Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(c) Exhibits.
99.1 Historical quarterly financial information issued by CIT Group Inc. on its
website, www.cit.com.
Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes an exhibit disclosing certain
historical quarterly financial information incorporated by CIT Group Inc. on its
website, www.cit.com. The supplemental data is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The data provided herein has not been examined by independent accountants and is
not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), as the data provided excludes the results of Tyco Capital Holding,
Inc. ("TCH"), which was merged into CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) prior to the initial
public offering ("IPO") on July 8, 2002. TCH does not impact the Company's
financial results for the period(s) subsequent to the IPO date. The data
provided includes the results of select international financial assets that were
transferred to Tyco on September 30, 2001, but managed by the Company, and which
CIT subsequently repurchased from Tyco prior to the IPO date. As a result, the
data at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001 varies slightly from comparable
data reported in CIT's Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2001 and
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. Certain prior period amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Please refer to the Company's SEC filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q for
consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
