Dear Fellow Shareholders, As we write this letter, the S&P 500 index has recovered from its precipitous drop following the unexpected “Brexit” vote in June and is now hovering near all-time highs. While corporate earnings in the June quarter beat analysts’ estimates, adjusted earnings per share for the S&P 500 still posted annual declines for the fourth consecutive quarter. Meanwhile, global economic and political concerns as well as unprecedented support from central banks around the world have pushed high- quality government bond yields to record lows. Unfortunately, that financial stimulation has failed to engender much corporate growth. Given these crosscurrents, coupled with the seven-year bull market in the United States, the increasingly widespread apprehension among investors is justifiable. Despite this suboptimal backdrop, Raymond James generated record quarterly net revenues of $1.36 billion, increasing 3% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 4% over the preceding quarter. All four of our core operating segments produced revenue growth during the quarter, and three of those segments – the Private Client Group, Asset Management and Raymond James Bank – achieved record quarterly revenues that were driven by organic growth. Quarterly net income of $125.5 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, declined 6% compared to the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and was essentially flat compared to the preceding quarter. Earnings were hampered during the quarter by $13.4 million of acquisition-related expenses as well as elevated legal and regulatory expenses largely related to historical anti-money laundering (AML) deficiencies, which will be discussed later in this letter. The annualized return on equity for the quarter was 10.7%, falling below our long- term target of 12%-15% but still reflecting an acceptable result given the lackluster market environment, the aforementioned expenses and our relatively conservative capital position. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2016, net revenues were $3.94 billion, up 2% over the same period in fiscal 2015 and representing a record start to our fiscal year. Net income of $357.7 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, declined 4%, which was primarily attributable to $21.3 million of acquisition-related expenses during the first nine months of the fiscal year. We also achieved many other records on June 30, including total balance sheet assets of $28.8 billion, shareholders’ equity of $4.7 billion, client assets under administration of $534.5 billion, total number of Private Client Group financial advisors of 6,834, financial assets under management of $71.7 billion and net loans at Raymond James Bank of $14.8 billion. These milestones are a testament to our firm’s steadfast commitment on serving clients and should bode well for future results. During the quarter, the Private Client Group (PCG) segment attained record quarterly net revenues of $900.5 million, increasing 1% compared to the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 2% compared to the preceding quarter. Quarterly pre-tax income of $81.9 million was down 5% on a year-over-year basis and 2% sequentially. Revenues in the segment benefited from beginning the quarter with higher assets in fee-based accounts as well as higher account and service fees, which were both bolstered by excellent financial advisor retention and recruiting. However, the decline in PCG’s pre-tax income in the quarter was attributable to subdued transactional commissions and elevated legal and regulatory expenses. The strong net recruiting results enabled PCG to achieve a record 6,834 financial advisors, impressive increases of 327 over June 2015 and 69 over March 2016. Client assets under administration in the segment of $506 billion also reached a new record, growing 6% compared to last year’s June and 4% compared to the preceding March. These records are expected to be surpassed in the fourth quarter, as we are on target to close the acquisition of the US Private Client Services unit of Deutsche Bank Wealth Management in September. We are also excited about the pending 3Macs acquisition, which we are confident will be a high-quality addition to our Private Client Group in Canada. Quarterly net revenues in the Capital Markets segment of $251.6 million increased 8% over last year’s June quarter and 6% over the preceding quarter. Pre-tax income in the quarter of $32.8 million was up a substantial 79% over last year’s fiscal third quarter and 17% over the preceding quarter. The segment’s results in the quarter were lifted by record trading profits as well as an improvement in both institutional equity and fixed income commissions compared to the year-ago quarter. Trading profits and institutional commissions were aided by increased market volatility in June following the “Brexit” vote. After suffering from a dearth of equity underwriting activity over the past


 
12 months, we are cautiously optimistic about our investment banking pipelines, which should be helped by more stable commodity prices as well as our acquisition during the quarter of Mummert & Company, which enhances our M&A platform in Europe. The Asset Management segment generated record quarterly net revenues of $100.9 million, improving 2% over last year’s June quarter and 4% over the preceding March quarter. Quarterly pre-tax income in the segment was $32.5 million, up 3% on a year-over-year basis and 4% sequentially. Financial assets under management finished the quarter at $71.7 billion, a new record, lifted by increased managed account utilization in our Private Client Group segment in addition to market appreciation. Raymond James Bank’s quarterly net revenues of $126.6 million reached a new record, growing an impressive 22% over last year’s fiscal third quarter and 1% over the preceding quarter. Pre-tax income of $88.9 million for the quarter also represented a new record, rising 14% compared to the June 2015 quarter and 4% compared to the preceding March quarter. The bank’s record results were primarily attributable to attractive growth of its outstanding loan balances as well as the relatively consistent credit quality of the loan portfolio. Net loans in Raymond James Bank grew a noteworthy 23% over June 2015 to a record $14.8 billion, and the bank’s net interest margin was relatively resilient at 3.10% for the quarter. Total revenues in the “Other” segment, which consists primarily of private equity valuation gains, were $17.2 million, of which $7.4 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests. Pre-tax income in the segment was also impacted by the aforementioned $13.4 million of acquisition-related expenses during the quarter. There were several other notable accomplishments during the quarter. In June, Raymond James was named to the Fortune 500 list. During the quarter, we also extended the naming rights for Raymond James Stadium by 12 years through the 2027 season. Many of our associates and affiliated financial advisors also earned noteworthy accolades during the quarter, including: five advisors being named to the Barron’s list of 2016 Top Women Financial Advisors, six program managers within our Financial Institutions Division were named to Bank Investment Consultant’s list of Top 20 Program Managers, and advisor Darin Robert Shebesta and Raymond James Network for Women Advisors’ Michelle Lynch were named to InvestmentNews’ Top 40 under 40. Within Investment Banking, Raymond James was recognized with two honors by The M&A Advisor: Technology Deal of the Year for the over $250 million category as well as Corporate & Strategic Acquisition of the Year for the $100 million to $500 million category. Also, for the second year in a row, our restructuring team won Turnaround Deal of the Year from the Global M&A Network. As discussed earlier in this letter, our fiscal year-to-date results have been adversely impacted by elevated legal and regulatory expenses associated with historical AML deficiencies. Specifically, during the quarter, FINRA announced a $17 million fine and the state of Vermont announced a $6 million settlement ($4.5 million of which will be set aside for possible future claims by investors) that both essentially related to our past failure to establish and implement adequate AML procedures to properly detect and prevent suspicious activity. We take these responsibilities very seriously, and we have made significant progress in addressing the shortcomings in our AML policies and procedures, including hiring a new Chief AML Officer, hiring an additional 50 associates on the AML team and implementing a new technology platform called Mantas, which is also utilized by several of the largest banks. Given the increasingly intense regulatory environment, all firms in our industry, including Raymond James, will be required to substantially increase their ongoing investments in regulatory compliance and risk management. Fortunately, we have the scale and resources to utilize state-of-the-art industry best practices and tools. The outlook for the rest of the calendar year is uncertain. Presidential elections always breed angst, and there is certainly no reason to believe the upcoming election will be any different. Furthermore, the real implications of the “Brexit” vote to Europe and the rest of the world will take at least one or two years to unravel. Finally, the direct and indirect consequences of the unprecedented support from central banks across the globe are incalculable. While we would not be surprised by increased market volatility over the next year or two, we remain absolutely confident the United States is relatively well-positioned in these uncertain times, as disposable income and household wealth continue to recover gradually, the unemployment
