Positive
  • Record client assets under administration of $1.45 trillion and record Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts of $798.8 billion
  • Quarterly net revenues of $3.12 billion, up 9% over the prior year's fiscal second quarter
  • Quarterly net income available to common shareholders of $474 million, or $2.22 per diluted share
  • Total clients' domestic cash sweep and Enhanced Savings Program balances of $58.2 billion, up 11% over March 2023
  • Record net revenues of $6.13 billion and record net income available to common shareholders of $971 million for the first half of fiscal 2024
  • Annualized return on common equity of 18.3% for the first half of fiscal 2024
Negative
  • None.

Raymond James Financial’s fiscal second quarter performance is a reflection of the company’s strategic positioning. The reported 18% growth in client assets under administration and a 20% increase in Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts illustrate a substantial expansion of its managed assets, likely driven by both market appreciation and net new assets. This is significant as it implies a robust growth trajectory aligning with increasing investor confidence and market trends. The 9% year-over-year increase in net revenues is also a positive indicator of the firm’s revenue-generating capabilities. However, the 5% quarter-over-quarter decrease in net income warrants a closer look at operating expenses, which appear to have been impacted by payroll taxes and salary increases. Investors may consider whether these costs are likely to stabilize or if they signal a trend of rising operational costs that could affect future profitability.

The noted annualized return on common equity of 18.3% and adjusted return on tangible common equity of 22.8% indicate that the firm is utilizing its equity efficiently to generate profits. These returns are healthy and competitive within the financial services industry, suggesting that Raymond James is managing its equity in a way that could potentially offer value to investors. It’s essential for investors to compare these figures with those of industry peers to gauge relative performance. Furthermore, the firm’s capital allocation strategies, including $207 million in share repurchases, reflect confidence in the company's intrinsic value and a shareholder-friendly approach. The impact of repurchases on shareholder value is twofold: potential share price support and an increase in earnings per share through the reduction of shares outstanding.

The dip in the bank segment’s net interest margin (NIM) by 97 basis points year-over-year highlights the challenges facing the lending side of the business amid a changing rate environment. This could be indicative of broader sector trends where institutions are grappling with costlier funding. As NIM is a critical determinant of bank profitability, investors should monitor future interest rate movements and their impact on the bank’s funding costs. The credit quality of the loan portfolio also deserves attention as the slight uptick in criticized loans may suggest changes in loan portfolio risk, although the level remains relatively low. The bank's robust capital ratios exceeding regulatory requirements convey a strong capital buffer, which is reassuring from a risk management standpoint.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE: RJF) today reported net revenues of $3.12 billion and net income available to common shareholders of $474 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2024. Excluding $26 million of expenses related to acquisitions, quarterly adjusted net income available to common shareholders was $494 million(1), or $2.31 per diluted share(1).

Record quarterly net revenues increased 9% over the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and 3% over the preceding quarter, primarily driven by higher asset management and related administrative fees which grew to $1.52 billion. Quarterly net income available to common shareholders increased 12% over the prior year’s fiscal second quarter, largely due to higher net revenues along with a legal and regulatory net reserve release of $32 million in the quarter. Compared to the preceding quarter, net income available to common shareholders decreased 5%, largely due to a reset of payroll taxes and salary increases in the fiscal second quarter.

For the first six months of the fiscal year, record net revenues of $6.13 billion increased 8%, record earnings per diluted share of $4.54 increased 7%, and record adjusted earnings per diluted share of $4.71(1) increased 9% over the first half of fiscal 2023. The Private Client Group segment generated record net revenues and pre-tax income, and the Asset Management segment produced record net revenues, during the first six months of the fiscal year. For this period, annualized return on common equity was 18.3% and annualized adjusted return on tangible common equity was 22.8%(1).

“We generated record quarterly net revenues of $3.12 billion in the fiscal second quarter fueled by robust year-over-year growth in client assets under administration of 18%, reflecting market growth and solid financial advisor retention and recruiting in the Private Client Group,” said Chair and CEO Paul Reilly. “Entering the back half of the fiscal year, we are well positioned with record client assets and ample capital to support business growth.”

Segment Results
Private Client Group

  • Record quarterly net revenues of $2.34 billion, up 9% over the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and 5% over the preceding quarter
  • Quarterly pre-tax income of $444 million, up 1% over both the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and the preceding quarter
  • Record Private Client Group assets under administration of $1.39 trillion, up 19% over March 2023 and 6% over December 2023
  • Record Private Client Group assets in fee-based accounts of $798.8 billion, up 20% over March 2023 and 7% over December 2023
  • Domestic Private Client Group net new assets(2) of $9.6 billion for the fiscal second quarter; Domestic PCG net new assets(2) of $31.2 billion, or annualized growth from beginning of period assets of 5.7%, for the first half of the fiscal year
  • Total clients’ domestic cash sweep and ESP balances of $58.2 billion, up 11% over March 2023 and up slightly over December 2023

Record quarterly net revenues grew 9% year-over-year and 5% sequentially predominantly driven by higher asset management and related administrative fees, reflecting growth of assets in fee-based accounts during the year, along with higher brokerage revenues.

“Our advisor and client-focused culture and robust technology capabilities continue to drive strong advisor recruiting activity,” said Reilly. “Record PCG net revenues reflected 19% annual growth of client assets, driven by rising equity markets and net new assets(2).”

Capital Markets

  • Quarterly net revenues of $321 million, up 6% over the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and down 5% compared to the preceding quarter
  • Quarterly pre-tax loss of $17 million
  • Quarterly investment banking revenues of $171 million, up 18% over the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and 1% over the preceding quarter

Quarterly net revenues grew 6% over the prior-year quarter primarily the result of higher investment banking revenues. Sequentially, quarterly net revenues declined 5%, primarily driven by lower fixed income brokerage revenues and M&A and advisory revenues, partially offset by higher debt underwriting revenues.

“Investment banking revenues increased slightly from the preceding quarter driven primarily by higher debt underwriting revenues,” said Reilly. “Our M&A pipeline and new business activity remain healthy; however, the timing of closings remains difficult to predict.”

Asset Management

  • Record quarterly net revenues of $252 million, up 17% over the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and 7% over the preceding quarter
  • Quarterly pre-tax income of $100 million, up 22% over the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and 8% over the preceding quarter
  • Record financial assets under management of $227 billion, up 17% over March 2023 and 5% over December 2023

Record quarterly net revenues grew 17% year-over-year and 7% sequentially largely attributable to higher financial assets under management due to higher equity markets and net inflows into fee-based accounts in the Private Client Group.

Bank

  • Quarterly net revenues of $424 million, down 21% compared to the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and 4% compared to the preceding quarter
  • Quarterly pre-tax income of $75 million, down 18% compared to both the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and the preceding quarter
  • Bank segment net interest margin (“NIM”) of 2.66% for the quarter, down 97 basis points compared to the prior year’s fiscal second quarter and 8 basis points compared to the preceding quarter
  • Net loans of $44.1 billion, up 1% over March 2023 and down slightly compared to December 2023

Quarterly net revenues declined 21% year-over-year and 4% sequentially due to lower NIM. The Bank segment’s NIM decreased 8 basis points during the quarter to 2.66%, largely the result of increased interest expense from higher-cost funding as ESP balances replaced a portion of lower-cost Raymond James Bank Deposit Program client cash sweep balances, which were swept to third-party banks.

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 1.21%, up from 1.06% in the preceding quarter. Bank loan allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans held for investment was 1.06%, and bank loan allowance for credit losses on corporate loans as a percent of corporate loans held for investment was 2.05%.

Other

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 21.8%, reflecting the favorable impact of nontaxable corporate owned life insurance gains in the quarter.

During the fiscal second quarter, the firm repurchased 1.70 million shares of common stock for $207 million at an average price of $122 per share. In April, the firm repurchased an additional $43 million of shares for a total of $400 million to date this fiscal year leaving approximately $1.14 billion available under the Board’s approved common stock repurchase authorization. At the end of the quarter, the total capital ratio was 23.3%(3) and the tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.3%(3), both well above regulatory requirements.
