RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER
OF FISCAL 2021 RESULTS

Record quarterly net revenues of $2.22 billion, up 11% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 7% over the preceding quarter
Record quarterly net income of $312 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, and record adjusted quarterly net income of $314 million(1), or $2.24 per diluted share(1)
Records for client assets under administration of $1.02 trillion, financial assets under management of $169.6 billion, and net loans at Raymond James Bank of $22.0 billion
Record Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts of $532.7 billion, increases of 20% over December 2019 and 12% over September 2020
Private Client Group financial advisors of 8,233, a net increase of 173 over December 2019 and a net decrease of 6 compared to September 2020
Record quarterly investment banking revenues of $261 million, driven by record M&A results
Annualized return on equity for the quarter of 17.2% and annualized return on tangible common equity for the quarter of 19.0%(1)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla – Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE: RJF) today reported net revenues of $2.22 billion and net income of $312 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, for the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2020. Record quarterly net revenues grew 11% over the year-ago period and 7% over the preceding quarter, primarily driven by higher asset management and related administrative fees, investment banking revenues, and brokerage revenues.

Record quarterly net income grew 16% compared to the prior year’s fiscal first quarter primarily driven by the aforementioned higher revenues and a lower effective tax rate, which more than offset the negative impact of lower short-term interest rates on net interest income and RJBDP fees. Compared to the preceding quarter, net income increased 49% largely due to higher net revenues, combined with a lower provision for credit losses on bank loans and the reduction in workforce(2) expenses in the prior quarter. The effective tax rate of 21.8% in the quarter benefited from non-taxable gains in the corporate-owned life insurance portfolio.

“With strength across our businesses, we achieved record results this quarter including record revenues and pre-tax income in the Capital Markets and Asset Management segments, reinforcing the value of having diverse and complementary businesses,” said Chairman and CEO Paul Reilly. “Reflecting our focus on long-term growth and our commitment to deploying excess capital, we closed the acquisition of NWPS, a retirement plans solutions provider, at the end of the quarter, and announced the pending acquisition of Financo, a consumer-focused M&A advisory firm. Both of these firms represent great cultural and strategic fits, and we are excited about welcoming the teams to our Raymond James family.”

Segment Results

Private Client Group

Quarterly net revenues of $1.47 billion, up 4% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 5% over the preceding quarter
Quarterly pre-tax income of $140 million, down 8% compared to the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and up 12% over the preceding quarter
Record Private Client Group assets under administration of $974.2 billion, up 14% over December 2019 and 10% over September 2020
Record Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts of $532.7 billion, up 20% over December 2019 and 12% over September 2020
Private Client Group financial advisors of 8,233, a net increase of 173 over December 2019 and a net decrease of 6 compared to September 2020
Record clients’ domestic cash sweep balances of $61.6 billion, up 56% over December 2019 and 11% over September 2020

Quarterly net revenues grew 4% over the prior-year period and 5% over the preceding quarter, predominantly driven by higher asset management and related administrative fees, reflecting higher assets in fee-based accounts. While higher revenues helped pre-tax income increase 12% over the preceding quarter, pre-tax income decreased 8% compared to the prior-year quarter largely due to the negative impact of lower short-term interest rates.

“Our client-centric culture, multiple affiliation options, and robust support and solutions offerings continue to resonate with existing and prospective advisors, although the recruiting environment has become increasingly competitive, particularly in the employee affiliation option,” said Reilly. “However, we remain optimistic about the high level of interest from prospective advisors across all of our affiliation options.”

Capital Markets

Record quarterly net revenues of $452 million, up 69% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 10% over the preceding quarter
Record quarterly pre-tax income of $129 million, up 345% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 22% over the preceding quarter
Record quarterly investment banking revenues of $255 million, up 96% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 22% over the preceding quarter
Record quarterly brokerage revenues of $173 million, up 50% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 8% over the preceding quarter

Record investment banking revenues were driven by record M&A revenues, along with continued strength in debt and equity underwriting. Fixed income brokerage revenues increased 62% over the prior-year period and 5% over the preceding quarter.

“The Capital Markets segment generated another quarter of record results due to robust investment banking and brokerage activity,” said Reilly. “While there is still a significant amount of economic uncertainty due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the investment banking pipeline is strong and we expect fixed income brokerage results to remain elevated given current interest rates and economic conditions.”

Asset Management

Record quarterly net revenues of $195 million, up 6% over both the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and the preceding quarter
Record quarterly pre-tax income of $83 million, up 14% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 6% over the preceding quarter
Record financial assets under management of $169.6 billion, up 12% over December 2019 and 11% over September 2020

Record quarterly results were primarily attributable to growth of financial assets under management, as equity market appreciation and net inflows into fee-based accounts in the Private Client Group more than offset modest net outflows for Carillon Tower Advisers.

Raymond James Bank

Quarterly net revenues of $167 million, down 23% compared to the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and up 4% over the preceding quarter
Quarterly pre-tax income of $71 million, down 47% compared to the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and up 115% over the preceding quarter
Record net loans of $22.0 billion, up 3% over December 2019 and 4% over September 2020
Available-for-sale securities portfolio ended the quarter at $8.0 billion, up $4.8 billion over December 2019 and $350 million over September 2020
Net interest margin (NIM) of 2.02% for the quarter, down 121 basis points compared to the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 7 basis points compared to the preceding quarter

Quarterly net revenues declined 23% compared to the prior year’s fiscal first quarter primarily due to the impact of lower short-term interest rates. Sequentially, quarterly net revenues grew 4%, largely driven by higher asset balances. The Bank’s NIM declined 7 basis points during the quarter to 2.02%, largely due to asset mix given the growth of agency-backed securities. Nonperforming assets remained low at 0.09% of total assets, and there were no charge-offs during the quarter. While criticized loans declined during the quarter, the bank loan provision for credit losses of $14 million was largely attributable to the macroeconomic inputs in the CECL model, which assume a greater decline in commercial real estate values and resulted in higher allowances for the commercial real estate portfolio. The bank loan allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans ended the quarter at 1.71%.

Other

The Other segment included $24 million of valuation gains on private equity investments during the quarter, of which $10 million were attributable to noncontrolling interests and were offset in Other expenses.

In December, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend 5% to $0.39 per share and authorized share repurchases of up to $750 million, which replaced the previous authorization. In the fiscal first quarter, the firm repurchased approximately 108,000 shares for $10 million, an average price of approximately $92.80 per share, leaving $740 million available under the authorization as of January 26, 2021. At the end of the quarter, the total capital ratio was 24.6% and the tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.9%, both well above the regulatory requirements.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Fiscal First Quarter of 2021(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures

We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures as additional measures to aid in, and enhance, the understanding of our financial results and related measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have been separately identified in this document. We believe certain of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors by excluding certain material items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. We utilize these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the financial performance of the business, as they facilitate a comparison of current- and prior-period results. We believe that return on tangible common equity and tangible book value per share are meaningful to investors as they facilitate comparisons of our results to the results of other companies. In the following tables, the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments reflects the statutory rate associated with each non-GAAP item. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The following tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for those periods which include non-GAAP adjustments.

Fiscal First Quarter of 2021

Footnotes

1.These are non-GAAP financial measures. See the schedules on the previous pages for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and for more information on these measures. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2019; therefore, percent changes for earnings-related non-GAAP financial measures are calculated based on non-GAAP results for the three months ended December 30, 2020 as compared to GAAP results for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

2.Reduction in workforce expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were associated with position eliminations in response to the economic environment. These expenses were included in our Other segment and primarily consisted of severance and related payroll expenses, as well as expenses related to company-paid benefits.

3.Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (less allocation of earnings and dividends to participating securities) by weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic or diluted as applicable) for each respective period or, in the case of adjusted earnings per common share, computed by dividing adjusted net income (less allocation of earnings and dividends to participating securities) by weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic or diluted as applicable) for each respective period.

4.Other revenues included $24 million and $12 million of private equity valuation gains for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, which were included in our Other segment. Of these gains, $10 million and $3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, were attributable to noncontrolling interests and were offset in Other expenses.

5.The allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2020 was determined under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model as a result of our October 1, 2020 adoption of new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The impact of adoption on October 1, 2020 resulted in an increase in our allowance for credit losses, including reserves for unfunded lending commitments, of approximately $45 million (primarily $25 million related to loans to financial advisors in the Private Client Group and approximately $10 million related to Bank loans outstanding) and a corresponding reduction in retained earnings of approximately $35 million, net of tax. The Bank loan provision for credit losses of $14 million for the fiscal first quarter of 2021 was determined under the CECL model and represented the provision for credit losses post the CECL adoption date through December 31, 2020.

6.The three months ended December 31, 2020 included expenses in our Other segment associated with our acquisition of NWPS Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which was announced and completed in December 2020, as well as our announced acquisition of Financo. The three months ended September 30, 2020 included a $7 million loss in our Capital Markets segment related to the sale of our interests in certain entities that operated predominantly in France, which closed during our fiscal first quarter of 2021.

7.Book value per share is computed by dividing total equity attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc. by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of each respective period or, in the case of tangible book value per share, computed by dividing tangible common equity by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of each respective period. Tangible common equity is defined as total equity attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc. less goodwill and intangible assets, net of related deferred taxes.

8.Estimated.

9.Return on equity is computed by dividing annualized net income by average equity for each respective period or, in the case of return on tangible common equity, computed by dividing annualized net income by average tangible common equity for each respective period. Adjusted return on equity is computed by dividing annualized adjusted net income by adjusted average equity for each respective period, or in the case of adjusted return on tangible common equity, computed by dividing annualized adjusted net income by adjusted average tangible common equity for each respective period.

10.Pre-tax margin is computed by dividing pre-tax income by net revenues for each respective period or, in the case of adjusted pre-tax margin, computed by dividing adjusted pre-tax income by net revenues for each respective period.

11.Total compensation ratio is computed by dividing compensation, commissions and benefits expense by net revenues for each respective period.

12.We earn fees from RJBDP, a multi-bank sweep program in which clients’ cash deposits in their brokerage accounts are swept into interest-bearing deposit accounts at Raymond James Bank and various third-party banks. Fees earned by Private Client Group on Raymond James Bank deposits are eliminated in consolidation.

13.Average yield on RJBDP - third-party banks is computed by dividing annualized RJBDP fees - third-party banks, which are net of the interest expense paid to clients by the third-party banks, by the average daily RJBDP balances at third-party banks.

14.As a result of our adoption of CECL, we have redefined certain of our loan portfolio segments to align with the new methodology applied in determining the allowance for credit losses, including the combination of the CRE and CRE construction loan portfolios and the separation of loans to real estate investment trusts into a separate portfolio segment (previously included in CRE loans and C&I loans). Prior period loan portfolio segments have been revised to conform to the current presentation.

15.The average yield is presented on a tax-equivalent basis for each respective period.

16.The Other segment includes the results of our private equity investments, interest income on certain corporate cash balances, and certain corporate overhead costs of Raymond James Financial, Inc., including the interest costs on our public debt.

17.Average equity is computed by adding the total equity attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc. as of the date indicated to the prior quarter-end total, and dividing by two, or in the case of average tangible common equity, computed by adding tangible common equity as of the date indicated to the prior quarter-end total, and dividing by two. Adjusted average equity is computed by adjusting for the impact on average equity of the non-GAAP adjustments, as applicable for each respective period. Adjusted average tangible common equity is computed by adjusting for the impact on average tangible common equity of the non-GAAP adjustments, as applicable for each respective period.
