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 and Note 10 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2017(“2019 Form 10-K”) for the year ended September 30, 2017,2019, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in Note 9 herein.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.

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.

Recent accounting developments


Accounting guidance not yetrecently adopted


Revenue recognition - In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance regarding revenue recognition (ASU 2014-09). The new guidance is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. It also provides guidance on accounting for certain contract costs and requires additional disclosures. This new revenue recognition guidance, including subsequent amendments, is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2018 and allows for full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. Although, early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, we do not plan to early adopt. Upon adoption, we plan to use a modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. Our implementation efforts include identifying revenues and costs within the scope of the standard, analyzing contracts and reviewing potential changes to our existing revenue recognition accounting policies. Based on our implementation efforts to date, we expect that we will be required to change our current presentation of certain costs from a net presentation within revenues to a gross presentation, particularly with respect to merger & acquisitions advisory transactions and underwriting transactions. We are still evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations. We are also still evaluating the impact to our disclosures as a result of adopting this new guidance.

Financial instruments - In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for financial instruments (ASU 2016-01). Among its provisions, this new guidance:

Requires equity investments (other than those accounted for under the equity method or those that result from the consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any.
Simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment.
Eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet.
Requires the use of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.
Requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option.
Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
Clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

This new guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2018, generally under a modified retrospective approach, with the exception of the amendments related to equity investments without a readily determinable fair value and the use of an exit price notion to measure financial instruments for disclosure purposes, which will be applied prospectively as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is generally not permitted. We are evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Lease accounting - In February 2016, the FASBFinancial 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. Consistent with currentWe adopted this guidance the recognition, measurement and presentationas of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will primarily depend upon its classification as a finance or operating lease. The new guidance requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and cash flows arising from leases. This new guidance, including subsequent amendments, is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019. Although early adoption is permitted, we do not plan to early adopt. Upon adoption, we will use a2019 using the alternative modified retrospective approach, with a cumulativeno 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 adjustmenton 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 opening retained earnings. Our implementation efforts include reviewing existing leasesadd 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 service contracts, which may include embedded leases. Thiswill apply the guidance prospectively for qualifying new guidance willor re-designated hedging relationships. The adoption did not impact our financial position andor 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 are evaluatinghave elected certain expedients for cash flow hedges to assert that the magnitudehedged forecasted transaction remains probable, regardless of such impact.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. EarlyAlthough 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.

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 permitted although not prior tocontrolled by the cloud service provider. This amended guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019.2020, with early adoption permitted, and may be adopted using either a prospective or retrospective approach. We have begun ourplan to adopt this standard prospectively effective for annual periods beginning October 1, 2020. The impact of this amended guidance is dependent on implementation and evaluation efforts by establishing a cross-functional teamcosts incurred subsequent to assessadoption.

Consolidation (decision making fees) - In October 2018, the required changes to our credit loss estimation methodologies and systems, as well as determine additional data and resources required to comply withFASB issued guidance on how all entities evaluate decision-making fees under the VIE guidance (ASU 2018-17). Under the new guidance.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, which will depend on, among other things, the current and expected macroeconomic conditions and the nature and characteristics of financial assets held by us on the date of adoption.operations.


Statement of Cash Flows (classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments) - In August 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15). The amended guidance involves several aspects of the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies), distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This amended guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning October1, 2018 and will be adopted under a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance will impact our Statement of Cash Flows and will not have an impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Income tax impact of intra-entity transfers of assets - In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets (ASU 2016-16). Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for intra-entity asset transfers until the asset has been sold to an outside party. Under this new guidance, an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an inter-entity transfer of an asset when the transfer occurs. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 and will be adopted under a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Statement of Cash Flows (restricted cash) - In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-18). Current GAAP does not provide guidance to address how to classify and present changes in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents that occur when there are transfers between cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and when there are direct cash receipts into restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents or direct cash payments made from restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Under the new guidance, an entity should present in their Statement of Cash Flows the changes during the period in the total of cash and cash equivalents and amounts described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and ending-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 and will be adopted under a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Definition of a business - In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the definition of a business (ASU 2017-01). This amended guidance clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 and will be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Given the adoption of this amended guidance is dependent upon the nature of future events and circumstances, we are unable to estimate the impact, if any, the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Goodwill - In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating “Step 2” from the goodwill impairment test (ASU 2017-04). In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under this amended guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and subsequently recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019 and will be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We will adopt this simplification guidance in the earliest period it applies to our facts and circumstances.

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









Callable debt securities - In March 2017, the FASB issued new guidance that requires certain premiums on callable debt securities to be amortized to the earliest call date instead of the contractual life of the security (ASU 2017-08). Discounts on callable debt securities will continue to be amortized to the contractual maturity date. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Share-based payment awards - In May 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting (ASU 2017-09). The amended guidance states an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless certain criteria are met which include that the modified award has the same fair value, vesting conditions and classification as the original award. This amended guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2018 and will be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. Given that this guidance applies to specific transactions and would only become relevant in certain circumstances, we are unable to estimate the impact, if any, this amended guidance may have on our financial position and results of operations.

Derivatives and hedging (accounting for hedging activities) - In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance amending its hedge accounting model (ASU 2017-12). Among other things, the new guidance:

Expands the ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components.
Reduces complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk.
Eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness.
Generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item.
Modifies accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
Eases certain documentation and hedge effectiveness assessment requirements.

The new guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019 and the amendments are required to be applied to cash flow and net investment hedges that exist on the date of adoption on a modified retrospective basis. Changes to presentation and disclosure requirements are only required on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are considering whether we will early adopt this new guidance and the timing thereof, as well as the impact it will have on our financial position and results of operations.


NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions completed during fiscal year 2018

In November 2017, we completed our acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Scout Investments, Inc. (the “Scout Group”), an asset management and distribution entity, from UMB Financial Corporation. The Scout Group includes Scout Investments (“Scout”) and its Reams Asset Management division (“Reams”), as well as Scout Distributors. The addition of Scout, an equity asset manager, and Reams, an institutional-focused fixed income specialist, broadened the investment solutions available to our clients and has been integrated into our Asset Management segment. For purposes of certain acquisition-related financial reporting requirements, the Scout Group acquisition was not considered a material acquisition. We accounted for this acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting with the assets and liabilities of the Scout Group recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The Scout Group’s results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from November 17, 2017.

Acquisition-related expenses

The “Acquisition-related expenses” presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for
the three months ended December 31, 2017 pertain to certain incremental expenses incurred in connection with the Scout Group acquisition. Acquisition-related expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 primarily related to our fiscal year 2016 acquisitions of the U.S. Private Client Services unit of Deutsche Bank Wealth Management (“Alex. Brown”) and MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier Inc. (“3Macs”), which are described further in Note 3 of our 2017 Form 10-K.

Transfers between levels

We had $1 million in transfers of financial instruments from Level 1 to Level 2 during both the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. These transfers were a result of decreased market activity in these instruments. There were no transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and $1 million in transfers of financial instruments from Level 2 to Level 1 during the three months ended December 31, 2016. These transfers were a result of increased market activity in these instruments. Our policy is to treat transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as having occurred at the end of the reporting period.

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 hierarchyon a recurring basis.  In comparison, as having occurred at the end of the reporting period.

Quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements


The following tables below present the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of a significant majoritycertain of our financial instrumentsprivate 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.

(1)Future interest rates are projected based upon a forward interest rate path, plus a spread over such projected base rate that is applicable to each future period for each security within this portfolio segment.  The interest rates presented represent the average interest rate over all projected periods for securities within the portfolio segment.

(2)Assumed calendar year of at least a partial redemption of the outstanding security by the issuer.

(3)Certain private equity investments are valued initially at the transaction price until either our periodic review, significant transactions occur, new developments become known, or we receive information from the fund manager that allows us to update our proportionate share of net assets, when any of which indicate that a change in the carrying values of these investments is appropriate.

(4)The valuation techniques used for the impaired corporate loan portfolio are appraisals less selling costs for the collateral dependent loans and discounted cash flows for impaired loans that are not collateral dependent.



Qualitative disclosureinformation 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 below:

Auction rate securities:

One of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of auction rate securities presented within our available-for-sale securities portfolio relates to judgments regarding whether the level of observable trading activity is sufficient to conclude markets are active.  Where insufficient levels of trading activity are determined to exist as of the reporting date, then management’s assessment of how much weight, if any, to apply to trading prices in inactive markets versus management’s own valuation models could significantly impact the valuation conclusion.  The valuation of the securities impacted by changes in management’s assessment of market activity levels could be either higher or lower, depending upon the relationship of the inactive trading prices compared to the outcome of management’s internal valuation models.following section.


The future interest rate and maturity assumptions impacting the valuation of the auction rate securities are directly related. These securities generally have embedded penalty interest rate provisions in the event auctions fail to set the security’s interest rate. These penalty rates are based upon a stated interest rate spread over what is typically a short-term base interest rate index.  As short-term

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)









interest rates rise, the penalty rate that is specified in the security increases.  Changes in interest rates impact the fair value of our ARS portfolio, as we estimate that at some level of increase in short-term interest rates, issuers of the securities will have the economic incentive to refinance (and thus prepay) the securities.  The faster and steeper short-term interest rates rise, the earlier prepayments will likely occur and the higher the fair value of the security. Therefore, the short-term interest rate assumption directly impacts the input related to the timing of any projected prepayment. 

Private equity investments: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. Significant increases/(decreases)Increases in our investment entities’ future economic performance willthe discount rate would have resulted in a corresponding increase/(decrease) onlower fair value measurement.

Investments in private equity measured at net asset value per share


As more fully described in Note 2 of our 20172019 Form 10-K, as a practical expedient, we utilize net asset value (“NAV”)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 as of December 31, 2017 includedincludes various direct and third partyinvestments, as well as investments in third-party private equity investmentsfunds 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 throughby distributions received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of those funds. We anticipate 90%funds, the timing of these underlying assets will be liquidated over a period of five years or less, with the remaining 10% to be liquidated over a period of nine years.which is uncertain.

The reference point for determining when securities are in a loss position is the reporting period end. As such, it is possible that a security had a fair value that exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the period.

Agency MBS and CMOs and Non-agency CMOs

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Government National Mortgage Associations (“GNMA”) guarantee the contractual cash flows of our available-for-sale securities are guaranteed by the agency MBS and CMOs.U.S. government or its agencies. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, of the 195 U.S. government-sponsored enterprise MBS and CMOs26 available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, 133all were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and 62 were for 12 months or more. We do not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to the guarantee provided by FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA of the full payment of principal and interest, and the fact that we have the ability and intent to hold these securities.months. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, debt securities we held from FNMAin excess of ten percent of our equity included Federal National Home Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and FHLMCFederal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) which had an amortized cost of $1.56$3.78 billion and $626 million,$1.44 billion, respectively, and a fair value of $1.54$3.86 billion and $617 million,$1.47 billion, respectively.


During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, there were no salesJune 30, 2020, we received proceeds of agency MBS and CMO available-for-sale securities. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, there were $7$222 million, in proceeds from the sale of non-agency CMO available-for-sale securities. These sales resultedresulting in an insignificant loss, whichgain, from sales of available-for-sale securities. The gain from the sales was included in “Other revenues”“Other” revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

ARS

Our cost basis in the ARS we hold is the fair value of the securities in the period in which we acquired them. The par value of the ARS we held as of December 31, 2017 was $120 million. Only those ARS whose amortized cost basis we do not expect to recover in full are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired, as we have the ability and intent to hold these securities. All of our ARS securities are evaluated for OTTI on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2017, there were no ARS preferred securities with a fair value less than cost basis.

NOTE 65 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSASSETS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES


Our derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value and are included in “Derivative assets” and “Derivative liabilities” inon our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Cash flows related to our derivative contractsderivatives are included within operating activities inon the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The significant accounting policies governing our derivative financial instruments,derivatives, including our methodologies for determining fair value, are described in Note 2 of our 20172019 Form 10-K.

Derivatives arising from our fixed income business operations

We enter into interest rate contracts as part of our fixed income business to facilitate client transactions or to actively manage risk exposures that arise from our client activity, including a portion of our trading inventory. The majority of these derivatives are traded in the over-the-counter market and are executed directly with another counterparty or are cleared and settled through a clearing organization.

We also facilitate matched book derivative transactions in which Raymond James Financial Products, Inc. (“RJFP”), a wholly owned subsidiary, enters into interest rate derivative transactions with clients. For every derivative transaction RJFP enters into with a client, it also enters into an offsetting derivative on terms that mirror the client transaction with a credit support provider, which is a third-party financial institution. Any collateral required to be exchanged under these derivative contracts is administered directly between the client and the third-party financial institution. Due to this pass-through transaction structure, RJFP has completely mitigated the market and credit risk on these derivative contracts. As a result, derivatives for which the fair value is in an asset position have an equal and offsetting derivative liability. RJFP only has credit risk on its uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues. The receivable for uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues of RJFP was $5 million at both December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, and is included in “Other receivables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Derivatives arising from RJ Bank’s business operations
We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain exposures arising out of RJ Bank’s business operations (see Note 2 of the 2017 Form 10-K for the accounting policies associated with these transactions). Each of these activities is described further below.

We enter into three-month forward foreign exchange contracts primarily to hedge the risks related to RJ Bank’s investment in their Canadian subsidiary as well as their risk resulting from transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The majority of these derivatives are designated as net investment hedges.

The cash flows associated with certain assets held by RJ Bank provide interest income at fixed interest rates. Therefore, the value of these assets, absent any risk mitigation, is subject to fluctuation based upon changes in market rates of interest over time. RJ Bank enters into floating-rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) to, in part, fund these assets and then enters into interest rate swaps which swap variable interest payments on this debt for fixed interest payments. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and effectively fix RJ Bank’s cost of funds associated with these assets to mitigate a portion of the market risk.

Derivative arising from our acquisition of Alex. Brown

As part of our acquisition of Alex. Brown (see Note 3 of the 2017 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the acquisition), we assumed certain DBRSU awards, including the associated plan terms and conditions. The DBRSU awards contain performance conditions based on Deutsche Bank and subsidiaries attaining certain financial results and will ultimately be settled in DB common shares, provided the performance metrics are achieved. The DBRSU obligation results in a derivative, the fair value and notional of

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)





which is measured by multiplying the number of outstanding DBRSU awards to be settled in DB common shares as of the end of the reporting period by the end of reporting period DB share price, as traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

Counterparty netting and collateral related to derivative contracts

To reduce credit exposure on certain of our derivative transactions, we may enter into a master netting arrangement that allows for net settlement of all derivative transactions with each counterparty.  In addition, the credit support annex allows parties to the master netting agreement to mitigate their credit risk by requiring the party which is out of the money to post collateral.  We accept collateral in the form of cash or other marketable securities.  Where permitted, we elect to net-by-counterparty certain derivative contracts entered into under a legally enforceable master netting agreement and, therefore, the fair value of those derivative contracts are netted by counterparty in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As we elect to net-by-counterparty the fair value of such derivative contracts, we also net-by-counterparty cash collateral exchanged as part of those derivative agreements. We may also require certain counterparties to make a deposit at the inception of a derivative agreement, referred to as “initial margin.” This initial margin is included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

We are also required to maintain cash or marketable security deposits with the clearing organizations we utilize to clear certain of our interest rate derivative transactions. This initial margin is included as a component of “Receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations” for cash initial margin or “Other investments” for marketable securities initial margin in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. On a daily basis we also pay cash to or receive cash from these clearing organizations due to changes in the fair value of the derivatives which they clear. Such payments are referred to as “variation margin” and are considered to be settlement of the related derivatives.

RJ Bank provides to counterparties for the benefit of its U.S. subsidiaries, a guarantee of payment in the event of the subsidiary’s default under forward foreign exchange contracts.  Due to this RJ Bank guarantee and the short-term nature of these derivatives, RJ Bank’s U.S. subsidiaries are generally not required to post collateral with and do not generally receive collateral from the respective counterparties.

Risks associated with our derivatives and ourrelated risk mitigation related to, our derivative contracts


Credit risk


We are exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to forward foreign exchange derivative agreements and interest rate contractsderivatives 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.  Currently, we anticipate that all of the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under those agreements.  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.revenues, which were insignificant as of both June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. We are not exposed to market risk as it relates toon these derivative contractsderivatives due to the pass-through transaction structure previously described.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 derivative agreements.derivatives. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk related to our forward foreign exchange derivative agreements.derivatives.  On a daily basis, we monitor our risk exposure inon our derivative agreementsderivatives 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.  These exposures are monitoredrisks, both on afor the total portfolio basis and separately for each agreement for selectedby maturity periods.period.


Derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features


Certain of theour derivative instruments arising from our interest rate contracts and forward foreign exchange contracts contain provisions that require our debt to maintain an investment-grade rating from one1 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 $10 million at December 31, 2017, for which we had posted $1 millioninsignificant as of collateral. Such amounts were not material atboth June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2017.2019.

NOTE 76 – 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 20172019 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.

The required market value of the collateral associated with collateralized agreements and financings generally exceeds the amount financed. Accordingly, the totalTotal collateral received under reverse repurchase agreements and the total amount of collateral posted under repurchase agreements exceeds the carrying value of these agreements inon our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. In the event the market value of the securities we pledge as collateral in these activities declines, we may have to post additional collateral or reduce the borrowing amounts. We monitor such levels daily.


Collateral received and pledged


We receive cash and securities as collateral, primarily in connection with reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowed, derivative transactions not transacted through a clearing organization, and client margin loans. The collateral we receive reduces our credit exposure to individual counterparties.

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.


32

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





Loss – Loans which are considered by management to be uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance on RJ Bank’sour books as an asset, without establishment of a specific valuation allowance or charge-off, is not warranted.  RJ Bank doesWe do not have any bank loan balances within this classification because, in accordance with itsour accounting policy, loans, or a portion thereof considered to be uncollectible, are charged-off prior to the assignment of this classification.

Loans classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful are all considered to be “criticized” loans.


The credit quality of RJ Bank’s performing residential first mortgage loan portfolio is additionally assessed utilizing updated loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios.  Current LTVs are updated using the most recently available information (generally updated every six months) and are estimated based on the initial appraisal obtained at the time of origination, adjusted using relevant market indices for housing price changes that have occurred since origination.  The value of the homes could vary from actual market values due to changes in the condition of the underlying property, variations in housing price changes within current valuation indices, and other factors. Residential mortgage loans with estimated LTVs in excess of 100% represented much less than 1% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio as of December 31, 2017.

NOTE 98 – 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 20172019 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, aInterests”), certain Low-Income Housing Tax Credit fund (“LIHTC fund”LIHTC”) in which RJ Bank is an investor and an affiliate of Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc. (“RJTCF”) is the managing member, a LIHTC fund where RJTCF provides an investor member with a guaranteed return on their investment (“Guaranteed LIHTC Fund”), certain other LIHTC funds and the trust we utilize in connection with restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards granted to certain employees of one of our Canadian subsidiarysubsidiaries (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 table below.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 inof our 20172019 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, New Market Tax Credit Funds (“NMTC 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.

See NoteNotes 2 and 11 of our 20172019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our intangible assets and goodwill accounting policies. The following areinformation about our goodwill and net identifiableintangible assets, including the related accounting policies.

As more fully described in Note 3, we acquired Scout Group during the three months ended December 31, 2017, which included a number of identifiable intangible assets as well as goodwill. See Note 12 of our 2017 Form 10-K for a discussion of the components of our goodwill balance and additional information regarding our identifiable intangible assets.

The addition to goodwill during the three months ended December 31, 2017 arose from acquisition of the Scout Group.

As described in Note 2 of our 2017 Form 10-K, we perform goodwillimpairment 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.value or indicate that the asset is impaired.  We performed our latest annual goodwill impairment testing during the quarter ended March 31, 2017,for our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset as of our January 1, 2020 evaluation date, evaluating balances as of December 31, 2016, and no impairment was identified. In that testing, we2019. We performed both a qualitative impairment assessment for certaineach of our reporting units that had goodwill, as well as for our indefinite-lived intangible asset.  Based upon the outcome of our qualitative assessments, 0 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 quantitative impairment assessmentcorresponding 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 two Raymond James Ltd. (“RJ Ltd.”) reporting units operating in Canada. No events have occurred sinceleases was five years.

We record our assessment duringoperating lease ROU assets at the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that would cause us to update this impairment testing. See Note 12 inamount 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 2017 Form 10-Kcommencement date incremental borrowing rate. Our incremental borrowing rate considers the weighted-average yields on our senior notes payable, adjusted for further information about our goodwill impairment testing.

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.

Rather, these assets are subject to an evaluation of potential impairment on an annual basis to determine whether the estimated fair value is in excess of its carrying value, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. In the course of our evaluation of the potential impairment of such indefinite-lived asset, we may perform either a qualitative or a quantitative assessment.  If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value is greater than its carrying amount, then performing a quantitative analysis is not required.  However, if we conclude otherwise, we then perform a quantitative impairment analysis.  We have elected January 1 as our annual impairment evaluation date, evaluating balanceslease liabilities as of December 31.June 30, 2020 were as follows.

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAXES

For discussion of income tax accounting policies and other income tax related information, see Note 2 and Note 16 of our 2017 Form 10-K.


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.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”)

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was enacted, which significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax system by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates from 35% to 21% and implementing a territorial tax system which includes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As the firm’s fiscal year end is September 30th, our U.S. federal statutory tax rate will be 24.5% for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, which reflects a blended federal statutory rate of 35% for our first fiscal quarter and 21% for the remaining three fiscal quarters.  This blended statutory rate is the basis for calculating our effective tax rate, which is also impacted by other factors.

In response to the enactment of the Tax Act, the SEC issued guidance which summarizes a three-step process to be applied at each reporting period to account for and qualitatively disclose: (1) the effects of the change in tax law for which accounting is complete; (2) provisional amounts (or adjustments to provisional amounts) for the effects of the tax law where accounting is not complete, but that a reasonable estimate has been determined; and (3) a reasonable estimate cannot yet be made and therefore taxes are reflected in accordance with law prior to the enactment of the Tax Act. Further to (2) above, a registrant should record provisional amounts during a “measurement period” when the registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the change in tax law. The measurement period ends when a company has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting, not to exceed twelve months from the enactment date of the Tax Act. In accordance with the SEC guidance, our net income for the three months ended December 31, 2017 included an estimate of the discrete impact of the Tax Act of $117 million, primarily due to the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets at the lower enacted corporate tax rate and, to a lesser extent, the transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. This estimate incorporates assumptions made based on our current interpretation of the Tax Act and may change, possibly materially, as we complete our analysis and receive additional clarification and implementation guidance.

Reduction of U.S. federal corporate tax rate

We applied the SEC’s guidance in estimating the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets at the lower enacted corporate tax rate, resulting in an estimated impact of $104 million. This calculation includes projections related to the timing of realization of deferred tax assets during the remainder of fiscal year 2018 and beyond. We will update our calculation throughout the year as more information becomes available. These estimates may change, possibly materially, as we obtain further information regarding the timing of realization of deferred tax assets.

Transition tax

We also applied the SEC’s guidance in estimating the transition tax, which we anticipate will be approximately $13 million, including the state tax liability associated with deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. Our tax liability calculations include projected amounts of unremitted earnings for our foreign subsidiaries for the remainder of the fiscal year. We will update our calculations throughout the year as more information on our foreign subsidiaries’ earning and profits becomes available. These estimates incorporate assumptions made based on our current interpretation of the Tax Act and may change, possibly materially, as we complete our analysis and receive additional clarification and implementation guidance.  

Executive compensation deduction limitation

We also applied the SEC’s guidance in accounting for the deferred tax assets potentially impacted by the Tax Act legislation. Effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Tax Act eliminates the exception for performance-based compensation from the $1 million executive compensation deduction limitation. Our covered employees are paid a portion of performance-based compensation in the form of RSUs and stock awards which creates a deferred tax asset upon grant. The necessary information is not yet available to determine whether the deferred compensation previously granted will be deductible as a business expense as the legislation published to date is unclear on the effects to the deferred tax assets previously recorded. As such, we are unable to calculate a reasonable impact of this tax law change, thus in accordance with the SEC’s guidance, we did not include a provisional amount in our financial statements. We continue to apply accounting guidance based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Tax Act being enacted. We will report provisional amounts in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be determined.

Indefinite reinvestment assertion

We are in the process of assessing the impact of the Tax Act on our current policy of indefinitely reinvesting foreign earnings, our related assertion to indefinitely reinvestment foreign earnings, as well as any such impact on our consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, no adjustments were included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended December 31, 2017 with respect to the firm’s indefinite reinvestment assertion.

Effective tax rate


For the three months ended December 31, 2017, ourOur effective income tax rate was 61.7%, including23.5% for the estimated discrete impact ofnine months ended June 30, 2020, which was lower than the Tax Act of $117 million, partially offset by a lower blended federal corporate statutory tax rate of 24.5%. The discrete impact of the Tax Act increased our effective tax rate by 37.6 percentage points. The24.8% effective tax rate for fiscal year 20172019. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to the prior year effective tax rate was 31.2%.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 1415 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES


Commitments and contingencies


Loan and Underwriting Commitmentsunderwriting commitments


In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments for fixed incomedebt and equity underwritings. As of December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, we had one11 such open underwriting commitment,commitments, which waswere subsequently settled in open market transactions and did not resultnone of which resulted in a significant loss.


As part of our recruiting efforts, weWe 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 20172019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our accounting policies governing these transactions). These commitmentsoffers are contingent upon the occurrence of certain events occurring, including but not limitedthe individuals joining us and meeting certain conditions outlined in their offer. Our unfunded loan commitments related to the individual joining us.  Assuch offers were insignificant as of December 31, 2017, we had made commitments through the extension of formal offers totaling approximately $118 million that had not yet been funded; however, it is possible that not all of our offers will be accepted and therefore, we would not fund the total amount of the offers extended. As of December 31, 2017, $64 million of the total amount extended consisted of unfunded commitments to prospective financial advisors that had accepted our offers, or recently hired producers.June 30, 2020.

As of December 31, 2017, we had not settled purchases of $121 million in syndicated loans.  These loan purchases are expected to be settled within 90 days.


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:outstanding.
$ in millionsJune 30, 2020September 30, 2019
Open-end consumer lines of credit (primarily SBL)$11,397  $9,328

Commercial lines of credit $1,723,429
 $1,673,272
Unfunded loan commitments $521,676
 $386,950


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 contractcontractual 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 87 for further discussion of this reserve for unfunded lending commitments.


Investment CommitmentsRJ&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.


A subsidiary of RJ Bank has committed $80 million as an investor member in a LIHTC fund in which a subsidiary of RJTCF is the managing member (see Note 2 of our 2017 Form 10-K for information regarding the accounting policies governing these investments). As of December 31, 2017, the RJ Bank subsidiary had invested $62 million of the committed amount.

We have potential contingent payments related to our acquisitions of the Scout Group, The Producer’s Choice LLC and Mummert & Company Corporate Finance GmbH. The estimated fair values of such contingent payments were included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2017.

Other Commitments
RJF has committed an amount of up to $225 million, subject to certain limitations and to annual re-approval by the RJF Board of Directors, to either lend to, or guarantee obligations of RJTCF in connection with RJTCF’s low-income housing development/rehabilitation and syndication activities. At December 31, 2017, RJTCF had $111 million outstanding against this commitment. RJTCF may borrow from RJF in order to make investments in, or fund loans or advances to, either partnerships that purchase and develop properties qualifying for tax credits (“project partnerships”) or LIHTC funds. Investments in project partnerships are sold to various LIHTC funds, which have third partythird-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,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 proceeds fromequity funding events arise over future periods, the salescontractual commitments are usednot expected to repay RJTCF’s borrowings from RJF.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 GNMA or FNMAagency MBS (see the discussion of these activities within Note 2 of our 20172019 Form 10-K).  At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, we had $851$426 million principal amount of outstanding forward MBS purchase commitments, which were expected to be purchased over thewithin 90 days following 90 days.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 to be announced (“TBA”)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 purchasedpurchase commitments are accounted for at fair value. As of December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, the fair value of the TBA securities and the estimated fair value of the purchase commitments were insignificant.

Contingencies

RJF and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to regular reviews and inspections by regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations. The 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 into industry practices, which can also result in the imposition of such sanctions. Refer to the “Legal and regulatory matter contingencies” discussion within this footnote for information about related loss contingency reserves.


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.


RJTCF issues certain guarantees to various third parties related to project partnerships whose interests have been sold toWe guarantee the debt of one or more of our private equity investments. The amount of such debt, including the funds in which RJTCF is the managing member or general partner. In some instances, RJTCF is not the primary guarantorundrawn portion of these obligations, which aggregated to $3a revolving credit facility, was $13 million as of December 31, 2017.

RJTCF has provided a guaranteed return on investment to a third-party investorJune 30, 2020. The debt, which matures in the Guaranteed LIHTC Fund and RJF has guaranteed RJTCF’s performance under the arrangement.  Under the terms2022, is secured by substantially all of the performance guarantee, shouldassets of the underlying LIHTC project partnerships held by the Guaranteed LIHTC Fund fail to deliver a certain amount of tax credits and other tax benefits to this investorborrower.

over the next five years, RJTCF is obligated to pay the investor an amount that results in the investor achieving a minimum specified return on their investment.  A $16 million financing asset was included in “Other assets,” and a related $16 million liability was included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2017 related to this obligation. The maximum exposure to loss under this guarantee was $17 million at December 31, 2017, which represented the undiscounted future payments due the investor.


Legal and regulatory matter contingencies


In addition to theany matters that may be specifically described below,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.

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).

We 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. While we have identified below certain proceedings that we believe could be material, individually or collectively, 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.

We may include in some of the descriptions of individual matters below 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.

Subject to the foregoing, we believe, after consultation with counsel, and consideration of the accrued liability amounts included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements,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 (and excluding amounts subject to the below-described indemnification from Regions Financial Corporation (“Regions”)), as of December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, we estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible aggregate loss to be approximately $70$125 million in excess of the aggregate reservesaccruals for such matters.  Refer to Note 2 of our 20172019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our criteria for recognizing liabilities for contingencies.


Morgan Keegan LitigationWe 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.


Indemnification from Regions

Under the agreement with Regions governing our 2012 acquisition of Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., and MK Holding, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively referred to as “Morgan Keegan”), Regions is obligated to indemnify us for losses we may incur in connection with any Morgan Keegan legal proceedings pending as of the closing date for that transaction, which was April 2, 2012, or commenced after the closing date but related to pre-closing matters that were received prior to April 2, 2015.

The Morgan Keegan matter described below is subject to such indemnification provisions. As of December 31, 2017, management estimated the range of potential liability of all Morgan Keegan matters subject to indemnification, including the cost of defense, to be from $12 million to $44 million. Any loss arising from such matters, after application of any contractual thresholds and other reductions, as set forth in the agreement, will be borne by Regions. As of December 31, 2017 our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition included an indemnification asset of $25 million which was included in “Other assets,” and a liability for potential losses of $25 million which was included within “Other payables,” pertaining to the Morgan Keegan matters subject to indemnification. The amount included within “Other payables” is the amount within the range of potential liability related to such matters which management estimated was more likely than any other amount within such range.

Morgan Keegan matter (subject to indemnification)

In July 2006, Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., a Morgan Keegan affiliate, and one of its former analysts were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited and an affiliate in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, in Morris County, New Jersey. Plaintiffs made claims under a civil RICO statute, for commercial disparagement, tortious interference with contractual relationships, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and common law conspiracy. Plaintiffs alleged that defendants engaged in a multi-year conspiracy to publish and disseminate false and defamatory information about plaintiffs in order to improperly drive down the stock price of Fairfax, so that others could profit from short positions. Plaintiffs alleged that the defendants’ actions disparaged them and harmed their business relationships. Plaintiffs alleged various categories of damages, including lost insurance business, losses on stock and bond offerings, reputational loss, increased audit fees and directors’ and officers’ insurance premiums, and lost acquisitions. They requested actual and punitive damages and treble damages under their RICO claims. On May 11, 2012, the trial court dismissed the plaintiffs’ RICO claims. On June 27, 2012, the trial court dismissed plaintiffs’ tortious interference with prospective relations claim, but allowed the other claims to go forward. Prior to commencement of a jury trial, the court dismissed the remaining claims with prejudice, and the plaintiffs appealed. On April 27, 2017, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of certain claims against Morgan Keegan, including RICO allegations, while remanding to the trial court the claims of disparagement, tortious interference with prospective business relations, and civil conspiracy, and limiting the actual damages to certain lost insurance business. Plaintiffs petitioned the Supreme Court of New Jersey for review of the Appellate Division’s opinion, but on October 17, 2017, the Supreme Court of New Jersey denied the petition.

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.

NOTE 1820 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS


RJF, as a bank holding company and financial holding company, RJ Bank, and 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 Federal Reserve Board.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 accounting 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.

In July 2013, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Fed and the FDIC released final U.S. rules implementing the Basel III capital framework developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain Dodd-Frank Act and other capital provisions and updated the prompt corrective action framework to reflect the new regulatory capital minimums (the “U.S. Basel III Rules”). RJF and RJ Bank report regulatory capital under the Basel III standardized approach. Various aspects of the Basel III rules are subject to multi-year transition periods through December 31, 2018.


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 inunder 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.  The minimum CET1, Tier 1 Capital, and Total Capital ratios of RJF and RJ Bank are supplemented by an incremental capital conservation buffer, consisting entirely of capital that qualifies as CET1, that began phasing in on January 1, 2016 in increments of 0.625% per year until it reaches 2.5% of risk weighted assets on January 1, 2019. FailureIn order to maintain the capital conservation buffer could limit our ability to take certain capital actions, including dividends and common equity repurchases, and to make discretionary bonus payments.payments, we must hold a capital conservation buffer above our minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, both RJF’s and RJ Bank’s capital levels exceeded the fully-phased in capital conservation buffer requirement and arewere each categorized as “well capitalized.“well-capitalized.


For further discussion of regulatory capital requirements applicable to certain of our businesses and subsidiaries, see Note 2122 of our 20172019 Form 10-K.

FACTORS AFFECTING “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS”
Introduction

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“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 not to be meaningful.

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, changes inour effective tax rules,rate, regulatory developments, effects of accounting pronouncements, and general economic conditions.  In addition, words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” 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.


Executive overviewINTRODUCTION


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 a bank holding company. Results in the businesses in which we operate are highly correlated to the general overall strength of economic conditions and, more specifically, to the direction of the U.S. equity and fixed income markets, changes in interest rates, market volatility, the corporate and mortgage lending markets and commercial and residential credit trends.  Overall market conditions, interest rates, 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, which includeincluding investors, borrowers, and competitors, impacting their level of participation in the financial markets. These factors also impact the level of investment banking activity including public offerings, as well as trading profits, and asset valuations, or a combination thereof.  In turn, these decisions and factorswhich ultimately affect our business results.


Three monthsEXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Quarter ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 compared with the three monthsquarter ended December 31, 2016June 30, 2019


We achieved net revenuesIn March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and the United States declared a national emergency due to the impact of $1.73 billion,the pandemic. As a $233 million,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 16% increase. Our pre-tax income was $311 million, an increasetechnology 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 $105 million, or 51%. Our net incomeU.S. equity markets during the quarter. Certain of $119 million reflectsour businesses benefited from the equity market appreciation, and PCG assets in fee-based accounts recovered, increasing 16%, which will have a decrease of $28 million, or 19%, andpositive impact on our earnings per diluted share was $0.80, a 20% decrease.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, earnings werefiscal fourth quarter results. However, our results continued to be negatively affected by the estimated discretesignificant 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 Tax Act of $117 million, primarilydisruptions related to the remeasurementCOVID-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 U.S. deferred tax assets at a lower enacted corporate tax rate. Excluding this discrete impactfiscal 2020, although the extent of such effects will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and $4 million of acquisition-related expenses, adjusted net income was $238.8 million (1), an increase of 35% compared with adjusted net income in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $1.61 (1), a 33% increase compared with adjusted earnings per diluted share in the prior year period.cannot be predicted.

Net revenues increased significantly in the PCG, Asset Management and RJ Bank segments. PCG and Asset Management benefited from growth in client assets in fee-based accounts. RJ Bank had significant growth due to an increase in average interest-earning assets and an increase in net interest margin. Net revenues in our Capital Markets segment declined compared with the prior year period, reflecting a decline in equity and fixed income sales commissions due to low market volatility. Total client assets under administration reached $727.2 billion at December 31, 2017, an 18% increase, primarily attributable to equity market appreciation and strong financial advisor recruiting and retention results.

Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis



Non-interest expenses increased $129During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, net revenues of $1.83 billion decreased $93 million, or 10%. 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 primarily resulted from increased compensation,in brokerage revenues, as the fixed income business generated strong results due to higher client activity levels.

Compensation, commissions and benefits expense associated withexpenses were flat versus the prior-year quarter. Non-compensation expenses increased net revenues, as well as increased staffing levels required$51 million, or 17%, due to support our continued growth and regulatory and compliance requirements. Offsetting thisan $86 million increase was a $30 million decrease in expenses related to the Jay Peak matter,bank loan loss provision, which was settled$81 million in the prior fiscal year.

Our effective tax rate was 61.7% forcurrent-year quarter compared with a $5 million benefit in the currentprior-year quarter, reflecting the estimated discrete impact of the Tax Act of $117 million, partially offset by a lower blended federal corporate statutorydecrease in business development expenses, as travel and conferences were halted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our effective income tax rate of 24.5%. Excluding13.1% for our fiscal third quarter of 2020 primarily reflected the estimated discrete impact of the Tax Act,significant non-taxable gains on our adjusted effective tax rate was 24.1% (1)corporate-owned life insurance portfolio on lower pre-tax earnings for the three monthsquarter.

The firm ended December 31, 2017. We estimate our effective tax rate to be approximately 28% for the remainderquarter 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 year ended September 30, 2018, which reflectssecond quarter of 2020.

Certain of the blended federalimpacts 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 statutory tax rate,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 approximately 24% for fiscal year 2019, reflecting the lower federal corporate statutory tax rate of 21% for the full year.  Our future effective tax rates are estimates and are based on assumptions basedrelated negative impact on our current interpretationresults, 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 the Tax Actevaluating both compensation and may change, possibly materially, as we complete our analysis.  Our future effective tax rate will also be impacted positively or negatively, by non-taxable items such as the gains or losses earned on our Company-owned life insurance (“COLI”), tax exempt interest and non-deductible expenses such as meals and entertainment.  See Note 13 of this Form 10-Q for further information on the Tax Act.non-compensation expenses.

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


Our Private Client GroupPCG segment generated net revenues of $1.23$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 19% increase,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 $155$62 million increased 111% over158%. 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 period which included $30prior-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.

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 legal expenses relatedthe prior-year quarter.

Our Other segment reflected a pre-tax loss that was $4 million larger compared to the Jay Peak matter.  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 securities commissionsasset management and related administrative fees driven by a stronger market environmentdue 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 continued strong recruiting and retention results. The segment also benefited from the impact of highernet interest income due to lower short-term interest rates, resulting in an increase in account and service fees related to client cash balances in the RJBDP.rates. Non-interest expenses increased $111$202 million, or 12%6%, primarily resulting from increasesan increase in compensation commissions and benefits expenses offset by a decreaselargely due to the growth in the aforementioned legal expenses.compensable net revenues.

The increase in net revenues primarily reflected increaseswas driven by higher average beginning-of-quarter assets in advisory fee revenues from managed programs and,offered to a lesser degree, non-discretionary asset-based administration fee revenues. FinancialPCG clients for which the segment provides administrative support, as well as higher average financial assets under management in managed programs increased 64% over the prior year level aided by the acquisition of the Scout Group during the quarter.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 $19$195 million, or 27%79%, primarily resulting from increased investment sub-advisory fees and acquisition-related increases in administrative & incentive compensation and benefits expense.

RJ Bank generated a 20% increase in net revenues to $165 million, while pre-tax income increased 10% to $114 million. The increase in pre-tax income resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income, partially offset by higher affiliate deposit fees paid to the Private Client Group due to increased balances.

NET INTEREST ANALYSIS

Net interest analysis

In response to macroeconomic concerns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, The Federal Reserve Bank announced an increase indecreased its benchmark short-term interest rate twice in March 2020 to a range of 250-0.25%, for a total decrease of 150 basis points in December 2017. This increase is in addition to three 25 basis point interest rate increases since December 2016.points. These increasesdecreases in short-term interest rates, as well as the three rate cuts implemented in 2019 (225 basis points in total) have had a significantnegative impact on our overall financial performance,fiscal year 2020 results, as we have certain assets and liabilities, primarily held in our PCG, and 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 ofbetween our interest sensitiveinterest-sensitive assets toand liabilities held in each of these segments increasesand the nature of fees we earn from third-party banks on the RJBDP, decreases in short-term interest rates generally result in an overall increasedecrease 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.

In PCG, we also earn fees in lieu of interest income from RJBDP, a multi-bank sweep program in which clients’ cash deposits in their brokerage accounts are swept into interest-bearing deposit accounts at RJ Bank and various third-party banks. Such fees are recorded in “Account and service fees” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. RJBDP fees from third-party banks fluctuate based on changes in short-term interest rates relative toliabilities, including deposit rates paid to clients on clienttheir cash balances.

 $46,081

The short-term interest rate increases in 2017 had a significant impact on fees earned from RJBDP; however, they have not had as significant of an impact on market deposit rates paid on client cash balances. However, subsequent to the December 2017 rate increase, we announced increases in our deposit rates paid on client cash balances and we expect market deposit rates will continue to rise with future increases in short-term interest rates. As such, Conversely, any future increases in short-term interest rates mayand/or decreases in the deposit rates paid to clients generally have less of ana positive impact on our fees earned from our RJBDP, or could actually reduce our fees earned in this program, depending onearnings.

Refer to the leveldiscussion of deposit rates paid on client cash balances.

If the Federal Reserve Bank was to reverse its previous actions and decrease the benchmark short-term interest rate or if deposit rates that we pay on client cash balances increased and resulted in a decline in spreads earned on our RJBDP program, the impact onspecific components of our net interest income and account and service fees would be an unfavorable reversal ofwithin the positive impact described above.

Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – PRIVATE CLIENT GROUP
Net interest income in the PCG segment increased $8 million, or 27%, driven by an increase in interest income from segregated assets, due to the impact of an increase in short-term interest rates on these balances, and an increase in interest income from margin loans primarily due to higher yields on these balances. The favorable impact of the higher interest rates was partially offset by a decrease in average segregated asset balances. A decrease in average client cash balances partially offset the impact of the increased rates paid on these balances.

Interest expense on our senior notes decreased by $7 million, or 26% as a result of a decrease in average outstanding balances, as well as the average rate on our outstanding borrowings. The average outstanding balance and average rate of our senior notes decreased due to our March 2017 redemption of our $350 million 6.90% senior notes and our September 2017 redemption of our $300 million 8.60% senior notes, partially offset by the May 2017 issuance of $500 million 4.95% senior notes.

(1) Our independent contractor financial advisor counts include 126 registered individuals who met the requirements to be classified asFee-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 December 31, 2017 periodpreceding 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 our periodic review procedures.quarter.


PCG assets under administration increased 18% over December 31, 2016, resulting fromdue to the net addition of financial advisors and equity market appreciation and net client inflows. Our net client inflows were primarily attributable to strong financial advisor recruiting results.appreciation. In addition, PCG assets in fee-based accounts continued to increase as a percentage of overall PCG assets under administration increased compareddue to December 31, 2016, due in part to clients moving toclients’ preference for fee-based alternatives versus traditional 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.

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 be classifiedour clients’ deposits that are swept to such banks as financial advisors,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 increaseof 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 financial advisors asconsolidation.

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 December 31, 2017 comparedour fiscal second quarter, to December 31, 2016 primarily resulted from strong financial advisor recruiting and high levelsa range of retention. Notwithstanding0-0.25%, a total decrease of 150 basis points. These decreases were in addition to the futurethree 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 ofon our earnings. Further, PCG segment results are impacted by changes in the overall economy,allocation of client cash balances in the RJBDP between RJ Bank and more specifically their impact onthird-party banks.

Although lower compared with March 31, 2020, client cash balances remained elevated as of June 30, 2020 as a result of the markets, we believe that this increase in financial advisors is a positive indication of potential future revenue growth in this segment.market uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 that we consider to be recurringdecreased $27 million, or 8%, reflecting lower revenues from annuity products and lower mutual fund revenues. Offsetting these decreases was 82% for the three months ended December 31, 2017, an increase in revenues from 78% for the prior year period.

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 strong recruiting results.lower legal and regulatory reserves. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in communications and information processing expense.

Asset management and related administrative fees increased $45$267 million, or 30%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 primarily resulting 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 short-term interest rates since December 2016.

Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in costs to support our continued growth and regulatory and compliance requirements. Communications and information processing expense increased $9 million, or 20%, a result of our continued investment in information technology infrastructure to support our growth.

Equity underwriting feesNon-compensation expenses decreased $6$1 million, or 38%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 fewer domestic lead-managed dealsthe increase in revenues.

Non-compensation expenses were unchanged compared with the current yearprior-year period, as compared to the prior year period.

Non-interest expenses were flat over the prior year period, as a declineincreases in sales commissions, in line with the decline in securities commissions andprofessional fees and a decline in other expenses were largely offset by an increasea loss in administrative & incentive compensationthe prior-year period of $15 million associated with the sale of our operations related to research, sales and benefits expense.trading of European equities.

Selected key metrics


Managed Programs - Our investment advisoryprograms

Management fees recorded in thisour Asset Management segment wereare 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 either atas of the beginning of the quarter, end of the quarter or average assets throughout the quarter. Following the Scout Group acquisition during the three months ended December 30, 2017, approximately 60% of our fees were determined15% are based on asset balances at the beginningas of the quarter, 20% were based on asset balances at the end of the quarter, and 20% wereapproximately 25% are based on average assetsdaily balances throughout the quarter.

Administrative fees also increased duringdecline 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 aforementionedCOVID-19 pandemic.

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

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

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning banking 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 itsour 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 applicableattributable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

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 senior notes.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 increase in interest rates and higher corporate cash balances.

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 objectivesobjective of these policies arethis 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, during the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $326 million. In addition to operating cash flows related to net income, other increases in cash from operations included:

An increase of $467 million in brokerage client payables and other accounts payable, mostly due to increased client cash balances in brokerage accounts.
A decrease in our brokerage client receivables and other receivables of $124 million, including a decrease in margin loans.
A decrease of $104 million in securities purchased under agreements to resell, net of securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Offsetting these,offset by cash used in operations resulted from:
A decreaseinvesting activities of $266 million$3.02 billion and an increase in accrued compensation, commissions and benefits, primarily resulting from the annual paymentamount of certain incentive awards.
A decrease in securities loaned, net of securities borrowed of $140 million.

We used $36 million to fund property investments, primarily software and computer equipment.

Financing activities provided $979 million of cash during the three months ended December 31, 2017.  

Increases in cash from financing activities resulted from:
An increase in RJ Bank deposit balances of $993 million.bank loans.
Net proceeds of $300 million from borrowings on the RJF Credit Facility.

Offsetting these, decreases in cash from financing activities resulted from:
Net repayments of $280 million of other lines of credit.
Payment of dividends to our shareholders of $32 million.


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.

Management's DiscussionCertain of our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) under the Securities and Analysis


Exchange Act of 1934. As a member firm of FINRA, RJ&A is requiredsubject to maintainFINRA’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$1.5 million or 2% of aggregate debit balancesitems arising from client transactions. In addition, covenants in RJ&A’s committed secured financing facilities require its net capital to be a minimum of 10% of aggregate debit items.  At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, RJ&A significantly exceeded both the minimum regulatory requirements, and the covenants in its financing arrangements pertaining to net capital. At that date, RJ&A had excesscapital, as well as its internally-targeted net capital tolerances.  FINRA may impose certain restrictions, such as restricting withdrawals of $640 million, of which $284 million was available for dividend while still maintaining the internally targetedequity capital, if a member firm were to fall below a certain threshold or fail to meet minimum net capital ratiorequirements.

RJ&A, as a nonbank custodian of 15% of aggregate debit items.  There areIndividual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”), must also limitations onsatisfy 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 dividends that may be declared by a broker-dealer without Financial Industry Regulatory Authority approval.liquidity available to RJF from RJ&A.


RJ Bank may pay dividends to the parent companyRJF without the 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 December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, RJ Bank had $139$274 million of capital in excess of the amount it would need at December 31, 2017that date to maintain its targeted totalregulatory capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12.5%,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 the amountsthose previously described above and, in certain instances, may be subject to regulatory requirements.

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 December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, we had three outstanding borrowings under two uncommitted secured borrowing arrangements with lenders out of a total of 1511 uncommitted financing arrangements (nine(seven uncommitted secured and sixfour uncommitted unsecured). However, lenders are under no contractual obligation to lend to us under uncommitted credit facilities.

RJ Bank is eligible to participate in the Fed’sFRB’s discount-window program; however, we do not view borrowings from the FedFRB 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 Fed,FRB, and would beis 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.

Rating AgencyRatingOutlook
Standard & Poor’s Ratings ServicesBBB+Stable
Moody’s Investors ServicesBaa1Stable


76

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



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, our capital structure, our 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 65 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements inof this Form 10-Q for additional information). A credit downgrade could create a reputational issuedamage our reputation and could also result in certain counterparties limiting their business with us, result in negative comments by analysts, and potentially negatively impact investor and/or clients’ perception of us, and resultantly impactcause a decline in our stock price and/price. None of our borrowing arrangements contains a condition or event of default related to our clients’ perception of us. Acredit ratings. However, a credit downgrade would result in RJFthe firm incurring a higher commitmentfacility fee on any unused balance on one of its borrowing arrangements, the $300$500 million RJF 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 commitmentfacility fee, as well as the interest rate applicable to any borrowings on such line. None of our credit agreements contain a condition or event of default related to our credit ratings.  


Other sources and uses of liquidity

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.

Critical accounting estimates

RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

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 the Consolidated Financial Statements inof our 20172019 Form 10-K.


We believe that of our accounting estimates and assumptions, those described below involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. 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 theour reported results of our operations and our 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 20172019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our fair value accounting policies regarding financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold but not yet purchased.

Investments in private equity measured at net asset value per share

Our investments in private equity measured at NAV amounted to $100 million at December 31, 2017.

As of December 31, 2017, 10% of our total assets and 2% of our total liabilities were financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3 amounted to $199 million as of December 31, 2017 and represented 5% of our assets measured at fair value. Of the Level 3 assets as of December 31, 2017, our ARS positions comprised $107 million, or 54%, and our private equity investments not measured at NAV comprised $89 million, or 45%, of the total.  Level 3 assets represented 3% of total equity as of December 31, 2017.

Financial instruments which are liabilities categorized as Level 3 were insignificant as of December 31, 2017.

Loss provisions arising fromfor 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 20172019 Form 10-K. In addition, refer to Note 1415 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements inof this Form 10-Q for information regarding legal and regulatory matter contingencies as of December 31, 2017.June 30, 2020.


Loss provisions arising from operations of our Broker-Dealers

The recorded amounts of loss provisions associated with brokerage client receivables and loans to financial advisors and certain key revenue producers are subject to significant management judgment. For a description of the significant estimates and judgments associated with establishing these broker-dealer related loss provisions and the related allowances for doubtful accounts, see the “Brokerage client receivables, net” and “Loans to financial advisors, net” sections of Note 2 of our 2017 Form 10-K and Note 2 in this Form 10-Q for information regarding the allowance for doubtful accounts associated with loans to financial advisors as of December 31, 2017.

Loan loss provisions arising from operations of RJ Bank


RJ Bank providesWe provide an allowance for loan losses which reflects our continuing evaluation of the probable losses inherent in theRJ Bank’s loan portfolio. See the discussion regarding RJ Bank’sour methodology in estimating itsthe allowance for loan losses in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 20172019 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 December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, the amortized cost of all RJ Bank loans was $17.9$21.56 billion and an allowance for loan losses of $191 million was recorded against that balance. The totalthe allowance for loan losses was equal to 1.08%$334 million, which was 1.56% of the amortized cost of theheld for investment loan portfolio.


RJ Bank’sOur process of evaluating its probable loan losses includes a complex analysis of several quantitative and qualitative factors, requiring a substantial amount ofmanagement 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 at RJ Bank.capital.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION
RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis


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 managementRISK 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 results of this process are extensively documented and reported to executive management and the RJF Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors.


The principal risks related to our business activities are market, credit, liquidity, operational, model, and regulatorycompliance.

Governance

Our Board of Directors oversees the firm’s management and legal.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, derivativederivatives 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“Item 7 “Management’s- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Managementmanagement - Market Risk” inrisk” of our 20172019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our market risk, including how we manage such risk. See Notes 3, 4 5 and 65 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements inof 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 inventoriesinventory (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

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 daily, the Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) for all of our trading portfolios.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 numbers for all of our trading portfolios, including fixed income, equity, foreign exchange and derivative instruments.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 testingback-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 December 31, 2017,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 modeling of the risk characteristics of trading positions involves a number of assumptions and approximations. While management believes that itsthese 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-report under “Market Risk Rule Disclosure.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.  risk, as we did during our fiscal second quarter of 2020.

As a part of our fixed income public finance operations, we enter into forward commitments to purchase GNMA or FNMA MBS which are issued on behalf of various state and local housing finance agencies.  These activities result in exposure to interest rate risk. In order to hedge the 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. See Note 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding these activities.

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

current earning asset portfolio, RJ Bank is subject to interest rate risk.  During the current period, RJ Bank has focused its interest rate risk analysis on the risk of market interest rates rising given the Federal Reserve Bank’s increases in short-term interest rates.  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“Item 7 “Management’s- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Managementmanagement - Market Risk”risk” of our 20172019 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 risk management objective, see the discussion of this hedging strategy, insee Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 20172019 Form 10-K and in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.10-K.

Management's Discussion and Analysis



In our RJ Bank available-for-sale securities portfolio, we hold primarily fixed-rate agency MBS and CMOs which were carried at fair value inon our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at December 31, 2017June 30, 2020, with changes in the fair value of the portfolio recorded through “Other comprehensive income”OCI in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. At December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, our RJ Bank available-for-sale securities portfolio had a fair value $2.29of $5.63 billion with a weighted-average yield of 1.99%1.90% and an average expecteda duration of three years. See Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on the fair value of these securities.

Other

We hold ARS, which are long-term variable rate securities tied to short-term interest rates, that are accounted for as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These securities generally have embedded penalty interest rate provisions in the event auctions fail to set the security’s interest rate. These penalty rates are based upon a stated interest rate spread over what is typically a short-term base interest rate index.  As short-term interest rates rise, the penalty rate that is specified in the security increases.  Changes in interest rates impact the fair value of our ARS portfolio, as we estimate that at some level of increase in short-term interest rates, issuers of the securities will have the economic incentive to refinance (and thus prepay) the securities.  The faster and steeper short-term interest rates rise, the earlier prepayments will likely occur and the higher the fair value of the security. See Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements inof this Form 10-Q for additional information on the fair value of these securities.information.

Our broker-dealer activities are primarily client-driven, with the objective of meeting clients’ needs while earning a trading profitrevenues 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.


In addition, our private equity investments may be impacted by equity prices.

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 thisits foreign exchange risk, RJ Bank utilizes short-term, forward foreign exchange contracts. These derivative agreementsderivatives are primarily accounted for as net investment hedges in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

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“Item 7 “Management’s- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Managementmanagement - Credit Risk”risk” of our 20172019 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 C&I, CRE, tax-exempt, SBL and residential mortgage loan portfolios.  Aportfolio.  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 couldwill 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 December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, including the risk profile of the portfolios, net charge-offs during the period, the level of nonperforming loans, delinquency ratios and delinquency ratios.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. RJ Bank determinedIn 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 that was required for specific loan grades based on relativewill be adjusted accordingly. Additional sales of corporate loans are also expected in the fiscal fourth quarter to further reduce credit risk characteristics of the loan portfolio.in certain sectors.

Changes in theRJ 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 were as follows:Bank’s allowance for loan losses.

The bank loan loss provision increasedfor the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was $188 million compared to $1 million from a net $1 million benefit in the prior year. The current year loan loss provision increased due to loan growth, partially offset by lower reserve rates on pass-rated loans resulting from improved credit characteristics. The prior year net benefit resulted fromof $16 million for the resolutionprior-year period. See further explanation of certain corporate criticized loans.

The nonperforming loan balances abovein the preceding table exclude $12$11 million and $14$12 million as of December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2017,2019, 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 20172019 Form 10-K. There were no material changes in RJ Bank’s underwriting policies during the threenine months ended December 31, 2017.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 threenine months ended December 31, 2017.June 30, 2020.


Residential mortgage and SBL and residential mortgage loansother loan portfolios


The marketable 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 qualitative factors include, but are not limited to: loan performance trends, loan product parameters and qualification requirements, borrower credit scores, occupancy (i.e., owner occupied, second home or investment property), level of documentation, loan purpose, geographic concentrations, average loan size loan policy exceptions and updated LTV ratios. These qualitative measures, while considered and reviewed in establishing the allowance for loan losses, have not resulted in any material quantitative adjustments to RJ Bank’s historical loss rates.

RJ Bank obtains the most recently available information (generally updated every six months) to estimate current LTV ratios on the individual loans in the performing residential mortgage loan portfolio. Current LTV ratios are estimated based on the initial appraisal obtained at the time of origination, adjusted using relevant market indices for housing price changes that have occurred since origination. The value of the homes could vary from actual market values due to change in the condition of the underlying property, variations in housing price changes within current valuation indices and other factors.

At December 31, 2017, the average estimated LTV was 53% for the total residential mortgage loan portfolio. Residential mortgage loans with estimated LTVs in excess of 100% represented much less than 1% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio as of December 31, 2017. Credit risk management considers this data in conjunction with delinquency statistics, loss experience and economic circumstances to establish appropriate allowance for loan losses for the residential mortgage loan portfolio.

At December 31, 2017, loans over 30 days delinquent (including nonperforming loans) increased to 0.84% of residential mortgage loans outstanding, compared to 0.73% over 30 days delinquent at September 30, 2017.  Our December 31, 2017 percentage, however, continues to compare favorably to the national average for over 30 day delinquencies of 4.09% as most recently reported by the Fed.
RJ Bank’s significantly lower delinquency rate as compared to its peers is the result of our uniform underwriting policies, the lack of subprime loans and the limited amount of non-traditional loan products.

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 areto 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 follows:a result our loans to such clients, could be negatively impacted in the future.

ItemITEM 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 December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS


Not applicable.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

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.
ITEM 2.MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES


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.

89

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.

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 and “Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk management - Operational risk” of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our exposure to and approaches for managing operational risks.
