RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
DecemberMarch 31, 20162017

NOTE 1 – INTRODUCTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of business

Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF” or the “Company”) is a financial holding company whose broker-dealer subsidiaries are engaged in various financial services businesses, including the underwriting, distribution, trading and brokerage of equity and debt securities and the sale of mutual funds and other investment products.  In addition, other subsidiaries of RJF provide investment management services for retail and institutional clients, corporate and retail banking, and trust services.  As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” or “us” refer to RJF and/or one or more of its subsidiaries.

Basis of presentation

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 on pages 125 - 127 in the section titled, “Evaluation of VIEs to determine whether consolidation is required” as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2016 Form 10-K”) and in Notes 2 and 9 herein. 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.

Accounting estimates and assumptions

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) but not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The nature of our business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2016 Form 10-K. To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Principal subsidiaries

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, our principal subsidiaries, all wholly owned, include: Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJ&A”) a domestic broker-dealer carrying client accounts, Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. (“RJFS”) an introducing domestic broker-dealer, Raymond James Financial Services Advisors, Inc. (“RJFSA”) a registered investment advisor, Raymond James Ltd. (“RJ Ltd.”) a broker-dealer headquartered in Canada, Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Eagle”) a registered investment advisor, and Raymond James Bank, N.A. (“RJ Bank”) a national bank.

Adoption of new accounting guidance

Effective October 1, 2016, we adopted new accounting guidance related to consolidation of legal entities, as well as new guidance simplifying certain aspects of accounting for stock compensation.

As a result of our October 1, 2016 adoption of the new consolidation guidance, we deconsolidated a number of tax credit fund VIEs that had been previously consolidated. We determined that under the new guidance, we are no longer deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. We applied the new consolidation guidance on the full retrospective basis, meaning that we have reflected the adjustments arising from this adoption as of the beginning of our earliest comparative period presented. Accordingly, we deconsolidated $107 million in assets, $20 million in liabilities, $89 million in noncontrolling equity interests,

9

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





and increased retained earnings by $2 million, each computed as of September 30, 2016. There was no net impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the prior year period as the net change in revenues, interest and other expenses were offset by the impact of the deconsolidation on the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. See Notes 2 and 9 for additional information.

Our adoption of the new stock compensation simplification guidance impacts our determination of income tax expense. Generally, the amount of compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes varies from the amount that can ultimately be deducted on the tax return for share-based payment awards. Under the prior guidance, the tax effects of deductions in excess of compensation expense (“windfalls”), as well as the tax effect of any deficiencies (“shortfalls”) were recorded in equity to the extent of previously recognized windfalls, with any remaining shortfall recorded in income tax expense. Under the new guidance, all tax effects related to share-based payments are recorded through tax expense in the periods during which the awards are exercised or vest, as applicable. Under the transition provisions of the new guidance, we have applied this new guidance prospectively to excess tax benefits arising from vesting after the October 1, 2016 adoption date. Under the new guidance, excess tax benefits are included along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Prior period cash flows have been adjusted to conform to the new presentation. See Note 1416 for additional information.

Reclassifications

Certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

NOTE 2 – UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 on pages 108 - 127 of our 2016 Form 10-K. Other than the October 1, 2016 adoption of new consolidation guidance which is described in Note 1 and below, and new guidance on stock compensation which is discussed in Notes 1, 1416 and 18,20, there have been no other significant changes in our significant accounting policies since September 30, 2016.

Evaluation of VIEs to determine whether consolidation is required

Our significant accounting policies applicable to the evaluation of legal entities to determine whether consolidation is required are discussed on pages 125 - 127 of our 2016 Form 10-K. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, the nature of our involvement in legal entities as described therein is unchanged. However, our assessments of whether our involvement in such legal entities constitutes a VIE, and if so, whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of such VIE, are now governed under new accounting guidance.

Other than as described below, our application of the new consolidation accounting guidance to our determinations of whether legal entities with which we are involved constitute VIEs, and if so our primary beneficiary determination of such entities, is unchanged from that described in our 2016 Form 10-K.

EIF Funds

The employee investment funds (“EIF Funds”) were formed many years ago as a compensation and retention mechanism offered to certain of our key employees. After application of the new consolidation guidance, we no longer consider the EIF Funds to be VIEs. Our consolidation conclusion regarding the EIF Funds is unchanged after application of the new consolidation guidance, and we continuecontinued to consolidate the EIF Funds after October 1, 2016 through the application of the voting interest model. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we sold our interests in the EIF Funds.

Non-guaranteed low-income housing tax credit funds

Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc. (“RJTCF”), a wholly owned subsidiary of RJF (“RJTCF”) is a managing member or general partner of low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) funds (the “LIHTC Funds”). Under the new consolidation guidance, the fees earned by RJTCF from the LIHTC Funds are excluded from the determination of whether RJTCF has an obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the LIHTC Fund VIE, which could be potentially significant to the LIHTC Fund. As a result of this change in the primary beneficiary determination criteria, we concludeconcluded that we are not the primary beneficiary of any of the non-guaranteed LIHTC Funds, since we no longer meet the potentially significant benefits criteria as determined under the new guidance. Accordingly, we deconsolidated such previously consolidated funds as of our adoption of this new guidance.

Our conclusions regarding whether the LIHTC Funds are VIEs are unchanged under the new guidance.

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





Other real estate limited partnerships and LLCs

We have interests in several limited partnerships involved in various real estate activities in which a subsidiary is either the general partner or a limited partner. After application of the new consolidation guidance, we no longer consider these entities to be VIEs, and we do not consolidate these partnerships or limited liability companies (“LLCs”). Our consolidation conclusions regarding these interests are unchanged after application of the new consolidation guidance, as we did not consolidate these entities under the prior consolidation guidance.

Managed Funds

We have certain interests in legal entities formed for the purpose of making and managing investments in securities of other entities (“Managed Funds”). The new consolidation guidance eliminated the deferral of the determination of who is the primary beneficiary based on a power and benefits analysis. Under the prior consolidation guidance, the primary beneficiary determination was based upon an assessment of who would absorb a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both.

We applied the new consolidation guidance to the Managed Funds and determined that they are not VIEs. Our conclusion that no consolidation of the Managed Funds is required is unchanged under the new consolidation guidance.

Private Equity Interests

We participate in principal capital and private equity activities and as a result, hold interests in a number of limited partnerships (our “Private Equity Interests”). Under the prior consolidation guidance, we concluded our Private Equity Interests were not VIEs, and our consolidation conclusions were based upon the application of the voting interest model. However, under the new consolidation guidance, we have concluded that the Private Equity Interests are VIEs, primarily as a result of how the new consolidation model applies to the evaluationtreatment of limited partner kick-out and participation rights. In most of our Private Equity Interests, a simple majority of the limited partners cannot initiate an action to kick-out the general partner without cause and the limited partners with equity at-risk lack substantive participating rights, and thusrights. As such, the Private Equity Interests are deemed to be VIEs.

In our analysis of the criteria to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of the Private Equity Interests VIEs, we analyze the power and benefits criterion. In a number of these entities, we are a passive limited partner investor, and thus we do not have the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of such VIEs. Accordingly, in such circumstances we have determined we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore we do not consolidate the VIE. However, in certain of these entities, we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary as we meet the power and benefits criteria. In such instances, we consolidate the Private Equity Interests VIE.

The outcome of the application of the new consolidation guidance did not change the determination of which Private Equity Interests required consolidation under application of the prior guidance. Those Private Equity Interests deemed to be VIEs under the new consolidation guidance and for which we concluded we are the primary beneficiary, were previously consolidated through application of the voting interest model under the prior consolidation guidance.

Brokerage client receivables, loans to financial advisors and allowance for doubtful accounts

As more fully described in Note 2 on page 116 - 117 of our 2016 Form 10-K, we have certain financing receivables that arise from businesses other than our banking business. Specifically, we offer loans to financial advisors and certain key revenue producers, primarily for recruiting, transitional cost assistance, and retention purposes. We present the outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Of the gross balance outstanding, the portion associated with financial advisors who are no longer affiliated with us is $19$21 million and $13 million at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is $6$7 million and $5 million at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.


NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition announcements

On April 20, 2017, we announced we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Scout Investments, Inc. (the “Scout Group”), an asset management and distribution entity, from UMB Financial Corporation (“UMB”). 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,

We had $3 million in transfers of financial instruments from Level 1 to Level 2 during the year ended September 30, 2016. These transfers were a result of a decreasedecreased market activity in the availability and reliability of the observable inputs utilized in the respective instruments’ fair value measurement. these instruments. We had $1 million in transfers of financial instruments from Level 2 to Level 1 during the year ended September 30, 2016.  These transfers were a result of an increaseincreased market activity in the availability and reliability of the observable inputs utilized in the respective instruments’ fair value measurement.these instruments.  Our policy is thatto treat transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as having occurred at the end of each respective quarterlythe reporting period determines when transfers of financial instruments between levels are recognized.period.

(2)For derivative transactions not cleared through an exchange,a clearing organization, and where permitted, we have elected to net derivative receivables and derivative payables and the related cash collateral received and paid when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists (see Note 1315 for additional information regarding offsetting financial instruments). Deposits associated with derivative transactions cleared through an exchangea clearing organization are included in deposits with clearing organizations on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.Condition as of September 30, 2016.

(3)Effective September 30, 2016 we adopted new accounting guidance related to the classification and disclosure of certain investments using the NAV as a practical expedient to measure the fair value of the investment. The amounts presented above do not include our investments measured at NAV, see the “investments in private equity measured at net asset value per share” section within this footnote, for additional information.

(4)The portions of these investments we do not own are approximately $26 million as of September 30, 2016 and are included as a component of noncontrolling interest in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The weighted average portion we own is approximately $57 million or 68% of the total private equity investments of $83 million included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

(5)Other investments include $77 million of financial instruments that are related to obligations to perform under certain deferred compensation plans (see Note 2 and Note 24, of our 2016 Form 10-K for further information regarding these plans), and DB shares with a fair value of $12 million as of September 30, 2016 which we hold as an economic hedge against the DBRSU obligation (see Notes 2, 18, and 24 of our 2016 Form 10-K for additional information).

(6)(4)Consists of derivatives arising from RJ Bank’s business operations, see Note 1214 for additional information.

(7)(5)Includes the fair value of forward commitments to purchase GNMA or FNMA (as hereinafter defined) MBS arising from our fixed income public finance operations. See Note 2 and Note 21 of our 2016 Form 10-K for additional information.

(8)(6)Includes individual loans classified as held for sale, which were recorded at a fair value lower than cost.

(9)(7)Represents the fair value of foreclosed properties which were measured at a fair value subsequent to their initial classification as OREO. The recorded value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition is net of the estimated selling costs.

(10)(8)The balance reflects the DBRSUs which aroseobligation from our acquisition of Alex. Brown, see a discussion of the circumstances giving rise to this derivative in Note 3 on pages 127 - 129 of our 2016 Form 10-K.Brown. See Notes 14 and 20 for additional information.

Qualitative disclosure 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 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.

The future interest rate and maturity assumptions impacting the valuation of the auction rate securities are directly related.  As short-term interest rates rise, due to the variable nature of the penalty interest rate provisions embedded in most of these securities in the event auctions fail to set the security’s interest rate, then a penalty rate that is specified in the security increases.  These penalty rates are based upon a stated interest rate spread over what is typically a short-term base interest rate index.  Management estimates 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.  Therefore, the short-term interest rate assumption directly impacts the input related to the timing of any projected prepayment.  The faster and steeper short-term interest rates rise, the earlier prepayments will likely occur and the higher the fair value of the security.

Private equity investments:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of private equity investments 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 (or decreases) in our investment entities’ future economic performance will have a directly proportional impactcorresponding increase (or decrease) on the valuation results.  The value of our investment moves inversely with the market’s expectation of returns from such investments.  Should the market require higher returns from industries in which we are invested, all other factors held constant, our investments will decrease in value.  Should the market accept lower returns from industries in which we are invested, all other factors held constant, our investments will increase in value.

Investments in private equity measured at net asset value per share

As more fully described in Note 2 on pages 115 - 116 of our 2016 Form 10-K, as a practical expedient, we utilize NAV or its equivalent to determine the recorded value of a portion of our private equity portfolio.     

Our private equity portfolio as of March 31, 2017 includes various direct and third party private equity investments, employee investment funds, and various 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; ourfunds. Our investment is monetized through distributions received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of those funds.

Many of these fund investments meet the definition of prohibited “covered funds” as defined by the Volcker Rule of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  In orderDuring the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we received approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Fed”) to be compliant withcontinue to hold the Volcker Rule by its’ July 2017majority of our “covered fund” investments for up to an additional five-year conformance period, it is possible that we may be required to sellthereby extending our interests inapplicable holding period until July 2022 for such funds.  If that occurs, we would likely receive a value for our interests that is less than the carrying value as there is a limited secondary market for these investments and we may be unable to sell them in orderly transactions.investments.    

Fair value option

The fair value option is an accounting election that allows the reporting entity to apply fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities on an instrument by instrument basis.  As of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, we have elected not to chooseelected the fair value option for any of our financial assets or liabilities not already recorded at fair value.

The contractual maturities, amortized cost, carrying values and current yields for our available for sale securities are as presented below.  Since RJ Bank’s available for sale securities (MBS & CMOs) are backed by mortgages, actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.  Expected maturities of ARS may differ significantly from contractual maturities, as issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

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

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), as well as the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), guarantee the contractual cash flows of the agency MBS and CMOs. At DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 of the 106102 U.S. government-sponsored enterprise MBS and CMOs in an unrealized loss position, 99 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and seventhree were for 12 months or more. We do not consider these securities other-than-temporarily impaired due to the guarantee provided by FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA as to the full payment of principal and interest, and the fact that we have the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity.

Non-agency CMOs

All individual non-agency securities are evaluated for OTTI on a quarterly basis.  Only those non-agency CMOs 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 to maturity.  To assess whether the amortized cost basis of non-agency CMOs will be recovered, RJ Bank performs a cash flow analysis for each security.  This comprehensive process considers borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying each security.  Loan level analysis includes a review of historical default rates, loss severities, liquidations, prepayment speeds and delinquency trends.  In addition to historical details, home prices and the economic outlook are considered to derive the assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model to project security-specific cash flows, which factors in the amount of credit enhancement specific to the security.  The difference between the present value of the cash flows expected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss, and it is recorded as OTTI.

The significant assumptions used in the cash flow analysis of non-agency CMOs are as follows:
December 31, 2016

average (1)
Default rate0% - 7.9%3.45%

(1) Represents the expected activity for the next twelve months.
Index

At DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, 11all of the 12our non-agency CMOs were in a continuous unrealized loss position. Ten of these securities were in that position for 12 months or more and one was in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. Based on the expected cash flows derived from the model utilized in our analysis,more. Although we expect to recover all unrealized losses not already recorded in earnings on our non-agency CMOs. However,CMOs, it is possible that the underlying loan collateral of these securities will perform worse than current expectations, which may lead to adverse changes in the cash flows expected to be collected on these securities and potential future OTTI losses. As residential mortgage loans are the underlying collateral of these securities, the unrealized losses at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 reflect the uncertainty in the markets for these instruments.

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 hold as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 is $152.9$153 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 to maturity. All of our ARS securities are evaluated for OTTI on a quarterly basis.

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, there were 15was one ARS preferred securitiessecurity with a fair value less than theirits cost basis, indicating potential impairment. We analyzed the credit ratings associated with each of these securitiesthe security as an indicator of potential credit impairment and, including subsequent ratings changes, determined that all of these securitiesthis security maintained an investment grade ratingsrating by at least one rating agency. We have the ability and intent to hold these securitiesthis ARS preferred security to maturity and expect to recover theirthe entire cost basis and therefore concluded that none of the potential impairment within our ARS preferred securities portfolio is related to potential credit loss.

Within our municipal ARS holdings as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, there were nine municipal ARS with a fair value less than their cost basis, indicating potential impairment. We analyzed the credit ratings associated with these securities as an indicator of potential credit impairment, and including subsequent ratings changes, determined that all of these securities maintained investment grade ratings by at least one rating agency. We have the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity and expect to recover their entire cost basis and therefore concluded that none of the potential impairment within our municipal ARS portfolio is related to potential credit loss.

Other-than-temporarily impaired securities

Although there is no intent to sell either our ARS or our non-agency CMOs, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities, as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of certain securities within the non-agency CMO available for sale security portfolio.

NOTE 8 – BANK LOANS, NET

Bank client receivables are comprised of loans originated or purchased by RJ Bank, and include commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, tax-exempt loans, securities based loans (“SBL”), as well as commercial and residential real estate loans. These receivables are collateralized by first or second mortgages on residential or other real property, other assets of the borrower, a pledge of revenue, or are unsecured.

For a discussion of our accounting policies regarding bank loans and allowances for losses, including the policies regarding loans held for investment, loans held for sale, off-balance sheet loan commitments, nonperforming assets, troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), impaired loans, the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments, and loan charge-off policies, see Note 2 on pages 117 – 121 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

Index

We segregate our loan portfolio into six loan portfolio segments: C&I, commercial real estate (“CRE”), CRE construction, tax-exempt, residential mortgage, and SBL. These portfolio segments also serve as the portfolio loan classes for purposes of credit analysis, except for residential mortgage loans which are further disaggregated into residential first mortgage and residential home equity classes.

At DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) had a blanket lien on RJ Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio as security for the repayment of certain borrowings. See Note 1112 for more information regarding borrowings from the FHLB.

Loans held for sale

RJ Bank originated or purchased $522$315 million and $837 million of loans held for sale during the three and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, respectively, and $623$398 million and $1 billion during the three and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2015.2016.

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.


32

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





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.

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

(1)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% represent less than 1% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio.

NOTE 9 – 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 on pages 125 - 127 of our 2016 Form 10-K for a description of our principal involvement with VIEs and the accounting policies regarding determination of whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of any VIEs.  In addition, refer to Note 2 for the discussion of the changes in our significant accounting policies since September 30, 2016, governing our VIE determinations and consolidation conclusions resulting from our October 1, 2016 adoption of new consolidation accounting guidance.

VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary

Of the VIEs in which we hold an interest, we have determined that certain Private Equity Interests, any LIHTC Funds where RJTCF provides an investor member with a guaranteed return on their investment, certain other LIHTC Funds, and the trust we utilize in connection with restricted stock unit awards granted to certain employees of our Canadian subsidiary (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.

Low-income housing tax credit funds

RJTCF is the managing member or general partner in over 100 separate low-income housing tax credit funds having one or more investor members or limited partners, nearly all of these funds are determined to be VIEs. RJTCF has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of nearly all of the non-guaranteed LIHTC Fund VIEs and, accordingly, does not consolidate these funds. RJTCF consolidates the one Guaranteed LIHTC Fund VIE it sponsors (see Note 1517 for further discussion of the guarantee obligation as well as other RJTCF commitments). as well as any non-guaranteed LIHTC fund of which it concludes it is the primary beneficiary.  RJTCF holds an interest in a limited number of LIHTC Funds it determines not to be VIEs and consolidates a number of such LIHTC funds through the application of the voting interest model, consolidates a number of such LIHTC Funds.model.

VIEs where we hold a variable interest but are not the primary beneficiary

Low-income housing tax credit funds

RJTCF does not consolidate the LIHTC Fund VIEs thatfor which it determines it is not the primary beneficiary of.beneficiary. Our risk of loss is limited to our investments in, advances to, and receivables due from these funds.

New market tax credit funds

One of our affiliates is the managing member of fewer than ten New Market Tax Credit Funds (“NMTC Funds”), and, as discussed in Note 2 on page 127 of our 2016 Form 10-K, this affiliate is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these NMTC Funds. These NMTC Funds are therefore not consolidated. Our risk of loss is limited to our receivables due from these funds.

Private Equity Interests VIEs which we are not the primary beneficiary

As discussed in Note 2, we have an interest in a number of limited partnerships held as a part of our principal capital and private equity activities. We have determined that such entities are VIEs, however, we have concluded we are not the primary beneficiary of all of thethese Private Equity Interest VIEs. Accordingly, we do not consolidate certainthese Private Equity Interests, specifically the ones in which we are not the primary beneficiary.Interests. The carrying value of our investment in the Private Equity Interests VIEs we do not consolidate represents our risk of loss related to such unconsolidated VIEs.

We perform goodwill 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.  During the quarter, we changed our annual goodwill impairment test date for all reporting units from December 31 to January 1; however, the results of our test did not change as we continue to evaluate balances as of December 31. We performed our latest annual goodwill impairment testing during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, evaluating balances as of December 31, 2016, and no impairment was identified. In that testing, we performed both a qualitative impairment assessment for certain of our reporting units and a quantitative impairment assessment for our two RJ Ltd. reporting units operating in Canada.

We assign goodwill to reporting units. Our reporting units include: a domestic Private Client Group (RJ&A domestic retail brokerage operations and our subsidiary The Producers Choice LLC (“TPC”)) and a Canadian Private Client Group (RJ Ltd. Private Client Group), each included in our Private Client Group segment; and RJ&A Fixed Income, U.S. Managed Equity Capital Markets, and RJ Ltd. Capital Markets (associated with our Canadian operations), each included in our Capital Markets segment.

Qualitative Assessments

For each reporting unit on which we performed a qualitative assessment, we determined whether it was more likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit, including the recorded goodwill, was in excess of the fair value of the reporting unit. In any instance in which we are unable to qualitatively conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit carrying value including goodwill, a quantitative analysis of the fair value of the reporting unit would be performed. Based upon the outcome of our qualitative assessments, we determined that no quantitative analysis of the fair value of any of the reporting units we elected to qualitatively analyze was required, and we concluded that none of the goodwill allocated to any of those reporting units was impaired. No events have occurred since our assessment that would cause us to update this impairment testing.

Quantitative Assessments

For our two RJ Ltd. reporting units, we elected not to perform a qualitative assessment and instead performed quantitative assessments of the equity value of each RJ Ltd. reporting unit that had an allocation of goodwill. In our determination of the reporting unit fair value of equity, we used a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we used discounted cash flow models applied to each respective reporting unit. Under the market approach, we calculated an estimated fair value based on a combination of multiples of earnings of guideline companies in the brokerage and capital markets industry that are publicly traded on organized exchanges, and the book value of comparable transactions. The estimated fair value of the equity of the reporting unit resulting from each of these valuation approaches was dependent upon the estimates of future business unit revenues and costs. Such estimates were subject to critical assumptions regarding the nature and health of financial markets in future years as well as the discount rate to apply to the projected future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, a balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and a statement of operations for the last twelve months of activity for each reporting unit were compiled. Future balance sheets and statements of operations were then projected, and estimated future cash flows were

39

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





determined by the combination of these projections. The cash flows were discounted at the reporting units estimated cost of equity, which was derived through application of the capital asset pricing model. The valuation result from the market approach was dependent upon the selection of the comparable guideline companies and transactions and the earnings multiple applied to each respective reporting units’ projected earnings. Finally, significant management judgment was applied in determining the weight assigned to the outcome of the market approach and the income approach, which resulted in one single estimate of the fair value of the equity of the reporting unit.

The following summarizes certain key assumptions utilized in our quantitative analysis:
      Key assumptions
          Weight assigned to the outcome of:
Segment Reporting unit Goodwill as of December 31, 2016 (in thousands) Discount rate used in the income approach Multiple applied to revenue/EPS in the market approach Income approach Market approach
Private client group: RJ Ltd. Private Client Group $22,735
 14.5% 1.2x/12.9x 75% 25%
             
Capital markets: RJ Ltd. Capital Markets $18,997
 14.5% 1.2x/13.3x 75% 25%

The assumptions and estimates utilized in determining the fair value of reporting unit equity are sensitive to changes, including, but not limited to, a decline in overall market conditions, adverse business trends and changes in the regulations.

Based upon the outcome of our quantitative assessments, we concluded that none of the goodwill associated with our two RJ Ltd. reporting units was impaired.

No events have occurred since our quantitative assessments during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that would cause us to update this impairment testing.

Borrowings from the FHLB as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 are comprised of both floating and fixed-rate advances. As of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 the floating-rate FHLB advances have interest rates which reset quarterly and total $650 million with $100 million maturing in June 2018 and $550 million maturing in September 2018. We use interest rate swaps to manage the risk of increases in interest rates associated with these floating-rate advances by converting all of these balances subject to variable interest rates to a fixed interest rate. Refer to Note 1214 for information regarding these interest rate swaps which are accounted for as hedging instruments. The fixed-rate FHLB advance, in the amount of $25 million, matures in October 2020 and bears interest at a rate of 3.4%. All of the FHLB advances are secured by a blanket lien granted to the FHLB on RJ Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio. The weighted average interest rate on these advances as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 is 1.1%1.3%.

(2)Borrowings from the FHLB as of September 30, 2016 are comprised of floating-rate advances which have rates that reset quarterly and total $550 million maturing in September 2018, and a fixed-rate advance in the amount of $25 million, which matures in October 2020 and bears interest at a rate of 3.4%.

(3)Borrowings on secured lines of credit are day-to-day and are generally utilized to finance certain fixed income securities.

(4)Mortgage notes payable pertain to mortgage loans on our corporate headquarters offices located in St. Petersburg, Florida. These mortgage loans are secured by land, buildings, and improvements with a net book value of $44$43 million at DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.  These mortgage loans bear interest at 5.7% with repayment terms of monthly interest and principal debt service and have a January 2023 maturity.

(5)ClariVest Asset Management, LLC (“ClariVest”), a subsidiary of Eagle, is a party to a revolving line of credit provided by a third party lender (the “ClariVest Facility”). The maximum amount available to borrow under the ClariVest Facility is $500 thousand, bearing interest at a variable rate which is 1% over the lenderslender’s prime rate. The ClariVest Facility expires in September 2018.

(6)In August 2015, RJF entered into a revolving credit facility agreement in which the lenders are a number of financial institutions (the “RJF Credit Facility”). This committed unsecured borrowing facility provides for maximum borrowings of up to $300 million, at variable rates of interest, with a facility maturity date in August 2020.interest. There are no borrowings outstanding on the RJF Credit Facility as of either DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 or September 30, 2016.

(7) In May 2017, the maturity date of the RJF Credit Facility was extended from August 2020 to May 2022. Borrowings on unsecured lines of credit, with the exception of the RJF Credit Facility, are day-to-day and are generally utilized for cash management purposes.

There were other collateralized financings outstanding in the amount of $203$222 million and $193 million as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. These other collateralized financings are included in securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

NOTE 1214 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The significant accounting policies governing our derivative financial instruments, including our methodologies for determining fair value, are described in Note 2 on pages 114 - 115 of our 2016 Form 10-K.
Index


Derivatives arising from our fixed income business operations

We enter into derivatives contracts as part of our fixed income operations in either over-the-counter market activities, or through “matched book” activities. Each of these activities are described further below.

In our over-the-counter market activities, we enter into interest rate swaps and futures contracts either as part of our fixed income business to facilitate client transactions, to hedge a portion of our trading inventory or, to a limited extent, for our own account. The majority of these derivative positions are executed in the over-the-counter market, either directly with financial institutions or trades cleared through an exchangea clearing organization (together referred to as the “OTC Derivatives Operations”). Cash flows related to the interest rate contracts arising from the OTC Derivative Operations are included as operating activities (the “trading instruments, net” line) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In our “matched book” activities, Raymond James Financial Products, Inc. (“RJFP”), a wholly owned subsidiary, enters into derivative transactions (primarily interest rate swaps) with clients. For every derivative transaction RJFP enters into with a customer, RJFP enters into an offsetting transaction, on terms that mirror the customer transaction, with a credit support provider which is a third party financial institution. Due to this “pass-through” transaction structure, RJFP has completely mitigated the market and credit risk related to these derivative contracts. Therefore, the ultimate credit and market risk resides with the third party financial institution. RJFP only has credit risk related to its uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues. In these activities, we do not use derivative instruments for trading or hedging purposes. As a result of the structure of these transactions, weWe refer to the derivative contracts we enter into as a result of these operations as our offsetting “matched book” derivative operations (the “Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations”).

Any collateral required to be exchanged under the contracts arising from the Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations is administered directly by the client and the third party financial institution. RJFP does not hold any collateral, or administer any collateral transactions, related to these instruments. We record the value of each derivative position arising from the Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations at fair value, as either an asset or offsetting liability, presented as “derivative“Derivative instruments associated with offsetting matched book positions,” as applicable, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The receivable for uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues of RJFP is $6$5 million and $7 million at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, and is included in other receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

None of the derivatives described above arising from either our OTC Derivatives Operations or our Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges.

Derivatives arising from RJ Bank’s business operations
 
We enter into derivativesforward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps as part of RJ Bank’s business operations through its hedging activities which include forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps (see Note 2 on pages 114 - 115 of the 2016 Form 10-K for the accounting policies associated with these transactions). Each of these activities is described further below.

A Canadian subsidiary of RJ Bank conducts operations directly related to RJ Bank’s Canadian dollar-denominated corporate loan portfolio. U.S. subsidiaries of RJ Bank utilize forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge RJ Bank’s foreign currency exposure due to its non-U.S. dollar net investment.  Cash flows related to these derivative contracts are classified within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

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.

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





We have executed certain interest rate swap contracts (the “RJ Bank Interest Hedges”) which swap variable interest payments on certain debt for fixed interest payments. Through the RJ Bank Interest Hedges, we mitigate a portion of the market risk associated with certain fixed interest earning assets held by RJ Bank.

Description of the collateral we hold related to derivative contracts

Where permitted,To reduce credit exposure on certain of our derivative transactions, we elect to net-by-counterparty certain derivative contracts enteredmay enter into in our OTC Derivatives Operations. Certain of these contracts contain a legally enforceable master netting arrangement that allows for nettingnet settlement of all derivative transactions with each counterparty and, therefore,counterparty.  In addition, the fair value of those derivative contracts are netted by counterparty in the
Index

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  The credit support annex related to the interest rate swaps and certain forward foreign exchange contracts 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, arising from our OTC Derivatives Operations, we also net-by-counterparty any cash collateral exchanged as part of those derivative agreements. Refer to Note 1315 for additional information regarding offsetting asset and liability balances.

ThisWe are required to maintain cash collateral is recorded net-by-counterparty ator marketable security deposits with the clearing organizations we utilize to clear certain of our interest rate derivative transactions. These deposits, referred to as “initial margin,” are a component of deposits with clearing organizations on 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.” During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, a clearing organization we utilize to clear certain of our interest rate derivatives, adopted a rule change which requires variation margin to be considered settlement of the related derivatives instead of collateral. The impact of this change on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition was to reduce the gross fair value.  value of these derivative assets and/or liabilities by the amount of variation margin received or paid on the related derivatives. Prior to the three months ended March 31, 2017, such balances were included as a component of deposits with clearing organizations when such balances were in an asset position, or trade and other payables when such balances were in a liability position, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The cash collateral included in the net fair value of all open derivative asset positions arising from our OTC Derivatives Operations aggregates to a net liability of $5$19 million as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and a net asset of $33 million as of September 30, 2016.  The cash collateral included in the net fair value of all open derivative liability positions from our OTC Derivatives Operations aggregates to a net liabilityasset of $9 million and $3 million at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and a net asset of $3 million at September 30, 2016., respectively.  Our maximum loss exposure under the interest rate swap contracts arising from our OTC Derivatives Operations at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 is $24$23 million.

RJ Bank provides to counterparties for the benefit of its U.S. subsidiaries, a guarantee of payment in the event of the subsidiaries’ 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 with respect to certain derivative contracts withfrom the respective counterparties.

The derivative arose from our fiscal year 2016 acquisition of Alex. Brown, see the discussion of the circumstances giving rise to this derivative in Note 3 on pages 127 - 129 of our 2016 Form 10-K. The impact of the change in value of the derivative in the current period is a loss, as the DB share price increased. We also hold 900,000 shares of DB as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 as an economic hedge against this obligation. The increasechange in value of such DB shares since September 30, 2016 is recorded as a component of compensation, commissions and benefits expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, and partially offsets a portion of this loss.

Risks associated with, and our 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, futures contracts and the interest rate contracts associated with our OTC Derivatives Operations that are not cleared through an exchange.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.  For our OTC Derivatives Operations that are not cleared through an exchange, weWe may require 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 Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations is related to our uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues. We are requirednot exposed to maintain cash or marketable security deposits withmarket risk as it relates to these derivative contracts due to the exchanges we utilize“pass-through” transaction structure previously described.

Interest rate and foreign exchange risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to the interest rate derivative agreements arising from certain of our OTC Derivatives Operations and RJ Bank Interest Hedges.  We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk related to our futures contracts and forward foreign exchange derivative agreements.  WeOn a daily basis, we monitor our risk exposure in our derivative agreements which we have risk daily 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 monitored both on a total portfolio basis and separately for each agreement for selected maturity periods.

Derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features

Certain of the derivative instruments arising from our OTC Derivatives Operations and from RJ Bank’s forward foreign exchange contracts contain provisions that require our debt to maintain an investment grade rating from one 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 are in a liability position at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2016 is $75 million, and $3 million, respectively, for which we have posted collateral of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, in the ordinary course of business. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, and September 30, 2016, we would have been required to post an additional $64 million and $1 million, respectively, of collateral to our counterparties.

The text of the footnotes to the table on the previous page are as follows:

(1)We are over-collateralized since the actualfair value amount of financial instruments pledged as collateral for securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse repurchase agreements”) and other collateralized financings amounts to $373$549 million and $486 million as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

(2)Derivatives - interest rate contracts are included in trading instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 1214 for additional information.

(3)Derivatives - interest rateThese contracts (in which the notional amount is denominated in Canadian currency)are associated with RJ Bank’s activities to hedge its foreign currency exposure and are included in trading instruments onprepaid expenses and other assets and trade and other payables in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 1214 for additional information.

(4)Although these derivative arrangements do not meet the definition of a master netting arrangement as specified by GAAP, the nature of the agreement with the third party intermediary include terms that are similar to a master netting agreement, thus we present the offsetting amounts net in this table. See Note 1214 for further discussion of the “pass through” structure of the derivative instruments associated with Offsetting Matched Book Derivatives Operations.

Derivatives - As of December 31, 2016,the fair value of theRJ Bank Interest Hedges are in an asset position and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  See Note 12 for additional information.

(7)(6)These contracts are associated with our RJ Bank’s activities to hedge its foreign currency exposure. As of December 31, 2016, the fair values of the forward foreign exchange contract derivatives are in a liability positionBank Interest Hedges and are included in trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of the forward foreign exchange contract derivatives are in an asset position and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 1214 for additional information.

(8)(7)The derivative arose from our fiscal year 2016 acquisition of Alex. Brown, see the discussion of the circumstances giving rise to this derivative in Note 3 on pages 127 - 129 of our 2016 Form 10-K. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, we hold 900,000 shares of DB with a fair value of $16$19 million as an economic hedge against the DBRSU obligation. As of September 30, 2016, such holdings amounted to 900,000 shares of DB with a fair value of $12 million. See additional discussion of the DBRSUs in Note 18.20.

(9)For the portion of these derivative contracts that are transacted through an exchange, the nature of the agreement with the clearing member exchange include terms that are similar to a master netting agreement, thus we are over-collateralized as of September 30, 2016 since the actual amount of cash and securities deposited with the exchange for these derivative contracts is $8 million. These deposits are a component of deposits with clearing organizations on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 12 for additional information.

The table above excludes initial margin on derivative transactions posted with clearing organizations of $25 million and $20 million as of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.  These deposits are included in deposits with clearing organizations on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 14 for additional information.
(10)Derivatives - As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of the RJ Bank Interest Hedges are in a liability position and are included in trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  See Note 12 for additional information.  The RJ Bank Interest Hedges are transacted through an exchange.  The nature of the agreement with the clearing member exchange includes terms that are similar to a master netting agreement.  As of September 30, 2016, we are over-collateralized on the RJ Bank Interest Hedges since the actual amount of cash and securities deposited with the exchange for these derivative contracts is $42 million.  These deposits are included in deposits with clearing organizations on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

For financial statement purposes, we do not offset our reverse repurchase agreements, orrepurchase agreements, securities borrowing and securities lending transactions and certain of our derivative instruments including those transacted through an exchange because the conditions for netting as specified by GAAP are not met. Our reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and securities lending transactions and certain of our derivative instruments transacted through an exchange, 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 two parties to the transaction. Although not offset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, these transactions are included in the preceding table.

Collateral and deposits with clearing organizations

We receive cash and securities as collateral, primarily in connection with Reverse Repurchase Agreements,reverse repurchase agreements and other collateralized financings, securities borrowed, derivative transactions not transacted through an exchange,a clearing organization, and client margin loans arising from our domestic operations. The cash collateral we receive is primarily associated with our OTC Derivative Operations (see Note 1214 for additional information). The collateral we receive reduces our credit exposure to individual counterparties.

Index

We also pay cash to exchanges, or receive cash from exchanges, related to derivative contracts transacted through an exchange. We account for such cash as a component of deposits with clearing organizations when such balances are in an asset position, or trade and other payables when such balances are in a liability position, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

In many cases, we are permitted to deliver or repledge financial instruments we have received as collateral, for our own use in our repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements, other secured borrowings, satisfaction of deposit requirements with clearing organizations, or otherwise meeting either our, or our clients, settlement requirements.

Repurchase agreements, repurchase-to-maturity transactions and securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings

We enter into repurchase agreements where we sell securities under agreements to repurchase (“Repurchase Agreements”) and also engage in securities lending transactions. These activities are accounted for as collateralized financings. Our Repurchase Agreementsrepurchase agreements would include “repurchase-to-maturity” agreements, which are repurchase agreements where a security is transferred under an agreement to repurchase and the maturity date of the repurchase agreement matches the maturity date of the underlying security, if any, that we are a party to as of period-end. As of both DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and September 30, 2016, we did not have any “repurchase-to-maturity” agreements. See Note 2 on pages 110 and 117, respectively, of our 2016 Form 10-K for a discussion of our respective Repurchase Agreementreverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowed and securities loaned accounting policies.

NOTE 1416 – INCOME TAXES

For discussion of income tax accounting policies and other income tax related information, see Note 2 on pages 124 - 125, and Note 20 on pages 176 - 179, of our 2016 Form 10-K.

Effective October 1, 2016, we adopted new accounting guidance related to stock compensation. The amended guidance involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences. Generally, the amount of compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes varies from the amount that can ultimately be deducted on the tax return for share-based payment awards. Under the prior guidance, the tax effects of deductions in excess of compensation expense (“windfalls”), as well as the tax effect of any deficiencies (“shortfalls”) were recorded in equity to the extent of previously recognized windfalls, with any remaining shortfall recorded in income tax expense. Under the new guidance, all tax effects related to share-based payments are recorded through tax expense in the periods during which the awards are exercised or vest, as applicable. While this simplification eliminates administrative complexities that existed under the prior guidance, it increases the volatility of income tax expense.

For the three and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, our effective income tax rate is 29.0%rates are 31.9% and 30.3%, respectively, which isare lower than the 33.9% effective tax rate for fiscal year 2016. The primary factor for the decrease in the current period effective tax rate compared to the fiscal year 2016 effective tax rate results fromwas primarily due to the favorable impact of the adoption of the new share-based payment accounting guidance described in the preceding paragraph, which had a favorable impact of 9%6% on our effective rate.rate for the six months ended

factors, such as valuation gains associated with our company-owned life insurance which are not subject to tax, and tax-exempt interest, also favorably impactimpacted our effective tax rate in the current period. The fiscal year 2016 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a number of factors or events which have not recurred in the current period.

We anticipate that the uncertain tax position liability balance may decrease by $2 million over the next twelve months as a result of the resolution of additional state tax audits.

NOTE 1517 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business we enter into commitments for either fixed income or equity underwritings. As of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, RJ&Awe had no11 open underwriting commitments. As of December 31, 2016, RJ Ltd. had five equity underwriting commitments all(in the U.S. and Canada), which were subsequently sold in open market transactions and none of which are recordedresulted in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2016, and which aggregate to approximately $6 million in Canadian currency (“CDN”).a significant loss.

As part of our recruiting efforts, we offer loans to prospective financial advisors and certain key revenue producers, primarily for recruiting, transitional cost assistance, and retention purposes (see Note 2 on pages 116 - 117 of our 2016 Form 10-K for a discussion of our accounting policies governing these transactions). These commitments are contingent upon certain events occurring including, but not limited to, the individual joining us.  As of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, we had made commitments through the extension of formal offers totaling $104$108 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 DecemberMarch 31, 2016, $702017, $76 million of the total amount extended are unfunded commitments to prospects that had accepted our offer, or recently hired producers.

On April 20, 2017, we announced we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Scout Group. We expect the closing date of this purchase transaction to occur during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. See Note 3 for more information.

As of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, RJ Bank had not settled purchases of $79$53 million in syndicated loans.  These loan purchases are expected to be settled within 90 days.

A subsidiary of RJ Bank has committed $62 million as an investor member in a low-income housing tax credit fund in which a subsidiary of RJTCF is the managing member (see the discussion of “direct investments in LIHTC project partnerships” in Note 2 on page 126 of our 2016 Form 10-K for information regarding the accounting policies governing these investments). As of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, the RJ Bank subsidiary has invested $58 million of the committed amount.

See Note 2022 for additional information regarding RJ Bank’s commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as standby letters of credit and loan purchases.

We have unfunded commitments to various venture capital or private equity partnerships, which aggregate to approximately $39 million as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017. Of the total, we have unfunded commitments to internally-sponsored private equity limited partnerships in which we control the general partner of approximately $18 million.

As part of the terms governing our fiscal year 2015 acquisition of The Producers Choice LLC (“TPC”)TPC (see Note 3 on page 129 of our 2016 Form 10-K, for additional information regarding this acquisition), on certain dates specified in the TPC purchase agreement there are a number of “earn-out” computations to be performed. The result of these computations could result in additional cash paid to the sellers of TPC inover a measurement period up to three years after the future. TheseTPC closing date (July 31, 2015). During the six months ended March 31, 2017 certain earn-out payments were measured and applicable amounts paid to the sellers of TPC. The remaining elements of contingent consideration will be finally determined in the future based upon the outcome of either specific performance of defined tasks, or the achievement of specified revenue growth hurdles, over a measurement period ranging from 18 months to 3 years after the TPC closing date.hurdles. Our initial estimate of the fair value of thesethe elements of contingent consideration as of the TPC closing date was included in our determination of the goodwill arising from this acquisition. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, we computed an estimate of the fair value of thisthe contingent consideration based upon the latest information available to us, and the excess of this fair value determination over the initial estimate is included in other expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

As a part of the terms governing the fiscal year 2016 Mummert acquisition (see Note 3 for additional information), on certain dates specified in the Mummert purchase agreement, there are earn-out computations to be performed or contingent consideration provisions that may apply. These elements of contingent consideration will be finally determined in the future based upon the achievement of specified revenue amounts and the continued employment of specified associates. Since the ultimate payment of these elements of contingent consideration are conditioned upon continued employment as of the measurement dates which are

Brown and 3Macs acquisitions, in both cases, could only resultacquisition occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017, resulting in a return to RJF of a portion of ourthe purchase price paid at closing. Gains related to this contingent consideration were recorded as a reduction to acquisition-related expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. In addition, the terms of both of these acquisitionsthe acquisition also included a post-closing date review process to potentially adjust the cash consideration paid to the respective sellers at closing, based upon the actual values of certain net assets delivered to the purchaser as of the closing date. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016, all of2017, these determinations have yet to be finalized.

RJF has committed an amount of up to $225 million, subject to certain limitations and to annual review and renewal by the RJF Board of Directors, to either lend to RJTCF or to guarantee RJTCF’s obligations, in connection with RJTCF’s low-income housing development/rehabilitation and syndication activities. At DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, RJTCF has $148$99 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 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, and the proceeds from the sales are used to repay RJTCF’s borrowings from RJF. 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, RJ&A enters into forward commitments to purchase GNMA or FNMA MBS (see the discussion of these activities within “financial instruments owned, financial instruments sold but not purchased and fair value” in Note 2 on page 112 of our 2016 Form 10-K).  At DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, RJ&A had approximately $751$783 million principal amount of outstanding forward MBS purchase commitments which are expected to be purchased over the following 90 days.  In order to hedge the market interest rate risk to which RJ&A would otherwise be exposed between the date of the commitment and the date of sale of the MBS, RJ&A enters into to be announced (“TBA”) security contracts with investors for generic MBS securities at specific rates and prices to be delivered on settlement dates in the future.  These TBA securities are accounted for at fair value and are included in Agency MBS securities in the table of assets and liabilities measured at fair value included in Note 5, and at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 aggregate to a net asset havingliability with a fair value of $6$2 million.  The estimated fair value of the purchase commitment is a $2 million liabilityasset balance as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017.

As a result of extensive regulation of financial holding companies, banks, broker-dealers and investment advisory entities, 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 censurecensures 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“Legal and regulatory matter contingencies” discussion within this footnote for information about related loss contingency reserves. See Note 1921 for additional information regarding regulatory capital requirements applicable to RJF and certain of its subsidiaries.

Guarantees

RJ Bank provides to an affiliate, RJ Capital Services, Inc. (“RJ Cap Services”), on behalf of certain corporate borrowers, a guarantee of payment in the event of the borrower’s default for exposure under interest rate swaps entered into with RJ Cap Services. At December 31, 2016, the exposure under these guarantees is $6 million, which was underwritten as part of RJ Bank’s corporate credit relationship with such borrowers.  The outstanding interest rate swaps at December 31, 2016 have maturities ranging from July 2017 through June 2039.  RJ Bank records an estimated reserve for its credit risk associated with the guarantee of these client swaps, which was insignificant as of December 31, 2016.  The estimated total potential exposure under these guarantees is $43 million at December 31, 2016.

RJ Bank guarantees the forward foreign exchange contract obligations of its U.S. subsidiaries.  See Note 12 for additional information regarding these derivatives.

RJF guarantees interest rate swap obligations of RJ Cap Services. See Note 1214 for additional information regarding interest rate swaps.

RJF guarantees the existing mortgage debt of RJ&A of approximately $32$31 million, see Note 1112 for information regarding this borrowing.

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 for securities held in client accounts up to $500 thousand per client, with a limitation of $250 thousand on claims for cash balances. We have purchased excess SIPC coverage through various syndicates of Lloyd’s (the “Excess SIPC Insurer”). For RJ&A, our clearing broker-dealer, the additional protection currently provided has an aggregate
Index

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 the Excess SIPC Insurer 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 to one or more of the funds in which RJTCF is the managing member or general partner. In some instances, RJTCF is not the primary guarantor of these obligations, which aggregate to approximately $2 million as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017.

RJTCF has provided a guaranteed return on investment to a third party investor in one of its fund offerings (“Fund 34”), and RJF has guaranteed RJTCF’s performance under the arrangement.  Under the terms of the performance guarantee, should the underlying LIHTC project partnerships held by Fund 34 fail to deliver a certain amount of tax credits and other tax benefits to this investor over the next fivesix years, RJTCF is obligated to pay the investor an amount that results in the investor achieving a minimum specified return on their investment.  A $21 million financing asset is included in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a related $21 million liability is included in trade and other payables on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 related to this obligation. The maximum exposure to loss under this guarantee is approximately $23 million at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, which represents the undiscounted future payments due the investor.

Legal and regulatory matter contingencies

In addition to the matters specifically described below, 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.

We are also subject, from time to time, to other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding our business. Such proceedings may involve, among other things, our sales and trading activities, financial products or offerings we sponsored, underwrote or sold, and operational matters. Some of these proceedings have resulted, and may in the future result, in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief and/or require us to undertake remedial actions.

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 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, 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.

With respect to matters described herein 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)Regions Financial Corporation (“Regions”)), as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, we estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible aggregate loss to be approximately $55$50 million in excess of the aggregate reserves
Index

for such matters.  Refer to Note 2 on page 123 of our 2016 Form 10-K for a discussion of our criteria for recognizing liabilities for contingencies.  

We and one of our financial advisors are named defendants in various lawsuits related to an alleged fraudulent scheme, created in 2007, conducted by Ariel Quiros (“Quiros”) and William Stenger (“Stenger”) involving the misuse of EB-5 investor funds in connection with the Jay Peak ski resort in Vermont (“Jay Peak”) and associated limited partnerships.partnerships (“Jay Peak”). Plaintiffs in the lawsuits

56

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





allege that Quiros misused $200 million of the amounts raised by the limited partnerships and misappropriated $50 million for his personal benefit. There are six civil court actions pending in which we or one of our subsidiaries are named. The plaintiffs variously demand, among other things, compensatory damages, treble damages under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) and punitive damages.
On April 13, 2017, we entered into an agreement regarding a proposed final, comprehensive settlement of all past, present and future investor claims against us relating to the Jay Peak matters (“Jay Peak matter”). Under the agreement, we would pay to the SEC-appointed receiver for the Jay Peak entities an aggregate of $150 million which includes $4.5 million previously paid in our settlement with the State of Vermont. The settlement amount, net of amounts previously paid, is included in Trade and other payables in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2017. The agreement further provides that the court will issue a bar order stipulating that no further civil actions will be commenced or prosecuted against us (other than by governmental bodies or agencies) on the basis of the events underlying the litigation. The proposed settlement is subject to court review and approval and other customary conditions. At this time, there can be no assurance that the conditions to effect the settlement will be met or that the settlement will receive the required court approval. In addition, the settlement provides us with the right to recover some of our settlement payments through sharing in proceeds of certain third-party recoveries that may be obtained by or on behalf of the receiver or the receivership entities.
Morgan Keegan Litigation

Indemnification from Regions

Under the agreement with Regions Financial Corporation (“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 RJF 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 are received prior to April 2, 2015.

The Morgan Keegan matter described below is subject to such indemnification provisions. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, management estimates the range of potential liability of all Morgan Keegan matters subject to indemnification, including the cost of defense, to be from $14$12 million to $48$45 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 DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition include an indemnification asset of approximately $34$33 million which is included in other assets, and a liability for potential losses of approximately $34$33 million which is included within trade and other payables, pertaining to the Morgan Keegan matters subject to indemnification. The amount included within trade and other payables is the amount within the range of potential liability related to such matters which management estimates is 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 and affiliates in the Circuit Court of 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 plaintiff’s stock price, so that others could profit from short positions. Plaintiffs alleged that the defendants’ actions damaged their reputations and harmed their business relationships. Plaintiffs alleged various categories of damages, including lost insurance business, lost financings and increased financing costs, increased audit fees and directors and officers insurance premiums and lost acquisitions, and have requested monetary damages. On May 11, 2012, the trial court ruled that New York law applied to plaintiff’s RICO claims, and that the claims were therefore not subject to treble damages. 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. A hearing on plaintiffs’ appeal of the court’s rulings was held on October 17, 2016. In a decision issued 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 and tortious interference with prospective business relations. The appeals court likewise affirmed the trial court's exclusion of plaintiffs' damages expert's report.

NOTE 1921 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

RJF, as a financial holding company, RJ Bank, and our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to capital requirements by various regulatory authorities. Capital levels of each entity are monitored to assess the capital positions 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.

Under capital adequacy guidelines, RJF and RJ Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. 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.

RJF and RJ Bank report regulatory capital under Basel III under the 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 in Basel III, Common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets. RJF and RJ Bank each calculate these ratios in order to assess compliance with both regulatory requirements and their internal capital policies.  Effective January 1, 2016, 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 phases in beginning on January 1, 2016 in increments of 0.625% per year until it reaches 2.5% of risk weighted assets on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is intended to be used to absorb potential losses in times of financial or economic stress. If not maintained, we could be limited in the amount of certain discretionary bonuses that may be paid and the amount of capital that may be distributed, including dividends and common equity repurchases.  As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, RJF’s and RJ Bank’s capital conservation buffers were 14.2%14.7% and 5.7%, respectively. The applicable required capital conservation buffer for each as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 was 0.625%1.25%.

The increase in RJF’s Total capital and Tier 1 capital ratios at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 compared to September 30, 2016 was primarily the result of positive earnings during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, offset by the growth of RJ Bank’s corporate loan portfolio.assets.

NOTE 2022 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

For a discussion of our financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, see Note 26 on pages 194 - 195 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

As a part of our fixed income public finance operations, RJ&A enters into forward commitments to purchase GNMA or FNMA MBS. See Note 1517 for information on these commitments. We utilize TBA security contracts to hedge our interest rate risk associated with these commitments. We are subject to loss if the timing of, or the actual amount of, the MBS securities differs significantly from the term and notional amount of the TBA security contracts we enter into.

RJ Ltd. is subject to foreign exchange risk primarily due to financial instruments denominated in U.S. dollars that may be impacted by fluctuation in foreign exchange rates. In order to mitigate this risk, RJ Ltd. enters into forward foreign exchange contracts. The fair value of these contracts is not significant. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, forward contracts outstanding to buy and sell U.S. dollars totaled CDN $7$9 million and CDN $6$10 million, respectively. RJ Bank is also subject to foreign exchange risk related to its net investment in a Canadian subsidiary. See Note 1214 for information regarding how RJ Bank utilizes net investment hedgesderivatives to mitigate a significant portion of this risk.

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 credit control assessments and each customer’s credit worthiness is evaluated on a case-
Index

by-casecase-by-case basis. Fixed-rate commitments are also subject to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and RJ Bank’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of those commitments.

Management's Discussion and Analysis


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 and regulatory developments or 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (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 overview

We operate as a financial 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, 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 include investors, borrowers, and competitors, impacting their level of participation in the financial markets. These factors also impact the level of public offerings, investment banking activity, trading profits, interest rate volatility and asset valuations, or a combination thereof.  In turn, these decisions and factors affect our business results.

Quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 compared with the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 20152016

We achieved net revenues of $1.49$1.56 billion for the quarter, a $219$252 million, or 17%19%, increase. Our pre-tax income amounted to $206$166 million, an increasea decrease of $38$33 million, or 23%16%.

After excludingDuring the $13quarter, earnings were negatively impacted by our announced settlement agreement of the Jay Peak matter, the acceleration of unamortized debt issuance costs due to the early extinguishment of senior notes, and some minor acquisition-related expenses. Excluding the aforementioned expenses, which totaled $109 million, of acquisition-related expenses we incurred during the current quarter, our adjusted pre-tax income amounted to $219$275 million,(1) an increase of 29%35%, and adjusted net income of $156amounted to $188 million,(1) reflects an increase of 45%.

Management's Discussion and Analysis


Non-interest expenses increased $284 million, or 25%. The increase primarily resulted from increased sales commission expense associated with increased securities commissions and fees revenues, and an increase in other expense due to an increase to the legal reserve related to the Jay Peak matter.

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

Our Private Client Group segment generated net revenues of $1.1 billion, a 23% increase, while pre-tax income, which was negatively impacted by the expense associated with the Jay Peak matter, decreased 65% to $29 million.  The increase in net revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in securities commissions and fees, most notably due to fee-based accounts. Account and service fee income also increased, primarily due to an increase in fees from our multi-bank sweep program, resulting from an increase in short-term interest rates and higher cash balances. Client assets under administration of the Private Client Group increased 26% over the prior year, to $611 billion at March 31, 2017. Client assets have been positively impacted by the September 2016 acquisitions of Alex. Brown and 3Macs, an increase in the equity markets, and the successful retention and recruiting of financial advisors. Non-interest expenses increased $259 million, or 32%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily resulting from an increase in sales commission expense and the expense related to the Jay Peak matter, as well as increased administrative and incentive compensation and benefits expenses to support our continued growth. The segment’s pre-tax margin on net revenues decreased to 2.7% from 9.5% in the comparable prior year quarter.

The Capital Markets segment generated net revenues of $256 million, an 8% increase, and pre-tax income increased 47%, to $41 million. The increase in net revenues was driven by significant increases in merger and acquisition and advisory fee revenues and equity underwriting fees, partially offset by lower institutional fixed income commissions. Non-interest expenses increased $6 million, or 3%, compared to the prior year quarter level, resulting from an increase in administrative and incentive compensation and benefits expense associated with the increased net revenues, offset by lower sales commission expense.

Our Asset Management segment benefited from increased client assets, generating a 20% increase in net revenues to $116 million, while pre-tax income increased $7 million, or 21%, to $38 million. The increase in net revenues primarily reflected an increase in advisory fee revenues from managed programs as assets in managed programs were higher compared with the prior year quarter. Non-discretionary asset-based administration fee revenues also increased, driven by an increase in assets held in such programs over the prior year level. Non-interest expenses increased $13 million, or 19%, compared to the prior year quarter primarily resulting from increases in investment sub-advisory fees expense and administrative and incentive compensation and benefits expense.

RJ Bank generated a 13% increase in net revenues to $141 million, while pre-tax income increased 8%, to $92 million. The increase in pre-tax income resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by higher affiliate deposit fees paid to the Private Client Group due to the increase in balances. The increase in net interest income was the result of a significant increase in average interest-earning assets.

Activities in our Other segment reflect a pre-tax loss that is $5 million, or 18%, more than the loss in the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in other expense as a result of the accelerated expense associated with the March 2017 early extinguishment of our senior notes, combined with higher interest expense related to an increase in senior notes payable as a result of our July 2016 offering. Total revenues in the segment increased $6 million, or 62%, due primarily to private equity valuation gains.

Our effective tax rate was 31.9% in the current quarter, down from the 36.5% in the prior year. The reduction in our effective tax rate compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the favorable impact of the change in the amount of nontaxable gains arising from the value of our company-owned life insurance portfolio as a result of an increase in equity market values.

Six months ended March 31, 2017 compared with the six months ended March 31, 2016

We achieved net revenues of $3.1 billion, a $470 million, or 18%, increase. Our pre-tax income amounted to $372 million, an increase of $5 million, or 1%. Our net income of $259 million reflects an increase of $27 million, or 12%, and our earnings per diluted share amounted to $1.77, an 11% increase.

During the six months ended March 31, 2017, earnings were impacted negatively by the previously announced Jay Peak matter, acquisition-related expenses and the acceleration of unamortized debt issuance costs due to the early extinguishment of

our senior notes. After excluding the current year impact of these expenses, which totaled $152 million on a pre-tax basis, our adjusted pre-tax income amounted to $524 million,(1) an increase of 40%, and adjusted net income amounted to $365 million,(1) an increase of 54%. Adjusted earnings per diluted share amounted to $2.49,(1) a 53% increase.

Net revenues increased in each of our four operating segments. Non-interest expenses increased $466 million, or 21%. The increase primarily results from increased sales commission expense and incentive compensation expense associated with increased net revenues, increased administrative compensation expense to support our continued growth, and an increase in legal reserves for the Jay Peak matter. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in the loan loss provision resulting primarily from lower corporate criticized loans.loan growth. In addition, we benefited from an $18a $21 million favorable impact to income tax expense related to the combination of the adoption of new accounting guidance associated with stock compensation (See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on the adoption of new accounting guidance). and the favorable impact of the increased equity market values on the change in the amount of our nontaxable gains/losses arising from the value of our company-owned life insurance portfolio.

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

Our Private Client Group segment generated net revenues of $1.04$2.1 billion, a 19%21% increase, while pre-tax income, increased 6%negatively impacted by the expense associated with the Jay Peak matter, decreased 33% to $73$103 million.  The increase in net revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in securities commissions and fees, notablyprimarily related to fee-based accounts. Client assets under administration of the Private Client Group increased 24% over the prior year, to $585.6 billion at December 31, 2016. Client assets have been positively impacted by the acquisitions of Alex. Brown and 3Macs and an increase in the equity markets, as well as successful retention and recruiting of financial advisors. Non-interest expenses increased $164$422 million, or 20%26%, compared to the prior year quarter,period, primarily resulting from an increase in sales commission expense, increased legal reserves related to the Jay Peak matter and increased administrative and incentive compensation and benefits expense as well as an increase in legal expenses, the majority of which is related to a single matter.expense. The segment’s pre-tax margin on net revenues decreased to 7.1%4.8% from 7.9%8.7% in the comparable prior year quarter.period.

The Capital Markets segment generated net revenues of $233$489 million, a 3%5% increase, while pre-tax income decreased $4 million, or 15%,increased 18% to $21$63 million. Institutional commissions increased $9 million, or 7%.

Non-interest expenses increased $12$18 million, or 6%4%, compared to the prior year quarter level,period, primarily resulting from an increase in administrative and incentive compensation and benefits expense.expense related to higher net revenues.

Our Asset Management segment benefited from increased client assets, generating a 14%17% increase in net revenues to $114$231 million, while pre-tax income increased $9 million, or 26%,24% to $42$80 million. AdvisoryThe increase in net revenues primarily reflected an increase in advisory fee revenues from managed programs increased by $8 million, or 11%, compared to the prior year quarter as financial assets under management in managed programs increased 18% to $84.5 billion as of December 31, 2016.compared with the prior year. Non-discretionary asset-based administration fee revenues also increased, by $4 million, or 21%, driven by an increase in assets held in such programs over the prior year level to $123.9 billion as of December 31, 2016.level. Non-interest expenses increased $5$18 million, or 8%14%, compared to the prior year quarterperiod primarily resulting from increased investment sub-advisory fees expense.

RJ Bank generated a 27%20% increase in net revenues to $138$279 million, while pre-tax income increased $38 million, or 58%,30% to $104 million.$196 million. The increase in pre-tax income resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses. Net interest income increased due to growth in the average loans outstanding as well asand an increase in the net interest margin. The decrease in the provision for loan losses as compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to the current period reflecting a net benefit from sales, repayments and related recoveries of certain corporate criticized loans.

Activities in our Other segment reflect a pre-tax loss that is $9$15 million, or 37%27%, more than the prior year, period.primarily due to an increase in other expense as a result of the accelerated expense associated with the March 2017 early extinguishment of our senior notes, combined with higher interest expense related to an increase in senior notes payable. Total revenues in the segment increased $11$17 million, or 251%120%, due primarily to private equity valuation gains. Interest expense increased $6 million, or 31%, due to an increase in senior notes payable compared to the prior year period. Acquisition-related expenses of $13 million are reflected in this segment, a significant increase compared to the prior year period.

Our effective tax rate was 29.0%30.3% in the current quarter,year, down significantly from the 36.8%36.6% in the prior year quarter.year. The reduction in our effective tax rate compared to the prior year period was due to the favorable impact resulting fromof the adoption of new accounting guidance regarding the stock compensation which decreased our effective tax rate by 9%.accounting guidance. Under this new guidance, all tax effects related to share-based payments are recorded through tax expense in the periods during which the awards are exercised or vest, as applicable, instead of being recorded directly to equity.

Management's Discussion and Analysis



The number and significance of possible regulatory changes that impact the businesses in which we operate continues to grow and evolve. In April 2016, the DOL issued its final regulation expanding the definition of who is deemed an “investment advice fiduciary” under ERISA as a result of giving investment advice to a plan, plan participant or beneficiary, as well as under the Internal Revenue Code for individual retirement accounts and non-ERISA plans. While the impact of these regulatory changes is more uncertain under the new administration, we continue to prepare for such changes in their current form. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the initial phase-in of the fiduciary definition was delayed by 60 days to June 2017, while full implementation is still scheduled for January 1, 2018. Refer to the “Fiduciary Duty Standard” section of Item 1 “Regulation” in our 2016 Form 10-K for further discussion of the regulation its effective dates, and its potential impact.


Segments

We currently operate through four operating segments and our “Other” segment. The four operating segments are: Private Client Group (or “PCG”);PCG; Capital Markets; Asset Management; and RJ Bank. The Other segment captures principal capital and private equity activities as well as certain corporate overhead costs of RJF that are not allocated to operating segments, including the interest cost on our public debt and the acquisition and integration costs associated with our acquisitions, includingsuch as costs associated with our fiscal year 2016 acquisitions of Mummert, Alex. Brown, and 3Macs (see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information).

Reconciliation of the GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures (Unaudited)

We utilize certain non-GAAP calculations as additional measures to aid in, and enhance, the understanding of our financial results.results and related measures. We believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information by excluding certain material items that may not be indicative of our core operating results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures will allow for better evaluation of the operating performance of the business and facilitate a meaningful comparison of our results in the current period to those in prior and future periods. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies.

The non-GAAP adjustments are comprised entirely of acquisition-related expenses (associated with our acquisitions of Alex. Brown, 3Macs and Mummert) net of applicable taxes. Our acquisition-related expenses are incremental expenses arising solely as a result of the acquisition, which do not represent recurring costs within the fully integrated combined organization. See the footnotes below for further explanation of each item.

Net interest analysis

In both December 2016 and 2015, theThe Federal Reserve Bank announced increases in its benchmark short-term interest rate of 25 basis points. At the current low level of short-term rates, changespoints in both March 2017 and December 2016. Increases in short-term interest rates such as these are likely to have a meaningfulan impact on our overall financial performance, as we have certain assets and liabilities, primarily held in our PCG and RJ Bank segments, which are subject to changes in interest rates. Given the relationship of our interest sensitive assets to liabilities held in each of these segments, increases in short-term interest rates including the mid-December 2016 rate increase, result in an overall increase in our net earnings.  GradualWe anticipate that gradual increases in short-term interest rates would have the most significant favorable impact on our PCG and RJ Bank segments (refer to the table in Item 3 - Interest Rate Risk in this Form 10-Q, which presents an analysis of RJ Bank’s estimated net interest income over a twelve month period based on instantaneous shifts in interest rates using the asset/liability model applied by RJ Bank).

Domestic client cash sweep balances of $46$45.8 billion at March 31, 2017 increased $9$7 billion, or 24%18%, from the December 2015March 31, 2016 balances of $37$38.7 billion. Our client cash sweep balances are deposited or invested in the RJBDP, client interest program and and/or money market funds, depending on the clients’ elections. We estimate that the mid-December 2016 short-term interest rate increase in March 2017 of 25 basis points had a favorable impact on this quarter’s results of $3 million and will have a favorable impact on our pre-tax income of an incremental $15 million to $20 million on a quarterly basis.basis for the remaining half of fiscal year 2017. This estimate is based on several assumptions. Such assumptions include:These include the amount and timing of increases in the earning/deposit rates paid on our clients’ cash balances, which is dependent on several factors including, but not limited to the competitive environment; client cash balance levels; the level of earning assets;assets, and RJ Bank’s net interest margin. Any impact to our results of operations as a result of future short-term interest rate increases will likely be limited to the firm’s interest earning assets.

If the Federal Reserve Bank was to reverse its December 2016 actionprevious actions and decrease the benchmark short-term interest rate, the impact on our net interest income would be an unfavorable reversal of the positive impact described above.

(4)Net of affiliate deposit balances and interest expense associated with affiliate deposits.

Net interest income increased $23 million, or 18%, over the prior year quarter. Net interest income is earned primarily by our RJ Bank and PCG segments, which are discussed separately below.

The RJ Bank segment’s net interest income increased $17 million, or 14%, resulting from an increase in average loans outstanding as compared to the prior year quarter as well as an increase in average cash and available for sale investment balances. Refer to the discussion of the specific components of RJ Bank’s net interest income in the RJ Bank section of this MD&A.

Net interest income in the PCG segment increased $9 million, or 37%. Segregated asset balances increased, driven by the increase in average customer cash balances compared to the prior year quarter. The net interest earned on these segregated asset balances increased as a result of the March 2017 and December 2016 Federal Reserve Bank increases in short-term interest rates. Client margin balances outstanding increased compared to the prior year quarter but the favorable impact on net interest was partially offset by lower average client margin interest rates (resulting from higher average balances).

Interest expense incurred on our senior notes increased by $5 million, or 24%, as the average outstanding balance of senior notes increased compared to the prior year quarter. The net increase in the balance outstanding is due to our July 2016 issuance of $800 million in senior notes, offset by the April 2016 maturity and repayment of $250 million of senior notes, and to a far lesser extent, the March 2017 repayment of $350 million senior notes.

Total PCG assets under administration increased 24%26% over DecemberMarch 31, 2015,2016, primarily resulting from our thirdfourth quarter 2016 acquisitions of Alex. Brown and 3Macs, which3Macs. These acquisitions resulted in a combined $50 billion of client asset inflows as of their respective acquisition closing dates,inflows. In addition, we had net client inflows attributable to strong financial advisor recruiting results and high levels of retention of our existing financial advisors, as well as market appreciation. Total PCG assets in fee-based accounts increased 26%33% compared to DecemberMarch 31, 2015.2016. Increased client assets under administration typically result in higher fee-based account revenues and mutual fund and annuity service fees. In periods where equity markets improve, assets under administration and client activity generally increase, thereby having a favorable impact on financial advisor productivity. Generally, assets under administration, client activity, and financial advisor productivity decline in periods where equity markets reflect downward trends. Higher client cash balances generally lead to increased interest income and account fee revenues, depending upon spreads realized in our client interest program and RJBDP.

(1)During the periodsix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, we refined the criteria to determine our financial advisor population, which resulted in a decrease in our previously reported counts of approximately 100 advisors as of our date of adoption. The impact of the change in our methodology did not have a significant impact on the prior periods, and thus we have not revised the number of financial advisors reported in prior periods.

Quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 compared with the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 20152016 – Private Client Group

Net revenues increased $168$205 million, or 19%23%, to $1.04$1.1 billion. Pre-tax income increased $4decreased $54 million,, or 6%65%, to $73$29 million. PCG’s pre-tax margin on net revenues decreased to 7.1%2.7% as compared to the prior year quarter’s 7.9%9.5%.

Securities commissions and fees increased $129$155 million,, or 18%21%A significant portionThe increased commission and fee revenues, which are related to client assets, benefited from strong market conditions and the addition of this increase results from the Alex. Brown and 3Macs acquisitions completedin late in fiscal year 2016. Revenues earned on fee-based accounts, increased $101 million, or 27%, commissions on equity products, increased $18 million, or 29%, new issue sales credits, increased $7 million, or 71%, and commissions on fixed income products, increased $6 million, or 25%. Offsetting these increases,and commissions on mutual funds decreased $3 million, or 2%.all increased. Client assets under administration increased to $585.6$611.0 billion, an increase of $112.5$125.4 billion, or 24%26%, compared to DecemberMarch 31, 2015.2016. The year over year increase in client assets was driven not only by positive net inflows due to the Alex. Brown and 3Macs acquisitions but also by positive net inflows generated by financial advisor retention and successful recruiting results, as well as market appreciation.

Total account and service fees increased $33$40 million, or 28%32%. The majority of this increase wasis due to client account and service fees, which increased $25$31 million, or 53%, primarily due to an increase in RJBDP fees resulting from increased average balances in the program, as well as an increase in additionapplicable program rates in response to a full quarter’s impact of the December 2015 interest rate increase of 25 basis points and, to a lesser extent,increases by the mid-December 2016 interest rate increase of 25 basis points.Federal Reserve Bank.

NetAs previously discussed, net interest income in the PCG segment increased $7$9 million, or 33%37%. Average customer cash balances and the related segregated asset balances increased compared to the prior year quarter. In addition to a full quarter’s impact of the December 2015 interest rate increase of 25 basis points and, to a lesser extent, the mid-December 2016 interest rate increase of 25 basis points, the net interest earned on these segregated asset balances also increased. Average client margin interest rates decreased compared to the prior year quarter but the negative impact on net interest was partially offset by an increase in average balances outstanding.
 
Non-interest expenses increased $164$259 million, or 20%32%.  Sales commission expense increased $103$113 million, or 19%21%, in line with the 18% increase in commissioncommissions and feefees revenue. Clearance and Other expense increased $106 million, or 582%, primarily related to increased legal reserves for the Jay Peak matter. Administrative and incentive compensation and benefits expense increased $28$25 million, or 19%17%, primarily resulting from annual increases in salary expenses, increases in employee benefit plan costs and additional staffing levels, primarily in operations and information technology functions, to support our continued growth.

Six months ended March 31, 2017 compared with the six months ended March 31, 2016 – Private Client Group

Net revenues increased $373 million, or 21%, to $2.1 billion. Pre-tax income decreased $50 million, or 33%, to $103 million. PCG’s pre-tax margin on net revenues decreased to 4.8% as compared to the prior year’s 8.7%.

Securities commissions and fees increased $284 million, or 20%.  The increased commission and fee revenues, for all product types, were driven by a variety of factors, including strong recruiting results and the acquisitions of Alex. Brown and 3Macs in late fiscal 2016.

Total account and service fees increased $73 million, or 30%. The majority of this increase was due to client account and service fees, which increased $56 million, or 53%, primarily due to an increase in RJBDP fees resulting from increased average balances in the program, as well as an increase in applicable program rates in response to the short-term interest rate increases during the current fiscal year. Mutual fund and annuity service fees increased $16 million, or 13%, primarily as a result of an increase in education and marketing support (“EMS”) fees and mutual fund omnibus fees, which are paid to us by the mutual fund companies whose products we distribute. The increase in EMS fees is primarily due to increased fees pursuant to schedules in existing contracts, new contracts for certain existing fund families, and new fund families joining the program. Omnibus fees are generally based on the number of positions held in our client portfolios. Increases in such revenues are a result of increases in the number of positions invested in existing fund families on the omnibus platform, as well as new fund families joining the omnibus program.

Total segment revenues increased 21%. The portion of total segment revenues that we consider to be recurring is 78% at March 31, 2017, a slight increase from 77% at March 31, 2016.  Recurring commission and fee revenues include asset-based fees, trailing commissions from mutual funds and variable annuities/insurance products, mutual fund and annuity service fees, fees earned on funds in our multi-bank sweep program, and interest.

As previously discussed, net interest income in the PCG segment increased $17 million, or 35%.

Non-interest expenses increased $422 million, or 26%.  Sales commission expense increased $215 million, or 20%, in line with the increase in commissions and fees revenue. Clearance and other expense increased $139 million, or 320%, primarily due to increased legal reserves for the Jay Peak matter. Administrative and incentive compensation and benefits expense increased $53 million, or 18%, primarily resulting from additional staffing levels, primarily in operations and information technology functions, to support our continued growth. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $4$10 million, or 13%16%, due to additional office relatedspace expenses relating toresulting from the acquisition of Alex. Brown. Clearance and other expense increased $32 million, or 129%, primarily resulting from an increase in legal expense, most of which is related a single matter. Offsetting the increases, business development expense decreased $3 million, or 10%, due to lower incoming account transfer fee expenses as well as decreases in conference and other travel-related expenses.

loan losses). The increase in net revenues was attributable to a $28$17 million increase in net interest income andpartially offset by a $2$1 million increase decrease in other income.
 
The $28$17 million increase in net interest income was the result of a $3$2.5 billion increase in average interest-earning banking assets and an increase in the net interest margin.assets. The increase in average interest-earning banking assets was driven by a $2.1$2.0 billion increase in average loans and ana $537 million net increase of $887 million in average cash and available for sale investments. The increase in average loans was comprised of a $1.2$1.0 billion, or 12%10%, increase in average corporate loans, a $517$627 million, or 25%30%, increase in average residential mortgage loans, and a $396$367 million, or 25%22%, increase in average SBL balances. The net interest margin increaseddecreased to 3.06%3.08% from 2.90%3.09% due to an increase in the average interest-earning banking assets yield, which was partially offset by an increase in total cost of funds. The increase in the yield of the average interest-earning banking assets to 3.21% from 3.02% was the result of an increase in the loan portfolio yield to 3.47% from 3.17%, partially offset by the impact of the increase in lower-yielding average cash balances. The increase in the loan portfolio yield was due to significant corporate loan growth, higher corporate loan fee income and to a lesser extent an increase in interest rates. The total cost of funds increased to 0.16%0.18% from 0.13%0.17% due to an increase in deposit and borrowing costs, which includes additional expense from our interest rate hedging activities. Borrowing costs increased to 1.94%2.02% from 1.44%1.81%. The yield of the average interest-earning banking assets was flat at 3.24%, which was the result of an increase in the yield on cash due to the 25 basis point rise in the Federal Reserve Bank’s benchmark short-term interest rate in December 2016, offset by a decline in the loan portfolio yield to 3.51% from 3.54% and a decline in the investments yield to 1.87% from 1.93%.

Corresponding to the increase in average interest-earning banking assets, average interest-bearing banking liabilities increased $2.9$2.4 billion to $16$16.7 billion.

The decrease in the provision for loan losses as compared to the prior year was primarily due to the current period reflecting a net benefitlower corporate loan growth versus the prior year and improved credit characteristics including the continued decline in total nonperforming loans and residential mortgage loan delinquencies. The positive impact from these improved credit characteristics was partially offset by corporate loan downgrades and charge-offs from the resolution of certain corporate criticized loans. Also, the prior period reflected an additional $5 million provision for criticized loans outstanding in the energy sector, which did not recur in the current period. The provision for loan losses also reflects improved credit characteristics such as the continued decline in residential mortgage loan delinquencies and nonperforming loans.
Non-interest expenses (excluding provision for loan losses) increased $6$11 million as compared to the prior year quarter. This increase included a $2$6 million increase in affiliate deposit account servicing fees due to an increase in client accountsaccount balances, a $2 million increase in compensation and benefits resulting from salary increases and additional staffing levels, and a $1 million increase in FDIC insurance premiums resulting from the increase in deposit balances. Other increases in non-interest expense included a $1 million increase in compensation

Explanation of the footnotes to the table on the preceding page:

(1)
Nonaccrual loans are included in the average loan balances. Payment or income received on corporate nonaccrual loans are applied to principal. Income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized on a cash basis. Fee income on loans included in interest income for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and 20152016 was $9$10 million and $4$11 million, respectively.

(2)The yield is presented on a tax-equivalent basis utilizing the federal statutory tax rate of 35%.

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning banking assets and liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on RJ Bank’s interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on its 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 applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

Six months ended March 31, 2017 compared with the six months ended March 31, 2016 – RJ Bank

Net revenues increased $46 million, or 20%, to $279 million. Pre-tax income increased $45 million, or 30%, to $196 million.  

The increase in pre-tax income was primarily attributable to the increase in net revenues and a decrease of $17 million, or 71%, in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $17 million, or 29%, increase in non-interest expenses (excluding provision for loan losses). The increase in net revenues was attributable to a $45 million increase in net interest income.

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


The $45 million increase in net interest income was the result of a $2.8 billion increase in average interest-earning banking assets and an increase in net interest margin. The increase in average interest-earning banking assets was driven by a $2.0 billion increase in average loans and a $714 million increase in average cash and available for sale investments. The increase in average loans was comprised of a $1.1 billion, or 11%, increase in average corporate loans, a $571 million, or 27%, increase in average residential mortgage loans, and a $382 million, or 24%, increase in average SBL balances. The net interest margin increased to 3.07% from 3.00% due to an increase in the average interest-earning asset yield to 3.22% from 3.14% compared to the prior year, partially offset by an increase in the total cost of funds to 0.17% from 0.15%. The increase in the average interest-earning banking assets yield was primarily due to an increase in the loan portfolio yield to 3.49% from 3.36% resulting from an overall rise in interest rates as compared to the prior year as well as higher corporate loan fee income. The increase in the total cost of funds primarily resulted from an increase in deposit and borrowing costs, which includes additional expense from our interest rate hedging activities. Borrowing costs increased to 1.98% from 1.63%.

Corresponding to the increase in average interest-earning banking assets, average interest-bearing banking liabilities increased $2.7 billion to$16.3 billion.

The decrease in the provision for loan losses as compared to the prior year was primarily due to significantly higher corporate loan growth during the prior year and additional provision during the prior year resulting from loans outstanding within the energy sector, which did not recur in the current year. The provision for loan losses also reflects improved credit characteristics including the continued decline in total nonperforming loans and in residential mortgage loan delinquencies.
Non-interest expenses (excluding provision for loan losses) increased $17 million as compared to the prior year. The current year expense included an $8 million increase in affiliate deposit account servicing fees due to an increase in client account balances and a $2 million increase in FDIC insurance premiums resulting from the increase in deposit balances. Other increases in non-interest expense included a $2 million increase in compensation and benefits resulting from salary increases and staff additions, a $1 million increase in equity losses related to RJ Bank’s investment in low income housing tax credit projects, and a $1 million increase in expense related to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments.

Explanation of the footnotes to the table on the preceding page:

(1)Nonaccrual loans are included in the average loan balances. Payment or income received on corporate nonaccrual loans are applied to principal. Income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized on a cash basis. Fee income on loans included in interest income for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was$19 million and $15 million, respectively.

(2)The yield is presented on a tax-equivalent basis utilizing the federal statutory tax rate of 35%.

Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning banking assets and liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table shows the effect that these factors had on the interest earned on RJ Bank’s interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on its 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 applicable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

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 market environments.

Senior management establishes our liquidity and capital policies. These policies include senior management’s review of short- and long-term cash flow forecasts, review of monthly capital expenditures, the monitoring of the availability of alternative sources of financing, and the 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 as well as maintains our relationships with various lenders. The objectives of these policies are 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis



Cash provided by operating activities during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 was $808 million.$1.1 billion. Cash generated by successful operating results over the period resulted in a $236$448 million increase in cash.  

Increases in cash from operations include:
A $1.02$1.05 billion decrease in assets segregated pursuant to regulations and other segregated assets, primarily resulting from the decrease in client cash balances described below.
Securities trading inventories decreased $193$174 million.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell,
Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $159 million.
Proceeds from sales of securitizations and loans held for sale, net of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, decreased $122 million.purchases and originations, resulted in a $78 million increase.
A decrease in our brokerage client receivables and other receivables of $91 million.
Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $86$23 million.
Proceeds from sales and securitizations of loans held for sale, net of purchases and originations, resulted in a $35 million increase.
Index


Offsetting these, decreases in cash used in operations resulted from:
A decrease of $508$431 million in brokerage client payables and other accounts payable, in part, reflecting a decrease in client cash balances in our client interest program.
Stock loan, net of stock borrowed decreased $233$235 million.
Accrued compensation, commissions and benefits decreased $218$108 million, primarily resulting from the annual payment of certain incentive awards.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell, net of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, decreased $36 million
Loans to financial advisors, net of repayments, increased resulting in the use of $14$34 million in cash to fund loans as a result of strong recruiting results.

Investing activities resulted in the use of $1.11$1.94 billion of cash during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.  

The primary investing activities were:
An increase in bankRJ Bank loans used $728$997 million.  
Purchases of available for sale investments held at RJ Bank, net of proceeds from maturations, repayments and sales within the portfolio, used $313$863 million.
We used $79$123 million to fund property investments. Of this total, $52 million results fromwas used for our December 2016 purchase of three office buildings providing 300,000 square feet in total additional office space capacity, which are located adjacent to our existing corporate headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida. We believe that this additional office space provides us the capacity we need to support our expected growth for five to ten years. The remainder was invested in software and computer equipment.
Other investments provided $17$51 million.

Financing activities provided $1.20$1.86 billion of cash during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.  

Increases in cash from financing activities resulted from:
RJ Bank deposit balances provided $927 million.$2.1 billion.
Proceeds of $208$50 million from a net increase in our short-term borrowings.
Proceeds of $100 million from FHLB borrowings.
Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchases provided $24$44 million.

Offsetting these, decreases in cash from financing activities resulted from:
Repayment of $350 million of senior notes.
Payment of dividends to our shareholders of $31$63 million.
Purchases of treasury stock of $2629 million, most of which resultingresulted from the repurchase of shares when employees surrender shares as payment for option exercises or withholding taxes.

The effect of currency exchange rates on our cash balances has resulted in a $26$36 million decrease in our U.S. dollar denominated cash balance during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017. This effect is primarily attributable to cash balances we have that are denominated in Canadian currency. The Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate decreased 2%1.4% since September 30, 2016, which has a negative impact on this measure, themeasure. The amount of our cash balance denominated in Canadian currency also increased during the period.

We believe our existing assets, most of which are liquid in nature, together with funds generated from operations and committed and uncommitted financing facilities should provide adequate funds for continuing operations at current levels of activity.

(1)RJF maintains a depository account at RJ Bank which has a balance of $398$252 million as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017. This cash balance is reflected in the RJF total, and is excluded from the RJ Bank total, since this balance is available to RJF on-demand and without restriction.

(2)RJF has loaned $759$666 million to RJ&A as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 (such amount is included in the RJ&A cash balance presented in this table), which RJ&A has invested on behalf of RJF in cash and cash equivalents or otherwise deployed in its normal business activities.

In addition to the cash balances described above, we have other various potential sources of liquidity which are described as follows.

Liquidity Available from Subsidiaries

Liquidity is principally available to the parent company from RJ&A and RJ Bank.

RJ&A is required to maintain net capital equal to the greater of $1 million or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from client transactions. Covenants in RJ&A’s committed secured financing facilities require its net capital to be a minimum of 10% of aggregate debit items.  At DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, RJ&A significantly exceeded both the minimum regulatory and its financing covenants net capital requirements. At that date, RJ&A had excess net capital of approximately $509$424 million, of which approximately $175$82 million is available for dividend while still maintaining the internally targeted net capital ratio of 15% of aggregate debit items.  There are also limitations on the amount of dividends that may be declared by a broker-dealer without Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approval.

RJ Bank may pay dividends to the parent company 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 to risk-weighted assets ratios. At DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, RJ Bank had approximately $169$161 million of capital in excess of the amount it would need at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 to maintain its targeted total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 12.5%, 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 amounts described above and, in certain instances, may be subject to regulatory requirements.

(1)We generally utilize the RJ&A facilities to finance a portion of our fixed income securities trading instruments.

(2)Our ability to borrow is dependent upon compliance with the conditions in the various committed loan agreements and collateral eligibility requirements. 

(3)Lenders are under no contractual obligation to lend to us under uncommitted credit facilities.

(4)This financing arrangement is primarily denominated in Canadian dollars, amounts presented in the table have been converted to U.S. dollars at the currency exchange rate in effect as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.

(5)As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, we had outstanding borrowings under six uncommitted secured borrowing arrangements with lenders.

The committed financing arrangements are in the form of tri-party repurchase agreements, or in the case of the RJF Credit Facility, an unsecured line of credit.  The uncommitted financing arrangements are in the form of secured lines of credit, secured bilateral or tri-party repurchase agreements, or unsecured lines of credit.

In May 2017, RJF’s Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity date from August 2020 to May 2022.

RJ Bank had $675 million in FHLB borrowings outstanding at DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, comprised of floating-rate advances totaling $650 million and a $25 million fixed-rate advance, all of which are secured by a blanket lien on RJ Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio (see Note 1112 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding these borrowings). RJ Bank has an additional $1.1$1.2 billion in immediate credit available from the FHLB as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and total available credit of 30% of total assets, with the pledge of additional collateral to the FHLB, total available credit of 30% of total assets. In April 2017, RJ Bank borrowed an additional $100 million variable-rate advance from the FHLB.

RJ Bank is eligible to participate in the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Fed”)Fed’s discount-window program; however, RJ Bank doeswe do not view borrowings from the Fed 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, and would be secured by pledged C&I loans.

From time to time we purchase short-term securities underreverse repurchase agreements to resell (“Reverse Repurchase Agreements”) and sell securities under agreements to repurchase (“Repurchase Agreements”).agreements.  We account for each of these types of transactions as collateralized financings with the outstanding balances on the Repurchase Agreementsrepurchase agreements included in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, collateralized financings (uncommitted secured agreements) outstanding balances in the amount of $203$222 million (which are reflected in the table of financing arrangements above) are included in securities sold under agreements to repurchase on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition included in this Form 10-Q. Of this total, outstanding balances on committed and uncommitted secured agreements (which are reflected in the table of financing arrangements above) were $30 million and $173 million as of December 31, 2016, respectively. Such financings are generally collateralized by non-customer, RJ&A owned securities.  The required market value of the collateral associated with the committed secured facilities ranges from 102% to 140%125% of the amount financed.

At DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, in addition to the financing arrangements described above, we had $32$31 million outstanding on a mortgage loan for our St. Petersburg, Florida home-office complex, which we include in other borrowings in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition included in this Form 10-Q.

At DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, we have senior notes payable of $1.70$1.3 billion. Our senior notes payable, exclusive of any unaccreted premiums or discounts and unamortized debt issuance costs, is comprised of $300 million par 8.60% senior notes due 2019, $250 million par 5.625% senior notes due 2024, $500 million par 3.625% senior notes due 2026, $350 million par 6.90% senior notes due 2042, and $300 million par 4.95% senior notes due 2046. See Note 17 pages 167 - 16813 of our 2016the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K10-Q for additional information on our senior notes payable.

On May 5, 2017, we announced the issuance of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior notes through the reopening of our July 2016 $300 million of 4.95% senior notes due 2046, in a registered public offering. The notes are treated as a single series with the July 2016 notes and have the same terms. The aggregate net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses, are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Our current senior long-term debt ratings as of the most current report are:
Rating AgencyRating Outlook
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”)(1)
BBBBBB+ PositiveStable
Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”)(2)
Baa2 Positive

(1)The S&P rating and outlook are as presented in their September 2016 report.

On May 4, 2017 S&P upgraded our senior long-term debt rating from BBB to BBB+ with a change in the outlook from positive to stable. Additionally, on April 17, 2017, Moody’s placed RJF’s rating on review for upgrade.
(2)The Moody’s rating and outlook are as presented in their December 2016 report.

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 our 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 pursue obtainingobtain 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 1214 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information). A credit downgrade could create a reputational issue and could also result in certain counterparties limiting their business with us, result in negative comments by analysts and potentially impact investor perception of us, and resultantly impact our stock price and/or our clients’ perception of us. A credit downgrade would result in RJF incurring a higher commitment fee on any unused balance on one of its borrowing arrangements, the $300 million revolving 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 wouldcould have a favorable

Statement of financial condition analysis

The assets on our condensed consolidated statement of financial condition consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents (a large portion of which is segregated for the benefit of clients), receivables including bank loans, financial instruments held for either trading purposes or as investments, and other assets.  A significant portion of our assets are liquid in nature, providing us with flexibility in financing our business.  

Total assets of $31.7$32.9 billion at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 are approximately $182 million,$1.4 billion, or 1%5% greater than our total assets as of September 30, 2016. Our cash and cash equivalents balances increased $878$986 million; refer to the discussion of the components of this increase in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section within this Item 2. Net bank loans receivable increased $618 million primarily due to the growth of RJ Bank’s corporate loan portfolio during the current period. Our available for sale securitysecurities portfolio increased by $304$855 million, as RJ Bank increased their investments in such securities during the period. Net bank loans receivable increased $784 million primarily due to the growth of RJ Bank’s residential and corporate loan portfolios during the period. Offsetting thethese increases, assets segregated pursuant to federal regulations (for the benefit of our clients) decreased $1.02$1.1 billion, in part due to a significant number of client accounts from the September 2016 Alex.

Contractual obligations

AsOn March 15, 2017, we redeemed all of our outstanding 6.90% Senior Notes due 2042. The aggregate principal amount of the 6.90% Senior Notes was $350 million. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the redemption of these senior notes.

DecemberOther than the item described above, as of March 31, 20162017 and since September 30, 2016, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations presented on pages 70 - 71 of our 2016 Form 10-K, other than in the ordinary course of business. See Note 1517 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, for additional information regarding certain commitments as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017.


Regulatory

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the description of the regulatory framework applicable to the financial services industry and relevant to us as described in the Regulation section of Item 1 on pages 10 - 15 of our 2016 Form 10-K, and the Regulatory section on pages 71 - 72 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

We continue to maintain a number of private equity investments, some of which meet the definition of “covered funds” and therefore are subject to certain limitations under the covered funds provisions of the Volcker Rule. The amount of future investments of this nature that we may make will necessarily be limited in order to maintain compliance levels specified bywith the Volcker Rule. The extension ofIn its July 2016 announcement extending the conformance deadline to July 21, 2017, provides us additional time to realize the value of many of our investments in their due course and assess what we expect to remain in our portfolio at the conformance deadline in the context of the new regulations and execute appropriate strategies to be in conformance with the Volcker Rule at such time. Additionally, in its July 2016 announcement of the extension of the conformance deadline, the Fed indicated that upon the application of a banking entity, the Fedit is permitted to provide up to an additional five years to conform investments in certain illiquid funds, where the banking entity had a contractual commitment to invest in the fund as of May 1, 2010. As manythe majority of our “covered fund” investments meet the criteria to be considered an illiquid fund under the Volcker Rule, we have submitted a request to extend the conformance period for these investments. During the quarter ending March 31, 2017, we received approval from the Fed to continue to hold these investments for up to an additional five-year conformance period, thereby extending their applicable holding period until July 2022 for such investments. The extension of the conformance deadline provides us additional time to realize the value of many of our investments. This request compliedinvestments in due course, to assess what we expect to remain in our portfolio at the conformance deadline and to execute appropriate strategies to comply with the December 9, 2016 guidance provided byVolcker Rule at such time.

Other than as described in the preceding paragraph, thereparagraphs, we are nonot aware of additional updates to any of the other applicable aspects ofinformation concerning the regulatory environment in which we conduct our businesses, as described on pages 10 - 15 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

See Note 1921 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information on regulatory and capital requirements.

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. For a description of our accounting policies, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 108 - 127 of our 2016 Form 10-K, as well as Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, understanding these critical accounting estimates is important in understanding the reported results of our operations and our financial position.

Valuation of financial instruments, investments and other assets

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.

102

Management's Discussion and Analysis


See Note 2 on pages 110 - 116 of our 2016 Form 10-K for a discussion of our fair value accounting policies regarding financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold but not yet purchased. Since September 30, 2016, we have not implemented any material changes in the fair value accounting policies described therein during the period covered by this report.

“Trading instruments” and “available for sale securities” are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in this Form 10-Q at fair value or amounts that approximate fair value. Unrealized gains and losses related to these financial instruments are reflected in our net income or our total comprehensive income, depending on the underlying purpose of the instrument.

As of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, 8%10% of our total assets and 2%3% of our total liabilities are instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3 amount to $224$235 million as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and represent 9%7% of our assets measured at fair value. Of the Level 3 assets as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, our ARS positions comprise $129$131 million, or 58%56%, and our private equity investments not measured at NAV comprise $83$89 million, or 37%38%, of the total.  Level 3 assets represent 4% of total equity as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017.


Financial instruments which are liabilities categorized as Level 3 amount to approximately $2 millionare insignificant as of DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 and represent less than 1% of liabilities measured at fair value.

Our investments in private equity measured at NAV amount to $116$113 million at DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.

See Notes 5, 6, 7 and 1214 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our financial instruments.

Goodwill impairment

Goodwill, under GAAP, must be allocated to reporting units and tested for impairment at least annually. The annual goodwill impairment testing involves the application of significant management judgment, especially when estimating the fair value of its reporting units. For a discussion of our goodwill accounting policies, see Note 2 on pages 122 - 123 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

We perform goodwill 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.  We have elected December 31 asDuring the quarter, we changed our annual goodwill impairment evaluation date.test date for all reporting units from December 31 to January 1; however, the results of our test did not change as we continue to evaluate balances as of December 31. We performed our latest annual goodwill impairment testing during the quarter ended March 31, 2016.2017, evaluating balances as of December 31, 2016, and no impairment was identified. In that testing, we performed both a qualitative impairment assessment for certain of our reporting units and a quantitative impairment assessment for our two RJ Ltd. reporting units operating in Canada.

For each reporting unit thaton which we performedperform a qualitative assessments,assessment, we determineddetermine whether it is more likely than not that the carrying value of such reporting unit, including the recorded goodwill, is in excess of the fair value of the reporting unit. In any instance in which we are unable to qualitatively conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit carrying value including goodwill, a quantitative analysis of the fair value of the reporting unit would be performed. Based upon the outcome of our qualitative assessments, we determined that no quantitative analysis of the fair value of any of the reporting units we elected to qualitatively analyze for impairment as of Decemberduring the quarter ended March 31, 20152017 was required, and we concluded that none of the goodwill allocated to any of those reporting units as of December 31, 2015 was impaired. No events have occurred since December 31, 2015our assessment that would cause us to update this impairment testing.

In the RJ Ltd. reporting unit testing, we elected to perform quantitative assessments for the two reporting units within RJ Ltd. that include an allocation of goodwill. Although GAAP provides the option to perform a qualitative analysis which may result in a conclusion that no quantitative analysis of the reporting unit equity value is required, for this year’s annual goodwill testing of our two RJ Ltd. reporting units that include an allocation of goodwill, we elected to perform a quantitative analysis. In these analyses, we make significant assumptions and estimates about, among other things, the extent and timing of future cash flows and discount rates as well as utilize data from peer groupand which guideline companies to use to assess the equity value of each RJ Ltd. reporting unit. Based upon the outcome of our quantitative assessments, we concluded there was no impairment of goodwill. The fair value of the equity of the RJ Ltd. PCG reporting unit was substantially in excess of its book carrying value, which includes goodwill. However, primarilygoodwill as a result of the unfavorable impacts of the prolonged commodity recession in Canada on our business, most specifically impacting the natural resources sector of that economy, the fair value of the equity of each of the RJ Ltd. ECM reporting unit is not substantiallyunits was in excess of its bookrespective carrying value, which includes goodwill. The RJ Ltd. ECM reporting unit goodwill balance was $16.9 million as of December 31, 2015, and we estimated that the excess

See Note 10 of the fair value of the reporting unit over its carrying valueNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our goodwill, including goodwill approximated 10% at such time. The equity market conditions in Canada have not improved significantly since the date of our latest goodwill impairment testing. Depending upon how this recent activity impacts our near and long-term projections, an impairment charge of some portion, or perhaps all, of such goodwill could occur.

Loss provisions

Refer to the discussion of loss provisions in Item 7 on page 78 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

Management's Discussion and Analysis


Loss provisions arising from 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 on page 123 of our 2016 Form 10-K. In addition, refer to Note 1517 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for information regarding legal and regulatory matter contingencies as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016.

2017.

Loss provisions arising from operations of our Broker-Dealers

The recorded amount of liabilities associated with brokerage client receivables and loans to financial advisors and certain key revenue producers, is subject to significant management judgment. See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for information regarding the allowance for doubtful accounts associated with loans to financial advisors as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.

Loan loss provisions arising from operations of RJ Bank

RJ Bank provides an allowance for loan losses which reflects our continuing evaluation of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. See the discussion regarding RJ Bank’s methodology in estimating its allowance for loan losses in Item 7A - Credit Risk, on pages 88 - 92 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

At DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, the amortized cost of all RJ Bank loans was $16.03$16.2 billion and an allowance for loan losses of $198$186 million was recorded against that balance. The total allowance for loan losses is equal to 1.25%1.17% of the amortized cost of the loan portfolio.

RJ Bank’s process of evaluating its probable loan losses includes a complex analysis of several quantitative and qualitative factors, requiring a substantial amount of judgment. Due to the uncertainty associated with this subjectivity, our underlying assumptions and judgments could prove to be inaccurate, and the allowance for loan losses could then be insufficient to cover actual losses. In such an event, any losses would result in a decrease in our net income as well as a decrease in the level of regulatory capital at RJ Bank.

Income taxes

For a description of the significant assumptions, judgments and interpretations associated with the accounting for income taxes, see the income taxes section of Item 7 on page 78 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

Effective October 1, 2016, we adopted new accounting guidance related to simplifying certain aspects of accounting for stock compensation which directly impacted our income tax expense for the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017. See Notes 1 and 1416 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information on our adoption of this new accounting guidance.

Effects of recently issued accounting standards, and accounting standards not yet adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance regarding revenue recognition. 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 financial report covering the quarter ending December 31, 2018. Although, early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, we do not currently plan to early adopt. Upon adoption, we may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach with respect to presentation of comparable periods prior to the effective date. We are still evaluating which transition approach to use. We are also still evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations. 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. Under the new standard, we may be required to change our current presentation of certain costs from a net presentation within revenues to a gross presentation, particularly with respect to mergers and acquisitions advisory and underwriting transactions.

In June 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance for the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The new guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting of an award
104

Management's Discussion and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This new guidance is first effective for this interim financial report covering the quarter ending December 31, 2016. The adoption of this new guidance had no significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.Analysis

In August 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance that requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance: (1) provides for a definition of substantial doubt, (2) requires an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). This new guidance is first effective for this interim financial

report covering the quarter ending December 31, 2016. The adoption of this guidance has no impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In November 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance regarding the accounting for hybrid financial instruments (which in this context would apply to any shares of RJF stock that include embedded derivative features such as conversion rights, redemption rights, voting rights, and liquidation and dividend payment preferences) issued in the form of a share. The new guidance clarifies how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. This new guidance is first effective for this interim financial report covering the quarter ending December 31, 2016. The adoption of this guidance had no significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In January 2015, the FASB issued guidance that eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. This new guidance is effective for us for this fiscal year which commenced on October 1, 2016. The adoption of this new guidance has had no impact on the presentation in our consolidated statements of income.

In February 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance to the consolidation model. In October 2016, the FASB issued an additional amendment to this guidance. The impact of these amendments on the consolidation model are to:

Eliminates the deferral of the application of the new consolidation model, which had resulted in the application of prior accounting guidance to consolidation determinations of certain investment funds.
Make certain changes to the variable interest consolidation model.
Make certain changes to the voting interest consolidation model.

This amended guidance iswas first effective for us in this interim financial report coveringduring the quarter ending December 31, 2016. See Notes 1 and 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for discussions of the impact the adoption of this new guidance had on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance governing a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Under the new guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This new guidance is effective for us for this fiscal year which commenced on October 1, 2016. Our adoption of this new guidance had no significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance related to technical corrections and improvements.  This amended guidance: 1) includes amendments related to differences between the original guidance and the codification. 2) Provides guidance clarification and reference corrections. 3) Streamlines or simplifies the codification through minor structural changes to headings or minor edits of text to improve the usefulness and understandability of the codification. 4) Makes minor improvements to the guidance.  The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for this fiscal year that commenced on October 1, 2016. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance governing adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Such adjustments are required when new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement amounts initially recognized or would have resulted in the recognition of additional assets and liabilities. This new guidance eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for such adjustments. This new guidance is effective for this fiscal year that commenced on October 1, 2016. The adoption of this new guidance has had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the presentation of deferred income taxes on the statement of financial position by eliminating the requirement to separately present current and noncurrent deferred tax liabilities and assets on such statements. Given that we do not present current and noncurrent balances separately on our condensed consolidated statements of financial position, this simplifying guidance will have no impact our condensed consolidated statements of financial position.


In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to the accounting for financial instruments. 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 us for our fiscal year commencing on October 1, 2018. 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.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases. The new guidance requires the recognition of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by lease agreements regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement and presentation 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. The new guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2019, early adoption is permitted. This new guidance will impact our financial position and results of operations. We are evaluating the magnitude of such impact.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to derivatives and hedging, specifically the effect of derivative contract novations on existing hedge accounting relationships. The new guidance clarifies that a change in counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument under the current guidance does not, in and of itself, require re-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The new guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2017, 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.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to derivatives and hedging, specifically contingent put and call options in debt instruments. The new guidance clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the following four-step decision sequence; an entity must consider 1) whether the payoff is adjusted based on changes in an index, 2) whether the payoff is indexed to an underlying other than interest rates or credit risk, 3) whether the debt involves a substantial premium or discount and 4) whether the call (put) option is contingently exercisable. The new guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2017, 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.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to equity method investments and joint ventures. The new guidance eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. Additionally, the new guidance requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting and therefore upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. The new guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2017, early adoption is permitted. Given that this guidance applies to entity specific

transactions and would only become relevant in certain circumstances, we are unable to estimate the impact, if any, this new guidance may have on our financial position.

In March 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to stock compensation. The amended guidance involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2017, although early adoption is permitted. We elected to adopt this new guidance early, seeearly. See Notes 1 and 1416 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for discussions of the impact the adoption of this new guidance had on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. 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 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. Additionally the new guidancelosses 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. The new guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2020, early2020. Early adoption is permitted although not prior to our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2019. We have begun our implementation and evaluation efforts by establishing a cross-functional team to assess the required changes to our credit loss estimation methodologies and systems, as well as determine additional data and resources required to comply with the new guidance. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.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.

In August 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the Statement of Cash Flows. 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. The amended guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2017,2017; however, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance will impact our Statement of Cash Flows,Flows; however, we are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to the accounting for income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets. Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an

inter-entity transfer of an asset when the transfer occurs. The guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2018,2018; however, 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.

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the Statement of Cash Flows. 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. The guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2018, early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In December 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to technical corrections and improvements.  This amended guidance makes changes to clarify, correct errors, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification. Generally, the amendment is effective immediately. The adoption of this guidance does not have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the definition of a business. 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. The guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2018, early2018. Early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances. Given the adoption of this amended

guidance is dependent upon the nature of future events and circumstances, we are still evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating “Step 2” from the goodwill impairment test. 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 the 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. The guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2019,2019; however, 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.

In March 2017, the FASB issued 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. Discounts on callable debt securities will continue to be amortized to the contractual maturity date. This guidance is first effective for our financial report covering the quarter ended December 31, 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. The guidance will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis


 
Market risk

Market risk is our risk of loss resulting from changes in market prices of our inventory, hedge, interest rate derivative 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 pages 83 - 84 of our 2016 Form 10-K for a discussion of our market risk including how we manage it.

See Notes 5, 6, 7 and 714 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for fair value and other information regarding our trading inventories, and available for sale securities.securities and derivative instruments.

Interest rate risk

Trading activities

We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our trading inventories (primarily comprised of fixed income instruments) in our Capital Markets segment, as well as our RJ Bank operations. See pages 84 - 87 of our 2016 Form 10-K for discussion of how we manage our interest rate risk.

We actively manage the interest rate risk arising from our fixed income trading securities through the use of hedging techniquesstrategies that involve U.S. Treasury securities and futures contracts, liquid spread products, and swaps.

We monitor daily, the Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) for all of our trading portfolios. 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, OCC and FDIC, requires us to calculate VaR numbers for all of our trading portfolios, including fixed income, equity, foreign exchange, and derivative instruments.

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. The 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 testing procedures of our VaR model, whereby we compare each day’s projected VaR to its regulatory-defined daily trading losses, which excludes fees, commissions, reserves, net interest income, and intra-day trading. Based on these daily “ex ante” versus “ex post comparisons, we verify that the number of times that regulatory-defined daily trading losses exceed VaR is consistent with our expectations at a 99% confidence level. During the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, our regulatory-defined daily loss in our trading portfolios exceeded our predicted VaR once.

The following table sets forth the high, low, and daily average VaR for all of our trading portfolios, including fixed income, equity, and derivative instruments, as of the period and dates indicated: 
 Three months ended December 31, 2016 VaR at
 High Low 
Daily Average
 December 31,
2016
 September 30, 2016
 (in thousands)
Daily VaR$2,274
 $1,113
 $1,670
 $1,881
 $1,804
 Six months ended March 31, 2017 VaR at
 High Low

 (in thousands)
Daily VaR$2,952
 $1,113
 $1,819
 $2,309
 $1,804

The modeling of the risk characteristics of trading positions involves a number of assumptions and approximations. While management believes that its 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis


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 “More... - Investors - Financial Reports - Market Risk Rule Disclosure” within 45 days after the end of each of our reporting periods (the information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this report).

Should markets suddenly become more volatile, 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, and review of issuer ratings, as well as 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.  

As a part of our fixed income public finance operations, RJ&A enters into forward commitments to purchase GNMA or FNMA MBS which are issued on behalf of various state and local housing finance agencies (see further discussion of these activities within “financial instruments owned, financial instruments sold but not purchased and fair value” in Note 2 on page 112 of our 2016 Form 10-K).  These activities result in exposure to interest rate risk. In order to hedge the interest rate risk to which RJ&A would otherwise be exposed between the date of the commitment and the date of sale of the MBS, RJ&A enters into TBA security contracts with investors for generic MBS securities at specific rates and prices to be delivered on settlement dates in the future. See Note 1517 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding these activities and the related balances outstanding as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.

Banking operations

RJ Bank maintains an earning asset portfolio that is comprised of C&I loans, tax-exempt loans, SBL, and commercial and residential real estate loans, as well as MBS and CMOs (both of which are held in the available for sale securities portfolio), Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan securitizations and a trading portfolio of corporate loans.  Those earning assets are primarily

funded by RJ Bank’s obligations to customers (i.e. customer deposits).  Based on its current earning asset portfolio, RJ Bank is subject to interest rate risk.  The current economic environment has led to an extended period of low market interest rates.  As a result, the majority of RJ Bank’s adjustable rate assets and liabilities have experienced a reduction in interest rate yields and costs that reflect these very low market interest rates.  During the current period, RJ Bank has focused its interest rate risk analysis on the risk of market interest rates rising.  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, including the economic value of equity (“EVE”) are described in Item 7A on page 85 of our 2016 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to these methods during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.

In February 2015, we implemented a hedging strategy using interest rate swaps as a result of RJ Bank’s asset and liability management process described above. For further information regarding this risk management objective, see the discussion of the RJ Bank Interest Hedges in the derivative contracts section of Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 114 - 115 of our 2016 Form 10-K and additional information in Note 1214 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

The following table is an analysis of RJ Bank’s estimated net interest income over a 12 month period based on instantaneous shifts in interest rates (expressed in basis points) using RJ Bank’s own asset/liability model:

Management's Discussion and Analysis


The EVE analysis is a point in time analysis of current interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which incorporates all cash flows over their estimated remaining lives, discounted at current rates. The EVE approach is based on a static balance sheet and provides an indicator of future earnings and capital levels as the changes in EVE indicate the anticipated change in the value of future cash flows. RJ Bank monitors sensitivity to changes in EVE utilizing board approved limits. These limits set a risk tolerance to changing interest rates and assist RJ Bank in determining strategies for mitigating this risk as it approaches these limits.

The following table presents an analysis of RJ Bank’s estimated EVE sensitivity based on instantaneous shifts in interest rates (expressed in basis points) using RJ Bank’s own asset/liability model:
Instantaneous changes in rate Projected change in EVE

Other

Within our available for sale securities portfolio, we hold ARS, which are long-term variable rate securities tied to short-term interest rates. Refer to the discussion of the interest rate risk associated with these securities in Item 7A on page 87 of our 2016 Form 10-K, and see Notes 5 and 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for fair value and other information regarding such securities as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.


Equity price risk

We are exposed to equity price risk as a consequence of making markets in equity securities. RJ&A’s broker-dealer activities are primarily client-driven, with the objective of meeting clients’ needs while earning a trading profit 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 constantly throughout each day and establishing position limits.

In addition, RJF’s 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.

Investments in foreign subsidiaries

RJ Bank has an investment in a Canadian subsidiary, resulting in foreign exchange risk. To mitigate this risk, RJ Bank utilizes short-term, forward foreign exchange contracts. These derivative agreements are primarily accounted for as net investment hedges in the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 1214 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding these derivative contracts.

We have foreign exchange risk in our investment in RJ Ltd., of approximately CDN $321$327 million at DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2017, which is not hedged. Foreign exchange gains/losses related to this investment are primarily reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, seeIncome. See Note 1618 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding all of our components of OCI.

Management's Discussion and Analysis


We also have foreign exchange risk associated with our investments in subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom, Germany and France. 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

In addition, we are subject to foreign exchange risk due to our holdings of cash and certain other assets and liabilities, which result from transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Any currency related gains/losses arising from these foreign currency denominated balances are reflected in other revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The foreign exchange risk associated with a portion of such transactions and balances denominated in foreign currency are mitigated utilizing short-term, forward foreign exchange contracts. Such derivatives are not designated hedges and therefore the related gains/losses associated with these contracts are included in other revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 1214 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for information regarding our derivative contracts.

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 on pages 88 - 92 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

RJ Bank has substantial corporate, SBL, and residential mortgage loan portfolios.  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 could result in large provisions for loan losses and/or charge-offs.

Several factors were taken into consideration in evaluating the allowance for loan losses at DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, including the risk profile of the portfolios, net charge-offs during the period, the level of nonperforming loans, and delinquency ratios. 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 determined the allowance that was 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. There was no material change in RJ Bank’s methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.

The level of nonperforming loans is another indicator of potential future credit losses. The amount of nonperforming loans decreased during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.  This decrease was due to a $10$29 million decrease in nonperforming C&I loans, a $4 million decrease in CRE loans, and a $2 million decrease in residential mortgage loans.  Included in nonperforming residential mortgage loans are $38$37 million in loans for which $19$18 million in charge-offs were previously recorded, resulting in less exposure within the remaining balance.

The nonperforming loan balances above excludes $15 million as of December 31, 2016 and $14 million as of both March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, of residential TDRs which were returned to accrual status in accordance with our policy.

Loan underwriting policies

RJ Bank’s underwriting policies for the major types of loans are described on pages 92 - 93 of our 2016 Form 10-K. There were no material changes in RJ Bank’s underwriting policies during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.

Risk monitoring process

The credit risk strategy component of ongoing risk monitoring and review processes at RJ Bank for all residential, SBL and corporate credit exposures, as well as our rigorous processes to manage and limit credit losses arising from loan delinquencies, are discussed on pages 93 - 96 of our 2016 Form 10-K. There were no material changes to those processes and policies during the threesix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2017.

SBL and residential mortgage loans

The marketable collateral securing RJ Bank’s SBL is 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 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.

Index

The current average estimated LTV is 54% for the total residential mortgage loan portfolio. Residential mortgage loans with estimated LTVs in excess of 100% represent much less than 1% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio. 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 DecemberMarch 31, 20162017, loans over 30 days delinquent (including nonperforming loans) decreased to 1.10%0.99% of residential mortgage loans outstanding, compared to 1.20% over 30 days delinquent at September 30, 2016.  Additionally, our DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 percentage compares favorably to the national average for over 30 day delinquencies of 4.28%4.25% as most recently reported by the Fed. RJ Bank’s significantly lower delinquency rate as compared to its peers is the result of both our uniform underwriting policies and the lack of subprime loans and limited amount of non-traditional loan products.

Item 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 Exchange Act, 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 Exchange Act 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 DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Not applicable.We and one of our financial advisors are named defendants in various lawsuits related to an alleged fraudulent scheme, created in 2007, conducted by Ariel Quiros (“Quiros”) and William Stenger (“Stenger”) involving the misuse of EB-5 investor funds in connection with the Jay Peak ski resort in Vermont and associated limited partnerships (“Jay Peak”). Plaintiffs in the lawsuits allege that Quiros misused $200 million of the amounts raised by the limited partnerships and misappropriated $50 million for his personal benefit. There are six civil court actions pending in which we or one of our subsidiaries are named. The plaintiffs variously demand, among other things, compensatory damages, treble damages under RICO and punitive damages.
On April 13, 2017, RJA entered into an agreement regarding a proposed final, comprehensive settlement of all past, present and future investor claims against us relating to the Jay Peak matters. Under the agreement, we would pay to the SEC-appointed receiver for the Jay Peak entities an aggregate of $150 million which includes $4.5 million previously paid in our settlement with the State of Vermont. The settlement amount, net of amounts previously paid, is included in Trade and other payables in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2017. The agreement further provides that the court will issue a bar order stipulating that no further civil actions will be commenced or prosecuted against us (other than by governmental bodies or agencies) on the basis of the events underlying the litigation. The proposed settlement is subject to court review and

approval and other customary conditions. At this time, there can be no assurance that the conditions to effect the settlement will be met or that the settlement will receive the required court approval. In addition, the settlement provides us with the right to recover some of our settlement payments through sharing in proceeds of certain third-party recoveries that may be obtained by or on behalf of the receiver or the receivership entities.
