NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2021

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF,” the “firm” or the “Company”) is a financial holding company which, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in various financial services activities, including providing investment management services to retail and institutional clients, the underwriting, distribution, trading and brokerage of equity and debt securities, and the sale of mutual funds and other investment products.  The firm also provides corporate and retail banking services, and trust services.  For further information about our business segments, see Note 23 of this Form 10-Q. As used herein, the terms “our,” “we,” 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 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2020 Form 10-K”) for the year ended September 30, 2020, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in Note 10 of this Form 10-Q. 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 is 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 our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the 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 of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our 2020 Form 10-K. To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

NOTE 2 – UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, there were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies other than the accounting policies adopted or modified as part of our implementation of new or amended accounting guidance, as noted in the following sections.

Accounting guidance adopted in fiscal 2021

Credit losses

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13), which replaces the incurred credit loss and other models with the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model. The guidance involves several aspects of the accounting for credit losses related to certain financial instruments, including assets measured at amortized cost, available-for-sale debt securities and certain off-balance sheet commitments. The new guidance, and subsequent updates, broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of in-scope financial assets. The measurement of expected credit losses includes historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts.

This new guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 and was adopted under a modified retrospective approach. The impact of adoption of this new standard resulted in an increase in our allowance for credit losses of $42 million (including $25 million related to loans to financial advisors, $9 million related to funded bank loans and $8 million related to unfunded lending commitments) and a corresponding reduction in the beginning balance of retained earnings of $35 million, net of tax. Prior-period amounts were calculated under the incurred loss model and have not been restated. See Notes 8 and 9 for further information related to bank loans and loans to financial advisors and the related allowances for credit losses.

The following sections highlight changes to our accounting policies as a result of this adoption.

Available-for-sale securities

Available-for-sale securities are generally held by Raymond James Bank and are classified at the date of purchase. They are comprised primarily of agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), which are guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. Available-for-sale securities owned by Raymond James Bank are used as part of its interest rate risk and liquidity management strategies and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks, or other factors. As a result of the adoption of the new CECL guidance, credit losses on available-for-sale securities are limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value and should be recognized through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct reduction in amortized cost basis. Given that our available-for-sale securities portfolio is comprised of government agency securities for which payments of both principal and interest are guaranteed, and based on the lack of historical credit losses, we expect zero credit losses on this portfolio and the related accrued interest receivable. On a quarterly basis, we reassess our expectation of zero credit losses to consider changes in the available-for-sale securities portfolio.

Other receivables, net

Other receivables primarily include receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, accrued interest receivables and accrued fees from product sponsors.  Receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations primarily consist of deposits placed with clearing organizations, which includes initial margin, and receivables related to sales of securities which have traded, but not yet settled including amounts receivable for securities failed to deliver. We present “Other receivables, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of any allowance for credit losses. However, these receivables generally have minimal credit risk due to the low probability of clearing organization default and the short-term nature of receivables related to securities settlements and therefore, the allowance for credit losses on such receivables is not significant. Any allowance for credit losses for other receivables is estimated using assumptions based on historical experience, current facts and other factors. We update these estimates through periodic evaluations against actual trends experienced.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

As permitted under the CECL guidance, we include accrued interest receivables related to our financial assets in “Other receivables, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition instead of with the related financial instrument. We reverse any uncollectible accrued interest into interest income generally when the related financial asset is moved to nonaccrual status. As we write off uncollectible amounts in a timely manner, we do not recognize an allowance for credit losses against accrued interest receivable.

Loans to financial advisors, net

We offer loans to financial advisors for recruiting and retention purposes. The decision to extend credit to a financial advisor or other key revenue producer is generally based on their ability to generate future revenues. Loans offered are generally repaid over a five to 10 year period, with interest recognized as earned, and are contingent upon affiliation with us. These loans are not assignable by the financial advisor and may only be assigned by us to a successor in interest. There is no fee income associated with these loans. In the event that the financial advisor is no longer affiliated with us, any unpaid balance of such loan becomes immediately due and payable to us. Based upon the nature of these financing receivables, affiliation status is the primary credit risk factor within this portfolio.

We present the outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of the allowance for credit losses. Refer to the allowance for credit losses section that follows for further information related to our allowance for credit losses on our loans to financial advisors. See Note 9 for additional information on our loans to financial advisors.

Loans to financial advisors are considered past due once they are 30 days or more delinquent as to the payment of contractual interest or principal. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when we determine that full payment of contractual principal and interest is in doubt, or the loan is past due 180 days or more as to contractual interest or principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is written-off against interest income. Interest is recognized on a cash basis until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to an accrual status when the loans have been brought contractually current with the original terms and have been maintained on a current basis for a reasonable period, generally six months.

When we determine that it is likely a loan will not be collected in full, the loan is evaluated for a potential write down of the carrying value. After consideration of the borrower’s ability to restructure the loan, sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to repay the debt, the portion of the loan deemed a confirmed loss, if any, is charged-off. A charge-off is taken against the allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost and the amount we estimate will ultimately be collected. Additional charge-offs are taken if there is an adverse change in the expected cash flows.

Allowance for credit losses

We evaluate our held for investment bank loans, unfunded lending commitments, loans to financial advisors and certain other financial assets to estimate an allowance for credit losses over the remaining life of the financial instrument. The remaining life of our financial assets is determined by considering contractual terms and expected prepayments, among other factors.

We employ multiple methodologies in estimating an allowance for credit losses and our approaches differ by type of financial asset and the risk characteristics within each financial asset type. Our estimates are based on ongoing evaluations of the portfolio, the related credit risk characteristics, and the overall economic and environmental conditions affecting the financial assets. For certain of our financial assets with collateral maintenance provisions (e.g., collateralized agreements, margin loans and securities-based loans), we apply the practical expedient allowed under the CECL model in estimating an allowance for credit losses. We reasonably expect that borrowers (or counterparties, as applicable) will replenish the collateral as required. As a result, we estimate zero credit losses to the extent that the fair value equals or exceeds the related carrying value of the financial asset. When the fair value of the collateral securing the financial asset is less than the carrying value, qualitative factors such as historical experience (adjusted for current risk characteristics and economic conditions) as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts are considered in estimating the allowance for credit losses on the unsecured portion of the financial asset.

Credit losses are charged-off against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of the financial asset is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance once received. A credit loss expense, or benefit, is recorded in earnings in an amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses to our estimate as of the end of each reporting period. Our provision or benefit for credit losses for outstanding bank loans is included in “Bank loan provision/(benefit) for credit losses” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and our provision or benefit for credit losses for all other financing receivables and unfunded lending commitments is included in “Other” expense.

Loans

We generally estimate the allowance for credit losses on our loan portfolios using credit risk models which incorporate relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. After testing the reasonableness of a variety of economic forecast scenarios, we select a single forecast scenario for use in our models. Our forecasts incorporate assumptions related to macroeconomic indicators including, but not limited to, U.S. gross domestic product, equity market indices, unemployment rates, and commercial real estate and residential home price indices. At the conclusion of our reasonable and supportable forecast period, which currently ranges from two to three years depending on the model and macroeconomic variables, we use a straight-line reversion approach over a one-year period to revert to historical loss information for commercial and industrial (“C&I”), real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and tax-exempt loans. For commercial real estate (“CRE”) and residential mortgage loans, we incorporate a reasonable and supportable forecast of various macroeconomic variables over the remaining life of the assets. The development of the forecast used for CRE and residential mortgage loans incorporates an assumption that each macroeconomic variable will revert to a long-term expectation starting in years two to three of the forecast and largely completing within the first five years of the forecast. We assess the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast period and the reversion period, our reversion approach, our economic forecasts and our methodology for estimating the historical loss information on a quarterly basis.

The allowance for credit losses on loans is generally evaluated and measured on a collective basis, typically by loan portfolio segment, due to similar risk characteristics. When a loan does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, the loan is evaluated for credit losses on an individual basis. Various risk characteristics are considered when determining whether the loan should be collectively evaluated including, but not limited to, financial asset type, internal risk ratings, collateral type, industry of the borrower, and historical or expected credit loss patterns.

The allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans is comprised of two components: (a) a quantitative allowance; and (b) a qualitative allowance, which is based on an analysis of model limitations and other factors not considered by the quantitative models. There are several factors considered in estimating the quantitative allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans which generally include, but are not limited to, the internal risk rating, historical loss experience (including adjustments due to current risk characteristics and economic conditions), prepayments, borrower-controlled extensions, and expected recoveries. We use third-party data for historical information on collectively evaluated corporate loans (C&I, CRE and REIT loans) and residential mortgage loans.

The qualitative portion of our allowance for credit losses includes certain factors that are not incorporated into the quantitative estimate and would generally require adjustments to the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are intended to address developing trends related to each portfolio segment and would generally include, but are not limited to: changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection; our loan review process; volume and severity of delinquent loans; changes in the nature, volume and terms of loans; credit concentrations; changes in the value of underlying collateral; changes in legal and regulatory environments; and local, regional, national and international economic conditions.

Held for investment bank loans

The allowance for credit losses for the C&I, CRE (primarily loans that are secured by income-producing properties and commercial real estate construction loans), REIT (loans made to businesses that own or finance income-producing real estate), tax-exempt and residential mortgage portfolio segments is estimated using credit risk models that project a probability of default (“PD”), which is then multiplied by the loss given default (“LGD”) and the estimated exposure at default (“EAD”) at the loan-level for every period remaining in the loan’s expected life, including the maturity period. Historical data, combined with macroeconomic variables, are used in estimating the PD, LGD and EAD. Our credit risk models consider several factors when estimating the expected credit losses which may include, but are not limited to, financial performance and position, estimated prepayments, geographic location, industry or sector type, debt type, loan size, capital structure, initial risk levels and the economic outlook. Additional factors considered by the residential mortgage model include Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores and loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

We generally use one of two methods to measure the allowance for credit losses on individually evaluated loans. A discounted cash flow approach is used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on certain nonaccrual corporate loans and all troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) that are not collateral-dependent. For collateral-dependent loans and for instances where foreclosure is probable, we use an approach that considers the fair value of the collateral less selling costs when measuring the allowance for credit losses. A loan is collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral.

See Note 8 for further information about our bank loans, including credit quality indicators considered in developing the allowance for credit losses.

Unfunded lending commitments

We estimate credit losses on unfunded lending commitments using a methodology consistent with that used in the corresponding bank loan portfolio segment and also based on the expected funding probabilities for fully binding commitments. As a result, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded lending commitments will vary depending upon the mix of lending commitments and future funding expectations. All classes of individually evaluated unfunded lending commitments are analyzed in conjunction with the specific allowance process previously described.

The allowance for credit losses related to unfunded lending commitments is included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Loans to financial advisors

The allowance for credit losses on loans to financial advisors is estimated using credit risk models that incorporate average annual loan-level loss rates and estimated prepayments based on historical data. The qualitative component of our estimate considers internal and external factors that are not incorporated into the quantitative estimate such as the reasonable and supportable forecast period. In estimating an allowance for credit losses on our individually-evaluated loans to financial advisors, we generally take into account the affiliation status of the financial advisor (i.e., whether the advisor is actively affiliated with us or has terminated affiliation with us), the borrower’s ability to restructure the loan, sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to repay the debt.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions announced and completed during the nine months ended June 30, 2021

NWPS

In December 2020, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of NWPS Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively “NWPS”), doing business as NWPS and Northwest Plan Services. As an independent provider of retirement plan administration, consulting, actuarial and administration services, the addition of NWPS expands our retirement services offerings, which now include retirement plan administration services, to advisors and clients. For purposes of certain acquisition-related financial reporting requirements, the NWPS acquisition was not considered a material acquisition. NWPS has been integrated into our Private Client Group (“PCG”) segment and its results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of December 24, 2020.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the NWPS acquisition resulted in the addition of $139 million of goodwill and $96 million of identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill associated with this acquisition primarily represents synergies from combining NWPS with our existing businesses. The identifiable intangible assets primarily relate to client relationships and have a weighted-average useful life of 24.8 years.

Financo

In March 2021, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding ownership interests of Financo, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Financo”), an investment bank focused on the consumer sector. The addition of Financo expands our investment banking capabilities in the consumer and retail space, both domestically and internationally. For purposes of certain acquisition-related financial reporting requirements, the Financo acquisition was not considered a material acquisition. Financo has been integrated into our Capital Markets segment and its results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of March 30, 2021.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Financo acquisition resulted in the addition of $30 million of goodwill and $9 million of identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill associated with this acquisition primarily represents synergies from combining Financo with our existing businesses and is generally deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The identifiable intangible assets primarily relate to client relationships and have a weighted-average useful life of 9 months.

See Notes 2 and 10 of our 2020 Form 10-K and Note 11 of this Form 10-Q for additional information about our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, including the related accounting policies.

Acquisition announcements

Cebile

On May 25, 2021, we announced we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Cebile Capital (“Cebile”), a leading private fund placement agent and secondary market advisor to private equity firms. The addition of Cebile deepens our investment banking relationships with the private equity community and expands our related service offerings. For purposes of certain acquisition-related financial reporting requirements, the Cebile acquisition will not be considered a material acquisition. Cebile will operate within our Capital Markets segment upon closing of the acquisition, which we expect to occur during our fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 once all regulatory and other closing conditions are satisfactorily resolved.

Charles Stanley

On July 29, 2021, we announced our firm intention to make an offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of United Kingdom (“U.K.”)-based Charles Stanley Group PLC (“Charles Stanley”) at a price of £5.15 per share, or approximately £279 million. The combination would provide us the opportunity to accelerate growth in the U.K.; and, through Charles Stanley’s multiple affiliation options, give us the ability to offer wealth management affiliation choices consistent with our model in Canada and the U.S. For purposes of certain acquisition-related financial reporting requirements, the Charles Stanley acquisition will not be considered a material acquisition. The transaction, subject to U.K. Financial Conduct Authority and Charles Stanley shareholder approval, is expected to close in our fiscal first quarter of 2022. Charles Stanley will operate within our PCG segment upon completion of the acquisition.

Acquisition-related expenses

Certain acquisition and integration costs associated with these acquisitions were included in “Acquisition-related expenses” during fiscal 2021 on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Such costs primarily included legal and other professional fees and, with respect to Financo, amortization expense related to intangible assets with short useful lives.

Level 3 recurring fair value measurements

The following tables present the changes in fair value for Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The realized and unrealized gains and losses in the tables may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. In the following tables, gains/(losses) on trading instruments are reported in “Principal transactions” and gains/(losses) on other investments are reported in “Other” revenues.

The net unrealized gains included in earnings on our Level 3 private equity investments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 primarily reflected the impact of continued improvement in market conditions and an improved outlook for certain of our investments. Of these gains, $9 million and $18 million were attributable to noncontrolling interests, which are reflected as an offset in “Other” expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The net unrealized losses on our Level 3 private equity investments for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily driven by the then anticipated negative impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on certain of our investments. Of these losses, $20 million were attributable to noncontrolling interests, which are reflected as an offset in “Other” expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

As of June 30, 2021, 22% of our assets and 1% of our liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  In comparison, as of September 30, 2020, 19% of our assets and 2% of our liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The increase in assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as a percentage of total assets was primarily due to a significant increase in assets segregated pursuant to regulations at fair value during fiscal 2021, driven by a significant increase in client cash balances. As of both June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, Level 3 assets represented less than 1% of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements

The following table presents the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of certain of our private equity investments classified as level 3. These inputs represent those that a market participant would take into account when pricing these instruments. Weighted averages are calculated by weighting each input by the relative fair value of the related financial instrument. Certain investments are valued initially at transaction price and updated as other investment-specific events take place which indicate that a change in the carrying values of these investments is appropriate. Other investment-specific events include such events as our periodic review, significant transactions occur or new developments become known.

Recurring measurements $ in millions	Fair value at June 30, 2021		Valuation technique(s)	Unobservable input	Range (weighted-average)
Other investments - private equity investments (not measured at NAV)	$	66	Discounted cash flow, transaction price or other investment-specific events	Discount rate	25%
				Terminal year	2034 - 2034 (2034)
	Fair value at September 30, 2020
Other investments - private equity investments (not measured at NAV)	$	37	Discounted cash flow, transaction price or other investment-specific events	Discount rate	25%
				Terminal earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiple	9.0x
				Terminal year	2021 - 2042 (2023)

Qualitative information about unobservable inputs

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of private equity investments generally 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. Increases in the discount rate would have resulted in a lower fair value measurement. Increases in the terminal EBITDA multiple would have resulted in a higher fair value measurement. Increases in the terminal year are dependent upon each investment’s strategy, but generally result in a lower fair value measurement.

Investments in private equity measured at net asset value per share

As more fully described in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K, as a practical expedient, we utilize NAV or its equivalent to determine the recorded value of a portion of our private equity investments portfolio. We utilize NAV when the fund investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and the NAV of the fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of investment company accounting, including measurement of the investments at fair value.

Our private equity portfolio as of June 30, 2021 includes various direct investments, as well as investments in third-party private equity funds and various legacy private equity funds which we sponsor. The portfolio is primarily invested in a broad range of strategies including leveraged buyouts, growth capital, distressed capital, venture capital and mezzanine capital. Due to the closed-end nature of certain of our fund investments, such investments cannot be redeemed directly with the funds. Our investment is monetized by distributions received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of those funds, the timing of which is uncertain.

Private equity investments measured at NAV	$	79	$	9
Private equity investments not measured at NAV	37
Total private equity investments	$	116

Of the total private equity investments, the portions we owned were $115 million and $90 million as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The portions of the private equity investments we did not own were $44 million and $26 million as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and were included as a component of noncontrolling interests on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

As a financial holding company, we are subject to holding period limitations for our merchant banking activities. As a result, we will be required to exit certain of our private equity investments by February 2022. Additionally, many of our private equity fund investments meet the definition of prohibited covered funds as defined by the Volcker Rule enacted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”). We have received approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“the Fed”) to continue to hold the majority of our covered fund investments until July 2022.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis along with the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the assets classified as level 3. These inputs represent those that a market participant would take into account when pricing these instruments. Weighted averages are calculated by weighting each input by the relative fair value of the related financial instrument.

Financial instruments not recorded at fair value

Many, but not all, of the financial instruments we hold were recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The following table presents the estimated fair value and fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities that are not recorded at fair value in accordance with GAAP on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. This table excludes financial instruments that are carried at amounts which approximate fair value. Refer to Note 3 of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of the fair value hierarchy classifications of our financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value.

NOTE 5 – AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

Available-for-sale securities are primarily comprised of agency MBS and agency CMOs owned by Raymond James Bank. As of October 1, 2020, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, including available-for-sale securities. Refer to Note 2 for further information about this guidance and a discussion of our available-for-sale securities.

The following table details the amortized costs and fair values of our available-for-sale securities.

The following table details the contractual maturities, amortized costs, carrying values and current yields for our available-for-sale securities.  Since our MBS and CMO available-for-sale securities are backed by mortgages, actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties. As a result, as of June 30, 2021, the weighted-average life of our available-for-sale securities portfolio was approximately 4 years.

The contractual cash flows of our available-for-sale securities are guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. At June 30, 2021, of the 208 available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, 205 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and three securities were in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. We do not consider unrealized losses associated with these securities to be credit losses due to the guarantee of the full payment of principal and interest, and the fact that we have the ability and intent to hold these securities. In addition, unrealized losses related to these available-for-sale securities are generally due to changes in market interest rates. At June 30, 2021, based on our assessment of this portfolio, we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on our available-for-sale securities. At June 30, 2021, debt securities we held in excess of ten percent of our equity included those issued by the Federal National Home Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) with amortized costs of $4.84 billion and $2.79 billion, respectively, which also approximated the fair values of the securities.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, we received proceeds of $450 million and $969 million, respectively, from the sales of agency MBS and agency CMO available-for-sale securities. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, we received proceeds of $222 million from sales of available-for-sale securities. These sales resulted in insignificant

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

Our derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value and are included in “Derivative assets” and “Derivative liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Cash flows related to our derivatives are included within operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The significant accounting policies governing our derivatives, including our methodologies for determining fair value, are described in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

There were no components of derivative gains or losses excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for each of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. We expect to reclassify $16 million of interest expense out of AOCI and into earnings within the next 12 months. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are or will be hedged is 6 years.

Risks associated with our derivatives and related risk mitigation

Credit risk

We are exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to derivatives that are not cleared through a clearing organization. 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.  We may require initial margin or collateral from counterparties in the form of cash 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.

Our only exposure to credit risk on matched book derivatives is related to our uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues, which were insignificant as of both June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. We are not exposed to market risk on these derivatives due to the pass-through transaction structure described in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Interest rate and foreign exchange risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to certain of our interest rate derivatives. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk related to our forward foreign exchange derivatives.  On a daily basis, we monitor our risk exposure on our derivatives 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, both for the total portfolio and by maturity period.

NOTE 7 – COLLATERALIZED AGREEMENTS AND FINANCINGS

Collateralized agreements are comprised of securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse repurchase agreements”) and securities borrowed. Collateralized financings are comprised of securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) and securities loaned. We enter into these transactions in order to facilitate client activities, acquire securities to cover short positions and finance certain firm activities. The significant accounting policies governing our collateralized agreements and financings are described in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Our reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and securities lending transactions are governed by master agreements that are widely used by counterparties and that may allow for net settlements of payments in the normal course, as well as offsetting of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event of bankruptcy or default of one of the parties to the transaction. For financial statement purposes, we do not offset our reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and securities loaned because the conditions for netting as specified by GAAP are not met. Although not offset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, these transactions are included in the following table.

	Collateralized agreements						Collateralized financings

The total amount of collateral received under reverse repurchase agreements and the total amount of collateral posted under repurchase agreements exceeds the carrying value of these agreements on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Collateral received and pledged

We receive cash and securities as collateral, primarily in connection with reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowed, derivative transactions and client margin loans. The collateral we receive reduces our credit exposure to individual counterparties.

In many cases, we are permitted to deliver or repledge financial instruments we have received as collateral to satisfy our collateral requirements under our repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements or other secured borrowings, to satisfy deposit requirements with clearing organizations, or to otherwise meet either our or our clients’ settlement requirements.

NOTE 8 – BANK LOANS, NET

Bank client receivables are comprised of loans originated or purchased by Raymond James Bank and include C&I loans, REIT loans, tax-exempt loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, and SBL and other loans. These receivables are collateralized by first and, to a lesser extent, second mortgages on residential or other real property, other assets of the borrower, a pledge of revenue, securities or are unsecured. See Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of accounting policies related to bank loans.

As of October 1, 2020, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. See Note 2 for further information about this guidance and a discussion of our accounting policies related to our allowance for credit losses. We segregate our loan portfolio into six loan portfolio segments: C&I, CRE, REIT, tax-exempt, residential mortgage, and SBL and other. Upon adoption, we redefined certain of our portfolio segments to align with the new methodology applied in determining the allowance for credit losses. Prior-period loan portfolio segment balances have been revised to conform to the current presentation. Loan balances in the following tables are presented at amortized cost (outstanding principal balance net of unearned income and deferred expenses, which include purchase premiums, purchase discounts and net deferred origination fees and costs), except for certain held for sale loans recorded at fair value. Bank loans are presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at amortized cost (or fair value where applicable) less the allowance for credit losses.

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 Raymond James Bank’s total loan portfolio.

	June 30, 2021				September 30, 2020

Allowance for credit losses	(322)				(354)
Bank loans, net	$	23,896			$	21,195
Accrued interest receivable on bank loans	$	47			$	45

The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2021 was determined using the new CECL methodology, which was adopted on October 1, 2020. Prior periods have not been restated and were calculated under the incurred loss methodology.

Accrued interest receivables presented in the preceding table are reported in “Other receivables, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

At June 30, 2021, the FHLB had a blanket lien on Raymond James Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio as security for the repayment of certain borrowings. See Note 14 of our 2020 Form 10-K for more information regarding borrowings from the FHLB.

Held for sale loans

Raymond James Bank originated or purchased $385 million and $1.50 billion of loans held for sale during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $185 million and $1.33 billion during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of these held for sale loans amounted to $230 million and $625 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $130 million and $564 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Net gains resulting from such sales were insignificant in all periods during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Collateral-dependent loans

A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the underlying collateral. At June 30, 2021, we had $27 million of collateral-dependent CRE loans, which were fully collateralized by retail and industrial real estate, and $8 million of collateral-dependent residential loans, which were fully collateralized by single family homes. Collateral-dependent loans do not include loans to borrowers who have been granted forbearance as result of the COVID-19 pandemic or loans for which the borrower had requested a loan modification, where the request had been initiated but had not been approved or completed as of the end of the quarter. Such loans may be considered collateral-dependent after the forbearance period expires. The recorded investment in mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process was $4 million and $6 million at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Credit quality indicators

The credit quality of our bank loan portfolio is summarized monthly by management using internal risk ratings, which align with the standard asset classification system utilized by bank regulators.  These classifications are divided into three groups: Not Classified (Pass), Special Mention, and Classified or Adverse Rating (Substandard, Doubtful and Loss). These terms 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 us 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 we 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 our books as an asset, without establishment of a specific valuation allowance or charge-off, is not warranted.  We do not have any loan balances within this classification because, in accordance with our accounting policy, loans, or a portion thereof considered to be uncollectible are charged-off prior to the assignment of this classification.

We also monitor the credit quality of the residential mortgage loan portfolio utilizing FICO scores and LTV ratios. A FICO score measures a borrower’s creditworthiness by considering factors such as payment and credit history. LTV measures the carrying value of the loan as a percentage of the value of the property securing the loan.

The following table presents the held for investment residential mortgage loan portfolio by FICO score and by LTV ratio at origination.

The allowance for credit losses on held for investment bank loans decreased $23 million to $322 million during three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an improved forecast for macroeconomic inputs, including unemployment and gross domestic product, and improved credit ratings within the corporate loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses decreased $41 million to $322 million since the adoption of CECL on October 1, 2020, largely attributable to improved forecasts for certain macroeconomic inputs to our CECL model since our adoption date, including improved outlooks on unemployment and gross domestic product, which favorably impact most of our loan portfolios, as well as improved credit ratings within our corporate loan portfolio.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments, which is included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, was $15 million, $17 million and $12 million at June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to an improved outlook for commercial real estate compared with March 31, 2021. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments as of June 30, 2021 compared with September 30, 2020 was predominantly due to the adoption impact of CECL.

See Note 2 for further information about the adoption of CECL and the impact to the allowance for credit losses.

NOTE 9 – LOANS TO FINANCIAL ADVISORS, NET

Loans to financial advisors are primarily comprised of loans originated as a part of our recruiting activities. See Note 2 for a discussion of our accounting policies related to loans to financial advisors and the related allowance for credit losses. The following table presents the balances for our loans to financial advisors and the related accrued interest receivable.

$ in millions	June 30, 2021		September 30, 2020

Accrued interest receivable on loans to financial advisors	$	4	$	4

(1) These loans were predominately current.

(2) These loans were predominately past due for a period of 180 days or more and on nonaccrual status.

The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2021 was determined using the CECL methodology, which we adopted on October 1, 2020. Prior periods calculated under the incurred loss methodology have not been restated. The increase in the allowance from September 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the October 1, 2020 CECL adoption, which resulted in an increase in our allowance for credit losses of $25 million. See Note 2 for further information on the CECL adoption.

Accrued interest receivables presented in the preceding table are reported in “Other receivables, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

NOTE 10 – 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. Refer to Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of our principal involvement with VIEs and the accounting policies regarding determination of whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of VIEs.

VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary

Of the VIEs in which we hold an interest, we have determined that certain limited partnerships which are part of our private equity portfolio (“Private Equity Interests”), certain Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) funds and the trust we utilize in connection with restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards granted to certain employees of one of our Canadian subsidiaries (the “Restricted Stock Trust Fund”) require consolidation in our financial statements, as we are deemed the primary beneficiary of such VIEs.  The aggregate assets and liabilities of the VIEs we consolidate are provided in the following table. Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities may differ from the consolidated carrying value of assets and liabilities due to the elimination of intercompany assets and liabilities held by the consolidated VIE.

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

As discussed in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K, we have concluded that for certain VIEs we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore do not consolidate these VIEs. Such VIEs include certain Private Equity Interests, certain LIHTC funds, and other limited partnerships. Our risk of loss for these VIEs is limited to our investments in, advances to, and/or receivables due from these VIEs.

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 as to which we have concluded we are not the primary beneficiary, are provided in the following table.

NOTE 11 - GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

Our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets result from various acquisitions. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we acquired NWPS and Financo, both of which resulted in goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. See Note 3 for additional information on these acquisitions and the related goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. See Notes 2 and 10 of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information about our goodwill and intangible assets, including the related accounting policies.

We perform goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment 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 or indicate that the asset is impaired.  We performed our latest annual impairment testing for our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset as of January 1, 2021, our annual evaluation date, evaluating balances as of December 31, 2020. In this annual evaluation, we performed a qualitative impairment assessment for each of our reporting units that had goodwill, as well as for our indefinite-lived intangible asset.

Our qualitative assessments consider macroeconomic indicators, such as trends in equity and fixed income markets, gross domestic product, unemployment rates, interest rates, and housing markets. We also consider regulatory changes, reporting unit specific results, and changes in key personnel and strategy. Changes in these indicators, and our ability to respond to such changes, may trigger the need for impairment testing at a point other than our annual assessment date. Based upon the outcome of these qualitative assessments, no impairment was identified. No events have occurred since such assessments that would cause us to update this impairment testing.

NOTE 12 – LEASES

The following table presents the balances related to our leases on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate for our leases was 5.8 years and 3.70%, respectively, as of June 30, 2021.

In March 2020, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.65% senior notes due April 2030. Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of these senior notes at any time prior to January 1, 2030, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to a designated U.S. Treasury rate, plus 50 basis points; and on or after January 1, 2030, at 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

In July 2016, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior notes due July 2046. In May 2017, we reopened the offering and sold, in a registered underwritten public offering, an additional $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior notes due July 2046. These additional senior notes were consolidated, formed into a single series, and are fully fungible with the $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior notes issued in July 2016. Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of these senior notes at any time prior to their maturity, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to a designated U.S. Treasury rate, plus 45 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

In April 2021, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior notes due April 2051. Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of these senior notes at any time prior to October 1, 2050, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to a designated U.S. Treasury rate, plus 20 basis points; and on or after October 1, 2050, at 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

Tender offers and redemptions of certain senior notes

Concurrently with the launch of our offering of $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior notes due April 2051 described above, we commenced cash tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) for any and all of our then outstanding 5.625% senior notes due 2024 and 3.625% senior notes due 2026 (the “Pre-existing Notes”). Pursuant to the Tender Offers, in April 2021 we repurchased an aggregate of $332 million outstanding Pre-existing Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $373 million.

In addition, in April 2021 we issued notices of redemption to holders of the Pre-existing Notes pursuant to the indentures governing such notes, to redeem any Pre-existing Notes that remained outstanding following the closing of the Tender Offers. In May 2021 we redeemed the remaining outstanding balance of the Pre-existing Notes of $418 million for an aggregate redemption price of $473 million.

These repurchases and redemptions of the Pre-existing Notes were funded with the net proceeds from our 3.75% senior notes due April 2051 and cash on hand, and resulted in a loss of $98 million which is comprised of make-whole premiums, unamortized debt issuance costs which were accelerated, and certain legal and professional fees. This loss was presented in

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for interim periods is comprised of tax on ordinary income provided at the most recent estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the tax effect of discrete items.  We estimate the annual effective tax rate quarterly based on the forecasted pre-tax results of our U.S. and non-U.S. operations. Items unrelated to current year ordinary income are recognized entirely in the period identified as a discrete item of tax.  These discrete items generally relate to changes in tax laws, adjustments to the actual liability determined upon filing tax returns, excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation and adjustments to previously recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions. For discussion of income tax accounting policies and other income tax related information, see Notes 2 and 16 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Effective tax rate

Our effective income tax rate was 20.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, which was lower than the 22.2% effective tax rate for fiscal 2020. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to an increase in valuation gains associated with our company-owned life insurance policies which are not subject to tax.

Uncertain tax positions

Although management cannot predict with any degree of certainty the timing of ultimate resolution of matters under review by various taxing jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that our uncertain tax position liability balance may decrease within the next 12 months by up to $4 million as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations and the completion of tax authorities’ examinations.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

Commitments and contingencies

Underwriting commitments

In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments for debt and equity underwritings. As of June 30, 2021, we had three such open underwriting commitments, which were subsequently settled in open market transactions and did not result in significant losses.

Lending commitments and other credit-related financial instruments

Raymond James 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 underwriting assessments and each customer’s credit worthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Fixed-rate commitments are subject to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and our exposure is limited to the replacement value of those commitments.

The following table presents Raymond James Bank’s commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments outstanding.

$ in millions	June 30, 2021		September 30, 2020
Open-end consumer lines of credit (primarily SBL)	$	15,866	$	12,148
Commercial lines of credit	$	1,813	$	1,482
Unfunded lending commitments	$	502	$	532
Standby letters of credit	$	24	$	33

Open-end consumer lines of credit primarily represent the unfunded amounts of bank loans to consumers that are secured by marketable securities at advance rates consistent with industry standards. The proceeds from repayment or, if necessary, the liquidation of collateral, which is monitored daily, are expected to satisfy the amounts drawn against these existing lines of

credit. These lines of credit are primarily uncommitted, as we reserve the right to not make any advances or may terminate these lines at any time.

Because many of Raymond James Bank’s lending commitments expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contractual amounts are not estimates of our actual future credit exposure or future liquidity requirements. The allowance for credit losses calculated under CECL provides for potential losses related to the unfunded lending commitments. See Notes 2 and 8 for further discussion of this allowance for credit losses related to unfunded lending commitments.

RJ&A enters into margin lending arrangements which allow customers to borrow against the value of qualifying securities. Margin loans are collateralized by the securities held in the customer’s account at RJ&A. Collateral levels and established credit terms are monitored daily and we require customers to deposit additional collateral or reduce balances as necessary.

We offer loans to prospective financial advisors for recruiting and retention purposes (see Notes 2 and 9 for further discussion of our loans to financial advisors). These offers are contingent upon certain events occurring, including the individuals joining us and meeting certain conditions outlined in their offer.

Investment commitments

We had unfunded commitments to various investments, including private equity investments and certain Raymond James Bank investments, of $37 million as of June 30, 2021.

Other commitments

Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc. (“RJTCF”) sells investments in project partnerships to various LIHTC funds, which have third-party investors, and for which RJTCF serves as the managing member or general partner. RJTCF typically sells investments in project partnerships to LIHTC funds within 90 days of their acquisition. Until such investments are sold to LIHTC funds, RJTCF is responsible for funding investment commitments to such partnerships. As of June 30, 2021, RJTCF had committed approximately $167 million to project partnerships that had not yet been sold to LIHTC funds. Because we expect to sell these project partnerships to LIHTC funds and the equity funding events arise over future periods, the contractual commitments are not expected to materially impact our future liquidity requirements. RJTCF may also make short-term loans or advances to project partnerships and LIHTC funds.

As a part of our fixed income public finance operations, we enter into forward commitments to purchase agency MBS. See Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K for further discussion of these activities.  At June 30, 2021, we had $222 million of principal amount of outstanding forward MBS purchase commitments, which were expected to be purchased within 90 days following commitment.  In order to hedge the market interest rate risk to which we would otherwise be exposed between the date of the commitment and the date of sale of the MBS, we enter into TBA security contracts with investors for generic MBS at specific rates and prices to be delivered on settlement dates in the future. We may be subject to loss if the timing of, or the actual amount of, the MBS differs significantly from the term and notional amount of the TBA security contract to which we entered.  These TBA securities and related purchase commitments are accounted for at fair value. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the TBA securities and the estimated fair value of the purchase commitments were insignificant.

For information regarding our lease commitments, including the maturities of our lease liabilities, see Note 12.

Guarantees

Our U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries are required by federal law to be members of the Securities Investors Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). The SIPC fund provides protection up to $500 thousand per client for securities and cash held in client accounts, including a limitation of $250 thousand on claims for cash balances. We have purchased excess SIPC coverage through various syndicates of Lloyd’s of London. For RJ&A, our clearing broker-dealer, the additional protection currently provided has an aggregate firm limit of $750 million for cash and securities, including a sub-limit of $1.9 million per client for cash above basic SIPC. Account protection applies when a SIPC member fails financially and is unable to meet its obligations to clients. This coverage does not protect against market fluctuations. RJF has provided an indemnity to Lloyd’s of London against any and all losses they may incur associated with the excess SIPC policies.

We guarantee the debt of one of our private equity investments. The amount of such debt, including the undrawn portion of a revolving credit facility, was $13 million as of June 30, 2021. The debt, which matures in 2022, is secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrower.

Legal and regulatory matter contingencies

In the normal course of our business, we have been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, arising in connection with our activities as a diversified financial services institution.

RJF and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to regular reviews and inspections by regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations. Reviews can result in the imposition of sanctions for regulatory violations, ranging from non-monetary censures to fines and, in serious cases, temporary or permanent suspension from conducting business, or limitations on certain business activities. In addition, regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations institute investigations from time to time, among other things, into industry practices, which can also result in the imposition of such sanctions.

We may contest liability and/or the amount of damages, as appropriate, in each pending matter. Over the last several years, the level of litigation and investigatory activity (both formal and informal) by government and self-regulatory agencies in the financial services industry continues to be significant. There can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that have not yet been asserted or are not yet determined to be material.

For many legal and regulatory matters, we are unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss as we cannot predict if, how or when such proceedings or investigations will be resolved or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, may be. A large number of factors may contribute to this inherent unpredictability: the proceeding is in its early stages; the damages sought are unspecified, unsupported or uncertain; it is unclear whether a case brought as a class action will be allowed to proceed on that basis; the other party is seeking relief other than or in addition to compensatory damages (including, in the case of regulatory and governmental proceedings, potential fines and penalties); the matters present significant legal uncertainties; we have not engaged in settlement discussions; discovery is not complete; there are significant facts in dispute; and numerous parties are named as defendants (including where it is uncertain how liability might be shared among defendants). Subject to the foregoing, after consultation with counsel, we believe that the outcome of such litigation and regulatory proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, the outcome of such litigation and regulatory proceedings could be material to our operating results and cash flows for a particular future period, depending on, among other things, our revenues or income for such period.

There are certain matters for which we are unable to estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible loss. With respect to legal and regulatory matters for which management has been able to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss as of June 30, 2021, we estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible aggregate loss to be approximately $175 million in excess of the aggregate accruals for such matters.  Refer to Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of our criteria for recognizing liabilities for contingencies.

NOTE 20 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We have one share-based compensation plan for our employees, Board of Directors and independent contractor financial advisors. Generally, we reissue our treasury shares under The Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan; however, we are also permitted to issue new shares. Annual share-based compensation awards are primarily issued during our fiscal first quarter of each year.  Our share-based compensation accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K.  Other information related to our share-based awards is presented in Note 21 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, we granted approximately 50 thousand and 1.5 million RSUs, respectively, to employees and outside members of our Board of Directors with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $131.81 and $94.75, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, total compensation expense for RSUs granted to our employees and members of our Board of Directors was $27 million and $98 million, respectively, compared with $22 million and $89 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, there were $209 million of total pre-tax compensation costs not yet recognized (net of estimated forfeitures) related to RSUs granted to employees and members of our Board of Directors, including those granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

NOTE 21 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

RJF, as a bank holding company and financial holding company, Raymond James Bank, our banking subsidiary, Raymond James Trust, N.A. (“RJ Trust”), and our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to capital requirements by various regulatory authorities. Capital levels of each entity are monitored to ensure compliance with our various regulatory capital requirements.  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 financial results.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

As a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”) that has made an election to be a financial holding company (“FHC”), RJF is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Fed. We are subject to the Fed’s capital rules which establish an integrated regulatory capital framework and 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 apply the standardized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets and are also subject to the market risk provisions of the Fed’s capital rules (“market risk rule”).

Under these rules, minimum requirements are established for both the quantity and quality of capital held by banking organizations. RJF and Raymond James Bank are required to maintain minimum ratios of common equity tier 1 (“CET1”), tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, as well as minimum leverage ratios (defined as tier 1 capital divided by adjusted average assets). These capital ratios incorporate quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under the regulatory capital rules and are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. RJF and Raymond James Bank each calculate these ratios in order to assess compliance with both regulatory requirements and their internal capital policies. In order to maintain our ability to take certain capital actions, including dividends and common equity repurchases, and to make bonus payments, we must hold a capital conservation buffer above our minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of June 30, 2021, both RJF’s and Raymond James Bank’s capital levels exceeded the capital conservation buffer requirement and were each categorized as “well-capitalized.”

For further discussion of regulatory capital requirements applicable to certain of our businesses and subsidiaries, see Note 22 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

To meet requirements for capital adequacy purposes or to be categorized as “well-capitalized,” RJF must maintain minimum CET1, Tier 1 capital, Total capital and Tier 1 leverage amounts and ratios as set forth in the following table.

	Actual				Requirement for capital adequacy purposes				To be well-capitalized under regulatory provisions
$ in millions	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
RJF as of June 30, 2021:
CET1	$	7,040	24.4	%	$	1,297	4.5	%	$	1,874	6.5	%
Tier 1 capital	$	7,040	24.4	%	$	1,730	6.0	%	$	2,306	8.0	%

Tier 1 leverage	$	7,040	12.6	%	$	2,240	4.0	%	$	2,800	5.0	%
RJF as of September 30, 2020:
CET1	$	6,490	24.2	%	$	1,208	4.5	%	$	1,744	6.5	%
Tier 1 capital	$	6,490	24.2	%	$	1,610	6.0	%	$	2,147	8.0	%
Total capital	$	6,804	25.4	%	$	2,147	8.0	%	$	2,684	10.0	%
Tier 1 leverage	$	6,490	14.2	%	$	1,824	4.0	%	$	2,280	5.0	%

As of June 30, 2021, RJF’s regulatory capital increase was driven by positive earnings, partially offset by dividends and share repurchases, as well as an increase in goodwill and identifiable intangible assets arising from the NWPS and Financo acquisitions. See Note 3 for additional information. RJF’s Tier 1 and Total capital ratios increased compared to September 30, 2020, resulting from the increase in regulatory capital, partially offset by an increase in risk-weighted assets. The increase in risk-weighted assets was driven by increases in our loan portfolio and available-for-sale securities. RJF’s Tier 1 leverage ratio at June 30, 2021 decreased compared to September 30, 2020 due to increased average assets, driven by higher assets segregated pursuant to regulations due to an increase in client cash in the Client Interest Program (“CIP”), as well as growth in loans and available-for-sale securities. The impact of higher average assets was partially offset by the increase in regulatory capital.

Tier 1 leverage	$	2,279	7.7	%	$	1,183	4.0	%	$	1,479	5.0	%

As of June 30, 2021, Raymond James Bank’s regulatory capital increase was driven by positive earnings. Raymond James Bank’s Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios at June 30, 2021 increased compared to September 30, 2020, due to the increase in regulatory capital, partially offset by the impact of higher risk-weighted assets, primarily resulting from increases in our loan portfolio and available-for-sale securities. Raymond James Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio at June 30, 2021 decreased compared to September 30, 2020, due to increased average assets, driven by the growth in loans and available-for-sale securities, which was partially offset by the impact of the increase in regulatory capital.

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. The following table presents the net capital position of RJ&A.

FACTORS AFFECTING “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS”

Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information concerning future strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated savings, financial results (including expenses, earnings, liquidity, cash flow and capital expenditures), anticipated timing and benefits of our acquisitions and our level of success in integrating acquired businesses, industry or market conditions, demand for and pricing of our products, anticipated results of litigation, regulatory developments, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, effects of accounting pronouncements, and general economic conditions.  In addition, words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” and “would,” as well as any other statement that necessarily depends on future events, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Although we make such statements based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.  We caution investors not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements and urge you to carefully consider the risks described in our filings with the SEC from time to time, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at www.raymondjames.com and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement in the event it later turns out to be inaccurate, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

INTRODUCTION

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“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 condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. Where “NM” is used in various percentage change computations, the computed percentage change has been determined to be not meaningful.

We operate as a financial holding company and bank holding company. Results in the businesses in which we operate are highly correlated to general economic conditions and, more specifically, to the direction of the U.S. equity and fixed income markets, changes in interest rates, market volatility, corporate and mortgage lending markets and commercial and residential credit trends.  Overall market conditions, 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, including investors, borrowers, and competitors, impacting their level of participation in the financial markets. These factors also impact the level of investment banking activity and asset valuations, which ultimately affect our business results.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $2.47 billion increased $637 million, or 35%, and pre-tax income of $385 million increased $187 million, or 94%, compared with the prior-year quarter, which was negatively impacted by uncertainty resulting from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net income of $307 million increased $135 million, or 78%, and our earnings per diluted share were $2.18, reflecting a 77% increase. Our annualized return on equity (“ROE”) for the quarter was 15.9%, compared with 10.0% in the prior-year quarter, and annualized return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) was 17.7% (1), compared with 10.9% (1) for the prior-year quarter.

During the quarter, we completed a $750 million, 30-year senior notes offering at 3.75%, utilizing the proceeds from the offering and cash on hand to early-redeem our $250 million of 5.625% senior notes due 2024 and our $500 million of 3.625% senior notes due 2026. We recognized losses on the extinguishment of such notes of $98 million. Excluding these losses and acquisition-related expenses of $7 million, our adjusted net income was $386 million (1) and our adjusted earnings per diluted share were $2.74 (1). Adjusted annualized ROE for the quarter was 19.9% (1) and adjusted annualized ROTCE was 22.2% (1). Client assets under administration increased to $1.17 trillion as of June 30, 2021, a 33% increase over June 30, 2020.

(1)    ROTCE, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted annualized ROE and adjusted annualized ROTCE are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the “Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures” in this MD&A for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and for other important disclosures.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The $637 million, or 35%, increase in net revenues compared with the prior-year quarter was primarily driven by significantly higher asset management and related administrative fees, largely attributable to higher PCG assets in fee-based accounts, and strong investment banking revenues, also significantly higher than the prior-year quarter. Brokerage revenues were also strong and increased compared with the prior-year quarter. Revenues in the current-year quarter included $24 million of private equity valuation gains, of which $10 million were attributable to noncontrolling interests and were offset in other expenses, compared with insignificant gains in the prior-year quarter.

Compensation, commissions and benefits expense increased $384 million, or 30%, primarily resulting from the growth in revenues and pre-tax income compared with the prior-year quarter. Our compensation ratio, or the ratio of compensation, commissions and benefits expense to net revenues, decreased to 67.2%, compared with 69.6% for the prior-year quarter, primarily due to a change in the composition of net revenues compared with the prior-year quarter. Our current quarter compensation ratio reflected the impact of strong net revenues in the Capital Markets segment, which had a 57% compensation ratio for the quarter, and from the private equity valuation gains, which do not have direct compensation associated with them.

Non-compensation expenses increased $66 million, or 18%, primarily due to the losses on extinguishment of debt of $98 million described above, the aforementioned private equity valuation gains attributable to noncontrolling interests in the current quarter that were offset within other expenses, acquisition-related expenses, and increased investment sub-advisory fees. Business development expenses also increased from the very low prior-year quarter level, primarily due to higher recruiting-related expenses and an increase in travel, meal and event-related expenses. These increases were offset by a $100 million decrease in the bank loan provision for credit losses, which was a benefit of $19 million in the current-year quarter computed under the CECL methodology compared with a provision of $81 million in the prior-year quarter computed under the incurred loss methodology.

Our effective income tax rate was 20.3% for our fiscal third quarter of 2021, an increase compared with a 13.1% effective income tax rate for the prior-year quarter. Our tax rate in the prior-year quarter was unusually low due to a significant change in the projected impact of our corporate-owned life insurance portfolio on our effective tax rate during that quarter, from a large non-deductible loss projected at March 31, 2020, to a relatively small non-taxable gain projected as of June 30, 2020 resulting from a significant rebound in equity markets during our fiscal third quarter of 2020. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 21% in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021.

The firm ended our fiscal third quarter of 2021 with capital ratios well in excess of regulatory requirements and substantial liquidity, with approximately $1.6 billion (1) of cash at the parent company. Pursuant to our Board of Directors’ share repurchase authorization, we repurchased 375,000 shares of common stock during our fiscal third quarter for $48 million at an average price of $128.55 per share, leaving $632 million of availability remaining under the authorization as of June 30, 2021. We expect to continue to be opportunistic in deploying our capital in future quarters, through a combination of organic growth, additional share repurchases and acquisitions, as evidenced by the NWPS and Financo acquisitions, which were announced and completed during fiscal 2021, and the announced acquisitions of Charles Stanley and Cebile.

Our results for our fiscal third quarter of 2021 were strong and we remain well-positioned entering our fiscal fourth quarter, with strong capital ratios, over $1 trillion of client assets under administration, a 9% increase in PCG fee-based assets from March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021, and a strong investment banking backlog. However, we expect to continue to face headwinds from near-zero short-term interest rates and continued economic uncertainty resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to evolve as recently experienced with the rapid spread of the Delta variant. As a result, we may experience volatility of brokerage revenues and investment banking revenues, which may negatively impact our ability to sustain the level of revenues in future periods which were achieved in the current quarter. Although our results during the quarter were positively impacted by a benefit for credit losses related to our bank loan portfolio, net loan growth and/or future market deterioration could result in increased provisions in future quarters. In addition, we expect that expenses may continue to increase over the next several quarters as business and event-related travel increase and as we continue to make investments in our technology and growth.

A summary of our financial results by segment as compared to the prior-year quarter is as follows:

•PCG segment net revenues of $1.70 billion increased 36% and pre-tax income of $195 million increased 114%.  The $447 million increase in net revenues was primarily attributable to a significant increase in asset management fees due to higher assets in fee-based accounts at the beginning of the current-year quarter, and higher brokerage and account and service fee revenues. Non-interest expenses increased $343 million, or 30%, primarily resulting from an increase in compensation expenses largely due to the growth in net revenues.

The $123 million increase in net revenues was due to a significant increase in investment banking revenues from both mergers & acquisition activity and equity underwriting activity compared with the prior-year quarter, which was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Non-interest expenses increased $70 million, or 27%, primarily due to higher compensation expenses resulting from the increase in revenues.

•Asset Management segment net revenues of $225 million increased 38% and pre-tax income of $105 million increased 75%. The $62 million increase in net revenues was primarily driven by higher financial assets under management. Non-interest expenses increased $17 million, or 17%, primarily due to higher investment sub-advisory fees.

•Raymond James Bank net revenues of $169 million decreased 5%, while pre-tax income of $104 million increased 643%. The $9 million decrease in net revenues primarily reflected the negative impact of lower short-term interest rates and a shift in the composition of interest-earning assets, which more than offset the growth in interest-earning assets. Non-interest expenses decreased $99 million, or 60%, primarily due to the $100 million decrease in the bank loan provision for credit losses.

•The Other segment reflected a pre-tax loss that was $105 million larger than the loss in the prior-year quarter, due to the aforementioned losses on extinguishment of debt of $98 million and acquisition-related expenses of $4 million, partially offset by the impact of the private equity gains in the current-year quarter.

Nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $7.07 billion increased $1.15 billion, or 20%, and pre-tax income of $1.23 billion increased $435 million, or 55%. Net income of $974 million increased $365 million, or 60% and our earnings per diluted share were $6.92, also reflecting a 60% increase. Our annualized ROE for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 was 17.4%, compared with 11.9% for the prior-year period, and annualized ROTCE was 19.3% (1), compared with 13.1% (1) for the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of losses on extinguishment of debt and acquisition-related expenses, adjusted net income was $1.06 billion and adjusted earnings per diluted share were $7.50 (1). Adjusted annualized ROE was 18.7% (1) and adjusted annualized ROTCE was 20.8% (1).

The $1.15 billion increase in net revenues compared with the prior-year period was primarily driven by higher asset management and related administrative fees, largely attributable to higher PCG assets in fee-based accounts, as well as strong investment banking and brokerage revenues, which also increased compared with the prior-year period. Revenues in the current year also included private equity gains of $56 million ($20 million attributable to noncontrolling interests), compared with $40 million of losses in the prior-year period ($23 million attributable to noncontrolling interests). Offsetting these increases was the negative impact of lower short-term interest rates on our net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks.

Compensation, commissions and benefits expense increased $759 million, or 19%, primarily resulting from the growth in revenues and pre-tax income compared with the prior-year period. Our compensation ratio was 68.1%, compared with 68.5% for the prior-year period.

Non-compensation expenses decreased $40 million, or 4%, primarily due to a $225 million decrease in the bank loan provision for credit losses, which was a benefit of $37 million in the current year computed under the CECL methodology compared with a provision of $188 million in the prior-year period computed under the incurred loss methodology. Business development expenses also declined, due to lower travel and event-related expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in recruiting-related expenses. Offsetting these decreases was the aforementioned losses on extinguishment of debt of $98 million in the current-year period and an increase in other expenses, primarily due to the change in private equity valuations attributable to noncontrolling interests compared with the prior-year period.

Our effective income tax rate was 20.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease from 23.5% for the prior-year period, primarily due to the impact of larger non-taxable gains on our corporate-owned life insurance portfolio in the current-year period.

Pursuant to the Board of Directors’ repurchase authorization, we repurchased 982,750 shares of common stock during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 for approximately $118 million at an average price of approximately $120 per share.

(1)    ROTCE, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted annualized ROE and adjusted annualized ROTCE are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the “Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures” in this MD&A for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and for other important disclosures.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

A summary of our financial results by segment as compared to the prior-year period is as follows:

•PCG segment net revenues of $4.81 billion increased 16% and pre-tax income of $527 million increased 27%. The $652 million increase in net revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in asset management fees largely due to higher assets in fee-based accounts at the beginning of each quarterly billing period within the current-year period, and higher brokerage revenues, partially offset by decreases in RJBDP fees from third-party banks and net interest income due to lower short-term interest rates. Non-interest expenses increased $539 million, or 14%, primarily resulting from an increase in compensation expenses largely due to the growth in revenues.

•Capital Markets net revenues of $1.33 billion increased 51% and pre-tax income of $349 million increased 193%. The $450 million increase in net revenues was primarily due to a significant increase in investment banking revenues from both mergers & acquisition activity and underwriting activity, as well as growth in fixed income brokerage revenues. Non-interest expenses increased $220 million, or 29%, due to higher compensation expenses primarily attributable to the increase in revenues, partially offset by a decrease in business development expenses.

•Asset Management segment net revenues of $629 million increased 18% and pre-tax income of $275 million increased 33%. The $98 million increase in net revenues was primarily driven by higher financial assets under management. Non-interest expenses increased $29 million, or 9%, primarily due to higher investment sub-advisory fees.

•Raymond James Bank segment net revenues of $496 million decreased 18%, while pre-tax income of $286 million increased 75%. The $108 million decrease in net revenues reflected the negative impact of lower short-term interest rates, which more than offset the growth in interest-earning assets. Non-interest expenses decreased $231 million, or 52%, primarily due to a $225 million decrease in the bank loan provision for credit losses.

•The Other segment reflected a pre-tax loss that was $100 million greater than the loss in the prior-year period, primarily due to the losses on extinguishment of debt of $98 million and acquisition-related expenses of $6 million in the current-year period. These negative impacts were partially offset by the aforementioned private equity gains compared with losses in the prior-year period.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures as additional measures to aid in, and enhance, the understanding of our financial results and related measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted ROE, ROTCE, and adjusted ROTCE. We believe certain of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors by excluding certain material items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. We utilize these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the financial performance of the business, as they facilitate a meaningful comparison of current- and prior-period results. We believe that ROTCE is meaningful to investors as this measure facilitates comparison of our results to the results of other companies. In the following tables, the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments reflects the statutory rate associated with each non-GAAP item. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The following tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated.

Average equity for the quarterly periods is computed by adding the total equity attributable to RJF as of the date indicated to the prior quarter-end total, and dividing by two, or in the case of average tangible common equity, computed by adding tangible common equity as of the date indicated to the prior quarter-end total, and dividing by two. Tangible common equity is computed by subtracting goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, net, along with the associated deferred tax liabilities, from total equity attributable to RJF. Average equity for the year-to-date periods is computed by adding the total equity attributable to RJF as of each quarter-end date during the indicated year-to-date period to the beginning of the year total, and dividing by four, or in the case of average tangible common equity, computed by adding tangible common equity as of each quarter-end date during the indicated year-to-date period to the beginning of the year total, and dividing by four. Adjusted average equity is computed by adjusting for the impact on average equity of the non-GAAP adjustments, as applicable for each respective period. Adjusted average tangible common equity is computed by adjusting for the impact on average tangible common equity of the non-GAAP adjustments, as applicable for each respective period.

ROE is computed by dividing annualized net income for the period indicated by average equity for each respective period or, in the case of ROTCE, computed by dividing annualized net income by average tangible common equity for each respective period.

SEGMENTS

We currently operate through five segments. Our business segments are PCG, Capital Markets, Asset Management and Raymond James Bank. Our Other segment includes our private equity investments, interest income on certain corporate cash balances, certain acquisition-related expenses, and certain corporate overhead costs of RJF, including the interest costs on our public debt and any losses on extinguishment of such debt.

NET INTEREST ANALYSIS

The following table presents the high, low and end of period target federal funds rates for the periods presented.

In response to macroeconomic concerns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve decreased its benchmark short-term interest rate in March 2020 to a range of 0-0.25%, a reduction of 150 basis points. These decreases, in addition to other interest rate cuts implemented during calendar 2019 (225 basis points in total), have negatively impacted our net interest income, as well as the fees we earn from third-party banks on client cash balances swept to such banks as part of the RJBDP which are also sensitive to changes in interest rates. The negative impact of the decline in short-term interest rates has outweighed the growth in interest-earning assets and RJBDP balances swept to third-party banks compared with the prior-year periods. We expect the current near-zero interest rate environment to continue for the remainder of fiscal 2021 and into fiscal 2022.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Given the relationship between our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities (primarily held in our PCG, Raymond James Bank and Other segments) and the nature of fees we earn from third-party banks on the RJBDP, decreases in short-term interest rates generally result in an overall decrease in our net earnings, although the magnitude of the impact to the net interest margin depends on the yields on interest-earning assets relative to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, including deposit rates paid to clients on their cash balances. Conversely, any increases in short-term interest rates and/or decreases in the deposit rates paid to clients generally have a positive impact on our earnings.

Refer to the discussion of the specific components of our net interest income within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Results of Operations” for our PCG, Raymond James Bank, and Other segments. Also refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Results of Operations - Private Client Group - Clients’ domestic cash sweep balances” for further information on the RJBDP.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The yield on tax-exempt loans in the preceding table is presented on a taxable-equivalent basis utilizing the applicable federal statutory rates for each of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on our 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 period’s volume. Changes attributable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

Similarly, the effect of rate changes is calculated by multiplying the change in average yield/cost by the previous period’s volume. Changes attributable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

(1)A portion of our “Assets in fee-based accounts” is invested in “managed programs” overseen by our Asset Management segment, specifically our Asset Management Services division of RJ&A (“AMS”). These assets are included in our Financial assets under management as disclosed in the “Selected key metrics” section of our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Results of Operations - Asset Management.”

Fee-based accounts within our PCG segment are comprised of a wide array of products and programs that we offer our clients. The majority of assets in fee-based accounts within our PCG segment are invested in programs for which our financial advisors provide investment advisory services, either on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. Administrative services for such accounts (e.g., record-keeping) are generally performed by our Asset Management segment and, as a result, a portion of the related revenues is shared with the Asset Management segment.

We also offer our clients fee-based accounts that are invested in “managed programs” overseen by AMS, which is part of our Asset Management segment. Fee-billable assets invested in managed programs are included in both “Assets in fee-based accounts” in the preceding table and “Financial assets under management” in the Asset Management segment. Revenues related to managed programs are shared by our PCG and Asset Management segments. The Asset Management segment receives a higher portion of the revenues related to accounts invested in managed programs, as compared to the portion received for non-managed programs, as it is performing portfolio management services in addition to administrative services.

The vast majority of the revenues we earn from fee-based accounts are recorded in “Asset management and related administrative fees” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Fees received from such accounts are based on the value of client assets in fee-based accounts and vary based on the specific account types in which the client invests and the level of assets in the client relationship. As fees for substantially all of such accounts are billed based on balances as of the beginning of the quarter, revenues from fee-based accounts may not be immediately affected by changes in asset values, but rather the impacts are seen in the following quarter.

PCG assets under administration increased during the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to equity market appreciation, as well as net inflows of client assets. In addition, PCG assets in fee-based accounts continued to increase as a percentage of overall PCG assets under administration due to clients’ increased preference for fee-based alternatives versus transaction-based accounts. As a result of the shift to fee-based accounts over the past several years, a larger portion of our PCG revenues are more directly impacted by market movements.

Financial advisors

	June 30, 2021	March 31, 2021	September 30, 2020	June 30, 2020
Employees	3,423	3,375	3,404	3,379
Independent contractors	4,990	4,952	4,835	4,776
Total advisors	8,413	8,327	8,239	8,155

The number of financial advisors increased compared with the prior quarter and September 30, 2020 due to strong recruiting of financial advisors and new trainees that were moved into production roles, partially offset by the impact of advisors who left the firm, including planned retirements, where assets are generally retained at the firm. The growth in the number of financial advisors has been impacted by the transfer of advisors who were previously affiliated with the firm as independent contractors or employees to our RIA & Custody Services (“RCS”) division. Advisors in RCS are not included in the financial advisor count, although their assets are still included in client assets under administration. The recruiting pipeline remains strong across our affiliation options despite an increasingly competitive recruiting environment.

Average yield on RJBDP - third-party banks	0.29	%	0.33	%	0.30	%	0.97	%

A significant portion of our clients’ cash is included in the RJBDP, a multi-bank sweep program in which clients’ cash deposits in their accounts are swept into interest-bearing deposit accounts at Raymond James Bank and various third-party banks. We earn servicing fees for the administrative services we provide related to our clients’ deposits that are swept to such banks as part of the RJBDP. The amounts from third-party banks are variable in nature and fluctuate based on client cash balances in the program, as well as the level of short-term interest rates and the interest paid to clients by the third-party banks on balances in the RJBDP. The “Average yield on RJBDP - third party banks” in the preceding table is computed by dividing annualized RJBDP fees from third-party banks, which are net of the interest expense paid to clients by the third-party banks, by the average daily RJBDP balance at third-party banks. The PCG segment also earns RJBDP servicing fees from the Raymond James Bank segment, which are based on the number of accounts that are swept to Raymond James Bank. The fees from the Raymond James Bank segment are eliminated in consolidation. PCG segment results are impacted by changes in the allocation of client cash balances in RJBDP between Raymond James Bank and third-party banks. PCG segment results are also impacted by changes in the allocation of cash balances between RJBDP and CIP, as the net yield to the firm on cash balances in CIP (i.e., the spread between amounts earned on assets segregated for regulatory purposes and the interest paid to clients on CIP balances) is lower than the yield to the firm on RJBDP balances, on average.

Client cash balances remained elevated as of June 30, 2021 compared to prior year balances as a result of a number of factors, including the continuing economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as uncertainty related to the nature and timing of policy changes that may be put forth by the new federal government administration. The average yield on RJBDP - third-party banks decreased compared with the prior-year periods due to a decline in short-term interest rates. We expect the average yield on RJBDP balances at third-party banks to remain approximately 0.29% for the remainder of our 2021 fiscal year; however, this projected yield could decline in fiscal 2022 if demand for deposits from third-party banks does not improve from current levels.

Quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $1.70 billion increased $447 million, or 36%, and pre-tax income of $195 million increased $104 million, or 114%.

Asset management and related administrative fees increased $335 million, or 47%, primarily due to higher assets in fee-based accounts at the beginning of the current quarter. As assets in these accounts are billed primarily on balances as of the beginning of the quarter, the 9% increase in fee-based assets as of June 30, 2021 compared to March 31, 2021, should positively impact asset management fees in our fiscal fourth quarter of 2021.

Brokerage revenues increased $71 million, or 22%, due to higher trailing revenues from mutual and other fund products and annuity products, resulting from higher asset values in the current quarter, as well as higher transactional revenues.

Account and service fees increased $32 million, or 18%, primarily due to an increase in mutual fund service fees, primarily resulting from higher average mutual fund assets, as well as incremental client account and other fees resulting from our acquisition of NWPS at the end of our fiscal first quarter of 2021.

Compensation-related expenses increased $315 million, or 31%, primarily due to higher compensable net revenues.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Non-compensation expenses increased $28 million, or 20%, in part due to increased recruiting costs and other business development expenses, including travel-related expenses.

Nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $4.81 billion increased $652 million, or 16%, and pre-tax income of $527 million increased $113 million, or 27%.

Asset management and related administrative fees increased $584 million, or 25%, primarily due to higher assets in fee-based accounts at the beginning of each of the current-year quarterly billing periods compared with the prior-year quarterly billing periods.

Brokerage revenues increased $106 million, or 10%, primarily due to higher trailing revenues from mutual and other fund products and annuity products, resulting from higher average asset values, as well as higher transactional revenues due to increased client activity.

Account and service fees decreased $20 million, or 3%, primarily due to a decline in RJBDP fees from third-party banks as a result of lower short-term interest rates. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in mutual fund service fees, resulting from higher average mutual fund assets, as well as incremental client account and other fees resulting from our acquisition of NWPS at the end of our fiscal first quarter of 2021.

Net interest income decreased $22 million, or 21%, driven by a decline in interest income due to lower short-term interest rates applicable to both cash and segregated asset balances, which more than offset the impact of higher segregated asset balances. Our CIP balances increased significantly compared with the prior-year period resulting in the increase in segregated assets, and a majority of the increase was held in segregated short-term U.S. Treasury securities at very low interest rates. Partially offsetting the impact of a decrease in interest income, interest expense also decreased, despite the significant increase in client cash balances in our CIP, due to the impact of lower deposit rates paid on these balances.

Compensation-related expenses increased $531 million, or 16%, primarily due to higher compensable net revenues.

Non-compensation expenses increased $8 million, or 2%, largely due to higher communications and information processing expenses, partially offset by lower business development expenses due to limited travel and event-related expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $446 million increased $123 million, or 38%, and pre-tax income of $115 million increased $53 million, or 85%.

Brokerage revenues decreased $6 million, or 4%, primarily due to a decrease in equity brokerage revenues, as uncertainty related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic drove high levels of client activity in the prior-year quarter. Similarly, fixed income brokerage revenues continued to be strong but were slightly lower than the prior-year quarter.

Investment banking revenues increased $133 million, or 101%, compared with the prior-year quarter, due to a combination of strong results in the current quarter, and a prior-year quarter which had been negatively impacted by a slowdown in activity during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Merger & acquisition and advisory revenues increased significantly compared with the prior-year quarter, due to an increase in both the number and size of transactions, and reflected strong activity in both the U.S. and U.K. Equity underwriting revenues increased significantly, primarily due to higher levels of client activity and larger transactions in the current quarter. Debt underwriting revenues also increased, due to higher revenues from corporate underwritings, partially offset by lower revenues from public finance and asset-backed transactions. In addition to the strong results during the quarter, our investment banking pipelines remain strong and, in part, reflect the investments we have made

over the past several years, which has positioned us to enhance our services to our clients. The most recent example of such investments is our acquisition of Financo which closed at the end of our fiscal second quarter of 2021.

Compensation-related expenses increased $61 million, or 31%, primarily due to the increase in revenues.

Non-compensation expenses increased $9 million, or 14%, and included $3 million of acquisition-related expenses, comprised of the amortization expense related to intangible assets with short useful lives which arose in our acquisition of Financo.

Nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $1.33 billion increased $450 million, or 51%, and pre-tax income of $349 million increased $230 million, or 193%.

Brokerage revenues increased $98 million, or 24%, due to a significant increase in fixed income brokerage revenues as a result of an increase in client activity levels throughout the current-year period. The significant increase in client activity levels, particularly with depository clients, began toward the end of our fiscal second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Investment banking revenues increased $347 million, or 87%, due to a significant increase in merger & acquisition and advisory revenues and underwriting revenues. The significant increase in merger & acquisition and advisory revenues reflected larger individual transactions and an increase in the number of transactions, as the current-year period reflected high levels of client activity, while the prior-year period was impacted by low levels of client activity during the onset of the pandemic. Equity underwriting revenues also increased significantly, primarily due to an increase in market activity in both the U.S. and Canada. An increase in debt underwriting primarily reflected higher revenues from corporate and asset-backed underwritings, partially offset by lower revenues from public finance transactions.

Compensation-related expenses increased $222 million, or 41%, primarily due to the increase in net revenues.

Non-compensation expenses decreased $2 million, or 1%, primarily due to lower travel and event-related expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by smaller increases across various expense categories, including the aforementioned acquisition-related expenses associated with the Financo acquisition.

Managed programs

Management fees recorded in our Asset Management segment are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of our fee-billable financial assets under management (“AUM”). These AUM include the portion of fee-based AUA in our PCG segment that is invested in programs overseen by our Asset Management segment (included in the “AMS” line of the following table), as well as retail accounts managed on behalf of third-party institutions, institutional accounts and proprietary mutual funds that we manage (collectively included in the “Carillon Tower Advisers” line of the following table).

Revenues related to fee-based AUA in our PCG segment are shared by the PCG and Asset Management segments, the amount of which depends on whether clients are invested in assets that are in managed programs overseen by our Asset Management segment and the administrative services provided (see our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Results of Operations - Private Client Group” for more information). Our AUM in AMS are impacted by market fluctuations and net inflows or outflows of assets, as well as transfers between fee-based accounts and transaction-based accounts within our PCG segment.

Revenues earned by Carillon Tower Advisers for retail accounts managed on behalf of third-party institutions, institutional accounts and our proprietary mutual funds are recorded entirely in the Asset Management segment. Our AUM in Carillon Tower Advisers are impacted by market and investment performance and net inflows or outflows of assets.

Fees for our managed programs are generally collected quarterly. Approximately 65% of these fees are based on balances as of the beginning of the quarter, approximately 10% are based on balances as of the end of the quarter, and approximately 25% are based on average daily balances throughout the quarter.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $225 million increased $62 million, or 38%, and pre-tax income of $105 million increased $45 million, or 75%.

Asset management and related administrative fees increased $61 million, or 39%, driven by higher AUM and higher assets in non-discretionary asset-based programs.

Compensation expenses decreased $1 million, or 2%, and non-compensation expenses increased $18 million, or 31%. The increase in non-compensation expenses was primarily due to investment sub-advisory fees, which resulted from the increase in AUM in sub-advised programs.

Nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $629 million increased $98 million, or 18%, and pre-tax income of $275 million increased $69 million, or 33%.

Asset management and related administrative fees increased $97 million, or 19%, driven by higher AUM and higher assets in non-discretionary asset-based programs, resulting from both equity market appreciation and net inflows. Carillon Tower Advisers generated net inflows during the current-year period, despite the structural headwinds for active asset managers resulting from the industry shift from actively managed investment strategies to passive investment strategies.

Compensation expenses increased $4 million, or 3%, and included the impact of higher net revenues. Non-compensation expenses increased $25 million, or 13%, largely due to investment sub-advisory fees which resulted from the increase in AUM in sub-advised programs.

Quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $169 million decreased $9 million, or 5%, and pre-tax income of $104 million increased $90 million, or 643%.

Net interest income decreased $8 million, or 5%, as the negative impacts from lower average LIBOR and a shift in the composition of interest-earning assets compared with the prior-year quarter more than offset the impact of higher average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin decreased to 1.92% from 2.29% for the prior-year quarter, primarily due to the decline in average LIBOR, as well as a higher concentration of agency-backed available-for-sale securities, which have a lower

yield on average than loans. Based on current rates, as well as the elevated prepayment of higher-yielding securities and mortgages, we project our net interest margin to decline to approximately 1.90% for our fiscal fourth quarter of 2021.

The bank loan benefit for credit losses was $19 million in the current quarter, which was calculated under the CECL model, compared with an $81 million provision in the prior-year quarter, which was calculated under the incurred loss model. The current quarter benefit reflected an improved economic forecast, as well as improved credit ratings within our corporate loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses in the prior-year quarter reflected the rapid and widespread economic deterioration and uncertainty at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2020

Net revenues of $496 million decreased $108 million, or 18%, and pre-tax income of $286 million increased $123 million, or 75%.

Net interest income decreased $111 million, or 19%, as the negative impact from lower short-term interest rates more than offset the impact of higher average interest-earning assets. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily driven by significant growth in the available-for-sale securities portfolio and securities-based loans to PCG clients. The net interest margin decreased to 1.96% from 2.82% for the prior-year period, primarily due to the significant decline in short-term interest rates, as well as a higher concentration of agency-backed available-for-sale securities, which on average have a lower yield than loans.

We had a bank loan benefit for credit losses of $37 million, which was calculated under the CECL model, compared with a $188 million provision in the prior-year period, which was calculated under the incurred loss model. The current period benefit was largely attributable to improved economic forecasts utilized in our CECL model since our October 1, 2020 adoption date, including improved outlooks on unemployment and gross domestic product, which favorably impact most of our loan portfolios, as well as improved credit ratings within our corporate loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses in the prior-year period reflected the rapid and widespread economic deterioration and uncertainty caused by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – OTHER

This segment includes our private equity investments, interest income on certain corporate cash balances, certain acquisition-related expenses, and certain corporate overhead costs of RJF that are not allocated to other segments, including the interest costs on our public debt and any losses on extinguishment of such debt.

The pre-tax loss of $134 million was $105 million larger than the loss in the prior-year quarter.

72

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Net revenues increased $22 million, as the current quarter included $24 million of private equity valuation gains, of which $10 million were attributable to noncontrolling interests and were offset within other expenses, compared with $1 million of gains in the prior-year quarter. The current quarter valuation gains primarily reflected the impact of continued improvement in market conditions and an improved outlook for certain of our investments.

Non-interest expenses increased $127 million, primarily due to losses on the extinguishment of debt of $98 million (see Note 14 for further information), as well as the aforementioned $10 million offset of private equity valuation losses attributable to noncontrolling interests in the current quarter. The $4 million of acquisition-related expenses in the current quarter primarily included professional expenses associated with our acquisitions of Cebile Capital, which was announced in our fiscal third quarter of 2021, and Charles Stanley, which was announced in July 2021.

Nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2020

The pre-tax loss of $206 million was $100 million larger than the loss in the prior-year period.

Net revenues increased $66 million, primarily due to private equity valuation gains in the current period, compared with losses in the prior-year period, which reflected the impact of challenging market conditions at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current period included $56 million of private equity valuation gains, of which $20 million were attributable to noncontrolling interests and were offset within other expenses. These valuation gains were primarily the result of continued improvement in market conditions and an improved outlook for certain of our investments. The prior-year period included $40 million of private equity valuation losses, of which $23 million were attributable to noncontrolling interests and were offset within other expenses. Interest income earned on corporate cash balances decreased compared with the prior-year period due to lower short-term interest rates, partially offset by the impact of higher average balances, and interest expense increased primarily as a result of the issuance of $500 million of senior notes in March 2020.

Non-interest expenses increased $166 million, or 488%, primarily due to the aforementioned losses on extinguishment of debt of $98 million, as well as the aforementioned $20 million in gains attributable to noncontrolling interests, compared with $23 million in losses in the prior-year period. The $6 million of acquisition-related expenses in the current year primarily included professional and integration expenses associated with our acquisitions of NWPS and Financo during fiscal 2021, as well as our announced acquisitions of Cebile Capital and Charles Stanley.

CERTAIN STATISTICAL DISCLOSURES BY BANK HOLDING COMPANIES

We are required to provide certain statistical disclosures as a bank holding company under the SEC’s Industry Guide 3.  The following table provides certain of those disclosures.

	Three months ended June 30,		Nine months ended June 30,
	2021	2020	2021	2020
Return on assets	2.2%	1.5%	2.4%	1.9%
Return on equity	15.9%	10.0%	17.4%	11.9%
Average equity to average assets	13.6%	14.6%	14.0%	15.7%
Dividend payout ratio	17.9%	30.1%	16.9%	25.6%

Return on assets is computed by dividing annualized net income for the period indicated by average assets for each respective period. Average assets for the quarter is computed by adding total assets as of the date indicated to the prior quarter-end total and dividing by two. Average assets for the year-to-date period is computed by adding total assets as of each quarter-end date during the year-to-date period to the beginning of the year total and dividing by four.

Return on equity is computed by dividing annualized net income for the period indicated by average equity for each respective period. Average equity for the quarter is computed by adding total equity attributable to RJF as of the date indicated to the prior quarter-end total and dividing by two. Average equity for the year-to-date period is computed by adding total equity attributable to RJF as of each quarter-end date during the year-to-date period to the beginning of the year total and dividing by four.

Average equity to average assets is computed by dividing average equity by average assets, as calculated in accordance with the previous explanations.

Dividend payout ratio is computed by dividing dividends declared per common share during the period by earnings per diluted common share for the period.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Refer to the “Net interest analysis” and “Risk management - Credit risk” sections of this MD&A and to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for the other required disclosures.

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 economic and market environments.

Senior management establishes our liquidity and capital management framework. This framework includes senior management’s review of short- and long-term cash flow forecasts, review of monthly capital expenditures, monitoring of the availability of alternative sources of financing, and 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, cash flow, risk, and future liquidity needs. Our treasury department assists in evaluating, monitoring and controlling the impact that our business activities have on our financial condition, liquidity and capital structure, and maintains our relationships with various lenders. The objective of this framework is 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, collateralized financing arrangements or additional capital raising activities under our “universal” shelf registration statement.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $592 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 to $5.98 billion. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, cash provided by our operations (including significant net income) and proceeds from our $750 million of 3.75% senior notes offering (net of debt issuance costs), were offset by cash used for the early-redemption of $750 million of our pre-existing senior notes and the related make-whole premiums, dividend payments, share repurchases, and investments in future growth with our acquisitions of NWPS and Financo. We also had significant increases in client cash balances, which increased both our brokerage client payables and our bank deposits. However, this cash was largely used to increase our assets segregated pursuant to regulations, primarily through the purchase of U.S. Treasuries, as part of our brokerage activities, and to increase our bank loan portfolio and available-for-sale securities as part of our banking activities.

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

Sources of liquidity

Approximately $1.6 billion of our total June 30, 2021 cash and cash equivalents included cash held directly at the parent, or parent cash loaned to RJ&A. As of June 30, 2021, RJF had loaned $1.09 billion to RJ&A (such amount is included in the RJ&A cash balance in the following table), which RJ&A has invested on behalf of RJF in cash and cash equivalents or otherwise deployed in its normal business activities. The following table presents our holdings of cash and cash equivalents.

$ in millions	June 30, 2021
RJF	$	480
RJ&A	2,262
Raymond James Bank	1,847
RJ Ltd.	869
RJFS	123
Carillon Tower Advisers	82
Other subsidiaries	319
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	5,982

RJF maintained depository accounts at Raymond James Bank with a balance of $185 million as of June 30, 2021. The portion of this total that was available on demand without restrictions, which amounted to $108 million as of June 30, 2021, is reflected in the RJF total (and is excluded from the Raymond James Bank cash balance in the preceding table).

A large portion of the RJ Ltd. cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2021 was held to meet regulatory requirements and was not available for use by the parent.

74

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

In addition to the cash balances described, we have various other potential sources of cash available to the parent from subsidiaries, as described in the following section.

Liquidity available from subsidiaries

Liquidity is principally available to RJF, the parent company, from RJ&A and Raymond James Bank.

Certain of our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. As a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), RJ&A is subject to FINRA’s capital requirements, which are substantially the same as Rule 15c3-1. Rule 15c3-1 provides for an “alternative net capital requirement,” which RJ&A has elected. Regulations require that minimum net capital, as defined, be equal to the greater of $1.5 million or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from client transactions. In addition, covenants in RJ&A’s committed financing facilities require its net capital to be a minimum of 10% of aggregate debit items.  At June 30, 2021, RJ&A exceeded the minimum regulatory requirements, the covenants in its financing arrangements pertaining to net capital, as well as its internally-targeted net capital tolerances.  FINRA may impose certain restrictions, such as restricting withdrawals of equity capital, if a member firm were to fall below a certain threshold or fail to meet minimum net capital requirements.

RJ&A, as a nonbank custodian of Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”), must also satisfy certain Internal Revenue Service regulations in order to accept new IRAs and qualified plans and retain the accounts for which it serves as nonbank custodian. With growth in the value of client assets in such accounts, the capital of RJ&A may need to grow to continue to satisfy this requirement. As a result, RJ&A may limit dividends it would otherwise remit to RJF. We evaluate regulatory requirements, loan covenants and certain internal tolerances when determining the amount of liquidity available to RJF from RJ&A.

Raymond James Bank may pay dividends to RJF without prior approval of its regulator as long as the dividends do not exceed the sum of Raymond James Bank’s current calendar year and the previous two calendar years’ retained net income, and Raymond James Bank maintains its targeted regulatory capital ratios. Dividends from Raymond James Bank may be limited to the extent that capital is needed to support its balance sheet growth.

Although we have liquidity available to us from our other subsidiaries, the available amounts are not as significant as those previously described and, in certain instances, may be subject to regulatory requirements.

Borrowings and financing arrangements

Committed financing arrangements

Our ability to borrow is dependent upon compliance with the conditions in our various loan agreements and, in the case of secured borrowings, collateral eligibility requirements. Our committed financing arrangements consist of a tri-party repurchase agreement (i.e., securities sold under agreements to repurchase) and, in the case of the $500 million revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”), an unsecured line of credit. The required market value of the collateral associated with the tri-party repurchase agreement ranges from 105% to 125% of the amount financed.

The following table presents our committed financing arrangements with third-party lenders, which we generally utilize to finance a portion of our fixed income trading instruments, and the outstanding balances related thereto.

Committed secured	$	100	$	—	$	100	1

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Our committed unsecured financing arrangement in the preceding table represents our Credit Facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of up to $500 million, with a sublimit of $300 million for RJF. RJ&A may borrow up to $500 million under the Credit Facility, depending on the amount of outstanding borrowings by RJF. For additional details on our committed unsecured financing arrangement, see our discussion of the Credit Facility in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K. In April 2021, we amended our Credit Facility, maintaining the $500 million maximum borrowing amount, but extending the term through April 2026 and incorporating a lower cost of borrowing under the facility and certain favorable covenant modifications.

Uncommitted financing arrangements

Our uncommitted financing arrangements are in the form of secured lines of credit, secured bilateral or tri-party repurchase agreements, or unsecured lines of credit. Our arrangements with third-party lenders are generally utilized to finance a portion of our fixed income securities or for cash management purposes. Our uncommitted secured financing arrangements generally require us to post collateral in excess of the amount borrowed and are generally collateralized by RJ&A-owned securities or by securities that we have received as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings under three uncommitted secured borrowing arrangements out of a total of 11 uncommitted financing arrangements (seven uncommitted secured and four uncommitted unsecured). However, lenders are under no contractual obligation to lend to us under uncommitted credit facilities.

The following table presents our borrowings on uncommitted financing arrangements, all of which were in the form of repurchase agreements in RJ&A and were included in “Collateralized financings” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Other borrowings and collateralized financings

We had $850 million in FHLB borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2021, comprised of floating-rate advances, all of which were secured by a blanket lien on Raymond James Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio (see Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding these borrowings). Raymond James Bank had an additional $3.11 billion in immediate credit available from the FHLB as of June 30, 2021 and, with the pledge of additional eligible collateral to the FHLB, total available credit of 30% of total assets.

Raymond James Bank is eligible to participate in the Federal Reserve’s discount window program; however, we do not view borrowings from the Federal Reserve as a primary source of funding.  The credit available in this program is subject to periodic review, may be terminated or reduced at the discretion of the Federal Reserve, and is secured by pledged C&I loans.

We act as an intermediary between broker-dealers and other financial institutions whereby we borrow securities from one broker-dealer and then lend them to another.  Where permitted, we have also loaned, to broker-dealers and other financial

institutions, securities owned by clients or the firm.  We account for each of these types of transactions as collateralized agreements and financings, with the outstanding balance of $100 million as of June 30, 2021 related to the securities loaned included in “Collateralized financings” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition of this Form 10-Q. See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for more information on our collateralized agreements and financings.

At June 30, 2021, in addition to the financing arrangements previously described, we had $9 million outstanding on a mortgage loan for our St. Petersburg, Florida home-office complex that is included in “Other borrowings” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition of this Form 10-Q.

Senior notes payable

In April 2021, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior notes due April 2051. We utilized the proceeds from the offering and cash on hand to early-redeem our $250 million par 5.625% senior notes due 2024 and our $500 million par 3.625% senior notes due 2026, which had been outstanding as of March 31, 2021. See Note 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

After the issuance of the 3.75% senior notes due April 2051 and repurchase and redemption of the 5.625% senior notes due 2024 and 3.625% senior notes due 2026, at June 30, 2021, we had aggregate outstanding senior notes payable of $2.04 billion, which, exclusive of any unaccreted premiums or discounts and debt issuance costs, was comprised of $500 million par 4.65% senior notes due 2030, $800 million par 4.95% senior notes due 2046, and $750 million par 3.75% senior notes due 2051.

Credit ratings

Our issuer and senior long-term debt ratings as of the most current report are detailed in the following table. In April 2021, Fitch Ratings, Inc. assigned its first issuer and senior long-term debt rating for Raymond James Financial, Inc.

Rating Agency	Rating	Outlook
Fitch Ratings, Inc.	A-	Stable
Moody’s Investors Services	Baa1	Stable
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services	BBB+	Stable

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, capital structure, overall risk management, business diversification and market share, and competitive position in the markets in which we operate. Deterioration in any of these factors could impact our credit ratings.  Any rating downgrades could increase our costs in the event we were to obtain 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.  A downgrade below investment grade could 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. A credit downgrade could damage our reputation and result in certain counterparties limiting their business with us, result in negative comments by analysts, potentially negatively impact investors’ and/or clients’ perception of us, and cause a decline in our stock price. None of our borrowing arrangements contains a condition or event of default related to our credit ratings. However, a credit downgrade would result in the firm incurring a higher facility fee on the Credit Facility, in addition to triggering a higher interest rate applicable to any borrowings outstanding on that line as of and subsequent to such downgrade. Conversely, an improvement in RJF’s current credit rating could have a favorable impact on the facility fee, as well as the interest rate applicable to any borrowings on such line.

Other sources and uses of liquidity

We have company-owned life insurance policies which are utilized to fund certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans and other employee benefit plans. Certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation plans and other employee benefit plans are employee-directed while others are company-directed. Certain policies which we could readily borrow against had a cash surrender value of $828 million as of June 30, 2021, comprised of $509 million related to employee-directed plans and $319 million related to company-directed plans, and we were able to borrow up to 90%, or $745 million, of the June 30, 2021 total

without restriction.  To effect any such borrowing, the underlying investments would be converted to money market investments, therefore requiring us to take market risk related to the employee-directed plans. There were no borrowings outstanding against any of these policies as of June 30, 2021.

On May 12, 2021, we filed a “universal” shelf registration statement with the SEC pursuant to which we can issue debt, equity and other capital instruments if and when necessary or perceived by us to be opportune. Subject to certain conditions, this registration statement will be effective through May 12, 2024.

On May 25, 2021, we announced we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Cebile. We expect the closing date of the transaction to occur in our fiscal fourth quarter of 2021. We currently have the ability to utilize our cash on hand to fund the purchase. See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

On July 29, 2021, we announced our intention to make an offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of U.K.-based Charles Stanley at a price of £5.15 per share, or approximately £279 million ($387 million as of July 28, 2021). The transaction, subject to U.K. Financial Conduct Authority and Charles Stanley shareholder approval, is expected to close in our fiscal first quarter of 2022. We currently have the ability to utilize our cash on hand to fund the purchase. Under the terms of the intended offer, a loan note alternative will be available to Charles Stanley shareholders which will enable eligible Charles Stanley shareholders to elect to receive a loan note in lieu of part or all of the cash consideration to which they would otherwise be entitled under the terms of the offer. The initial interest rate for the loan note alternative for the first year is 0.1%. The note bears interest at a variable rate reset annually, calculated as the Bank of England’s base rate, plus a differential defined in the loan note, with the interest rate not to exceed 1.5% in any period. See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS

The assets on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents, assets segregated pursuant to regulations (segregated for the benefit of clients), receivables including bank loans, financial instruments held either for 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 $57.16 billion as of June 30, 2021 were $9.68 billion, or 20%, greater than our total assets as of September 30, 2020. The increase in assets was primarily due to a $4.64 billion increase in assets segregated pursuant to regulations, primarily due to a significant increase in client cash balances. Bank loans, net increased by $2.70 billion, primarily due to an increase in securities-based loans to PCG clients and corporate loans. In addition, cash and cash equivalents increased $592 million and available-for-sale securities increased $541 million. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, net increased $262 million due to the acquisitions of NWPS and Financo during the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, our total liabilities of $49.24 billion were $8.94 billion, or 22%, greater than our total liabilities as of September 30, 2020. The increase in total liabilities was primarily related to the significant increase in client cash balances as of June 30, 2021, including a $5.05 billion increase in brokerage client payables, primarily due to an increase in client cash held in our CIP, and a $3.54 billion increase in bank deposits, reflecting higher RJBDP balances held at Raymond James Bank.

REGULATORY

Refer to the discussion of the regulatory environment in which we operate and the impact on our operations of certain rules and regulations in “Item 1 - Business - Regulation” and “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory” of our 2020 Form 10-K.

RJF and many of its subsidiaries are each subject to various regulatory capital requirements. As of June 30, 2021, all of our active regulated domestic and international subsidiaries had net capital in excess of minimum requirements. In addition, RJF and Raymond James Bank were categorized as “well-capitalized” as of June 30, 2021. The maintenance of certain risk-based and other regulatory capital levels could influence various capital allocation decisions impacting one or more of our businesses.  However, due to the current capital position of RJF and its regulated subsidiaries, we do not anticipate these capital requirements will have a negative impact on our future business activities. See Note 21 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information on regulatory capital requirements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Legislative and regulatory changes in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic

In addition to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act enacted in March 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 in December 2020. This additional stimulus bill provided further emergency COVID-19 relief, as well as extended certain provisions of the CARES Act. Under the CARES Act, financial institutions were permitted to temporarily suspend any determination of a loan modification as a result of the effects of COVID-19 as being a TDR, including impairment for accounting purposes. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 extended such relief until the earlier of: (1) 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning COVID-19 terminates; or (2) January 1, 2022. We elected to apply the extension for relief under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 to certain loan modifications that primarily relate to short-term payment deferral and have not classified such modifications as TDRs. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Credit risk” for further information on the impact of such loans.

Raymond James Bank

On February 2, 2021, Raymond James Bank filed an application with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) to convert from a national bank primarily supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) to a Florida-chartered state bank. Raymond James Bank also filed an application with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta to retain its membership in the Federal Reserve System. Effective June 1, 2021, upon conversion to a state member bank following approval by the Florida OFR, Raymond James Bank is no longer supervised by the OCC and is jointly supervised by the OFR and the Fed. As a state member bank, Raymond James Bank will also continue to be supervised by the FDIC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. As a state member bank, we do not anticipate that there will be any material changes to Raymond James Bank’s existing business or operations.

Standard of care

The U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) is expected to amend the rule that determines whether an investment professional is a fiduciary to their clients’ retirement accounts under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and Internal Revenue Code. While the DOL has finalized a new exemption to allow investment advice fiduciaries to receive transaction-based compensation and engage in certain principal trades, imposing a new standard of care on additional client relationships could lead to incremental costs for our business. We are evaluating how these regulatory changes may impact our business.

Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) regulations

On July 20, 2021, the Fed, the FDIC and the OCC issued a joint statement in which they committed to work together to jointly modernize the CRA regulations. Until such new regulations are implemented, Raymond James Bank will continue to operate under the Fed’s CRA regulations currently in effect. At this time it is uncertain what impact, if any, the impending CRA regulations will have on Raymond James Bank and other depositories with respect to their CRA activities.

Discontinuation of LIBOR

The administrator of LIBOR has proposed to extend publication of the most commonly used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023 and to cease publishing other LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021. The U.S. federal banking agencies have issued guidance strongly encouraging banking organizations to cease using the U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate in new contracts as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. Our enterprise-wide initiative is continuing to assess and implement necessary changes to our contracts pursuant to the Alternative Reference Rate Committee’s (“ARRC”) fallback recommendations, as well as updating systems, processes, documentation, and models. We also began offering Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-linked derivatives.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during any reporting period in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Management has established detailed policies and control procedures intended to ensure the appropriateness of such estimates and assumptions and their consistent application from period to period. For a description of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K and Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

79

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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 consolidated financial statements. Therefore, understanding these critical accounting estimates is important in understanding our reported results of operations and financial position. We believe that of our accounting estimates and assumptions, those described in the following sections involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. Economic uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has made it more challenging for us to determine the amount of our allowance for credit losses and has required a greater reliance on judgment in recent periods in determining this amount.

Valuation of financial instruments

The use of fair value to measure financial instruments, with related gains or losses recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, is fundamental to our financial statements and our risk management processes. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of our fair value accounting policies regarding financial instruments and financial instrument liabilities. See Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information on our financial instruments at fair value.

Loss provisions for legal and regulatory matters

The recorded amount of liabilities related to legal and regulatory matters is subject to significant management judgment. For a description of the significant estimates and judgments associated with establishing such accruals, see the “Contingent liabilities” section of Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K. In addition, refer to Note 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for information regarding legal and regulatory matter contingencies as of June 30, 2021.

Allowance for credit losses

We evaluate our held for investment bank loans, unfunded lending commitments, loans to financial advisors and certain other financial assets to estimate an allowance for credit losses. Effective October 1, 2020, we adopted the CECL accounting guidance which changed the methodology used to measure the allowance for credit losses from an allowance based on incurred losses to an allowance based on expected credit losses over a financial asset’s lifetime. The remaining life of our financial assets is determined by considering contractual terms and expected prepayments, among other factors. We employ multiple methodologies in estimating an allowance for credit losses and our approaches differ by type of financial asset and the risk characteristics within each financial asset type. Our estimates are based on ongoing evaluations of the portfolio, the related credit risk characteristics, and the overall economic and environmental conditions affecting the financial assets. Our process for determining the allowance for credit losses includes a complex analysis of several quantitative and qualitative factors, requiring significant management judgment due to matters that are inherently uncertain. This uncertainty can produce volatility in our allowance for credit losses. In addition, the allowance for credit losses could be insufficient to cover actual losses. In such an event, any losses in excess of our allowance would result in a decrease in our net income, as well as a decrease in the level of regulatory capital. See the discussion regarding our methodology in estimating the allowance for credit losses in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. See Notes 8 and 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information on our bank loan and financial advisor loan portfolios.

Our allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2021 was primarily related to bank loans and loans to financial advisors. At June 30, 2021, the amortized cost of all bank loans was $24.22 billion and the related allowance for credit losses was $322 million, or 1.34% of the held for investment loan portfolio. At June 30, 2021, the amortized cost of loans to financial advisors was $1.07 billion and the related allowance for credit losses was $29 million, which was 2.71% of the loan portfolio.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

The FASB has issued certain accounting updates which were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risks are an inherent part of our business and activities. Management of risk is critical to our fiscal soundness and profitability. Our risk management processes are multi-faceted and require communication, judgment and knowledge of financial products and markets. We have a formal Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) program to assess and review aggregate risks across the firm. Our management takes an active role in the ERM process, which requires specific administrative and business functions to participate in the identification, assessment, monitoring and control of various risks.

The principal risks related to our business activities are market, credit, liquidity, operational, model, and compliance.

Governance

Our Board of Directors oversees the firm’s management and mitigation of risk, reinforcing a culture that encourages ethical conduct and risk management throughout the firm.  Senior management communicates and reinforces this culture through three lines of risk management and a number of senior-level management committees.  Our first line of risk management, which includes all of our businesses, owns its risks and is responsible for helping to identify, escalate, and mitigate risks arising from its day-to-day activities.  The second line of risk management, which includes the Compliance, Legal, and Risk Management departments, supports and provides guidance and oversight to client-facing businesses and other first-line risk management functions in identifying and mitigating risk. The second line of risk management also tests and monitors the effectiveness of controls, escalates risks when appropriate, and reports on these risks.  The third line of risk management, Internal Audit, independently reviews activities conducted by the previous lines of risk management to assess their management and mitigation of risk, providing additional assurance to the Board of Directors and senior management, with a view toward enhancing our oversight, management, and mitigation of risk.

Market risk

Market risk is our risk of loss resulting from the impact of changes in market prices on our trading inventory, derivatives and investment positions. We have exposure to market risk primarily through our broker-dealer trading operations and our banking operations. See “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Market risk” of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of our market risk, including how we manage such risk. See Notes 4, 5 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for fair value and other information regarding our trading inventories, available-for-sale securities and derivative instruments.

Interest rate risk

Trading activities

We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our trading inventory (primarily comprised of fixed income instruments) in our Capital Markets segment. We actively manage the interest rate risk arising from our fixed income trading securities through the use of hedging strategies that involve U.S. Treasury securities, futures contracts, liquid spread products and derivatives.

We monitor the Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) for all of our trading portfolios on a daily basis. 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. We apply the Fed’s Market Risk Rule (“MRR”) for the purpose of calculating our capital ratios. The MRR, also known as the “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines: Market Risk” rule released by the Fed, the OCC and FDIC, requires us to calculate VaR for all of our trading portfolios (including derivatives), which include fixed income, equity, and foreign exchange instruments.

To calculate VaR, we use historical simulation. This approach assumes that historical changes in market conditions, such as in interest rates and equity prices, are representative of future changes. Simulation is based on daily market data for the previous twelve months. VaR is reported at a 99% confidence level for a one-day time horizon. Assuming that future market conditions change as they have in the past twelve months, we would expect to incur losses greater than those predicted by our one-day VaR estimates about once every 100 trading days, or about three times per year on average. For regulatory capital calculation purposes, we also report VaR numbers for a ten-day time horizon.

The Fed’s MRR requires us to perform daily back-testing procedures of our VaR model, whereby we compare each day’s projected VaR to its regulatory-defined daily trading losses, which exclude fees, commissions, reserves, net interest income and

81

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

intraday trading. Regulatory-defined daily trading losses are used to evaluate the performance of our VaR model and are not comparable to our actual daily net revenues. Based on these daily “ex ante” versus “ex post” comparisons, we determine whether the number of times that regulatory-defined daily trading losses exceed VaR is consistent with our expectations at a 99% confidence level. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, our regulatory-defined daily losses in our trading portfolios did not exceed our predicted VaR.

The following table sets forth the high, low, period-end and daily average VaR for all of our trading portfolios, including fixed income and equity instruments, for the period and dates indicated.

	Nine months ended June 30, 2021				Period-end VaR					Three months ended June 30,				Nine months ended June 30,
$ in millions	High		Low		June 30, 2021		September 30, 2020		$ in millions	2021		2020		2021		2020
Daily VaR	$	11	$	1	$	1	$	8	Average daily VaR	$	2	$	2	$	5	$	2

Average daily VaR was higher during the current year-to-date period compared with the prior year-to-date period, as a result of the impact of increased volatility from the COVID-19 pandemic on our VaR model during the first half of fiscal 2021. However, during our third fiscal quarter of 2021, the remaining COVID-19 pandemic-related scenarios fell outside of the VaR model’s twelve-month historical simulation period, resulting in period-end VaR decreasing to $1 million as of June 30, 2021.

The modeling of the risk characteristics of trading positions involves a number of assumptions and approximations. While management believes that these 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.

Separately, RJF provides additional market risk disclosures to comply with the MRR which are available on the Investor Relations section of our website under “SEC filings and Other Reports - Other Reports and Information.”

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, review of issuer ratings and stress testing. We utilize stress testing to complement our VaR analysis so as to measure risk under historical and hypothetical adverse scenarios. During volatile markets, we may choose to pare our trading inventories to reduce risk.

Banking operations

Raymond James Bank maintains an interest-earning asset portfolio that is comprised of cash, C&I loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, REIT loans, tax-exempt loans and SBL and other loans, as well as agency MBS and agency CMOs (held in the available-for-sale securities portfolio), SBA loan securitizations and a trading portfolio of corporate loans.  These interest-earning assets are primarily funded by client deposits.  Based on its current asset portfolio, Raymond James Bank is subject to interest rate risk.  Raymond James Bank analyzes interest rate risk based on forecasted net interest income, which is the net amount of interest received and interest paid, and the net portfolio valuation, both across a range of interest rate scenarios.

One of the objectives of Raymond James 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 in “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Market risk” of our 2020 Form 10-K. We utilize a hedging strategy using interest rate swaps as a result of Raymond James Bank’s asset and liability management process. For further information regarding this hedging strategy, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K.

In our available-for-sale securities portfolio, we hold primarily fixed-rate agency MBS and agency CMOs which are carried at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, with changes in the fair value of the portfolio recorded through OCI on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. At June 30, 2021, our available-for-sale securities portfolio had a fair value of $8.19 billion with a weighted-average yield of 1.17% and a weighted-average life of approximately 4 years. See Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Equity price risk

We are exposed to equity price risk as a result of our capital markets activities. Our broker-dealer activities are generally client-driven, and we carry equity securities as part of our trading inventory to facilitate such activities, although the amounts are not as significant as our fixed income trading inventory.  We attempt to reduce the risk of loss inherent in our inventory of equity securities by monitoring those security positions each day and establishing position limits. Equity securities held in our trading inventory are generally included in VaR.

In addition, we have a private equity portfolio, included in “Other investments” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, which is comprised of various direct investments, as well as investments in third-party private equity funds and various legacy private equity funds which we sponsor. Of the total private equity investments at June 30, 2021 of $159 million, the portion we owned was $115 million. See Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information on this portfolio.

Foreign exchange risk

We are subject to foreign exchange risk due to our investments in foreign subsidiaries as well as transactions and resulting balances denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. For example, our bank loan portfolio includes loans which are denominated in Canadian dollars, totaling $1.21 billion and $1.05 billion at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, when converted to the U.S. dollar. A majority of such loans are held by Raymond James Bank’s Canadian subsidiary, which is discussed in the following sections.

Investments in foreign subsidiaries

Raymond James Bank has an investment in a Canadian subsidiary, resulting in foreign exchange risk. To mitigate its foreign exchange risk, Raymond James Bank utilizes short-term, forward foreign exchange contracts. These derivatives are primarily accounted for as net investment hedges in the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2020 Form 10-K and Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information regarding these derivatives.

We had foreign exchange risk in our investment in RJ Ltd. of CAD 393 million at June 30, 2021, which was not hedged. Foreign exchange gains/losses related to this investment are primarily reflected in OCI on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 17 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information regarding our components of OCI.

We also have foreign exchange risk associated with our investments in subsidiaries located in Europe. These investments are not hedged and we do not believe we had material foreign exchange risk either individually, or in the aggregate, pertaining to these subsidiaries as of June 30, 2021. As previous noted, on July 29, 2021 we announced our intention to make an offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of U.K.-based Charles Stanley at a price of £5.15 per share, or approximately £279 million. Upon closing, this transaction would increase our foreign exchange exposure associated with investments in subsidiaries located in Europe.

Transactions and resulting balances denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar

We are subject to foreign exchange risk due to our holdings of cash and certain other assets and liabilities resulting from transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Any currency-related gains/losses arising from these foreign currency denominated balances are reflected in “Other” revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The foreign exchange risk associated with a portion of such transactions and balances denominated in foreign currency are mitigated utilizing short-term, forward foreign exchange contracts. Such derivatives are not designated hedges and therefore, the related gains/losses are included in “Other” revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for information regarding our derivatives.

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, including how we manage such

risk, in “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Credit risk” of our 2020 Form 10-K.

The initial decline in economic activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic caused increased credit risk particularly with regard to companies in sectors that were most significantly impacted by the economic disruption, including energy, airlines, entertainment and leisure, restaurants and gaming. The speed and magnitude in which various sectors have recovered since the onset of the pandemic has been continually evolving. Given the stresses on certain of our clients’ liquidity, we enhanced our credit monitoring activities, with an increased focus on monitoring our credit exposures and counterparty credit risk. Since the onset of the pandemic, Raymond James Bank has enacted risk mitigation strategies including, but not limited to, the sale of loans in those sectors with a high likelihood of adverse impact arising from the pandemic. We have also required collateral to be posted across our credit risk exposures in accordance with agreements with our borrowers and counterparties. Although economic conditions have generally improved, we have maintained our increased focus on monitoring our credit exposures and counterparty credit risk.

Brokerage activities

We are engaged in various trading and brokerage activities in which our counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks and other financial institutions. We are exposed to risk that these counterparties may not fulfill their obligations. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty and/or the issuer of the instrument. We manage this risk by imposing and monitoring individual and aggregate position limits within each business segment for each counterparty, conducting regular credit reviews of financial counterparties, reviewing security and loan concentrations, holding and calculating the fair value of collateral on certain transactions and conducting business through clearing organizations, which may guarantee performance.

Our client activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various transactions on behalf of our clients. Client activities are transacted on either a cash or margin basis. Credit exposure results from client margin loans, which are monitored daily and are collateralized by the securities in the clients’ accounts. We monitor exposure to industry sectors and individual securities and perform analysis on a daily basis in connection with our margin lending activities. We adjust our margin requirements if we believe our risk exposure is not appropriate based on market conditions. In addition, when clients execute a purchase, we are at some risk that the client will default on their financial obligation associated with the trade. If this occurs, we may have to liquidate the position at a loss.

We offer loans to financial advisors and certain other key revenue producers primarily for recruiting, transitional cost assistance and retention purposes. We have credit risk and may incur a loss primarily in the event that such borrower is no longer affiliated with us. See Notes 2 and 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information about our loans to financial advisors.

Banking activities

Raymond James Bank has a substantial loan portfolio.  While our bank loan portfolio is diversified, a significant downturn in the overall economy, such as that experienced in our fiscal year 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, deterioration in real estate values or a significant issue within any sector or sectors where we have a concentration will generally result in large provisions for credit losses and/or charge-offs. Conversely, should the economy recover at a faster pace than initially forecasted, or the negative impact of the significant downtown event be less than originally projected, the timing and magnitude of any decreases in required reserves for credit losses can be uncertain. We determine the allowance required for specific loan grades based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our methods for determining the allowance for each class of loans and make enhancements we consider appropriate.

Our allowance for credit losses methodology is described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. As our bank loan portfolio is segregated into six portfolio segments, likewise, the allowance for credit losses is segregated by these same segments.  The risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows.

C&I: Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by all assets of the business.  Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the respective business.  Unfavorable economic and political conditions, including the resultant decrease in consumer or business spending, may have an adverse effect on the credit quality of loans in this segment.

CRE: Loans in this segment are primarily secured by income-producing properties.  For owner-occupied properties, the cash flows are derived from the operations of the business, and the underlying cash flows may be adversely affected by the

85

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

deterioration in the financial condition of the operating business.  The underlying cash flows generated by non-owner-occupied properties may be adversely affected by increased vacancy and rental rates, which are monitored on a quarterly basis.  This portfolio segment includes CRE construction loans which also look at other risks such as project budget overruns and performance variables related to the contractor and subcontractors. With respect to commercial construction of residential developments, there is also the risk that the builder has a geographical concentration of developments.  Adverse developments in any of these areas may have a negative effect on the credit quality of loans in this segment.

REIT: Loans in this segment are made to businesses that own or finance income-producing real estate across various property sectors. This portfolio segment may include extensions of credit to companies that engage in real estate development. Repayment of these loans is dependent on income generated from real estate properties or the sale of real estate. A portion of this segment may consist of loans secured by residential product types (single-family residential, including condominiums and land held for residential development) within a range of markets. Deterioration in the financial condition of the operating business, reductions in the value of real estate, as well as increased vacancy and rental rates may all adversely affect the loans in this segment.

Tax-exempt: Loans in this segment are made to governmental and nonprofit entities and are generally secured by a pledge of revenue and, in some cases, by a security interest in or a mortgage on the asset being financed. For loans to governmental entities, repayment is expected from a pledge of certain revenues or taxes. For nonprofit entities, repayment is expected from revenues which may include fundraising proceeds. These loans are subject to demographic risk, therefore much of the credit assessment of tax-exempt loans is driven by the entity’s revenue base and the general economic environment. Adverse developments in either of these areas may have a negative effect on the credit quality of loans in this segment.

Residential mortgage (includes home equity loans/lines): All of our residential mortgage loans adhere to stringent underwriting parameters pertaining to credit score and credit history, debt-to-income ratio of borrower, LTV, and combined LTV (including second mortgage/home equity loans).  We do not originate or purchase adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans with negative amortization, reverse mortgages, or loans to subprime borrowers.  Loans with deeply discounted teaser rates are not originated or purchased.  All loans in this segment are collateralized by residential real estate and repayment is primarily dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.  A decline in the strength of the economy, particularly unemployment rates and housing prices, among other factors, could have a significant effect on the credit quality of loans in this segment.

SBL and other: Loans in this segment are collateralized generally by the borrower’s marketable securities at advance rates consistent with industry standards. These loans are monitored daily for adherence to LTV guidelines and when a loan exceeds the required LTV, a collateral call is issued. Past due loans are minimal as any past due amounts result in a notice to the client for payment or the potential sale of the collateral which will bring the loan to a current status.

In evaluating credit risk, we consider trends in loan performance, the level of allowance coverage relative to similar banking institutions, industry or customer concentrations, the loan portfolio composition and macroeconomic factors (both current and forecasted). These factors have a potentially negative impact on loan performance and net charge-offs.

Our allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2021 was determined under the CECL model due to our October 1, 2020 adoption of the new credit impairment standard. See Notes 2 and 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information. Our allowance for credit losses, as well as our methodologies and assumptions used in estimating the allowance, are regularly evaluated to determine if our methods and estimates continue to be appropriate for each class of loans, with adjustments made on a quarterly basis. Several factors were taken into consideration in evaluating the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2021, including loan and borrower characteristics, such as internal risk ratings, delinquency status, collateral type and the remaining term of the loan adjusted for expected prepayments. In addition, the estimate of credit losses considered the relatively small amount of net charge-offs during the period, the level of nonperforming loans and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also considered the uncertainty related to certain industry sectors, including commercial real estate, and the extent of credit exposure to specific borrowers within the portfolio. Finally, we considered current economic conditions that might impact the portfolio. We continue to assess the impact of both the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic recovery therefrom, as new information becomes available regarding the financial repercussions to our borrowers, the risk ratings for individual loans will be updated and the allowance will be adjusted accordingly.

Our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of bank loans held for investment was 1.34%, 1.69% and 1.65% at June 30, 2021, October 1, 2020 (our CECL adoption date) and September 30, 2020, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, we had a benefit for credit losses on our bank loan portfolio of $19 million and $37 million, respectively,

86

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

compared to a provision for credit losses of $81 million and $188 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. See further explanation of the credit loss provision increase in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Results of Operations - Raymond James Bank” of this Form 10-Q and Note 8 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for detail on the changes in our allowance for credit losses.

The level of charge-off activity is a factor that is considered in evaluating the potential severity of future credit losses. The following table presents net loan (charge-offs)/recoveries and the percentage of net loan (charge-offs)/recoveries to the average outstanding loan balances by loan portfolio segment.

	Three Months Ended June 30								Nine Months Ended June 30
	2021				2020				2021				2020
$ in millions	Net loan (charge-off)/recovery amount (1)		% of avg. outstanding loans		Net loan (charge-off)/recovery amount (1)		% of avg. outstanding loans		Net loan (charge-off)/recovery amount (1)		% of avg. outstanding loans		Net loan (charge-off)/recovery amount (1)		% of avg. outstanding loans
C&I loans	$	(1)	0.05	%	$	(71)	3.55	%	$	(3)	0.05	%	$	(71)	1.18	%
CRE loans	(3)		0.44	%	(2)		0.21	%	(3)		0.15	%	(2)		0.07	%
Residential mortgage loans	—		—	%	1		0.08	%	—		—	%	1		0.03	%
Total	$	(4)	0.07	%	$	(72)	1.31	%	$	(6)	0.04	%	$	(72)	0.44	%

(1)    Charge-offs related to loan sales during the period were $1 million and $3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $61 million for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020.

The level of nonperforming loans is another indicator of potential future credit losses. The following table presents the nonperforming loans balance and total allowance for credit losses for the periods presented.

	June 30, 2021					September 30, 2020
$ in millions	Nonperforming loan balance			Allowance for credit losses balance		Nonperforming loan balance			Allowance for credit losses balance
C&I loans	$	—		$	188	$	2		$	200
CRE loans	27			73		14			81
REIT loans	—			26		—			36
Tax-exempt loans	—			2		—			14
Residential mortgage loans	15			29		14			18
SBL and other	—			4		—			5
Total nonperforming loans held for investment	$	42		$	322	$	30		$	354
Total nonperforming loans as a % of total bank loans	0.17		%			0.14		%

See Note 8 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for loan categories as a percentage of total loans receivable.

The nonperforming loan balances in the preceding table exclude $8 million and $10 million as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, of residential TDRs which were returned to accrual status in accordance with our policy. Total nonperforming assets, including the nonperforming loans in the preceding table and other real estate acquired in the settlement of residential mortgages, amounted to $43 million and $32 million at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of Raymond James Bank’s total assets were 0.12% and 0.10% at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Although our nonperforming assets as a percentage of Raymond James Bank’s assets remained low as of June 30, 2021, prolonged or further market deterioration could result in an increase in our nonperforming assets, an increase in our allowance for credit losses and/or an increase in net charge-offs in future periods, although the extent will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain.

We have received requests from certain borrowers for forbearance, which is generally a short-term deferral of their loan payments, or modification of certain covenant terms, driven or exacerbated by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the amortized costs, approximately $34 million and $8 million of our corporate and residential loans, respectively, were in active forbearance as of June 30, 2021. As certain borrowers exit forbearance we have received requests for loan modifications, including repayment plans. In accordance with the CARES Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, we are not applying TDR classification to any COVID-19 related loan modifications performed from March 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021, to borrowers who were current as of December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2021, we had residential loans of $12 million for which the borrower had requested a loan modification, where the request had been initiated but not completed or approved. As the delinquency status is not affected for loans that are in active forbearance or for loan

87

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

modifications that have not yet been approved, the recognition of charge-offs, delinquencies, and nonaccrual status could be delayed for those borrowers who would have otherwise moved into past due or nonaccrual status. Forbearance and modification requests have continued to decline and the majority of the borrowers that have exited forbearance but have not requested loan modifications, have become current on their principal and interest payments.

Loan underwriting policies

Our underwriting policies for the major types of bank loans are described in “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Credit risk” of our 2020 Form 10-K. There were no material changes in our bank loan underwriting policies during the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Risk monitoring process

Another component of credit risk strategy for our bank loan portfolio is the ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all residential, SBL, corporate and tax-exempt credit exposures, as well as our rigorous processes to manage and limit credit losses arising from loan delinquencies. There are various other factors included in these processes, depending on the loan portfolio. There were no material changes to those processes and policies during the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Residential mortgage and SBL and other loan portfolios

The collateral securing our SBL and other portfolio is monitored on a recurring basis, with marketable collateral monitored on a daily basis. Collateral adjustments are made by the borrower as necessary to ensure our loans are adequately secured, resulting in minimizing its credit risk. Collateral calls have been minimal relative to our SBL and other portfolio with no losses incurred to date.

We track and review many factors to monitor credit risk in our residential mortgage loan portfolio. The factors include, but are not limited to: loan performance trends, loan product parameters and qualification requirements, borrower credit scores, level of documentation, loan purpose, geographic concentrations, average loan size, risk rating and LTV ratios. See Note 8 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

The following table presents a summary of delinquent residential mortgage loans, the vast majority of which are first mortgage loans, which are comprised of loans which are two or more payments past due as well as loans in the process of foreclosure. Amounts in the following table do not include residential loans to borrowers who were granted forbearance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and whose loans were not considered delinquent prior to the forbearance. Such loans may be considered delinquent after the forbearance period or completion of loss mitigation efforts, depending on their payment status. As a result, the amount of residential loans considered delinquent may increase significantly in the future.

	Amount of delinquent residential loans						Delinquent residential loans as a percentage of outstanding loan balances
$ in millions	30-89 days		90 days or more		Total		30-89 days		90 days or more		Total
June 30, 2021	$	5	$	6	$	11	0.10	%	0.12	%	0.22	%
September 30, 2020	$	3	$	7	$	10	0.06	%	0.14	%	0.20	%

Our June 30, 2021 percentage continues to compare favorably to the national average for over 30 day delinquencies of 2.92%, as most recently reported by the Fed.

Credit risk is also managed by diversifying the residential mortgage portfolio. Most of the loans in our residential loan portfolio are to PCG clients across the country. The following table details the geographic concentrations (top five states) of our one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.

	June 30, 2021
	Loans outstanding as a % of total residential mortgage loans	Loans outstanding as a % of total bank loans
CA	25.3%	5.4%
FL	17.5%	3.7%
TX	8.9%	1.9%
NY	7.5%	1.6%
CO	4.1%	0.9%

Loans where borrowers may be subject to payment increases include ARM 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

88

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

amortize.  At June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, these loans totaled $1.92 billion and $1.67 billion, respectively, or approximately 37% and 34% of the residential mortgage portfolio, respectively.  The weighted-average number of years before the remainder of the loans, which were still in their interest-only period at June 30, 2021, begins amortizing is 6 years.

Corporate and tax-exempt loans

Credit risk in our corporate and tax-exempt bank loan portfolios is monitored on an individual loan basis. The majority of our tax-exempt bank loan portfolio is comprised of loans to investment-grade borrowers.

Credit risk is managed by diversifying the corporate bank loan portfolio. Our corporate bank loan portfolio does not contain a significant concentration in any single industry. The following table details the industry concentrations (top five categories) of our corporate bank loans.

	June 30, 2021
	Loans outstanding as a % of total corporate bank loans	Loans outstanding as a % of total bank loans
Office real estate	7.7%	3.8%
Business systems and services	6.9%	3.4%
Automotive/transportation	6.3%	3.1%
Multi-family	6.1%	3.0%
Consumer products and services	5.8%	2.9%

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our corporate loan portfolio in fiscal 2020. Although we reduced our exposure and revised our credit limits related to sectors that we believe to be most vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the energy, airlines, entertainment and leisure, restaurant and gaming sectors, we may experience further losses on our remaining loans to borrowers in these sectors, particularly if economic conditions do not continue to improve in the future. In addition, we continue to monitor our exposure to office real estate, where trends have changed rapidly and possibly permanently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and may experience additional losses on loans in this sector in the future. We may also experience further losses on corporate loans in other industries as a direct or indirect result of the pandemic, including on our CRE loans secured by retail and hospitality properties.

Although we saw deterioration in oil prices for much of fiscal year 2020 due to the pandemic, oil prices continued to improve during the first nine months of fiscal year 2021 and have now surpassed pre-pandemic levels as of the end of the fiscal third quarter of 2021. Our energy portfolio has minimal direct commodity price exposure since it consists of loans to midstream distribution companies and convenience stores, with no loans to exploration and production enterprises. However, in the event of significant deterioration in oil prices in the future, our borrowers, and our loans to such borrowers, could be negatively impacted.

Liquidity risk

See the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and capital resources” of this Form 10-Q for information regarding our liquidity and how we manage liquidity risk.

Operational risk

Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from our operations, including, but not limited to, business disruptions, improper or unauthorized execution and processing of transactions, deficiencies in our technology or financial operating systems and inadequacies or breaches in our control processes, including cybersecurity incidents. See “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Operational risk” of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of our operational risk and certain of our risk mitigation processes.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we activated and successfully executed on our business continuity protocols and continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic under such protocols. We have endeavored to protect our associates and our clients and to ensure continuity of business operations for our clients. As a result, a substantial portion of our associates continue to work remotely. The firm continues to monitor conditions and has developed a phased approach to reopening our offices which complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and Centers for Disease Control guidelines. As of June 30, 2021, we had reopened most of our offices in a limited capacity and have been operating under strict public health and safety protocols in such locations. We continue to monitor reports from health officials and had hoped for a full return to office in September 2021, which would include more flexibility for our associates. However, the recent disruptions in the U.S. caused by the Delta variant may impact the timing of the implementation of these plans.

89

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Periods of severe market volatility, such as those that arose most notably in fiscal 2020 in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, can result in a significantly higher level of transactions on specific days and other activity which may present operational challenges from time to time that may result in losses. These losses can result from, but are not limited to, trade errors, failed transaction settlements, late collateral calls to borrowers and counterparties, or interruptions to our system processing. We did not incur any significant losses related to such operational challenges during the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Model risk

Model risk refers to the possibility of unintended business outcomes arising from the design, implementation or use of models. See “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Model risk” of our 2020 Form 10-K for information regarding how we utilize models throughout the firm and how we manage model risk.

Compliance risk

Compliance risk is the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, financial loss, or reputational damage that the firm may suffer from a failure to comply with applicable laws, external standards, or internal requirements. See “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Compliance risk” of our 2020 Form 10-K for information on our compliance risks, including how we manage such risks.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

See “Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management” of this Form 10-Q for our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
