Acquisitions completed during the year ended September 30, 2022

On January 21, 2022, we completed our acquisition of U.K.-based Charles Stanley Group PLC (“Charles Stanley”) using cash on hand as of the acquisition date. Charles Stanley provides financial planning, investment advisory, and securities transaction services in the U.K. through multiple affiliation options. Charles Stanley has been integrated into our PCG segment and its results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of January 21, 2022. The goodwill associated with the Charles Stanley acquisition, which has been allocated to our PCG segment and primarily represents synergies from combining Charles Stanley with our existing businesses, is not deductible for tax purposes.

On June 1, 2022, we completed our acquisition of all the outstanding shares of TriState Capital, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners, LLC (“Chartwell”), in a cash and stock transaction. TriState Capital Bank serves the commercial banking needs of middle-market businesses and financial services providers and the private banking needs of high-net-worth individuals. Chartwell, a registered investment adviser, provides investment management services primarily to institutional investors, mutual funds, and individual investors. TriState Capital Bank operates as a separately branded firm and as an independently-chartered bank. TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell have been integrated into our Bank and Asset Management segments, respectively, and their results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of June 1, 2022. The goodwill associated with this acquisition, which has been allocated to our Bank segment and primarily represents synergies from combining TriState Capital with our existing businesses, is not deductible for tax purposes.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, TriState Capital common stockholders received $6.00 cash and 0.25 shares of RJF common stock for each share of TriState Capital common stock. Additionally, the TriState Capital Series C Perpetual Non-Cumulative Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock (“Series C Convertible Preferred Stock”) was converted to common shares at the prescribed exchange ratio and cashed out at $30 per share, and each share of TriState Capital’s 6.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and TriState Capital’s 6.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock was converted, respectively, into the right to receive one share of a newly created 6.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and 6.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) of RJF. The fair values of these newly created Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock were estimated as of the June 1, 2022 acquisition date based on quoted market prices for the instruments. On April 3, 2023, we redeemed all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock that was issued in connection with the acquisition of TriState Capital. See Note 20 for additional details on this preferred stock and the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Furthermore, as a component of our total purchase consideration for TriState Capital on June 1, 2022, in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, 551 thousand RJF RSAs were issued at terms that mirrored RSAs of TriState Capital which were outstanding as of the acquisition date. In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, the TriState Capital RSAs were converted to RJF RSAs using an exchange ratio that considered the RJF volume weighted average price for 10 trading days ending on the third business day prior to the closing of the acquisition. The fair value of the RSAs upon completion of the transaction was calculated as of the June 1, 2022 acquisition date based on the June 1, 2022 closing share price of our common stock and was allocated between the pre-acquisition service period ($28 million treated as purchase consideration) and the post-acquisition requisite service period, over which we will recognize share-based compensation amortization. See Note 23 for additional details on these RSAs.

On December 15, 2021, during the period between announcement of the intent to acquire TriState Capital and the acquisition closing date, we had loaned TriState Capital $125 million under an unsecured fixed-to-floating rate note (the “Note”). The Note was set to mature on December 15, 2024 and bore interest at a fixed annual rate of 2.25%. Upon acquisition, the Note reverted to an intercompany instrument and subsequent to the closing date, the Note was forgiven. In accordance with GAAP, as of the acquisition date the Note was considered to have been effectively settled and the acquisition-date fair value of $123 million was treated as purchase consideration and included in the purchase price. The fair value of the Note on the acquisition date was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments at the acquisition date.
On July 1, 2022, we completed our acquisition of SumRidge Partners, LLC (“SumRidge Partners”) using cash on hand as of the acquisition date. SumRidge Partners is a technology-driven fixed income market maker specializing in investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and institutional preferred securities. The acquisition of SumRidge Partners added an institutional market-making operation, as well as additional trading technologies and risk management tools to our existing fixed income operations. SumRidge Partners has been integrated into our Capital Markets segment and its results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of July 1, 2022. The goodwill associated with the SumRidge Partners acquisition, which has been allocated to our Capital Markets segment and primarily represents synergies from combining SumRidge Partners with our existing businesses, is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years.

We accounted for our completed acquisitions of Charles Stanley, TriState Capital, and SumRidge Partners as business combinations in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price attributable to each acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values. The following table summarizes the aggregate purchase consideration, fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and resulting goodwill as of their respective acquisition dates.

Our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income included combined net revenues attributable to Charles Stanley, TriState Capital, and SumRidge Partners of $862 million and $328 million for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and combined pre-tax income of $268 million and $38 million for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Combined pre-tax income for the year ended September 30, 2022 included an initial provision for credit losses on loans and lending commitments acquired as part of the TriState Capital acquisition of $26 million (included in “Bank loan provision/(benefit) for credit losses”) and $5 million (included in “Other” expense), respectively. These provisions were required under GAAP to be recorded in earnings in the reporting period following the acquisition date.
Determination of fair value

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities acquired:

Cash and cash equivalents; Assets segregated for regulatory purposes; Brokerage client receivables; Other receivables; and Brokerage client payables: The pre-close carrying values of these assets and liabilities were a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

Trading assets and liabilities: The pre-close carrying values of trading assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date were used as reasonable estimates of fair value. We utilized prices from third-party pricing services to corroborate these estimates of fair value.

Available-for-sale securities: The fair values of available-for-sale securities were based on quoted market prices for the same or similar securities, recently executed transactions, or third-party pricing models.

Derivatives assets and liabilities: The pre-close carrying amount of derivative assets and liabilities, which utilized valuations from third-party pricing services, were used as reasonable estimates of fair value.

Bank loans: The estimated fair values for bank loans were determined using a discounted cash flow methodology that considered loan type and related collateral, credit loss expectations, classification status, market interest rates and other market factors from the perspective of a market participant. Loans were segregated into specific pools according to similar characteristics, including risk, interest rate type (i.e., fixed or floating), underlying benchmark rate, and payment type and were treated in the aggregate when determining the fair value of each pool. The discount rates were derived using a build-up method inclusive of the weighted average cost of funding, estimated servicing costs and an adjustment for liquidity and then compared to current origination rates and other relevant market data.

Purchased loans were evaluated and classified as either purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”), which indicates that the loan has experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination, or non-PCD loans. For PCD loans, the sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses, which was determined as of the acquisition date using the same allowance methodology applied to the TriState Capital Bank loan portfolio as of September 30, 2022, became its initial amortized cost basis. The initial allowance for credit losses on PCD loans is established in purchase accounting, with a corresponding offset to goodwill (i.e., is not recorded in earnings). As required under GAAP, an initial allowance for credit losses on non-PCD loans is required to be established through a provision for credit losses (i.e., recorded in earnings) in the first reporting period following the acquisition. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses for PCD and non-PCD loans are recognized in the bank loan provision/(benefit) for credit losses. For non-PCD loans, the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance was considered the fair value mark. The non-credit discount or premium related to PCD loans and the fair value mark on non-PCD loans will be accreted or amortized into interest income over the weighted average life of the underlying loans, which may vary based on prepayments.

Of the total bank loans acquired in the TriState Capital acquisition with an unpaid principal balance of $11.70 billion, $11.36 billion were considered non-PCD loans and $337 million were considered PCD loans. The following table reconciles the difference between the unpaid principal balance and purchase price of PCD loans at acquisition.

Identifiable intangible assets: The fair values of the significant identifiable intangible assets were estimated using the following income approaches.

Customer relationships — The fair values of customer relationships were estimated using a multi-period excess earnings approach that considered future period post-tax earnings, as well as a discount rate.
Trade names — The fair values of trade names were estimated using a relief from royalty approach which was based on a forecast of the after-tax royalties we would save by ownership of the intangible assets rather than licensing the use of those assets.
Core deposit intangible (“CDI”) — The fair value of the CDI asset was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach, specifically the favorable source of funds method, that considered the servicing and interest costs of the acquired deposit base, an estimate of the cost associated with alternative funding sources, expected client attrition rates, deposit growth rates, and a discount rate.
Developed technology — The fair value of developed technology was estimated primarily using a multi-period excess earnings approach which was based on a forecast of the expected future net cash flows attributable to the assets over the estimated remaining lives of the assets.

These cash flow forecasts were then adjusted to present value by applying appropriate discount rates based on current market rates that reflect the risks associated with the cash flow streams.

All other assets acquired: All other assets acquired primarily included company-owned life insurance policies, ROU assets, investments in FHLB stock, and investments in LIHTC funds. The pre-close historical carrying values of company-owned life insurance policies, investments in FHLB stock and investments in LIHTC funds were used as a reasonable estimate of fair value. All other assets acquired also included ROU lease assets which were measured at the same amount as the lease liability, as adjusted to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease when compared with market terms (see “All other liabilities assumed” section below for additional details regarding acquired lease liabilities).

Bank deposits: The fair values used for demand and savings deposits equaled the amounts payable on demand at the acquisition date. The fair values for time deposits were estimated by applying a discounted cash flow method to discount the principal and interest payments from maturity at the yields offered by similar banks as of the acquisition date.

Other borrowings: Other borrowings was comprised of 5.75% fixed-to-floating subordinated notes due 2030 and short-term FHLB advances (see Note 16 for additional details on these borrowings). The fair value of the subordinated note was estimated based on quoted market prices as of the valuation date. The carrying amount of the FHLB advances was a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments and that the vast majority are floating-rate advances.
All other liabilities assumed: All other liabilities assumed primarily included payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations, and accrued compensation, commissions, and benefits. The pre-close historical carrying values of these liabilities were used as a reasonable estimate of fair value. All other liabilities assumed also included lease liabilities and the fair value of unfunded lending commitments. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments determined using a discounted cash flow method based on our cost of borrowing, as if the acquired lease were a new lease at the acquisition date. The fair value of unfunded lending commitments was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach.
