THE POWER OF PERSONAL
THE POWER OF PERSONAL  
It   s recognizing how to help someone
make a difference, because we know what
made all the difference for them.
It   s seeing how to approach a business   s
future, because we   ve been to the place
where it began.
It   s ideas     big, longheld or
not-yet-imagined     brought to life
when professional becomes personal.
Relationships are where our firm started, and
they   re still the purpose driving us forward and

Caring about clients     understanding their unique
perspectives, envisioning their biggest goals
alongside them, imagining all the ways an ambition
or an institution could grow     makes us more
proficient, more dynamic, more invested.
It gives us a degree of human insight that amplifies

impactful results.
Simply, we   re professionals who are exceedingly
capable, but also deeply committed to connecting
with people     so that, together, we can pursue
limitless possibilities.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Built on a foundation forged in long-term,
disciplined management and guided by
our core values, Raymond James again
delivered record results in fiscal 2025,
reflecting the unwavering commitment of
advisors, bankers and our associates to
providing exceptional service to clients.
At the heart of our collective success, building and nurturing
meaningful personal relationships with clients and each
other remains essential to the long-term prosperity of clients,
our financial professionals and associates, and the firm.
Our enduring values     always putting clients first, making
decisions for the long term, having integrity and valuing
independence     continue to guide every decision we make
and position us for sustainable growth.
This year, we celebrated 150 consecutive quarters of
profitability and continued that trend through the fourth
quarter. Since our founding, Raymond James has remained
resilient, thriving in strong markets and navigating periods of
volatility     whether global market uncertainty or regulatory
shifts. Our long-term record of profitability illustrates the
strength and adaptability of our diverse and complementary
businesses, and stands as a testament to our values and
long-term focus.
In fiscal 2025, we generated record net revenues of $14.1 billion
and record pre-tax income of $2.7 billion, representing 10%
and 3% growth, respectively, over fiscal 2024. Additionally,
we achieved a return on common equity of 17.7% and an
adjusted return on tangible common equity of 21.3%(1)     both
strong results particularly given our robust capital position.
The fiscal year ended with total common equity attributable to
RJF of $12.4 billion and book value per share of $62.72, which
increased 7% and 10%, respectively, over September 2024. Our
capital ratios remained well above regulatory requirements,
with a total capital ratio of 24.1% and tier 1 leverage ratio of
13.1% at the end of the year, providing significant flexibility to
continue being opportunistic and investing in growth.
Over the long term, our capital deployment priorities remain
unwavering: investing in organic growth, which we believe
delivers the best returns for our shareholders over time;
selectively making acquisitions; paying an ongoing dividend;
and repurchasing our common stock. The firm returned more
than $1.5 billion to shareholders through the combination of
common stock dividends and share repurchases. The quarterly
common stock dividend increased in the year approximately
11% to $0.50 per share and we repurchased 7.4 million shares
for $1.1 billion, an average price of approximately $148 per
share. Subsequent to the fiscal year end, the board approved
an 8% increase of the quarterly dividend on our common stock
to $0.54 per share and a share repurchase authorization of up
to $2 billion, which replaces the previous authorization under
