[CIT Logo] Exhibit 99.2 For Information: Valerie L. Gerard - Vice President - Investor Relations (973) 422-3284 or Yvette K. Rudich - Director - Corporate Communications (973) 597-2095 CIT ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER NET INCOME OF $0.65 EPS ON IMPROVED MARGINS AND CREDIT QUALITY FROM PRIOR QUARTER o Second quarter net income increases 8% over prior quarter o Risk adjusted margin improves o Credit performance strengthens o Bank lines fully repaid NEW YORK, July 24, 2003 - CIT Group Inc. (NYSE: CIT) today reported increased net income of $136.9 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.65, for the second quarter from $127.0 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.60 for the prior quarter. Return on tangible equity increased to 11.6%. "CIT delivered solid results this quarter which reflect improvement in several of our key metrics. Credit quality continues to strengthen, net finance margin and cost of funds improved, and the balance sheet is strong with solid capital and reserve levels," said Albert R. Gamper, Jr. Chairman, President and CEO. "Importantly, we fully repaid our outstanding bank lines during the quarter." "Commercial and Specialty Finance continue to make significant contributions to the overall results of the organization while all of the operating groups realized improvements within their businesses. I am very pleased with the progress CIT has made on the game plan which we established last year," concluded Gamper. 1 Financial Highlights: Portfolio and Managed Assets Total financing and leasing portfolio assets grew to $37.5 billion at June 30, 2003, up from $37.1 billion at March 31, 2003 and $35.7 billion at June 30, 2002. Growth for the quarter included a $410 million rail operating lease portfolio acquisition and new commercial aircraft deliveries in Capital Finance, as well as strong volume in Business Credit (asset based lending), and was partially offset by the approximate $130 million sale of franchise finance receivables from our liquidating portfolio in Equipment Finance. Origination volume, excluding factoring, was up 12% and 19% from last quarter and the prior year quarter. Business Credit and Capital Finance drove the improvement from last quarter. Managed assets increased slightly to $47.9 billion, up from $47.5 billion last quarter, as securitized receivables remained relatively flat at $10.4 billion. The liquidating portfolios (owner-operator trucking, franchise, manufactured housing, recreational vehicle and inventory finance loans) declined to $1.09 billion from $1.28 billion at March 31, 2003 and $1.73 billion at June 30, 2002. Managed assets were $47.7 billion at June 30, 2002. Net Finance and Risk Adjusted Margins Net finance margin, at 3.80% of average earning assets for the current quarter, increased from 3.63% during the prior quarter. The improvement primarily reflects higher yield-related fees and lower interest expense due to reduced excess liquidity and improved funding rates. Risk adjusted margin (net finance margin after provision for credit losses) increased to $238.6 million or 2.67%, from $210.7 million or 2.44% last quarter, due to the aforementioned factors and lower charge-offs. 2 Credit Quality Both owned and managed 60+ day delinquency improved for the third consecutive quarter. Total 60+ day owned delinquency declined to $926 million (3.26% of finance receivables) at June 30, 2003, from $971 million (3.39%) at March 31, 2003 and $1.030 billion (3.69%) at June 30, 2002. The improvement from the prior quarter was principally from reductions in Equipment Finance, Commercial Finance and Specialty Finance - commercial. Managed 60+ day delinquencies decreased to $1.278 billion (3.20% of managed financial assets) at June 30, 2003 from $1.361 billion (3.38%) at March 31, 2003, and $1.520 billion (3.74%) at June 30, 2002. The level of non-performing assets also declined for the third consecutive quarter. Non-performing assets were $941 million (3.31% of finance receivables), down from $1.006 billion (3.51%) at March 31, 2003 and $1.053 billion (3.77%) at June 30, 2002. The improvement from last quarter was across most business units, with the most notable declines in Specialty Finance - commercial and Business Credit. Total charge-offs during the June quarter were $108.4 million (1.51% of average finance receivables), compared to $114.3 million (1.61%) 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 addition to total amounts, charge-offs relating to the liquidating and telecommunications portfolios are also presented.

Before liquidating and telecommunication charge-offs, charge-offs were $78.5 million (1.17% of average finance receivables) for the current quarter, down from $85.3 million (1.30%) last quarter. The improvement from last quarter primarily reflects declines in the small ticket commercial portfolios in Specialty Finance, partially offset by higher charge-offs in that segment's home equity portfolio. Total reserves for credit losses were $754.9 million (2.66% of finance receivables) at June 30, 2003, compared to $757.0 million (2.64%) at March 31, 2003 and $808.9 million (2.90%) at June 30, 2002. The reserve reduction during the quarter was primarily the result of $11.7 million in telecommunication loan net charge-offs that were applied to the specific telecommunication reserve. At June 30, 2003, the reserve for credit losses, before the telecommunication ($128.1 million) and Argentine reserves ($135.0 million), was $491.8 million (1.78% of finance receivables), versus $482.2 million (1.74%) at March 31, 2003 and $473.9 million (1.75%) at June 30, 2002. Additionally, reserves related to loan impairment (as defined under SFAS 114) included in the above reserve balances totaled approximately $130 million at June 30, 2003, down from $136 million at March 31, 2003 and $207 million at June 30, 2002. The total telecommunications portfolio and the portion comprising the competitive local exchange carrier ("CLEC") exposure was $647.9 million and $224.3 million at June 30, 2003, versus $678.7 million and $238.0 million at March 31, 2003. Total telecommunication non- 4 performing accounts were $94.2 million, compared to $85.5 million last quarter, reflecting primarily increased non-accruals in the wireless portfolio. CLEC non-performing accounts were $42.6 million, down from comparative March 31, 2003 balances of $59.0 million. Total specific telecommunication reserves were $128.1 million at June 30, 2003, down from $139.8 million at March 31, 2003, reflecting current quarter net charge-offs. Other Revenue For the quarter, other revenue totaled $217.6 million, down from $235.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, reflecting lower other income mainly in the Specialty Finance segment and an increase of $7.7 million in losses (to $12.1 million) on venture capital investments. Securitization gains during the current quarter totaled $33.8 million, 14.8% of pretax income, on volume of $1,653 million, compared to $30.7 million, 14.4% of pretax income, on volume of $1,237 million during the prior quarter. Salaries and General Operating Expenses Salaries and general operating expenses were $ 227.4 million for the quarter, down from $233.6 million for the March 2003 quarter. The decrease from last quarter was primarily the result of lower repossession and collection expenses and reduced costs associated with securitization facilities. Salaries and general operating expenses were 1.99% of average managed assets during the quarter, versus 2.08% for the prior quarter. The efficiency ratio for the quarter (salaries and general operating expenses divided by operating margin, excluding provision for credit losses) was 40.8%, as compared to 42.5% in the prior quarter, reflecting lower expenses and improved margins in the current quarter. Headcount, of 5,845 at June 30, 2003, was unchanged from March 31, 2003 and down from 5,935 at June 30, 2002. Results by Business Segment Total return on average earning assets was 1.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 versus 1.47% for the prior quarter, reflecting improved performances in the Specialty Finance and Structured Finance segments, as well as the continuation of strong returns in the Commercial 5 Finance segment. Equipment Finance and Capital Finance returns were comparable to the prior quarter, reflecting dampened profitability in the construction, industrial and aerospace sectors. The details of net income and returns by segment are displayed on pages 11 and 15 of the financial tables. The following tables provide individual segment data for the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2003. ($ in millions) Specialty Finance At or for the Quarter Ended -------------------------------- June 30, 2003 March 31, 2003 ------------- -------------- Operating margin $ 204.4 $ 190.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income before provision for income tax $ 103.2 $ 85.6 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New business volume $ 2,937.3 $3,073.0 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specialty Finance operating margin included higher securitization gains and lower charge-offs in the small ticket commercial businesses, in part offset by higher charge-offs in the home equity portfolio. New business volume, while down slightly from the prior quarter, was strong in relation to the prior year for virtually all business lines and included strong home equity volume. Equipment Finance At or for the Quarter Ended ------------------------------ June 30, 2003 March 31, 2003 ------------- -------------- Operating margin $ 35.8 $ 40.2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income before provision for income tax $ 13.0 $ 17.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New business volume $857.5 $828.9 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equipment Finance operating margin reflected improved interest margin, which was offset by reduced securitization gains and a modest loss on the sale of certain franchise finance portfolio loans. New business volume increased primarily in Canada. 6 Capital Finance At or for the Quarter Ended ------------------------------ June 30, 2003 March 31, 2003 ------------- -------------- Operating margin $ 32.2 $ 28.9 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income before provision for income tax $ 14.8 $ 12.6 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New business volume $453.0 $280.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Capital Finance operating margin and pre-tax income reflected reduced aerospace charge-offs and a modest contribution from the rail portfolio acquired during the second quarter. New business volume was higher reflecting new aircraft deliveries. Of the remaining deliveries for 2003, 6 of the 8 planes have been placed. At June 30, 2003, two commercial aircraft were off lease, down from seven at March 31, 2003. Commercial Finance At or for the Quarter Ended ------------------------------ June 30, 2003 March 31, 2003 ------------- -------------- Operating margin $131.3 $129.9 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income before provision for income tax $ 91.1 $ 88.7 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New business volume (including factoring) $848.6 $328.2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial Finance operating margin and pre-tax income improved, driven by asset based lending activities. New business volume was also up due primarily to strong asset based lending volume. Structured Finance At or for the Quarter Ended ------------------------------ June 30, 2003 March 31, 2003 ------------- -------------- Operating margin $ 31.6 $ 28.3 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income before provision for income tax $ 24.0 $ 20.0 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New business volume $141.3 $100.2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Structured Finance performance reflected both higher fees and a modest increase in interest margin. New business volume increased most notably in the media portfolio. 7 Corporate and Other At or for the Quarter Ended ------------------------------ June 30, 2003 March 31, 2003 ------------- -------------- Operating margin $ 20.9 $ 28.4 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loss before tax benefit $ (17.3) $ (11.9) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corporate and Other amounts reflect certain interest and other operating expenses not allocated to business segments. The reduced operating margin reflected additional interest expense retained by corporate, while the higher pre-tax loss was also the result of increased losses on venture capital investments. Funding and Liquidity During the quarter we repaid the remaining $1.3 billion of bank line borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2003, resulting in no drawn bank lines at June 30, 2003. Commercial paper was $4.6 billion, up slightly from $4.5 billion at March 31, 2003. At June 30, 2003, $6.3 billion of committed bank lines were available. Term-debt issued during the quarter totaled $1.8 billion, and consisted of a $0.5 billion five-year, fixed-rate global issue, $1.0 billion in variable-rate medium-term notes and $0.3 billion in fixed-rate retail issues. Securitization volume was $1.7 billion compared to $1.2 billion in the prior quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were $1.4 billion at June 30, 2003, compared to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2003, as excess liquidity was reduced this quarter. However, the level of cash liquidity remains in excess of historical amounts. Capitalization and Leverage The ratio of tangible equity to managed assets strengthened further to 10.53% as of June 30, 2003, compared to 10.42% as of March 31, 2003 and 9.25% at the end of the prior year quarter. The return on tangible equity was 11.6%, compared to 11.0% for the prior quarter. 8 Conference Call and Webcast: We will discuss this quarter's results, as well as on-going strategy, on a conference call today at 11:00 am (EDT).
