ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

  • Domestic Private Client Group net new assets(1)(2) of $14.4 billion for the fiscal third quarter, 5.4% annualized growth rate from beginning of period assets
  • Record quarterly net revenues of $2.91 billion, up 7% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 1% over the preceding quarter
  • Quarterly net income available to common shareholders of $369 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, and quarterly adjusted net income available to common shareholders of $399 million(3), or $1.85 per diluted share(3)
  • Record client assets under administration of $1.28 trillion and financial assets under management of $200.7 billion
  • Net interest income and Raymond James Bank Deposit Program (“RJBDP”) fees from third-party banks of $708 million during the quarter, up 91% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and down 3% compared to the preceding quarter
  • Record net revenues of $8.57 billion and record net income available to common shareholders of $1.30 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, up 5% and 22%, respectively, over the first nine months of fiscal 2022
  • Annualized return on common equity of 17.9% and annualized adjusted return on tangible common equity of 22.7%(3) for the first nine months of fiscal 2023

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla – Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE: RJF) today reported record net revenues of $2.91 billion and net income available to common shareholders of $369 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2023. Excluding $40 million of expenses related to acquisitions, quarterly adjusted net income available to common shareholders was $399 million(3), or $1.85 per diluted share(3).

Record quarterly net revenues increased 7% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter. The benefit of higher short-term interest rates on net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks more than offset declines in investment banking revenues, brokerage revenues, and asset management and related administrative fees. The 1% sequential increase in quarterly net revenues was primarily due to higher asset management and related administrative fees.

Quarterly net income available to common shareholders increased 23% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter, driven primarily by higher net interest income and RJBDP fees from third-party banks which were partially offset by elevated provisions for legal and regulatory matters. Sequentially, net income available to common shareholders decreased 13%. Quarterly results were negatively impacted by elevated provisions for legal and regulatory matters of approximately $65 million and bank loan provision for credit losses of $54 million.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, record net revenues of $8.57 billion increased 5%, record earnings per diluted common share of $5.95 increased 19%, and adjusted earnings per diluted common share of $6.17(3) increased 14% over the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The Private Client Group segment generated record net revenues and record pre-tax income during the first nine months of the fiscal year. Annualized return on common equity was 17.9% and annualized adjusted return on tangible common equity was 22.7%(3).

“Through the strength of our businesses and perseverance of our advisors and associates, we generated record net revenues and record net income to common shareholders during the first nine months of the fiscal year, up 5% and 22%, respectively, over fiscal 2022 despite challenging macroeconomic conditions,” said Chair and CEO Paul Reilly. “Importantly, our strong capital ratios and flexible balance sheet keep us well-positioned as we look forward.”

Segment Results
Private Client Group

  • Domestic Private Client Group net new assets(1)(2) of $14.4 billion for the fiscal third quarter, 5.4% annualized growth rate from beginning of period assets
  • Record quarterly net revenues of $2.18 billion, up 11% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 2% over the preceding quarter
  • Quarterly pre-tax income of $411 million, up 64% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and down 7% compared to the preceding quarter
  • Record Private Client Group assets under administration of $1.23 trillion, up 15% compared to June 2022 and 5% over March 2023
  • Record Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts of $697.0 billion, up 15% compared to June 2022 and 5% over March 2023
  • Total clients’ domestic cash sweep and Enhanced Savings Program (“ESP”) balances of $58.0 billion, down 24% compared to June 2022 and up 11% over March 2023

The year-over-year growth in quarterly net revenues and pre-tax income was driven primarily by increases in RJBDP fees and net interest income, which more than offset market-driven declines in asset management and related administrative fees and brokerage revenues. Sequentially, quarterly net revenues grew 2% driven by higher asset management and related administrative fees, which were offset by a decline in RJBDP fees due to lower cash sweep balances, and lower brokerage revenues. However, quarterly pre-tax income declined 7% compared to the preceding quarter driven by higher provisions for legal and regulatory matters and seasonally higher advisor recognition events and conference expenses.

Total clients’ domestic cash sweep and ESP balances grew 11% over March 2023. The increase reflects strong growth in ESP balances which more than offset a modest decline in cash sweep balances largely due to quarterly fee billings and income tax payments. Reflecting higher short-term interest rates, the average yield on RJBDP third-party bank balances increased 12 basis points to 3.37% in the fiscal third quarter.

“Financial advisor retention and recruiting are strong across our multiple affiliation options driven by our advisor and client-focused culture and leading technology and product solutions,” said Reilly. “For example, our recently-launched Enhanced Savings Program ended the quarter at $11.2 billion, as advisors and their clients continue to value this attractive offering.”

Capital Markets

  • Quarterly net revenues of $276 million, down 28% compared to the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 9% compared to the preceding quarter
  • Quarterly pre-tax loss of $34 million
  • Quarterly investment banking revenues of $141 million, down 35% compared to the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 3% compared to the preceding quarter

The year-over-year decline in quarterly net revenues and pre-tax income was largely attributable to lower investment banking and fixed income brokerage revenues. Compensation expense declined 9% driven by lower variable compensation, partially offset by amortization of deferred compensation and additional compensation related to growth investments.

“Investment banking activity across the industry remains muted,” said Reilly. “While the investment banking pipeline remains healthy and new business activity is solid, the timing of closings is largely dependent on improving market conditions.”

Asset Management

  • Quarterly net revenues of $226 million, down 1% compared to the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and up 5% over the preceding quarter
  • Quarterly pre-tax income of $89 million, down 4% compared to the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and up 9% over the preceding quarter
  • Financial assets under management of $200.7 billion, up 10% over June 2022 and 3% over March 2023

Financial assets under management of $200.7 billion grew 10% over the prior-year quarter and 3% over the preceding quarter. The increase in financial assets under management was primarily the result of higher equity markets, along with net inflows into fee-based accounts in the Private Client Group.

Bank

  • Quarterly net revenues of $514 million, up 86% over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and down 5% compared to the preceding quarter
  • Quarterly pre-tax income of $66 million, down 11% compared to the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and 27% compared to the preceding quarter
  • Bank segment net interest margin (“NIM”) of 3.26% for the quarter, up 85 basis points over the prior year’s fiscal third quarter and down 37 basis points compared to the preceding quarter
  • Net loans of $43.3 billion, up 4% over June 2022 and down 1% compared to March 2023

Quarterly net revenues increased over the prior-year quarter driven by higher asset balances and the favorable impact from higher short-term interest rates. Sequentially, quarterly net revenues declined 5% due to lower net interest income. The Bank segment’s NIM decreased 37 basis points during the quarter to 3.26%, primarily due to increased interest expense from higher-cost funding as ESP balances replaced a portion of lower-cost RJBDP client cash sweep balances. Net loans increased 4% over the prior-year quarter and declined 1% compared to the preceding quarter primarily driven by lower corporate loans. Quarterly bank loan provision for credit losses of $54 million increased over the preceding quarter primarily due to weaker macroeconomic assumptions for the Moody’s CRE Price Index in the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model. Despite a higher provision, the credit quality of the loan portfolio is solid, with criticized loans as a percent of total loans held for investment ending the quarter at 0.94%, down from 1.63% at June 2022 and up slightly from 0.92% at March 2023. Bank loan allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans held for investment was 1.04%, and bank loan allowance for credit losses on corporate loans as a percent of corporate loans held for investment was 1.90%.
