A message from our chair and chief executive officer

This year marks 60 years of business for Raymond James.

PAUL C. REILLY

Chair and Chief Executive Officer

Over six decades we have experienced economic prosperity, technological advances, recessions and geopolitical instability, but through it all, we have remained rooted in our commitment to take care of advisors and their clients, make decisions for the long term and maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet. As we observed during the past two years, this approach positioned us to generate record results in two very different market environments - demonstrating the resilience of our business model and reinforcing the value of our diverse and complementary businesses.

In fiscal 2022, despite the challenging and volatile market environment, Raymond James achieved strong financial results driven by record net revenues in the Private Client Group (PCG), Asset Management and Bank segments and record pre-tax income in PCG. Record net revenues of $11 billion increased 13%, record pre-tax income of $2 billion increased 13%, and record net income available to common shareholders of $1.5 billion increased 7% compared to fiscal 2021. Adjusted net income available to common shareholders of $1.62(1) billion, which excludes $147 million of acquisition-related expenses, increased 5% compared to adjusted net income available to common shareholders in fiscal 2021.

The benefit of higher short-term interest rates, along with higher client assets for most of the fiscal year, drove record net revenues in fiscal 2022. Additionally, we generated a return on common equity of 17.0% and an adjusted return on tangible common equity of 21.1%(1), both strong results particularly given our robust capital position. We ended the year with common shareholders' equity attributable to Raymond James Financial of $9.3 billion and book value per share of $43.41, which increased 13% and 8%, respectively, over September 2021. Our capital ratios remained well above regulatory requirements, with a total capital ratio of 20.4% and Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.3% at the end of the year, giving us the balance sheet capacity to not only be defensive but also opportunistic during these uncertain times.

We made significant progress deploying capital throughout the year, maintaining our longstanding capital deployment priorities: investing in organic growth, which we believe delivers the best returns for our shareholders over time; selectively making acquisitions; paying an ongoing

dividend and repurchasing our stock. During the fiscal year, we increased our quarterly dividend approximately 31% to $0.34 per quarter from $0.26 per quarter. We repurchased 1.74 million shares for $162 million, at an average price of approximately $94 per share. In total, through the combination of common stock dividends and share repurchases, the firm returned total capital of $437 million to shareholders. Subsequent to the fiscal year-end, the board approved a 24% increase of the quarterly common stock cash dividend to $0.42 per share and a share repurchase authorization of $1.5 billion, replacing the previous authorization under which approximately $800 million remained available.

As we have experienced throughout our history, our conservative and long-term approach not only positions us to be defensive, but also to act offensively when opportunities arise. This fiscal year, we were pleased to add three high-quality firms to the Raymond James family. Importantly, each firm met our criteria of providing a strong cultural alignment, offering a strategic fit and making financial sense for our shareholders.

  • Charles Stanley Group - a U.K.-based wealth management firm, with its origin dating back to 1792, with nearly 200 wealth managers and £27.1 billion ($36 billion) in client assets, at the time of closing. We expect this combination will further accelerate the growth of Raymond James' U.K. wealth management franchise, and through Charles Stanley's multiple affiliation options, give us the ability to offer wealth management affiliation choices consistent with our model in the U.S. and Canada.
