RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James Financial, Inc. today reported net income of $55,628,000, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended March 31, 2010. In comparison, the firm earned $6,093,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Net revenues increased 26 percent to $734,439,000.

“Although the comparisons to last year’s March quarter are gratifying and, in some part, well earned, the 2009 quarter occurred during the bleakest days of the financial meltdown. Consequently, it’s not surprising that Raymond James has dramatically outperformed in this comparison. It is surprising the market’s recovery has been this rapid. On the other hand, a 10.5 percent rate of return on average equity in the quarter is still considerably below our historical average,” stated Chairman and CEO Thomas A. James.

“The more striking comparison is to the immediately preceding December quarter. Net revenues are up 7 percent and net income 30 percent. The Private Client Group, Capital Markets and Raymond James Bank all contributed to the increase. Of our four major segments, only Asset Management Group results trailed the preceding quarter due to a few annual performance fees received last quarter. Excluding the performance fees recorded in the December quarter, Asset Management revenues were up by 5 percent. In Capital Markets, while Fixed Income revenues and profits declined, Equity Capital Markets more than offset the decline.

“The Private Client Group continues to benefit from a higher financial advisor count and higher productivity. Although recruiting has slowed from the record levels of the last two years, activity has recently increased. Given the record level of client assets under administration, which are up 41 percent over last year’s level, the outlook for increasing commissions and fees is constructive,” James continued.

“Raymond James Bank also realized a significant successive quarterly improvement, as well as reversed the loss from last year’s second quarter. In contrast to our objective, total loan balances decreased by $216 million from last quarter but the pipeline is better now.

“Although we expect the trends in both the banking and the securities segments to improve as the economy recovers, one needs to be mindful that the securities markets are subject to corrections in an improving economy and the fortunes of individual borrowers can impact the bank adversely in any individual quarter.”

The company will conduct its quarterly conference call Thursday, April 22, at 8:15 a.m. ET. For a listen-only connection, visit raymondjames.com/analystcall for a live audio webcast. The subjects to be covered may include forward-looking information. Questions may be posed to management by participants on the analyst call-in line, and in response the company may disclose additional material information.

Raymond James Financial (NYSE-RJF) is a Florida-based diversified holding company providing financial services to individuals, corporations and municipalities through its subsidiary companies. Its three wholly owned broker/dealers (Raymond James & Associates, Raymond James Financial Services and Raymond James Ltd.) and Raymond James Investment Services Limited, a majority-owned independent contractor subsidiary in the United Kingdom, have a total of more than 5,300 financial advisors serving approximately 1.9 million accounts in more than 2,300 locations throughout the United States, Canada and overseas. In addition, total client assets are approximately $242 billion, of which $32 billion are managed by the firm’s asset management subsidiaries.

To the extent that Raymond James makes or publishes forward-looking statements (regarding economic conditions, management expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated expense savings, loan reserves/losses, financial results, anticipated results of litigation and regulatory proceedings, and other similar matters), a variety of factors, many of which are beyond Raymond James’ control, could cause actual results and experiences to differ materially from the expectations and objectives expressed in these statements. These factors are described in Raymond James’ 2009 annual report on Form 10-K and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, which are available on raymondjames.com and sec.gov.

* For the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, we reclassified the waiver of money market fees from Other Expense to Investment Advisory Fees revenue.  This resulted in a $4.7 million reclassification between revenues and expenses.

** During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, we changed the methodology used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with new accounting guidance (Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 260-10-45). Prior period earnings per basic and diluted shares have been restated. Earnings per basic and diluted shares were unchanged for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and have been reduced by $0.02 for the year ended March 31, 2009, respectively.

*** Total assets include $3.2 billion invested in qualifying assets comprised of $2.0 billion in reverse repurchase agreements (collateralized by GNMA and U.S. Treasury securities) and $1.2 billion in U.S. Treasury securities, offset by $900 million in overnight borrowing and $2.3 billion in customer deposits, the majority of which were redirected during October 2009 to third party banks participating in the Raymond James Bank Deposit Program, to meet point-in-time regulatory balance sheet composition requirements related to RJ Bank’s qualifying as a thrift institution.
