advances was based on a discounted cash flow technique. The cash flows were calculated using the contractual features of the advance and then discounted using observable market interest rates.

The Level 3 fair value of borrowings included:

▪ Secured borrowings — consists of structured financings and other secured borrowings. The fair value of structured financings was estimated based on a discounted cash flow technique using observable market interest rates adjusted for estimated spreads. The fair value of other secured borrowings was estimated based on unobservable inputs.

Credit balances of factoring clients — The impact of the time value of money from the unobservable discount rate for credit balances of factoring clients is inconsequential due to the short term nature of these balances, therefore, the carrying value approximated fair value, and the credit balances were classified as Level 3.

NOTE 12 — INCOME TAXES

The Company’s global effective income tax rate was 24.1% and 10.4% for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 24.1% rate is primarily due to the impact of higher pre-tax book income on permanent adjustments, the release of reserves relating to uncertain tax benefits due to the statute of limitation expiring in a foreign jurisdiction and the completion of a tax audit examination.    

33

CIT Group Inc. and Subsidiaries – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The quarterly income tax expense is based on a projection of the Company’s annual effective tax rate. This annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date consolidated pre-tax income to determine the interim provision for income taxes before discrete items. The effective tax rate each period is also impacted by a number of factors, including the relative mix of domestic and international earnings, effects of changes in enacted tax laws, adjustments to the valuation allowances, and discrete items. The currently forecasted effective tax rate may vary from the actual year-end 2021 effective tax rate due to the changes in these factors.

Uncertain Tax Benefits

The Company recognizes tax benefits when it is more likely than not that the position will prevail, based solely on the technical merits under the tax law of the relevant jurisdiction. The Company recognizes the tax benefit if the position meets this recognition threshold determined based on the largest amount of the benefit that is more than likely to be realized.

NOTE 13 — COMMITMENTS

The accompanying table summarizes credit-related commitments and other purchase and funding commitments:

Purchase and Funding Commitments
Lessor commitments(1)	$	639.5	$	—	$	639.5	$	628.3

⁽¹⁾ CIT’s purchase and funding commitments relate to the equipment leasing businesses’ commitments to fund finance leases and operating leases, and Rail’s railcar manufacturer purchase commitments.

Financing Commitments

Financing commitments, referred to as loan commitments or lines of credit, primarily reflect CIT’s agreements to lend to its customers, subject to the customers’ compliance with contractual obligations. At March 31, 2021, substantially all undrawn financing commitments were senior facilities. Most of the Company’s undrawn and available financing commitments are in the Commercial Banking segment.

As financing commitments may not be fully drawn, may expire unused, may be reduced or canceled at the customer’s request, and may require the customer to be in compliance with certain conditions, total commitment amounts do not necessarily reflect actual future cash flow requirements.

The table above excludes uncommitted revolving credit facilities extended by Commercial Finance to its clients for working capital purposes. In connection with these facilities, Commercial Finance has the sole discretion throughout the duration of these facilities to determine the amount of credit that may be made available to its clients at any time and whether to honor any specific advance requests made by its clients under these credit facilities.

Letters of Credit

In the normal course of meeting the needs of clients, CIT sometimes enters into agreements to provide financing and letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are issued by CIT to guarantee payment to the beneficiary if a client on whose behalf the letter of credit was issued does not meet its obligation. These financial instruments generate fees and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. To minimize potential credit risk, CIT generally requires collateral, and, in some cases, additional forms of credit support from the client.

34

CIT Group Inc. and Subsidiaries – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Deferred Purchase Agreements

A DPA is a guarantee provided in conjunction with factoring, whereby CIT provides a client with credit protection for trade receivables without purchasing the receivables. The trade receivables terms generally require payment in 90 days or less. If the client’s customer is unable to pay an undisputed receivable solely as the result of credit risk, CIT is then required to purchase the receivable from the client, less any borrowings for such client. The outstanding amount in the table above, less $96.8 million and $157.9 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, of borrowings for such clients, is the maximum amount that CIT would be required to pay under all DPAs. This maximum amount would only occur if all receivables subject to DPAs default in the manner described above, thereby requiring CIT to purchase all such receivables from the DPA clients.

The table above includes $1,743.0 million and $1,881.9 million of DPA credit protection at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to receivables which have been presented to us for credit protection after shipment of goods has occurred and the customer has been invoiced. The table also includes $151.0 million and $47.5 million available under DPA credit line agreements provided at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The DPA credit line agreements specify a contractually committed amount of DPA credit protection and are cancellable by us only after a notice period. The notice period is typically 90 days or less.

NOTE 14 — CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and other Contingencies

CIT is involved, and from time to time in the future may be involved, in a number of pending and threatened judicial, regulatory, and arbitration proceedings as well as proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies. These matters arise in connection with the conduct of CIT’s business. At any given time, CIT may also be in the process of responding to subpoenas, requests for documents, data and testimony relating to such matters and engaging in discussions to resolve the matters (all of the foregoing collectively being referred to as “Litigation”). While most Litigation relates to individual claims, CIT is also subject to putative class action claims and similar broader claims and indemnification obligations.

In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of Litigation matters and indemnification obligations, particularly when such matters are in their early stages or where the claimants seek indeterminate damages, CIT cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of the pending Litigation will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines, or penalties related to each pending matter will be, if any. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, CIT establishes reserves for Litigation when those matters present loss contingencies as to which it is both probable that a loss will occur and the amount of such loss can reasonably be estimated. Based on currently available information, CIT believes that the outcome of Litigation that is currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, but may be material to the Company’s operating results or cash flows for any particular period, depending in part on its operating results for that period. The actual results of resolving such matters may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved.

For certain Litigation matters in which the Company is involved, the Company is able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses in excess of established reserves and insurance. For other matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, such an estimate cannot be determined. For Litigation and other matters where losses are reasonably possible, management currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses as up to $20 million in excess of any established reserves and any insurance we reasonably believe we will collect related to those matters. This estimate represents reasonably possible losses (in excess of established reserves and insurance) over the life of such Litigation, which may span a currently indeterminable number of years, and is based on information currently available as of March 31, 2021. The Litigation matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate.

Those Litigation matters for which an estimate is not reasonably possible or as to which a loss does not appear to be reasonably possible, based on current information, are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure.

The foregoing statements about CIT’s Litigation are based on the Company’s judgments, assumptions, and estimates and are necessarily subjective and uncertain. The Company has several hundred threatened and pending judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings at various stages.

On October 21, 2016, CIT and CIT Bank were named as defendants in an existing lawsuit brought as a qui tam (i.e., whistleblower) action by a former OneWest employee on behalf of the U.S. government. The lawsuit asserts claims related to OneWest’s participation in the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) administered by the United States Treasury Department, as well as Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and Veterans Administration (“VA”) insurance programs. On October 15, 2019, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that, beginning in 2009, CIT (and its predecessor, OneWest) falsely certified its compliance with HAMP, submitted false claims for incentive payments for loan modifications, submitted false claims for FHA and VA insurance payments, and failed to self-report these violations. Plaintiff seeks the return of all U.S. government payments to CIT under the HAMP, FHA or VA programs. CIT has received approximately $93 million in servicer incentives under HAMP, and the government has paid more than $400 million in the aggregate in borrower, servicer, and investor incentives in connection with loans modified by OneWest or CIT under HAMP. The Department of Justice has declined to intervene in this case. The case is now in discovery. On February 12, 2021, CIT filed a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, which is still pending. An amended scheduling order was entered on February 25, 2021, which sets a final pre-trial conference for December 2, 2021. CIT is defending this litigation vigorously and believes that it has meritorious defenses.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF DEFINITIVE MERGER AGREEMENT

On October 16, 2020, First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (“First Citizens”), the parent company of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“FCB”), and CIT Group Inc. jointly announced that they entered into a definitive agreement by and among First Citizens, FCB, FC Merger Subsidiary IX, Inc. and CIT, under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, CIT stockholders will receive 0.062 shares of First Citizens Class A common stock for each share of CIT common stock they own. First Citizens stockholders will own approximately 61% and CIT stockholders will own approximately 39% of the combined company. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary covenants, such as non-solicitation obligations and other provisions, including a break-up fee of $64 million payable in certain circumstances. The Merger Agreement also provides certain termination rights for CIT and First Citizens, including, among others, if the merger has not been completed by October 15, 2021. The combined bank will be regulated by the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks, the FDIC, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

The Board of Directors of the combined company will consist of 14 directors, the current 11 First Citizens Board members and 3 CIT Board members, including Ellen Alemany, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of CIT, Michael A. Carpenter, and Vice Admiral John R. Ryan, USN (Ret.).

SUMMARY OF 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS

See Credit Metrics for discussion on COVID-19 borrower relief arrangements.

The following table summarizes the Company’s results in accordance with U.S. GAAP as included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the quarter ended December 31, 2020. We similarly provide results that exclude noteworthy items, which are described and reconciled to GAAP in the Non-GAAP Financial Measurements section at the end of the MD&A. As explained further in the Non-GAAP Financial Measurements section, we exclude noteworthy items to reflect how management views the underlying performance of the business.

Average number of common shares - diluted (thousands)		99,076			98,569			98,089

First quarter net income available to common shareholders was $301.0 million or $3.04 per diluted common share, which included significant gains on investment sales related to our strategic initiative to monetize unrealized gains within accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and considered noteworthy. Excluding noteworthy items¹ (see following table), first quarter income available to common shareholders was $244.6 million ($2.47), up from both prior periods, reflecting a net benefit in the provision for credit losses of $117 million ($0.90 per diluted common share) resulting from a low level of net charge-offs, and a net reserve release due to improving macroeconomic forecasts, improving credit loss trends and lower loan balances, and lower operating expenses, reflecting the recognition of the Mutual of Omaha Bank (MOB) cost synergies.

The loss in the year-ago quarter included noteworthy items consisting of a goodwill impairment charge, MOB merger and integration costs and MOB day 1 credit provision. Excluding noteworthy items, the loss to common shareholders primarily reflected a high provision for credit losses, including a build-up of the ACL related to the forecasted macroeconomic environment and adoption of CECL. The loss in the prior quarter was driven by a goodwill impairment charge plus several other noteworthy items. See Non-GAAP Financial Measurements for a listing of each noteworthy item and respective balance.

Financial results for the 2021 first quarter included the following noteworthy items:

• $61.5 million (after-tax) ($0.62 per diluted common share) gain on sale of investment securities related to a strategic initiative to monetize unrealized gains within AOCI given market conditions. We also periodically sell investment securities in normal course and do not consider those gains as noteworthy.

• $5.1 million (after-tax) ($0.05 per diluted common share) related to FCB merger costs.

The following table reflects the impact of noteworthy items on our GAAP results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. See Non-GAAP Financial Measurements section.

NET FINANCE REVENUE

Net interest revenue reflects our interest income less interest expense and is included as a line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net interest revenue was $268.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, down from $287.9 million in the year-ago quarter and $275.6 million in the prior quarter.

Key metrics used by management to measure the profitability of our earning assets are Net Finance Revenue (“NFR”)² and Net Finance Margin² ("NFM"). NFR is a non-GAAP measurement that includes net interest revenue (interest and fees on loans, interest on interest-bearing cash, and interest/dividends on investments less interest expense on deposits and borrowings) plus net operating lease revenue² (rental income on operating lease equipment less depreciation on operating lease equipment and maintenance and other operating lease expenses). Due to the nature of our portfolio, which includes a higher proportion of operating lease equipment than most BHCs, certain financial measures commonly used by other BHCs, such as net interest income (“NII”), are not as meaningful for CIT. NII is not used because it includes the impact of debt costs of our operating lease assets but excludes the associated rental income.

NFM is NFR calculated as a percentage of average earning assets² (“AEA”). NFM is used by management, instead of net interest margin (“NIM”), for the same reasons noted for NFR.

The consolidated financial statements include the effects of PAA accretion. Accretion and amortization of certain purchase accounting adjustments primarily impact interest income and interest expense and are summarized in a table in this section.

The following table presents the average balance sheet and related rates, along with NFR and NFM.

The following table presents disaggregated quarter-over-quarter changes in net interest revenue and operating lease margins as presented in the preceding table between volume (level of lending or borrowing) and rate (rates charged to customers or incurred on borrowings). Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate, while rate change is calculated as change in rate times the previous volume. The rate/volume change, change in rate times change in volume, is allocated between volume change and rate change at the ratio each component bears to the absolute value of their total.

²  Net finance revenue, net finance margin, net operating lease revenue and average earnings assets are non-GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” for reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial information. Although net finance revenue, net finance margin, net operating lease revenue and average earnings assets are non-GAAP measures, each is derived from information in our income statement or balance sheet, presented in a different order and with different subtotals than those presented in our financial statements.

⁽¹⁾ Average balances are based on daily balances. Tax exempt income was not significant in any of the periods presented. Average rates are impacted by PAA accretion.

⁽²⁾ The balance and rate presented is calculated net of average credit balances for factoring clients.

⁽³⁾ Non-accrual loans and related income are included in the respective categories.

⁽⁴⁾ Net Operating lease revenue includes rental revenues, net of depreciation and net of maintenance and other operating lease expenses, as these are directly associated with the equipment. Net operating lease revenue is a non-GAAP measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial information.

⁽⁵⁾ AEA, NFR and NFM, and adjusted amounts are non-GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial information.

NFR was $326.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, down from $365.8 million in the year-ago quarter and from $334.8 million in the prior quarter.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, the decline in interest income reflected the lower interest rate environment, which decreased interest earned on our floating rate loan portfolio and cash and investments portfolio. To a lesser extent, the decline reflected a decrease in average loans and leases of 3% compared to the year-ago quarter. Net operating lease revenue was down, driven by continued lease rate compression on new assignments and renewals and lower utilization rates, partially offset by an increase in average operating leases. See the end of this section for more details on our operating lease portfolio. Partially offsetting lower interest income were lower deposit costs from lower rates, as well as a reduction in borrowing costs. See Note 2 – Acquisition and Discontinued Operations in Item 1 for information on the MOB Acquisition.

Compared to the prior quarter, NFR was down, reflecting lower interest income resulting from lower average earning assets and lower purchase accounting accretion resulting from the continued run-off and sales of Legacy Consumer Mortgage (“LCM”) loans. Lower rental income in Rail from downward lease renewal repricing was mostly offset by lower depreciation and maintenance costs and a customer receivable settlement of $6 million that mostly benefited rental income. The NFR decline was partially offset by lower deposit costs primarily from lower rates.

NFM was 2.46% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, down from 2.73% in the year-ago quarter and up from 2.37% in the prior quarter.

NFM declined from the year-ago quarter, reflecting lower market rates impacting yields on loans, cash and investment securities, as well as a higher mix of interest earning cash. Operating lease yields were down, driven by lease railcar renewal rates that re-priced down and lower railcar utilization in Rail. The decline also reflected lower purchase accounting accretion. Partially offsetting these declines were lower weighted average deposit costs from lower rates in all deposit channels, and lower borrowing balances, as discussed further below.  

The increase in NFM compared to the prior quarter was driven by lower weighted average deposit costs, primarily from lower rates in all deposit channels and mix shift resulting in lower average cash and investment balances. Lower deposit costs improved our margin as CDs repriced lower and we reduced our non-maturity deposit rates across our deposit channels. We also grew lower cost HOA deposits, further contributing to the lower deposit costs. These were partially offset by lower yields on loans and investments and lower purchase accounting accretion.

AEA was down compared to the year-ago and prior quarters. AEA compared to the year-ago quarter decreased primarily from a reduction in loans and investments, partially offset by growth in interest earning cash. Commercial Banking average loans and leases declined modestly, driven by a reduction in Real Estate Finance, as well as in the Business Capital and Commercial Finance as business activity declined due to the pandemic, mostly offset by an increase in Rail. The decrease in Consumer Banking average loans was primarily driven by LCM loan sales and continued run-off, as well as overall prepayments.

AEA decreased from the prior quarter reflecting lower interest-bearing cash, investments and loans. The reduction in average interest-bearing cash and investments reflects our management of excess liquidity and is represented in our actions to reduce average deposits and borrowings. Average loans and leases decreased 2% from the prior quarter, primarily driven by lower origination volume, as well as continued run off and sales of the LCM portfolio and higher prepayments in Consumer Banking. Commercial Banking average loan and leases declined 1% while Consumer Banking average loans declined 7%.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, the increase in average deposits reflects growth in our HOA deposits and commercial deposits. The weighted average rate on average outstanding deposits decreased 93 bps to 0.57% from 1.50% in the year-ago quarter reflecting lower rates across all deposit channels.

The decline in average deposits from the prior quarter reflected strategic rate reductions in all our channels, reducing higher cost deposits, and managing excess liquidity, which offset seasonally higher balances and strong organic growth in the HOA channel as we strategically grow this channel. We continued to shift the mix from time deposits to non-maturity deposits. Average non-maturity deposits currently represent 77% of total deposits, compared to 75% in the prior quarter and 71% in the year-ago quarter.

The weighted average rate on average outstanding deposits decreased 13 bps to 0.57% from 0.70% in the prior quarter primarily due to lower rates across all channels, along with a higher mix of lower cost HOA deposits and run off of higher cost brokered deposits.

See Funding and Liquidity section for tables that reflect period end deposits by type and by channel.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased compared to the year-ago and prior quarters, driven by lower interest on FHLB advances and the repayment of the secured facility. The securities sold under agreement to repurchase were acquired as part of the MOB Acquisition and were fully repaid by the end of the 2020 second quarter. The weighted average maturity profile of the combined unsecured senior and subordinated notes is 3.3 years at March 31, 2021, compared to 3.2 years at December 31, 2020.

Gross yield (interest income plus rental income on operating leases as a percent of AEA) in Commercial Banking for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was down from the year-ago and prior quarters driven by decreases in all divisions except Business Capital, which was essentially flat compared to the year-ago quarter, and increased compared to the prior quarter. Gross yield in Commercial Finance and Real Estate Finance were down from the year-ago and prior quarters, primarily driven by changes in asset mix. The Business Capital gross yield was up compared to the prior quarter and essentially flat compared to year ago quarter, as the current quarter had higher renewal income and prepayment benefits, which were offset by lower market rates compared to the year-ago quarter. Gross yield in Rail was down from the year-ago and prior quarters, primarily reflecting lease rates that continued to re-price lower and lower utilization compared with the year-ago quarter.

For the total Consumer Banking segment and within the Consumer and Community Banking division, gross yield for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was down from the year-ago and prior quarters, as yields on new business have contracted reflecting the lower market rate environment, partially offset by higher prepayment activity. Gross yield in LCM was up compared to the year-

42

ago and down compared to prior quarter, primarily due to the level of prepayment activity in respective periods. NFM in Consumer and Community Banking was higher than gross yields as this segment receives an interest benefit from the other segments for the value of excess deposits it generates.

The following table displays PAA accretion by segment and division for both interest income and interest expense. As of March 31, 2021, the remaining accretable PAA on loans was $422 million, of which $38 million related to Commercial Banking and $384 million related to Consumer Banking. This compares to $465 million of remaining accretable PAA on loans as of December 31, 2020, of which $39 million related to Commercial Banking and $426 million related to Consumer Banking. The remaining accretable PAA in Consumer Banking is expected to decline as the LCM loan balances continue to run-off and we are expecting accretion of the remaining Commercial Banking PAA to continue to trend lower. However, amounts may vary quarter to quarter due to fluctuations in prepayments and loan sales, which results in a loan's remaining accretable PAA being accelerated into interest income. (See footnote 1 to the following table).

The following table sets forth the details on net operating lease revenues.

Net Operating Lease Data (dollars in millions)

	Quarters Ended
	March 31, 2021				December 31, 2020				March 31, 2020
Rental income on operating leases	$	194.7	9.94	%	$	198.9	10.14	%	$	209.8	11.32	%
Depreciation on operating lease equipment		84.7	4.33	%		85.5	4.36	%		78.3	4.22	%
Maintenance and other operating lease expenses		51.6	2.64	%		54.2	2.76	%		53.6	2.89	%

Average operating lease equipment, including amounts held for sale	$	7,831.2			$	7,845.3			$	7,416.1

Net operating lease revenue, which is a component of NFR, is driven principally by the performance of the Rail portfolio within the Commercial Banking segment. While our rail portfolio grew, net operating lease revenue in dollars and as a percent of average operating lease equipment for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was down from the year-ago quarter, reflecting lease renewal rates that continued to re-price lower on average across the portfolio and lower utilization, partially offset by lower maintenance costs. Railcar utilization, including commitments to lease, was at a little under 88% at March 31, 2021, compared to 91% at March 31, 2020.

The changes from the prior quarter reflected lower renewal rates, partially offset by a customer settlement that benefited rental income in the first quarter of 2021, and the benefit of lower maintenance costs. Railcar utilization, including commitments to lease, remained flat compared to the prior quarter and lease renewals repriced down approximately 23% this quarter, reflecting current market conditions and the mix of cars that came up for renewal.

Depreciation is recognized on railcars and other operating lease equipment and was up from the year-ago quarter on portfolio growth and relatively flat with the prior quarter. Maintenance and other operating lease expenses tend to be variable and primarily relate to the Rail portfolio. The decline from the year ago quarter reflects lower repair costs partially offset by higher storage costs. The decline from the prior quarter reflects lower freight costs, partially offset by higher repair costs.

CREDIT METRICS

The following provides information on the provision for credit losses and ACL, as well as certain credit metrics, including net charge-off and non-accrual loan levels, that management uses to track the credit quality of the portfolio. Management also utilizes other metrics and statistics such as risk ratings, concentration limits, migration trends, key portfolio stress testing, and LTV ratio and FICO scores on the consumer loans, to monitor the credit quality of the portfolio. See Note 3 – Loans and Note 4 – Allowance for Credit Losses in Item 1 for various tables.

The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $117 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to a provision of $514 million in the year-ago quarter and a slight benefit of less than $1 million in the prior quarter. The benefit this quarter reflected a low level of net charge-offs and a reduction in reserve of approximately $130 million due to the continued improvement in the macroeconomic forecasts and credit trends, as well as lower loan balances. The benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 included $104 million related to the Commercial Banking segment and $13 million in the Consumer Banking segment. The provision in the year-ago quarter of $514 million, included the $45 million noteworthy item related to the MOB acquisition, the adoption of CECL and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the macroeconomic forecasts. The provision related to the Commercial Banking segment was $509 million and the remaining $5 million related to the Consumer Banking segment. The provision in the prior quarter reflected $23 million related to the Commercial Banking segment and offset by a $23 million benefit in the Consumer Banking segment.

Net charge-offs were $13 million (0.15% of average loans) in the current quarter. Net charge-offs were down from $138 million (1.48%) in prior quarter, which was elevated by $111 million due to the application of the Company’s charge off policy in connection with the transfer of the aviation lending portfolio to held for sale, and from $54 million (0.57%) in the year-ago quarter. The timing of net charge-offs is difficult to predict but we expect annualized net charge offs to trend up from the current low level. Net charge-offs are discussed and presented in a table by segment and division later in this section.

Non-accrual loans totaled $665 million (1.90% of loans) at March 31, 2021, compared to $588 million (1.63% of loans) at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily in the Commercial Finance division in Commercial Banking and Consumer and Community Banking in Consumer Banking.

The following table presents details on our ACL, including charge-offs and recoveries and provides summarized components of the provision and allowance:

⁽¹⁾ CECL adoption was before the MOB Acquisition.

⁽²⁾ The provision for credit losses also includes amounts related to the allowance for off balance sheet credit exposures on unfunded lending commitments, DPAs and letters of credit, which are recorded in other liabilities. The allowance for off balance sheet credit exposures totaled $69 million, $78 million, and $120 million at March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The balance in other is primarily related to the transfer of the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures to other liabilities.

⁽³⁾ In connection with the MOB Acquisition, the initial ACL recognized on PCD assets was $58.8 million, of which $38.6 million was charged-off for loans that had been written-off prior to acquisition (whether full or partial) or which met CIT’s charge-off policy at the time of acquisition. After considering loans that were immediately charged-off upon acquisition, the net impact was $20.2 million of additional PCD reserves on January 1, 2020.

See Note 3 — Loans in Item 1 for details regarding the unpaid principal balance, carrying value and ACL related to PCD loans.

In the first quarter of 2021, the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures decreased to $69 million from $78 million at December 31, 2020, largely due to an improvement in the macroeconomic forecast. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit

44

exposures at March 31, 2020 was primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated effect under the CECL standard.

⁽¹⁾ Factored receivables within our Commercial Finance division do not accrue interest and therefore are not considered within non-accrual loans but are considered for credit provisioning purposes.

⁽²⁾ Non-accrual loans include $89.7 million and $97.7 million of TDRs at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Non-accrual loans increased $77 million from December 31, 2020, primarily driven by increases in the Commercial Finance division, as well as an increase in Consumer and Community Banking. The increase in Commercial Finance was driven by loans in the power and energy vertical. The increase in Consumer Banking segment from the prior quarter was primarily driven by additions largely related to COVID-19 impacted loans that became delinquent after the initial deferral period ended. Although delinquent and placed on non-accrual, these loans also have strong loan-to-value ratios and are therefore not expected to result in significant losses. The non-accrual loans related to LCM carry a significant discount and have strong loan-to-value ratios and are therefore not expected to result in significant losses.

As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the ACL as a percentage of non-accrual loans was 142% and 181%, respectively. 56% of our non-accrual accounts were paying current at March 31, 2021, compared to 50% at December 31, 2020. We discuss our policy of placing loans on non-accrual status in Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Item 1. We may place accounts that are presently paying current on non-accrual status when the financial condition of the borrower deteriorates and payment in full is not expected.

Total delinquency (30 days or more) was 1.9% of loans at March 31, 2021 and 2.6% at December 31, 2020. Delinquency status of loans is presented in Note 3 — Loans in Item 1. We also included a delinquency table specific to COVID-19 loans that were provided relief in the COVID-19 Pandemic Response—COVID-19 Borrower Relief Arrangements section.

The following table presents a summary of total commercial criticized loans. Detailed definitions of the commercial loan ratings and a detailed table are provided in Note 3 – Loans in Item 1.

As a % of total commercial loans	15.1%	14.9%	9.1%

Commercial criticized loans decreased by $46 million from December 31, 2020 as compared to the $2.2 billion increase in 2020 which was primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse effect on the macroeconomic environment across our portfolio, in addition to an increase related to the MOB Acquisition. Of the $46 million decrease from December 31, 2020, $70 million reduction related to Business Capital offset by $29 million increase related to Consumer and Community Banking.

COVID-19 Borrower Relief Arrangements

CIT is working prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their current contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. Refer to the tables below for a summary of the key data points related to the COVID-19 loan modifications.

Included within Title I of the CARES Act, as amended, was a provision for SBA funding of small business loans through the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) for small businesses to keep their employees paid during the COVID-19 pandemic, with applications accepted through August 8, 2020. PPP loans are guaranteed by the SBA and forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1% and a contractual term of two to five years under the Flexibility Act, if not forgiven, in whole or in part. The Flexibility Act also extended the payment deferral period from six months to ten months. The SBA pays the originating bank (CIT) a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5%, based on the size of the loan, which will be recognized over the contractual term of the loan. CIT Bank is a participating PPP lender. At March 31, 2021, CIT had a remaining outstanding balance of approximately $202 million of PPP loans (net of returns) with primarily a two-year contractual term, for approximately 425 borrowers.

Loan modifications related to COVID-19 totaled $607 million at March 31, 2021, including deferments of $329 million and other modifications, such as covenant relief, of $278 million compared to $705 million, $458 million and $247 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020. The following table provides a summary of loan deferments approved for COVID-19 impacted borrowers, with balances as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In addition, the balance and number of accounts for new initial deferments granted during the first quarter and which borrowers have extended for a second deferment period are presented.

The total past due loans with COVID-19 deferments that have exited deferment status of approximately $187 million represents 28.5% of the Company's total past due loans and 0.5% of total loans. Of the $217 million of non-accrual loan deferments, approximately 35% were paying current.

As discussed in Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant accounting Policies, loans with deferments granted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will generally continue to accrue interest during the deferral period, with a reserve established for amounts deemed potentially uncollectible. Rentals on operating leases will continue to accrue until such time that it is determined that collection of the rental payments is no longer probable. As of March 31, 2021, the accrued and unpaid interest within other assets related to loans that have or had COVID-19 related deferments (i.e. active deferment or exited) were approximately $6 million and amounts charged-off through the provision for credit losses during the quarter were not significant. Accrued rentals on operating leases related to accounts with COVID-19 related modifications were approximately $7 million at March 31, 2021.

With respect to the non-accrual, past due and TDR information provided throughout this section, see discussion of the CARES Act and Interagency Statement in Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Rental Income on Operating Lease Equipment

Rental income on operating leases from equipment we lease is generated in the Rail, Commercial Finance and Business Capital divisions in the Commercial Banking segment. Rental income is discussed in “Net Finance Revenue” and “Results by Business Segment”.

Other Non-Interest Income

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, other non-interest income increased by $99 million compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by higher gains on the sale of investment securities. Of the total pre-tax gains on investment securities of $104.7 million, $83 million was considered a noteworthy item related to our strategic initiative to monetize unrealized gains on investment securities in AOCI. Excluding the noteworthy item, the $16 million increase reflects higher gains on sales of leasing equipment, higher gain on LCM loans sales, higher gain on sale of investment securities, and a credit valuation adjustment gain of $3 million in the current quarter compared to an $8 million loss in the year-ago quarter related to customer derivatives, partially offset by lower capital market fees. See tables in the Loans and Leases section, which include amounts of loans and equipment sold by segment.

Other non-interest income was up from $161.3 million in the prior quarter. Excluding the noteworthy items, the $14 million decrease reflects lower factoring commissions due to seasonally lower volumes, lower capital markets fees, partially offset by higher gains on the sale of equipment and higher gains on the sale of investment securities. The reduction in other income reflects a $3 million lower net gain on the sale of LCM loans ($22 million in the current quarter compared to $25 million in the prior quarter) while the prior quarter included an $8 million litigation recovery.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial information of total net revenues and description of the calculation.

Depreciation on Operating Lease Equipment

Depreciation expense is driven by rail equipment and small and large ticket equipment, in the Rail, Business Capital and Commercial Finance divisions in Commercial Banking.

Maintenance and Other Operating Lease Expenses

Maintenance and other operating lease expenses relate to equipment ownership and leasing costs associated with the Rail portfolio and tend to be variable. Rail provides railcars primarily pursuant to full-service lease contracts under which Rail as lessor is responsible for railcar maintenance and repair.

Depreciation, along with Maintenance and Other Operating Lease Expenses, are components of NFR and discussed in the Net Finance Revenue section.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were down from the year-ago and prior quarters. Each of the quarters include noteworthy items. In the current quarter, the noteworthy item included merger costs related to FCB of $6.9 million. The year-ago quarter included a noteworthy item related to MOB integration costs (see table below for line item impacts). In the prior quarter, noteworthy items included $17.9 million related to facilities impairment resulting from the exit of leased facilities as part of our strategy to optimize our branch footprint and streamline office locations, $11.4 million related to FCB merger costs and $9.6 million MOB merger and integration costs. The FCB merger costs primarily relate to professional fees.

Operating expenses, excluding noteworthy items and intangible asset amortization were down by $50.1 million compared to the year-ago quarter reflecting cost reduction initiatives, including the recognition of cost synergies from our MOB acquisition, as well as lower advertising and marketing costs, mostly related to our Direct Bank deposit gathering activity.

Operating expenses excluding intangible asset amortization and noteworthy items was down by $13.6 million compared to the prior quarter due to lower FDIC insurance costs and professional fees, partially offset by an increase from annual benefit restarts.

50

The noteworthy items in the following table for March 31, 2021 relate to the FCB merger. December 31, 2020 includes both FCB merger and MOB Acquisition merger and integration costs, while March 31, 2020 includes only MOB Acquisition merger and integration costs.

The net efficiency ratio excluding noteworthy items and intangible asset amortization was 54.6% compared to 62.2% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease from the year-ago quarter was driven by the lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower total net revenue.

The net efficiency ratio was 62.7% in the prior quarter. The net efficiency ratio excluding noteworthy items and intangible asset amortization improved slightly from 54.9% in the prior quarter.

Goodwill Impairment

The deterioration of the macroeconomic environment triggered goodwill impairment assessments that resulted in impairments in the first and fourth quarters of 2020.

⁽¹⁾ Effective tax rate, excluding noteworthy items and tax discrete items are non-GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information.

The effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 24.1% in the current quarter, compared to 76.4% in the prior quarter and 10.4% in the year-ago quarter.

The ETR before noteworthy and discrete tax items was 25.9% in the current quarter, compared to 27.8% in the prior quarter and 18.1% in the year-ago quarter.

The ETR before tax discrete and noteworthy items was lower in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter primarily due to the impact of the required true-up to the year to date provision for income taxes resulting from the decrease in the annual ETR quarter over quarter.

The ETR before tax discrete and noteworthy items was higher in the current quarter compared to the year ago quarter primarily due to the effect that the changes in forecasted pre-tax income has on the permanent and other adjustments.

The ETR each quarter is impacted by a number of factors, including the relative mix of domestic and international earnings, effects of changes in enacted tax laws, adjustments to valuation allowances (“VA”), and discrete items. The future period’s ETR may vary due to changes in these factors.

Federal cash income taxes paid will remain minimal until the Company's net operating loss (“NOLs”) carry-forwards are fully utilized.

Pre-tax income for the quarter was up from the year-ago quarter. The year-ago quarter included a goodwill impairment charge and a $41.6 million charge to the provision for credit losses related to the MOB Acquisition. Pre-tax income, excluding noteworthy items was up from a pre-tax loss in the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by lower credit costs in the current quarter. The year-ago quarter credit provision reflected the initial impact of the global pandemic from the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the expected ensuing adverse impact on the macroeconomic environment that resulted in a significant increase in the provision for credit losses. There was a benefit in the current quarter credit provision, reflecting a continued improvement in the macroeconomic forecasts and credit trends, along with lower loan balances. Results for the current quarter compared to the year-ago quarter also reflected lower operating expenses and lower NFR.

Pre-tax income was up compared to the prior quarter. Pre-tax income, excluding noteworthy items was up, reflecting the noted benefit this quarter in the provision for credit losses and lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower other non-interest income and a slight decline in NFR. Noteworthy items in the prior quarter included an impairment charge related to the remaining goodwill.

Average loans were down from the year-ago and prior quarters, primarily reflecting the decline in Real Estate Finance due to higher prepayments and lower volume. The decline in average loans from the year ago quarter also reflects a decline in Business Capital. Deposits attributed to this segment at March 31, 2021 include approximately $6.5 billion of HOA deposits and other commercial deposits of $4.2 billion.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, new business volume was down, reflecting the continued impact from the macroeconomic environment driven mainly by the Real Estate and Commercial Finance divisions.

Factored volume of $5.8 billion was down from $6.1 billion in the year-ago quarter, reflecting the impact from the macroeconomic

52

environment that reduced demand throughout 2020 and continued in the first quarter of 2021, and down from $7.0 billion in the prior quarter reflecting seasonal trends.

Trends included:

• NFR was down from the year-ago quarter, reflecting lower asset balances and the low interest rate environment that reduced income on the floating rate loans, as well as lower Rail lease renewal rates and continued low utilization that reduced net operating lease revenue. NFR was down slightly from the prior quarter. NFR and NFM are discussed in detail in the Net Finance Revenue section.

• Net operating lease revenue is driven primarily by the performance of our Rail portfolio and reflects continued compression on our lease rates on new assignments, which encompasses new equipment and remarketing existing equipment to different customers, and renewals with the same customer, as well as the impact of low utilization. The declines in rental income from the year-ago and prior quarters were partially offset by lower maintenance and other operating lease expenses. The current quarter included a customer receivable settlement of $6 million that mostly benefited rental income. See further discussion in the Net Finance Revenue section.

• PAA accretion for loans and deposits continues to decline and totaled $2.1 million in the current quarter, compared to $5.3 million in the year-ago quarter and $2.3 million in the prior quarter. See Purchase Accounting Accretion table in Net Finance Revenue section for amounts of PAA accretion by division.

• NFM decreased compared to the year-ago quarter due to the drivers noted in NFR discussed above and was up slightly from the prior quarter.

Consumer Banking

Consumer Banking includes the Consumer and Community Banking and Legacy Consumer Mortgages (“LCM”) divisions. Retail Banking, Consumer Lending, Community Development Lending and SBA Lending are offerings within Consumer and Community Banking. LCM consists of acquired SFR loans that are in run-off. Revenue is generated from interest earned on residential mortgages, small business loans and from fees for banking services.

Pre-tax income for the quarter was up from the year-ago quarter. The current quarter included a noteworthy item related to our strategic decision to sell certain investment securities, while the year-ago quarter included a goodwill impairment charge and a $3.2 million charge to the provision for credit losses from the MOB Acquisition.

Pre-tax income, excluding noteworthy items was up compared to the year-ago quarter, reflecting lower operating expenses, lower credit costs, and higher other non-interest income, all of which more than offset the decline in NFR.

Pre-tax income was down from the prior quarter. The noteworthy item in the prior quarter reflected a goodwill impairment charge. Pre-tax income, excluding noteworthy items was down reflecting lower NFR and a lower benefit for credit losses due to lower loan balances, and partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Compared to the year-ago quarter and prior quarter, average loans were down for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to LCM loan sales and run-off, and higher prepayment activity of consumer mortgage loans overall.

Deposits, which include deposits from the branch and online channels, decreased from the year-ago quarter and the prior quarter. The declines are primarily driven by reductions in time deposits. See discussions in Net Finance Revenue and Funding and Liquidity sections.

53

Trends included:

• NFR decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to the year-ago quarter and prior quarter, primarily due to lower loan balances and the lower market rate environment, partially offset by an increase in interest benefit that this segment receives from the other segments for the value of excess deposits it generates.

• PAA accretion income for loans and deposits totaled $16.2 million in the current quarter, compared to $18.6 million in the year-ago quarter and $22.1 million in the prior quarter. See Purchase Accounting Accretion table in Net Finance Revenue section for amounts of PAA accretion by division.

Corporate

Corporate includes certain items that are not allocated to operating segments. Some of the more significant and recurring items include interest income on investment securities, a portion of interest expense primarily related to corporate funding costs, mark-to-market adjustments on foreign currency hedges and income on BOLI (other non-interest income), restructuring charges, as well as certain unallocated costs and intangible assets amortization expenses (operating expenses) and loss on debt extinguishments.

Pre-tax results for the quarter were up from the year-ago and prior quarters, driven by gains on sales of investment securities.

Pre-tax income in the current quarter included two noteworthy items, $80.4 million of gains on strategic sales of investment securities and $6.9 million related to FCB merger costs. Pre-tax loss in the prior quarter included three noteworthy items, $17.9 million facilities impairment charge resulting from the exit of leased facilities as part of our strategy to optimize our branch footprint and streamline office locations, $11.4 million of FCB merger costs and $9.6 million of MOB merger and integration costs.

The year-ago quarter included a noteworthy item of $17.1 million related to MOB merger and integration costs. Noteworthy items are listed in the Non-GAAP Financial Measurements section.

RISK MANAGEMENT

CIT is subject to a variety of risks that may arise through the Company's business activities, including the following principal forms of risk that are explained further in our 2020 Form 10-K.

• Credit risk is the risk of loss when a borrower or series of borrowers do not meet their financial obligations to the Company, or their performance weakens, and increased reserving is required. Credit risk may arise from lending, leasing, the purchase of accounts receivable in factoring and/or counterparty activities.

• Asset risk is the equipment valuation and residual risk of leased equipment owned by the Company that arises from fluctuations in the supply and demand for the underlying leased equipment. The Company is exposed to the risk that, at the end of the lease term, the value of the asset will be lower than expected, resulting in either reduced future lease income over the remaining life of the asset or a lower sale value.

• Market risk includes interest rate and foreign currency risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates can have an adverse impact on the Company’s NFR and on the market or liquidity value of the Company’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet obligations. Foreign currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies can have an adverse impact on the Company’s non-dollar denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows. See detailed discussion in the Interest Rate Risk section below.

• Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company has an inability to maintain adequate cash or collateral resources and funding capacity to meet its obligations, including in stressed environments. See discussion in the Funding and Liquidity section.

• Capital adequacy risk is the risk that the Company does not have adequate capital to cover its risks and to support its growth and strategic objectives. See discussion in the Capital section.

• Strategic risk is the risk of the impact on earnings or capital arising from adverse strategic business decisions, improper implementation of strategic decisions, or lack of responsiveness to changes in the industry, including changes in the financial services industry as well as fundamental changes in the businesses in which our customers and our firm engage.

• Operational risk is the risk of financial loss, damage to the Company’s reputation, or other adverse impacts resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, people or external events.

• Technology Risk is the risk of financial loss, damage to the Company’s reputation or other adverse impacts resulting from unauthorized (malicious or accidental) disclosure, modification, or destruction of information, including cyber-crime, unintentional errors and omissions, Information Technology (“IT”) disruptions due to natural or man-made disasters, or failure to exercise due care and diligence in the implementation and operation of an IT system.

• Compliance Risk is the risk that the Company is not in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards of conduct, which may result in fines, regulatory criticism or business restrictions, or damage to the Company’s reputation.

59

• Reputational Risk is the potential that negative publicity, whether true or not, will cause a decline in the value of the Company due to changes in the customer base, costly litigation, missed opportunities, or other revenue reductions or expense increases.

Interest Rate Risk (a component of Market Risk)

CIT is exposed to the risk that changes in market conditions or government policy may affect interest rates and negatively impact earnings. The risk arises from the nature of CIT’s business activities, the composition of CIT’s balance sheet, and changes in the level or shape of the yield curve. CIT manages this inherent risk strategically based on prescribed guidelines and approved limits.

Interest rate risk can arise from many of CIT’s business activities, such as lending, leasing, investing, deposit taking, derivatives, and funding activities. This risk is a result of assets and liabilities repricing at different times, or not at all, as interest rates change. We evaluate and monitor interest rate risk primarily through two metrics.

• Net Interest Income Sensitivity (“NII Sensitivity”), which measures the net impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on forecasted NFR, for our interest rate sensitive assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments, assuming a static balance sheet over a twelve-month period; and

• Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity (“EVE Sensitivity"), which measures the net impact of these hypothetical changes on the value of equity by assessing the economic value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments.

Our exposure to interest rate risk is guided by the company’s Risk Appetite Framework and a series of risk metrics including measurements of changes in income given a change in rates. The Company utilizes tools across the balance sheet to adjust its interest rate risk exposures, including through business line actions and actions within the investment, funding and derivative activities, as well as deposit product design and pricing.

The composition of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities generally results in a net asset-sensitive position, concentrated at the short end of the yield curve, mostly driven by moves in LIBOR, whereby our assets will reprice faster than our liabilities. Interest rate sensitive assets generally consist of interest-bearing cash, investment securities, and commercial and consumer loans. Approximately 60% of our total Commercial and Consumer loans have floating contractual reference rates (or approximately 50% of our loans and leases), the majority of which are indexed to 1-month and 3-month LIBOR. Approximately 70% of our floating rate loans have index floors, of which approximately 50% are set at 0%.

In 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, which is the authority responsible for regulating LIBOR, announced that the publication of LIBOR is not guaranteed beyond 2021. On November 30, 2020, the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) announced it will consult on its intention to cease the publication of one week and two-month USD LIBOR settings at the end of December 2021 and the remaining USD LIBOR settings at the end of June 2023. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency followed with a joint statement encouraging banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate for most of our floating rate earning assets, particularly in Commercial Finance, Real Estate Finance and Consumer Banking (primarily mortgages), as well as certain liabilities and off-balance sheet exposures. We continue to monitor industry and regulatory developments and have a well-established transition program in place to manage the implementation of alternative reference rates as the market transitions away from LIBOR. Coordination is being handled by the Alternative Rates Working Group, a cross-functional team directed by a senior executive-level steering committee. Its mission is to work with CIT's businesses to ensure a smooth transition for CIT and its customers to an appropriate LIBOR alternative. Certain financial markets and products have already migrated to alternatives. CIT's Alternative Rates Working Group ensures that CIT is ready to move quickly and efficiently as consensus around LIBOR alternatives emerge.

As part of the transition to alternative rates, we began linking floating rate FHLB advances to Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) consistent with the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s directive to the FHLB in the first quarter of 2020. Additionally, the CIT debt issuance in the second quarter of 2020 contained a floating rate component based on SOFR plus a margin. CIT will continue to assess the use of SOFR and other alternative rates as the market and best practices for transitioning to alternative rates develop.

Our funding sources consist primarily of non-maturity deposits and time deposits generated through the core deposit channels, including Online, Branch, HOA and Commercial as well as our network of deposit brokers. We also support our funding needs through wholesale funding sources (unsecured and secured debt), including FHLB advances.

At March 31, 2021, deposits totaled $42 billion. The deposit rates we offer are influenced by market conditions and competitive factors. Market rates are the key drivers of deposit costs and we continue to optimize deposit costs by improving our deposit mix, which includes the addition of relatively low cost HOA deposits. Changes in interest rates, expected funding needs, as well as actions by competitors, can affect our deposit taking activities and deposit pricing. We continue to believe our targeted non-maturity deposit customer retention is strong and we remain focused on optimizing our mix of deposits. We regularly assess the effect of deposit rate changes on our balances and seek to achieve optimal alignment between assets and liabilities. As CIT evolves its strategies through various interest rate cycles, management may periodically revise the modelling assumptions and approaches in accordance with CIT’s governance structure.

The table below summarizes the results of simulation modeling produced by our asset/liability management system. The simulations we run require assumptions about rates, time horizons, balance sheet volumes, prepayment speeds, pricing and deposit behaviors, along with other inputs. The results presented below reflect the simulation of the NII Sensitivity over the next twelve months and the EVE Sensitivity over the life of the interest rate sensitive assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items. These simulations assume an immediate 100 and 200 bps parallel increase and a 25 bps parallel decrease for both periods from

60

the market-based forward curve. The NII Sensitivity is presented based on an assumption that the balance sheet composition and size remain static over the 12-month projection period.

NII Sensitivity and EVE Sensitivity (dollars in millions)

	March 31, 2021								December 31, 2020
	+200 bps			+100 bps		-25 bps / 0% Floors			+200 bps		+100 bps		-25 bps / 0% Floors
NII Sensitivity	$	169		$	95	$	(13	)	$	137	$	85	$	(15	)
EVE Sensitivity	$	(8	)	$	20	$	(15	)	$	6	$	62	$	(54	)  )

The NII Sensitivity and EVE Sensitivity results presented above assume that the Company takes no action in response to the changes in interest rates and includes only impacts from interest rate related influences. NII Sensitivity generally assumes cash flows from portfolio run-off are reinvested in similar products or cash to keep the balance sheet static. For that reason and others, the estimated impacts do not reflect the likely actual results but serve as estimates of interest rate risk. NII Sensitivity is not comparable to actual results disclosed elsewhere or directly predictive of future values of other measures provided.

The 25 bps down shock reported above is modeled with an assumption of a 0% market rate floor. As part of our broader interest rate risk management practices, we also assessed a scenario which does not floor market rates at 0%, thereby allowing market rates to turn negative. In such a scenario, we expect the NII Sensitivity to be greater than the 25 bps down shock reported above.

As of March 31, 2021, EVE sensitivity primarily decreased due to extension in the mortgage securities and residential mortgage loan book as well as from shortening in the duration of the non-maturity deposit products as a result of the rate environment. NII sensitivity changes were largely a result of the Balance Sheet compositional changes.

On a net basis, we generally have more floating rate/re-pricing interest sensitive assets than liabilities in the near term. As a result, the interest rate risk sensitivity of our current portfolio is more impacted by moves in short-term interest rates. Therefore, the NFR associated with the interest rate sensitive assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items may increase if short-term interest rates rise or decrease. However, changes would also be impacted by factors beyond interest rates, such as changes in balance sheet composition, spread compression or expansion, and deviations from modelled deposit betas. In addition, re-pricing of our non-interest rate sensitive assets (for example, the rail operating leases) will impact NFR.

Market-implied forward rates over the future twelve months are used to estimate a base interest rate scenario for the net interest income projection in the base case for NII Sensitivity. This base projection is compared with those calculated under varying interest rate scenarios to arrive at NII Sensitivity. Though there are many assumptions that affect the estimates for NII Sensitivity, those pertaining to deposit pricing, deposit mix and overall balance sheet composition are particularly impactful. Management continually evaluates the sensitivity of its risk metrics to these key assumptions.

EVE Sensitivity supplements net interest income simulation and sensitivity analysis as it estimates risk exposures beyond a twelve-month horizon. EVE Sensitivity modeling measures the extent to which the economic value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments may change in response to a change in interest rates. EVE Sensitivity is calculated by subjecting the balance sheet to different rate shocks, measuring the net value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, and comparing those amounts with the EVE in the base case, calculated using a market-based forward interest rate curve. The methodology with which the operating lease assets are assessed in the EVE Sensitivity results in the table above reflects the existing contractual rental cash flows and the expected residual value at the end of the existing contract term.

A wide variety of potential interest rate scenarios beyond those presented here are simulated within our asset/liability management system. Interest sensitive assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments are valued using discounted cash flow analysis for EVE Sensitivity. Rates are shocked via a set of scenarios that include both parallel and non-parallel interest rate movements. Scenarios are also run to capture our sensitivity to changes in the shape of the yield curve. Furthermore, we evaluate the sensitivity of these results to a number of key assumptions, such as discount spreads, deposit beta and prepayments of mortgage-related assets.

NII Sensitivity and EVE Sensitivity risk metrics have been established and are monitored for certain of the key scenarios. We manage the exposure to changes in NII Sensitivity and EVE Sensitivity in accordance with our risk appetite and within Board-approved limits.

We use results of our various interest rate risk analyses to formulate and action asset and liability management (“ALM”) strategies, in coordination with the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), to achieve the desired risk profile, while managing our objectives for capital adequacy, liquidity risk exposures and other strategic objectives. Specifically, we may manage our interest rate risk position through certain pricing strategies and product design for loans and deposits, our investment portfolio, issuing term debt with floating or fixed interest rates, and using derivatives such as interest rate swaps, which modify the interest rate characteristics of certain assets or liabilities.

These measurements provide an estimate of our interest rate sensitivity; however, they do not account for potential changes in credit quality, size, mix, and prepayment characteristics of our balance sheet, changes in PAA, or changes in the competition for business in the industries we serve. They also do not account for other business developments such as the recently announced Definitive Merger Agreement impact and other actions that could affect NFR, or for management actions that could affect NFR or that could be taken to change our risk profile. Accordingly, we can give no assurance that actual results would not differ materially from the estimated outcomes of our simulations. Further, the range of such simulations is not intended to represent our current view of the expected range of future interest rate movements.

FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY

We maintain a strong and diversified funding and liquidity foundation. As of March 31, 2021 we were 90% deposit funded, had a strong liquidity profile, and maintained a comprehensive liquidity risk management framework. The framework includes monitoring processes and systems that are designed to ensure we have the appropriate level of liquidity to meet expected and contingent funding needs under both normal and stressed environments.  

CIT actively manages its liquidity and monitors liquidity risk through a suite of tiered early warning indicators along with management and Board limits. The assessments of liquidity risk are measured under the assumption of normal operating conditions as well as under a range of stress scenarios, which use assumptions to reflect the changing market environment. Such scenarios cover a range of events, including systemic market-wide events and CIT-specific events. Liquidity stresses are applied in terms of duration and severity. Although not required by regulators, CIT continues to calculate and maintain a strong Liquidity Coverage Ratio above 100%, as defined for Category IV banks based on the FRB Tailoring Rule.

Liquidity stress test results, along with our risk metrics and other liquidity risk measurement practices, inform our business strategy, risk appetite, requirements for minimum balances of Liquid Assets and contingency funding plans.

We utilize a series of measurement tools to assess and monitor the level and adequacy of our liquidity position, liquidity conditions and trends. The primary tool is a liquidity forecast designed to identify movements in and levels of available cash and collateral flows, both contractually and behaviorally. We use a stress testing framework to better understand the range of potential risks and the impacts of those risks on CIT. Included among our liquidity measurement tools are risk metrics that assist in identifying potential liquidity risk and CIT’s exposure to those risks as well as their impact on CIT’s liquidity.

Oversight is provided by the Risk Management Committee, Enterprise Risk Committee, ALCO and the Risk Control Committee.

CIT closely monitors daily and intraday liquidity requirements in order to maintain appropriate amounts of Liquid Assets on our balance sheet and access to contingent sources of liquidity in order to meet our obligations.

During the market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we enhanced our monitoring and internal communication around liquidity risk. Consistent with our enhanced monitoring, we continue to maintain strong levels of Liquid Assets, above our internal limits.

At March 31, 2021, we had approximately $9.5 billion of total Liquid Assets and approximately $5.5 billion of contingent liquidity sources available, most of which is held at the Bank, commensurate with our assets.

• At March 31, 2021, our Liquid Assets comprised approximately 17% of total assets and included $5.2 billion of Available Cash (of which $0.7 billion is available at the parent and non-bank subsidiaries) and approximately $4.3 billion of High Quality Liquid securities (“HQL securities”), of which approximately $0.8 billion is pledged but not drawn against at the FHLB and are also available for sale.

• At March 31, 2021, our contingent liquidity sources include:

o A committed and secured ABL facility of $750 million available to the parent and non-bank subsidiaries, of which $722 million was unused, provided that eligible assets are available to serve as collateral. Based on eligible collateral, net of reserves, $501 million was available to be drawn to support the FHC liquidity needs.

o A committed Revolving Credit Facility of $300 million, of which $276 million was available to be drawn by CIT Group Inc.

o FHLB capacity of $5.3 billion (collateralized by lending assets), of which $0.6 billion was outstanding, resulting in $4.7 billion of available capacity for CIT Bank. (The $5.3 billion capacity amount excludes $0.7 billion of capacity to borrow against HQL securities, which are pledged at the FHLB but are available for sale until CIT borrows against the securities).

We continue to expand our tools to monetize HQL securities through the additional FHLB capacity and unutilized repo lines.

In addition, the Company has access to a borrowing facility with the FRB Discount Window and beginning May 1, 2020, CIT Bank has access to a secured borrowing facility with the FRB Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility. No amounts were outstanding with these facilities. See “FRB” section further below.

Cash

Cash totaled $5.3 billion at March 31, 2021 and $4.0 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by sales of investment securities.

Investment Securities

Investment securities consisted primarily of US Treasury and Agency-issued fixed income securities and totaled $4.9 billion at March 31, 2021 and $6.9 billion at December 31, 2020, of which $4.7 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively, were AFS. Given market conditions, during the quarter we strategically sold certain AFS securities, which were primarily mortgage backed securities (“MBS”), to monetize unrealized gains that resided in AOCI. Securities of $0.9 billion and $1.9 billion were pledged as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, to secure public funds, FHLB financing availability, and derivative contracts and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

62

We had $75 million and $150 million of securities purchased under agreement to resell at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 6 — Investment Securities in Item 1 and below for additional information on types and maturities of investment securities.

Funding Sources

We fund our operations through deposits and borrowings. Deposits totaled $42.0 billion, 90% of total funding at March 31, 2021 and $43.0 billion, 88% of total funding at December 31, 2020. Borrowings totaled $4.8 billion at March 31, 2021 and $5.8 billion at December 31, 2020, respectively. Borrowings consist of senior unsecured notes, subordinated unsecured notes and secured borrowings (primarily FHLB advances).

Unsecured borrowings decreased to 9% of total funding in the current quarter from 10% at December 31, 2020. Secured borrowings was 1% at March 31, 2021 and 2% at December 31, 2020. See further discussions below.

In the first quarter of 2021, $500 million of unsecured borrowings was scheduled to mature, which we redeemed on February 9, 2021. No premium was paid upon redemption. In addition, we paid down $500 million of FHLB debt. There are no scheduled unsecured borrowings maturities coming due until August 2022 and the FHLB advances are due in the second quarter of 2022, although our FHLB advances contain prepayment optionality allowing us to prepay the advance one year prior to maturity. As of March 31, 2021, time deposits with maturities over the coming twelve months were $6.3 billion.

See FRB discussion later in this section for further details and the Net Finance Revenue section for a tabular presentation of our average funding mix.

Deposits

CIT Bank offers a full suite of deposit offerings to its commercial and consumer customers through a national online platform, a network of approximately 80 branches, which are in top MSAs in Southern California, and include bank branches acquired with the MOB Acquisition, primarily in the Southwest, Midwest and Southeast. The period end balances are as follows:

Deposits by Channel (dollars in millions)

	March 31, 2021					December 31, 2020
	Total		Percent of Total			Total		Percent of Total
Online	$	17,628.0		42	%	$	18,864.6		44	%
Branch		11,395.4		27	%		11,461.8		26	%
Homeowners association		6,534.9		16	%		5,871.6		14	%
Commercial		4,215.4		10	%		4,445.0		10	%
Brokered / other		2,251.0		5	%		2,428.6		6	%
Total deposits	$	42,024.7		100	%	$	43,071.6		100	%

The following table details our period end deposit balances by type:

Deposits by Type (dollars in millions)

	March 31, 2021					December 31, 2020
	Total		Percent of Total			Total		Percent of Total
Savings and money market	$	26,362.5		63	%	$	26,019.1		60	%
Time deposits		8,904.5		21	%		10,420.2		24	%
Interest-bearing checking		3,421.4		8	%		3,247.6		8	%
Non-interest bearing deposits		3,336.3		8	%		3,384.7		8	%
Total deposits	$	42,024.7		100	%	$	43,071.6		100	%

The decline in the deposit balance in the first quarter of 2021 reflected our decision to reduce excess interest-bearing cash and implement strategic rate reductions. We lowered higher cost deposits, partially offset by seasonally higher balances and growth in the HOA channel. We continued to shift the mix from time deposits to non-maturity deposits.

See “Net Finance Revenue” for discussion on deposits interest expense and rates.

At the Company, the period end loans and leases to deposits ratio was 103% at March 31, 2021, compared to 104% at December 31, 2020. At the Bank, the period end loans and leases to deposits ratio was 91% at March 31, 2021, compared to 90% at December 31, 2020.

Unsecured Borrowings

Revolving Credit Facility

There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility had a total commitment amount of $300 million as of March 31, 2021, of which approximately $276 million was available to be drawn and the remainder was utilized for letters of credit.

63

Senior Unsecured Notes

At March 31, 2021, senior unsecured notes outstanding totaled $3.7 billion and the weighted average coupon rate was 4.70%, compared to $4.2 billion and 4.63% at December 31, 2020. The changes reflected the $500 million redemption in February.

Subordinated Unsecured Notes

Subordinated unsecured notes principal amount totaled $500 million as of March 31, 2021 and consisted of $100 million of 4.125% fixed-to-fixed subordinated notes due in 2029 and $400 million of 6.125% fixed rate subordinated notes due 2028, which are included in Tier 2 capital.

Secured Borrowings

We may pledge assets for secured borrowing transactions, which include borrowings from the FHLB and/or FRB, or for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The debt issued in conjunction with these transactions is collateralized by certain discrete receivables, securities, loans, leases and/or underlying equipment. Certain related cash balances are restricted.

FHLB Advances

As a member of the FHLB of San Francisco, CIT Bank N.A. can access financing based on an evaluation of its creditworthiness, statement of financial position, size and eligibility of collateral. The interest rates charged by the FHLB for advances typically vary depending upon maturity, the cost of funds of the FHLB, and the collateral provided for the borrowing. Advances are secured by certain Bank assets and bear either a fixed or floating interest rate. The FHLB advances are collateralized by a variety of consumer and commercial loans, including SFR mortgage loans, multi-family mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans and securities.

The decline in FHLB advances to $600.0 million at March 31, 2021 reflected $500 million of net repayment during the quarter. CIT Bank may borrow additional FHLB advances, as liquidity needs arise or repay advances as liquidity allows. The available capacity of $5,439.0 million includes $743.4 million to borrow against $775.1 million of pledged HQL securities, which have not been borrowed against at March 31, 2021 and remain available for sale. FHLB advances and pledged assets are also discussed in Note 8 — Borrowings.

Other Secured and Structured Financings

Outstanding other secured and structured financings were not significant and totaled $7.6 million at March 31, 2021, and $6.1 million at December 31, 2020. The total borrowing capacity of the ABL facility was $750 million, with net availability based on eligible collateral. There were $28 million of LCs outstanding and no borrowings at March 31, 2021. The facility expires in December 2021.

FRB

The Company has a borrowing facility with the FRB Discount Window that can be used for short-term, typically overnight borrowings. Effective March 16, 2020, the FRB announced changes to the FRB Discount Window, including the extension of the term of such borrowings up to 90 days. The borrowing capacity is determined by the FRB based on the collateral pledged. There were no outstanding borrowings with the FRB Discount Window as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. See Note 8 — Borrowings in Item 1 for total balances pledged, including amounts to the FRB.

Debt Ratings

Debt ratings can influence the cost and availability of short- and long-term funding, the terms and conditions on which such funding may be available, the collateral requirements, if any, for borrowings and certain derivative instruments, the acceptability of our letters of credit, and the number of investors and counterparties willing to lend to the Company.

CIT Group Inc. and CIT Bank, N.A. debt ratings, as rated by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”), Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and DBRS Inc. (“DBRS”) are presented in the following table:

N/A — Not Applicable

Rating agencies indicate that they base their ratings on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business mix, level and quality of earnings, and the current operating, legislative and regulatory environment, including implied government support. Potential changes in the factors noted above, rating methodology as well as

64

in the legislative and regulatory environment and the timing of those changes could negatively impact the Company’s ratings, which could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and financial condition.

A debt rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and the ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Contractual Commitments

The following table summarizes commitment expiration during the respective twelve-month periods.

Commitment Expiration for the Twelve Months Ending March 31 (dollars in millions)

	Total		2021		2022		2023		2024		2025+
Financing commitments (excluding leases)	$	7,347.7	$	2,773.0	$	1,171.5	$	1,586.3	$	1,018.0	$	798.9

At March 31, 2021, substantially all of our undrawn financing commitments were senior facilities, with approximately 95% secured by commercial equipment or other assets, and the remainder primarily comprised of cash flow or enterprise value facilities. Most of our undrawn and available financing commitments are in the Commercial Finance and Real Estate Finance divisions of Commercial Banking and include unused revolver availability of $3.1 billion, which is subject to borrower base revolver capacity and covenant compliance. Also included in financing commitments are delayed draws and term loans of $2.2 billion. Customer draws on such facilities are subject to certain pre-determined contract conditions. The top ten undrawn financing commitments totaled $700.1 million at March 31, 2021. Financing commitments related to consumer loans totaled approximately $574.7 million. See Note 13 – Commitments in Item 1 for further detail.

CAPITAL

Capital Management  

The Company’s capital management is discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 1. Business Overview - Regulation, subsections “Capital Requirements” and “Regulatory Expectations for Capital Planning.”

The Company maintains a comprehensive capital adequacy process. The Company establishes internal capital risk limits and warning thresholds, which utilize Risk-Based and Leverage-Based Capital calculations, internal and external early warning indicators, its capital planning process, and stress testing to evaluate the Company's capital adequacy for multiple types of risk in both normal and stressed environments. The capital management framework requires management to define contingency plans, which may be employed at management’s discretion.

Return of Capital

We declared and paid the following dividends in 2021:

Declaration Date	Payment Date	Per Share Dividend
Common Stock
January 22, 2021	February 19, 2021	$	0.35
Series B Preferred Stock (dividend per share rounded)
January 22, 2021	March 15, 2021	$	0.35

On April 20, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.35 per outstanding common share. The common stock dividend is payable on May 21, 2021 to common shareholders of record as of May 7, 2021.

On April 20, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a semi-annual cash dividend in the amount of $29.00 per outstanding Series A preferred stock. The dividend is payable on June 15, 2021 to Series A preferred shareholders of record as of May 28, 2021. On April 20, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend in the amount of approximately $0.35 per outstanding Series B preferred stock. The dividend is payable on June 15, 2021 to Series B preferred shareholders of record as of May 28, 2021.

Capital Composition and Ratios

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements. We compute capital ratios in accordance with Federal Reserve and OCC capital guidelines for assessing adequacy of capital. The regulatory capital guidelines applicable to the Company and CIT Bank were the Basel III Rule and the Simplification Final Rule for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the capital ratios of the Company and CIT Bank exceeded all capital adequacy requirements.

In March 2020, the OCC, FRB and FDIC collectively issued the Revised CECL Transition Rule for regulatory capital, which provides for the option to delay for two years the impact of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. The Company elected to use the 5-year transition under the Revised CECL Transition Rule, which resulted in a benefit of

65

$144.3 million in capital as of March 31, 2021.

CET1 Capital increased from December 31, 2020, reflecting earnings for the quarter, combined with a reduction in RWA.

The reconciliation of balance sheet assets to RWA is presented below:

Risk-Weighted Assets (dollars in millions)

Off-Balance sheet items		6,120.1			6,638.5
Risk-Weighted Assets	$	50,081.4		$	51,847.0

As discussed elsewhere, the decrease in balance sheet assets reflects a decline in loans and investment securities, partially offset by an increase in cash. The risk weighting adjustments to balance sheet assets as of March 31, 2021 decreased from December 31, 2020 as a result the decline in assets, as well as mix, and lower off-balance sheet commitments.

The 2021 off-balance sheet items primarily reflect $2.9 billion of unused lines of credit (largely related to the Commercial and Real Estate Finance divisions), $1.9 billion related to DPAs (Commercial Finance division), and $0.5 billion of derivative exposures. See Note 13 — Commitments in Item 1 for further detail on commitments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, reported amounts of income and expense and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The following estimates, which are based on relevant information available at the end of each period, include inherent risks and uncertainties related to judgments and assumptions made. We consider these estimates to be critical in applying our accounting policies, due to the existence of uncertainty at the time the estimate is made, the likelihood of changes in estimates from period to period and the potential impact on the financial statements.

Management believes that the judgments and assessments utilized for the more critical accounting estimates, such as the ACL and realizability of deferred tax assets, are reasonable. We do not believe that different assumptions are more likely than those utilized, although actual events may differ from such assumptions. Consequently, our estimates could prove inaccurate, and we may be exposed to charges to earnings that could be material.

There have been no significant changes to the methodologies and processes used in developing estimates relating to these items from those described in our 2020 Form 10-K.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

The SEC has regulations that apply to any public disclosure or release of material information that includes a non-GAAP financial measure. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance or financial position that may either exclude or include amounts or is adjusted in some way to the effect of including or excluding amounts, as compared to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP financial statements. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other institutions.

The accompanying MD&A contains non-GAAP financial measures. We intend our non-GAAP financial measures to provide transparency about, or an alternate means of assessing, our operating results and financial position for our investors and analysts, on the same basis that our management analyzes such results.

Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we generally define it, or present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the U.S. GAAP financial measure and the non-GAAP financial measure. In instances when the non-GAAP balance is an aggregation of various line items from a financial statement, we present those exact line item names and balances for the user to clearly see the components. We also describe the measure and explain why we believe the measure to be useful.

1. Total Net Revenue, Net Finance Revenue, and Net Operating Lease Revenue

Total net revenue is a non-GAAP measure that represents the combination of NFR and other non-interest income and is an aggregation of all sources of revenue for the Company. The source of the data is various statement of operations line items, arranged in a different order and with different subtotals than included in the statement of operations, and therefore is considered

69

non-GAAP. Total net revenue is used by management to monitor business performance and to calculate a net efficiency ratio, as discussed below in item 2.

NFR is a non-GAAP measure that represents the level of revenue earned on our loans and leases, interest income on our investment securities and cash, plus rental income on operating lease equipment less interest expense and expenses relating to operating lease equipment. NFR is a key performance measure used by management to monitor portfolio performance. NFR is also used to calculate a performance margin, NFM.

Due to the nature of our loans and leases, which include a higher proportion of operating lease equipment than most BHCs, certain financial measures commonly used by other BHCs are not as meaningful for our Company. As such, given our asset composition includes a high level of operating lease equipment, NFM as calculated below is used by management, rather than net interest margin (“NIM”) (a common metric used by other bank holding companies), which does not fully reflect the earnings of our portfolio because it includes the impact of debt costs of all our assets but excludes the net operating lease revenue.

Net operating lease revenue is a non-GAAP measure that represents the combination of rental income on operating leases less depreciation on operating lease equipment and maintenance and other operating lease expenses. Net operating lease revenues is a measurement used by management to monitor portfolio performance and returns on its purchased equipment.

2. Operating Expenses and Net Efficiency Ratio

Operating expenses excluding restructuring costs and intangible asset amortization is a non-GAAP measure used by management to compare period over period expenses. We exclude restructuring costs and intangible amortization from operating expenses as they are charges resulting from our strategic initiatives and not our operating activity. In addition, we exclude other noteworthy items to monitor the underlying level of operating expenses and cost of generating revenue. Non-GAAP operating expenses are reconciled to GAAP in the “Non-Interest Expenses” section table.

Net efficiency ratio is another key performance metric. Net efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measurement used by management to measure the level of operating expenses (before restructuring costs and intangible amortization) to total net revenues. The base ratio is derived by dividing the operating expenses (before restructuring costs and intangible amortization) by total net revenue (see components in Item 1 above). A lower result reflects a more efficient use of our expenses to generate revenue.

We present a second net efficiency calculation that excludes other noteworthy items in the numerator and denominator due to their episodic nature and size. (Restructuring costs are considered noteworthy items.) Due to the exclusions of the items, both calculations are considered non-GAAP measures.

See “Non-Interest Expenses” for operating expenses.

3. Earning Assets, Average Earning Assets (“AEA”) and Core Loans and Leases

Earning asset balances (period end balances) displayed in the table below are directly derived from the respective line items in the balance sheet. These represent revenue generating assets, and the average (AEA) of which provides a basis for management performance calculations, such as NFM. The source of the data is various balance sheet line items, however, when aggregated, the total is considered non-GAAP. The average balances are based on daily balances.

Certain portfolios within the segments were being managed and are being either run-off or sold, such as the LCM portfolio in Consumer Banking. In order to gauge the underlying level of loans and leases, management will exclude this portfolio when comparing to prior periods. By excluding this from the total of loans, operating lease equipment and AHFS balances on the balance sheet, this metric is considered non-GAAP, and is presented only to assist the reader in understanding how management views the underlying change in earning asset levels in aggregate. The following table reflects the average balances for the respective periods.

4. Tangible Book Value, ROTCE and Tangible Book Value per Share

TBV, also referred to as tangible common equity, return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”), and TBV per share are considered key financial performance measures by management, and are used by other financial institutions. TBV, as calculated and used by management, represents CIT’s common stockholders’ equity, less goodwill and intangible assets. See the Capital section (Tangible Book Value and per Share Amounts table) for calculation of TBV per share. TBV per share is calculated by dividing TBV by the outstanding number of common shares.

ROTCE measures CIT’s profitability applicable to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. This measure is useful for evaluating the performance of CIT as it calculates the return available to common stockholders without the impact of intangible assets. The average adjusted tangible common equity is derived using averages of balances presented, based on daily balances for the period.

TBV, ROTCE and TBV per share are measurements used by management and others of CIT’s financial data in assessing CIT’s use of equity. We believe the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides additional useful information because they present measures of those assets that can generate income. In addition, we believe TBV, ROTCE and TBV per share are important measures for comparative purposes with other institutions, but are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures.

5. Net income (loss) excluding noteworthy items

Net income (loss) excluding noteworthy items are non-GAAP measures, as the measures exclude items from the respective line item in the GAAP statement of operations. The Company believes that adjusting for these items provides the user of CIT’s financial information a measure of the underlying performance of the Company. The non-GAAP noteworthy items are summarized in the following categories: significant due to the size of the transaction; transactions pertaining to items no longer considered core to CIT’s on-going operations (e.g. sales of non-strategic portfolios); and other items, such as restructuring costs or costs incurred specific to mergers and acquisitions.

• risks and uncertainties relating to our pending merger with First Citizens, including, among others,

• the risk that the cost savings, any revenue synergies and other anticipated benefits of the proposed merger may not be realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the condition of the economy and competitive factors in areas where First Citizens and CIT do business,

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CIT Group Inc. is a bank holding company ("BHC") and a financial holding company ("FHC"). CIT Group Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively "we", "our", "CIT" or the "Company"), is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB") and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY") under the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. CIT was formed in 1908 and provides financing, leasing and advisory services, principally to middle-market companies in a wide variety of industries, primarily in North America.

We also provide banking and related services to commercial and individual customers through our banking subsidiary, CIT Bank, N.A. ("CIT Bank" or the "Bank"), which includes a regional branch network of approximately 80 branches and its online bank.  

CIT Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("OCC"). In addition, CIT Bank, as an insured depository institution, is supervised by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Financial Information

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q for interim financial information and accordingly do not include all information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The financial statements in this Form 10-Q, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of CIT’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 ("2020 Form 10-K").

The accounting and financial reporting policies of CIT conform to GAAP and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Some of the more significant estimates include: Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include financial information related to CIT and its majority-owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is the primary beneficiary (“PB”), if any.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

The current period’s results of operations do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year as a whole.

Announcement of Definitive Merger Agreement

On October 16, 2020, First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("First Citizens"), the parent company of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, and CIT, the parent company of CIT Bank, N.A., jointly announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger. The merger is anticipated to close mid-2021, subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and Interagency Statement

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act gives financial institutions temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements related to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) under ASC 310-40 and past due and non-accrual reporting in certain situations relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. With respect to past due and non-accrual loans, the CARES Act provides that financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with payment accommodations granted due to COVID-19 as past due or non-accrual if they were current on the date used to determine borrower’s delinquency status for the purpose of providing the deferment.

Additionally, on April 7, 2020, a group of federal and state government banking agencies issued an Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) (the “Interagency Statement”) that offers some practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. The Interagency Statement interprets, but does not suspend, ASC 310-40, as any loan

modification that meets either of these practical expedients would not automatically be considered a TDR because the borrower is presumed not to be experiencing financial difficulty at the time of the loan modification.

CIT applies the TDR provisions of the CARES Act on a product-type basis, or on a loan-by-loan basis, for eligible loan modifications. For eligible loans for which the CARES Act is not applied, CIT follows the applicable guidance of the Interagency Statement. For payment deferrals granted to borrowers impacted by COVID-19, CIT has elected to continue to recognize interest income (at a modified effective rate) subject to consideration of whether the loan should be placed on non-accrual status. In addition, CIT monitors deferred amounts and establishes a credit loss reserve for the estimated amount of any balances that will not be recovered for COVID-19 loans.

After the initial payment deferral period granted due to COVID-19, on a case by case basis where requested, borrowers may be offered an additional deferral of up to 90 days pursuant to the CARES Act or Interagency Statement guidance outlined above. After the deferral period, amounts deferred must be repaid based on modified terms, including adding the unpaid amounts to the end of the contract term, spread throughout the remaining term, or other arrangements made on a case by case basis.

Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

On April 10, 2020, the FASB Staff issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Concessions Q&A”) on Topic 842: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Lease Concessions Q&A provides that entities may elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842, Leases, for lease concessions provided by lessors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. CIT has elected not to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 for such lease concessions as permitted by the Lease Concessions Q&A. We account for these lease concessions prospectively recognizing income on a straight-line basis for operating leases and a modified effective rate for finance leases.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies are included in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021.  

Financial Accounting Standards Adopted as of January 1, 2021

The following pronouncements were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and adopted by CIT as of January 1, 2021. Refer to Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2020 Form 10-K for a detailed description of these pronouncements:  

• ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CIT’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

• ASU 2020-09, Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CIT’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

• ASU 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on CIT’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following accounting pronouncements were issued by the FASB but are not yet effective for CIT.

Standard	Summary of Guidance	Effect on CIT's Financial Statements
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and subsequent related ASUs Issued March 2020 with Updates through January 2021	•The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. •The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. •For contract modifications, the amendments provide the optional relief of accounting for the modification as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis. In addition, companies can consider embedded features to be clearly and closely related to the host contract without reassessment. •For hedge accounting, entities can continue hedge accounting when certain critical terms of a hedging relationship change. Moreover, companies can perform some effectiveness assessments in ways that disregard certain potential sources of ineffectiveness. •Entities may make a one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity (“HTM”), that both reference an eligible reference rate and were classified as HTM before January 1, 2020. This one-time election may be made at any time after March 12, 2020 but no later than December 31, 2022. •The ASU applies prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships. •ASU 2021-01 clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this update on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final update, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued.	•Entities can apply the amendments in this update as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 (January 1, 2020 for calendar year-end companies) or any date thereafter. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). •CIT is currently evaluating the optional expedients and exceptions provided by this ASU, the timing of the election of the standard, and its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures. •In the fourth quarter of 2020, CIT elected to apply the contract modification relief to the interest rate swap contracts for which the discount rate changed from the Federal Funds Rates to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) due to discounting transition by the Central Counterparties (i.e., Chicago Mercantile Exchange and LCH Clearnet). In addition, CIT elected to apply the hedge accounting relief to the hedging interest rate swaps, which allows the Company to not consider a change in the interest rate used for the discounting of a derivative hedging instrument as a change to the critical terms of the hedging relationship. •The Company will continue to assess the impact as the reference rate transition occurs through December 31, 2022. •The HTM one-time election was not applicable to CIT as the Company did not have any HTM debt securities as of January 1, 2020.

ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity Issued August 2020 •The amendments in this update reduce the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, amend diluted earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments, amend the requirements for a contract (or embedded derivative) that is potentially settled in an entity’s own shares to be classified in equity, and expand disclosure requirements for convertible instruments. •Effective for CIT as of January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. •This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on CIT’s consolidated statements and disclosures as the Company currently does not have any convertible instrument within the scope of this ASU.

Certain of the following tables present credit-related information at the “class” level. A class is generally a disaggregation of a portfolio segment. In determining the classes, CIT considered the loan characteristics and methods it applies in monitoring and assessing credit risk and performance.

Credit Quality Indicators

Management monitors credit quality of commercial loans and financing leases based upon risk rating classifications consistent with bank regulatory guidance and consumer loans based upon FICO scores and loan-to-value ratios (“LTV”).

The definitions of the commercial loan ratings are as follows:

• Pass — loans in this category do not meet the criteria for classification in one of the categories below.

• Special mention — loans in this category exhibit potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of a loan’s repayment prospects.

• Classified — loans in this category range from: (1) loans that exhibit a well-defined weakness and are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, and are characterized by the distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected to (2) loans with weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full unlikely on the basis of current facts, conditions, and values. Classified loans can accrue interest or be placed on non-accrual depending on the Company’s evaluation of these factors.

Commercial criticized loans include loans with a rating of special mention or classified.

For consumer loans, we monitor credit quality utilizing the borrower FICO scores to evaluate borrowers’ credit payment history and current LTV of the underlying collateral to assess potential loss severity in the event of default. A loan to a borrower with a low FICO score (less than 660) is considered to be of higher risk than a loan to a borrower with a higher FICO score. The Company examines LTV migration and stratifies LTV into categories to monitor risk in the loan classes. The Company periodically updates the property values of real estate collateral (for home equity and residential mortgages) to calculate current LTV ratios, adjusted based on the Case-Shiller Home Price Indices. Further, a loan to a borrower with a high LTV ratio and a low FICO score is at greater risk of default than a loan to a borrower that has both a high LTV ratio and a high FICO score.

The following table summarizes commercial loans disaggregated by year of origination and by risk rating. The consumer loan LTV ratios and FICO scores by year of origination are also presented below. The tables reflect the amortized cost basis of the loans. Accrued interest receivable (within other assets) is reported separately from the loan’s amortized cost basis.

Past Due and Non-accrual Loans

Additional information on reporting of past due and non-accrual loans is provided in the discussion of the CARES Act and Interagency Statement in Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Related to loan modifications made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the loan maintains the borrower’s delinquency status that existed prior to entering the payment deferral period and is frozen for the duration of the payment deferral period as no contractual payments are due.

The table that follows presents portfolio delinquency status, regardless of accrual or non-accrual classification:

⁽¹⁾ The “Current” balance at March 31, 2021 includes $300 million of loans with active COVID-19 related payment deferment (comprised of $233 million Commercial Banking and $67 million Consumer Banking loans) that are not classified as past due given no contractual payment is due during the deferment period.  In addition, total loans with active COVID-19 related deferment of approximately $3 million, $2 million, and $25 million are in the 30-59,60-89, and 90 or more past due balances, respectively. The “Current” balance at December 31, 2020 includes $459 million of loans with active COVID-19 related payment deferment (comprised of $347 million Commercial Banking and $112 million Consumer Banking loans) that are not classified as past due given no contractual payment is due during the deferment period.  In addition, total loans with active COVID-19 related deferment of approximately $49 million, $3 million, and $26 million are in the 30-59,60-89, and 90 or more past due balances, respectively.

The following table sets forth non-accrual loans, assets received in satisfaction of loans (OREO and repossessed assets) and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing. Loans that are 90 or more days past due that are guaranteed by government agencies are not placed on non-accrual status.

⁽¹⁾ Accrued interest that was reversed when the loan went to non-accrual status was $1.3 million and $6.2 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

⁽²⁾ Includes loans that have been charged-off to their net realizable value and loans where the collateral or enterprise value exceeds the expected pay off value.

⁽³⁾ Factored receivables within our Commercial Finance division do not accrue interest and therefore are not considered within non-accrual loan balances; however factored receivables are considered for credit provisioning purposes. Loans that are 90 or more days past due guaranteed by government agencies are not placed on non-accrual status.

⁽⁴⁾ Balances consist mostly of single-family residential OREO.

⁽⁵⁾ Balance as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 includes $26 million and $65 million, respectively, of loans that have or had COVID-19 related deferments (i.e. active deferment or exited).  

Payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied first against outstanding principal, though in certain instances where the remaining recorded investment is deemed fully collectible, interest income is recognized on a cash basis. Interest recorded on non-accrual loans was $0.8 million and $2.2 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Loans are in the process of foreclosure when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the underlying real estate and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The table below summarizes the residential mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure. Consistent with the government agency guidance, CIT has suspended residential property foreclosures and evictions until at least June 30, 2021 to single family homeowners due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

The Company periodically modifies the terms of loans in response to borrowers’ difficulties. Modifications that include a financial concession to the borrower are accounted for as TDRs. A restructuring of a debt constitutes a TDR for purposes of ASC 310-40 when CIT, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. A concession may be either by agreement between CIT and the debtor or imposed by law or a court of law. See Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K for discussion of policies on TDRs.

The CARES Act and Interagency Statement offer some practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. See Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for details. Any loan modification that meets these practical expedients would not automatically be considered a TDR because the borrower is presumed not to be experiencing financial difficulty at the time of the loan modification.

Modified loans that meet the definition of a TDR are subject to the Company's individually reviewed loans policy.

The following table presents recorded investment of TDRs, excluding those within a trial modification period of $1.6 million at March 31, 2021 and $4.5 million at December 31, 2020:

Recorded investment at the time of default of TDRs that experienced a payment default (payment default is one missed payment) during the quarters and for which the payment default occurred within one year of the modification	$	6.7	$	0.7

There were $9.2 million and $28.3 million of commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Modifications qualifying as TDRs based upon recorded investment at March 31, 2021, were comprised of payment deferrals (52%) and covenant relief and/or other (48%). At December 31, 2020, TDR recorded investment was comprised of payment deferrals (40%) and covenant relief and/or other (60%). The financial impact of the various modification strategies that the Company employs in response to borrower difficulties is presented below. The overall nature of modification programs were comparable in the prior periods.

▪ Payment deferrals result in lower net present value of cash flows, if not accompanied by additional interest or fees, and increased provision for credit losses to the extent applicable. The financial impact of these modifications is not significant given the moderate length of deferral periods.

▪ Interest rate reductions result in lower amounts of interest being charged to the customer but are a relatively small part of the Company’s restructuring programs. The weighted average change in interest rates for all TDRs occurring during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were not significant.

▪ Debt forgiveness, or the reduction in amount owed by borrower, results in incremental provision for credit losses, in the form of higher charge-offs. While these types of modifications have the greatest individual impact on the allowance, the amounts of principal forgiveness for TDRs occurring during quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was not significant, as debt forgiveness is a relatively small component of the Company’s modification programs.

The other elements of the Company’s modification programs that are not TDRs do not have a significant impact on financial results given their relative size or do not have a direct financial impact, as in the case of covenant changes.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

NOTE 4 — ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The ACL and the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the allowance for credit losses and in other liabilities, respectively. Provision for credit losses related to the loans and leases portfolio and the off-balance sheet credit exposures are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as provision for credit losses.

⁽¹⁾ CECL adoption was before the MOB Acquisition.

⁽²⁾ Included in the provision for credit losses was $(9.7) million and $75.1 million for the quarters ended March 31,2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, related to the provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures, which is not part of the ACL and is offset in the “Other” line.

⁽³⁾ In connection with the MOB Acquisition, the initial ACL recognized on PCD assets was $58.8 million, of which $38.6 million was charged-off for loans that had been written-off prior to acquisition (whether full or partial) or which met CIT’s charge-off policy at the time of acquisition. After considering loans that were immediately charged-off upon acquisition, the net impact was $20.2 million of additional PCD reserves on January 1, 2020.

⁽⁴⁾ “Other” primarily includes provision changes related to off balance sheet credit exposures, which represents credit cost related to off-balance sheet credit exposures, deferred purchase agreements (“DPA’s”), and letters of credit. The allowance related to this exposure is included in other liabilities.

The ACL was $942.3 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $1,063.8 million at December 31, 2020. The lower ACL balance resulted in a benefit for credit losses of $117.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to a provision of $513.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in the ACL and the provision compared to the prior year periods reflects lower loan balances and an ACL release largely due to the improvement in the macroeconomic scenario forecasts and credit loss trends. The year-ago ACL and provision reflected an initial estimated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the expected impact on the market environment across our portfolio, along with the adoption of the CECL standard and the impact of the MOB Acquisition on January 1, 2020.

The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures decreased from $78.3 million at December 31, 2020 to $68.6 million at March 31, 2021, primarily due to improvement in the macroeconomic forecast compared to the prior quarter.

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

NOTE 5 — LEASES

Lessee

CIT leases primarily include office space and bank branches; and substantially all of our lease liabilities relate to United States real estate leases under operating lease arrangements. Our lessee finance leases are not significant. Our real estate leases have remaining lease terms of up to 14 years. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The options are included in the lease term when it is determined that it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised.  

The following tables present supplemental balance sheet and cash flow information related to operating leases. Right of use (“ROU”) assets are included in other assets and lease liabilities are included in other liabilities.

The Company leases equipment to commercial end-users under operating lease and finance lease arrangements. The majority of operating lease equipment is long-lived rail equipment which is typically leased several times over the equipment’s life. We also lease technology and office equipment and large and small industrial, medical, and transportation equipment under both operating leases and finance leases.  

Our Rail operating leases typically do not include purchase options. Many of our finance leases, and other equipment operating leases, offer the lessee the option to purchase the equipment at fair market value or for a nominal fixed purchase option; and many of the leases that do not have a nominal purchase option include renewal provisions resulting in some leases continuing beyond initial contractual term. Our leases typically do not include early termination options; and continued rent payments are due if leased equipment is not returned at the end of the lease.

The table that follows presents lease income related to the Company’s operating and finance leases:

Described below are the results of the Company’s assessment of its variable interests in order to determine its current status with regard to being the VIE primary beneficiary (“PB”). See Note 1 — Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2020 Form 10-K for additional information on accounting for VIEs.

Consolidated VIEs

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no consolidated VIEs.

Unconsolidated VIEs

Unconsolidated VIEs include agency and non-agency securitization structures, limited partnership interests and joint ventures where the Company’s involvement is limited to an investor interest and the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance or obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. 

The table below presents potential losses that would be incurred under hypothetical circumstances, such that the value of its interests and any associated collateral declines to zero and assuming no recovery or offset from any economic hedges. The Company believes the possibility is remote under this hypothetical scenario; accordingly, this required disclosure is not an indication of expected loss.

⁽¹⁾ Fair value balances include accrued interest.

⁽²⁾ Other derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments include risk participation agreements.

⁽³⁾ The Company accounts for swap contracts cleared by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and LCH Clearnet as “settled-to-market”. As a result, variation margin payments are characterized as settlement of the derivative exposure and variation margin balances are netted against the corresponding derivative mark-to-market balances. Gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities were lowered by $65.9 million and $205.7 million, respectively at March 31, 2021 and $20.5 million and $339.9 million, respectively at December 31, 2020.

⁽⁴⁾ The Company’s derivative transactions are governed by ISDA agreements that allow for net settlements of certain payments as well as offsetting of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event of bankruptcy or default of one of the two parties to the transaction. We believe our ISDA agreements meet the definition of a master netting arrangement or similar agreement for purposes of the above disclosure.

⁽⁵⁾ In conjunction with the ISDA agreements described above, the Company has entered into collateral arrangements with its counterparties, which provide for the exchange of cash depending on change in the market valuation of the derivative contracts outstanding. Such collateral is available to be applied in settlement of the net balances upon an event of default of one of the counterparties. Collateral pledged or received is included in other assets or other liabilities, respectively.

Qualifying Hedges

CIT enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on its fixed-rate borrowings. The agreements that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as fair value hedges.

Fair Value

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. See Note 1 — Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K for a description of its valuation process for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy.

⁽¹⁾ Derivative fair values include accrued interest.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Debt securities AFS — Investments in U.S. government agency and sponsored agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government agency and sponsored agency obligations, U.S. Treasury securities and supranational securities were valued using Level 2 inputs. The market for certain corporate bonds is not active, therefore the estimated fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow technique or other appropriate techniques. Given the lack of observable market data, the estimated fair value of the corporate bonds was classified as Level 3.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — Derivatives were valued using models that incorporate inputs depending on the type of derivative. Besides the fair value of credit derivatives, which were estimated using Level 3 inputs, most derivative instruments were valued using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. See Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments for notional principal amounts and fair values.

The following tables summarize information about significant unobservable inputs related to the Company’s categories of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis.

Assets Measured at Estimated Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

Certain assets or liabilities are required to be measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition. Generally, these adjustments are the result of LOCOM or other impairment accounting.

The following table presents carrying value of assets measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis for which gains and losses from a non-recurring fair value adjustment have been recorded in the periods.

ROU assets		4.4		—		—		4.4		(6.1	)
Total	$	816.7	$	—	$	—	$	816.7	$	(178.9	)

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are as follows:

Assets Held for Sale — The fair value of Level 2 assets was primarily estimated based on the prices of recent trades of similar

assets. The fair value of Level 3 assets was primarily valued under the income approach using the discounted cash flow model based on level 3 inputs including discount rate.

Loans — Loans that are collateral-dependent were measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to

sell. These loans are classified as Level 3 as the fair value of underlying collateral is estimated primarily based on third party

appraisals or opinions adjusted for the Company’s experience with liquidation value.

Mortgage Servicing Rights — Under the amortization method, the carrying value of the MSRs was reduced to its fair value for

the impairment loss recognized. The fair value of the MSRs was valued under the income approach using the discounted cash

flow model based on level 3 inputs including prepayment speed, discount rates and cost to service.

ROU Assets — During 2020, the Company recognized an impairment loss on ROU assets for certain leased facilities. The fair

value of ROU assets was measured based on the discounted cash flows of estimated rental income for the office space to be

subleased, using market participant assumptions. As unobservable inputs are used, ROU assets are classified as Level 3. See

Note 5 – Leases in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K for details.

⁽¹⁾ Carrying value of loans (excluding leases) is net of the ACL.

⁽²⁾ Non-marketable securities carried at cost. See Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis in this note above for debt securities AFS and securities carried at fair value with changes recorded in net income.  

⁽³⁾ Deposits and borrowings include accrued interest, which is included in Other liabilities.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

Loans — Loans are generally valued by discounting expected cash flows using market inputs with adjustments based on cohort level assumptions for certain loan types as well as internally developed estimates at a business segment level. Due to the significance of the unobservable market inputs and assumptions, as well as the absence of a liquid secondary market for most loans, these loans are classified as Level 3. Certain loans are measured based on observable market prices sourced from external data providers and classified as Level 2. Nonaccrual loans are written down and reported at their estimated recovery value which approximates their fair value and classified as Level 3.

Securities Purchased Under Agreement to Resell — The fair value of securities purchased under agreement to resell (reverse repo) was determined using a discount cash flow technique. Interest rates appropriate to the maturity and underlying collateral are used for discounting the estimated cash flows. As observable market interest rates are used, the fair value of securities purchased under agreement to resell was classified as Level 2.

Investment Securities –non-marketable — Utilize Level 3 inputs to estimate fair value and were generally recorded under the measurement alternative. FHLB and FRB stock carrying values approximate fair value. Of the remaining non-marketable securities, the fair value is determined based on techniques that use significant assumptions that are not observable in the market.

Deposits — The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposit accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts was the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits was estimated based on a discounted cash flow technique using Level 3 inputs appropriate to the contractual maturity.

Borrowings

The Level 2 fair value of borrowings included:

▪ Unsecured debt — consists of both senior debt and subordinated debt. Unsecured debt was valued using observable market prices of identical instruments.

▪ Secured borrowings — consists of FHLB advances. The estimated fair value of FHLB advances was based on a discounted cash flow technique. The cash flows were calculated using the contractual features of the advance and then discounted using observable market interest rates.

The Level 3 fair value of borrowings included:

▪ Secured borrowings — consists of structured financings and other secured borrowings. The fair value of structured financings was estimated based on a discounted cash flow technique using observable market interest rates adjusted for estimated spreads. The fair value of other secured borrowings was estimated based on unobservable inputs.

Credit balances of factoring clients — The impact of the time value of money from the unobservable discount rate for credit balances of factoring clients is inconsequential due to the short term nature of these balances, therefore, the carrying value approximated fair value, and the credit balances were classified as Level 3.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 12 — INCOME TAXES

The Company’s global effective income tax rate was 24.1% and 10.4% for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 24.1% rate is primarily due to the impact of higher pre-tax book income on permanent adjustments, the release of reserves relating to uncertain tax benefits due to the statute of limitation expiring in a foreign jurisdiction and the completion of a tax audit examination.    

The quarterly income tax expense is based on a projection of the Company’s annual effective tax rate. This annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date consolidated pre-tax income to determine the interim provision for income taxes before discrete items. The effective tax rate each period is also impacted by a number of factors, including the relative mix of domestic and international earnings, effects of changes in enacted tax laws, adjustments to the valuation allowances, and discrete items. The currently forecasted effective tax rate may vary from the actual year-end 2021 effective tax rate due to the changes in these factors.

Uncertain Tax Benefits

The Company recognizes tax benefits when it is more likely than not that the position will prevail, based solely on the technical merits under the tax law of the relevant jurisdiction. The Company recognizes the tax benefit if the position meets this recognition threshold determined based on the largest amount of the benefit that is more than likely to be realized.

⁽¹⁾ CIT’s purchase and funding commitments relate to the equipment leasing businesses’ commitments to fund finance leases and operating leases, and Rail’s railcar manufacturer purchase commitments.

Financing Commitments

Financing commitments, referred to as loan commitments or lines of credit, primarily reflect CIT’s agreements to lend to its customers, subject to the customers’ compliance with contractual obligations. At March 31, 2021, substantially all undrawn financing commitments were senior facilities. Most of the Company’s undrawn and available financing commitments are in the Commercial Banking segment.

As financing commitments may not be fully drawn, may expire unused, may be reduced or canceled at the customer’s request, and may require the customer to be in compliance with certain conditions, total commitment amounts do not necessarily reflect actual future cash flow requirements.

The table above excludes uncommitted revolving credit facilities extended by Commercial Finance to its clients for working capital purposes. In connection with these facilities, Commercial Finance has the sole discretion throughout the duration of these facilities to determine the amount of credit that may be made available to its clients at any time and whether to honor any specific advance requests made by its clients under these credit facilities.

Letters of Credit

In the normal course of meeting the needs of clients, CIT sometimes enters into agreements to provide financing and letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are issued by CIT to guarantee payment to the beneficiary if a client on whose behalf the letter of credit was issued does not meet its obligation. These financial instruments generate fees and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. To minimize potential credit risk, CIT generally requires collateral, and, in some cases, additional forms of credit support from the client.

Deferred Purchase Agreements

A DPA is a guarantee provided in conjunction with factoring, whereby CIT provides a client with credit protection for trade receivables without purchasing the receivables. The trade receivables terms generally require payment in 90 days or less. If the client’s customer is unable to pay an undisputed receivable solely as the result of credit risk, CIT is then required to purchase the receivable from the client, less any borrowings for such client. The outstanding amount in the table above, less $96.8 million and $157.9 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, of borrowings for such clients, is the maximum amount that CIT would be required to pay under all DPAs. This maximum amount would only occur if all receivables subject to DPAs default in the manner described above, thereby requiring CIT to purchase all such receivables from the DPA clients.

The table above includes $1,743.0 million and $1,881.9 million of DPA credit protection at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to receivables which have been presented to us for credit protection after shipment of goods has occurred and the customer has been invoiced. The table also includes $151.0 million and $47.5 million available under DPA credit line agreements provided at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The DPA credit line agreements specify a contractually committed amount of DPA credit protection and are cancellable by us only after a notice period. The notice period is typically 90 days or less.

Loss Contingency [Abstract]

CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 14 — CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and other Contingencies

CIT is involved, and from time to time in the future may be involved, in a number of pending and threatened judicial, regulatory, and arbitration proceedings as well as proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies. These matters arise in connection with the conduct of CIT’s business. At any given time, CIT may also be in the process of responding to subpoenas, requests for documents, data and testimony relating to such matters and engaging in discussions to resolve the matters (all of the foregoing collectively being referred to as “Litigation”). While most Litigation relates to individual claims, CIT is also subject to putative class action claims and similar broader claims and indemnification obligations.

In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of Litigation matters and indemnification obligations, particularly when such matters are in their early stages or where the claimants seek indeterminate damages, CIT cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of the pending Litigation will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines, or penalties related to each pending matter will be, if any. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, CIT establishes reserves for Litigation when those matters present loss contingencies as to which it is both probable that a loss will occur and the amount of such loss can reasonably be estimated. Based on currently available information, CIT believes that the outcome of Litigation that is currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, but may be material to the Company’s operating results or cash flows for any particular period, depending in part on its operating results for that period. The actual results of resolving such matters may be substantially higher than the amounts reserved.

For certain Litigation matters in which the Company is involved, the Company is able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses in excess of established reserves and insurance. For other matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible, such an estimate cannot be determined. For Litigation and other matters where losses are reasonably possible, management currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses as up to $20 million in excess of any established reserves and any insurance we reasonably believe we will collect related to those matters. This estimate represents reasonably possible losses (in excess of established reserves and insurance) over the life of such Litigation, which may span a currently indeterminable number of years, and is based on information currently available as of March 31, 2021. The Litigation matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate.

Those Litigation matters for which an estimate is not reasonably possible or as to which a loss does not appear to be reasonably possible, based on current information, are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure.

The foregoing statements about CIT’s Litigation are based on the Company’s judgments, assumptions, and estimates and are necessarily subjective and uncertain. The Company has several hundred threatened and pending judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings at various stages.

On October 21, 2016, CIT and CIT Bank were named as defendants in an existing lawsuit brought as a qui tam (i.e., whistleblower) action by a former OneWest employee on behalf of the U.S. government. The lawsuit asserts claims related to OneWest’s participation in the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) administered by the United States Treasury Department, as well as Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and Veterans Administration (“VA”) insurance programs. On October 15, 2019, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that, beginning in 2009, CIT (and its predecessor, OneWest) falsely certified its compliance with HAMP, submitted false claims for incentive payments for loan modifications, submitted false claims for FHA and VA insurance payments, and failed to self-report these violations. Plaintiff seeks the return of all U.S. government payments to CIT under the HAMP, FHA or VA programs. CIT has received approximately $93 million in servicer incentives under HAMP, and the government has paid more than $400 million in the aggregate in borrower, servicer, and investor incentives in connection with loans modified by OneWest or CIT under HAMP. The Department of Justice has declined to intervene in this case. The case is now in discovery. On February 12, 2021, CIT filed a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, which is still pending. An amended scheduling order was entered on February 25, 2021, which sets a final pre-trial conference for December 2, 2021. CIT is defending this litigation vigorously and believes that it has meritorious defenses.

Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Financial Information

Basis of Financial Information

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q for interim financial information and accordingly do not include all information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The financial statements in this Form 10-Q, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of CIT’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 ("2020 Form 10-K").

The accounting and financial reporting policies of CIT conform to GAAP and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Some of the more significant estimates include: Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include financial information related to CIT and its majority-owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is the primary beneficiary (“PB”), if any.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

The current period’s results of operations do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year as a whole.

Announcement of Definitive Merger Agreement

Announcement of Definitive Merger Agreement

On October 16, 2020, First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("First Citizens"), the parent company of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, and CIT, the parent company of CIT Bank, N.A., jointly announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger. The merger is anticipated to close mid-2021, subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) and Interagency Statement

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and Interagency Statement

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act gives financial institutions temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements related to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) under ASC 310-40 and past due and non-accrual reporting in certain situations relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. With respect to past due and non-accrual loans, the CARES Act provides that financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with payment accommodations granted due to COVID-19 as past due or non-accrual if they were current on the date used to determine borrower’s delinquency status for the purpose of providing the deferment.

Additionally, on April 7, 2020, a group of federal and state government banking agencies issued an Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) (the “Interagency Statement”) that offers some practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. The Interagency Statement interprets, but does not suspend, ASC 310-40, as any loan

modification that meets either of these practical expedients would not automatically be considered a TDR because the borrower is presumed not to be experiencing financial difficulty at the time of the loan modification.

CIT applies the TDR provisions of the CARES Act on a product-type basis, or on a loan-by-loan basis, for eligible loan modifications. For eligible loans for which the CARES Act is not applied, CIT follows the applicable guidance of the Interagency Statement. For payment deferrals granted to borrowers impacted by COVID-19, CIT has elected to continue to recognize interest income (at a modified effective rate) subject to consideration of whether the loan should be placed on non-accrual status. In addition, CIT monitors deferred amounts and establishes a credit loss reserve for the estimated amount of any balances that will not be recovered for COVID-19 loans.

After the initial payment deferral period granted due to COVID-19, on a case by case basis where requested, borrowers may be offered an additional deferral of up to 90 days pursuant to the CARES Act or Interagency Statement guidance outlined above. After the deferral period, amounts deferred must be repaid based on modified terms, including adding the unpaid amounts to the end of the contract term, spread throughout the remaining term, or other arrangements made on a case by case basis.

Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

On April 10, 2020, the FASB Staff issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Concessions Q&A”) on Topic 842: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Lease Concessions Q&A provides that entities may elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842, Leases, for lease concessions provided by lessors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. CIT has elected not to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 for such lease concessions as permitted by the Lease Concessions Q&A. We account for these lease concessions prospectively recognizing income on a straight-line basis for operating leases and a modified effective rate for finance leases.

Financial Accounting Standards Adopted as of January 1, 2021

Financial Accounting Standards Adopted as of January 1, 2021

The following pronouncements were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and adopted by CIT as of January 1, 2021. Refer to Note 1 – Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2020 Form 10-K for a detailed description of these pronouncements:  

• ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CIT’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

• ASU 2020-09, Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on CIT’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

• ASU 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on CIT’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following accounting pronouncements were issued by the FASB but are not yet effective for CIT.

Standard	Summary of Guidance	Effect on CIT's Financial Statements
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and subsequent related ASUs Issued March 2020 with Updates through January 2021	•The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. •The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. •For contract modifications, the amendments provide the optional relief of accounting for the modification as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis. In addition, companies can consider embedded features to be clearly and closely related to the host contract without reassessment. •For hedge accounting, entities can continue hedge accounting when certain critical terms of a hedging relationship change. Moreover, companies can perform some effectiveness assessments in ways that disregard certain potential sources of ineffectiveness. •Entities may make a one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity (“HTM”), that both reference an eligible reference rate and were classified as HTM before January 1, 2020. This one-time election may be made at any time after March 12, 2020 but no later than December 31, 2022. •The ASU applies prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships. •ASU 2021-01 clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this update on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final update, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued.	•Entities can apply the amendments in this update as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 (January 1, 2020 for calendar year-end companies) or any date thereafter. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). •CIT is currently evaluating the optional expedients and exceptions provided by this ASU, the timing of the election of the standard, and its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures. •In the fourth quarter of 2020, CIT elected to apply the contract modification relief to the interest rate swap contracts for which the discount rate changed from the Federal Funds Rates to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) due to discounting transition by the Central Counterparties (i.e., Chicago Mercantile Exchange and LCH Clearnet). In addition, CIT elected to apply the hedge accounting relief to the hedging interest rate swaps, which allows the Company to not consider a change in the interest rate used for the discounting of a derivative hedging instrument as a change to the critical terms of the hedging relationship. •The Company will continue to assess the impact as the reference rate transition occurs through December 31, 2022. •The HTM one-time election was not applicable to CIT as the Company did not have any HTM debt securities as of January 1, 2020.

ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity Issued August 2020 •The amendments in this update reduce the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, amend diluted earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments, amend the requirements for a contract (or embedded derivative) that is potentially settled in an entity’s own shares to be classified in equity, and expand disclosure requirements for convertible instruments. •Effective for CIT as of January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. •This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on CIT’s consolidated statements and disclosures as the Company currently does not have any convertible instrument within the scope of this ASU.

⁽²⁾ Included in the provision for credit losses was $(9.7) million and $75.1 million for the quarters ended March 31,2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, related to the provision for off-balance sheet credit exposures, which is not part of the ACL and is offset in the “Other” line.

⁽³⁾ In connection with the MOB Acquisition, the initial ACL recognized on PCD assets was $58.8 million, of which $38.6 million was charged-off for loans that had been written-off prior to acquisition (whether full or partial) or which met CIT’s charge-off policy at the time of acquisition. After considering loans that were immediately charged-off upon acquisition, the net impact was $20.2 million of additional PCD reserves on January 1, 2020.

⁽⁴⁾ “Other” primarily includes provision changes related to off balance sheet credit exposures, which represents credit cost related to off-balance sheet credit exposures, deferred purchase agreements (“DPA’s”), and letters of credit. The allowance related to this exposure is included in other liabilities.

⁽¹⁾ Fair value balances include accrued interest.

⁽²⁾ Other derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments include risk participation agreements.

⁽³⁾ The Company accounts for swap contracts cleared by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and LCH Clearnet as “settled-to-market”. As a result, variation margin payments are characterized as settlement of the derivative exposure and variation margin balances are netted against the corresponding derivative mark-to-market balances. Gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities were lowered by $65.9 million and $205.7 million, respectively at March 31, 2021 and $20.5 million and $339.9 million, respectively at December 31, 2020.

⁽⁴⁾ The Company’s derivative transactions are governed by ISDA agreements that allow for net settlements of certain payments as well as offsetting of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event of bankruptcy or default of one of the two parties to the transaction. We believe our ISDA agreements meet the definition of a master netting arrangement or similar agreement for purposes of the above disclosure.

⁽⁵⁾ In conjunction with the ISDA agreements described above, the Company has entered into collateral arrangements with its counterparties, which provide for the exchange of cash depending on change in the market valuation of the derivative contracts outstanding. Such collateral is available to be applied in settlement of the net balances upon an event of default of one of the counterparties. Collateral pledged or received is included in other assets or other liabilities, respectively.
