RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL REPORTS 4TH QUARTER AND
FISCAL YEAR 2018 RESULTS
 

Record quarterly net revenues of $1.90 billion, up 12% over the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and 3% over the preceding quarter
Record quarterly net income of $262.7 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, and adjusted quarterly net income of $250.8 million(1), or $1.68 per diluted share(1) 
Record annual net revenues of $7.27 billion, record annual net income of $856.7 million, or $5.75 per diluted share, and adjusted annual net income of $964.8 million(1), or $6.47 per diluted share(1) 
Quarter-end records for client assets under administration of $790.4 billion, financial assets under management of $140.9 billion and net loans at Raymond James Bank of $19.5 billion
Record number of Private Client Group financial advisors of 7,813, net increases of 467(2) over September 2017 and 94 over June 2018


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla - Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE: RJF) today reported net revenues of $1.90 billion and net income of $262.7 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, for the fiscal fourth quarter ended September 30, 2018. Excluding an $11.9 million adjustment to the estimated impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), adjusted quarterly net income was $250.8 million(1), or $1.68 per diluted share(1). The record quarterly revenues and net income were driven by growth of Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts, higher net interest income and record investment banking revenues. Results during the quarter were negatively impacted by $11.9 million of unrealized losses on private equity investments and an increase in other expenses, largely attributable to elevated legal and regulatory reserves.

For fiscal year 2018, record net revenues of $7.27 billion increased 14%, record net income of $856.7 million increased 35%, and adjusted net income of $964.8 million(1) increased 26% compared to fiscal year 2017. Pre-tax income for fiscal year 2018 of $1.31 billion increased 42% over the prior year’s GAAP pre-tax income, and adjusted pre-tax income increased 17% over the prior year. Return on equity for fiscal year 2018 was 14.4%, and the adjusted return on equity was 16.0%(1).
    
“Our focus on attracting and retaining client-centric financial advisors and providing them with industry-leading tools and resources continues to produce record results,” said Chairman and CEO Paul Reilly. “It is especially gratifying to deliver shareholders an attractive return on equity in fiscal 2018, particularly given our strong capital position and the significant investments we made during the year.”

Segment Results

Private Client Group

Record quarterly net revenues of $1.31 billion, up 12% over the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and 2% over the preceding quarter
Quarterly pre-tax income of $131.2 million, down 8% compared to the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and down 1% compared to the preceding quarter
Record annual net revenues of $5.09 billion and record annual pre-tax income of $576.1 million
Record Private Client Group assets under administration of $755.7 billion, growth of 15% over September 2017 and 5% over June 2018
Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts of $366.3 billion, an increase of 24% over September 2017 and 7% over June 2018
Record number of Private Client Group financial advisors of 7,813, net increases of 467(2) over September 2017 and 94 over June 2018

Record net revenues for both the quarter and fiscal year were primarily driven by growth of assets in fee-based accounts, which represented 48% of the segment’s total client assets under administration at the end of the quarter. While the segment generated record pre-tax income for the fiscal year, the quarterly pre-tax income was down compared to the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and the preceding quarter, largely due to higher compensation expense as well as elevated legal and regulatory reserves.

“Fiscal year 2018 was a record year for financial advisor recruiting, and retention of advisors remained excellent,” said Reilly. “Our focus on serving advisors and their clients continues to resonate with high-quality financial advisors across all of our affiliation options.”


Capital Markets

Quarterly net revenues of $274.8 million, up 3% over the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and 14% over the preceding quarter
Quarterly pre-tax income of $47.9 million, up 9% over the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and 120% over the preceding quarter
Annual net revenues of $963.8 million and annual pre-tax income of $90.6 million
Record quarterly and annual investment banking revenues of $155.0 million and $440.8 million, respectively

Record M&A results drove record total investment banking revenues for the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018, despite declines in both equity and fixed income underwriting. Investment banking revenues during the quarter were also helped by a surge in tax credit funds syndication fees, which ended the year down just 5% compared to fiscal year 2017 despite significant disruption following corporate tax reform. The market environment for institutional equity and fixed income commissions remained difficult during the quarter.

“Record M&A results muted the declines in underwriting revenues and institutional commissions during the fiscal year,” said Reilly. “While the M&A pipeline remains robust, we continue to expect industry headwinds for institutional equity and fixed income commissions.”

Asset Management

Record quarterly net revenues of $172.4 million, up 31% over the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and 3% over the preceding quarter
Record quarterly pre-tax income of $63.8 million, up 31% over the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and 9% over the preceding quarter
Record annual net revenues of $654.4 million and record annual pre-tax income of $235.3 million, representing increases of 34% and 37% over fiscal 2017, respectively
Quarter-end record for financial assets under management of $140.9 billion, representing growth of 46% over September 2017 and 4% over June 2018

Record quarterly and annual results for the Asset Management segment were attributable to the growth of financial assets under management, which reflected net inflows into fee-based accounts in the Private Client Group, equity market appreciation and the addition of $27 billion of assets from the Scout and Reams acquisition in November 2017.
  

Raymond James Bank

Record quarterly net revenues of $194.9 million, up 20% over the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and 4% over the preceding quarter
Record quarterly pre-tax income of $130.4 million, up 15% over the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and 1% over the preceding quarter
Record annual net revenues of $726.7 million and record annual pre-tax income of $491.8 million, representing increases of 23% and 20% over fiscal 2017, respectively
Record net loans of $19.5 billion, representing growth of 15% over September 2017 and 3% over June 2018
Net interest margin of 3.27% for the quarter, up 16 basis points over the prior year’s fiscal fourth quarter and down 3 basis points compared to the preceding quarter

Record results were lifted by broad-based loan growth and the year-over-year expansion of the net interest margin, which improved 12 basis points from 3.10% in fiscal 2017 to 3.22% in fiscal year 2018. Credit metrics continued to improve, with criticized loans decreasing 12% compared to September 2017 and 2% compared to June 2018. Criticized loans as a percentage of total loans of 1.18% improved from 1.54% in September 2017 and 1.24% in June 2018.


Other

Quarterly revenues in the Other segment were negatively impacted by $11.9 million of unrealized losses associated with private equity investments, of which $4.6 million is attributable to noncontrolling interests. During the quarter, there was an $11.9 million reduction to the estimated impact of the Tax Act, which lowered the effective tax rate for the quarter to 25.4%. The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2018 was 34.8%, which reflected the impact of the Tax Act. Excluding the impact of the Tax Act, the adjusted effective tax rate was 28.8%(1) for the quarter and 26.7%(1) for fiscal year 2018. During the quarter, the firm repurchased approximately 401,000 shares of common stock for $36.4 million, or approximately $90.60 per share.

“I am proud of our advisors and associates for their unwavering dedication to helping clients achieve their financial objectives,” said Reilly. “Our continued focus on serving clients has enabled Raymond James to generate record revenues and earnings in fiscal year 2018. We are well positioned entering fiscal year 2019, with records for almost all key business drivers, high levels of satisfaction from our financial advisors and strong interest from prospective financial advisors. However, the heightened market volatility in October and the industrywide pressure on client cash balances serve as a reminder that we should always remain prepared for potential headwinds.”

Raymond James Financial, Inc.
Reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures
(Unaudited)

We utilize certain non-GAAP calculations as additional measures to aid in, and enhance, the understanding of our financial results and related measures. We believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information by excluding certain material items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures will allow for better evaluation of the operating performance of the business and facilitate a meaningful comparison of our results in the current period to those in prior and future periods. In the case of tangible book value per share, we believe that this measure is meaningful as it is a measure we and investors use to assess capital strength. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures for the periods which include non-GAAP adjustments.

See the schedule on the previous page of this release for a reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and for more information on these measures. There were no non-GAAP adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2018, therefore percent changes for the quarter are calculated based on GAAP results.

Tangible total equity is defined as total equity attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc. less goodwill and intangible assets, net of related deferred taxes.

9.

Computed by dividing compensation, commissions and benefits expense by net revenues for each respective period.

11.
Computed by dividing pre-tax income attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc. by net revenues for each respective period or, in the case of adjusted pre-tax margin on net revenues, computed by dividing adjusted pre-tax income attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc. by net revenues for each respective period.

14.
Represents the loan balance for all loans within the held for investment loan portfolio in the Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss classifications as utilized by the banking regulators.

For the year-to-date period, computed by adding the total equity attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc. as of each quarter-end date during the indicated year-to-date period to the beginning of the year total and dividing by five. Adjusted average equity is computed by adjusting for the impact on average equity of the non-GAAP adjustments, as applicable for each respective period.
