RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.
ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS;
REPORTS RECORD REVENUE
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Raymond James Financial, Inc. today reported a 75 percent increase over the prior year’s quarter in unaudited net income to $56,774,000, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the third quarter ended June 30, 2006. In comparison, the firm earned $32,382,000, or $0.29 per diluted share, for fiscal 2005’s third quarter. Net revenues increased 28 percent to $629,668,000, setting another quarterly record.
Unaudited net income for the nine months of fiscal 2006 was reported at $163,414,000, up 54 percent from 2005’s $106,322,000, while net revenues for the period increased 19 percent to $1,749,006,000 from $1,475,647,000 the previous year. Diluted earnings per share were $1.41, up from $0.94 for last year’s comparable period.
The company’s results include a one-time adjustment to financial service fees related to a change from recording IRA fees on a cash basis to an accrual basis. Excluding this $8.2 million favorable adjustment, net revenues were $621,498,000, up 26 percent over the prior year, and net income was $51,709,000 or $0.44 per diluted share for the quarter, up 52 percent from the prior year’s $0.29 per diluted share.
Year-to-date operating earnings, excluding the financial service fee adjustment in the current quarter and the gain on the sale of seats on the NYSE and Montreal Stock exchanges in the previous quarter, were $148,033,000, or $1.28 per diluted share, up 36 percent from the prior year’s $0.94 per diluted share.

“Given the erratic behavior of the stock market arising from renewed hostilities in the Middle East, higher gas prices and continued increases in interest rates to stem inflationary pressures, our revenues and earnings results in our third fiscal quarter were remarkably good. The uncertainty occasioned by the aforementioned economic and political factors, as well as the heightened activity of insurgents in Iraq, obviously impacts investor confidence and activity negatively,” stated Chairman and CEO Thomas A. James.
“All segments of our business contributed to profit improvement. The increase in the Private Client Group segment’s contribution, resulting from higher levels of commissions and fees, excellent recruiting results, and lower legal activity, was the major factor in the improvement.
“Although U.S. corporate earnings continue to be surprising on the upside, it is unlikely that the underlying negative conditions, which are not controllable, at least by us, won’t begin to impinge on results. One can already see lower rates of new issue activity and a flattening in the growth rate of assets under management as the market loses its positive momentum. Accordingly, I’m less optimistic about the near-term outlook.”
The company will conduct its quarterly conference call July 27 at 4:15 p.m. EST. The telephone number is 800-773-5520. The call will also be available on demand on the company’s Web site, raymondjames.com, under “About Raymond James Financial,” “Financial Reports.” The subjects to be covered may also include forward-looking information. Questions may be posed to management by participants on the call, and in response the company may disclose additional material information.
