RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2013

NOTE 1 – INTRODUCTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of business

Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF”) is a financial holding company headquartered in Florida whose broker-dealer subsidiaries are engaged in various financial service businesses, including the underwriting, distribution, trading and brokerage of equity and debt securities and the sale of mutual funds and other investment products.  In addition, other subsidiaries of RJF provide investment management services for retail and institutional clients, corporate and retail banking, and trust services.  As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” or “us” refer to RJF and/or one or more of its subsidiaries.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RJF and its consolidated subsidiaries that are generally controlled through a majority voting interest. We consolidate all of our 100% owned subsidiaries. In addition we consolidate any variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary. Additional information on these VIEs is provided in Note 2 on pages 114 - 117 in the section titled, “Evaluation of VIEs to determine whether consolidation is required” as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2012 Form 10-K”) and in Note 9 herein. When we do not have a controlling interest in an entity, but we exert significant influence over the entity, we apply the equity method of accounting. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting estimates and assumptions

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) but not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The nature of our business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2012 Form 10-K. To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions

On December 24, 2012, we completed our acquisition of a 45% interest in ClariVest Asset Management, LLC (“ClariVest”), an acquisition that bolsters our platform in the large-cap strategy space. See Note 3 for additional information.

On April 2, 2012 (the “Closing Date”) RJF completed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. (a broker-dealer hereinafter referred to as “MK & Co.”) and MK Holding, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively referred to hereinafter as “Morgan Keegan”) from Regions Financial Corporation (“Regions”).  This acquisition expands both our private client and our capital markets businesses. See Note 3 for further information regarding our acquisition of Morgan Keegan. The results of operations of Morgan Keegan have been included in our results prospectively from April 2, 2012.


10


Significant subsidiaries

As of June 30, 2013, our significant subsidiaries, all wholly owned, include: Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJ&A”) a domestic broker-dealer carrying client accounts, Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. (“RJFS”) an introducing domestic broker-dealer, Raymond James Ltd. (“RJ Ltd.”) a broker-dealer headquartered in Canada, Eagle Asset Management, Inc., and Raymond James Bank, N.A. (“RJ Bank”), a national bank. In mid-February 2013, the client accounts of MK & Co. were transferred to RJ&A pursuant to our Morgan Keegan acquisition integration strategy (see Note 3 for additional information regarding the Morgan Keegan acquisition).

NOTE 2 – UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 on pages 100 - 117 of our 2012 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies since September 30, 2012.
Brokerage client receivables, loans to financial advisors and allowance for doubtful accounts
As more fully described in Note 2, page 107, of our 2012 Form 10-K, we have certain financing receivables that arise from businesses other than our banking business. Specifically, we offer loans to financial advisors and certain key revenue producers, primarily for recruiting and retention purposes. We present the outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of their applicable allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance associated with all of our loans to financial advisors is $2.8 million and $2.5 million at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. Of the June 30, 2013 loans to financial advisors, the portion of the balance associated with financial advisors who are no longer affiliated with us, after consideration of the allowance for doubtful accounts, is approximately $1.7 million.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts, none of which are material, have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

On December 24, 2012, (the “ClariVest Acquisition Date”) we completed our acquisition of a 45% interest in ClariVest, an acquisition that bolsters our platform in the large-cap strategy space. On the ClariVest Acquisition Date, we paid approximately $8.8 million in cash to the sellers for our interest. On the first anniversary of the ClariVest Acquisition Date, a computation based upon the actual earnings of ClariVest during the one year period will be performed and additional consideration may be owed to the sellers within 45 days thereof.

As of the ClariVest Acquisition Date, it managed more than $3.1 billion in client assets and marketed its investment advisory services to corporate and public pension plans, foundations, endowments and Taft-Hartley clients worldwide. As a result of certain protective rights we have under the operating agreement with ClariVest, we are consolidating ClariVest in our financial statements as of the ClariVest Acquisition Date. In addition, a put and call agreement was entered into on the ClariVest Acquisition Date that provides our wholly owned Eagle Asset Management, Inc. subsidiary with various paths to majority ownership in ClariVest, the timing of which would depend upon the financial results of ClariVest’s business and the tenure of existing ClariVest management. The results of operations of ClariVest have been included in our results prospectively since December 24, 2012. For the purposes of certain acquisition related financial reporting requirements, the ClariVest acquisition is not considered to be material to our overall financial condition.

See Note 10 for information regarding the identifiable intangible assets we recorded as a result of the ClariVest acquisition.

Prior year acquisition of Morgan Keegan

On April 2, 2012 RJF completed its acquisition of Morgan Keegan. For a discussion of the significant terms of this acquisition, see Note 3 on pages 118 - 121 in our 2012 Form 10-K.  

In February 2013, we successfully completed the transfer of client accounts from MK & Co. to RJ&A and as a result, are now operating all of the retained historical MK & Co. operations under one (the RJ&A) platform.

11



Selected Unaudited Pro forma financial information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information assumes the Morgan Keegan acquisition had been completed as of October 1, 2011. Pro forma results have been prepared by adjusting our historical results to include Morgan Keegan’s results of operations adjusted for the following: amortization expense related to the identifiable intangible assets arising from the acquisition; interest expense to reflect the impact of senior notes issued in March 2012; incremental bonus expense resulting from the bonus agreements made for retention purposes to certain Morgan Keegan financial advisors, incremental compensation expense related to restricted stock units granted to certain executives and key revenue producers for retention purposes; our acquisition expenses; a $545 million goodwill impairment charge included in Morgan Keegan’s pre-Closing Date financial statements directly resulting from the transaction; and the applicable tax effect of each adjustment described above. The weighted average common shares used in the computation of both pro forma basic and pro forma diluted earnings per share were adjusted to reflect that the issuance of additional RJF shares that occurred in February 2012 had been outstanding for the entirety of each respective period presented.

The unaudited pro forma results presented do not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented, nor does it indicate the results of operations in future periods. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma results do not include the impact of possible business model changes, nor does it consider any potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues, reduction of expenses, asset dispositions, or other factors. The impact of these items could alter the following unaudited pro forma results.

(1)
We had $755 thousand in transfers of financial instruments from Level 1 to Level 2 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $860 thousand in transfers of financial instruments from Level 1 to Level 2 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.  These transfers were a result of a decrease in availability and reliability of the observable inputs utilized in the respective instruments’ fair value measurement. We had $233 thousand in transfers of financial instruments from Level 2 to Level 1 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $401 thousand in transfers of financial instruments from Level 2 to Level 1 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.  These transfers were a result of an increase in availability and reliability of the observable inputs utilized in the respective instruments’ fair value measurement.  Our policy is that the end of each respective quarterly reporting period determines when transfers of financial instruments between levels are recognized.

(2)
Where permitted, we have elected to net derivative receivables and derivative payables and the related cash collateral received and paid when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists.

(3)
Includes $55 million of Jefferson County, Alabama Limited Obligation School Warrants ARS and $25 million of Jefferson County, Alabama Sewer Revenue Refunding Warrants ARS.

(4)
Includes $218 million in private equity investments, the weighted-average portion we own is approximately 40%. Effectively, the economics associated with the portions of these investments we do not own become a component of noncontrolling interests on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and amounted to approximately $62 million of that total as of June 30, 2013.

(5)
Other investments include $171 million of financial instruments that are related to MK & Co.’s obligations to perform under certain of its historic deferred compensation plans (see Note 2 page 114, and Note 23 page 170, of our 2012 Form 10-K for further information regarding these plans).

(6)
Goodwill fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are generally determined using unobservable inputs. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the annual impairment analysis and our methods of estimating the fair value of reporting units that have an allocation of goodwill, including the key assumptions.

(7)
Includes individual loans classified as held for sale, which were recorded at a fair value lower than cost.

(8)
Represents the fair value of foreclosed properties which were measured at a fair value subsequent to their initial classification as OREO. The recorded value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition is net of the estimated selling costs.

(9)
Primarily comprised of forward commitments to purchase GNMA (as hereinafter defined) MBS arising from our fixed income public finance operations (see Note 16 for additional information regarding these commitments) and to a much lesser extent, other certain commitments.

(1)
We had no transfers of financial instruments from Level 1 to Level 2 during the year ended September 30, 2012.  We had $541 thousand in transfers of financial instruments from Level 2 to Level 1 during the year ended September 30, 2012.  These transfers were a result of an increase in availability and reliability of the observable inputs utilized in the respective instruments’ fair value measurement.  Our policy is that the end of each respective quarterly reporting period determines when transfers of financial instruments between levels are recognized.

(2)
Where permitted, we have elected to net derivative receivables and derivative payables and the related cash collateral received and paid when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists.

(3)
Includes $48 million of Jefferson County, Alabama Limited Obligation School Warrants ARS and $22 million of Jefferson County, Alabama Sewer Revenue Refunding Warrants ARS.

(4)
Includes $224 million in private equity investments of which the weighted-average portion we own is approximately 28%.  Effectively, the economics associated with the portions of these investments we do not own become a component of noncontrolling interests on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and amounted to approximately $161 million of that total as of September 30, 2012.

(5)
Other investments include $185 million of financial instruments that are related to MK & Co.’s obligations to perform under certain of its deferred compensation plans (see Note 2 page 114, and Note 23, page 170, of our 2012 Form 10-K for further information regarding these plans).

(6)
During the year ended September 30, 2012, we initially transferred $55 million of impaired loans from Level 3 to Level 2. The transfer was a result of the increase in availability and reliability of the observable inputs utilized in the respective instruments’ fair value measurement.  Our analysis indicates that comparative sales data is a reasonable estimate of fair value, therefore, more consideration was given to this observable input.

(7)
Includes individual loans classified as held for sale, which were recorded at a fair value lower than cost.

(8)
Represents the fair value of foreclosed properties which were measured at a fair value subsequent to their initial classification as OREO. The recorded value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition is net of the estimated selling costs.

The adjustment to fair value of the nonrecurring fair value measures for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 resulted in $5.5 million in additional provision for loan losses and $2.7 million in other losses.

(3)
During the nine month period ended June 30, 2012, we transferred certain securities which were previously included in Level 2, non-agency CMOs and ABS.

(4)
The transfers out of Level 3 were a result of an increase in availability and reliability of the observable inputs utilized in the respective instruments’ fair value measurement. Our policy is that the end of each respective quarterly reporting period determines when transfers of financial instruments between levels are recognized.

As of June 30, 2013, 8.2% of our assets and 2% of our liabilities are instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  Instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3 as of June 30, 2013 represent 25.8% of our assets measured at fair value. In comparison, as of June 30, 2012, 12.7% and 3.8% of our assets and liabilities, respectively, represented instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  Instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3 as of June 30, 2012 represented 21.7% of our assets measured at fair value. The balances of our level 3 assets have decreased compared to June 30, 2012, primarily as a result the sale of Albion in our private equity portfolio (partially offset by valuation increases in that portfolio) and the sale or redemption of a portion of our ARS portfolio. Level 3 instruments as a percentage of total financial instruments increased by 4% as compared to June 30, 2012. Total financial instruments at June 30, 2013, primarily trading instruments, derivative instruments associated with offsetting matched book positions, and other investments which are not level 3 financial instruments decreased as compared to both September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, impacting the calculation of Level 3 assets as a percentage of total financial instruments.  

Gains and losses included in earnings are presented in net trading (loss) profit and other revenues in our Condensed Consolidated

Footnote explanations pertaining to the table on the previous page:

(a)
Management utilizes an internal model which projects the outcome of various scenarios which management believes market participants are evaluating as likely possible outcomes impacting the value of the security.  Values presented represent the range of fair values associated with the various potential scenarios.

(b)
Management estimates that market participants apply this range of either discount or premium, as applicable, to the limited observable trade data in order to assess the value of the securities within this portfolio segment.

(c)
Represents amounts used when we have determined that market participants would take these discounts into account when pricing the investments.

(d)
Future interest rates are projected based upon a forward interest rate curve, plus a spread over such projected base rate that is applicable to each future period for each security within this portfolio segment.  The interest rates presented represent the average interest rate over all projected periods for securities within the portfolio segment.

(e)
Assumed year of at least a partial redemption of the outstanding security by the issuer.

(f)
Certain direct private equity investments are valued initially at the transaction price until significant transactions or developments indicate that a change in the carrying values of these investments is appropriate.

(g)
The valuation techniques used for the impaired corporate loan portfolio as of June 30, 2013 were appraisals less selling costs for the collateral dependent loans, and either discounted cash flows or distressed enterprise value for the remaining impaired loans that are not collateral dependent.

Qualitative disclosure about unobservable inputs

For our recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in significant unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those unobservable inputs are described below:

Auction rate securities:

One of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of auction rate securities presented within our available for sale securities portfolio relates to judgments regarding whether the level of observable trading activity is sufficient to conclude markets are active.  Where insufficient levels of trading activity are determined to exist as of the reporting date, then management’s assessment of how much weight to apply to trading prices in inactive markets versus management’s own valuation models could significantly impact the valuation conclusion.  The valuation of the securities impacted by changes in management’s assessment of market activity levels could be either higher or lower, depending upon the relationship of the inactive trading prices compared to the outcome of management’s internal valuation models.

The future interest rate and maturity assumptions impacting the valuation of the auction rate securities are directly related.  As short-term interest rates rise, due to the variable nature of the penalty interest rate provisions embedded in most of these securities in the event auctions fail to set the security’s interest rate, then a penalty rate that is specified in the security increases.  These penalty rates are based upon a stated interest rate spread over what is typically a short-term base interest rate index.  Management estimates that at some level of increase in short-term interest rates, issuers of the securities will have the economic incentive to refinance (and thus prepay) the securities.  Therefore, the short-term interest rate assumption directly impacts the input related to the timing of any projected prepayment.  The faster and steeper short-term interest rates rise, the earlier prepayments will likely occur and the higher the fair value of the security.

24



Private equity investments:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of private equity investments relate to the financial performance of the investment entity and the market’s required return on investments from entities in industries in which we hold investments.  Significant increases (or decreases) in our investment entities’ future economic performance will have a directly proportional impact on the valuation results.  The value of our investment moves inversely with the market’s expectation of returns from such investments.  Should the market require higher returns from industries in which we are invested, all other factors held constant, our investments will decrease in value.  Should the market accept lower returns from industries in which we are invested, all other factors held constant, our investments will increase in value.

Fair value option

The fair value option is an accounting election that allows the reporting entity to apply fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities on an instrument by instrument basis.  As of June 30, 2013, we have elected not to choose the fair value option for any of our financial assets or liabilities not already recorded at fair value.

Other fair value disclosures

Many, but not all, of the financial instruments we hold are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Refer to Note 5, pages 132 - 133, of our 2012 Form 10-K for discussion of the methods and assumptions we apply to the determination of fair value of our financial instruments that are not otherwise recorded at fair value.

NOTE 7 – AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES

Available for sale securities are comprised of MBS and CMOs owned by RJ Bank, ARS and for certain prior periods various equity securities owned by our non-broker-dealer subsidiaries. Refer to the discussion of our available for sale securities accounting policies, including the fair value determination process, on Note 2 pages 103 - 105 in our 2012 Form 10-K.

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2013, ARS were redeemed by their issuer at par, sold at amounts approximating their par value pursuant to tender offers or sold in market transactions. Altogether, such transactions resulted in proceeds of $13.8 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2013 and a gain of $355 thousand and $1.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, which is recorded in other revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. During the nine month period ended June 30, 2012, ARS with an aggregate par value of approximately $75 million were redeemed by their issuer at par; a gain of $343 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2012 was recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income on the ARS securities which were subject to these redemptions.

During the nine month period ended June 30, 2013, the other securities, which were equity securities, in our available for sale securities portfolio that had been held by our non-broker-dealer subsidiaries were sold, resulting in $13 thousand in proceeds and an insignificant gain on sale during the nine month period then ended. There were no proceeds from the sale of other available for sale securities during the nine month period ended June 30, 2012.

The contractual maturities, amortized cost, carrying values and current yields for our available for sale securities are as presented below.  Since RJ Bank’s available for sale securities are backed by mortgages, actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.  Expected maturities of ARS and other securities may differ significantly from contractual maturities, as issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The reference point for determining when securities are in a loss position is the reporting period end. As such, it is possible that a security had a fair value that exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the period.

Agency MBS and CMOs

The Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), as well as the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), guarantee the contractual cash flows of the agency MBS and CMOs. At June 30, 2013, of the 23 of our U.S. government-sponsored enterprise MBS and CMOs in an unrealized loss position, 11 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and 12 were for 12 months or more.  We do not consider these securities other-than-temporarily impaired due to the guarantee provided by FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA as to the full payment of principal and interest, and the fact that we have the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity.

Non-agency CMOs

All individual non-agency securities are evaluated for OTTI on a quarterly basis.  Only those non-agency CMOs whose amortized cost basis we do not expect to recover in full are considered to be other than temporarily impaired as we have the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity.  To assess whether the amortized cost basis of non-agency CMOs will be recovered, RJ Bank performs a cash flow analysis for each security.  This comprehensive process considers borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying each security.  Loan level analysis includes a review of historical default rates, loss severities, liquidations, prepayment speeds and delinquency trends.  In addition to historical details, home prices and the economic outlook are considered to derive the assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model to project security specific cash flows, which factors in the amount of credit enhancement specific to the security.  The difference between the present value of the cash flows expected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss and is recorded as OTTI.

The significant assumptions used in the cash flow analysis of non-agency CMOs are as follows:
 
June 30, 2013

At June 30, 2013, 22 of the 24 non-agency CMOs were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more and two were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.  As of June 30, 2013 and including subsequent ratings changes, $12.8 million of the non-agency CMOs were rated investment grade by at least one rating agency, and $121.3 million were rated less than investment grade, which ranged from Ba1 to D.  Given the comprehensive analysis process utilized, these ratings are not a significant factor in the overall OTTI evaluation process.  

Based on the expected cash flows derived from the model utilized in our analysis, we expect to recover all unrealized losses not already recorded in earnings on our non-agency CMOs. However, it is possible that the underlying loan collateral of these securities will perform worse than current expectations, which may lead to adverse changes in the cash flows expected to be collected on these securities and potential future OTTI losses. As residential mortgage loans are the underlying collateral of these securities, the unrealized losses at June 30, 2013 reflect the lack of liquidity and uncertainty in the markets.

ARS

Our cost basis in the ARS we hold is the fair value of the securities in the period in which we acquired them. Only those ARS whose amortized cost basis we do not expect to recover in full are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as we have the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity.

Within our municipal ARS holdings, we hold Jefferson County, Alabama Limited Obligation School Warrants ARS (“Jeff Co. Schools ARS”) and Jefferson County, Alabama Sewer Revenue Refunding Warrants ARS (“Jeff Co. Sewers ARS”).  In the prior fiscal year, Jefferson County, Alabama filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama; this proceeding is on-going.  

Within our ARS preferred securities, we analyze the credit ratings associated with each security as an indicator of potential credit impairment. As of June 30, 2013 and including subsequent ratings changes, all of the ARS preferred securities were rated investment grade by at least one rating agency.

Other-than-temporarily impaired securities

Although there is no intent to sell either our ARS or our non-agency CMOs and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities, we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of certain securities within these portfolios.

Changes in the amount of OTTI related to credit losses recognized in other revenues on available for sale securities are as follows:

NOTE 8 – BANK LOANS, NET

Bank client receivables are comprised of loans originated or purchased by RJ Bank and include commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, as well as consumer loans. These receivables are collateralized by first or second mortgages on residential or other real property, other assets of the borrower, or are unsecured.

For a discussion of our accounting policies regarding bank loans and allowances for losses, including the policies regarding loans held for investment, loans held for sale, off-balance sheet loan commitments, nonperforming assets, troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), impaired loans, the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments, and loan charge-off policies, see Note 2 pages 107 – 112 in our 2012 Form 10-K.

We segregate our loan portfolio into five loan portfolio segments: C&I, commercial real estate (“CRE”), CRE construction, residential mortgage and consumer. These portfolio segments also serve as the portfolio loan classes for purposes of credit analysis, except for residential mortgage loans which are further disaggregated into residential first mortgage and residential home equity classes.

The following table presents the balances for both the held for sale and held for investment loan portfolios as well as the associated percentage of each portfolio segment in RJ Bank’s total loan portfolio:

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, RJ Bank granted concessions to borrowers having financial difficulties, for which the resulting modification was deemed a TDR.  The concessions granted for first mortgage residential loans were generally interest rate reductions, interest capitalization, principal forbearance, amortization and maturity date extensions and release of liability ordered under Chapter 7 bankruptcy not reaffirmed by the borrower.  The table below presents the impact that TDRs which occurred during the respective periods presented had on our condensed consolidated financial statements:

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, there were no residential first mortgage TDRs for which there was a payment default and for which the respective loan was modified as a TDR within the 12 months prior to the default. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, there were two residential first mortgage TDRs with a recorded investment of $291 thousand that met this criteria. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, there were three and four residential first mortgage TDRs with a recorded investment of $641 thousand and $671 thousand, respectively, for which there was a payment default and for which the respective loan was modified as a TDR within the 12 months prior to the default.

As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, RJ Bank had no outstanding commitments on TDRs.

The credit quality of RJ Bank’s loan portfolio is summarized monthly by management using the standard asset classification system utilized by bank regulators for the residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolios and internal risk ratings, which correspond to the same standard asset classifications for the C&I, CRE construction, and CRE loan portfolios.  These classifications are divided into three groups:  Not Classified (Pass), Special Mention, and Classified or Adverse Rating (Substandard, Doubtful and Loss) and are defined as follows:

Pass – Loans which are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less costs to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner.

Special Mention – Loans which have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. These loans are not adversely classified and do not expose RJ Bank to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification.

Substandard – Loans which are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans with this classification are characterized by the distinct possibility that RJ Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans which have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values.

Loss – Loans which are considered by management to be uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance on RJ Bank’s books as an asset, without establishment of a specific valuation allowance or charge-off, is not warranted.  RJ Bank does not have any loan balances within this classification as in accordance with its accounting policy, loans, or a portion thereof considered to be uncollectible, are charged-off prior to the assignment of this classification.

RJ Bank’s credit quality of its held for investment loan portfolio is as follows:

Loans classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful are all considered to be “criticized” loans.

The credit quality of RJ Bank’s performing residential first mortgage loan portfolio is additionally assessed utilizing updated loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios.  RJ Bank further segregates all of its performing residential first mortgage loan portfolio with higher reserve percentages allocated to the higher LTV loans.  Current LTVs are updated using the most recently available information (generally on a one quarter lag) and are estimated based on the initial appraisal obtained at the time of origination, adjusted using relevant market indices for housing price changes that have occurred since origination.  The value of the homes could vary from actual market values due to change in the condition of the underlying property, variations in housing price changes within metropolitan statistical areas and other factors.

NOTE 9 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

A VIE requires consolidation by the entity’s primary beneficiary.  We evaluate all of the entities in which we are involved to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether we hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary.

We hold variable interests in the following VIE’s: Raymond James Employee Investment Funds I and II (the “EIF Funds”), a trust fund established for employee retention purposes (“Restricted Stock Trust Fund”), certain low-income housing tax credit funds (“LIHTC Funds”), various other partnerships and limited liability companies (“LLCs”) involving real estate (“Other Real Estate Limited Partnerships and LLCs”), certain new market tax credit funds (“NMTC Funds”) sponsored by affiliates of Morgan Keegan, and certain funds formed for the purpose of making and managing investments in securities of other entities (“Managed Funds”).

Refer to Note 2 pages 114 - 117 in our 2012 Form 10-K for a description of our principal involvement with VIEs and the accounting policies regarding the determinations of whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of any VIEs which we hold a variable interest.  Other than as described below, as of June 30, 2013 there have been no significant changes in either the nature of our involvement with, or the accounting policies associated with the analysis of VIEs as described in the 2012 Form 10-K.
 
Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc. (“RJTCF”), a wholly owned subsidiary of RJF, is the managing member or general partner in LIHTC Funds having one or more investor members or limited partners.  These LIHTC Funds are organized as limited partnerships or LLCs for the purpose of investing in a number of project partnerships, which are limited partnerships or LLCs that in turn purchase and develop low-income housing properties qualifying for tax credits.

VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary

Of the VIEs in which we hold an interest, we have determined that the EIF Funds, the Restricted Stock Trust Fund and certain LIHTC Funds require consolidation in our financial statements as we are deemed the primary beneficiary of those VIEs.  The aggregate assets and liabilities of the entities we consolidate are provided in the table below.

Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities differ from the consolidated carrying value of assets and liabilities due to the elimination of intercompany assets and liabilities held by the consolidated VIE.

Low-income housing tax credit funds

RJTCF is the managing member or general partner in approximately 81 separate low-income housing tax credit funds having one or more investor members or limited partners, 72 of which are determined to be VIEs and 9 of which are determined not to be VIEs. RJTCF has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of eight non-guaranteed LIHTC Fund VIEs and accordingly, consolidates these funds. One of the non-guaranteed LIHTC Funds previously consolidated was liquidated during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, RJTCF consolidates the one Guaranteed LIHTC Fund VIE it sponsors (see Note 16 for further discussion of the guarantee obligation as well as other RJTCF commitments).  RJTCF also consolidates four of the funds it determined not to be VIEs.


40


During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2013, RJ Bank invested as an investor member, in a low-income housing tax credit fund in which a subsidiary of RJTCF is the managing member. Although this fund was determined not to be a VIE, RJ Bank is consolidating this fund through the application of other applicable accounting guidance.

VIEs where we hold a variable interest but we are not the primary beneficiary

Low-income housing tax credit funds

RJTCF does not consolidate the LIHTC Fund VIEs that it determines it is not the primary beneficiary of. Our risk of loss is limited to our investments in, advances to, and receivables due from these funds.

New market tax credit funds

An affiliate of Morgan Keegan is the managing member of seven NMTC Funds and as discussed in Note 2 on page 117 of our 2012 Form 10-K, the affiliate of Morgan Keegan is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these NMTC Funds and, therefore, they are not consolidated. Our risk of loss is limited to our receivables due from these funds.

Other real estate limited partnerships and LLCs

We have a variable interest in several limited partnerships involved in various real estate activities in which a subsidiary is either the general partner or a limited partner. In addition, RJ Bank often has a variable interest in LLCs involved in foreclosure or obtaining deeds in lieu of foreclosure, as well as the disposal of the collateral associated with impaired syndicated loans. As discussed in Note 2 on page 117 of our 2012 Form 10-K, we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Accordingly, we do not consolidate these partnerships or LLCs. The carrying value of our investment in these partnerships or LLCs represents our risk of loss.

Aggregate assets, liabilities and risk of loss

The aggregate assets, liabilities, and our exposure to loss from those VIEs in which we hold a variable interest, but concluded we are not the primary beneficiary, are provided in the table below.

VIEs where we hold a variable interest but we are not required to consolidate

Managed Funds

As described in Note 2 on page 117 of our 2012 Form 10-K, as of September 30, 2012 one of our subsidiaries served as the general partner in funds which we determined to be VIEs that we are not required to consolidate. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, we determined that a subsidiary of ClariVest (see the discussion of our acquisition of ClariVest in Notes 1 and 3) is the general partner in a fund that is a Managed Fund. Similar to the other Managed Funds, we determined the ClariVest fund to be a VIE that we are not required to consolidate since it satisfies the conditions for deferral of the determination of who is the primary beneficiary (refer to the 2012 Form 10-K pages referenced above for discussion of those conditions).

(1)
The goodwill adjustment arose during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 from a change in a tax election pertaining to whether assets acquired and liabilities assumed are written-up to fair value for tax purposes. This election is made on an entity-by-entity basis, and during the period indicated, our assumption regarding whether we would make such election changed for one of the Morgan Keegan entities we acquired. The offsetting balance associated with this adjustment to goodwill was the net deferred tax asset.

(2)
The impairment expense in the nine month period ended June 30, 2013 is associated with the Raymond James European Securities, S.A.S. (“RJES”) reporting unit. We concluded the goodwill associated with this reporting unit to be completely impaired during the three month period ended March 31, 2013. Since we did not own 100% of RJES as of the goodwill impairment testing date, for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 and the nine month period ended June 30, 2013 the effect of this impairment expense on the pre-tax income attributable to Raymond James Financial, Inc is approximately $4.6 million and the portion of the impairment expense attributable to the noncontrolling interests is approximately $2.3 million.

(3)
The amounts above include the adjustments to the initial, preliminary balances as of June 30, 2012 that were reflected in the September 30, 2012 balances.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment testing as of December 31, 2012. We elected not to perform a qualitative assessment which is an option under GAAP, but instead to perform a quantitative assessment of the equity value of each reporting unit that includes an allocation of goodwill. In our determination of the reporting unit fair value of equity, we used a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we used discounted cash flow models applied to each respective reporting unit. Under the market approach, we calculated an estimated fair value based on a combination of multiples of earnings of guideline companies in the brokerage and capital markets industry that are publicly traded on organized exchanges, and the book value of comparable transactions. The estimated fair value of the equity of the reporting unit resulting from each of these valuation approaches was dependent upon the estimates of future business unit revenues and costs, such estimates were subject to critical assumptions regarding the nature and health of financial markets in future years as well as the discount rate to apply to the projected future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, a balance sheet as of the test date and a statement of operations for the last twelve months of activity for each reporting unit (or for the nine month period since the Closing Date for Morgan Keegan reporting units) were compiled. Future balance sheets and statements of operations were then projected, and estimated future cash flows were determined by the combination of these projections. The cash flows were discounted at the reporting units estimated cost of equity which was derived through application of the capital asset pricing model. The valuation result from the market approach was dependent upon the selection of the comparable guideline companies and transactions and the earnings multiple applied to each respective reporting units’ projected earnings. Finally, significant management judgment was applied in determining the weight assigned to the outcome of the market approach and the income approach, which resulted in one single estimate of the fair value of the equity of the reporting unit.

The assumptions and estimates utilized in determining the fair value of reporting unit equity are sensitive to changes, including, but not limited to, a decline in overall market conditions, adverse business trends and changes in the regulations.

Based upon the outcome of our quantitative assessments as of December 31, 2012, we concluded that the goodwill associated with RJES, a joint venture based in Paris, France that we hold a controlling interest in, was completely impaired. The impairment expense recorded in the three month period ended March 31, 2013 and the nine month period ended June 30, 2013 of $6.9 million is included in other expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Since we did not own 100% of RJES as of the annual testing date, our share of this impairment expense after consideration of the noncontrolling interests amounts to $4.6 million. RJES is an entity that provides research coverage on European corporations as well as having sales and trading operations. The decline in value of RJES is primarily due to the continuing economic slowdown experienced in Europe which has had a negative impact on the financial services entities operating therein, as well as certain management decisions that were made during the three month period ended March 31, 2013 which impact RJES’ operating plans on a going forward basis. In April 2013, we purchased all of the outstanding equity in RJES that was held by others, thus we now have sole control over RJES.

There was no goodwill impairment in any other reporting unit. 

In mid-February 2013, the client accounts of MK & Co. were transferred to RJ&A pursuant to our Morgan Keegan acquisition integration strategies. As a result, certain RJ&A and MK & Co. reporting units which have an allocation of both private client group as well as capital markets goodwill, were combined. We assessed whether these transfers, which occurred after our annual goodwill impairment testing date, could change our conclusions regarding no impairment of goodwill in the reporting units effected by the transfers. Based upon our qualitative analysis related to those reporting units, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the combined reporting units equity exceeds the combined reporting units’ carrying value including goodwill after the effect of such transfers. No other events have occurred since December 31, 2012 that would cause us to update the annual impairment testing we performed as of that date.

The additions are directly attributable to the customer list asset associated with our first quarter fiscal year 2013 acquisition of a 45% interest in ClariVest (see Note 3 for additional information). Since we are consolidating ClariVest, the amount represents the entire customer relationship intangible asset associated with the acquisition transaction; the amount shown is unadjusted by the 55% share of ClariVest attributable to others. The estimated useful life associated with this addition is approximately 10 years.

The additions are directly attributable to the identified intangible assets associated with the Morgan Keegan acquisition and include the adjustments to the initial, preliminary balances as of June 30, 2012 that were reflected in the September 30, 2012 balances, see Note 3 for further information regarding the acquisition.

(1)
Other than a $5 million borrowing outstanding on the New Regions Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) as of June 30, 2013, any borrowings on secured lines of credit are day-to-day and are generally utilized to finance certain fixed income securities.

On November 14, 2012, a subsidiary of RJF (the “Borrower”) entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “New Regions Credit Agreement”) with Regions Bank, an Alabama banking corporation (the “Lender”). The New Regions Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit from the Lender to the Borrower and is subject to a guarantee in favor of the Lender provided by RJF. The proceeds from any borrowings under the line will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The obligations under the New Regions Credit Agreement are secured by, subject to certain exceptions, all of the present and future ARS owned by the Borrower (the “Pledged ARS”). The amount of any borrowing under the New Regions Credit Agreement cannot exceed the lesser of 70% of the value of the Pledged ARS, or $100 million. The maximum amount available to borrow under the New Regions Credit Agreement was $100 million as of June 30, 2013, the outstanding borrowings were $5 million on such date. The New Regions Credit Agreement bears interest at a variable rate which is 2.75% in excess of LIBOR. The New Regions Credit Agreement expires on April 2, 2015.

Immediately preceding the execution of the New Regions Credit Agreement, all outstanding balances on the credit agreement which had been entered into with Regions on April 2, 2012 as a result of the Morgan Keegan acquisition (the “Initial Regions Credit Agreement”) were paid to the Lender by the Borrowers and such agreement was terminated. See Note 13 for further discussion.

(2)
Any borrowings on unsecured lines of credit are day-to-day and are generally utilized for cash management purposes.

RJ Bank had no advances outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) as of either June 30, 2013 or September 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, there were other collateralized financings outstanding in the amount of $248.4 million.  As of September 30, 2012, there were other collateralized financings outstanding in the amount of $348 million. These other collateralized financings are included in securities sold under agreements to repurchase on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These financings are collateralized by non-customer, RJ&A-owned securities.

NOTE 14 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The significant accounting policies governing our derivative financial instruments, including our methodologies for determining fair value, are described in Note 2 on pages 105 - 106 of our 2012 Form 10-K.

Derivatives arising from our fixed income business operations

In our pre-Morgan Keegan acquisition fixed income business, we entered into interest rate swaps and futures contracts either as part of our fixed income business to facilitate customer transactions, to hedge a portion of our trading inventory, or to a limited extent for our own account.   We have continued to conduct this business in a substantially similar fashion since the Closing Date of the Morgan Keegan acquisition and continuing during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The majority of these derivative positions are executed in the over-the-counter market with financial institutions. We hereinafter refer to the derivative instruments arising from these operations as our over-the-counter derivatives operations (or “OTC Derivatives Operations”).

Cash flows related to the interest rate contracts arising from the OTC Derivative Operations, are included as operating activities (the “trading instruments, net” line) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Matched book derivatives arising from Morgan Keegan’s legacy business operations

Prior to the Closing Date, Morgan Keegan facilitated derivative transactions through non-broker-dealer subsidiaries, either Morgan Keegan Financial Products, LLC or Morgan Keegan Capital Services, LLC (collectively referred to as the Morgan Keegan swaps subsidiaries or “MKSS”). We have continued to conduct this business in a substantially similar fashion since the Closing Date of the Morgan Keegan acquisition and continuing during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. In these operations, we do not use derivative instruments for trading or hedging purposes. MKSS enters into derivative transactions (primarily interest rate swaps) with customers. For every derivative transaction MKSS enters into with a customer, MKSS enters into an offsetting transaction with terms that mirror the customer transaction with a credit support provider who is a third party financial institution. Due to this “pass-through” transaction structure, MKSS has completely mitigated the market and credit risk related to these derivative contracts and therefore, the ultimate credit and market risk resides with the third party financial institution. MKSS only has credit risk related to its uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues. As a result of the structure of these transactions, we refer to the derivative contracts we enter into as a result of these operations as our offsetting “matched book” derivative operations (the “Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations”).

Any collateral required to be exchanged under the contracts arising from the Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations is administered directly by the customer and the third party financial institution. MKSS does not hold any collateral, or administer any collateral transactions, related to these instruments. We record the value of each derivative position arising from the Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations at fair value, as either an asset or offsetting liability, presented as “derivative instruments associated with offsetting matched book positions,” as applicable, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The receivable for uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues of MKSS is $8 million and $9.3 million at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, and is included in other receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

None of the derivatives described above arising from either our OTC Derivatives Operations or our Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.


49


Derivatives arising from RJ Bank’s business operations
 
A Canadian subsidiary of RJ Bank conducts operations directly related to RJ Bank’s Canadian corporate loan portfolio. U.S. subsidiaries of RJ Bank utilize forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge RJ Bank’s foreign currency exposure due to its non-U.S. dollar net investment.  Cash flows related to these derivative contracts are classified within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Description of the collateral we hold related to derivative contracts

Where permitted, we elect to net-by-counterparty certain derivative contracts entered into in our OTC Derivatives Operations and RJ Bank’s U.S. subsidiaries.  Certain of these contracts contain a legally enforceable master netting arrangement that allows for netting of all derivative transactions with each counterparty and, therefore, the fair value of those derivative contracts are netted by counterparty in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  The credit support annex related to the interest rate swaps and certain forward foreign exchange contracts allow parties to the master agreement to mitigate their credit risk by requiring the party which is out of the money to post collateral.  We accept collateral in the form of cash or other marketable securities.  As we elect to net-by-counterparty the fair value of derivative contracts arising from our OTC Derivatives Operations, we also net-by-counterparty any cash collateral exchanged as part of those derivative agreements.

This cash collateral is recorded net-by-counterparty at the related fair value.  The cash collateral included in the net fair value of all open derivative asset positions arising from our OTC Derivatives Operations aggregates to a net liability of $13 million at June 30, 2013 and $18 million at September 30, 2012.  The cash collateral included in the net fair value of all open derivative liability positions from our OTC Derivatives Operations aggregates to a net asset of $22 million and $50 million at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.  Our maximum loss exposure under the interest rate swap contracts arising from our OTC Derivatives Operations at June 30, 2013 is $31 million.

RJ Bank provides to counterparties for the benefit of its U.S. subsidiaries, a guarantee of payment in the event of the subsidiaries’ default under forward foreign exchange contracts.  Due to this RJ Bank guarantee and the short-term nature of these derivatives, RJ Bank’s U.S. subsidiaries are not required to post collateral and do not receive collateral with respect to certain derivative contracts with the respective counterparties.  All of RJ Bank’s forward foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 2013 are asset derivatives, therefore we consider there to be no exposure to loss under these contracts as of such date.

Risks associated with, and our risk mitigation related to, our derivative contracts

We are exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to forward foreign exchange derivative agreements as well as the interest rate contracts associated with our OTC Derivatives Operations. Where we are subject to credit exposure, we perform a credit evaluation of counterparties prior to entering into derivative transactions and we monitor their credit standings.  Currently, we anticipate that all of the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under those agreements.  For our OTC Derivatives Operations, we may require collateral from counterparties in the form of cash deposits or other marketable securities to support certain of these obligations as established by the credit threshold specified by the agreement and/or as a result of monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties.  

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to the interest rate derivative agreements arising from our OTC Derivatives Operations.  We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk related to our forward foreign exchange derivative agreements.  We monitor exposure in our derivative agreements daily based on established limits with respect to a number of factors, including interest rate, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, spread, ratio, basis and volatility risks.  These exposures are monitored both on a total portfolio basis and separately for each agreement for selected maturity periods.

Certain of the derivative instruments arising from our OTC Derivatives Operations and RJ Bank’s forward foreign exchange contracts contain provisions that require our debt to maintain an investment grade rating from one or more of the major credit rating agencies. If our debt were to fall below investment grade, we would be in breach of these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing overnight collateralization on our derivative instruments in liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position at June 30, 2013 is $20.6 million, for which we have posted collateral of $18.2 million in the normal course of business. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on June 30, 2013, we would have been required to post an additional $2.4 million of collateral to our counterparties.

Our only exposure to credit risk in the Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations is related to our uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues. We are not exposed to market risk as it relates to these derivative contracts due to the “pass-through” transaction structure more fully described above.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

For discussion of income tax matters, see Note 2 page 114, and Note 19 pages 161-163, in our 2012 Form 10-K.

As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the balance of our unrecognized tax benefits was $15.7 million and $12.7 million, respectively.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $8 million and $6.4 million at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.  We anticipate that the unrecognized tax benefits will not change significantly over the next twelve months.

We recognize the accrual of interest and penalties related to income tax matters in interest expense and other expense, respectively. As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, accrued interest and penalties included in the unrecognized tax benefits liability were approximately $4.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

We file U. S. federal income tax returns as well as returns with various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or foreign income tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal year 2012 for federal tax returns, fiscal year 2008 for state and local tax returns and fiscal year 2007 for foreign tax returns.  Certain transactions from our fiscal year 2012 and 2013 are currently being examined under the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Compliance Assurance Program.  This program accelerates the examination of key issues in an attempt to resolve them before the tax return is filed. Certain state and local returns are also currently under various stages of audit. Various state audits in process are expected to be completed in fiscal year 2013.


NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business we enter into underwriting commitments. As of June 30, 2013, neither RJ&A nor MK & Co. had open transactions involving such commitments.  Transactions involving such commitments of RJ Ltd. that were recorded and open at June 30, 2013, were approximately $20.9 million in Canadian dollars (“CDN”).

We utilize client marginable securities to satisfy deposits with clearing organizations. At June 30, 2013, we had client margin securities valued at $180 million pledged with a clearing organization to meet our requirement of $114 million.

As part of our recruiting efforts, we offer loans to prospective financial advisors and certain key revenue producers primarily for recruiting and/or retention purposes (see Note 2 page 107 in our 2012 Form 10-K for a discussion of our accounting policies governing these transactions). These commitments are contingent upon certain events occurring, including, but not limited to, the individual joining us and, in most circumstances, require them to meet certain production requirements.  As of June 30, 2013 we had made commitments, to either prospects that have accepted our offer, or recently recruited producers, of approximately $29 million that have not yet been funded.

As of June 30, 2013, RJ Bank had not settled purchases of $274.8 million in syndicated loans.  These loan purchases are expected to be settled within 90 days.

RJ Bank has committed $2 million to a small business investment company which provides capital and long-term loans to small businesses.  As of June 30, 2013, RJ Bank has invested $1.8 million of the committed amount and the distributions received have been insignificant.

See Note 20 for additional information regarding RJ Bank’s commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments such as standby letters of credit and loan purchases.

We have committed a total of $129.5 million, in amounts ranging from $200 thousand to $29.7 million, to 53 different independent venture capital or private equity partnerships. As of June 30, 2013, we have invested $103.7 million of the committed amounts and have received $77.1 million in distributions.  We also control the general partner in seven internally sponsored private equity limited partnerships to which we have committed $69.6 million.  As of June 30, 2013, we have invested $48.9 million of the committed amounts and have received $39.1 million in distributions.


53


RJF has committed to lend to RJTCF, or guarantee obligations in connection with RJTCF’s low-income housing development/rehabilitation and syndication activities, amounts aggregating up to $170 million upon request, subject to certain limitations as well as annual review and renewal. At June 30, 2013, RJTCF has $42 million in outstanding cash borrowings and $92 million in unfunded commitments outstanding against this aggregate commitment. RJTCF borrows from RJF in order to make investments in, or fund loans or advances to, either partnerships which purchase and develop properties qualifying for tax credits (“Project Partnerships”) or LIHTC Funds. Investments in Project Partnerships, are sold to various LIHTC Funds, which have third party investors and for which RJTCF serves the managing member or general partner. RJTCF typically sells investments in Project Partnerships to LIHTC Funds within 90 days of their acquisition, and the proceeds from the sales are used to repay RJTCF’s borrowings from RJF. RJTCF may also make short-term loans or advances to Project Partnerships, or to LIHTC Funds.

A subsidiary of RJ Bank has committed $14.3 million as an investor member in a low-income housing tax credit fund in which a subsidiary of RJTCF is the managing member. As of June 30, 2013, the RJ Bank subsidiary has invested $3.1 million of the committed amount.

At June 30, 2013, the approximate market values of collateral received that we can repledge were:

As a part of our fixed income public finance operations, RJ&A enters into forward commitments to purchase GNMA MBS.  The MBS securities are issued on behalf of various state and local housing finance agencies (“HFA”) and consist of the mortgages originated through their lending programs.  RJ&A’s forward GNMA MBS purchase commitment arises at the time of the loan reservation for a borrower in the HFA lending program (these loan reservations fix the terms of the mortgage, including the interest rate and maximum principal amount).  The underlying terms of the GNMA MBS purchase, including the price for the MBS security (which is dependent upon the interest rates associated with the underlying mortgages) are also fixed at loan reservation.  At June 30, 2013, RJ&A had approximately $202 million principal amount of outstanding forward MBS purchase commitments which are expected to be purchased by RJ&A over the following 90 days.  Upon acquisition of the MBS security, RJ&A typically sells such security in open market transactions as part of its fixed income operations.  Given that the actual principal amount of the MBS security is not fixed and determinable at the date of RJ&A’s commitment to purchase, these forward MBS purchase commitments do not meet the definition of a derivative instrument.  In order to hedge the market interest rate risk to which RJ&A would otherwise be exposed between the date of the commitment and the date of sale of the MBS in the market, RJ&A enters into to be announced (“TBA”) security contracts with investors for generic MBS securities at specific rates and prices to be delivered on settlement dates in the future.  These TBA securities are accounted for at fair value and are included in Agency MBS securities in the table of assets and liabilities measured at fair value included in Note 5, and at June 30, 2013 aggregate to a net asset having a fair value of $5 million.  The estimated fair value of the purchase commitment at June 30, 2013 is a liability of $5 million, which is included in trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

As a result of the extensive regulation of the financial services industry, our broker-dealer and investment advisory subsidiaries are subject to regular reviews and inspections by regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations, which can result in the imposition of sanctions for regulatory violations, ranging from non-monetary censure to fines and, in serious cases, temporary or permanent suspension from conducting business. In addition, from time to time regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations institute investigations into industry practices, which can also result in the imposition of such sanctions.

Guarantees

RJ Bank provides to its affiliate, Raymond James Capital Services, Inc. (“RJ Cap Services”), on behalf of certain corporate borrowers, a guarantee of payment in the event of the borrower’s default for exposure under interest rate swaps entered into with RJ Cap Services. At June 30, 2013, the exposure under these guarantees is $6.5 million, which was underwritten as part of RJ Bank’s corporate credit relationship with such borrowers.  The outstanding interest rate swaps at June 30, 2013 have maturities ranging from July 2013 through May 2019.  RJ Bank records an estimated reserve for its credit risk associated with the guarantee of these client swaps, which was insignificant as of June 30, 2013.  The estimated total potential exposure under these guarantees is $10.5 million at June 30, 2013.

RJ Bank guarantees the forward foreign exchange contract obligations of its U.S. subsidiaries.  See Note 14 for additional information regarding these derivatives.

RJF guarantees interest rate swap obligations of RJ Cap Services. See Note 14 for additional information regarding interest rate swaps.

We have from time to time authorized performance guarantees for the completion of trades with counterparties in Argentina. At June 30, 2013, there were no such outstanding performance guarantees.

In March, 2008, RJF guaranteed an $8 million letter of credit issued for settlement purposes that was requested by the Capital Markets Board (“CMB”) for a joint venture we were at one time affiliated with in the country of Turkey.  While our Turkish joint venture ceased operations in December, 2008, the CMB has not released this letter of credit.  The issuing bank has instituted an action seeking payment of its fees on the underlying letter of credit and to confirm that the guarantee remains in effect.

RJF has guaranteed the Borrower’s performance under the New Regions Credit Agreement.  See further discussion of this borrowing in Note 12.

RJF guarantees the existing mortgage debt of RJ&A of approximately $46.6 million. See Notes 12 and 13 for information regarding our financing arrangements.

RJTCF issues certain guarantees to various third parties related to Project Partnerships whose interests have been sold to one or more of the funds in which RJTCF is the managing member or general partner. In some instances, RJTCF is not the primary guarantor of these obligations which aggregate to a cumulative maximum obligation of approximately $1.7 million as of June 30, 2013.

RJF has guaranteed RJTCF’s performance to various third parties on certain obligations arising from RJTCF’s sale and/or transfer of units in one of its fund offerings (“Fund 34”).  Under such arrangements, RJTCF has provided either: (1) certain specific performance guarantees including a provision whereby in certain circumstances, RJTCF will refund a portion of the investors’ capital contribution, or (2) a guaranteed return on their investment.  Under the performance guarantees, the conditions which would result in a payment by RJTCF not being required to be made under the guarantees have been satisfied, and neither RJF nor RJTCF have any further obligations under such guarantees.  Further, based upon its most recent projections and performance of Fund 34, RJTCF does not anticipate that any future payments will be owed to these third parties under the guarantee of the return on investment. Under the guarantee of returns, should the underlying LIHTC project partnerships held by Fund 34 fail to deliver a certain amount of tax credits and other tax benefits over the next nine years, RJTCF is obligated to provide the investor with a specified return.  A $33.7 million financing asset is included in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a related $33.7 million liability is included in trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2013. The maximum exposure to loss under this guarantee is the undiscounted future payments due to investors for the return on and of their investment, and approximates $43.4 million at June 30, 2013.

Legal matter contingencies

Pre-Closing Date Morgan Keegan matters (all of which are subject to indemnification by Regions)

In July 2006, MK & Co. and a former MK & Co. analyst were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by a Canadian insurance and financial services company, Fairfax Financial Holdings, and its American subsidiary in the Circuit Court of Morris County, New Jersey. Plaintiffs made claims under a civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (“RICO”) statute, for commercial disparagement, tortious interference with contractual relationships, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and common law conspiracy. Plaintiffs alleged that defendants engaged in a multi-year conspiracy to publish and disseminate false and defamatory information about plaintiffs to improperly drive down plaintiff’s stock price, so that others could profit from short positions. Plaintiffs alleged that defendants’ actions damaged their reputations and harmed their business relationships. Plaintiffs alleged a number of categories of damages they sustained, including lost insurance business, lost financings and increased financing costs, increased audit fees and directors and officers insurance premiums and lost acquisitions, and have requested monetary damages. On May 11, 2012, the trial court ruled that New York law applied to plaintiff’s RICO claims, therefore the claims were not subject to treble damages. On June 27, 2012, the trial court dismissed plaintiffs’ tortious interference with prospective relations claim, but allowed other claims to go forward. A jury trial was set to begin on September 10, 2012. Prior to its commencement the court dismissed the remaining claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s rulings.

Certain of the Morgan Keegan entities, along with Regions, have been named in class-action lawsuits filed in federal and state courts on behalf of shareholders of Regions and investors who purchased shares of certain mutual funds in the Regions Morgan Keegan Fund complex (the “Regions Funds”). The Regions Funds were formerly managed by Morgan Asset Management (“MAM”), an entity which was at one time a subsidiary of one of the Morgan Keegan affiliates, but an entity which was not part of our Morgan Keegan acquisition (see further information regarding the Morgan Keegan acquisition in Note 3 on pages 118 - 121 of our 2012 Form 10-K). The complaints contain various allegations, including claims that the Regions Funds and the defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose material facts relating to the activities of the Funds. In August 2013, the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee approved the settlement of the class action and the derivative action regarding the closed end funds for $62 million and $6 million, respectively. No other class has been certified. Certain of the shareholders in the Funds and other interested parties have entered into arbitration proceedings and individual civil claims, in lieu of participating in the class action lawsuits.

In March 2009, MK & Co. received a Wells Notice from the SEC’s Atlanta Regional Office related to ARS indicating that the SEC staff intended to recommend that the SEC take civil action against the firm. On July 21, 2009, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the “Court”) against MK & Co. alleging violations of the federal securities laws in connection with ARS that MK & Co. underwrote, marketed and sold. On June 28, 2011, the Court granted MK & Co.’s Motion for Summary Judgment, dismissing the case brought by the SEC. On May 2, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit reversed the Court’s decision and remanded the case. A bench trial was held the week of November 26, 2012, and on February 15, 2013, the Court ruled that MK & Co. had been negligent in a few discreet instances and ordered it to repurchase ARS from the 17 clients. The court imposed a fine of $100,500 and dismissed all other claims. Beginning in February 2009, MK & Co. commenced a voluntary program to repurchase ARS that it underwrote and sold to MK & Co. customers, and extended that repurchase program on October 1, 2009, to include certain ARS that were sold by MK & Co. to its customers but were underwritten by other firms. On July 21, 2009, the Alabama Securities Commission issued a “Show Cause” order to MK & Co. arising out of the ARS matter that is the subject of the SEC complaint described above. The order requires MK & Co. to show cause why its registration as a broker-dealer should not be suspended or revoked in the State of Alabama and also why it should not be subject to disgorgement, repurchasing all ARS sold to Alabama residents and payment of costs and penalties.

The SEC and states of Missouri and Texas are investigating alleged securities law violations by MK & Co. in the underwriting and sale of certain municipal bonds. An enforcement action was brought by the Missouri Secretary of State on April 4, 2013, seeking monetary penalties and other relief. A civil action was brought by institutional investors of the bonds on March 19, 2012, seeking a return of their investment and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. A class action was brought on behalf of retail purchasers of the bonds on September 4, 2012, seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. These actions are in the early stages. These matters are subject to the indemnification agreement with Regions.

Prior to the Closing Date, Morgan Keegan was involved in other litigation arising in the normal course of its business. On all such matters, RJF is subject to indemnification from Regions pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement and summarized below.


56


Indemnification from Regions

The terms of the stock purchase agreement governing our acquisition of Morgan Keegan, which closed on April 2, 2012, provide that Regions will indemnify RJF for losses incurred in connection with legal proceedings pending as of the closing date or commenced after the closing date and related to pre-closing matters as well as any cost of defense pertaining thereto (see Note 3 on page 120 of our 2012 Form 10-K for a discussion of the indemnifications provided to RJF by Regions). All of the pre-Closing Date Morgan Keegan matters described above are subject to such indemnification provisions. Management estimates the range of potential liability of all such matters subject to indemnification, including the cost of defense, to be from $30 million to $270 million. Any loss arising from such matters, after consideration of the applicable annual deductible, if any, will be borne by Regions. As of June 30, 2013, a receivable from Regions of approximately $2 million is included in other receivables, an indemnification asset of approximately $172 million is included in other assets, and a liability for potential losses of approximately $173 million is included within trade and other payables, all of which are reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition pertaining to the above matters and the related indemnification from Regions. The amount included within trade and other payables is the amount within the range of potential liability related to such matters which management estimates is more likely than any other amount within such range. Through June 30, 2013, Regions has reimbursed approximately $21.5 million for costs we incurred in excess of the accrued liability amounts for legal matters subject to indemnification included in the final Closing Date tangible net book value computation.

Other matters

We are a defendant or co-defendant in various lawsuits and arbitrations incidental to our securities business as well as other corporate litigation. We are contesting the allegations in these cases and believe that there are meritorious defenses in each of these lawsuits and arbitrations. In view of the number and diversity of claims against us, the number of jurisdictions in which litigation is pending and the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims, we cannot state with certainty what the eventual outcome of pending litigation or other claims will be. Refer to Note 2 on page 113 of our 2012 Form 10-K for a discussion of our criteria for establishing a range of possible loss related to such matters.  Excluding any amounts subject to indemnification from Regions related to pre-Closing Date Morgan Keegan matters discussed above, as of June 30, 2013, management currently estimates the aggregate range of possible loss is from $0 to an amount of up to $20 million in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to these matters.  In the opinion of management, based on current available information, review with outside legal counsel, and consideration of the accrued liability amounts provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these matters, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or cumulative results of operations. However, resolution of one or more of these matters may have a material effect on the results of operations in any future period, depending upon the ultimate resolution of those matters and upon the level of income for such period.

NOTE 18 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We have one share-based compensation plan for our employees, Board of Directors and non-employees (comprised of independent contractor financial advisors). The 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), permits us to grant share-based and cash-based awards designed to be exempt from the limitation on deductible compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In our 2012 Form 10-K, our share-based compensation accounting policies are described in Note 1, page 113.  Other information relating to our employee and Board of Director share-based awards including the predecessor plans, are outlined in our 2012 Form 10-K in Note 23, pages 169 – 173, while Note 24, pages 173 – 175, discusses our non-employee share-based awards.  For purposes of this report, we have combined our presentation of both our employee and Board of Director share-based awards with our non-employee share-based awards, both of which are described below.

NOTE 19 – REGULATIONS AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

For a discussion of the various regulations and capital requirements applicable to certain of our businesses and subsidiaries, see Note 25, pages 176-178, of our 2012 Form 10-K.

RJF, as a financial holding company, and RJ Bank, are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by bank regulators.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our and RJ Bank’s financial results. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, RJF and RJ Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. RJF’s and RJ Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

RJF and RJ Bank are required to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined).


60


To be categorized as “well capitalized,” RJF must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.

RJF and RJ Bank each calculate the Total Capital and Tier I Capital ratios in order to assess compliance with both regulatory requirements and their internal capital policies in addition to providing a measure of underutilized capital should these ratios become excessive.  Capital levels are continually monitored to assess both RJF and RJ Bank’s capital position. At current capital levels, RJF and RJ Bank are each categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  

The slight increase in RJF’s Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) and Tier I capital (to risk-weighted assets) at June 30, 2013 compared to September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in market risk equivalent assets (primarily trading instruments) and positive earnings during the nine month period ended June 30, 2013. The slight increase in RJF’s Tier I capital (to adjusted assets) ratio at June 30, 2013 compared to September 30, 2012 was primarily due to earnings during the nine month period ended June 30, 2013.

The slight decrease in RJ Bank’s Tier I capital (to adjusted assets) ratio at June 30, 2013 compared to September 30, 2012 was primarily due to corporate loan growth and an increase in cash during the nine month period ended June 30, 2013.

Certain of our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

NOTE 20 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

For a discussion of our financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, see Note 26 pages 179 - 180, of our 2012 Form 10-K.

RJ Bank has outstanding at any time a significant number of commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments such as standby letters of credit and loan purchases, which then extend over varying periods of time. These arrangements are subject to strict credit control assessments and each customer’s credit worthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Fixed-rate commitments, if any, are also subject to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and RJ Bank’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of those commitments. A summary of commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments outstanding follows:

Standby letters of credit
$
129,606

Open end consumer lines of credit
719,230

Commercial lines of credit
1,697,615

Unfunded loan commitments
194,474


Because many lending commitments expire without being funded in whole or part, the contract amounts are not estimates of RJ Bank’s actual future credit exposure or future liquidity requirements. RJ Bank maintains a reserve to provide for potential losses related to the unfunded lending commitments. See Note 8 for further discussion of this reserve for unfunded lending commitments.

RJ Ltd. is subject to foreign exchange risk primarily due to financial instruments denominated in U.S. dollars that may be impacted by fluctuation in foreign exchange rates. In order to mitigate this risk, RJ Ltd. enters into forward foreign exchange contracts. The fair value of these contracts is not significant. As of June 30, 2013, forward contracts outstanding to buy and sell U.S. dollars totaled CDN $32.8 million and CDN $3.2 million, respectively. RJ Bank is also subject to foreign exchange risk related to its net investment in a Canadian subsidiary. See Note 14 for information regarding how RJ Bank utilizes net investment hedges to mitigate a significant portion of this risk.

As a part of our fixed income public finance operations, RJ&A enters into forward commitments to purchase GNMA MBS.  See Note 16 for information on these commitments. We utilize TBA security contracts to hedge our interest rate risk associated with these commitments. We are subject to loss if the timing of, or the actual amount of, GNMA MBS securities differs significantly from the term and notional amount of the TBA security contracts we enter into.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the results of our operations and financial condition. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. Where “NM” is used in various percentage change computations, the computed percentage change has been determined not to be meaningful.

Factors Affecting “Forward-Looking Statements”

From time to time, Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF”), together with its subsidiaries hereinafter collectively referred to as “our,” “we” or “us,” may publish “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or make oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may relate to such matters as anticipated financial performance, future revenues or earnings, business prospects, allowance for loan loss levels at our wholly owned bank subsidiary Raymond James Bank, N.A. (“RJ Bank”), projected ventures, new products, anticipated market performance, recruiting efforts, regulatory approvals, future acquisition expenses, and other matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, we caution readers that a variety of factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, are discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of Item 1A of Part I included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012, as filed with the United States of America (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2012 Form 10-K”) and in Item 1A of Part II of this report on Form 10-Q. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Executive overview

We operate as a financial services and bank holding company. Results in the businesses in which we operate are highly correlated to the general overall strength of economic conditions and, more specifically, to the direction of the U.S. equity and fixed income markets, and the corporate and mortgage lending and credit trends (both commercial and residential).  Overall market conditions, interest rates, economic, political and regulatory trends, and industry competition are among the factors which could affect us and which are unpredictable and beyond our control.  These factors affect the financial decisions made by market participants which include investors, borrowers, and competitors, impacting their level of participation in the financial markets. These factors also impact the level of public offerings, trading profits, interest rate volatility and asset valuations, or a combination thereof.  In turn, these decisions affect our business results.

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012

We achieved net revenues of $1.11 billion, a 2% increase compared to the prior year quarter, but a 3% decrease compared to the preceding quarter. The preceding quarter’s revenues included a $65 million gain on a proprietary capital investment, which elevated our revenue level. Overall our businesses performed as expected during the quarter with the exception of our fixed income business, which was negatively impacted by the sharp increase in longer term interest rates in the second half of the quarter. Total client assets under administration were $405.8 billion at June 30, 2013, a 9% increase over the prior year level but down slightly compared to the preceding quarter. The decrease in assets under administration as compared to the preceding quarter is attributable to the adverse impact of foreign exchange translation on the U.S. dollar denominated value of Canadian-based client assets, and the negative impact of the increase in medium and long-term interest rates on fixed income investments. Non-interest expenses increased $32 million, or 3%, from the prior year quarter primarily due to increases in compensation related expenses and information technology expenses, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition related expenses. Non-interest expenses decreased by $3 million, or 0.3% compared to the preceding quarter, primarily driven by a decrease in acquisition related expense. The current year quarter non-interest expenses include $13 million of acquisition and integration related costs which we incurred primarily associated with our acquisition of Morgan Keegan (as hereinafter defined). As of June 30, 2013, we are substantially complete with our various integration initiatives.

Our pre-tax income increased $7 million, or 6%, compared to the prior year quarter.  Excluding the acquisition related expenses we incurred primarily resulting from the Morgan Keegan acquisition, we generated adjusted pre-tax income of $146 million (a non-GAAP measure)(1) for the current quarter which approximates the comparable prior year quarter’s pre-tax income but reflects a $13 million, or 8%, decrease compared to the preceding quarter.

Refer to the discussion and reconciliation of the GAAP results to the non-GAAP results in the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” section of this MD&A.

68


A summary of the most significant matters impacting our financial results as compared to the prior year quarter, are as follows:

Our Private Client Group segment generated net revenues of $740 million, an 8% increase over the prior year, while pre-tax income decreased 12% to $57 million.  The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to increased securities commissions and fee revenues, predominately arising from fee-based accounts. Pre-tax income was negatively impacted by an increase in commission expenses (driven primarily by the increase in corresponding revenues) as well as an increase in communication and information processing expense. Client assets under administration of the Private Client Group increased 9% over the prior year, to $387 billion at June 30, 2013.

The Capital Markets segment realized a $12 million, or 44%, decrease from the prior year to $16 million in pre-tax income, reflecting significantly lower fixed income results, net of improved equity capital markets results. We experienced a significant decrease in institutional fixed income commission revenues and a trading loss in our fixed income operations, both primarily resulting from adverse fixed income market conditions due to medium and longer term interest rate volatility during the quarter, which had a particularly negative impact on our municipal fixed income results. Equity capital markets commission levels increased as a result of improved equity market conditions.

Our Asset Management segment generated $24 million of pre-tax income, a $7 million, or 41%, increase compared to the prior year.  Assets under management in managed programs increased 28%, to a record $52 billion as of June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012.  Strong net inflows of client assets in managed programs, including from MK & Co. (as hereinafter defined) branches, market appreciation, and the acquisition of ClariVest (as hereinafter defined), contributed to the increase.

RJ Bank generated $63 million in pre-tax income, a $3 million, or 5%, increase over the prior year.  The increase resulted primarily from a net benefit in the loan loss provision expense, which resulted from an improved credit environment and a significant number of payoffs and paydowns of certain problem loans and upgrades within our loan portfolio.

Our Proprietary Capital segment generated $14 million of pre-tax income (net of noncontrolling interests) during the quarter, a $9 million increase compared to the prior year. The increase results from a number of relatively small positive valuation adjustments on investments in our portfolio.

We incurred acquisition and integration related costs primarily associated with the Morgan Keegan (as hereinafter defined) acquisition of $13 million in the current quarter compared to $21 million in the prior year. On April 2, 2012, RJF completed its acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. (a broker-dealer hereinafter referred to as “MK & Co.”) and MK Holdings, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively referred to hereinafter as “Morgan Keegan”) from Regions Financial Corporation (“Regions”).

With regard to regulatory changes that could impact our businesses in the future, our view of the potential impact to us of future regulations is substantially unchanged by the regulatory activities that occurred during the most recent period. Based on our review of the Dodd-Frank Act, and because of the nature of our businesses and our business practices, we presently do not expect the legislation to have a significant impact on our operations. However, because many of the regulations will result from further studies and are yet to be adopted by various regulatory agencies, the impact on our businesses remains uncertain.  

Nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2012

We successfully achieved a significant milestone in our integration of Morgan Keegan’s operations; in mid-February 2013 all of the Morgan Keegan financial advisors and client accounts were transfered from the Morgan Keegan platform to the Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJ&A”) platform. As a result, in April 2013 we implemented additional staff reductions, mainly within our information technology groups where there was significant overlap in historic Morgan Keegan and RJ&A staffing that we elected to maintain through the platform conversion date in order to to ensure the continued high levels of service to financial advisors and clients while we operated on two different platforms. Further, in June 2013, we implemented staff reductions in our Capital Markets businesses, primarily impacting our fixed income business.

Given the April 2, 2012 closing date of our acquisition of Morgan Keegan, the current period includes nine months of combined results, while the comparable prior year period includes only three months of combined results.


69


Our net revenues of $3.4 billion represent a 23% increase over the prior year period. All of our segments with the exception of the Securities Lending segment realized increased revenues over the prior year. Total client assets under administration increased to $405.8 billion, a 9% increase as compared to the prior year level. Non-interest expenses increased $536 million, or 22%, from the prior year primarily due to the addition of Morgan Keegan. The current year non-interest expenses include $52 million of acquisition and integration related costs primarily associated with the Morgan Keegan acquisition compared to $41 million in the prior year, and $7 million of goodwill impairment expense ($2 million is attributable to noncontrolling interests) arising from our European equity research and sales and trading affiliate. The bank loan loss provision decreased $17 million from the prior year reflecting the overall improvement in the credit markets.

Inclusive of the impact of the acquisition of Morgan Keegan, our pre-tax income increased $55 million, or 16%, compared to the prior year period.  Excluding the acquisition related expenses we incurred primarily resulting from the Morgan Keegan acquisition and other one-time non-recurring items, we generated adjusted pre-tax income of $460 million (a non - GAAP measure)(1) for the most recent nine month period, a $71 million, or 18%, increase over the comparable prior year period.

Our financial results during the nine month period were most significantly impacted by the factors described above for the most recent quarter, unless otherwise noted:

A $2 million, or 1% increase, in the pre-tax income of our Private Client Group segment.

A $3 million, or 5% increase, in the pre-tax income of our Capital Markets segment. This increase is the result of the expansion of our fixed income business as a result of the Morgan Keegan acquisition coupled with a strong first quarter of fiscal year 2013 in domestic equity capital markets activities as evidenced by strong securities underwriting, merger and acquisition activity, and private placement fees during that period. Current year results include a one-time goodwill impairment expense of $7 million pre-tax ($5 million after noncontrolling interests) related to our European equity research and sales and trading affiliate. Trading profits trail prior period levels due primarily to current quarter circumstances.

A $16 million, or 33% increase, in the pre-tax income of our Asset Management segment.

A $25 million, or 15% increase, in the pre-tax income of RJ Bank, resulting from a lower loan loss provision and increased net interest income.

A $5 million, or 86%, improvement in the pre-tax income of the Emerging Markets segment.

Our Proprietary Capital segment has generated a $31 million, or 342%, increase in pre-tax income (net of noncontrolling interests) over the prior period. The current year results were favorably impacted by a private equity partnership in which we hold an interest entering into a definitive agreement on March 8, 2013 to sell the private equity investment interest in Albion Medical Holdings, Inc. (“Albion”), a transaction which closed on April 29, 2013. The results for the current year include approximately $23 million in pre-tax income resulting from the sale of Albion (net of noncontrolling interests).

We have incurred acquisition and integration related costs of $52 million in the current year period, an increase of $11 million as compared to the prior year period, which are primarily associated with the Morgan Keegan acquisition.

Reconciliation of the GAAP results to the non-GAAP measures

We believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information by excluding those items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and that the GAAP and the non-GAAP measures should be considered together.

The non-GAAP adjustments for the periods indicated are comprised of the one-time acquisition and integration costs incurred (primarily associated with the Morgan Keegan acquisition) and other non-recurring expenses, net of applicable taxes. Refer to the footnotes to the table below for further explanation of each non-recurring item.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the GAAP basis to the non-GAAP measures:

The non-GAAP adjustment adds back to pre-tax income one-time acquisition and integration expenses associated with acquisitions that were incurred during each respective period.
(2)
The non-GAAP adjustment adds back to pre-tax income RJF’s share of the total goodwill impairment expense associated with our Raymond James European Securities, S.A.S. (“RJES”) reporting unit. See further discussion of this impairment expense in the Goodwill section of this Item 2 and in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
(3)
The non-GAAP adjustment adds back to pre-tax income a one-time restructuring expense associated with our RJES operations.
(4)
The non-GAAP adjustment adds back to pre-tax income the incremental interest expense incurred during the March 31, 2012 quarter on debt financings that occurred in March, 2012, prior to and in anticipation of, the closing of the Morgan Keegan acquisition.
(5)
The non-GAAP adjustment reduces net income for the income tax effect of all the pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments, utilizing the year-to-date effective tax rate to determine the current tax expense.
(6)
The non-GAAP adjustment to the weighted average common shares outstanding in the basic and diluted non-GAAP earnings per share computation reduces the actual shares outstanding for the effect of the 11,075,000 common shares issued by RJF in February 2012 as a component of our financing of the Morgan Keegan acquisition.
(7)
For the quarter, computed by adding the total equity attributable to RJF, Inc. as of the date indicated plus the prior quarter-end total, divided by two. For the year-to-date period, computed by adding the total equity attributable to RJF, Inc. as of each quarter-end date during the indicated year to-date period, plus the beginning of the year total, divided by four.
(8)
The calculation of non-GAAP average equity includes the impact on equity of the non-GAAP adjustments described in the table above, as applicable for each respective period.
(9)
Computed by utilizing the net income attributable to RJF, Inc.-non-GAAP basis and the average equity-non-GAAP basis, for each respective period. See footnotes (7) and (8) above for the calculation of average equity-non-GAAP basis.

Net interest analysis

We have a significant amount of assets and liabilities held in our PCG, Capital Markets and RJ Bank segments, which are subject to changes in interest rates; these changes in interest rates have an impact on our overall financial performance. Given the relationship of our interest sensitive assets to liabilities held in each of these segments, an increase in short-term interest rates would result in an overall increase in our net earnings (we currently have more assets than liabilities with a yield that would be affected by a change in short-term interest rates).  A gradual increase in short-term interest rates would have the most significant favorable impact on our PCG and RJ Bank segments. The actual amount of any benefit would be dependent upon a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the change in balances, the rapidity and magnitude of the increase in rates, and the interest rates paid on client cash balances.

Net interest income decreased $2 million, or 3%, compared to the prior year quarter. Net interest income is earned primarily by our PCG and RJ Bank segments, which are discussed separately below.

Net interest income in the PCG segment decreased $2 million, or 9%, primarily resulting from decreased client margin balances as well as a decrease in the interest rates on such balances as compared to the prior year.

RJ Bank’s net interest income decreased $1 million, or 1%, primarily as a result of a decrease in net interest margin.  Refer to the discussion of the specific components of RJ Bank’s net interest income in the RJ Bank section of this MD&A.

Interest income earned on our available for sale securities portfolio decreased from the prior period level due to lower yields on the portfolio and a decrease in investment balances as compared to the prior year.

Net interest income increased $6 million, or 2%, as compared to the prior year. Net interest income is earned primarily by our PCG and RJ Bank segments, which are discussed separately below.

Net interest income in the PCG segment increased $3 million, or 5%, primarily resulting from increased client margin and client cash balances arising from the Morgan Keegan acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in the interest rates associated with client margin balances. The earnings on MK & Co. balances were included for three months in our prior year period as compared to the full nine months in the current year period.

RJ Bank’s net interest income increased $21 million, or 9%, primarily as a result of an increase in average loans outstanding.  Refer to the discussion of the specific components of RJ Bank’s net interest income in the RJ Bank section of this MD&A.

Interest income earned on our available for sale securities portfolio decreased from the prior year level due to significantly lower yields on the portfolio which more than offset an increase resulting from higher investment balances. The average balance of the portfolio increased primarily as a result of the Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”) we acquired in the prior year as a part of the Morgan Keegan acquisition. Given that the yield on ARS is significantly lower than the yield on other types of available for sale securities, the increase in ARS in proportion to our total available for sale portfolio balances caused the weighted-average yield on total available for sale securities portfolio to decline.

Interest expense on our senior notes increased approximately $18 million over the prior year.  The increase results from the interest expense associated with our March 2012 issuance of $350 million 6.9% senior notes and $250 million 5.625% senior notes. Both of the March 2012 debt offerings were part of our financing activities associated with funding the Morgan Keegan acquisition which closed on April 2, 2012.

Through our PCG segment, we provide securities transaction and financial planning services to client accounts through the branch office systems of our broker-dealer subsidiaries located throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.  Our financial advisors offer a broad range of investments and services, including both third party and proprietary products, and a variety of financial planning services.  We charge sales commissions or asset-based fees for investment services we provide to our PCG clients based on established schedules. Our financial advisors offer a number of professionally managed load mutual funds, as well as a selection of no-load funds.  Net interest revenue in the PCG segment is generated by customer balances, predominately the earnings on margin loans and assets segregated pursuant to regulations, less interest paid on customer cash balances (“Client Interest Program”).  The PCG segment earns a fee (in lieu of interest revenue) from the Raymond James Bank Deposit Program (“RJBDP”), a program where clients’ cash deposits in their brokerage accounts are re-deposited through a third party service into interest-bearing deposit accounts at a number of banks. The RJBDP program enables clients to obtain up to $2.5 million in individual Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) deposit insurance coverage ($5 million for joint accounts) in addition to earning competitive rates for their cash balances.  The portion of this fee paid by RJ Bank is eliminated in the intersegment eliminations.

The success of the PCG segment is dependent upon the quality of our products, services, financial advisors and support personnel including our ability to attract, retain and motivate a sufficient number of these associates. We face competition for qualified associates from major financial services companies, including other brokerage firms, insurance companies, banking institutions and discount brokerage firms. We currently offer several affiliation alternatives for financial advisors ranging from the traditional branch setting, under which the financial advisors are our employees and we incur the costs associated with operating the branch, to the independent contractor model, under which the independent contractor financial advisor is responsible for all of their own direct costs. Accordingly, the independent contractor financial advisors are paid a larger percentage of commissions. By offering alternative models to potential and existing financial advisors, we are able to effectively compete with a wide variety of other brokerage firms for qualified financial advisors, as financial advisors can choose the model that best suits their practice and profile.

Revenues of the PCG segment are correlated with total client assets under administration as well as the overall U.S. equities markets.  As of June 30, 2013, total PCG client assets under administration amounted to $387 billion, relatively unchanged as compared to the preceding quarter ended March 31, 2013 and up 9% over the $356 billion as of June 30, 2012. Increased client assets under administration result in higher fee-based account revenues and mutual fund and annuity service fees. Improved equity markets not only result in increased assets under administration but also generally lead to more client activity and therefore improved financial advisor productivity. Financial advisor productivity has increased 7% over the prior year.

We acquired MK & Co. on April 2, 2012. We successfully integrated the PCG operations of Morgan Keegan onto the RJ&A platform in mid-February 2013. At that time, 863 financial advisors of Morgan Keegan became RJ&A financial advisors.

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 – Private Client Group

Net revenues increased $58 million, or 8%, while pre-tax income decreased $8 million, or 12%. PCG’s pre-tax margin on net revenues decreased to 7.7% as compared to the prior year quarter’s 9.4%.

Securities commissions and fees increased $48 million, or 8%.  Client assets under administration of $387 billion increased $31 billion or 9% compared to June 30, 2012. The year over year increase in client assets was driven by the equity market conditions in the U.S., which were generally improved as compared to the prior year. The most significant increases in these revenues arose from fee-based accounts, which increased $34 million, or 15% (refer to the discussion of the increase in assets in fee-based accounts in the paragraphs that follow), commissions on mutual fund products which increased $20 million, or 14%, and commissions on equity securities which increased $8 million, or 11%, partially offset by a decrease in commissions on fixed income products of $6 million, or 22%.


77


Mutual fund and annuity service fees increased $8 million, or 23%, primarily as a result of an increase in mutual fund omnibus fees, education and marketing support (“EMS”) fees, and no-transaction-fee (“NTF”) program revenues, all of which are paid to us by the mutual fund companies whose products we distribute.  During the past year we implemented changes in the data sharing arrangements with many mutual fund companies, converting from a networking to an omnibus arrangement.  The fees earned from omnibus arrangements are greater than those under networking arrangements in order to compensate us for the additional reporting requirements performed by the broker-dealer under omnibus arrangements.  Effective with our mid-February 2013 platform integration, the former Morgan Keegan client mutual fund investments became eligible for our omnibus and EMS programs.

Other revenues increased by $3 million, or 72%, primarily as a result of a foreign currency exchange gain generated by our Canadian operations.

Total segment revenues increased 8%. The portion of total segment revenues that we consider to be recurring is approximately 66% at June 30, 2013, an increase from 64% at June 30, 2012.  Recurring commission and fee revenues include asset based fees, trailing commissions from mutual funds and variable annuities/insurance products, mutual fund service fees, fees earned on funds in our multi-bank sweep program, and interest. Assets in fee-based accounts as of June 30, 2013 were $115 billion, an increase of 2% over the balances as of March 31, 2013, and 20% as compared to the $95 billion as of June 30, 2012.

PCG net interest decreased $2 million, or 9%, primarily resulting from decreased client margin balances, and to a lesser extent, a decrease in margin interest rates. Client margin balances decreased 5% as compared to June 30, 2012 levels, partially due to the popularity of the securities based lending product offered by RJ Bank. Although client cash balances have increased 12% compared to the June 30, 2012 levels, given the extremely low rate of interest we earn and pay on client cash balances as a result of the interest rate environment in each period, this increase in client cash balances has only had a nominal impact on our net interest revenues.

Non-interest expenses increased $65 million, or 11%, over the prior year quarter.  Sales commission expense increased $50 million, or 12%, a greater percentage increase than the 8% increase in commission and fee revenues.  The disproportionate increase in commission expenses is predominately due to the current period including expenses associated with the retention of MK & Co. financial advisors as a result of the acquisition. Clearance and other expenses increased $12 million, or 93%. These expense increases can generally be attributed to clearing and floor brokerage expenses, which for RJF as a whole, decreased 16%. However, as a result of the application of differing clearing charge allocation methodologies between segments within the historic MK & Co. operations, the comparison of the current quarter clearing charges to the prior year quarter for the PCG segment is unfavorable (refer to the Capital Markets results of operations herein for a discussion of an offsetting favorable comparison to the prior year quarter within that segment). Communications and information processing expense increased $10 million, or 31%. Computer software development costs and other information technology related costs, which include consulting expenses, increased approximately $11 million as compared to the prior year quarter as a result of various information technology enhancements to existing platforms and additional reporting requirements, including regulatory requirements and expenses associated with omnibus arrangements (refer to the increase in mutual fund and annuity service fee revenue arising from these arrangements discussed above). Partially offsetting the increases noted above, business development expenses decreased by $4 million, or 21%, and administrative and incentive compensation and benefit costs decreased $2 million, or 1%, both resulting in part from expense controls and staff reductions in certain support areas.

Nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2012 – Private Client Group

Net revenues increased $399 million, or 22%, while pre-tax income increased $2 million, or 1%. PCG’s pre-tax margin on net revenues decreased to 7.5% as compared to 9.0% in the comparable prior year period.

Securities commissions and fees increased $357 million, or 24%.  A significant portion of this increase resulted from our acquisition of Morgan Keegan on April 2, 2012, which brought over 900 financial advisors into PCG, 863 of whom were retained through the February, 2013 integration of the Morgan Keegan operations into those of RJ&A. Although we have realized a 1% decrease in the total number of PCG financial advisors at June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012, the average productivity per financial advisor for the same comparable period has increased 7%. Client assets under administration increased $31 billion, or 9%, compared to the June 30, 2012 level, to $387 billion, primarily resulting from equity market conditions in the U.S., which were generally improved as compared to the prior year.


78


Client account and service fee revenues increased $16 million or 16%, over the prior year. The increase primarily results from an increase in the fees we receive, in lieu of interest earnings, from our multi-bank sweep program. Balances in this program increased primarily as a result of the addition of Morgan Keegan client accounts. In addition, annual fees associated with IRAs increased as a result of additional Morgan Keegan client accounts, as well as an increase in fees received from certain alternative investment funds resulting from an increase in assets invested in such funds.

Mutual fund and annuity service fees increased $23 million, or 24%, primarily as a result of an increase in mutual fund omnibus fees, education and marketing support fees, and NTF program revenues, all of which are paid to us by the mutual fund companies whose products we distribute.  In addition to an increase in the mutual fund assets on which these fees are generally paid, during the past year we implemented changes in the data sharing arrangements with many mutual fund companies, converting from a networking to an omnibus arrangement.  The fees earned from omnibus arrangements are greater than those under networking arrangements in order to compensate us for the additional reporting requirements performed by the broker-dealer under omnibus arrangements.  Effective with our mid-February 2013 platform integration, the former Morgan Keegan client mutual fund investments became eligible for our omnibus and EMS programs.

Partially offsetting the increases in revenues described above, client transaction fees decreased $5 million, or 30%, primarily as a result of certain mutual fund relationships converting over the past year to a NTF program and an April 2012 reduction in transaction fees associated with certain non-managed fee-based accounts.  Under the mutual fund NTF program, we receive increased fees from mutual fund companies which are included within mutual fund and annuity service fee revenue described above, but our clients no longer pay us transaction fees on mutual fund trades within certain of our managed programs.

Other revenues increased by $4 million, or 26%, primarily as a result of a foreign currency exchange gain resulting from our Canadian operations.

Total segment revenues increased 22%. The portion of total segment revenues that we consider to be recurring is approximately 66% at June 30, 2013, slightly higher than the September 30, 2012 level of 64%.  Recurring commission and fee revenues include asset based fees, trailing commissions from mutual funds and variable annuities/insurance products, mutual fund service fees, fees earned on funds in our multi-bank sweep program, and interest. Assets in fee-based accounts as of June 30, 2013 were $115 billion, an increase of 12% over the balances as of September 30, 2012.  

PCG net interest increased $3 million, or 5%, primarily resulting from increased client margin balances arising from the Morgan Keegan acquisition. Although client cash balances have increased significantly, given the extremely low rate of interest we earn and pay on client cash balances as a result of the interest rate environment during the periods, there is only a nominal impact on our net interest revenues resulting from the client cash balance increase.

Non-interest expenses increased $396 million, or 25%, over the prior year period.  Sales commission expense increased $255 million, or 24%, consistent with the 24% increase in commission and fee revenues.  Administrative and incentive compensation expenses increased $57 million, or 19%. This increase resulted primarily from the increases in salaries and benefits expense due to the increased support staff and information technology and operations headcount arising from the addition of the Morgan Keegan associates.  

Communications and information processing expense increased $45 million, or 57%. Computer software development costs and other information technology related costs, which include consulting expenses, increased over $37 million as compared to the prior year period as a result of various information technology enhancements to existing platforms, costs associated with operating two platforms for a portion of the year, and additional reporting requirements including regulatory requirements and expenses associated with omnibus arrangements (refer to the increase in mutual fund and annuity service fee revenue arising from these arrangements discussed above).

Clearance and other expenses increased $22 million, or 46%. These expense increases can generally be attributed to clearing and floor brokerage expenses resulting from the additional volume of client accounts and transactions arising from the Morgan Keegan acquisition, growth in our legacy operations, and the application of differing clearing charge allocation methodologies between segments within the historic MK & Co. operations which impact prior period comparisons.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $19 million, or 28%, primarily due to rent and other facility related expenses, associated with the increase of approximately 140 branch office locations resulting from the Morgan Keegan acquisition.

The Capital Markets segment consists primarily of equity and fixed income products and services.  The activities include institutional sales and trading in the U.S., Canada and Europe; management of and participation in public offerings; financial advisory services, including private placements and merger and acquisition services; public finance activities; and the syndication and related management of investment partnerships designed to yield returns in the form of low-income housing tax credits to institutions.  We provide securities brokerage services to institutions with an emphasis on the sale of U.S. and Canadian equities and fixed income products. Institutional sales commissions are driven primarily through trade volume, resulting from a combination of participation in public offerings, general market activity, and by the Capital Markets group’s ability to find attractive investment opportunities and promote those opportunities to potential and existing clients.  Revenues from investment banking activities are driven principally by our role in the offering and the number and dollar value of the transactions with which we are involved.  This segment also includes trading of taxable and tax-exempt fixed income products, as well as equity securities in the OTC and Canadian markets.  This trading involves the purchase of securities from, and the sale of securities to, our clients as well as other dealers who may be purchasing or selling securities for their own account or acting as agent for their clients.  Profits and losses related to this trading activity are primarily derived from the spreads between bid and ask prices, as well as market trends for the individual securities during the period we hold them.

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 – Capital Markets

Pre-tax income in the Capital Markets segment decreased $12 million, or 44%.

Net revenues decreased by $39 million, or 16%, primarily resulting from a $23 million, or 23%, decrease in institutional fixed income sales commissions, a $16 million, or 125%, decrease in net trading profit, and a $6 million, or 17%, decrease in securities underwriting fees, which were partially offset by a $5 million, or 9%, increase in institutional equity sales commissions.

The decrease in fixed income institutional sales commissions over the prior year quarter are primarily due to the challenging fixed income market conditions during the current year quarter. The 10-year benchmark interest rate increased over 60 basis points over a very short period of time (late May through June 30, 2013), resulting in very little demand for municipal fixed income securities in the market. Fixed income trading results were negatively impacted by this difficult municipal bond market. In response to this significant interest rate movement and in order to mitigate further risk of loss, we reduced our inventories of municipal securities during such time to extremely low levels, refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for information on our levels of trading instruments held at period end. For the current year quarter, our trading loss was predominately driven by losses on municipal securities.

The number of lead and co-managed underwritings during the current period increased in our U.S. operations as compared to the prior year quarter, however the resulting revenues decreased compared to the prior year quarter levels as the average amount of the capital raised was significantly lower.  Capital markets activities in our Canadian operations remained sluggish in the current period, continuing to reflect the adverse market conditions which existed throughout the prior fiscal year, particularly in the businesses in which we focus such as natural resources.

Non-interest expenses decreased $26 million, or 11%, compared to the prior year quarter.  Sales commission expense decreased $6 million, or 10%, which is directly correlated to the 11% decrease in overall institutional sales commission revenues. Administrative and incentive compensation and benefit expense decreased $11 million, or 9%, primarily driven by decreased incentive compensation expense resulting from the lower levels of profitability as well as well as a decrease in the number of fixed income personnel resulting from planned staff reductions as compared to the prior year. Clearance and other expense decreased $12 million, or 59%, primarily resulting from a decrease in clearing expense allocated to the capital markets segment. As a result of the application of differing clearing charge allocation methodologies between segments within the historic MK & Co. operations, the comparison of the current quarter to the prior year quarter for clearing charges in the Capital Markets segment is favorable (refer to the PCG results of operations herein for a discussion of an offsetting unfavorable comparison to the prior year quarter within that segment).

Losses of real estate partnerships held by consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) result directly from the consolidation of certain low-income housing tax credit funds. Since we only hold an insignificant interest in these consolidated funds, nearly all of these losses are attributable to others and are therefore included in the offsetting noncontrolling interests. Refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information on the consolidation of VIEs.
 
Noncontrolling interests includes the impact of consolidating certain low-income housing tax credit funds, which impacts other revenue, interest expense, and losses of real estate partnerships held by consolidated VIEs (as described in the preceding paragraph), reflecting the portion of these consolidated entities which we do not own.  Total segment expenses attributable to noncontrolling interest increased by $1 million as compared to the prior year quarter.

Nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2012 – Capital Markets

Pre-tax income in the Capital Markets segment increased $3 million, or 5%.

Certain of the Capital Markets businesses of Morgan Keegan were immediately integrated into RJ&A’s operations on the date of acquisition. Other Morgan Keegan Capital Markets businesses were integrated into RJ&A over time. Morgan Keegan equity capital markets and fixed income operations are included in the current year results, therefore, comparisons of our legacy capital markets operations, especially fixed income operations, to our current operations, are not meaningful. As of mid-February 2013, all of the MK & Co. Capital Markets businesses have been integrated into RJ&A.


81


Our fixed income revenues were significantly higher for the current period as compared to the prior year period primarily driven by the April, 2012 acquisition of Morgan Keegan. The combination of our former fixed income operations with Morgan Keegan’s fixed income operations results in a combined department that is approximately three times the size of our legacy fixed income business.

Net revenues increased by $125 million, or 23%, primarily resulting from a $88 million, or 52%, increase in institutional fixed income sales commissions, a $28 million, or 45%, increase in merger and acquisition fees, a $19 million, or 12%, increase in institutional equity sales commissions, and an $11 million, or 15%, increase in securities underwriting fees. These increases are partially offset by a $20 million, or 65%, decrease in trading profits and a $6 million, or 25%, decrease in tax credit fund syndication fee revenues.

The number of lead and co-managed underwritings, as well as merger & acquisition transactions, during the current year have increased significantly in our U.S. operations as compared to the prior year.  In the latter part of the first quarter of our fiscal 2013, concerns related to the then pending fiscal cliff crisis had, at least in part, a favorable impact on our equity capital markets business as underwriting and merger and acquisition activity improved significantly as issuers sought to complete certain equity transactions in advance of any anticipated tax law changes. The activity levels experienced in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 slowed considerably in the second fiscal quarter, and recovered somewhat in the third quarter. For the current nine month period, the most significant increases in merger and acquisition fees by sector, as compared to the prior year period, occurred in the technology & communications, energy, government services & communications, consumer & retail, and the financial services sectors. Capital markets activities in our Canadian operations have remained sluggish in the current year, continuing to reflect the adverse market conditions which existed throughout the prior fiscal year, particularly in the businesses in which we focus such as natural resources.

The $88 million increase in fixed income institutional sales commissions over the prior year is primarily due to the increased size of our fixed income operations after the Morgan Keegan acquisition and the inclusion of nine months of the combined entities operations in the current year period as compared to only three months in the prior year period. Our significantly larger public finance fixed income operations as a result of the Morgan Keegan acquisition favorably impacted both our investment banking revenues and our securities commissions and fees. Despite our significantly enhanced fixed income trading capacity after the Morgan Keegan acquisition, our trading profit results for the current year, while positive overall, have been unfavorably impacted by adverse conditions in the municipal fixed income market. This market has been impacted during the current year by a number of factors. Municipal fixed income markets were negatively impacted during December 2012 by discussions and rumors regarding potential changes in the tax laws pertaining to limits, or caps, on the tax-exempt advantages of municipal fixed income instruments (the “fiscal cliff”). In response to these uncertainties, interest rates on municipal securities increased during December 2012 which negatively impacted our trading results during the period. During the June 2013 quarter, the 10-year benchmark interest rate increased over 60 basis points over a very short period of time (May through June 30, 2013), resulting in very little demand for municipal fixed income securities in the market and difficult trading conditions in the municipal bond market. These factors, considered in conjunction with what were strong municipal fixed income trading results in the prior year period, result in unfavorable trading profits in year over year comparisons.

The decrease in tax credit syndication fee revenues results from an increase in the amount of fee revenues that have been deferred in the current period, to be recognized at later dates upon completion of certain criteria. The volume of equity sold in the current period is slightly higher than the equity volume sold in the prior period.

Non-interest expenses increased $125 million, or 24%, over the prior year primarily driven by the addition of the Morgan Keegan fixed income operations.  Sales commission expense increased $53 million, or 46%, which is correlated with the increase in overall institutional sales commission revenues of 32%, and includes the impact of the shift to a higher proportion of commissions being fixed income sales which are paid higher commissions. Administrative and incentive compensation and benefit expense increased $48 million, or 18%, primarily driven by the significant increase in personnel from the Morgan Keegan acquisition. Communications and information processing expense increased $9 million, or 21%, as a result of new technology initiatives and the addition of Morgan Keegan. Goodwill impairment expense associated with RJES of $7 million (see discussion below) and a $6 million increase in losses of real estate partnerships held by consolidated variable interest entities (discussed below) contributed to the year over year increase in other expense. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in clearance and other expense of $4 million, or 15%. The decrease results primarily from the application of differing clearing charge allocation methodologies between the Capital Markets and the PCG segments within the historic MK & Co. operations which favorably impact prior period comparisons (refer to the PCG results of operations herein for a discussion of an offsetting unfavorable prior period comparison within that segment).


82


During the second fiscal quarter, we incurred impairment expense associated with the RJES operations of $6.9 million. However, since we did not own 100% of RJES as of March 31, 2013, $2.3 million of this expense is attributable to others and is included in the offsetting noncontrolling interests amount attributable to others. Therefore the net impact of this goodwill impairment on the pre-tax results after consideration of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests is $4.6 million. Refer to the goodwill section of this Item 2 and Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information on this goodwill impairment expense.

Losses of real estate partnerships held by consolidated VIEs result directly from the consolidation of certain low-income housing tax credit funds. Since we only hold an insignificant interest in these consolidated funds, nearly all of these losses are attributable to others and are therefore included in the offsetting noncontrolling interests. Refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information on the consolidation of VIEs.
 
Noncontrolling interests include the consolidation of RJES (prior to April 2013) and the impact of consolidating certain low-income housing tax credit funds, which impacts other revenue, interest expense, and losses of real estate partnerships held by consolidated VIEs (as described in the previous paragraph) reflecting the portion of these consolidated entities which we do not own.  Total segment expenses attributable to noncontrolling interest increased by $3 million as compared to the prior year period in part a result of the portions of the RJES goodwill impairment expense attributable to others as well as the increase in losses of real estate partnerships held by VIEs.

The Asset Management segment includes the operations of Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Eagle”), the Eagle Family of Funds, the asset management operations of RJ&A, Raymond James Trust, and other fee-based programs.  The majority of the revenue for this segment is generated by the investment advisory fees related to asset management services for individual investment portfolios, mutual funds and managed programs.  Asset balances are impacted by both the performance of the market and the net sales and redemptions of client accounts/funds. Rising markets positively impact revenues from investment advisory fees as existing accounts increase in value, and individuals and institutions typically commit incremental funds in rising markets.

Managed Programs

As of June 30, 2013, approximately 82% of investment advisory fees recorded in this segment are earned from assets held in managed programs.  Of these revenues, approximately 55% of our investment advisory fees recorded in a quarter are determined based on balances at the beginning of a quarter, approximately 30% are based on balances at the end of the quarter and the remaining 15% are computed based on average assets throughout the quarter.

On December 24, 2012 (the “ClariVest Acquisition Date”), we completed our acquisition of a 45% interest in ClariVest, an acquisition that bolsters our platform in the large-cap strategy space. ClariVest, manages more than $3 billion in client assets and currently markets its investment services to corporate and public pension plans, foundations, endowments and Taft-Hartley clients worldwide. As a result of certain protective rights we have under the operating agreement with ClariVest, we are consolidating ClariVest in our financial statements as of the ClariVest Acquisition Date. In addition, a put and call agreement was entered into on the ClariVest Acquisition Date that provides our wholly owned Eagle Asset Management, Inc. subsidiary with various paths to majority ownership in ClariVest, the timing of which would depend upon the financial results of ClariVest’s business and the tenure of existing ClariVest management. The results of operations of ClariVest have been included in our results prospectively from December 24, 2012.

Non-Managed Programs

As of June 30, 2013, approximately 18% of investment advisory fees revenue recorded in this segment are earned from assets held in non-managed programs and all such investment advisory fees are determined based on balances at the beginning of the quarter.

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 – Asset Management

Pre-tax income in the Asset Management segment increased $7 million, or 41%, over the prior year quarter. Investment advisory fee revenue increased by $14 million, or 28%, primarily generated by an increase in assets under management. 

Total assets under management in managed programs have increased $11.3 billion, or 28%, since June 30, 2012 resulting from a combination of net inflows of client assets, net market appreciation, and net inflows resulting from the ClariVest acquisition.

Total assets under management in non-managed programs have increased $10 billion, or 19%, since June 30, 2012 resulting from net inflows of client assets and net market appreciation.

Other revenue increased by $2 million, or 18%, primarily resulting from an increase in fee income generated by our Raymond James Trust (“RJT”) subsidiary reflecting a 23% increase in RJT client assets as compared to the prior year, to $2.8 billion at June 30, 2013.

Expenses increased by approximately $9 million, or 20%, resulting from a $3 million, or 16%, increase in administrative and performance based incentive compensation, a $2 million, or 32%, increase in investment sub-advisory fees, a $1 million, or 31% increase in communications and information processing expense, and a $1 million, or 15%, increase in other expenses.  The increase in administrative and performance based incentive compensation is a result of the combination of increases in salary expenses resulting from the addition of ClariVest, annual increases and additions to staff associated with our legacy operations, as well as an increase in performance compensation which is directly related to the increase in investment advisory fee revenues. The increase in investment sub-advisory fee expense is directly related to the increase in advisory fees paid to the external managers associated with certain assets included within the UMA and Raymond James Consulting Services programs. The increase in communications and information processing expense is primarily a result of the addition of the ClariVest operations and costs associated with the implementation of a new back-office system supporting this segment. The increase in other expense is primarily due to increases in the costs incurred so that certain funds sponsored by Eagle are available as investment choices on the platforms of other broker-dealers and increases in expenses of RJT resulting from the increase in client assets.

Nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2012 – Asset Management

Pre-tax income in the Asset Management segment increased $16 million, or 33%. Investment advisory fee revenue increased by $31 million, or 21%, generated by an increase in assets under management.  Assets under management in both managed and non-managed programs have increased substantially since the prior year. Refer to the tables above for information regarding the increases in the balances of assets under management.

Other revenue increased by over $5 million, or 17%, primarily resulting from an increase in fee income generated by our RJT subsidiary reflecting a 23% increase in RJT client assets as compared to the prior year.

Expenses increased by approximately $19 million, or 15%, resulting from a $8 million, or 14%, increase in administrative and performance based incentive compensation, a $4 million, or 21%, increase in investment sub-advisory fees, a $3 million, or 13%, increase in other expenses and a $2 million, or 16%, increase in communications and information processing expense.  These increases were driven by the same factors as those described in the discussion of the quarter above.

RJ Bank is a national bank, regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), which provides corporate, residential and consumer loans, as well as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured deposit accounts, to clients of our broker-dealer subsidiaries and to the general public.  RJ Bank is active in corporate loan syndications and participations, and also purchases commercial loans in the secondary market.  Residential mortgage loans are originated and held for investment or sold in the secondary market.  RJ Bank generates revenue principally through the interest income earned on loans and investments, which is offset by the interest expense it pays on client deposits and on its borrowings.

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 – RJ Bank

Pre-tax income generated by the RJ Bank segment increased $3 million, or 5%.  The improvement in pre-tax income was primarily attributable to a decrease of $11 million, or 123%, in the provision for loan losses, offset by a $7 million, or 8% decrease in net revenues and a $1 million, or 7%, increase in non-interest expenses (excluding provision for loan losses). The $7 million decline in net revenues was attributable to a $6 million decrease in other revenues and a $1 million decrease in net interest income.
 
Net interest income decreased $1 million, primarily as a result of a decrease in net interest margin offset by a $1.3 billion increase in average interest-earning banking assets. The yield on interest-earning banking assets decreased to 3.27% from 3.80% in the prior year due to declines in both the loan and investment yields as well as an increase in lower yielding average cash balances. The loan portfolio yield decreased to 3.81% from 4.29% in the prior year due to a reduction in the corporate loan portfolio yield resulting from tightened spreads and the repricing of existing loans at lower rates. In addition, there was a decline in the residential mortgage loan portfolio yield resulting from adjustable rate loans resetting at lower rates and lower rates on new production. Primarily as a result of the decrease in the yield of the average interest-earning assets, the net interest margin decreased to 3.20% from 3.69%. This increase in average interest-earning banking assets was driven by an $816 million increase in average loans and a $478 million increase in average cash. The significant increase in average loans as compared to the prior year quarter resulted from a strong corporate lending market, including our Canadian lending operation (which began in late February 2012), and growth in the recently introduced securities based lending product.

Corresponding to the increase in average interest-earning banking assets, average interest-bearing banking liabilities increased $1.2 billion to $9.3 billion.

The decrease in other income as compared to the prior year was primarily due to a $3 million market loss with respect to RJ Bank’s Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans held for sale in the current year, a non-recurring gain of $2 million resulting from a settlement with a residential mortgage loan servicer in the prior year, and a $1 million negative change related to a foreign currency loss in the current year.

The significant reduction in provision for loan losses resulted from a decrease in corporate criticized loans compared to the prior year, the favorable resolution of several corporate problem loans, lower loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios in the residential mortgage loan portfolio, and a significant reduction in delinquent residential mortgage loans. These credit characteristics reflected the positive impact from improved economic conditions. Net loan charge-offs increased $1 million, or 15%, to $6 million as compared to the prior year, which was attributable to the movement of a couple corporate loans to nonaccrual during the quarter for which the related provision was recorded in prior periods.
As a result of the loan loss benefit and the charge-off of corporate loans for which loan loss provision was recorded in prior periods, the allowance for loan losses decreased to $142 million as of June 30, 2013 from $149 million as of June 30, 2012.
The $1 million increase in non-interest expenses (excluding provision for loan losses) as compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to a $1 million, or 15%, increase in compensation and benefits related to staff additions and a $1 million increase in affiliate deposit account servicing fees resulting from increased deposit balances, which were offset by a $1 million decrease in valuation write-downs for other real estate owned.

Nonaccrual loans are included in the average loan balances. Payment or income received on corporate nonaccrual loans are applied to principal. Income on all other nonaccrual loans is recognized on a cash basis. Fee income on loans included in interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $13 million and $16 million, respectively.

(2)
The CRE Construction yield was positively impacted by a loan payoff with a significant unearned discount. Excluding the recognition of income related to this loan payoff, the yield was 4.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

(3)
Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (“NOW”) account.

(4)
Excluding the impact of excess RJBDP deposits held during the three months ended June 30, 2013, the net interest spread and margin was 3.39% and 3.41%, respectively. Excluding the impact of excess RJBDP deposits held during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, the net interest spread and margin was 3.78% and 3.79%, respectively. These deposits arose from higher cash balances in firm client accounts due to the market volatility, thus exceeding RJBDP capacity at outside financial institutions in the program. These deposits were invested in short-term liquid investments producing very little net interest spread.


91


Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning banking assets and liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on RJ Bank’s interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on its interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period’s average yield/cost. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average yield/cost by the previous year’s volume. Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

Nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2012 – RJ Bank

Pre-tax income generated by the RJ Bank segment increased $25 million, or 15%.  The improvement in pre-tax income was primarily attributable to an increase of $14 million, or 6%, in net revenues and a $17 million, or 79%, decrease in the provision for loan losses, offset by a $6 million, or 12%, increase in non-interest expenses (excluding provision for loan losses).
 
Net revenue was positively impacted by a $21 million increase in net interest income and a $3 million reduction in other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses on our available for sale securities portfolio, partially offset by a $5 million negative change related to foreign currency activities, a $2 million market loss with respect to RJ Bank’s SBA loans held for sale, a prior year, non-recurring gain of $2 million resulting from a settlement with a residential mortgage loan servicer, and a $2 million loss in the valuation of RJ Bank’s bank-owned life insurance.
 

92


Net interest income increased $21 million, primarily as a result of a $1.3 billion increase in average interest-earning banking assets. This increase in average interest-earning banking assets was driven by a $1.2 billion increase in average loans as well as increases in both average investments and cash. The significant increase in average loans as compared to the prior year resulted from a strong corporate lending market, including our Canadian lending operation (which began in late February 2012), and growth in the recently introduced securities based lending product. The yield on interest-earning banking assets decreased to 3.42% from 3.59% in the prior year due to declines in both the loan and investment yields. The loan portfolio yield decreased to 3.95% from 4.21% in the prior year due to a reduction in the corporate loan portfolio yield resulting from tightened spreads and the repricing of existing loans at lower rates. In addition, the yield of the residential mortgage loan portfolio declined as a result of adjustable rate loans resetting at lower rates and lower rates on new production. Primarily as a result of the decrease in the yield of the average interest-earning assets, the net interest margin decreased to 3.32% from 3.49%.

Corresponding to the increase in interest-earning banking assets, average interest-bearing banking liabilities increased $1.2 billion to $9.2 billion.
 
The significant reduction in the provision for loan losses resulted from a decrease in corporate criticized loans, the favorable resolution of several corporate problem loans, lower LTV ratios in the residential mortgage loan portfolio, and a significant reduction in residential mortgage delinquent loans. These credit characteristics reflected the positive impact from improved economic conditions. Net loan charge-offs decreased $9 million, or 50%, to $9 million.
The $6 million increase in non-interest expenses (excluding provision for loan losses) as compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to a $3 million increase in affiliate deposit account servicing fees resulting from increased deposit balances, a $2 million, or 17%, increase in compensation and benefits related to staff additions, and a $1 million increase in affiliate fees related to our securities based lending business.

During the last week of October, 2012, the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S. suffered severe damage from Hurricane Sandy and related storms.  As a result of our review of our loans in the affected area, there is currently no indication that this weather related event will have a significant impact on our portfolio. To date, we have not suffered any losses with respect to this event, and we don’t expect it to have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations in fiscal year 2013.

Nonaccrual loans are included in the average loan balances. Payment or income received on corporate nonaccrual loans are applied to principal. Income on all other nonaccrual loans is recognized on a cash basis. Fee income on loans included in interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $38 million, in both periods.

(2)
The CRE Construction yield was positively impacted by a loan payoff with a significant unearned discount. Excluding the recognition of income related to this loan payoff, the yield was 7.21% for the nine months ended June 30, 2012.

(3)
Excluding the impact of excess RJBDP deposits held during the nine month period ended June 30, 2013, the net interest spread and margin was 3.50% and 3.51%, respectively. Excluding the impact of excess RJBDP deposits held during the nine month period ended June 30, 2012, the net interest spread and margin was 3.71% and 3.73%, respectively. These deposits arose from higher cash balances in firm client accounts due to the market volatility, thus exceeding RJBDP capacity at outside financial institutions in the program. These deposits were invested in short-term liquid investments producing very little net interest spread.

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning banking assets and liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on RJ Bank’s interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on its interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of changes in volume is determined by multiplying the change in volume by the previous period’s average yield/cost. Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average yield/cost by the previous year’s volume. Changes applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

The Emerging Markets segment includes the results from our joint ventures in Latin America including Argentina and Uruguay. During the first fiscal quarter of 2013, we ceased our operations in Brazil.

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 – Emerging Markets

The Emerging Markets segment generated pre-tax income of approximately $500 thousand, an increase of $2.6 million, or 121%, over the pre-tax loss generated in the prior year period.

Total revenues increased approximately $1.3 million as compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to a $800 thousand increase in investment advisory fee revenues and a $600 thousand increase in security commissions and fees. Our Argentine asset management joint venture realized the increase in investment advisory fee revenues as a result of a substantial increase in assets under management.

Non-interest expenses decreased by $1.5 million, as compared to the prior year period primarily resulting from the reduction of expenses resulting from the closure of our operations in Brazil which occurred in the first quarter of this fiscal year.

Nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2012 – Emerging Markets

The pre-tax loss generated by the Emerging Markets segment decreased $5 million, or 86%.

Total revenues approximate the prior year period. A $3.3 million decrease in investment banking revenues is offset by a $2.1 million increase in investment advisory fee revenues and a $1.1 million increase in securities commissions and fees. The prior years investment banking revenues were favorably impacted by the recognition of previously deferred investment banking advisory fee revenues associated with the advisory role of our Argentine joint venture to one of its institutional clients. Such investment banking revenues did not recur in the current period. However, our Argentine asset management joint venture has realized an increase in investment advisory fee revenues as a result of a substantial increase in assets under management.

Non-interest expenses decreased by $5 million, primarily resulting from a decrease in compensation expense resulting from lower investment banking revenues described above, and a decrease in compensation expense resulting from closing our operations in Brazil in the first quarter of this fiscal year.

This segment conducts its business through the borrowing and lending of securities from and to other broker-dealers, financial institutions and other counterparties.  Generally, we conduct these activities as an intermediary (referred to as “Matched Book”).  However, Securities Lending will also loan customer marginable securities held in a margin account containing a debit (referred to as lending from the “Box”) to counterparties. The borrower of the securities puts up a cash deposit on which interest is earned.  The lender in turn receives cash and pays interest. These cash deposits are adjusted daily to reflect changes in the current market value of the underlying securities. Additionally, securities are borrowed from other broker-dealers (referred to as borrowing for the “Box”) to facilitate RJ&A’s clearance and settlement obligations.  The net revenues of this operation are the interest spreads generated.

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 – Securities Lending

Pre-tax income generated by this segment increased approximately $800 thousand, or 68%.

The overall increase results primarily from higher net interest income from our Box lending activities, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income from our Matched Book lending activities.  In the Box lending activities, we incurred a $1 million increase in net interest income resulting from an increase in net interest spreads that more than offset a decrease in average balances outstanding. In the Matched Book lending activities, our net interest income decreased by approximately $100 thousand resulting from a decrease in both our average balances outstanding as well as net interest spreads.

Nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2012 – Securities Lending

Pre-tax income generated by this segment decreased by approximately $400 thousand, or 12%.

The decrease results primarily from the decrease in net interest income arising from both our Box lending activities and our Matched Book lending activities.  In the Box lending activities, net interest income is $500 thousand less than the prior year period due to a decrease in the average balances outstanding, partially offset by an increase in net interest spreads. In the Matched Book lending activities, our net interest income also decreased by approximately $500 thousand resulting from a decrease in both our average balances outstanding as well as the net interest spread. Non-interest expenses have decreased approximately $400 thousand compared to the prior year level.

The Proprietary Capital segment results are substantially determined by the valuations within Raymond James Capital Partners, L.P. (“Capital Partners”), Raymond James Employee Investment Funds I and II (the “EIF Funds”), our direct merchant banking and private equity investments (the “Third Party Private Funds”), and various direct and third party private equity and merchant banking investments, employee investment funds and private equity funds of Morgan Keegan (the “Morgan Keegan Private Equity Portfolio”).

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 – Proprietary Capital

Pre-tax income generated by this segment increased by approximately $9 million

In the current period, the investment banking revenue was the result of an advisory fee related to the sale of Capital Partners’ investment in Albion, which was completed on April 29, 2013. Other revenues in the current quarter include favorable valuation adjustments of other various portfolio investments totaling approximately $6 million, a $1 million increase in the valuation of the EIF Funds, and $9 million in valuation increases and distributions related to investments in the Morgan Keegan Private Equity Portfolio. The portion of the revenue attributable to the noncontrolling interests is approximately $4 million.

In the comparable prior year period, total revenues resulted primarily from a net valuation increase in Albion of $19 million, as well as $9 million in revenues (a combination of dividends received and valuation increases) from various other investments, partially offset by a $3 million valuation decrease of a crime investigation and forensic supply company investment (the “Forensic Company”) in our merchant banking portfolio. The portion of the revenue attributable to noncontrolling interests in the comparable prior period was significant as approximately $14 million of the net valuation increase in Albion, and a portion of the increase in certain other investments, is attributable to others.

Nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2012 – Proprietary Capital

Pre-tax income generated by this segment increased by approximately $31 million.  


99


In the current year period, total revenues of $105 million resulted primarily from $74 million of favorable valuation adjustments and distributions received from Albion ($65 million of favorable valuation adjustments and $9 million results from dividends received). The final Albion valuation adjustment was based on the terms reflected in the April 29, 2013 sale of Albion. In addition, approximately $20 million of revenue resulted from either distributions received, or valuation adjustments related to a number of the Morgan Keegan Private Equity Portfolio investments, $6 million results from favorable valuations of various other investments in our portfolio, partially offset by a $1 million decrease in the valuation of the Forensic Company. We also received $3 million in investment banking advisory fee revenues related to Capital Partners’ sale of Albion.

The increase in non-interest expenses of approximately $3 million results from increased incentive compensation expenses associated with the favorable performance of the investments, as well as certain sub-advisory expenses associated with the Morgan Keegan Private Equity Portfolio.

The portion of revenue attributable to noncontrolling interests in the current period is significant as approximately $50 million of the Albion revenues, $6 million of the revenues associated with the Morgan Keegan Private Equity Portfolio (which is a combination of distributions received and valuation increases), and $4 million of revenues from various other investments in our portfolio, relate to the portion of those investments that we do not own.

In the comparable prior year period, total revenues resulted primarily from dividend income and a net valuation increase in Albion of $30 million, as well as $11 million in interest, dividend distributions and net valuation increases of other investments in the portfolio, partially offset by a $3 million valuation decrease of the Forensic Company. The portion of the revenue attributable to noncontrolling interests in the prior period attributable to Albion was approximately $23 million, while $5 million of the revenues associated with various other investments in our portfolio were attributable to the portion of those investments we do not own.

This segment includes various corporate overhead costs, our acquisition and integration related expenses primarily associated with our April 2, 2012 acquisition of Morgan Keegan, and interest expense on our senior debt.

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012 – Other

The pre-tax loss generated by this segment decreased by approximately $5 million, or 10%.

Other revenues in this segment increased approximately $1 million. In the prior year quarter, other revenues included nearly $1 million in OTTI losses on certain of our ARS portfolio, such losses did not recur in the current period.

Acquisition related expenses, which are primarily comprised of expenses associated with the integration of Morgan Keegan’s operations into our own, decreased $8 million, or 36%, resulting primarily from lower severance expenses in the current period as compared to the prior year period. These expenses for the current quarter include severance and integration costs (see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information).


100


Other expense increased approximately $5 million resulting primarily from an increase in corporate advertising expense and incentive compensation expense.

Nine months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2012 - Other

The pre-tax loss generated by this segment increased by approximately $27 million, or 27%.

Total revenues increased by approximately $6 million compared to the prior year period primarily resulting from realized and unrealized gains on certain investments and a decrease in OTTI losses associated with our ARS portfolio as compared to the prior year. There were no OTTI losses arising from the ARS portfolio in the current year period, the prior period included $1.4 million in OTTI losses pertaining to the ARS portfolio.

Interest expense increased $18 million over the prior year period.  The increase primarily results from our March 2012 issuances of $350 million 6.9% senior notes and $250 million 5.625% senior notes, as well as interest expense associated with borrowings under certain credit agreements with Regions Bank (as more fully described in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q). Both of the March 2012 debt offerings and the borrowings from Regions Bank were part of our acquisition financing activities and other transactions associated with the Morgan Keegan acquisition.

Acquisition related expenses increased $11 million, and are primarily comprised of expenses associated with our acquisition of Morgan Keegan but also including certain expenses incurred in our acquisition of ClariVest. These expenses include financial advisory fee expenses, severance related expenses, integration costs and other acquisition related expenses (see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information).  

Other expenses increased $3 million in the current period primarily as a result of an increase in incentive compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is essential to our business.  The primary goal of our liquidity management activities is to ensure adequate funding to conduct our business over a range of market environments.

Senior management establishes our liquidity and capital policies. These policies include senior management’s review of short- and long-term cash flow forecasts, review of monthly capital expenditures, the monitoring of the availability of alternative sources of financing, and the daily monitoring of liquidity in our significant subsidiaries. Our decisions on the allocation of capital to our business units consider, among other factors, projected profitability and cash flow, risk and impact on future liquidity needs. Our treasury departments assist in evaluating, monitoring and controlling the impact that our business activities have on our financial condition, liquidity and capital structure as well as maintain our relationships with various lenders. The objectives of these policies are to support the successful execution of our business strategies while ensuring ongoing and sufficient liquidity.

Liquidity is provided primarily through our business operations and financing activities.  Financing activities could include bank borrowings, repurchase agreement transactions or additional capital raising activities under our “universal” shelf registration statement.

Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $413 million. Operating cash generated by successful operating results over the period resulted in a $349 million increase in cash.  The increase in operating cash included an increase in brokerage client payables and other accounts payable of $682 million, largely the result of an increase in client cash deposits during the period. A decrease in trading instruments held resulted in an increase of $339 million in operating cash. A decrease in brokerage client and other receivables resulted in an increase of $30 million in operating cash. Partially offsetting these activities which resulted in increases of cash, decreases in cash resulted from the following activities. An increase in assets segregated pursuant to regulations and other segregated assets resulted in a $667 million use of cash due to the increase in brokerage client deposits. An increase in securities purchased under agreements to resell, net of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, resulted in a $113 million use of operating cash. An increase in prepaid expenses and other assets resulted in a $76 million use of cash. Purchases and originations of loans held for sale, net of proceeds from sales of securitizations and loans held for sale, resulted in a decrease of $53 million of operating cash. We used $51 million in operating cash as the accrued compensation, commissions and benefits decreased partially resulting from the annual payment of certain incentive awards. A decrease in the stock loaned, net of stock borrowed balances resulted in a $32 million use of operating cash, due to a decrease in stock loan demand. All other components of operating activities combined to net a $5 million increase in operating cash.

Investing activities resulted in the use of $276 million of cash during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.  The primary investing activity was the use of $471 million in cash to fund an increase in bank loans.  Additionally, we invested $66 million in equipment assets, primarily comprised of technology assets. Net of the cash acquired, we invested $6 million in the acquisition of a 45% interest in ClariVest. Partially offsetting these uses of cash, we generated cash through the sale of private equity investments, net of purchases or additional equity investments, of $231 million, driven most significantly by the sale of our indirect investment in Albion. We received proceeds from the maturation, repayment, redemption or sale of securities in our available for sale security portfolio of $33 million, net of purchases of additional securities. All other components of investing activities combined to net a $3 million increase in cash.

Financing activities provided $477 million of cash during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.  Increases in RJ Bank customer deposits provided $531 million, while proceeds from short-term borrowings provided $212 million of cash. We received $51 million in cash upon the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchases. Partially offsetting the increases, $252 million of cash was used to repay borrowings ($128 million of the total is due to the repayment of a borrowing from Regions Bank, which was subsequently converted to a secured revolving credit facility (refer to Notes 12 and 13 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information)). We used $57 million in payment of dividends to our shareholders. All other components of financing activities combined to net a $8 million use of cash.

We believe our existing assets, most of which are liquid in nature, together with funds generated from operations and committed and uncommitted financing facilities, should provide adequate funds for continuing operations at current levels of activity.

Sources of Liquidity

Approximately $758 million of our total June 30, 2013 cash and cash equivalents (a portion of which is invested on behalf of the parent company by RJ&A) was available to us without restrictions. Total cash and cash equivalents held were as follows:

In addition to the liquidity on hand described above, we have other various potential sources of liquidity which are described below.

Liquidity Available from Subsidiaries

Liquidity is principally available to the parent company from RJ&A, MK & Co., and RJ Bank.

RJ&A is required to maintain net capital equal to the greater of $1 million or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions. Covenants in RJ&A’s committed secured financing facilities require its net capital to be a minimum of 10% of aggregate debit balances.  At June 30, 2013, RJ&A exceeded both the minimum regulatory and its financing covenants net capital requirements. At that date, RJ&A had excess net capital of approximately $372 million, of which approximately $127 million is available for dividend while still maintaining its internal target net capital ratio of 15% of aggregate debit items.  There are also limitations on the amount of dividends that may be declared by a broker-dealer without Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approval.

MK & Co. is also required to maintain net capital. At June 30, 2013, MK & Co. exceeded the minimum regulatory net capital requirements and had excess net capital of approximately $127 million. Limitations on the amount of dividends that may be declared by a broker-dealer without FINRA approval also apply to MK & Co. As described in Note 1 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, in mid-February 2013 the client accounts of MK & Co. were transferred to RJ&A which resulted in a significant change in the nature of the MK & Co. entity’s business operations. After these transfers, MK & Co.’s internal target capital amount is approximately $5 million, resulting in $122 million of capital in excess of its targeted level as of June 30, 2013. Subsequent to quarter end and inclusive of July, 2013 activity, FINRA approved a dividend from MK & Co. to RJF which will increase the balance of RJF’s cash available without restriction by approximately $122 million.

RJ Bank may pay dividends to the parent company without prior approval by its regulator as long as the dividend does not exceed the sum of RJ Bank’s current calendar year and the previous two calendar years’ retained net income, and RJ Bank maintains its targeted capital to risk-weighted assets ratios.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, RJ Bank made $50 million in dividend payments to RJF.  RJ Bank had approximately $79 million of capital in excess of the amount it would need as of June 30, 2013 to maintain its targeted total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12.5%.

Liquidity available to us from our subsidiaries, other than RJ&A, MK & Co., and RJ Bank, is relatively insignificant and in certain instances may be subject to regulatory requirements.

Our ability to borrow is dependent upon compliance with the conditions in the various committed loan agreements and collateral eligibility requirements. 

(2)
Lenders are under no contractual obligation to lend to us under uncommitted credit facilities.

(3)
RJ Securities, Inc. is the borrower under the “New Regions Credit Agreement,” see Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for discussion of the terms of this committed secured borrowing facility.

The committed domestic financing arrangements are in the form of either tri-party repurchase agreements or a secured line of credit.  The uncommitted domestic financing arrangements are in the form of secured lines of credit, secured bilateral or tri-party repurchase agreements, or unsecured lines of credit.

We maintain three unsecured settlement lines of credit available to our Argentine joint venture in the aggregate amount of $13 million. Of the aggregate amount, one settlement line for $9 million is guaranteed by RJF. There were no borrowings outstanding on any of these lines of credit as of June 30, 2013.

RJ Bank has $981 million in immediate credit available from the FHLB on June 30, 2013 and total available credit of 30% of total assets, with the pledge of additional collateral to the FHLB.

RJ Bank is eligible to participate in the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (the “Fed”) discount-window program; however, RJ Bank does not view borrowings from the Fed as a primary means of funding.  The credit available in this program is subject to periodic review and may be terminated or reduced at the discretion of the Fed.

From time to time we purchase short-term securities under agreements to resell (“Reverse Repurchase Agreements”) and sell securities under agreements to repurchase (“Repurchase Agreements”).  We account for each of these types of transactions as collateralized financings with the outstanding balances on the Repurchase Agreements included in securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  At June 30, 2013, collateralized financings outstanding in the amount of $248 million are included in securities sold under agreements to repurchase on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Of this total, outstanding balances on the committed and uncommitted Repurchase Agreements (which are reflected in the table of domestic financing arrangements above) were $47 million and $87 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2013.  Such financings are generally collateralized by non-customer, RJ&A owned securities.  The required market value of the collateral associated with the committed secured facilities ranges from 102% to 133% of the amount financed.

At June 30, 2013, in addition to the financing arrangements described above, we had corporate debt of $1.2 billion. The balance is comprised of $350 million outstanding on our 6.90% senior notes due 2042, $249 million outstanding on our 5.625% senior notes due 2024, $300 million outstanding on our 8.60% senior notes due August 2019, $250 million outstanding on our 4.25% senior notes due April 2016 and $47 million outstanding on a mortgage loan for our home-office complex.

Our current senior long-term debt ratings are:
Rating Agency
Rating
 
Outlook
Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”)
BBB
 
Negative
Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”)
Baa2
 
Stable

The S&P rating and outlook reflected above are as presented in their December, 2012 report.

The Moody’s rating and outlook reflected above are as presented in their July, 2013 report.

We believe our current long-term debt ratings depend upon a number of factors including industry dynamics, operating and economic environment, operating results, operating margins, earnings trends and volatility, balance sheet composition, liquidity and liquidity management, our capital structure, our overall risk management, business diversification and our market share, the success of our integration of Morgan Keegan, and competitive position in the markets in which we operate. Deteriorations in any of these factors could impact our credit ratings.  Any rating downgrades could increase our costs in the event we were to pursue obtaining additional financing.

Should our credit rating be downgraded prior to a public debt offering it is probable that we would have to offer a higher rate of interest to bond holders.  A downgrade to below investment grade may make a public debt offering difficult to execute on terms we would consider to be favorable.  The New Regions Credit Agreement includes, as an event of default, the failure of RJF as a guarantor of the repayment of the loan, to maintain an investment grade rating on its unsecured senior debt.  Otherwise, none of our credit agreements contain a condition or event of default related to our credit ratings.  A downgrade below investment grade could also result in the termination of certain derivative contracts and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing overnight collateralization on our derivative instruments in liability positions (see Note 14 of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information). A credit downgrade could create a reputational issue and could also result in certain counterparties limiting their business with us, result in negative comments by analysts and potentially impact investor perception of us, and resultantly impact our stock price and/or our clients’ perception of us.

Other sources of liquidity

We own life insurance policies which are utilized to fund certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans and other employee benefit plans. The policies which we could readily borrow against have a cash surrender value of approximately $168 million as of June 30, 2013 and we are able to borrow up to 90%, or $151 million of the June 30, 2013 total, without restriction.  There are no borrowings outstanding against any of these policies as of June 30, 2013.


105


On May 24, 2012 we filed a “universal” shelf registration statement with the SEC to be in a position to access the capital markets if and when necessary or perceived by us to be opportune.

See the “contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies” section below for information regarding our commitments.

Potential impact of Morgan Keegan matters subject to indemnification by Regions on our liquidity

As more fully described in Note 3 on pages 118 - 121 of our 2012 Form 10-K, on January 11, 2012, RJF entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Morgan Keegan from Regions.  On April 2, 2012, we completed the purchase transaction. Under the terms of the SPA, in addition to customary indemnity for breaches of representations and warranties and covenants, the SPA also provides that Regions will indemnify RJF for losses incurred in connection with any litigation or similar matter related to pre-closing actions. As a result of these indemnifications, we do not anticipate the resolution of any pre-Closing Date Morgan Keegan litigation matters to negatively impact our liquidity (see Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and Part II Item 1 - Legal Proceedings, in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding the indemnifications and the nature of the pre-Closing Date matters).

We are incurring acquisition and integration costs associated with the Morgan Keegan acquisition. As of the Closing Date, we estimated we would incur approximately $110 million in total acquisition and integration related expenses, that would impact our fiscal years 2012 and 2013. We incurred approximately $60 million in fiscal year 2012, leaving approximately $50 million to be incurred in fiscal year 2013 based upon our initial estimates. We have incurred $52 million of expense in the nine months ended June 30, 2013, and we currently estimate that there will be at least an additional $5 million incurred over the remainder of fiscal year 2013.

Statement of financial condition analysis

The assets on our condensed consolidated statement of financial condition consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents (a large portion of which is segregated for the benefit of customers), receivables including bank loans, financial instruments held for either trading purposes or as investments, and other assets.  A significant portion of our assets are liquid in nature, providing us with flexibility in financing our business.  Total assets of $22.2 billion at June 30, 2013 are approximately $1.1 billion, or 5%, greater than our total assets as of September 30, 2012.  The increase in total assets primarily result from the following. Net bank loans receivable increased $698 million due to growth of RJ Bank’s net loan portfolio during the period. A $667 million increase in segregated assets pursuant to federal regulations which was prompted by an inflow of cash into client accounts during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 (refer to the related increase in payables to clients discussed in the following paragraph). Cash and cash equivalents increased $606 million, refer to the discussion of the various sources and uses of cash during the period in the preceding liquidity and capital resources section of this MD&A. Partially offsetting the increases in assets described above, compared to September 30, 2012 trading instruments decreased $429 million as we reduced our inventory levels in June 2013 in response to fixed income security market conditions. Derivative instruments associated with offsetting matched book positions decreased by $193 million (refer to the decrease in the offsetting liability related to these derivative instruments described in the discussion of the change in liabilities below).

As of June 30, 2013, our liabilities of $18.3 billion were $0.9 billion, or 5% greater than our liabilities as of September 30, 2012. The increase in liabilities is primarily due to the following. A $653 million increase in payables to clients, which resulted from an inflow of client cash over the period. Bank deposit liabilities increased $531 million, reflecting increased deposits by customers of RJ Bank, and trade and other payables increased $194 million. Partially offsetting the increases, derivative instruments associated with offsetting matched book positions decreased by $193 million. Trading instruments sold decreased $129 million as we reduced our inventory levels in June 2013 in response to fixed income security market conditions. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $100 million. An increase in our borrowings on our lines of credit of $94 million during the period was completely offset by a $134 million reduction in our corporate debt (refer to the discussion of the New Regions Credit Agreement in Notes 12 and 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q which comprises the majority of the decrease in corporate debt).

Contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies

On November 14, 2012, the outstanding balance of the initial Regions Credit Agreement was repaid, such agreement was terminated, and the New Regions Credit Agreement was executed. Refer to Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the New Regions Credit Agreement and Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for the maturations of our corporate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2013.


106


Other than the changes in the Regions Credit Agreement described above, as of June 30, 2013 there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations other than in the ordinary course of business since September 30, 2012. See Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, and the contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies section of Item 7, pages 67 - 68, of our 2012 Form 10-K, for additional information.


Regulatory

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Regulatory section on pages 68 - 69 of our 2012 Form 10-K.

RJ&A, MK & Co., RJFS, Eagle Fund Distributors, Inc. and Raymond James (USA) Ltd. all had net capital in excess of minimum requirements as of June 30, 2013.

RJ Ltd. was not in Early Warning Level 1 or Level 2 as of or during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

We currently invest in selected private equity and merchant banking investments (see the Proprietary Capital section of MD&A).  As a financial holding company, the magnitude of such investments will be subject to certain limitations.  At our current investment levels, we do not anticipate having to make any otherwise unplanned divestitures of these investments in order to comply with regulatory limits; however, the amount of future investments may be limited in order to maintain compliance within regulatory specified levels.

As a financial holding company, RJF is subject to the oversight and periodic examination of the Fed. RJF is subject to regulatory reporting requirements which include the maintenance of certain risk-based regulatory capital levels that could impact various capital allocation decisions impacting one or more of our businesses.  However, due to our strong capital position, we do not anticipate these capital requirements will have any negative impact on our future business activities.

RJ Bank is subject to various regulatory and capital requirements administered by bank regulators. See the Item 1 Business, Regulation section on pages 10 - 13 of our 2012 Form 10-K for a discussion of the regulatory environment in which RJ Bank operates. Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, RJ Bank met the requirements to be categorized as “well capitalized” as of June 30, 2013. One of RJ Bank’s U.S. subsidiaries is an agreement corporation and is subject to regulation by the Fed. As of June 30, 2013, this RJ Bank subsidiary met the capital adequacy guideline requirements.

The Dodd-Frank Act has the potential to impact certain of our current business operations, including, but not limited to, its impact on RJ Bank which is discussed in the Item 1 Business, Regulation section in our 2012 Form 10-K referred to above.  Because of the nature of our business and our business practices, we do not expect the Dodd-Frank Act to have a significant impact on our operations as a whole. However, because many of the implementing regulations will result from further studies by various regulatory agencies, the specific impact on each of our businesses is uncertain.

On July 2, 2013, the Fed approved a final rule to implement in the U.S., the Basel III regulatory capital reforms from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. We are currently evaluating the impact of this rule on both RJ Bank and RJF.

See Note 19 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information on regulatory and capital requirements.


Critical accounting estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For a full description of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 100 - 117 of our 2012 Form 10-K, as well as Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. We believe that of our significant accounting estimates, those described below involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Due to their nature, estimates involve judgment based upon available information. Actual results or amounts could differ from estimates and the difference could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, understanding these critical accounting estimates is important in understanding the reported results of our operations and our financial position.


107


Valuation of financial instruments, investments and other assets

The use of fair value to measure financial instruments, with related gains or losses recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, is fundamental to our financial statements and our risk management processes. See Note 2 pages 101 - 107 of our 2012 Form 10-K for a discussion of our fair value accounting policies regarding financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold but not yet purchased. Since September 30, 2012, we have not implemented any material changes in the accounting policies described therein during the period covered by this report.

“Trading instruments” and “available for sale securities” are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value or amounts that approximate fair value. Unrealized gains and losses related to these financial instruments are reflected in our net income or our other comprehensive income, depending on the underlying purpose of the instrument.

As of June 30, 2013, 8% of our total assets and 2% of our total liabilities are instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3 amount to $470 million as of June 30, 2013 and represent 26% of our assets measured at fair value. Our ARS positions comprise $242 million, or 51%, and our private equity investments comprise $218 million, or 46%, of the Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2013.  Level 3 assets represent 12% of total equity as of June 30, 2013.

Financial instruments which are liabilities categorized as Level 3 amount to $6 million as of June 30, 2013 and represent 1% of liabilities measured at fair value.

See Notes 5, 6, 7 and 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our financial instruments.

Goodwill

Goodwill involves the application of significant management judgment. For a discussion of our goodwill as of September 30, 2012, see the Goodwill section in Item 7 on page 74 of our 2012 Form 10-K.

We perform goodwill testing on an annual basis or when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.  We perform our annual goodwill impairment testing as of December 31 of each year. During the prior quarter ended March 31, 2013, we completed a quantitative assessment for each reporting unit that includes an allocation of goodwill as of December 31, 2012 to determine whether the carrying value of such reporting unit including the recorded goodwill is in excess of the fair value of the reporting unit. Although GAAP provides the option to perform a qualitative analysis which may result in a conclusion that no quantitative analysis of the reporting unit equity value is required, for this years annual goodwill testing we elected to perform a quantitative analysis. In our analysis, we make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates, as well as utilize data from peer group companies to assess the equity value of each reporting unit which carries goodwill.

Based upon the outcome of our quantitative assessments, we concluded that with the exception of our RJES reporting unit, there was no other impairment of goodwill and the fair values of the equity of the reporting units to be substantially in excess of their book carrying values, which include the allocated goodwill. Refer to Note 10 in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the valuation methodologies and a summary of the key assumptions we applied in determining the equity values of our reporting units which carry an allocation of goodwill.

We concluded that the goodwill associated with the RJES reporting unit, in the amount of $6.9 million (prior to consideration of noncontrolling interests), was completely impaired and accordingly we recorded impairment expense equal to such amount in the prior quarter ended March 31, 2013. Since we did not own 100% of RJES as of the December 31, 2012 impairment testing date, our share of this impairment expense after consideration of the noncontrolling interests amounts to $4.6 million. The impairment results from a decrease in the equity value of RJES, a joint venture based in Paris, France that we held a controlling interest in. RJES provides research coverage on European corporations as well as having sales and trading operations. The decline in value of RJES is primarily due to the continuing economic slowdown experienced in Europe which has had a negative impact on the financial services entities operating therein as well as certain management decisions that were made during the prior quarter ended March 31, 2013 which impact RJES’ operating plans on a going forward basis. In April 2013, we purchased all of the outstanding equity in RJES that was held by others, thereafter we have sole control over RJES.


108


In mid-February 2013, the client accounts of MK & Co. were transferred to RJ&A pursuant to our integration strategies. As a result, the reporting units which have an allocation of both Private Client Group as well as Capital Markets goodwill, were combined. We assessed whether these transfers, which occurred after our annual goodwill impairment testing date of December 31, 2012, could change our conclusions regarding no impairment of goodwill in the reporting units effected by the transfers. Based upon our qualitative analysis related to those reporting units, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the combined reporting units equity exceeds the combined reporting units’ carrying value including goodwill. No other events have occurred since December 31, 2012 that would cause us to update the annual impairment testing we performed as of that date.

Loss provisions

Refer to the discussion of loss provisions in Item 7 on pages 74 -75 of our 2012 Form 10-K.

RJ Bank provides an allowance for loan losses which reflects our continuing evaluation of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. See Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information.

At June 30, 2013, the amortized cost of all RJ Bank loans was $8.8 billion and an allowance for loan losses of $142 million was recorded against that balance. The total allowance for loan losses is equal to 1.61% of the amortized cost of the loan portfolio.

The uncertainty of the real estate and credit markets continues to influence the complexity involved in estimating the losses inherent in RJ Bank’s loan portfolio. If our underlying assumptions and judgments prove to be inaccurate, the allowance for loan losses could be insufficient to cover actual losses. In such an event, any losses would result in a decrease in our net income as well as a decrease in the level of regulatory capital at RJ Bank.

Income taxes

For a description of the significant assumptions, judgments and interpretations associated with the accounting for income taxes, see the income taxes section of Item 7 on page 76 of our 2012 Form 10-K.

Effects of recently issued accounting standards, and accounting standards not yet adopted

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance amending the existing pronouncement regarding the presentation of comprehensive income.  This new guidance reduces the alternatives for the presentation of the components of other comprehensive income.  Specifically, it eliminates the alternative of presenting them as part of the Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.  This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted.  In December 2011, the FASB indefinitely deferred the effective date for certain provisions within this new guidance, specifically, those provisions which require the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented.  We currently present the components of other comprehensive income within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and, therefore, the adoption of this new guidance does not impact us.

In December 2011, the FASB issued new guidance amending the existing pronouncement by requiring additional disclosures regarding the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments.  Specifically, this new guidance will require additional information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either; 1) offset or 2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are currently offset.  The additional disclosure is intended to provide greater transparency on the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments within the scope of this amendment.  In January 2013, the FASB issued further guidance on this topic, clarifying that the scope of this new guidance applies to derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This new guidance, inclusive of the January 2013 clarification, is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2013.  The adoption of this new guidance will result in an increase in certain financial statement disclosures, but will not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.


109


In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The new guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of AOCI on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This new guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2013.  The adoption of this new guidance will result in an increase in certain financial statement disclosures, but will not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB issued new guidance intended to clarify the applicable guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment when either an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or involving an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. The new guidance is intended to resolve the diversity in current practice in the accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income for sales or transfers of a controlling financial interest that is a foreign entity. This new guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2014, however early adoption is permitted as long as an entity that adopts the guidance early applies the new guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  To the extent that we have any future transactions with our foreign entities that fall within the scope of this clarifying guidance, we will evaluate the option of adopting this guidance early. Given that this guidance applies to entity specific transactions, we are unable to estimate the financial impact, if any, this clarifying guidance may have on our financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet arrangements

For information regarding our off-balance sheet arrangements, see Note 20 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, and Note 26 pages 179 - 180 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Form 10-K.

Effects of inflation

For information regarding the effects of inflation on our business, see the Effects of Inflation section of Item 7 on page 77 of our 2012 Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

RISK MANAGEMENT

For a description of our risk management policies, including a discussion of our primary market risk exposures, which include interest rate risk and equity price risk, as well as a discussion of our foreign exchange risk, credit risk including a discussion of our loan underwriting policies and risk monitoring processes applicable to RJ Bank, liquidity risk, operational risk, and regulatory and legal risk and a discussion of how these exposures are managed, refer to Item 7A pages 77 - 91 in our 2012 Form 10-K.
 
Market risk

Market risk is our risk of loss resulting from changes in interest rates and security prices. We have exposure to market risk primarily through our broker-dealer and banking operations. See pages 77 - 78 of our 2012 Form 10-K for discussion of how we manage our market risk.

See Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for information regarding the fair value of trading inventories associated with our broker-dealer client facilitation, market-making and proprietary trading activities in addition to RJ Bank’s securitizations. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for information regarding the fair value of available for sale securities.

Interest rate risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our trading inventories (primarily comprised of fixed income instruments) in our capital markets segment, as well as our RJ Bank operations. See pages 78 - 81 of our 2012 Form 10-K for discussion of how we manage our interest rate risk.


110


Trading activities

We monitor, on a daily basis, the Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) for all of our trading portfolios. VaR is an appropriate statistical technique for estimating potential losses in trading portfolios due to typical adverse market movements over a specified time horizon with a suitable confidence level.

To calculate VaR, we use historical simulation. This approach assumes that historical changes in market conditions are representative of future changes. The simulation is based upon daily market data for the previous twelve months. VaR is reported at a 99% confidence level based on a one-day time horizon. This means that we could expect to incur losses greater than those predicted by the VaR estimates only once in every 100 trading days, or about 2.5 times a year on average over the course of time.

We have chosen the historical period of twelve months to be representative of the current interest rate and equity markets.  We utilize stress testing to complement our VaR analysis so as to measure risk under historical and hypothetical adverse scenarios.  VaR results are indicative of relatively recent changes in general interest rates and equity markets and are not designed to capture historical stress periods beyond the twelve month historical period. Back testing procedures performed include comparing projected VaR results to our daily trading losses.  We then verify that the number of times that daily trading losses exceed VaR is consistent with our expectations at a 99% confidence level. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the reported daily loss in our trading portfolios exceeded the predicted VaR one time.

Should markets suddenly become more volatile, actual trading losses may exceed VaR results presented on a single day and might accumulate over a longer time horizon, such as a number of consecutive trading days. Accordingly, management applies additional controls including position limits, a daily review of trading results, review of the status of aged inventory, independent controls on pricing, monitoring of concentration risk, and review of issuer ratings, as well as stress testing. During volatile markets we may choose to pare our trading inventories to reduce risk.  

The following table sets forth the high, low, and daily average VaR for all of our trading portfolios, including fixed income, equity, and derivative instruments, as of the period and dates indicated: 
 
Nine months ended June 30, 2013

The modeling of the risk characteristics of trading positions involves a number of assumptions and approximations. While management believes that its assumptions and approximations are reasonable, there is no uniform industry methodology for estimating VaR, and different assumptions or approximations could produce materially different VaR estimates. As a result, VaR statistics are more reliable when used as indicators of risk levels and trends within a firm than as a basis for inferring differences in risk-taking across firms.

Banking operations

RJ Bank maintains an earning asset portfolio that is comprised of C&I, commercial and residential real estate, and consumer loans, as well as MBS, CMOs, SBA loan securitizations, deposits at other banks and other investments.  Those earning assets are funded by RJ Bank’s deposits.  Based on its current earning asset portfolio, RJ Bank is subject to interest rate risk.  The current economic environment has led to an extended period of low market interest rates.  As a result, the majority of RJ Bank’s adjustable rate assets and liabilities have experienced a reduction in interest rate yields and costs that reflect these very low market interest rates.  During the current period, RJ Bank has focused its interest rate risk analysis on the risk of market interest rates rising.  RJ Bank analyzes interest rate risk based on forecasted net interest income, which is the net amount of interest received and interest paid, and the economic value of equity, both in a range of interest rate scenarios.

One of the objectives of RJ Bank’s Asset Liability Management Committee is to manage the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The methods used to measure this sensitivity are described on pages 79 - 81 of our 2012 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to these methods during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

See the discussion within the “Risk Monitoring process” section of Item 3 in this Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding RJ Bank’s interest-only loan portfolio and related repricing schedule.


Equity price risk

We are exposed to equity price risk as a consequence of making markets in equity securities and the investment activities of RJ&A and RJ Ltd. RJ&A’s broker-dealer activities are primarily client-driven, with the objective of meeting clients’ needs while earning a trading profit to compensate for the risk associated with carrying inventory.  RJ Ltd. has a proprietary trading business; the average aggregate inventory held for proprietary trading by RJ Ltd. during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $8.5 million denominated in Canadian currency (“CDN”).  We attempt to reduce the risk of loss inherent in our inventory of equity securities by monitoring those security positions constantly throughout each day and establishing position limits.

Foreign exchange risk

We are subject to foreign exchange risk due to: financial instruments denominated in U.S. dollars predominantly held by RJ Ltd., whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, which may be impacted by fluctuation in foreign exchange rates; certain loans held by RJ Bank denominated in Canadian currency; and our investments in foreign subsidiaries.

In order to mitigate its portion of this risk, RJ Ltd. enters into forward foreign exchange contracts. The fair value of these contracts is nominal. As of June 30, 2013, RJ Ltd. held forward contracts to buy and sell U.S. dollars totaling CDN $32.8 million, and CDN $3.2 million, respectively. In addition, RJ Bank’s U.S. subsidiaries hedge the foreign exchange risk related to their net investment in a Canadian subsidiary utilizing short-term, forward foreign exchange contracts.  These derivative agreements are accounted for as net investment hedges in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  See Note 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding these derivative contracts.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in a borrower’s, issuer’s or counterparty’s ability to meet its financial obligations under contractual or agreed upon terms. The nature and amount of credit risk depends on the type of transaction, the structure and duration of that transaction, and the parties involved. Credit risk is an integral component of the profit assessment of lending and other financing activities. See further discussion of our credit risk on pages 82 - 90 in our 2012 Form 10-K.

RJ Bank has substantial corporate and residential mortgage loan portfolios.  A significant downturn in the overall economy, deterioration in real estate values or a significant issue within any sector or sectors where RJ Bank has a concentration could result in large provisions for loan losses and/or charge-offs.

113



Several factors were taken into consideration in evaluating the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2013, including the current risk profile of the portfolios, net charge-offs during the period, the level of nonperforming loans, and delinquency ratios. RJ Bank also considered concentrations of industry sectors and the extent of credit exposure to specific borrowers within the portfolio. RJ Bank further reviewed updated LTV ratios of the performing residential loan portfolio. Additionally, RJ Bank considered current economic conditions that might impact the portfolio. On an ongoing basis, RJ Bank evaluates its methods for determining the allowance for each class of loans and makes enhancements it considers appropriate. There was no material change in RJ Bank’s methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

The primary factors influencing the provision for loan losses during the period were a decrease in corporate criticized loans compared to the prior year, the favorable resolution of several corporate problem loans, lower LTV ratios in the residential mortgage loan portfolio, and a significant reduction in delinquent residential mortgage loans. These credit characteristics reflected the positive impact from improved economic conditions. The loan loss benefit during the current quarter includes $5.6 million of provision expense resulting from the impact of the annual Shared National Credit (“SNC”) review and examination. The prior period’s provision for loan losses included $4 million resulting from the impact of the respective period’s annual SNC examination. As a result of the provision credit and the charge-off of corporate loans for which loan loss provision was recorded in prior periods, the allowance for loan losses decreased to $142 million as of June 30, 2013 from $149 million as of June 30, 2012.

The level of charge-off activity is a factor that is considered in evaluating the potential for and severity of future credit losses. The 15% increase in net loan charge-offs for the current quarter as compared to prior year was primarily attributable to the movement of a couple corporate loans to nonaccrual during the quarter for which the related provision was recorded in prior periods. Net loan charge-offs for the current fiscal year has been trending lower for both the residential mortgage and corporate loan portfolios, which resulted in a 51% decrease in fiscal year net charge-offs compared to the prior year.

The level of nonperforming loans is another indicator of potential future credit losses. The amount of nonperforming loans increased slightly during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.  This increase was primarily due to a $21 million increase in nonperforming CRE loans, mostly offset by an $18 million decrease in nonperforming C&I loans and a $3 million decrease in nonperforming residential mortgage loans.  Included in nonperforming residential mortgage loans are $63 million in loans for which $37 million in charge-offs were previously recorded, resulting in less exposure within the remaining balance.

Loan underwriting policies

RJ Bank’s underwriting policies for the major types of loans are described on pages 86 - 87 of our 2012 Form 10-K. There was no material change in RJ Bank’s underwriting policies during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Risk monitoring process

The credit risk strategy component of ongoing risk monitoring and review processes at RJ Bank for all residential, consumer and corporate credit exposures are discussed on pages 87 - 90 of our 2012 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to those processes and policies during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Residential mortgage and consumer loans

We track and review many factors to monitor credit risk in RJ Bank’s residential and consumer loan portfolios. The qualitative factors include, but are not limited to: loan performance trends, loan product parameters and qualification requirements, borrower credit scores, occupancy (i.e., owner occupied, second home or investment property), level of documentation, loan purpose, geographic concentrations, average loan size, and loan policy exceptions. These qualitative measures, while considered and reviewed in establishing the allowance for loan losses, have generally not resulted in any quantitative adjustments to RJ Bank’s historical loss rates. In addition to historical loss rates, one other quantitative factor utilized for the performing residential mortgage loan portfolio is updated LTV ratios.

RJ Bank obtains the most recently available information (generally on a quarter lag) to estimate current LTV ratios on the individual loans in the performing residential mortgage loan portfolio. Current LTV ratios are estimated based on the initial appraisal obtained at the time of origination, adjusted using relevant market indices for housing price changes that have occurred since origination. The value of the homes could vary from actual market values due to change in the condition of the underlying property, variations in housing price changes within metropolitan statistical areas and other factors.


115


RJ Bank estimates the residential mortgage loans with updated LTVs between 100% and 120% represent 11% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio and residential mortgage loans with updated LTVs in excess of 120% represent 3% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio. The current average estimated LTV is approximately 70% for the total residential mortgage loan portfolio. Credit risk management utilizes this data in conjunction with delinquency statistics, loss experience and economic circumstances to establish appropriate allowance for loan losses for the residential mortgage loan portfolio, which is based upon an estimate for the probability of default and loss given default for each homogeneous class of loans.

Though declining, residential mortgage loan delinquency levels continue to be elevated by historical standards at RJ Bank due to general economic conditions and the relatively high level of unemployment. Consistent with prior periods, our consumer loan portfolio has not experienced high levels of delinquencies to date.  At June 30, 2013 there were no delinquent consumer loans.

At June 30, 2013, loans over 30 days delinquent (including nonperforming loans) decreased to 3.03% of residential mortgage loans outstanding, compared to 3.55% over 30 days delinquent at September 30, 2012.  Additionally, our June 30, 2013 percentage compares favorably to the national average for over 30 day delinquencies of 9.7% as most recently reported by the Fed.

Comprised of loans which are two or more payments past due as well as loans in process of foreclosure.

To manage and limit credit losses, we maintain a rigorous process to manage our loan delinquencies. See page 89 of our 2012 Form 10-K for a discussion of these processes. There have been no material changes to these processes during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Credit risk is also managed by diversifying the residential mortgage portfolio. The geographic concentrations (top five states) of RJ Bank’s one-to-four family residential mortgage loans are as follows:

Loans where borrowers may be subject to payment increases include adjustable rate mortgage loans with terms that initially require payment of interest only.  Payments may increase significantly when the interest-only period ends and the loan principal begins to amortize. At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, these loans totaled $375 million and $428 million, respectively, or approximately 22% and 30% of the residential mortgage portfolio, respectively.  At June 30, 2013, the balance of amortizing, former interest-only, loans totaled $357 million.  The weighted average number of years before the remainder of the loans, which were still in their interest-only period at June 30, 2013, begins amortizing is 3.2 years.  In the current interest rate environment, a large percentage of these loans were projected to adjust to a payment lower than the current payment. The outstanding balance of loans that were interest-only at origination and based on their contractual terms are scheduled to reprice are as follows:

Corporate loans

Credit risk in RJ Bank’s corporate loan portfolio is monitored on an individual loan basis, see page 90 of our 2012 Form 10-K for a discussion of our monitoring processes. There have been no material changes in these processes during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

At June 30, 2013, other than loans classified as nonperforming, there were two government-guaranteed loans totaling $213 thousand that were delinquent greater than 30 days.

Credit risk is also managed by diversifying the corporate loan portfolio. RJ Bank’s corporate loan portfolio does not contain a significant concentration in any single industry. The industry concentrations (top five categories) of RJ Bank’s corporate loans are as follows:

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following information supplements and amends the disclosure set forth under Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” on page 30 - 31 of our 2012 Form 10-K.

Pre-Closing Date Morgan Keegan matters (all of which are subject to indemnification by Regions)

Certain of the Morgan Keegan entities, along with Regions, have been named in class-action lawsuits filed in federal and state courts on behalf of shareholders of Regions and investors who purchased shares of certain mutual funds in the Regions Morgan Keegan Fund complex (the “Regions Funds”). The Regions Funds were formerly managed by Morgan Asset Management (“MAM”), an entity which was at one time a subsidiary of one of the Morgan Keegan affiliates, but an entity which was not part of our Morgan Keegan acquisition (see further information regarding the Morgan Keegan acquisition in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 118 - 121 of our 2012 Form 10-K). The complaints contain various allegations, including claims that the Regions Funds and the defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose material facts relating to the activities of the Funds. In August 2013, the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee approved the settlement of the class action and the derivative action regarding the closed end funds for $62 million and $6 million, respectively. No other class has been certified. Certain of the shareholders in the Funds and other interested parties have entered into arbitration proceedings and individual civil claims, in lieu of participating in the class action lawsuits.

In March 2009, MK & Co. received a Wells Notice from the SEC’s Atlanta Regional Office related to ARS indicating that the SEC staff intended to recommend that the SEC take civil action against the firm. On July 21, 2009, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the “Court”) against MK & Co. alleging violations of the federal securities laws in connection with ARS that MK & Co. underwrote, marketed and sold. On June 28, 2011, the Court granted MK & Co.’s Motion for Summary Judgment, dismissing the case brought by the SEC. On May 2, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit reversed the Court’s decision and remanded the case. A bench trial was held the week of November 26, 2012, and on February 15, 2013, the Court ruled that MK & Co. had been negligent in a few discreet instances and ordered it to repurchase ARS from the 17 clients. The court imposed a fine of $100,500 and dismissed all other claims. Beginning in February 2009, MK & Co. commenced a voluntary program to repurchase ARS that it underwrote and sold to MK & Co. customers, and extended that repurchase program on October 1, 2009, to include certain ARS that were sold by MK & Co. to its customers but were underwritten by other firms. On July 21, 2009, the Alabama Securities Commission issued a “Show Cause” order to MK & Co. arising out of the ARS matter that is the subject of the SEC complaint described above. The order requires MK & Co. to show cause why its registration as a broker-dealer should not be suspended or revoked in the State of Alabama and also why it should not be subject to disgorgement, repurchasing all ARS sold to Alabama residents and payment of costs and penalties.

The SEC and states of Missouri and Texas are investigating alleged securities law violations by MK & Co. in the underwriting and sale of certain municipal bonds. An enforcement action was brought by the Missouri Secretary of State on April 4, 2013, seeking monetary penalties and other relief. A civil action was brought by institutional investors of the bonds on March 19, 2012, seeking a return of their investment and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. A class action was brought on behalf of retail purchasers of the bonds on September 4, 2012, seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. These actions are in the early stages. These matters are subject to the indemnification agreement with Regions.

Indemnification from Regions

As more fully described in Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 118 - 121 of our 2012 Form 10-K, the stock purchase agreement provides that Regions will indemnify RJF for losses incurred in connection with any legal proceedings pending as of the closing date or commenced after the closing date related to pre-closing matters. All of the pre-Closing Date Morgan Keegan matters described above are subject to such indemnification provisions. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding Morgan Keegan’s pre-Closing Date legal matter contingencies.

Other matters unrelated to Morgan Keegan

We are a defendant or co-defendant in various lawsuits and arbitrations incidental to our securities business, matters which are unrelated to the pre-Closing Date activities of Morgan Keegan. We are contesting the allegations in these cases and believe that there are meritorious defenses in each of these lawsuits and arbitrations. In view of the number and diversity of claims against us, the number of jurisdictions in which litigation is pending and the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and other claims, we cannot state with certainty what the eventual outcome of pending litigation or other claims will be. In the opinion of management, based on current available information, review with outside legal counsel, and consideration of amounts provided for in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these matters, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or cumulative results of operations. However, resolution of one or more of these matters may have a material effect on the results of operations in any future period, depending upon the ultimate resolution of those matters and upon the level of income for such period.

See Note 16 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding legal matter contingencies.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

See Item 1A: Risk Factors, on pages 15 - 29 of our 2012 Form 10-K for a discussion of risk factors that impact our operations and financial results.  There have been no material changes in the risk factors as discussed therein.

We purchase our own stock in conjunction with a number of activities, each of which are described below.  We do not have a formal stock repurchase plan. As of June 30, 2013, there is $37.2 million remaining on the current authorization of our Board of Directors for open market share repurchases.

From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized specific dollar amounts for repurchases at the discretion of our Board’s Securities Repurchase Committee. The decision to repurchase securities is subject to cash availability and other factors. Historically we have considered such purchases when the price of our stock approaches 1.5 times book value.  We did not purchase any of our shares in open market transactions during the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Share purchases for the trust fund that was established and funded to acquire our common stock in the open market and used to settle restricted stock units granted as a retention vehicle for certain employees of our wholly owned Canadian subsidiary (see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 115 of our 2012 Form 10-K, and Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, for more information on this trust fund) amounted to 125,700 shares for a total of $4.7 million, for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.

We also repurchase shares when employees surrender shares as payment for option exercises or withholding taxes.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, there were 154,543 shares surrendered to us by employees for a total of $6 million as payment for option exercises or withholding taxes.

We expect to continue paying cash dividends. However, the payment and rate of dividends on our common stock is subject to several factors including operating results, our financial requirements, regulatory capital restrictions applicable to RJF, and the availability of funds from our subsidiaries, including the broker-dealer subsidiaries, which may be subject to restrictions under the net capital rules of the SEC, FINRA and the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (“IIROC”) as well as net capital covenants in their credit agreements, and RJ Bank, which may be subject to restrictions by federal banking agencies. Such restrictions have not previously limited our dividend payments. (See Note 19 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for more information on regulatory capital levels of RJF, RJ Bank and our significant broker-dealer subsidiaries.)
