TrackRecord

StockPerformanceRaymondJamessportsoneofthemostsolidandimpressivetrackrecordsintheindustry.Inthepast13years,thefirm’searningspershare(EPS)hasgrownata13.25%CAGRandthefirmhasreportedover112consecutiveprofitablequarters.Even inthemidstof therecession, thecompanydidnotlosemoneyandEPSfellbyabout33%,afractionofthe lossthatotherfinancial institutions inthesector encountered. Thiswasmostly due tomanagement’s decision to not stray away fromRJF’straditional services, such as its PrivateClientGroup andCapitalMarkets operation,which receivefee-based incomes and benefit from high return-on-equity (ROE). This is further evidence ofmanagement’sconservative,long-termapproach.

What isespeciallynoteworthy isthecompany’scommitmenttomaximizingshareholdervalueandreturning capital to investors. At no time since its founding has Raymond James decreased itsdividend– ithas insteadliftedtheamountpaidouttostockholdersonaregularbasis.Theannualdividendiscurrently$0.80,upfrom$0.16morethanadecadeago,representingaCAGRofupwardsof13%.Historicallyspeaking,RJFincreasesitsdividendroughlyeverytwoyears.

While usually a high-performer, RJF’s stock has recently undergone a correction, dropping from$59.14onDecember29toalowof$40.43onFebruary11,apricemovementof31.64%.Becauseofthis, the current price level of $42.92 represents a bargain. The drop in price can mostly beattributed to excessive volatility in the financial sector and negative macro conditions, whichaffectedthecompany’srosygrowthforecasts.Asmentionedinthe2015shareholderletter:

“Our results for fiscal 2015 were excellent under the [negative market conditions] circumstancesdescribed above, although we had hoped for more growth at this time last year. Net revenuesachievedanewrecordlevelof$5.2billion,surpassing2014resultsby7%.Recordnetincomeof$502millionexceeded last year’s comparable resultsby5%.Net incomeperdiluted commonsharewas$3.43, up 3% over last year. The annual after-taxmargin on net revenueswas down by 20 basispoints from last year to9.7%. Theafter-tax returnonaverageequity for the2015 fiscal yearwas11.5%, down 80 basis points from last year, which was acceptable in the more challengingenvironment. Shareholders’ equity attributed to Raymond James Financial increased to a healthy$4.52billiononSeptember30,2015,or$31.68pershare,andthetangiblebookvaluepershare(anon-GAAPmeasure)was$29.17.”

FinancialAdvisersAs a wealthmanagement and financial advisory business, Raymond James is required to place alarge emphasis on the people it recruits, and especially its advisers. Hiring high-quality advisersdrivesbothassetsundermanagementandassetsunderadministration,and,asa result, revenuesand earnings. Many of its recent moves, including the acquisition of Deutsche Bank’s wealthmanagement segment (see“LatestAcquisitions” formore),haveasagoal togrow theamountoffinancial advisers. In the company’s recent conference call, Chief Executive Paul Reilly remarked,“Whileweareoptimisticaboutmaintainingmanyoftheadvisers,we’renotnaiveandweknowby

Page 13: Raymond James Analysis - ducascap.comadvised by Thomas A. James, the former CEO, who led the company for 40 years and who currently acts as Executive Chairman. The firm’s effective

13

lookingatotherrecenttransactionsthatrecruitersthroughoutthecountryhavebeencallingandwillcontinue calling our advisers withmuch bigger and sometimes irrational checks.” RJF has done aterrific job retaining and recruiting advisers, mainly because of the “adviser-centric” culture itpromotes. This is evidenced by the fact that 98% of advisers it hired through its acquisition ofMorganKeeganremainedwiththefirm.Withthis inmind,RJFshouldhaveno issueexpanding itsadvisorypractices intothe future,and, instead, thanks to itsgrowingbrandnameandoperations,shouldseeaninfluxofadvisers.

GrowthFactors

ExpansionthroughAcquisitionsRaymondJameshasstrategicallybeenacquiring industrypeers (see“LatestAcquisitions”) inorderto expand its assetmanagement,wealthmanagement and financial advisory businesses. This hasbeendonetonotonlygrowitsoperationsbutalsotoexpanditsgeographicalreach.TheDeutscheBankacquisition, for example, grewRJF’spresenceacross thehighly affluentNortheast andWestCoastoftheUnitedStates.RJF’sovercapitalizedbalancesheetwillprovidecapitaltofueladditionalacquisitionsanditsrevenueline.Relativetoitsassetmanagementpeers,RJFsportsalowervaluationandP/Bratio.CompanieslikeAmeriprise Financial and Franklin Resources trade at multiples of upwards of 1.9x and 1.7x,respectively,whileRaymondJamestradesat1.3x.Themaindistinctionisthatthosefirmsderivealarger portion of their revenue from their assetmanagement operations. As RJF expands its AMbusinessthroughacquisitionsandinternalgrowth,itshouldalsobeableincreaseaggregatevalue.

InflowofCapitalandAdvisersAs mentioned in the “Financial Advisers” section, an expanding advisory business grows AUM.RaymondJameshasbeenverysuccessfulinrecruitingtopadvisersandattractingcapital.Thisinturnpropelsrevenuegrowth.BelowareRJF’slatestmajorhiringmoves:

MacroeconomicReboundFor the past fewmonths, lackluster economic data has plagued themarkets and dragged broad-market share prices lower. This was especially felt within financial stocks and is the underlyingreasonbehindRJF’sdip.RaymondJamescertainlydependsonastrongeconomytothrive,andanyevidencepointingtothecontrarycanbedetrimentalfortheshareprice.However,theseconcernsare both short-lived and cyclical so once macro fundamentals improve in the coming months,RaymondJamesshouldseeabouncebacktolevelsseenbeforethestartofthebearmarketat$58.

InterestRatesThe Fed has already indicated that rates will remain unchanged for the foreseeable future, and,givenpoormarketconditions,itissafetoassumethisforecastwillendure.However,whenratesdorise,RJFwillstandtobenefit,mostlyintheformofhigherinterestpaymentsanddepositsthroughRJBank.

Valuation

PricetoBook(P/B)Based on the current (24 February) share price of $42.92 and 2015 Q4 book value per share of$32.33, theP/B ratio stands at 1.33x.Mybelief is thatRaymond James’ P/Bwill eventually reachpre-recessionlevelsof2.23x.Givensharesatthattimetradedathalfwhattheyweretradingafewmonths ago, it can be inferred that they did not indicate a top. Thus, with a P/B of 2.23x and(current)bookvalueof$32.33,theensuingpriceis$72.Withaconservativeestimate,however,P/Bshouldstandat1.95x,whichwasseenseveral timesover thecourseof thepast twoyears,whichwould result in a target price of $63. Historical data (2011-2015) shows book value per shareincreasingby$2.845(onaverage)year-over-year.Alowestimatewouldyieldariseinbookvalueby$2.5, to$34.83, in fourquarters.Using theP/Bof1.87x seenbefore thepricedroponDecember29th,a$34.33bookvaluewouldpositionthesharepriceat$58.86,representingupsideof37%.Unlessasevererecessionhits, Ibelievethatbyyear-end2016/early2017,RJFcouldtradeat$60.This isassumingcontinuedgrowth inP/B to1.50xandabookvalueof$40.25.Following this,RJFcouldre-visitpre-recessionP/Blevelsandtop$72.

AcquisitionofDeutscheBank’sU.S.PrivateClientServicesUnitInDecemberof2015,as amethodof accelerating its expansionplans,Raymond Jamesagreed tobuyDeutscheBank’sU.S.-basedassetandwealthmanagementbusinesses.Thedealwillcloseinthethirdquarterof2016andwilladd$50billioninassetsunderadministration(AUA),$300millioninrevenue and200 additional advisers. The goal of this acquisition is to growRJF’s presence acrosscontinentalU.S.,mainlytheNortheastandWestCoast.Thecostsofthepurchasewillvaryaccordingtothenumberofadvisersthatendupjoining,however, ifall join,thetotalcouldbe$420million.This deal follows a trend seen in financial services recently,whereby foreign banking institutions,suchasDeutscheBank,aredivestingtheirU.S.wealthmanagementbusinesses(see“DepartmentofLaborFiduciaryRule”below).Givenrecentpositivemarketconditions,thesalewasmadeatagoodprice,especiallywhencomparingittotheMorganKeeganacquisitionandshouldaddroughly$0.13inEPS.

AcquisitionofMorganKeeganIn2012,RaymondJamesacquiredMorganKeegan&Company,awealthmanagementandcapitalmarkets companywith $82 billion AUM, for $930million,which, asmentioned earlier, served toexpanditsfinancialadvisorybusiness.ThispurchasewasRJF’slargestto-dateandhascreatedoneofthe largest independent full-service wealthmanagement and capital markets firms in the UnitedStates. This transactionprovidedRJFwith900additional advisers,98%ofwho remainedwith thefirm,whichpointstostrongretention.

Risks

DepartmentofLabor(DOL)Fiduciary(“ConflictsofInterest”)RuleThe Department of Labor initially proposed a rule to address conflicts of interest in the financialadvisorybusiness.GivenRaymondJamesderivesasubstantiveamountofitsrevenuefromitsPCG(Private ClientGroup) segment, the implementation of such a law couldmarginally hurt revenue.The rule in itself would ensure that advisers have their clients’ best interest in mind and wouldeliminatebackdoorpaymentsandhiddenfeelsthataresupposedly“buriedinfineprint”,accordingto theDOL.A similar lawwaspassed in theUK,which led toadecline in thenumberof financialadvisersandwealthmanagementfirms.MajorfinancialinstitutionshavebeguntorestructuretheirU.S.-basedwealthmanagement and brokerage operations. These include Barclays, which sold itsventuretoStifelFinancial,WellsFargo,whichsignedarecruitmentagreementwithCreditSuisseforadvisers,andDeutscheBank,whichsolditsoperationstoRaymondJames.Theseallhaveoccurredinasimilartimeperiod,whichiscertainlyinterestingtonote.

That said, significant research indicated that this law has little chance of being successful asmembers of both political parties, and especially those of the Republican Party, including HouseSpeakerPaulRyan,havedecriedtheproposalasitcouldimpedethefinancialadvisorybusiness.Mr.Ryan is “determined todoeverythingpossible toprotect and stop this rule” as itwouldnotonly“createmore paperwork and record-keeping requirements for planners,meaning higher costs forconsumers”, but itwould also inhibit “up to 7million IRAs” from being qualified for advice. As aresult, thereareefforts to includemeasures inanappropriationsbill thatwouldblock funding fortherule.Further,asMr.RyanmentionsinanarticlehepennedinFebruaryof2016,“theWaysandMeansandEducationandWorkforcecommitteesapprovedRep.PeterRoskam’s(R-IL)StrengtheningAccess to Valuable Education and Retirement Support (SAVERS) Act, which would requirecongressionalapprovaloftheDOLrule.AsimilarmeasureofferedbyRep.PhilRoe(R-TN),AffordableRetirementAdviceProtectionAct, alsopassed the EducationandWorkforceCommittee.

MacroConditionsRaymondJames isaffectedbychanges in theeconomythat impact the financialmarkets. Interestrates, inflation, employment, economic output and monetary/fiscal policy all have a direct orindirectimpactonthecompany’sactivities.Likemostotherbusinesses,RJFoperatesincyclesand,asaresult,aneconomicdownturncanleadtolowerrevenueandprofitability.Nevertheless,basedonhistoricalperformance,Raymond James suffers less thandoother financial institutions,mainlydue to its conservative and risk-aversenature.Given recentmarket volatility, certain analysts arewarningagainstanimpedingU.S.recession.WhileIpersonallybelievethosethoughtsarebaseless,theycannotbeignored.RJF’sshort-termperformancewillbedictatedbymacroeconomicchanges.

ExposuretoEnergyRaymond James is directly exposed to the energy sector, having made loans to 32 energycompanies. Even though only one of those businesses was in the Exploration and Productionindustry, and is itself investment-grade, RJF hasmade over $443million in energy loans, totaling3.19%ofitsloanportfolioof$13.68billion.Givenmanagement’sconservativenature,thecompanyhasset$184millionasideinreservesfor$53.5millioninnon-performingloans.Ifitcametoit,RJFwouldbeabletomarkitsenergybookdownbyroughly50%withoutinfluencingitsbookmuch.

ContinuedPricingPressuresinCertainSegmentsOver the past couple of years, there have been significant pricing pressures in such segments asfixed income and equity trading,whereby tradingmargins and commissions have decreased.
