CIT ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY AND FISCAL YEAR RESULTS

o     Net earnings of $134.7 million for the quarter - diluted EPS of $0.64
o     Net operating earnings of $157.1 million and $779.0 million for the year
o     Commercial paper program at $4.7 billion and new bank credit facilities
      completed
o     Continued improvement in leverage ratios

NEW YORK, October 29, 2002 - CIT Group Inc. (NYSE: CIT) today reported net
income of $134.7 million, $0.64 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter
ended September 30, 2002 after $22.4 million ($36.2 million pretax) of charges
related to the run-off venture capital equity investment business. These charges
reflect continued deterioration in valuations, particularly investments in
private equity funds, and consist of both realized losses and write-downs for
other than temporary declines in value.

      Current quarter net operating earnings were $157.1 million, down from
$166.7 million for the June 30, 2002 quarter, primarily reflecting lower
securitization gains from reduced securitization activity. These net operating
earnings consist of net income excluding this quarter's $36.2 million in pre-tax
venture capital charges and last quarter's reserving actions of $260.0 million
pre-tax and goodwill impairment charge of $1,999.0 million.

(1)   Current year after tax charges include a $22.4 million write-down and loss
      on venture capital investments, a $124.0 million telecommunication reserve
      and a $83.7 million Argentina reserve. Reported results for the twelve
      months ended September 30, 2001 included special charges totaling $158.0
      million after-tax, including costs relating to the Tyco acquisition.

(2)   CIT's historical consolidated results include Tyco Capital Holding, Inc.
      (TCH), a former Tyco International Ltd. affiliate that was merged into CIT
      in conjunction with CIT's July 2002 IPO. TCH had no impact on CIT
      financial results for the September 2002 quarter due to a capital
      contribution by Tyco immediately prior to the merger of TCH into CIT. TCH
      will not impact future CIT results. TCH expenses consisted primarily of
      interest expense to an affiliate of Tyco.

(3)   The data for the twelve months ended September 30, 2001 is derived from
      the quarters ended December 31, 2000, March 31, 2001 and September 30,
      2001, plus the combined three months ended June 30, 2001, which reflects
      CIT data subsequent to the purchase by Tyco on June 1, 2001.

      "CIT posted solid results in a weak economy as evidenced by a 12% return
on tangible equity. During the quarter, we made good progress toward our primary
objectives of restoring our historical funding base and generating improved
origination volumes," said Albert R. Gamper, Jr., Chairman, President and CEO.
"Although we expect the current economic weakness to continue, we are
comfortable with the quality of our balance sheet and the business we are
originating. I am confident that the broad diversity of our businesses is a
strength, especially in this environment."

Financial Highlights:

Funding and Liquidity.

      We re-launched our commercial paper program, quickly achieving
approximately $4.7 billion outstanding at attractive pricing levels. Existing
bank facilities were paid down, maintaining back-stop liquidity to fully cover
all outstanding commercial paper.

      On October 15, 2002, we made further improvements in our maturity profile
by retiring the $3.7 billion bank facility due in March 2003 and negotiated a
new $2.3 billion committed credit facility expiring in October 2003. Proceeds
from the new facility, along with other liquidity sources, were utilized to pay
down the prior facility. The Company now has aggregate committed bank facilities
of approximately $7.35 billion, with $4.73 billion currently undrawn.

      We also demonstrated successful access to the term-debt markets during the
quarter, issuing $700 million of eighteen-month floating-rate debt and $850
million in five-year fixed-rate debt. Securitized volume was approximately $1.0
billion, down from $2.7 billion in the prior quarter. We have approximately $2.0
billion of availability in our committed asset-backed facilities and $4.4
billion under shelf registrations.

Portfolio and Managed Assets.

      Total financing and leasing portfolio assets increased during the quarter
to $36.4 billion versus $35.7 billion at June 30, 2002 and were down from $40.7
billion at September 30, 2001. With the exception of the Equipment Financing and
Leasing Segment, which was essentially flat with last quarter, all business
units grew core portfolio assets from June levels. The growth was primarily in
CIT's Business Credit business unit and seasonal factoring growth within the
Commercial Services business unit. Managed assets were flat relative to last
quarter at $47.6 billion, but were down from $50.9 billion at September 30,
2001. The liquidating portfolios (owner-operator trucking, franchise,
manufactured housing, recreational vehicle and inventory finance loans) declined
to $1.46 billion from $1.73 billion at June 30, 2002. The decline in the
liquidating portfolios included sales and continued run-off.


                                       3


      Origination activities were strong in Business Credit and Specialty
Finance, where overall new business volumes increased 10.8% from the prior
quarter. Total new business volume, with and without factoring, was up 3.3% and
0.7%, respectively, from last quarter.

Net Finance and Risk Adjusted Margins.

      Net finance margin improved during the current quarter to 4.37% from 4.11%
in the prior quarter, reflecting both slightly wider margins in most business
units and our return to the commercial paper market. Risk adjusted margin (net
finance margin after provision for credit losses) was 2.92% for the quarter
ended September 30, 2002, down slightly from 2.98% for the prior quarter due to
higher credit provisioning.

Credit Quality.

      Total 60+ day delinquencies were $1.070 billion, (3.76% of finance
receivables), compared to $1.030 billion (3.69%) at June 30, 2002 and $1.104
billion (3.46%) at September 30, 2001. The increase from the prior quarter was
largely due to one transaction in the Equipment Financing and Leasing Segment,
which is collateralized by a municipal waste-to-energy project and underlying
revenue contracts. Managed 60+ day delinquencies increased to $1.539 billion
(3.78% of managed financial assets) at September 30, 2002 from $1.520 billion
(3.74%) at June 30, 2002, but are down from $1.640 billion (3.72%) at September
30, 2001.

      Charge-offs were $105.4 million (1.63% of average finance receivables),
relatively flat with last quarter, $105.6 million (1.63%), excluding liquidating
portfolio charge-offs (trucking, franchise, manufactured housing, recreational
vehicle and inventory finance), and telecommunication charge-offs covered by
last quarter's $200 million specific reserving action. Total charge-offs during
the September quarter were $141.0 million (1.99%), including $18.4 million of
telecommunication loan charge-offs, compared to $126.0 million (1.79%) during
the prior quarter. The tables that follow detail charge-offs for the current and
prior quarters by segment, both in amount and as a percentage of average finance
receivables ($ in millions).

      Non-performing assets ended the quarter at $1.140 billion, 4.01% of
finance receivables, up from $1.053 billion, 3.77%, at June 30, 2002, reflecting
the previously mentioned energy project transaction and increased non-accrual
competitive local exchange carrier ("CLEC") / telecommunication accounts, which
were considered in last quarter's reserving action. These increases were
partially mitigated by a reduction in Equipment Financing business unit
non-performing assets during the quarter. The CLEC portfolio totaled
approximately $275.2 million at September 30, 2002 (before reserves), of which
$109.9 million was on non-accrual status.

      Total reserves for credit losses were $777.8 million (2.73% of finance
receivables), compared to $808.9 million (2.90%) at June 30, 2002 and $492.9
million (1.55%) at September 30, 2001. The reserve reduction compared to June
was the direct result of $30.9 million charged to the specific
telecommunications reserve, consisting of both telecommunication loan
charge-offs ($18.4 million) and telecommunication equipment write-downs ($12.5
million). We expect the telecommunications reserve to decline as further
impairment is realized. At September 30, 2002, the reserve for credit losses
excluding the telecommunication ($169.1 million) and


                                       5


Argentine reserves ($135.0 million) was $473.7 million (1.72% of finance
receivables), versus $473.9 million (1.75%) at June 30, 2002 reflecting seasonal
growth in the factoring portfolio during the current quarter.

Other Revenue.

      For the quarter, other revenue totaled $209.0 million, down from $246.1
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 reflecting lower securitization
gains and higher venture capital losses. Securitization gains during the current
quarter totaled $29.2 million, 13.5% of pretax income, on volume of $980.0
million, compared to $57.1 million ($2.7 billion in volume) during the prior
quarter. The reduction in securitization activity from last quarter reflects our
re-entry to the commercial paper and unsecured debt markets. The previously
discussed venture capital impairment valuations and write-downs of $36.2 million
were recognized as a reduction to other revenue in the quarter. Other revenue
also reflects seasonally strong factoring commissions and improved fee and other
income in relation to last quarter.

Salaries and General Operating Expenses.

      Salaries and general operating expenses were $235.6 million for the
quarter, compared to $230.4 million reported for the June 2002 quarter. The
increase from last quarter included increased expenses associated with our
return to public ownership and the continuation of high collection and asset
disposition costs. The efficiency ratio for the quarter (salaries and general
operating expenses divided by operating margin, excluding provision for credit
losses) was 40.6% as compared to 38.3% in the prior quarter.

      Headcount declined to approximately 5,850 employees at September 30, 2002
from 5,935 as of June 30, 2002 and 6,785 at the end of the prior year. Salaries
and general operating expenses were 2.08% of average managed assets during the
quarter, versus 2.02% for the prior quarter.

Capitalization and Leverage.

      CIT further enhanced its capitalization and leverage ratios during the
quarter. The Company's ratio of tangible equity to managed assets improved to
9.93% as of September 30,


                                       6


2002, compared to 9.25% as of June 30, 2002, and 8.48% in the prior year
quarter. On July 2, 2002, the underwriters sold 200 million shares of CIT's
stock in the Company's initial public offering. The net proceeds were paid to
Tyco, the selling stockholder. On July 12, 2002, as part of the Company's IPO,
the underwriters exercised a portion of their over-allotment option to purchase
an additional 11.6 million shares of CIT stock from the Company, increasing
capital by approximately $255 million.

Comparisons with Prior Year.

      Net operating earnings before charges for the quarter of $157.1 million
declined from $226.7 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2001,
reflecting higher credit losses, due to a weaker economy, and lower interest
margins, primarily associated with the disruption to our funding base beginning
in the March 2002 quarter. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2002, net
operating earnings before charges of $779.0 million were up from $764.3 million
during the prior year, as increased fees and reduced operating expenses offset
the risk adjusted margin compression.

      Net finance margin for the current quarter, at 4.37%, was below the prior
year level of 5.01% due to the continued impact of higher funding costs and
maintaining excess cash liquidity following the disruption to our funding base.
Additionally, reflecting the higher charge-offs in the current quarter, risk
adjusted margin, at 2.92%, was below the 4.00% level for the quarter ended
September 30, 2001. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2002, risk
adjusted margin was 3.43%, versus 3.45% for the same 2001 period, excluding the
previously mentioned reserving actions in both periods.

      Charge-offs, excluding the liquidating and telecommunication portfolios
for the current quarter and twelve months and special charges in the prior year
twelve month period, were $105.4 million (1.63% of average finance receivables)
and $352.0 million (1.32%), versus $68.3 million (0.87%) and $272.4 million
(0.85%) during the September 30, 2001 quarter and twelve months then ended. This
increase was due to higher losses in the Equipment Financing portfolio, as
equipment collateral values remained soft in the current economic environment,
and higher losses in the Commercial Finance portfolio.

Note: Certain prior year balances have been conformed to current year
presentation.

(1) The 2001 balance sheet includes the activity of TCH. TCH was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of a Tyco affiliate domiciled in Bermuda. TCH's only activity has
been in connection with its capacity as the holding company for the acquisition
of CIT by Tyco. Prior to the IPO of CIT on July 8, 2002, all of the activity of
TCH was unwound via a capital contribution from Tyco. Accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements of CIT were not impacted by TCH subsequent to
June 30, 2002.

(2) Other Assets primarily include the following at September 30, 2002:
securitization assets $1.4 billion, accrued interest and receivables from
derivative counterparties $0.7 billion, investments and receivables from joint
ventures and non-consolidated subsidiaries $0.7 billion, deposits on flight
equipment $0.3 billion, equity investments $0.3 billion, $0.2 billion of
repossessed and off-lease equipment, $0.1 billion of prepaid expenses, and $0.1
billion of investments in aerospace securities. The remaining balance includes
furniture and fixtures, miscellaneous receivables and other assets.
