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 for 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 22 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 (“2019 Form 10-K”) for the year ended September 30, 2019, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in Note 8 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 2019 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, 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 2019 Form 10-K. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, 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.

Recent accounting developments

Accounting guidance recently adopted

Lease accounting - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases (ASU 2016-02). The new guidance and subsequent amendments requires the recognition of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by lease agreements with terms greater than twelve months, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. We adopted this guidance as of October 1, 2019 using the alternative modified retrospective approach, with no adjustments to prior periods presented. In addition, we elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which, among other things, allowed us to carry forward historical lease classification determinations. On the adoption date, we recognized right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and lease liabilities of $333 million and $357 million, respectively, in “Other assets” and “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The ROU assets and lease liabilities were primarily related to operating leases. The adoption had no effect on our results of operations or cash flows. The impact of the adoption on our regulatory capital measures was insignificant. See Note 10 for further information.

Derivatives and hedging (interest rate) - In October 2018, the FASB issued guidance amending Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) to add the overnight index swap rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) to the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates that are eligible during the early stages of the market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to SOFR (ASU 2018-16). The amendments to this guidance will provide adequate lead time for entities to prepare for changes to interest rate hedging strategies. We adopted the guidance October 1, 2019 and will apply the guidance prospectively for qualifying new or re-designated hedging relationships. The adoption did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

Reference rate reform - In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as SOFR (ASU 2020-04). The guidance simplifies the accounting for modifying contracts (including those in hedging relationships) that refer to LIBOR and other interbank offered rates. In addition, the guidance allows for changes to the critical terms of a hedging relationship affected by reference rate reform without having to dedesignate the relationship. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We have elected certain expedients for cash flow hedges to assert that the hedged forecasted transaction remains probable, regardless of any expected modification in terms related to reference rate reform. The expedients elected did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

Accounting guidance not yet adopted as of June 30, 2020

Credit losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13). The amended 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 assets measured either collectively or individually to include historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, replacing the existing incurred credit loss model and other models with the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model.  The new guidance expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating credit losses and requires new disclosures of the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. This new guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 and will be adopted under a modified retrospective approach. Although permitted, we do not plan to early adopt. Our cross-functional team continues with the implementation efforts. We are in the process of validating our credit loss models and establishing formal procedures and control documentation related to this new guidance. In addition, we are finalizing required disclosures and policies. We continue to evaluate the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations. The impact will ultimately depend on, among other things, our methodologies, management judgments, current and expected macroeconomic conditions, and the nature and characteristics of financial assets held by us on the date of adoption.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)




Internal use software (cloud computing) - In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (ASU 2018-15). This guidance requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the non-cancelable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. This amended guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and may be adopted using either a prospective or retrospective approach. We plan to adopt this standard prospectively effective for annual periods beginning October 1, 2020. The impact of this amended guidance is dependent on implementation costs incurred subsequent to adoption.

Consolidation (decision making fees) - In October 2018, the FASB issued guidance on how all entities evaluate decision-making fees under the VIE guidance (ASU 2018-17). Under the new guidance, to determine whether decision-making fees represent a variable interest, an entity considers indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportionate basis, rather than in their entirety. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020. Although permitted, we do not plan to early adopt. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

The net unrealized losses on our Level 3 private equity investments for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily driven by the negative impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on certain of our investments.

As of June 30, 2020, 15% of our assets and 1% of our liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  In comparison, as of September 30, 2019, 12% of our assets and 2% of our liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3 represented 1% and 2%, respectively, of our assets measured at fair value.

Quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements

The following tables present 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.

Qualitative information about unobservable inputs

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

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)




Private equity investments

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 2019 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 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 industries 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.

The following table presents the recorded value and unfunded commitments related to our private equity investments portfolio.

September 30, 2019

Of the total private equity investments, the portions we owned were $81 million and $99 million as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The portions of the private equity investments we did not own were $22 million and $47 million as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and were included as a component of noncontrolling interests on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Many of these 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. 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. However, our current focus is on the divestiture of this portfolio.

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.

The contractual cash flows of our available-for-sale securities are guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. At June 30, 2020, of the 26 available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, all were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. At June 30, 2020, debt securities we held in excess of ten percent of our equity included Federal National Home Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) which had an amortized cost of $3.78 billion and $1.44 billion, respectively, and a fair value of $3.86 billion and $1.47 billion, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, we received proceeds of $222 million, resulting in an insignificant gain, from sales of available-for-sale securities. The gain from the sales was included in “Other” revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, there were no sales of available-for-sale securities.

NOTE 5 – 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 2019 Form 10-K.

(2) Although the matched book derivative arrangements do not meet the definition of a master netting arrangement as specified by GAAP, the agreement with the third-party intermediary includes terms that are similar to a master netting agreement. As a result, we present the matched book amounts net in the preceding table.

The following table details the gains/(losses) included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of income taxes, on derivatives designated as hedging instruments. These gains/(losses) included any amounts reclassified from AOCI to net income during the period. See Note 16 for additional information.

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 deposits or other marketable securities to support certain of these obligations as established by the credit threshold specified by the agreement and/or as a result of monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties.

Our only exposure to credit risk in the matched book derivatives operations is related to our uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues, which were insignificant as of both June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. We are not exposed to market risk on these derivatives due to the pass-through transaction structure described in Note 2 of our 2019 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.

Derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features

Certain of our derivative contracts contain provisions that require our debt to maintain an investment-grade rating from one or more of the major credit rating agencies. If our debt were to fall below investment-grade, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could terminate and request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing overnight collateralization on our derivative instruments in liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was insignificant as of both June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

NOTE 6 – COLLATERALIZED AGREEMENTS AND FINANCINGS

Collateralized agreements are securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse repurchase agreements”) and securities borrowed. Collateralized financings are securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) and securities loaned. We enter into these transactions in order to facilitate client activities, invest excess cash, 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 2019 Form 10-K.

For financial statement purposes, we do not offset our reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and securities lending transactions because the conditions for netting as specified by GAAP are not met. 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. Although not offset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, these transactions are included in the following table.

Total 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.

The following table presents financial instruments at fair value that we received as collateral, were not included on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and that were available to be delivered or repledged, along with the balances of such instruments that were delivered or repledged, to satisfy one of our purposes previously described.

NOTE 7 – BANK LOANS, NET

Bank client receivables are comprised of loans originated or purchased by RJ Bank and include commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, tax-exempt loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, securities-based loans (“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 or are unsecured. See Note 2 of our 2019 Form 10-K for a discussion of accounting policies related to bank loans and allowances for losses.

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

At June 30, 2020, the FHLB had a blanket lien on RJ Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio as security for the repayment of certain borrowings. See Note 12 for more information regarding borrowings from the FHLB.

Loans held for sale

RJ Bank originated or purchased $185 million and $1.33 billion of loans held for sale during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $522 million and $1.79 billion during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of these held for sale loans amounted to $130 million and $564 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $159 million and $516 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Net gains resulting from such sales were insignificant in all periods during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Credit quality indicators

The credit quality of RJ Bank’s loan portfolio is summarized monthly by management using the standard asset classification system utilized by bank regulators for the SBL and residential mortgage loan portfolios and internal risk ratings, which correspond to the same standard asset classifications for the corporate loan portfolios.  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 RJ Bank to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification.

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

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

Loss – Loans which are considered by management to be uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance on our books as an asset, without establishment of a specific valuation allowance or charge-off, is not warranted.  We do not have any bank 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.

NOTE 8 – 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 2019 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 2019 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.

NOTE 9 - GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

Our goodwill and identified intangible assets result from various acquisitions. See Notes 2 and 11 of our 2019 Form 10-K for 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 our January 1, 2020 evaluation date, evaluating balances as of December 31, 2019. We performed a qualitative impairment assessment for each of our reporting units that had goodwill, as well as for our indefinite-lived intangible asset.  Based upon the outcome of our qualitative assessments, no impairment was identified.

Our qualitative assessments consider macroeconomic indicators, such as trends in equity and fixed income markets, gross domestic product, unemployment rates, interest rates, housing markets and trade policy. 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.

Subsequent to our annual impairment testing, as a result of a deterioration in market conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed an evaluation to determine whether the economic impacts resulting from the pandemic were indicators requiring us to perform an impairment test as of June 30, 2020. Multiple factors, including performance, macroeconomic, and fair value indicators, were assessed with respect to each of our reporting units to determine whether it was more likely than not that the estimated fair value of any of these reporting units was less than its estimated carrying value. As a result of our review, we concluded that the fair value of our reporting units had not more likely than not been reduced below their respective carrying values and that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through the end of our fiscal third quarter of 2020 was not a triggering event to perform a quantitative test. We will continue to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including market declines, unfavorable economic conditions, declining financial performance, and other factors that could increase the risk of impairment of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset in future periods.


NOTE 10 – LEASES

We have operating leases for the premises we occupy in many of our U.S. and foreign locations, including our employee-based branch office operations. We also lease certain office and technology equipment. At inception, we determine if an arrangement to utilize a building or piece of equipment is a lease and, if so, the appropriate lease classification. If the arrangement is determined to be a lease, we recognize a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability on our balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We have elected the practical expedient, where leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded as an ROU asset or lease liability. Our lease terms include any noncancelable periods and may reflect periods covered by options to extend or terminate when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term for our operating leases was five years.

We record our operating lease ROU assets at the amount of the lease liability plus any prepaid rent and initial direct costs, less any lease incentives and accrued rent. We record lease liabilities at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which is discounted using our commencement date incremental borrowing rate. Our incremental borrowing rate considers the weighted-average yields on our senior notes payable, adjusted for collateralization and tenor. As of June 30, 2020, the
30

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)




weighted-average discount rate for our operating leases was 3.84%. Payments that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date are considered variable and are expensed in the period incurred. For our real estate leases, we elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease. We have not elected the practical expedient for our equipment leases and account for lease and non-lease components separately. As of June 30, 2020, ROU assets of $326 million and lease liabilities of $351 million were included as components of “Other assets” and “Other payables,” respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Lease expense

Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term if the ROU asset has not been impaired or abandoned.

FHLB advances

Borrowings from the FHLB as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, were comprised of both floating and fixed-rate advances. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the floating-rate advances totaled $850 million. The interest rates on the floating-rate advances, which mature in December 2022, reset quarterly and are generally based on LIBOR. We use interest rate swaps to manage the risk of increases in interest rates associated with these floating-rate advances by converting the balances subject to variable interest rates to a fixed interest rate. Refer to Note 2 of our 2019 Form 10-K for information regarding these interest rate swaps, which are accounted for as hedging instruments. As of both June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the fixed-rate advance totaled $25 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.4%. This advance matures in October 2020. All of the advances were secured by a blanket lien granted to the FHLB on our residential mortgage loan portfolio. The weighted-average interest rate on these FHLB advances as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was 0.50% and 2.17%, respectively.

Secured and unsecured financing arrangements

On February 19, 2019, RJF and RJ&A entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 2024 and the lenders include a number of financial institutions. This committed unsecured borrowing facility 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 of RJF. The interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility are variable and based on LIBOR, as adjusted for RJF’s credit rating. There were no borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020. There is a facility fee associated with the Credit Facility, which also varies with RJF’s credit rating. Based upon RJF’s credit rating as of June 30, 2020, the variable rate facility fee, which is applied to the committed amount, was 0.175% per annum.

In addition to the Credit Facility, we maintain various secured and unsecured lines of credit, which are generally utilized to finance certain fixed income securities or for cash management purposes. Borrowings during the period were generally day-to-day and there were no borrowings outstanding on these arrangements as of June 30, 2020. The interest rates for these arrangements are variable and are based on the Fed Funds rate, LIBOR, a lenders prime rate, or the Canadian prime rate, as applicable.

We also have other collateralized financings included in “Securities sold under agreements to repurchase” and “Securities loaned” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 6 for information regarding our other collateralized financing arrangements.

Mortgage notes payable and other

Mortgage notes payable pertain to mortgage loans on certain of our corporate headquarters offices located in St. Petersburg, Florida. These mortgage loans are secured by land, buildings, and improvements.  These mortgage loans bear a fixed interest rate of 5.7% with repayment terms of monthly interest and principal debt service and have a January 2023 maturity.

In March 2012, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due April 2024. 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 50 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

In July 2016, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior notes due September 2026. 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 35 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

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 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.


NOTE 14 – 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 pretax 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 2019 Form 10-K.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)




Effective tax rate

Our effective income tax rate was 23.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, which was lower than the 24.8% effective tax rate for fiscal year 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to the prior year effective tax rate was primarily due to the favorable impact of permanent tax benefits on lower pre-tax earnings during the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Uncertain tax positions

We anticipate that the uncertain tax position liability balance will not change significantly over the next twelve months.


NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

Commitments and contingencies

Loan and underwriting commitments

In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments for debt and equity underwritings. As of June 30, 2020, we had 11 such open underwriting commitments, which were subsequently settled in open market transactions and none of which resulted in a significant loss.

We offer loans to prospective financial advisors and certain key revenue producers primarily for recruiting, transitional cost assistance, and retention purposes (see Note 2 of our 2019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our accounting policies governing these transactions). These offers are contingent upon certain events occurring, including the individuals joining us and meeting certain conditions outlined in their offer. Our unfunded loan commitments related to such offers were insignificant as of June 30, 2020.

Commitments to extend credit and other credit-related financial instruments

RJ Bank has outstanding, at any time, a significant number of commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments such as standby letters of credit and loan purchases, which then extend over varying periods of time. These arrangements are subject to strict underwriting assessments and each customer’s credit worthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Fixed-rate commitments are also 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 RJ Bank’s commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments outstanding.
$ in millionsJune 30, 2020September 30, 2019
Open-end consumer lines of credit (primarily SBL)
$11,397  $9,328  
Commercial lines of credit
$1,373  $1,527  
Unfunded loan commitments
$592  $599  
Standby letters of credit
$30  $40  

Open-end consumer lines of credit primarily represent the unfunded amounts of RJ 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 our lending commitments expire without being funded in whole or part, the contractual amounts are not estimates of our actual future credit exposure or future liquidity requirements. We maintain a reserve to provide for potential losses related to the unfunded lending commitments. See Note 7 for further discussion of this reserve for 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.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Investment commitments

We had unfunded commitments to various investments, including private equity investments and certain RJ Bank investments, of $38 million as of June 30, 2020.

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, 2020, RJTCF had committed approximately $130 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 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 the discussion of these activities within Note 2 of our 2019 Form 10-K).  At June 30, 2020, we had $426 million 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, 2020, the fair value of the TBA securities and the estimated fair value of the purchase commitments were insignificant.

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 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, 2020. The debt, which matures in 2022, is secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrower.

Legal and regulatory matter contingencies

In addition to any matters that may be specifically described in the following sections, 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 has increased significantly in the financial services industry. 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.

36

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)




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 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, 2020, we estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible aggregate loss to be approximately $125 million in excess of the aggregate accruals for such matters.  Refer to Note 2 of our 2019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our criteria for recognizing liabilities for contingencies.

We may from time to time include in any descriptions of individual matters herein certain quantitative information about the plaintiff’s claim against us as alleged in the plaintiff’s pleadings or other public filings. Although this information may provide insight into the potential magnitude of a matter, it does not represent our estimate of reasonably possible loss or our judgment as to any currently appropriate accrual related thereto.

As of October 1, 2018, we adopted accounting guidance (ASU 2016-01) that generally requires changes in the fair value of equity securities to be recorded in net income. Accordingly, as of the date of adoption, we reclassified a cumulative unrealized gain on such securities, net of tax, from AOCI to retained earnings.

Reclassifications from AOCI to net income, excluding taxes, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were recorded in “Interest expense” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Our net investment hedges and cash flow hedges relate to our derivatives associated with RJ Bank’s business operations. See Note 2 of our 2019 Form 10-K and Note 5 for additional information on these derivatives.

NOTE 19 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We have one share-based compensation plan for our employees, Board of Directors and non-employees (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 the fiscal first quarter of each year.  Our share-based compensation accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our 2019 Form 10-K.  Other information related to our share-based awards is presented in Note 21 of our 2019 Form 10-K.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, we granted approximately 100 thousand and 1.7 million RSUs, respectively, to employees and outside members of our Board of Directors with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $64.98 and $87.76, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, total compensation expense for RSUs granted to our employees and members of our Board of Directors was $22 million and $89 million, respectively, compared with $20 million and $81 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020, there were $196 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, 2020. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years.

NOTE 20 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

RJF, as a bank holding company and financial holding company, RJ Bank, our broker-dealer subsidiaries and Raymond James Trust, N.A. (“RJ Trust”) 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.

As a bank holding company, RJF is subject to the risk-based capital requirements of the Fed. These risk-based capital requirements are expressed as capital ratios that compare measures of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets, which involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory guidelines. RJF’s and RJ Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

RJF and RJ Bank are required to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined), and under rules defined under the Basel III capital framework, Common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets. RJF and RJ Bank each calculate these ratios under the Basel III standardized approach 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, 2020, both RJF’s and RJ 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 2019 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.

Tier 1 leverage$5,971  15.7 %$1,525  4.0 %$1,906  5.0 %

As of June 30, 2020, RJF’s Tier 1 capital ratio was unchanged and our Total capital ratio increased slightly compared to September 30, 2019, due to positive earnings, net of share repurchases and dividends, offset by the impacts of an increase in cash and cash equivalents segregated pursuant to regulations and growth in available-for-sale securities held at RJ Bank. RJF’s Tier 1 leverage ratio at June 30, 2020 decreased compared to September 30, 2019, due to the growth of average assets, primarily related to cash, cash and cash equivalents segregated pursuant to regulations and available-for-sale securities held at RJ Bank, partially offset by the aforementioned change in equity.

RJ Bank’s Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios at June 30, 2020 decreased compared to September 30, 2019, due to dividends paid during the period exceeding earnings and growth in assets, primarily available-for-sale securities. RJ Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio at June 30, 2020 decreased compared to September 30, 2019, due to the growth in average assets, primarily related to cash, available-for-sale securities and bank loans, as well as the aforementioned change in equity.

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.

The allocation of earnings and dividends to participating securities in the preceding table represents dividends paid during the period to participating securities plus an allocation of undistributed earnings to participating securities.  Participating securities represent unvested restricted stock and certain RSUs. Participating securities and related dividends paid on these participating securities were insignificant for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.  Undistributed earnings are allocated to participating securities based upon their right to share in earnings if all earnings for the period had been distributed.

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), industry or market conditions, demand for and pricing of our products, acquisitions and divestitures, anticipated results of litigation, our effective tax rate, regulatory developments, effects of accounting pronouncements, and general economic conditions.  In addition, words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” 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, 2020 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2019

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and the United States declared a national emergency due to the impact of the pandemic. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, governments and other authorities around the world imposed measures intended to control the spread of the disease, including restrictions on travel and the conduct of business, such as stay-at-home orders, quarantines, travel bans, border closings, business closures and other similar measures. In response, we activated our business continuity plan endeavoring to safeguard our associates, and nearly all of our associates transitioned to working remotely, while still maintaining our standard of client service. Although economies began to reopen during our fiscal third quarter, a substantial portion of our associates continued to work remotely. Our systems and infrastructure have continued to support increased volumes of activity without any significant operational or technology disruptions.

The economic uncertainty that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic continued during our fiscal third quarter and market volatility remained elevated; however, market sentiment improved, reflected in the recovery of U.S. equity markets during the quarter. Certain of our businesses benefited from the equity market appreciation, and PCG assets in fee-based accounts recovered, increasing 16%, which will have a positive impact on our fiscal fourth quarter results. However, our results continued to be negatively affected by the significant reduction in interest rates implemented by The Federal Reserve toward the end of our fiscal second quarter and an elevated bank loan loss provision due to the economic impact and uncertainty attributable to the pandemic. Uncertainty remains with regard to the extent and duration of the disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as its continuing impacts on the global economy. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to prevent its spread and to support the economy to continue to have an impact on our business during the remainder of fiscal 2020, although the extent of such effects will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, net revenues of $1.83 billion decreased $93 million, or 5%, compared with the prior-year quarter. Pre-tax income of $198 million decreased $144 million, or 42%, and net income of $172 million decreased $87 million, or 34%, both primarily due to a significant increase in the bank loan loss provision in response to the economic deterioration caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our earnings per diluted share were $1.23, reflecting a 32% decrease. Our annualized return on equity (“ROE”) for the quarter was 10.0%, compared with 16.1% in the prior-year quarter, and our annualized return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) (1) was 10.9%, compared with 17.8% for the prior-year quarter.

The $93 million decrease in net revenues compared with the prior-year quarter primarily reflected the impact of lower short-term interest rates on both net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks. These declines were partially offset by an increase in brokerage revenues, as the fixed income business generated strong results due to higher client activity levels.

Compensation, commissions and benefits expenses were flat versus the prior-year quarter. Non-compensation expenses increased $51 million, or 17%, due to an $86 million increase in the bank loan loss provision, which was $81 million in the current-year quarter compared with a $5 million benefit in the prior-year quarter, partially offset by a decrease in business development expenses, as travel and conferences were halted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our effective income tax rate of 13.1% for our fiscal third quarter of 2020 primarily reflected the impact of significant non-taxable gains on our corporate-owned life insurance portfolio on lower pre-tax earnings for the quarter.

The firm ended the quarter with capital ratios well in excess of regulatory requirements and substantial liquidity, with over $2.1 billion (2) of cash at the parent company, which included the proceeds of a $500 million 10-year senior notes issuance at the end of our fiscal second quarter of 2020.

Certain of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will likely continue to affect our results in future quarters. Our net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks will continue to be negatively affected by the 225 basis point reduction by the Federal Reserve of its benchmark short-term interest rate since August 2019. In Capital Markets, the high degree of market uncertainty will likely result in more volatility of both brokerage revenues and investment banking revenues during the pandemic. While our results during the third quarter were negatively impacted by elevated bank loan loss provisions, including losses on certain corporate loans that were sold during the quarter, further market deterioration could result in additional provisions in future quarters. Due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and related negative impact on our results, we are evaluating ways to reduce costs and find efficiencies to remain well-positioned for future growth and success. To that end, we are currently engaged in a firm-wide process of evaluating both compensation and non-compensation expenses.

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

Our PCG segment net revenues of $1.25 billion decreased 8%, while pre-tax income of $91 million decreased 35%.  The $102 million decrease in net revenues was primarily attributable to the decrease in short-term interest rates, which negatively impacted both net interest income and RJBDP fees from third party banks. Brokerage revenues also declined compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily due to a decline in revenues from annuity products and mutual fund products. Non-interest expenses decreased $53 million, or 4%, primarily resulting from a decrease in travel and conference-related expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as lower compensation expenses due to a decrease in compensable net revenues, which primarily include asset management and related administrative fees, brokerage revenues and investment banking revenues.

Capital Markets net revenues of $323 million increased 29% and pre-tax income of $62 million increased 158%. The $72 million increase in net revenues was primarily due to an increase in fixed income and, to a lesser extent, equity brokerage revenues due to higher client activity, as well as an increase in debt and equity underwriting revenues. These increases were partially offset by a decline in merger & acquisition revenues compared with the prior-year quarter due to market uncertainty. Non-interest expenses increased $34 million, or 15%, due to an increase in compensation expense, primarily as a result of the increase in net revenues.

Our Asset Management segment net revenues of $163 million decreased 8% and pre-tax income of $60 million decreased 8%. The decrease in net revenues was largely driven by lower average financial assets under management at Carillon Tower Advisers.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

RJ Bank net revenues of $178 million decreased 17% and pre-tax income of $14 million decreased 90%. Net revenues decreased $37 million due to the negative impact from lower short-term interest rates, partially offset by the benefit from higher interest-earning assets. Non-interest expenses increased $87 million, or 113%, as RJ Bank recorded a loan loss provision of $81 million compared to a benefit of $5 million in the prior-year quarter.

Our Other segment reflected a pre-tax loss that was $4 million larger compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily the result of lower interest income on corporate cash balances due to the negative impact of lower short-term interest rates, as well as increased interest expense due to the issuance of $500 million of senior notes at the end of the fiscal second quarter.

Nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues of $5.91 billion increased $194 million, or 3%. Pre-tax income of $796 million decreased $225 million, or 22%. Our net income of $609 million decreased $160 million, or 21%, and our earnings per diluted share were $4.33, reflecting an 18% decrease. Our annualized ROE during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was 11.9%, compared with 16.2% for the prior-year period, and annualized ROTCE (1) was 13.1%, compared with 17.9% for the prior-year period.

The $194 million increase in net revenues compared with the prior-year period included higher asset management and related administrative fees, primarily attributable to higher average PCG assets in fee-based accounts at the beginning of the current-year periods and higher brokerage revenues, largely due to higher market volatility and a significant increase in institutional fixed income client activity in the current-year period. Offsetting these increases were the negative impacts of lower short-term interest rates on our net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks, and valuation losses on private equity investments, a portion of which was attributable to noncontrolling interests (reflected as an offset in other expenses).

Compensation, commissions and benefits expense increased $283 million, or 8%, mostly due to an increase in compensable net revenues.

Non-compensation expenses increased $136 million, or 15%, due to a $188 million bank loan loss provision, compared with a $16 million bank loan loss provision during the prior-year period. This increase was partially offset by lower travel and conference-related expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the aforementioned private equity valuation losses attributable to noncontrolling interests, which is an offset in other expenses.

Our effective income tax rate was 23.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease compared with the 24.8% effective tax rate for fiscal year 2019, primarily due to the favorable impact of permanent tax benefits on lower pre-tax earnings during the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Pursuant to our Board of Directors’ share repurchase authorization, we repurchased approximately 2.7 million shares of common stock during the first six months of our current fiscal year for $213 million at an average price of approximately $80 per share. Due to heightened market uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, share buybacks were suspended from mid-March through the end of our fiscal third quarter. As of June 30, 2020, we had $537 million of availability remaining under the previously-announced authorization. We resumed share repurchases to offset dilution in our fiscal fourth quarter.

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

PCG segment net revenues of $4.16 billion increased 5%, while pre-tax income of $414 million decreased 5%. The $180 million increase in net revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in asset management and related administrative fees due to higher average assets in fee-based accounts at the beginning of each of the current-year periods. Offsetting this increase were decreases in RJBDP fees from third-party banks and net interest income due to lower short-term interest rates. Non-interest expenses increased $202 million, or 6%, primarily resulting from an increase in compensation expenses largely due to the growth in compensable net revenues.

Capital Markets net revenues of $881 million increased 13% and pre-tax income of $119 million increased 55%. The $100 million increase in net revenues was primarily due to an increase in fixed income brokerage revenues, due to higher client activity, as well as increases in equity and debt underwriting revenues. These increases were partially offset by a decline in merger & acquisition and advisory revenues, which were negatively impacted by the market uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Non-interest expenses increased $58 million, or 8%, due to higher compensation expenses, primarily as a result of the increase in revenues.

(1) “ROTCE” is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the “Reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP financial measures” in this MD&A for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and for other important disclosures.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Our Asset Management segment net revenues of $531 million increased 4% and pre-tax income of $206 million increased 12%. The increase in net revenues was driven by higher average beginning-of-quarter assets in programs offered to PCG clients for which the segment provides administrative support, as well as higher average financial assets under management during the current-year period.

RJ Bank net revenues of $604 million decreased 4% and pre-tax income of $163 million decreased 58%. The $26 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 increased $195 million, or 79%, primarily due to a $172 million increase in the loan loss provision.

Our Other segment reflected a pre-tax loss that was $46 million larger compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to private equity valuation losses, as compared to gains in the prior-year period, lower interest income on corporate cash balances due to lower short-term interest rates, and increased interest expense, due to the issuance of $500 million of senior notes at the end of the fiscal second quarter.

SEGMENTS

We currently operate through five segments. Our business segments are PCG, Capital Markets, Asset Management and RJ Bank. Our Other segment includes our private equity investments, interest income on certain corporate cash balances, and certain corporate overhead costs of RJF, including the interest costs on our public debt.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP MEASURES TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We utilize certain non-GAAP financial measures to aid in, and enhance, the understanding of our financial results and related measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have been separately identified in this document. We believe that annualized return on tangible common equity is meaningful to investors as this measure facilitates comparison of our results to the results of other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for the periods indicated.

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

Average equity for the quarter-to-date period 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. Average equity for the year-to-date period 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.

NET INTEREST ANALYSIS

In response to macroeconomic concerns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, The Federal Reserve decreased its benchmark short-term interest rate twice in March 2020 to a range of 0-0.25%, for a total decrease of 150 basis points. These decreases in short-term interest rates, as well as the three rate cuts implemented in 2019 (225 basis points in total) have had a negative impact on our fiscal year 2020 results, as we have certain assets and liabilities, primarily held in our PCG, RJ Bank and Other segments, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Fees we earn from third-party banks on client cash balances swept to such banks as part of the RJBDP are also sensitive to changes in interest rates. The negative impact of the decline in short-term interest rates outweighed the growth in interest-earning assets and RJBDP balances swept to third-party banks compared with the prior year, and we expect a continuation of this negative impact for the remainder of fiscal 2020.

Given the relationship between our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities held in each of these 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 our 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 the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Results of Operations” of our PCG, RJ 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.

The following tables present our consolidated average balances, interest income and expense and the related yields and rates. Average balances are calculated on a daily basis, with the exception of Loans to financial advisors, net and Corporate cash and all other, which are calculated based on the average of the end-of-month balances for each month within the period.

(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 participates 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 due to the net addition of financial advisors and equity market appreciation. In addition, PCG assets in fee-based accounts continued to increase as a percentage of overall PCG assets under administration due to clients’ 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.

Although the number of financial advisors increased from prior periods, the net addition of financial advisors was low relative to recent quarters as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted experienced financial advisor transitions, particularly in the employee channel due to office closures, and slowed the transitions of new trainees. While financial advisor recruiting activity has started to recover and the pipeline remains solid, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future recruiting is uncertain.

Average yield on RJBDP - third-party banks
0.33 %1.95 %0.97 %1.90 %

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 RJ 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 RJ Bank, which are based on the number of accounts that are swept to RJ Bank. The fees from RJ Bank are eliminated in consolidation.

RJBDP fees from third-party banks and the average yield on RJBDP (third-party banks) were negatively impacted by the significant decrease in short-term interest rates. The Federal Reserve decreased its benchmark short-term interest rate twice toward the end of our fiscal second quarter, to a range of 0-0.25%, a total decrease of 150 basis points. These decreases were in addition to the three rate cuts implemented during 2019 (225 basis points in total). Any additional decreases in short-term interest rates, increases in deposit rates paid to clients, and/or a significant decline in our clients’ cash balances will have a negative impact on our earnings. Further, PCG segment results are impacted by changes in the allocation of client cash balances in the RJBDP between RJ Bank and third-party banks.

Although lower compared with March 31, 2020, client cash balances remained elevated as of June 30, 2020 as a result of the market uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues of $1.25 billion decreased $102 million, or 8%, and pre-tax income of $91 million decreased $49 million, or 35%.

Asset management and related administrative fees were largely unchanged, as assets in fee-based accounts at the beginning of the quarter were relatively flat compared with the beginning of the prior-year quarter. As assets in fee-based accounts are billed primarily on balances at the beginning of the quarter, the 16% increase in fee-based assets during the current quarter will positively impact asset management fees in our fiscal fourth quarter.

Brokerage revenues decreased $27 million, or 8%, reflecting lower revenues from annuity products and lower mutual fund revenues. Offsetting these decreases was an increase in revenues from equities, ETFs, and fixed income products due to an increase in client activity.

Account and service fees decreased $51 million, or 22%, due to the decline in RJBDP fees from third-party banks, driven by lower short-term interest rates compared with the prior-year quarter, which more than offset the impact of the significant increase in cash balances swept to such banks.

Net interest income decreased $19 million, or 41%, driven by a decline in short-term interest rates, reducing the interest income earned on assets segregated pursuant to regulations and client margin loans, and a decline in average client margin loan balances. Partially offsetting the decrease in interest income, interest expense also decreased due to the impact of lower deposit rates paid on client cash balances in CIP.

59

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Compensation-related expenses decreased $24 million, or 2%, due to lower compensable net revenues. Compensation-related expenses did not decrease at the same rate as net revenues, as a significant portion of the decline in net revenues related to net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks, which have no associated direct payout expense.

Non-compensation expenses decreased $29 million, or 17%, primarily as a result of decreases in travel and conference-related expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as lower legal and regulatory reserves. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in communications and information processing expense.

Nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues of $4.16 billion increased $180 million, or 5%, and pre-tax income of $414 million decreased $22 million, or 5%.

Asset management and related administrative fees increased $267 million, or 13%, primarily due to higher average assets in fee-based accounts at the beginning of each of the current-year quarterly billing periods compared with the prior-year periods.

Brokerage revenues were flat as the impact of increased trading activity resulting from higher levels of market volatility in the current-year period, was offset by a decrease in mutual fund trails and lower revenues from annuity products.

Account and service fees decreased $61 million, or 9%, driven by a decline in RJBDP fees from third-party banks, as a result of lower short-term interest rates, which more than offset the impact of the increase in cash balances swept to such banks. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in mutual fund service fees, and higher RJBDP fees from RJ Bank due to an increase in the number of accounts at RJ Bank.

Net interest income decreased $33 million, or 24%, primarily driven by a decline in short-term interest rates, reducing the interest income earned on assets segregated pursuant to regulations and client margin loans. Partially offsetting the decrease in interest income, interest expense also decreased due to the impact of lower deposit rates paid on client cash balances in CIP.

Compensation-related expenses increased $224 million, or 7%, primarily due to higher compensable net revenues.

Non-compensation expenses decreased $22 million, or 5%, primarily as a result of decreases in conference and travel-related expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as lower legal reserves. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in costs to support our growth.

Quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues of $323 million increased $72 million, or 29%, and pre-tax income of $62 million increased $38 million, or 158%.

Brokerage revenues increased $62 million, or 60%, due to an increase in fixed income and, to a lesser extent, equity brokerage revenues. The increase in brokerage revenues reflected an increase in client activity during the current-year quarter. Our trading inventory levels remain relatively low due to our risk mitigation efforts.

Investment banking revenues increased $3 million, or 2%, due to an increase in both debt and equity underwriting revenues, as a result of increased market activity, particularly for debt underwritings. Offsetting the increase in underwriting revenues was a decline in the number of merger & acquisition transactions compared with the prior-year quarter due to market uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Merger & acquisition and underwriting activity may be negatively impacted in future quarters if market uncertainty continues.

Compensation-related expenses increased $35 million, or 22%, primarily due to the increase in revenues.

61

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Non-compensation expenses decreased $1 million, or 1%, as lower business development costs as a result of less travel and conference-related expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic were partially offset by smaller increases across various expense categories.

Nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues of $881 million increased $100 million, or 13%, and pre-tax income of $119 million increased $42 million, or 55%.

Brokerage revenues increased $105 million, or 34%, due to a significant increase in fixed income brokerage revenues, as well as an increase in equity brokerage revenues. The increase in fixed income brokerage revenues was primarily due to an increase in client activity during the current-year period, particularly toward the end of our fiscal second quarter and into our fiscal third quarter. Equity brokerage revenues were challenged earlier in the year, but increased during our fiscal second and third quarters due to strong client activity driven by market volatility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investment banking revenues decreased $15 million, or 4%, due to a significant decline in merger & acquisition activity compared with a strong period-year period. This activity was negatively impacted by the uncertainty caused by COVID-19 during the current-year period. Offsetting the decrease was an increase in both equity and debt underwriting net revenues, with an increase in the number of deals, as well as larger individual transactions.

Compensation-related expenses increased $59 million, or 12%, primarily due to the increase in revenues.

Non-compensation expenses were unchanged compared with the prior-year period, as increases in professional fees and other expenses were offset by a loss in the prior-year period of $15 million associated with the sale of our operations related to research, sales and trading of European equities.

Selected key metrics

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, including 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 are generally collected quarterly. Approximately 60% of these fees are based on balances as of the beginning of the quarter, approximately 15% are based on balances as of the end of the quarter, and approximately 25% are based on average daily balances throughout the quarter.

The preceding table includes assets held in certain non-discretionary asset-based programs for which the Asset Management segment does not exercise discretion but provides administrative support (including for affiliated entities). The increase in assets over the prior-year level was primarily due to clients moving to fee-based accounts from transaction-based accounts, successful financial advisor recruiting and retention, and equity market appreciation. The increase in assets during our fiscal third quarter was primarily due to the recovery of equity markets from the decline in the fiscal second quarter caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As administrative fees associated with these programs are predominantly based on balances at the beginning of the quarter, the 17% increase in assets during the fiscal third quarter will positively impact our fiscal fourth quarter revenues.

Net revenues of $163 million decreased $14 million, or 8%, and pre-tax income of $60 million decreased $5 million, or 8%.

Asset management and related administrative fee revenues decreased $8 million, or 5%, primarily due to lower average financial assets under management at Carillon Tower Advisers, largely as a result of net outflows since the prior-year quarter, as well as the significant equity market decline in March 2020, which has since largely rebounded. Although AMS financial assets under management were higher than at the end of the prior-year quarter, revenues decreased as assets in these programs are billed based on balances as of the beginning of the quarter, which reflected the significant equity market decline in our fiscal second quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in these assets as of June 30, 2020, primarily due to the market recovery in our fiscal third quarter, will positively affect our fiscal fourth quarter results.

Account and service fees declined $5 million, or 63%, primarily due to a decline in servicing fees related to the money market sweep program, which was discontinued in June 2019. A significant portion of these revenues were offset by fees paid to PCG related to the money market sweep program, which were reflected in Other expenses and eliminated in consolidation.

Compensation expenses decreased $3 million, or 6%, and non-compensation expenses decreased $6 million, or 9%. The decrease in non-compensation expenses was primarily due to a decline in travel-related expenses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and a decline in fees paid to PCG related to the aforementioned discontinuance of the money market sweep program.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues of $531 million increased $18 million, or 4%, and pre-tax income of $206 million increased $22 million, or 12%.

Asset management and related administrative fees increased $35 million, or 7%, driven by higher assets in non-discretionary asset-based programs at the beginning of each of the current-year quarterly billing periods compared with the prior-year period, as well as higher average financial assets under management during the current-year period.

Account and service fees declined $15 million, or 56%, primarily due to a decline in servicing fees related to the money market sweep program, which was discontinued in June 2019.

Non-compensation expenses decreased $3 million, or 2%, primarily due to the aforementioned decline in fees paid to PCG associated with the money market sweep program, which was discontinued in June 2019, and lower travel-related expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in investment sub-advisory fees resulting from an increase in assets under management in sub-advised programs.

Quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues of $178 million decreased $37 million, or 17%, and pre-tax income of $14 million decreased $124 million, or 90%.

Net interest income decreased $39 million, or 19%, as the negative impact from lower short-term rates offset the higher interest-earning assets. The increase in average interest-earning assets was driven by growth in average cash balances of $1.99 billion, average available-for-sale securities portfolio of $1.54 billion, and average loans of $1.38 billion. The net interest margin decreased to 2.29% from 3.37% due to the significant decline in short-term interest rates and the corresponding decline in LIBOR, the rate on which the pricing for most of RJ Bank’s assets is based. Based on current LIBOR rates, we expect our net interest margin to further decline to 2.1% - 2.2% over the next two quarters.

The loan loss provision was $81 million compared to a $5 million benefit in the prior-year quarter. The increase in the provision in the current-year quarter was in response to continued deterioration of macroeconomic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and included write-downs on certain corporate loans sold during the quarter. Continued deterioration of macroeconomic conditions will likely require us to increase our allowance for loan losses in the future or to experience loan losses in excess of

current reserves. Additional sales of certain corporate loans are also expected in the fiscal fourth quarter to further reduce credit risk in certain sectors.

Compensation expenses were flat compared with the prior-year quarter, while non-compensation expenses (excluding the provision for loan losses) increased $1 million.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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 year’s volume. Changes attributable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

Nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2019

Net revenues of $604 million decreased $26 million, or 4%, and pre-tax income of $163 million decreased $221 million, or 58%.

Net interest income decreased $26 million, or 4%, as the negative impact from lower short-term interest rates more than offset higher interest-earning assets. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily driven by growth in average loans of $1.38 billion, average cash balances of $847 million, and an $823 million increase in our average available-for-sale securities portfolio. The net interest margin for the current-year period decreased to 2.82% from 3.32% for the prior-year period.

The loan loss provision was $188 million, compared to $16 million in the prior-year period. The increase in the provision in the current-year period was primarily attributable to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during the current-year period as well as the aforementioned corporate loan sales.

Compensation and benefits expenses increased $2 million due to annual raises and increased staffing levels to support our continued growth.

Non-compensation expenses (excluding the provision for loan losses) increased $21 million, including an $11 million, or 9%, increase in fees for RJBDP paid to PCG, primarily driven by an increase in the number of accounts. These fees are eliminated in consolidation.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2019

The pre-tax loss of $29 million was $4 million larger than the loss generated in the prior-year quarter.

Net revenues for the current quarter decreased $16 million due to a $9 million decrease in interest income earned on corporate cash balances due to lower short-term interest rates, which more than offset the increase in average balances, as well as a $7 million increase in interest expense due to the issuance of $500 million of senior notes in March 2020.

Non-interest expenses decreased $12 million, or 57%, primarily due to a decrease in compensation expenses due to lower earnings.

Nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2019

The pre-tax loss of $106 million was $46 million larger than the loss generated in the prior-year period.

Net revenues decreased $70 million from a loss of $2 million in the prior-year period to a loss of $72 million, primarily due to $40 million of private equity valuation losses, compared with gains of $8 million in the prior-year period. In the current-year period, $23 million of the losses on private equity investments were attributable to noncontrolling interests, which are reflected as an offset within other expenses. These valuation losses were primarily the result of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain of our investments. Interest income earned on corporate cash balances also decreased due to lower short-term interest rates, partially offset by the impact of higher average balances, and interest expense increased as a result of the aforementioned issuance of $500 million of senior notes.

Non-interest expenses decreased $24 million, or 41%, primarily due to the aforementioned $23 million offset of private equity valuation losses attributable to noncontrolling interests.

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.

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.

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 and cash flow, risk, and impact on 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, repurchase agreement transactions or additional capital raising activities under our “universal” shelf registration statement.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.68 billion to $5.63 billion during the nine months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to $3.26 billion of cash provided by financing activities and $2.66 billion of cash provided by operating activities, offset by cash used in investing activities of $3.02 billion and an increase in the amount of cash required to be segregated pursuant to regulations of $1.19 billion. Cash provided by financing activities primarily related to an increase in bank deposits, as client cash balances increased due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and proceeds from our senior notes issuance in March 2020, partially offset by our open-market share repurchases and dividends on our common stock. Cash used in investing activities primarily related to a net increase in our available-for-sale securities portfolio due to our growth strategy for this portfolio, and a net increase in bank loans.

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

Over $2.1 billion of our total June 30, 2020 cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand at the parent, as well as parent cash loaned to RJ&A. The following table presents our holdings of cash and cash equivalents.

RJF maintained depository accounts at RJ Bank with a balance of $185 million as of June 30, 2020. The portion of this total that was available on demand without restrictions, which amounted to $108 million as of June 30, 2020, is reflected in the RJF total (and is excluded from the RJ Bank cash balance in the preceding table).

RJF had loaned $1.66 billion to RJ&A as of June 30, 2020 (such amount is included in the RJ&A cash balance in the preceding table), which RJ&A has invested on behalf of RJF in cash and cash equivalents or otherwise deployed in its normal business activities.

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.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Liquidity available from subsidiaries

Liquidity is principally available to RJF, the parent company, from RJ&A and RJ 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 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, 2020, RJ&A significantly 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 (“IRS”) regulations in order to accept new IRA and plan accounts and retain the accounts for which it serves as nonbank custodian. To maintain adequate net worth under these regulations, RJ&A may have to limit dividends to RJF. We evaluate regulatory requirements, loan covenants and certain internal tolerances when determining the amount of liquidity available to RJF from RJ&A.

RJ Bank may pay dividends to RJF without prior approval of its regulator as long as the dividend does not exceed the sum of RJ Bank’s current calendar year and the previous two calendar years’ retained net income, and RJ Bank maintains its targeted regulatory capital ratios. At June 30, 2020, RJ Bank had $274 million of capital in excess of the amount it would need at that date to maintain its targeted regulatory capital ratios, and could pay a dividend of such amount without requiring prior approval of its regulator.

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 or, in the case of the Credit Facility, an unsecured line of credit. The required market value of the collateral associated with the committed secured facility 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.

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. As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings under two uncommitted secured borrowing arrangements with lenders 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 RJ&A.

Other financings

RJ Bank had $875 million in FHLB borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020, comprised of floating-rate advances totaling $850 million and a $25 million fixed-rate advance, all of which were secured by a blanket lien on RJ Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio (see Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding these borrowings). RJ Bank had an additional $2.96 billion in immediate credit available from the FHLB as of June 30, 2020 and, with the pledge of additional eligible collateral to the FHLB, total available credit of 30% of total assets.

RJ Bank is eligible to participate in the FRB’s discount-window program; however, we do not view borrowings from the FRB 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 FRB, 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 balances related to the securities loaned included in “Securities loaned” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition of this Form 10-Q, in the amount of $88 million as of June 30, 2020. See Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for more information on our securities borrowed and securities loaned.

From time to time we enter into repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements.  We account for each of these types of transactions as collateralized agreements and financings, with the outstanding balances of the repurchase agreements included in “Securities sold under agreements to repurchase” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition of this Form 10-Q, in the amount of $228 million as of June 30, 2020. These balances are reflected in the preceding table of uncommitted financing arrangements. Such financings are generally collateralized by non-customer, RJ&A-owned securities or by securities that we have received as collateral under reverse repurchase agreements.

At June 30, 2020, in addition to the financing arrangements previously described, we had $15 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.

At June 30, 2020, we had aggregate outstanding senior notes payable of $2.04 billion. Our senior notes payable, exclusive of any unaccreted premiums or discounts and debt issuance costs, was comprised of $250 million par 5.625% senior notes due 2024, $500 million par 3.625% senior notes due 2026, $500 million par 4.65% senior notes due 2030, which were issued during our fiscal second quarter of 2020, and $800 million par 4.95% senior notes due 2046. See Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Our issuer and senior long-term debt ratings as of the most current report are detailed in the following table.
Rating AgencyRatingOutlook
Standard & Poor’s Ratings ServicesBBB+Stable
Moody’s Investors ServicesBaa1Stable

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. Deteriorations 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 (see Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information). 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 investor 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 $500 million 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 $610 million as of June 30, 2020, comprised of $363 million related to employee-directed plans and $247 million related to company-directed plans, and we were able to borrow up to 90%, or $549 million, of the June 30, 2020 total without restriction.  To effect any such borrowing, the underlying investments would be converted to money market investments, therefore requiring us to
74

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

take market risk related to the employee-directed plans. There were no borrowings outstanding against any of these policies as of June 30, 2020.

On May 18, 2018, 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 18, 2021.
See the Contractual obligations section of this MD&A for information regarding our contractual obligations.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS

The assets on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents (a large portion of which is 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 were liquid in nature, providing us with flexibility in financing our business.

Total assets of $44.68 billion as of June 30, 2020 were $5.85 billion, or 15%, greater than our total assets as of September 30, 2019. The increase in assets was primarily due to a $2.87 billion increase in cash and cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents segregated pursuant to regulations, primarily due to a significant increase in client cash balances due to the market volatility as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as proceeds from our $500 million senior notes issuance in March 2020. In addition, available-for-sale securities increased $2.54 billion, other assets increased $552 million, primarily due to ROU assets recorded as a result of the adoption of new guidance related to the accounting for leases, and bank loans, net increased $332 million. Offsetting these increases, trading instruments and brokerage client receivables, net decreased $347 million and $325 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020, our total liabilities of $37.67 billion were $5.48 billion, or 17%, greater than our total liabilities as of September 30, 2019. The increase in total liabilities was primarily related to the significant increase in client cash balances and was comprised of a $3.09 billion increase in bank deposits, reflecting higher RJBDP balances held at RJ Bank and certificate of deposit issuances during the period, and a $1.59 billion increase in brokerage client payables, primarily due to an increase in client cash held in our CIP as of June 30, 2020. In addition, other payables increased $725 million, primarily due to operating lease liabilities recorded as a result of the adoption of new guidance related to the accounting for leases and an increase in payables resulting from unsettled securities purchases. In addition, senior notes payable increased $494 million due to the issuance of $500 million of 4.65% senior notes due April 2030.

See Notes 2 and 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information on our adoption of the new leasing guidance.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

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. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our senior notes.

Other than the item previously described, there were no other changes to the contractual obligations presented in our 2019 Form 10-K, other than in the ordinary course of business. See Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our commitments as of June 30, 2020.

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 2019 Form 10-K.

RJF and many of its subsidiaries are each subject to various regulatory capital requirements. As of June 30, 2020, all of our active regulated domestic and international subsidiaries had net capital in excess of minimum requirements. In addition, RJF and RJ Bank were categorized as “well-capitalized” as of June 30, 2020. 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
75

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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.

Legislative and regulatory changes in connection with COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in governments around the world implementing several measures to help control the spread of the virus, including, among others, quarantines, travel restrictions and business curtailments. In addition, governments globally intervened with fiscal policy to mitigate the impact of the pandemic, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act in the U.S., which aimed to provide economic relief to businesses and individuals.

The CARES Act includes a broad range of provisions intended to support the U.S. economy. Among its provisions, the act allocates funds for a new Paycheck Protection Program that expands an existing Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan guarantee program for small businesses to keep their employees on payroll and make other eligible payments. Currently, the firm does not act as a lender under these programs and facilities, and has no plans to do so.

The CARES Act also provides certain temporary regulatory relief for financial institutions, including RJF and its subsidiaries. The act permits financial institutions to temporarily suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of the effects of COVID-19 as being a TDR, including impairment for accounting purposes. We elected to apply the CARES Act relief to certain loan modifications that relate to short-term payment deferrals 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 loan modifications. The act also permits financial institutions to temporarily delay the implementation of CECL for estimating allowances for credit losses. Given our later adoption date of October 1, 2020, we do not anticipate delaying our adoption. In addition, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the OCC issued a joint statement providing banking organizations optional temporary relief by delaying the initial adoption impact of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided during 2020 and 2021 (i.e., a five-year transition period). As we do not adopt CECL until October 1, 2020, we are currently evaluating whether we intend to avail ourselves of such relief.

The CARES Act grants potential tax relief and liquidity to businesses, including corporate tax provisions that: temporarily allow for the carryback of net operating losses and remove limitations on the use of loss carryforwards, increase interest expense deduction limitations, and allow accelerated depreciation deductions on certain asset improvements. In addition, the CARES Act allows employers to defer the payment, including the deposit, of payroll taxes for the 2020 calendar year from March 27, 2020 until December 31, 2021 for 50 percent of such taxes and December 31, 2022 for the remaining 50 percent.

The CARES Act further provides a number of consumer finance protections. The act provides a range of forbearance rights with respect to any federally backed residential or multi-family mortgage loan and generally limits the ability of a lender or servicer to institute foreclosure or similar proceedings. The act additionally imposes a moratorium on evictions from dwellings of many tenants. These provisions are consistent with supervisory guidance previously issued by federal banking agencies, which also stated that they would not criticize financial institutions for working with customers affected by the outbreak in a safe and sound manner. We have modified our processes to ensure full compliance and are working as appropriate to support affected businesses and individuals during this time.

In addition to guidance regarding supporting customers, federal banking agencies have also taken a number of other actions. The Federal Reserve, for example, has taken active steps to inject liquidity into the economy. The Federal Reserve has reduced the benchmark interest rate in an attempt to stimulate the economy. As previously mentioned, this has and will continue to negatively impact our net interest earnings. In addition, the Federal Reserve has established a number of new facilities, including to provide liquidity for issuers of commercial paper, money market funds, new bond and loan issuances, outstanding corporate bonds, primary dealers, and small and medium-sized businesses, and has reduced the interest rates on borrowings under its discount window.

Many state and local authorities have also taken, or are considering taking, legislative, executive, or other action to respond to the economic disruptions caused by the spread of COVID-19, including with respect to foreclosure and repossession moratoriums.

The Company’s legislative and regulatory environment is continually changing in response to the outbreak of COVID-19, and new or modified laws, regulations and guidance may be promulgated at very short notice.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Volcker Rule

In June 2020, the Fed, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, FDIC, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and the SEC finalized amendments to the rules implementing the Volcker Rule. The final rule includes new exclusions from the Volcker Rule’s general prohibition on banking entities investing in and sponsoring private equity funds, hedge funds, and certain other investment vehicles (collectively, “covered funds”) for credit funds, venture capital funds, family wealth management vehicles, and customer facilitation vehicles. The final rule also revises existing exclusions for foreign public funds, loan securitizations, and public welfare and small business funds. In addition, the final rule modifies the “Super 23” provisions of the Volcker Rule, which prohibit banking entities from extending credit to and entering into certain transactions with advised or sponsored covered funds, by exempting certain short-term extensions of credit, among several other previously prohibited transactions.

Many of the amendments contained in the final rule address aspects of the existing regulations that have, since their adoption in 2013, proven in practice to be complex and burdensome or to have unintended consequences. The final rule is intended to clarify and simplify compliance with the implementing regulations and permit additional fund activities that do not present the risks that the Volcker Rule was intended to address.

The final rule will become effective on October 1, 2020 for all banking entities subject to the Volcker Rule, including RJF and its subsidiaries.

Community Reinvestment Act regulations

The OCC issued a final rule comprehensively amending the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) regulations applicable to RJ Bank and other OCC-regulated banks in May 2020. At the core of the OCC’s final rule is a set of new general performance standards that establish more quantitative measures of CRA performance than the tests set forth in existing CRA regulations.

While RJ Bank will be required to comply with the final rule by January 2023, the OCC has deferred to a future rulemaking process the important decision of how key thresholds and benchmarks used in the rule will be applied to determine the level of performance necessary to achieve a particular performance rating. As a result, the final rule creates some uncertainty for RJ Bank and other OCC-regulated banks in planning their CRA activities until that decision in made.

Neither the FDIC nor the Fed joined the OCC in issuing the final rule. State-chartered banks will therefore continue to operate under the FDIC’s and Fed’s existing CRA regulations rather than the final rule. In June 2020, certain organizations filed suit against the OCC asking a court to issue an order setting the rule aside, while in the same month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval in an attempt to nullify the rule. These developments create further uncertainty for RJ Bank and others in planning their CRA activities.

Fiduciary duty

In June 2019, the SEC adopted a package of rulemakings and interpretations related to the provision of advice by broker-dealers and investment advisers, including Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS. Among other things, Regulation Best Interest requires a broker-dealer to act in the best interest of a retail customer when making a recommendation to that customer of any securities transaction or investment strategy involving securities. Form CRS requires that broker-dealers and investment advisers provide retail investors with a brief summary document containing simple, easy-to-understand information about the nature of the relationship between the parties. As of June 30, 2020, we are now required to comply with Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS. Implementation of the regulations required us to review and modify our policies and procedures, as well as associated supervisory and compliance controls, satisfy additional disclosure obligations, and provide related education and training to financial advisors, which has led to additional costs. Additionally, various states have proposed, or adopted, laws and regulations seeking to impose new standards of conduct on broker-dealers that may differ from the SEC’s new regulations, which will lead to additional implementation costs. The Department of Labor (“DOL”) has also reinstated the historical “five-part test” for determining who is an investment advice “fiduciary” when dealing with certain retirement plans and accounts and proposed a new exemption to allow investment advice fiduciaries to receive transaction-based compensation and engage in certain principal trades. We are studying and evaluating the proposal. The total impact of the DOL change on our business will not be fully known until the proposal is finalized and could lead to additional costs.

See Note 20 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information on regulatory capital requirements.

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 2019 Form 10-K.

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. Recent market disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have made it more challenging for us to determine the amount of our allowance for loan losses and the fair value of certain of our assets, particularly our private equity investments. The current circumstances have required a greater reliance on judgment than in recent periods in determining these amounts as of June 30, 2020.

Valuation of financial instruments

The use of fair value to measure financial instruments, with related gains or losses recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, is fundamental to our financial statements and our risk management processes. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our fair value accounting policies regarding financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold but not yet purchased. See Note 3 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

Refer to “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical accounting estimates - Loss provisions” of our 2019 Form 10-K for more information.

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 2019 Form 10-K. In addition, refer to Note 15 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, 2020.

Loan loss provisions arising from operations of RJ Bank

We provide an allowance for loan losses which reflects our continuing evaluation of the probable losses inherent in RJ Bank’s loan portfolio. See the discussion regarding our methodology in estimating the allowance for loan losses in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2019 Form 10-K. See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information on our bank loans.

At June 30, 2020, the amortized cost of all RJ Bank loans was $21.56 billion and the allowance for loan losses was $334 million, which was 1.56% of the held for investment loan portfolio.

Our process of evaluating probable loan losses includes a complex analysis of several quantitative and qualitative factors, requiring management judgment. As a result, the allowance for loan 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.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

Our assets are primarily liquid in nature and are not significantly affected by inflation. However, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, including employee compensation, communications and information processing, and occupancy costs, which may not be readily recoverable through charges for services we provide to our clients. In addition, to the extent inflation results in rising interest rates and has adverse effects upon the securities markets, it may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risks are an inherent part of our business and activities. Management of these risks 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, setting 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, advice, 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, to a lesser extent, through our banking operations. See “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Market risk” of our 2019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our market risk, including how we manage such risk. See Notes 3, 4 and 5 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. In response to
79

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

the significant market uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we took steps to proactively manage our market risk exposures, including enhanced review and monitoring of exposures and risk mitigation efforts. As a result, we reduced our trading inventory levels to reduce risk.

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 fixed income, equity, foreign exchange and derivatives.

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 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 three months ended June 30, 2020, our regulatory-defined daily loss in our trading portfolios did not exceed our predicted VaR. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, our regulatory-defined daily loss in our trading portfolios exceeded our predicted VaR on eleven occasions due to significantly higher levels of market volatility during our fiscal second quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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

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. The results of the application of this market risk capital rule are available on our website under https://www.raymondjames.com/investor-relations/financial-information/filings-and-reports within “Other Reports and Information.”

Should markets suddenly become more volatile, as they did in our fiscal second quarter of 2020, 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, as we did during our fiscal second quarter of 2020.

Banking operations

RJ Bank maintains an earning asset portfolio that is comprised of cash, C&I loans, tax-exempt loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, SBL and other loans, as well as MBS and CMOs (held in the available-for-sale securities portfolio), SBA loan securitizations and a trading portfolio of corporate loans.  These earning assets are primarily funded by client deposits.  Based on its

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

current earning asset portfolio, RJ Bank is subject to interest rate risk.  RJ Bank analyzes interest rate risk based on forecasted net interest income, which is the net amount of interest received and interest paid, and the net portfolio valuation, both in a range of interest rate scenarios.

One of the objectives of RJ Bank’s Asset Liability Management Committee is to manage the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The methods used to measure this sensitivity are described in “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Market risk” of our 2019 Form 10-K.

We utilize a hedging strategy using interest rate swaps as a result of RJ 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 2019 Form 10-K.

The following table is an analysis of RJ Bank’s estimated net interest income over a 12-month period based on instantaneous shifts in interest rates (expressed in basis points) using RJ Bank’s own asset/liability model.

Contractual loan terms for C&I, CRE, CRE construction and residential mortgage loans may include an interest rate floor, cap and/or fixed interest rates for a certain period of time, which would impact the timing of the interest rate reset for the respective loan. See the discussion within the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Credit risk - Risk monitoring process” section of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding RJ Bank’s interest-only residential mortgage loan portfolio.

In our RJ Bank available-for-sale securities portfolio, we hold primarily fixed-rate agency MBS and CMOs which were carried at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2020, with changes in the fair value of the portfolio recorded through OCI in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. At June 30, 2020, our RJ Bank available-for-sale securities portfolio had a fair value of $5.63 billion with a weighted-average yield of 1.90% and a duration of three years. See Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Equity price risk

We are exposed to equity price risk as a result of our capital markets activities. Our broker-dealer activities are primarily client-driven, with the objective of meeting clients’ needs while earning revenues to compensate for the risk associated with carrying inventory.  We attempt to reduce the risk of loss inherent in our inventory of equity securities by monitoring those security positions throughout each day and establishing position limits.

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, a portion of our bank loan portfolio includes loans which are denominated in Canadian dollars, totaling $1.11 billion and $1.10 billion at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. A portion of such loans are held by RJ Bank’s Canadian subsidiary, which is discussed in the following sections.

Investments in foreign subsidiaries

RJ Bank has an investment in a Canadian subsidiary, resulting in foreign exchange risk. To mitigate its foreign exchange risk, RJ 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 5 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 346 million at June 30, 2020, 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 16 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information regarding our components of OCI.

82

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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 have material foreign exchange risk either individually, or in the aggregate, pertaining to these subsidiaries.

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 associated with these contracts are included in “Other” revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 5 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 2019 Form 10-K.

The decline in economic activity as a result of COVID-19 has caused increased credit risk in general and particularly with regard to companies in sectors that have been most significantly impacted by the economic disruption, including energy, airlines, entertainment and leisure, restaurants and gaming. Given the stresses on our clients’ liquidity, we have enhanced our credit monitoring activities, with an increased focus on monitoring our credit exposures and counterparty credit risk, including the risk that trades may not settle with a given counterparty. We have required collateral to be posted across our credit risk exposures in accordance with agreements with our borrowers and counterparties.

RJ Bank has a substantial loan portfolio.  While RJ Bank’s loan portfolio is diversified, a significant downturn in the overall economy, deterioration in real estate values or a significant issue within any sector or sectors where RJ Bank has a concentration will generally result in large provisions for loan losses and/or charge-offs. RJ Bank determines the allowance required for specific loan grades based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. On an ongoing basis, RJ Bank evaluates its methods for determining the allowance for each class of loans and makes enhancements it considers appropriate.

Our allowance for loan losses is regularly evaluated with adjustments made on a quarterly basis. Several factors were taken into consideration in evaluating the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020, including the risk profile of the portfolios, net charge-offs during the period, the level of nonperforming loans, delinquency ratios and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. RJ Bank also considered the uncertainty related to certain industry sectors and the extent of credit exposure to specific borrowers within the portfolio. Finally, RJ Bank considered current economic conditions that might impact the portfolio. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a portfolio-wide assessment on our loan portfolio. As a result, we downgraded loans in certain impacted industries, which gave rise to elevated loan loss provisions during our fiscal second and third quarters. In addition, we sold approximately $355 million, before charge-offs and discounts or premiums, of corporate loans in industries that we believe to be most vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 and, as more 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. Additional sales of corporate loans are also expected in the fiscal fourth quarter to further reduce credit risk in certain sectors.

RJ Bank’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of bank loans held for investment was 1.56% and 1.04% at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. See Note 7 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for detail on the changes in RJ Bank’s allowance for loan losses.

The bank loan loss provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was $188 million compared to a loan loss provision of $16 million for the prior-year period. See further explanation of the loan loss provision increase in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis - Results of Operations - RJ Bank” of this Form 10-Q.

The level of charge-off activity is a factor that is considered in evaluating the potential for 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.

Included in nonperforming residential mortgage loans were $7 million in loans for which $4 million in charge-offs were previously recorded, resulting in less exposure within the remaining balance. See Note 7 in the Notes to the 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 $11 million and $12 million as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, of residential TDRs which were returned to accrual status in accordance with our policy. Total nonperforming assets, including other real estate acquired in the settlement of residential mortgages, amounted to $23 million and $46 million at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of RJ Bank total assets were 0.08% and 0.18% at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Although our nonperforming assets as a percentage of RJ Bank assets remained low as of June 30, 2020, prolonged or further market deterioration could result in an increase in our nonperforming assets, an increase in our allowance for loan losses and/or an increase in net charge-offs in future periods, although the extent will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

We have received requests from certain clients for forbearance, or deferral of their loan payments to us, driven or exacerbated by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain clients have also requested modifications of covenant terms. In accordance with the CARES Act, we have elected to not apply TDR classification to any COVID-19 related loan modifications that were performed after March 1, 2020 to borrowers who were current as of December 31, 2019. Based on the outstanding principal balance as of the end of June 30, 2020, we have active short-term payment deferrals on approximately $364 million and $126 million of our corporate and residential loans, respectively. The borrower’s past due and nonaccrual status will not be impacted during the deferral period.

Loan underwriting policies

RJ Bank’s underwriting policies for the major types of loans are described in “Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Credit risk” of our 2019 Form 10-K. There were no material changes in RJ Bank’s underwriting policies during the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Risk monitoring process

Another component of credit risk strategy at RJ Bank 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, 2020.

Residential mortgage and SBL and other loan portfolios

The collateral securing RJ Bank’s 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 RJ Bank’s 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 RJ Bank’s 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 and LTV ratios. These measures, while considered and reviewed in establishing the allowance for loan losses, have not resulted in any material adjustments to RJ Bank’s historical loss rates.

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.
 Amount of delinquent residential loans Delinquent residential loans as a percentage of outstanding loan balances

Our June 30, 2020 percentage continues to compare favorably to the national average for over 30 day delinquencies of 2.51%, 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 Private Client Group clients across the country. The following table details the geographic concentrations (top five states) of RJ Bank’s one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.
June 30, 2020

CO4.1%0.9%

Loans where borrowers may be subject to payment increases include adjustable rate mortgage loans with terms that initially require payment of interest only.  Payments may increase significantly when the interest-only period ends and the loan principal begins to amortize.  At June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, these loans totaled $1.57 billion and $1.29 billion, respectively, or approximately 32% and 30% 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, 2020, begins amortizing is 6 years.

85

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

A component of credit risk management for the residential portfolio is the LTV ratio and borrower credit score at origination or purchase. The weighted-average LTV ratios and FICO scores at origination of RJ Bank’s residential first mortgage loan portfolio were 64% and 762, respectively.

Corporate and tax-exempt loans

Credit risk in RJ Bank’s corporate and tax-exempt loan portfolios are monitored on an individual loan basis. The majority of RJ Bank’s tax-exempt loan portfolio is comprised of loans to investment-grade borrowers.

Credit risk is managed by diversifying the corporate loan portfolio. RJ Bank’s corporate loan portfolio does not contain a significant concentration in any single industry. The following table details the industry concentrations (top five categories) of RJ Bank’s corporate loans.
June 30, 2020
Loans outstanding as a % of RJ Bank total corporate loansLoans outstanding as a % of RJ Bank total loans
Office real estate7.4%4.0%
Automotive/transportation7.2%3.9%
Business systems and services6.6%3.6%
Hospitality6.6%3.6%
Multi-family5.2%2.8%

RJ Bank’s exposure to the energy, airlines, entertainment and leisure, restaurant and gaming sectors, those most affected by the economic disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic, were each less than 2% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2020.

Although we saw deterioration in oil prices during the current fiscal year, our energy portfolio primarily consists of loans to midstream distribution companies and convenience stores, with no loans to exploration and production enterprises. As a result, the portfolio has minimal direct commodity price exposure. However, if we continue to see a significant deterioration in oil prices, our clients, and as a result our loans to such clients, could be negatively impacted in the future.

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 2019 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 crisis under such protocols. We have endeavored to safeguard our associates and to ensure continuity of business operations for our clients. As a result, most of our associates are working remotely. Our systems and infrastructure have continued to support the increased volumes of activity, without any significant operational or technology disruptions. We did not incur any material losses related to our operational risks during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The firm continues to monitor the situation and has developed a phased approach to reopening our offices based on regional indicators and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. As of June 30, 2020, we have reopened certain of our offices in a limited capacity and are working under strict precautions.

As more fully described in the discussion of our business technology risks included in various risk factors presented in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” of our 2019 Form 10-K and “Part II - Other Information - Item 1A - Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q, despite our implementation of protective measures and endeavoring to modify them as circumstances warrant, our computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to human error, natural disasters, power loss, cyber-attacks and other information security breaches, and other events that could have an impact on the security and stability of our operations.  To-date, we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches; however, there can be no assurances that we will not suffer such losses in the future.

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 in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and the trading price of our common stock. For information regarding these risks and uncertainties, see “Item 1A - Risk Factors” of our 2019 Form 10-K. The following represents material changes to our risk factors disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected, and will likely continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected our business and the entire financial services industry and is likely to continue to do so. Since the beginning of January 2020, the outbreak has caused economic uncertainty and, particularly in our fiscal second quarter disruption in the financial markets both globally and in the U.S., and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The pandemic has led governments and other authorities around the world, including federal, state and local authorities in the U.S., to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on travel and the conduct of business, such as stay-at-home orders, quarantines, travel bans, border closings, business closures and other similar measures. If COVID-19, or another highly infectious or contagious disease, continues to spread or the response to contain it is unsuccessful, we will likely experience further adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. A prolonged period of economic deterioration may also result in impairment of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. The extent of such effects will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the geographic spread of the virus, the overall severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the measures taken by various governmental authorities in response to the outbreak and the possible further impacts on the global economy.

The continued spread of COVID-19 has caused and could continue to cause disruptions in our business. These effects have included restrictions on our employees’ ability to travel, as well as temporary partial or full closures of our facilities and the facilities of our customers, suppliers, or other vendors. We often recruit skilled professionals and new clients by visiting their offices or having them visit our offices. Although we have transitioned such visits to virtual meetings, continued travel restrictions or other disruptions that prevent us from meeting with professional prospects or potential new clients may adversely impact our ability to recruit such professional prospects or engage potential new clients. While we maintain contingency plans for events such as pandemic outbreaks, the further spread of COVID-19 or a similar contagious disease could also impair the availability of our executive officers who are necessary to conduct our business. In addition, any continued spread of COVID-19 or new outbreak could harm the operations of third-party service providers who perform critical services for our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is likely to continue to cause, economic, market and other disruptions worldwide. As a result of a shift to fee-based accounts over the past several years, a larger portion of our client assets is more directly affected by market movements. The significant decrease in the market value of our clients’ assets during our fiscal second quarter had a negative impact on our financial results due to the fact that asset-based fees are earned on the market value of the underlying client assets, many of which are billed based on assets as of the beginning of a quarter. Although equity markets recovered during our fiscal third quarter, any future declines in equity markets will likely have a greater negative affect on revenues and profitability than would have been experienced in prior years due to the increased proportion of our asset-based revenues. Market volatility, such as that seen in our fiscal second quarter, could also cause clients to move their investments to lower margin products, or withdraw them, which could have an adverse impact on our profitability. We could also experience a material reduction in trading volume and lower securities prices in times of market uncertainty, which would result in lower brokerage revenues, including losses on firm inventory. The fair values of certain of our investments could also continue to be negatively impacted, resulting in additional unrealized or realized losses on such investments. In addition, the market uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a slowdown in merger & acquisition activity and may cause our institutional clients to abandon announced transactions and/or cease exploration of potential transactions, which could negatively impact our Capital Markets revenues.

Moreover, certain actions taken by U.S. or other governmental authorities, including the Federal Reserve, that are intended to ameliorate the macroeconomic effects of COVID-19 have had, and will continue to have, a negative effect on our business. The
88

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Fed significantly lowered interest rates in response to COVID-19 pandemic concerns in March. These decreases in short-term interest rates, in addition to those in late 2019, have had a negative impact on our results, as we have certain assets and liabilities, primarily held in our PCG, RJ Bank and Other segments, which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Fees we earn from third-party banks on client cash balances swept to such banks as part of RJBDP are also sensitive to changes in interest rates. These market interest rate declines will continue to negatively impact results in future quarters.

In addition, we are generally exposed to the credit risk that third-parties that owe us money, securities or other assets will fail to meet their obligations to us due to numerous causes, and this risk has been and may further be exacerbated by the macroeconomic effects of COVID-19. We lend to businesses and individuals, including through offering C&I loans, commercial and residential mortgage loans, tax-exempt loans, home equity lines of credit, and other loans generally collateralized by securities. We also incur credit risk through our investments. Our credit risk has increased, and such risk and credit losses may continue to increase to the extent our loans or investments are to borrowers or issuers who, as a group, may be uniquely or disproportionately affected by declining economic or market conditions as a result of COVID-19 such as those operating in the airline, restaurant, gaming, entertainment/leisure and energy sectors. The deterioration of our credit exposure due to COVID-19 has led to additional loan loss provisions and charge-offs and could lead to further additional loan loss provisions and/or charge-offs, or credit impairment of our investments, and subsequently have a material impact on our net income, regulatory capital and liquidity.

We cannot assure you that conditions in financial markets will not further deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, or that our access to capital and other sources of funding will not become constrained, resulting in actions such as restructuring debt or obtaining additional financing on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive.

Any cyber-attack or other security breach of our technology systems, or those of our clients or other third-party vendors we rely on, could subject us to significant liability and harm our reputation.

Our operations rely heavily on the secure processing, storage and transmission of sensitive and confidential financial, personal and other information in our computer systems and networks. There have been several highly publicized cases involving financial services companies reporting the unauthorized disclosure of client or other confidential information in recent years, as well as cyber-attacks involving the theft, dissemination and destruction of corporate information or other assets, in some cases as a result of failure to follow procedures by employees or contractors or as a result of actions by third parties. Like other financial services firms, we experience malicious cyber activity directed at our computer systems, software, networks and its users on a daily basis. This malicious activity includes attempts at unauthorized access, implantation of computer viruses or malware, and denial-of-service attacks. We also experience large volumes of phishing and other forms of social engineering attempted for the purpose of perpetrating fraud against the firm, our associates, our advisors or our clients. Additionally, like many large enterprises, since mid-March 2020, we have shifted the majority of our associates to remote work arrangements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This change in our operating model has enabled us to successfully continue business operations, but also introduces potential new vulnerabilities to cyber threats. We seek to continuously monitor for and nimbly react to any and all such activity, and we develop our systems to protect our technology infrastructure and data from misuse, misappropriation or corruption.

Cyber-attacks can originate from a variety of sources, including third parties affiliated with foreign governments, organized crime or terrorist organizations. Third parties may also attempt to place individuals within our firm or induce employees, clients or other users of our systems to disclose sensitive information or provide access to our data, and these types of risks may be difficult to detect or prevent. Although cybersecurity incidents among financial services firms are on the rise, we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches. However, the techniques used in these attacks are increasingly sophisticated, change frequently and are often not recognized until launched. Although we seek to maintain a robust suite of authentication and layered information security controls, including our cyber threat analytics, data encryption and tokenization technologies, anti-malware defenses and vulnerability management program, any one or combination of these controls could fail to detect, mitigate or remediate these risks in a timely manner. Despite our implementation of protective measures and endeavoring to modify them as circumstances warrant, our computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to human error, natural disasters, power loss, spam attacks, unauthorized access, distributed denial of service attacks, computer viruses and other malicious code, and other events that could result in significant liability and damage to our reputation, and have an ongoing impact on the security and stability of our operations.

We also rely on numerous third-party service providers to conduct other aspects of our business operations, and we face similar risks relating to them. While we regularly conduct security assessments on these third-party vendors, we cannot be certain that their information security protocols are sufficient to withstand a cyber-attack or other security breach. In addition, in order to access our products and services, our customers may use computers and other devices that are beyond our security control systems.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notwithstanding the precautions we take, if a cyber-attack or other information security breach were to occur, this could jeopardize the information we confidentially maintain, or otherwise cause interruptions in our operations or those of our clients and counterparties, exposing us to liability. As attempted attacks continue to evolve in scope and sophistication, we may be required to expend substantial additional resources to modify or enhance our protective measures, to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures or to communicate about cyber-attacks to our customers. Though we have insurance against some cyber-risks and attacks, we may be subject to litigation and financial losses that exceed our policy limits or are not covered under any of our current insurance policies. A technological breakdown could also interfere with our ability to comply with financial reporting and other regulatory requirements, exposing us to potential disciplinary action by regulators. Additionally, the SEC issued guidance in February 2018 stating that, as a public company, we are expected to have controls and procedures that relate to cybersecurity disclosure, and are required to disclose information relating to certain cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in disclosures required to be made under the federal securities laws. Further, successful cyber-attacks at other large financial institutions or other market participants, whether or not we are affected, could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in financial institutions that could negatively affect us, including harming the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures or the financial system in general, which could result in reduced use of our financial products and services.

Further, in light of the high volume of transactions we process, the large number of our clients, partners and counterparties, the increasing sophistication of malicious actors, and the COVID-19 pandemic response, a cyber-attack could occur and persist for an extended period of time without detection. We expect that any investigation of a cyber-attack would take substantial amounts of time, and that there may be extensive delays before we obtain full and reliable information. During such time we would not necessarily know the extent of the harm or how best to remediate it, and certain errors or actions could be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and remediated, all of which would further increase the costs and consequences of such an attack.

We may also be subject to liability under various data protection laws. In providing services to clients, we manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential client or employee data, including personal data. As a result, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect this information, such as U.S. federal, state and international laws governing the protection of personally identifiable information. These laws and regulations are increasing in complexity and number. If any person, including any of our associates, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our established controls with respect to client or employee data, or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates such data, we could be subject to significant monetary damages, regulatory enforcement actions, fines and/or criminal prosecution. In addition, unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or employee data, whether through system failure, employee negligence, fraud or misappropriation, could damage our reputation and cause us to lose clients and related revenue. Potential liability in the event of a security breach of client data could be significant. Depending on the circumstances giving rise to the breach, this liability may not be subject to a contractual limit or an exclusion of consequential or indirect damages.
