RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James Financial, Inc. today reported a 3 percent decrease over the prior year’s quarterly unaudited net income to $59,715,000, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended March 31, 2007. In comparison, the firm earned $61,531,000, or $0.53 per diluted share, for fiscal 2006’s second quarter. Net revenues increased 5 percent to $625,719,000, while gross revenues grew 12 percent to $738,271,000.

Unaudited net income for the first half of fiscal 2007 was reported at $119,110,000, up 12 percent from 2006’s $106,640,000, while net revenues for the period increased 9 percent to $1,229,619,000 from $1,125,593,000 the previous year. Diluted earnings per share were $1.00, up from $0.93 for last year’s comparable period.

“At first blush, our second quarter net income appears to be down 3 percent from last year’s comparable quarter, implying lackluster performance. However, as reported in last year’s report for the March quarter, 2006 quarterly earnings were favorably impacted by $0.09 per diluted share from non-operating sources, specifically the sale of three seats on the New York Stock Exchange and one seat on the Montreal Exchange. During this year’s second quarter, we benefited from the sale of our joint venture in India and the sale of our Delta airplane lease, which we had written off. Thus, adjusting for these non-recurring events, earnings per diluted share increased approximately 10 percent on an 8 percent increase in net revenues,” stated Chairman and CEO Thomas A. James.

“Although Capital Markets’ revenues declined 13 percent from last year’s comparable quarter, this loss of revenues was more than offset by the 13 percent revenue increase in our largest business segment, the Private Client Group. Asset Management and Raymond James Bank revenues grew 26 percent and 149 percent, respectively. Given the erratic performance of the equity markets in the quarter, I would characterize the results as acceptable,” continued James.

“During the first part of the third fiscal quarter, the equity markets have staged a surprisingly good rally based primarily on better than expected corporate earnings and the high rate of taking public companies private by private equity funds, which both reduces the total float of public companies and demonstrates the value of those acquired companies. Accordingly, retail commission and investment activity have accelerated, implying favorable conditions for the securities industry, at least in the near term.”

The company will conduct its quarterly conference call Tuesday, April 24, at 4:15 p.m. EDT. The telephone number is 800-773-5520. The call will also be available on demand on the company’s Website, raymondjames.com, under “About Our Company,” “Investor Relations,” “Financial Reports,” “Quarterly Analyst Conference Call.” The subjects to be covered may also include forward-looking information. Questions may be posed to management by participants on the call, and in response the company may disclose additional material information.

Raymond James Financial (NYSE-RJF) is a Florida-based diversified holding company providing financial services to individuals, corporations and municipalities through its subsidiary companies. Its three wholly owned broker/dealers, Raymond James & Associates, Raymond James Financial Services and Raymond James Ltd., have more than 4,650 financial advisors serving approximately 1.6 million accounts in 2,200 locations throughout the United States, Canada and overseas. In addition, total client assets are approximately $198 billion, of which $33.9 billion are managed by the firm’s asset management subsidiaries.

To the extent that Raymond James makes or publishes forward-looking statements (regarding economic conditions, management expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated expense savings, financial results, anticipated results of litigation and regulatory proceedings, and other similar matters), a variety of factors, many of which are beyond Raymond James’ control, could cause actual results and experiences to differ materially from the expectations and objectives expressed in these statements. These factors are described in Raymond James’ 2006 annual report or Form 10-K, which is available on raymondjames.com and sec.gov.
