RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.
REPORTS RECORD NET REVENUE
IN FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Raymond James Financial, Inc. today reported a 62 percent increase in unaudited net income to $39,243,000, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the first quarter ended December 31 on a 21 percent increase in net revenues of $498,985,000, compared to net income of $24,230,000, or $0.33 per diluted share, on net revenues of $413,987,000, for fiscal 2004’s first quarter. All per-share amounts have been restated to reflect the effect of a March 2004 three-for-two stock split.
“In spite of the doldrums normally associated with business activity in the holiday season, Raymond James attained a new record of almost $500 million in quarterly net revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2005,” stated Chairman and CEO Thomas A. James.
“The confluence of a 14-week quarter, a material increase in net interest income, excellent trading profits and another vibrant investment banking quarter produced a dramatic upsurge of 62 percent in net income from last year’s first quarter. Since 14-week quarters are unusual and the other three factors rarely coincide, one should not annualize these results.
“Although net interest earnings are certainly in a favorable trend and the investment banking pipeline is still replete with offerings, future results will be dependent upon favorable market conditions. While the U.S. economy remains vibrant and the near-term outlook for corporate earnings appears benign, a combination of higher inflation and interest rates could undermine future market appreciation,” he concluded.

To the extent that Raymond James makes or publishes forward-looking statements (regarding management expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated expense savings, financial results, anticipated results of litigation and regulatory proceedings, and other similar matters), a variety of factors, many of which are beyond Raymond James’ control, could cause actual results and experiences to differ materially from the expectations and objectives expressed in these statements. These factors are described in Raymond James’ 2004 annual report on Form 10-K, which is available on raymondjames.com and sec.gov.
