RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER

FISCAL YEAR 2019 RESULTS


•	Record quarterly net revenues of $1.93 billion, up 12% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 2% over the preceding quarter


•	Quarterly net income of $249 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, and adjusted quarterly net income of $264 million⁽¹⁾, or $1.79 per diluted share⁽¹⁾


•	Client assets under administration of $725.4 billion, financial assets under management of $126.5 billion and total Private Client Group financial advisors of 7,815


•	Record net loans at Raymond James Bank of $19.9 billion


•	Annualized return on equity for the quarter of 15.9% and adjusted annualized return on equity for the quarter of 16.9%⁽¹⁾

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE: RJF) today reported net revenues of $1.93 billion and net income of $249 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, for the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2018. Excluding a $15 million loss associated with the sale of the European equity research business⁽²⁾during the quarter, adjusted quarterly net income was $264 million⁽¹⁾, or $1.79 per diluted share⁽¹⁾. Revenue growth was largely attributable to beginning the quarter with higher Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts, as well as higher net interest income, primarily at Raymond James Bank.

In the fiscal first quarter, the firm repurchased 6.1 million shares of common stock for $458 million at an average price of approximately $75.70 per share. As of December 31, 2018, $255 million of availability remained under the $500 million share repurchase authorization announced on November 29, 2018.

“Despite the challenging market environment, the Private Client Group segment, Asset Management segment and Raymond James Bank generated record net revenues during the quarter,” said Chairman and CEO Paul Reilly. “We acted opportunistically during the quarter to deploy capital through share repurchases, as well as the recently-announced niche acquisition of Silver Lane Advisors to complement and expand our investment banking business.”

Segment Results

Private Client Group


•	Record quarterly net revenues of $1.36 billion, up 10% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 4% over the preceding quarter


•	Record quarterly pre-tax income of $164 million, up 6% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 25% over the preceding quarter


•	Private Client Group assets under administration of $690.7 billion, flat with December 2017 and down 9% compared to September 2018 due to the equity market decline during the quarter


•	Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts of $338.8 billion, an increase of 7% over December 2017 and a decline of 8% compared to September 2018


•	Number of Private Client Group financial advisors of 7,815 increased 278 over December 2017 and two over September 2018

Revenue growth during the quarter was mostly driven by higher assets in fee-based accounts at the beginning the quarter partially offset by the decline in brokerage revenues. As assets in fee-based accounts are billed primarily on balances at the beginning of the quarter, the 8% sequential decline of assets in fee-based accounts during the quarter will negatively impact asset management fees in the fiscal second quarter. Growth of Raymond James Bank Deposit Program (RJBDP) fees was primarily driven by higher short-term interest rates and an increase in the internal servicing fee paid by Raymond James Bank to the Private Client Group. Clients’ domestic cash sweep balances of $46.8 billion increased substantially due to the elevated market volatility during the quarter.

“We continue to experience strong levels of interest from prospective advisors across all of our affiliation options and benefit from low regrettable attrition of existing advisors,” said Reilly. “The net addition of financial advisors was low relative to recent quarters, partly due to a large number of planned retirements where the firm retained the vast majority of the client assets.”

Capital Markets


•	Quarterly net revenues of $253 million, up 17% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and down 8% compared to the preceding quarter


•	Quarterly pre-tax income of $12 million, negatively impacted by a $15 million loss associated with the sale of the European equity research business⁽²⁾


•	Investment banking revenues of $129 million, an increase of 59% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and a decline of 9% compared to the record set in the preceding quarter

Compared to the prior year’s fiscal first quarter, net revenues grew 17% as higher M&A revenues and equity underwriting fees more than offset the decline in fixed income brokerage revenues. The decline in net revenues compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a sequential decrease in M&A revenues and tax credit fund revenues, which both set records in the preceding quarter. Partially offsetting these declines was a 27% sequential increase in equity brokerage revenues, which were helped by the spike in market volatility during the quarter.

“While we exited the European equity research business during the quarter, we will continue providing European clients with our North American equity research, which we have been doing successfully for over 30 years,” said Reilly. “We are excited to welcome Silver Lane Advisors to the Raymond James family, strengthening our M&A platform with deep expertise in the asset and wealth management sectors. This transaction is expected to close by April 2019.”

Asset Management


•	Record quarterly net revenues of $174 million, up 15% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 1% over the preceding quarter


•	Quarterly pre-tax income of $64 million, an increase of 12% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and essentially flat with the preceding quarter


•	Financial assets under management of $126.5 billion, down 3% compared to December 2017 and 10% compared to September 2018, largely due to the equity market decline during the quarter

Despite net inflows for the Asset Management Services division, financial assets under management were negatively impacted by the market decline and net outflows for Carillon Tower Advisers during the quarter.

Raymond James Bank


•	Record quarterly net revenues of $203 million, up 23% over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 4% over the preceding quarter


•	Quarterly pre-tax income of $110 million, down 4% compared to the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and 15% compared to the preceding quarter


•	Record net loans of $19.9 billion, representing growth of 12% over December 2017 and 2% over September 2018


•	Net interest margin of 3.25% for the quarter, up 17 basis points over the prior year’s fiscal first quarter and down 2 basis points compared to the preceding quarter

Broad-based loan growth and the year-over-year expansion of net interest margin drove record quarterly revenues. The modest sequential decline in the net interest margin to 3.25% from 3.27% in the preceding quarter was largely attributable to the substantial increase in cash balances, which are lower yielding, during the quarter. Despite solid revenue growth, pre-tax income was negatively impacted by an increase in the internal servicing fee paid to the Private Client Group segment related to RJBDP accounts and an increase in the loan loss provision. Of the $16 million sequential increase in the RJBDP fees paid by Raymond James Bank to the Private Client Group, approximately $14 million was driven by the higher internal servicing fee rate. The increase in the loan loss provision was largely attributable to loan growth and provisions related to certain credits downgraded during the quarter. The downgrades were limited to a small number of credits across multiple industries and are not indicative of overall deterioration of the portfolio, as evidenced by criticized loans as a percent of total loans actually declining to 1.13% from 1.32% in December 2017 and 1.18% in September 2018.

A conference call to discuss the results will take place tomorrow morning, Thursday, January 24th, at 8:15 a.m. ET.

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 table below, the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments reflects the statutory rate associated with each non-GAAP item. 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.

Footnotes


1.	These are non-GAAP measures. 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.


2.	The three months ended December 31, 2018 includes a loss in our Capital Markets segment on the sale of our operations related to research, sales and trading of European equities.


3.	Excludes noncontrolling interests.

Effective October 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 “Revenues from Contracts With Customers”. As a result of adoption, we have changed the presentation of certain costs related to investment banking transactions and certain administrative costs associated with RJBDP from a net presentation within revenues to a gross presentation. These changes were made on a prospective basis beginning with our first fiscal quarter of 2019 and did not have an impact on our pre-tax income. The related expenses are now presented in Professional fees and Other expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.


5.	The Other segment includes the results of our private equity activities, as well as certain corporate overhead costs of Raymond James Financial, Inc., including the interest costs on our public debt, and the acquisition and integration costs associated with certain acquisitions.

We have reclassified certain revenues among income statement line items and renamed certain line items. See the Report on Form 8-K dated November 28, 2018 (available at www.sec.gov) for additional information. In addition, we have reclassified certain expenses between income statement line items and present Professional fees separately from Other Expenses. Prior period results have been conformed to the current presentation.

Professional fees include audit fees, non-technology-related consulting fees and external legal fees (excluding legal or regulatory provisions) which were previously included within Other expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Professional fees also include, prospectively upon adoption of new accounting guidance on October 1, 2018, deal-related expenses which were previously netted against Investment banking revenues.

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, computed by dividing tangible total equity by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of each respective period. 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 annualized net income attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc. by average equity for each respective period or, in the case of adjusted return on equity, computed by dividing annualized adjusted net income attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc. by adjusted average equity for each respective period.


10.	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.


12.	Estimated.


13.	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 RJ Bank and various third-party banks. Fees earned by PCG on RJ Bank deposits are eliminated in consolidation.


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


15.	The impact of the Tax Act includes the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets at the lower enacted corporate tax rate and, to a lesser extent, a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries.


16.	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. Adjusted average equity is computed by adjusting for the impact on average equity of the non-GAAP adjustments, as applicable for each respective period.
