RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.

ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James Financial, Inc. today reported a 20 percent decrease from the prior year’s quarterly net income to $49,036,000, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter ended December 31, 2009. In comparison, the firm earned $61,093,000, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Net revenues increased 3 percent to $686,967,000, while total revenues increased 1 percent to $702,669,000. Comparisons with the immediately preceding quarter were more favorable as net income was up 14 percent on a 3 percent increase in net revenues.

“While progress is slower than we would like, financial market, economic and Raymond James’ results continue to improve since last year’s March quarter,” said Chairman and CEO Thomas A. James.

“To understand the first quarter’s trends, it’s instructive to study the underlying segments. The Private Client Group exhibited continued improvement in the quarter as commissions and fees in the segment increased over 15 percent, generating an increased contribution to pre-tax profits of 28 percent in the segment over last year and an 88 percent improvement over the September 2009 quarter. In spite of flat revenues, the Asset Management Group (AMG) increased its contribution by 33 percent over last year’s comparable quarter and 24 percent over the preceding quarter as a result of expense control. If the market continues to improve, AMG will benefit from growing operating leverage,” James continued.

“On the other side of the ledger, Capital Markets’ contribution declined by $3 million from last year, as Fixed Income revenues were down somewhat, albeit still robust and profitable. The pre-tax contribution decline from the preceding quarter was an even more dramatic 51 percent, reflecting the surge in investment banking revenues that often occurs in the final quarter of the fiscal year. By far the largest impact on the quarter was a $30 million decline in the profit contribution of Raymond James Bank compared to last year. Last year’s record quarterly pre-tax profit emanated from higher loan balances, slower loan growth (necessitating lower loan loss provisions) and a benign quarter for loan losses. In contrast, the bank increased its profit contribution over the immediately preceding quarter by $14 million, reflecting a lower level of loan loss provisions as the status of some of its existing problem loans improved, offsetting a lower level of new loan loss provisions.

“In summary, conditions in the securities business are improving, albeit slowly, as unemployment levels and memories of recent losses are still fresh in investors’ minds. Moreover, the bank appears to be on the road to higher profits. Consequently, I anticipate improvement in operating results, although the risk of quarterly aberrations related to market or economic volatility is still present.”

The company will conduct its quarterly conference call Thursday, January 21, at 8:15 a.m. ET. For a listen-only connection, visit raymondjames.com/analystcall for a live audio webcast. The subjects to be covered may include forward-looking information. Questions may be posed to management by participants on the analyst call-in line, and in response the company may disclose additional material information.

Raymond James Financial (NYSE-RJF) is a Florida-based diversified holding company providing financial services to individuals, corporations and municipalities through its subsidiary companies. Its three wholly owned broker/dealers (Raymond James & Associates, Raymond James Financial Services and Raymond James Ltd.) and Raymond James Investment Services Limited, a majority-owned independent contractor subsidiary in the United Kingdom, have a total of more than 5,300 financial advisors serving approximately 1.9 million accounts in more than 2,300 locations throughout the United States, Canada and overseas. In addition, total client assets are approximately $232 billion, of which $30 billion are managed by the firm’s asset management subsidiaries.

To the extent that Raymond James makes or publishes forward-looking statements (regarding economic conditions, management expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated expense savings, loan reserves/losses, financial results, anticipated results of litigation and regulatory proceedings, and other similar matters), a variety of factors, many of which are beyond Raymond James’ control, could cause actual results and experiences to differ materially from the expectations and objectives expressed in these statements. These factors are described in Raymond James’ 2009 annual report on Form 10-K which is available on raymondjames.com and sec.gov.

RAYMOND JAMES BANK

Raymond James Bank, FSB (RJ Bank) is a federally chartered savings bank, regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), which provides residential, consumer and commercial loans, as well as FDIC-insured deposit accounts, to clients of Raymond James Financial, Inc. (RJF) broker-dealer subsidiaries and to the general public. RJ Bank also purchases residential whole loan packages to hold for investment and is active in bank participations and corporate loan syndications. RJ Bank operates from a single branch location adjacent to the Raymond James headquarters complex in St. Petersburg, Florida. RJ Bank’s deposits consist predominately of cash balances swept from the client investment accounts carried by Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (RJ&A) in the Raymond James Bank Deposit Program (RJBDP).

Corporate & Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolio

RJ Bank's corporate and commercial real estate loan portfolio is comprised of project finance real estate loans and commercial lines of credit and term loans. Approximately 90 percent of the corporate loan portfolio is participations in Shared National Credits (SNC) or other large syndicated loans. The SNCs are loan syndications totaling over $20 million that are shared among three or more regulated institutions. RJ Bank is sometimes involved in the syndication of the loan at inception and some of these loans have been purchased in secondary trading markets. The remainder of the corporate loan portfolio is comprised of smaller participations and direct loans. Regardless of the source, all loans are independently underwritten to RJ Bank credit policies, are subject to loan committee approval, and credit quality is continually monitored by corporate lending staff. The corporate lending staff has direct access and a regular dialogue with the borrowers’ management teams. Approximately one third of the corporate borrowers also have a capital markets relationship with RJ&A. More than half of RJ Bank's corporate borrowers are public companies. RJ Bank's corporate loans are generally secured by all assets of the borrower and in some instances are secured by mortgages on specific real estate. In a limited number of transactions, loans in the portfolio are extended on an unsecured basis. There are no subordinated loans or mezzanine financings in the corporate loan portfolio.

Residential Loan Portfolio

RJ Bank's residential loan portfolio consists primarily of first mortgage loans originated by RJ Bank via referrals from RJF Private Client Group financial advisors, and first mortgage loans purchased by RJ Bank originated by select large financial institutions. These purchased mortgage loans represent approximately 90 percent of RJ Bank's residential portfolio. All of RJ Bank's residential loans adhere to strict RJ Bank underwriting parameters pertaining to credit score and credit history, debt-to-income ratio of the borrower, loan-to-value (LTV), and combined LTV (including second mortgage/ home equity loans). On average, three-fourths of the purchased residential loans are re-underwritten with new credit information and valuations, if warranted, by RJ Bank staff prior to purchase, with the remainder coming from long-standing sources and meeting extremely high credit criteria. Approximately 90 percent of the residential loans are fully documented loans to owner-occupant borrowers. Virtually all of RJ Bank's residential loans are adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loans. Approximately 70 percent of residential loans are ARMs with interest-only payments based on a fixed rate for an initial period of the loan, typically 3-5 years, then become fully amortizing, subject to annual and lifetime interest rate caps. RJ Bank does not originate or purchase option ARM loans with negative amortization, payment options, reverse mortgages, or other types of exotic loan products. Loans with deeply discounted teaser rates are not originated or purchased. Adjustable mortgage rate resets in the next six months are expected to be at rates similar to or lower than the current loan rates. RJ Bank has a long history with these types of loans. Originated 15 or 30-year fixed rate mortgages are typically sold to correspondents and only retained on an exception basis. All of RJ Bank’s first mortgage loans are serviced by the seller or by third party professional firms.

Asset Quality

During the quarter, the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) increased slightly as a percentage of total loans from 2.23% to 2.26%. Total net loan charge-offs for the quarter were $23.9 million, compared to the prior quarter’s $26.4 million. Net charge-offs in the corporate loan portfolio totaled $14.6 million as compared to $16.1 million in the prior quarter, and included $7.9 million related to the sale of distressed debt in the secondary market. The balance of the charge-offs was taken almost exclusively on commercial acquisition & development loans. Of note, there were $2.0 million in corporate loan recoveries of charge-offs taken in prior quarters. The remaining $9.3 million in net charge-offs were taken on delinquent residential loans. Loan loss provision expense for the quarter was $22.8 million, compared to the previous quarter’s provision expense of $39.7 million. Provision expense was driven by increasing delinquencies in the residential portfolio, downgrade of loans in the corporate portfolio (which was partially offset by several loan upgrades), and to a lesser extent, the further stratification of the performing residential portfolio based upon updated LTV estimates. Nonperforming loans decreased by $23.0 million during the quarter, compared to the prior quarter’s increase of $8.0 million. Corporate nonperforming loans decreased by $33.3 million during the quarter primarily due to the return of two loans to performing status, with further decreases driven by charge-offs and loan repayments. The improvement in corporate nonperforming loans was partially offset by an increase of $10.3 million in nonperforming residential loans. The quarterly growth in delinquent residential loans (30+ days or more delinquent) declined substantially with an increase of $1.4 million compared to $17.0 million in the prior quarter. The asset balance in Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) decreased slightly to $8.4 million as the sale of RJ Bank’s largest corporate OREO property was almost fully offset by an increase in residential foreclosures. RJ Bank anticipates a significant increase in OREO property, and a corresponding reduction in nonperforming loans, in the coming quarters as nonperforming acquisition and development loans proceed through the foreclosure process.

Investments

RJ Bank’s investment portfolio consists of mortgage securities, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock and a small Community Reinvestment Act investment. About 44 percent of the portfolio is invested in relatively short average-life floating rate government agency securities. Most of the remaining mortgage-backed securities portfolio is comprised of non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO). These CMO securities were purchased based on the underlying loan characteristics such as LTV ratio, credit scores, property type, location and level of credit enhancement. Current characteristics of each security owned such as delinquency and foreclosure levels, credit enhancement, projected losses and coverage are reviewed monthly by management.

All mortgage securities are classified as Available for Sale and the fair value reported includes an aggregate pretax unrealized loss of $76.9 million. These securities have experienced losses in fair value due to ongoing economic uncertainty and continued illiquidity in the markets and a significant widening of interest rate spreads. Certain securities were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI) as of December 31, 2009. Even though there is no intent to sell these securities and it is highly unlikely the securities will be required to be sold, RJ Bank does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities, and therefore, recorded $3.0 million of OTTI loss in other revenue during the quarter. This is based on RJ Bank’s evaluation of the performance and underlying characteristics of the securities including the level of current and estimated credit losses relative to the level of credit enhancement which are subject to change depending on a number of factors such as economic conditions, changes in home prices, delinquency and foreclosure statistics, among others.

At 9/30/09, total assets were adjusted to exclude the $2.3 billion in additional RJBDP deposits, the majority of which were redirected during October 2009 to third-party banks participating in the multi-bank sweep program, and the $900 million FHLB advance repaid on 10/1/09. See information in footnote 10 below for additional information.

Beginning in October 2008, the RJBDP cash sweep option was temporarily discontinued to all new client accounts. However, in September 2009, RJ&A revised this cash sweep option from a single-bank (RJ Bank) to a multi-bank (RJ Bank and other non-affiliated banks) program where client deposit accounts are deposited through a third-party service into interest-bearing deposit accounts ($245,000 per bank for individual accounts and $490,000 for joint accounts) at up to 12 banks.

At 9/30/09, RJ Bank had an additional $2.3 billion of deposits received through the RJBDP, which were utilized at 9/30/09 along with additional short-term FHLB advances of $900 million to meet point-in-time regulatory balance sheet composition requirements related to its qualifying as a thrift institution. The latter action was discussed well in advance with the OTS. These deposits and short-term borrowings were invested in qualifying assets comprised of $2.0 billion in reverse repurchase agreements (collateralized by GNMA and U.S. Treasury securities) and $1.2 billion in U.S. Treasury securities and the necessary qualification was met. RJ Bank repaid the borrowings on 10/01/09 and the majority of the RJBDP deposits were redirected during October 2009 to third-party banks participating in the multi-bank sweep program. The September 30, 2009 results are presented on the previous page, along with adjusted assets excluding the additional RJBDP deposits and borrowing, respectively.

The Company elected to early adopt FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 320-10-65-1, “Transition Related to FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment” as well as FASB ASC Topic 820-10-65-4, “Transition Related to FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” and as a result, changed the valuation methodology used for certain available for sale securities. This change resulted in an increase in the fair value of those available for sale securities of approximately $18.6 million or 5% of the par value of the securities subject to the methodology change.

(13)

Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Spread percentages were negatively impacted by 0.16% and 0.33% for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, respectively, due to excess RJBDP deposits held for the majority of both September and October and part of November as the new multi-bank sweep program was implemented. These deposits were invested in short term liquid investments producing very little interest rate spread.

(15)	The Tier I Capital (to Adjusted Assets) ratio at 09/30/09 calculated to exclude the assets in which RJ Bank invested to meet point-in-time regulatory balance sheet composition requirements was 10.3% (see footnote 2 above).
