AND SUBSIDIARIES Index Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Board of Directors Raymond James Financial, Inc.: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Raymond James Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended September 30, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated November 26, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Assessment of the allowance for credit losses related to the commercial and industrial (C&I) and the commercial real estate (CRE) portfolio segments that are collectively evaluated for impairment As discussed in Note 2 and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was $457 million as of September 30, 2024, a portion of which related to the Raymond James Bank allowance for credit losses (ACL) on C&I and CRE portfolio segments evaluated on a collective basis (the collective ACL). The Company estimates the collective ACL using a current expected credit losses methodology which is based on relevant information about historical losses, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions 87 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Index that affect the collectability of loan balances. The collective ACL is a product of multiplying the Company’s estimates of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default. The Company uses third-party historical information combined with macroeconomic variables over the reasonable and supportable forecast periods based on a single economic forecast scenario to estimate the PDs and LGDs. After the reasonable and supportable forecast periods, for the C&I portfolio segment, the Company reverts to historical loss information over a one-year period using a straight-line reversion approach. For the CRE portfolio segment, the Company incorporates a reasonable and supportable forecast of various macroeconomic variables over the remaining life of the assets. The estimated PDs and LGDs are applied to estimated exposure at default considering the contractual loan term adjusted for expected prepayments to estimate expected losses. Adjustments are made to the collective ACL to reflect certain qualitative factors that are not incorporated into the quantitative models and related estimate. We identified the assessment of the September 30, 2024 collective ACL on Raymond James Bank loans related to the C&I and CRE portfolio segments as a critical audit matter. A high degree of audit effort, including specialized skills and knowledge, and subjective and complex auditor judgment was involved in the assessment due to significant measurement uncertainty. Specifically, the assessment encompassed the evaluation of the September 30, 2024 collective ACL methodology, including the methods and models used to estimate the PDs and LGDs and their significant assumptions. Such significant assumptions included portfolio segmentation, risk ratings, the selection of the single economic forecast scenario and macroeconomic variables, the reasonable and supportable forecast periods and the reversion periods, and third-party historical information. The assessment also included the evaluation of the qualitative factors by portfolio segment. The assessment also included an evaluation of the conceptual soundness and performance of the PD and LGD models. In addition, auditor judgment was required to evaluate the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s measurement of the September 30, 2024 collective ACL estimate on Raymond James Bank loans related to the C&I and CRE portfolio segments, including controls over the: • development of the collective ACL methodology on Bank loans related to the C&I and CRE portfolio segments • development of the PD and LGD models • identification and determination of the significant assumptions used in the PD and LGD models • development of the qualitative methodology and factors • performance monitoring of the PD and LGD models • analysis of the collective ACL on Bank loans related to the C&I and CRE portfolio segments results, trends, and ratios. We evaluated the Company’s process to develop the September 30, 2024 collective ACL estimate on Bank loans related to the C&I and CRE portfolio segments by testing certain sources of data, factors, and assumptions that the Company used, and considered the relevance and reliability of such data, factors, and assumptions. In addition, we involved credit risk professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in: • evaluating the Company’s collective ACL methodology for compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles • evaluating judgments made by the Company relative to the development and performance testing of the PD and LGD models by comparing them to relevant Company-specific metrics and trends and the applicable industry and regulatory practices • assessing the conceptual soundness and performance of the PD and LGD models by inspecting the model documentation to determine whether the models are suitable for the intended use • evaluating the selection of the economic forecast scenario and underlying macroeconomic variables by comparing it to the Company’s business environment and relevant industry practices • evaluating the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast periods and the reversion periods by comparing them to specific portfolio segment risk characteristics and trends • determining whether the loan portfolio is segmented by similar risk characteristics by comparing to the Company’s business environment and relevant industry practices • evaluating the relevance of third-party historical information used by comparing to specific portfolio segment risk characteristics • performing credit file reviews on a selection of loans to assess loan characteristics or risk ratings by evaluating the financial performance of the borrower, sources of repayment, and any relevant guarantees or underlying collateral and • evaluating the methodology used to develop the qualitative factors and the effect of those factors on the allowance for credit losses on Bank loans compared with relevant credit risk factors and consistency with credit trends and identified limitations of the underlying quantitative models. 88 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Index We also assessed the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained related to the September 30, 2024 collective ACL estimate on Bank loans related to the C&I and CRE portfolio segments by evaluating the: • cumulative results of the audit procedures • qualitative aspects of the Company’s accounting practices and • potential bias in the accounting estimate. /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2001.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Index RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2024 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF” or the “firm”) is a financial holding company which, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in various financial services activities, including providing investment management services to retail and institutional clients, merger & acquisition and advisory services, the underwriting, distribution, trading and brokerage of equity and debt securities, and the sale of mutual funds and other investment products. The firm also provides corporate and retail banking services, and trust services. For additional information about our business segments, see Note 26. As used herein, the terms “our,” “we,” or “us” refer to RJF and/or one or more of its subsidiaries. Basis of presentation The accompanying 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 and in Note 10. 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 The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Recent accounting developments Accounting guidance recently adopted In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and disclosures regarding write-offs of financing receivables (ASU 2022-02), amending guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13). The update eliminates the requirement to use a discounted cash flow approach to measure the allowance for credit losses for TDRs and instead allows for the use of a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) approach for all loans. Under a CECL approach, the impact of loan modifications and the subsequent performance of modified loans, including defaults, is reflected in the historical loss data used to calculate expected lifetime credit losses. In addition, the update requires new disclosures about modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the form of principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, term extensions, or a combination of these modifications. The update also requires new disclosures for the financial effects of these modifications and for loan performance in the twelve months following the modification, and also requires disclosure of current period gross charge-offs by year of origination. We adopted this guidance on a prospective basis as of October 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Refer to Note 8 for additional disclosures required by this guidance. Our significant accounting policies described below have been updated for adoption of this guidance where applicable. 95 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Significant accounting policies Recognition of non-interest revenues Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when promised services are delivered to our customers in an amount we expect to receive in exchange for those services (i.e., the transaction price). Contracts with customers can include multiple services, which are accounted for as separate “performance obligations” if they are determined to be distinct. Our performance obligations to our customers are generally satisfied when we transfer the promised service to our customer, either at a point in time or over time. Revenue from a performance obligation transferred at a point in time is recognized at the time that the customer obtains control over the promised service. Revenue from our performance obligations satisfied over time is recognized in a manner that depicts our performance in transferring control of the service, which is generally measured based on time elapsed, as our customers receive the benefit of our services as they are provided. Payment for the majority of our services is considered to be variable consideration, as the amount of revenue we expect to receive is subject to factors outside of our control, including market conditions. Variable consideration is only included in revenue when amounts are not subject to significant reversal, which is generally when uncertainty around the amount of revenue to be received is resolved. We record deferred revenue from contracts with customers when payment is received prior to the performance of our obligation to the customer. We involve third parties in providing services to the customer for certain of our contracts with customers. We are generally deemed to control the promised services before they are transferred to the customer. Accordingly, we present the related revenues gross of the related costs. We have elected the practical expedient allowed by the accounting guidance to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. See Note 21 for additional information on our revenues. Asset management and related administrative fees We earn asset management and related administrative fees for performing asset management, portfolio management and related administrative services to retail and institutional clients. Such fees are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of our Private Client Group (“PCG”) client assets in fee-based accounts or on the net asset value of funds managed by our Raymond James Investment Management division (“Raymond James Investment Management”) in our Asset Management segment. The values of these assets are impacted by market fluctuations and net inflows or outflows of assets. Fees are generally collected quarterly and are based on balances either at the beginning of the quarter or at the end of the quarter, or average balances throughout the quarter. Asset management and related administrative fees are recognized on a monthly basis (i.e., over time) as the services are performed. Revenues related to fee-based accounts under administration in PCG are shared by the PCG and Asset Management segments, the amount of which depends on whether clients are invested in “managed programs” that are overseen by our Asset Management segment (i.e., included in financial assets under management (“AUM”) in the Asset Management segment) and the administrative services provided. The Asset Management segment receives a higher portion of the revenues related to accounts invested in managed programs, as compared to the portion received for non-managed programs, as it is performing portfolio management services in addition to administrative services. Asset management revenues earned by Raymond James Investment Management for retail accounts managed on behalf of third-party institutions, institutional accounts and proprietary mutual funds that we manage are recorded entirely in the Asset Management segment. Brokerage revenues Securities commissions Mutual and other fund products and insurance and annuity products We earn revenues for distribution and related support services performed related to mutual and other funds, fixed and variable annuities, and insurance products. Depending on the product sold, we may receive an upfront fee for our services, a trailing commission, or some combination thereof. Upfront commissions received are generally based on a fixed rate applied, as a percentage, to amounts invested or the value of the contract at the time of sale and are generally recognized at the time of sale. Trailing commissions are generally based on a fixed rate applied, as a percentage, to the net asset value of the fund, or the value 96 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index of the insurance policy or annuity contract. Trailing commissions on eligible products are generally received monthly or quarterly over the period that our client holds the investment or holds the contract. As these trailing commissions are based on factors outside of our control, including market movements and client behavior (i.e., how long clients hold their investment, insurance policy or annuity contract), such revenue is recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Equities, ETFs, and fixed income products We earn commissions for executing and clearing transactions for customers, primarily in listed and over-the-counter equity securities, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), options, and fixed income products. Such revenues primarily arise from transactions for retail clients in our PCG segment, as well as services related to sales and trading activities transacted on an agency basis in our Capital Markets segment. Commissions are recognized on trade date, generally received from the customer on settlement date, and we record a receivable between the trade date and the date collected from the customer. Principal transactions Principal transactions include revenues from clients’ purchases and sales of financial instruments in which we transact on a principal basis, including fixed income products, equity securities, and derivatives. We make markets in certain fixed income debt instruments and carry inventories to facilitate such transactions. The gains and losses on such inventories, both realized and unrealized, are reported as principal transactions revenues. Account and service fees Mutual fund and annuity service fees We earn servicing fees for providing sales and marketing support to third-party financial entities and for supporting the availability and distribution of their products on our platforms. We also earn servicing fees for accounting and administrative services provided to such parties. These fees, which are received monthly or quarterly, are generally based on the market value of the related assets, a fixed annual fee or, in certain cases, the number of positions in such programs, and are recognized over time as the services are performed. Raymond James Bank Deposit Program (“RJBDP”) fees We earn servicing fees from various banks for administrative services we provide related to our clients’ deposits that are swept to such banks as part of the Raymond James Bank Deposit Program, our multi-bank sweep program. The amounts received from third-party banks are variable in nature and fluctuate based on average client cash balances in the program, as well as the level of short-term interest rates and the interest paid to clients by the third-party banks on balances in the RJBDP. The fees are earned over time as the related administrative services are performed and are received monthly. Our PCG segment also earns servicing fees from our Bank segment, which is calculated as the greater of a base servicing fee or a net yield equivalent to the average yield that the firm would otherwise receive from third-party banks in the RJBDP. These intersegment fees, and the offsetting intersegment expense in the Bank segment, are eliminated in consolidation. Investment banking We earn revenues from investment banking transactions, including the underwriting and placement of public and private equity and debt securities, private capital fundraising, merger & acquisition advisory services, and other advisory services. The fees we earn are generally based on the amount of the transaction (e.g., the amount financed), as well as our role in the transaction. Underwriting revenues, which are typically deducted from the proceeds remitted to the issuer, are recognized on trade date if there is no uncertainty or contingency related to the amount to be received. Fees from merger & acquisition and advisory services are generally recognized at the time the services related to the transaction are completed under the terms of the engagement. Fees for merger & acquisition and advisory services are typically received upfront, as non-refundable retainer fees, and/or upon completion of a transaction as a success fee. Expenses related to investment banking transactions are generally deferred until the related revenues are recognized or the services are otherwise concluded. Such expenses, when recognized, are included in “Professional fees” on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Cash and cash equivalents Our cash equivalents include money market funds or highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less as of our date of purchase, other than those held for trading purposes. 97 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Assets segregated for regulatory purposes and restricted cash We segregate cash for regulatory and other purposes predominantly related to client activity. Our broker-dealers carrying client accounts are generally subject to requirements to maintain cash or qualified securities on deposit in a segregated reserve account for the exclusive benefit of their clients. Such amounts are included in “Assets segregated for regulatory purposes and restricted cash” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of each respective period end. These amounts largely include cash and cash equivalents but may also include highly liquid securities, such as U.S. Treasury securities (“U.S. Treasuries”), which are carried at fair value on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These assets are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. We may also from time to time be required to restrict cash for other corporate purposes. In addition, Raymond James Ltd. (“RJ Ltd.”) holds client Registered Retirement Savings Plan funds in trust in accordance with Canadian retirement plan regulations. Collateralized agreements and financings Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase We purchase securities under short-term agreements to resell (“reverse repurchase agreements”). Additionally, we sell securities under short-term agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”). Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized agreements and collateralized financings, respectively, and are carried at contractual amounts plus accrued interest. We receive collateral with a fair value that is typically equal to or in excess of the principal amount loaned under reverse repurchase agreements to mitigate credit exposure. To ensure that the market value of the underlying collateral remains sufficient, collateral values are evaluated on a daily basis, and collateral is obtained from or returned to the counterparty when contractually required. Under repurchase agreements, we are required to post collateral in an amount that typically exceeds the carrying value of these agreements. In the event that the market value of the securities we pledge as collateral declines, we may have to post additional collateral or reduce borrowing amounts. Reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements are included in “Collateralized agreements” and “Collateralized financings,” respectively, on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 7 for additional information regarding collateralized agreements and financings. Securities borrowed and securities loaned We may act as an intermediary between broker-dealers and other financial institutions whereby we borrow securities from one counterparty and then either lend them to another counterparty or use them in our broker-dealer operations to cover short positions or finance certain firm activities. Where permitted, we have also loaned, to broker-dealers and other financial institutions, securities owned by the firm or our clients or others we have received as collateral. Securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions are accounted for as collateralized agreements and collateralized financings, respectively, and are recorded at the amount of cash advanced or received. In securities borrowed transactions, we are required to deposit cash with the lender in an amount which is generally in excess of the market value of securities borrowed. With respect to securities loaned, we generally receive cash in an amount in excess of the market value of securities loaned. We evaluate the market value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded as necessary. Securities borrowed and securities loaned are included in “Collateralized agreements” and “Collateralized financings,” respectively, on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 7 for additional information regarding collateralized agreements and financings. 98 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Financial instruments, financial instrument liabilities, at fair value “Financial instruments” and “Financial instrument liabilities” are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined by GAAP as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. In determining the fair value of our financial instruments in accordance with GAAP, we use various valuation approaches, including market and/or income approaches. Fair value is a market-based measurement considered from the perspective of a market participant. As such, our fair value measurements reflect assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. GAAP provides for the following three levels to be used to classify our fair value measurements. Level 1 - Financial instruments included in Level 1 are highly liquid instruments valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Financial instruments reported in Level 2 include those that have pricing inputs that are other than unadjusted quoted prices in active markets, but which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date (i.e., prices for similar instruments). Level 3 - Financial instruments reported in Level 3 have little, if any, market activity and are measured using one or more inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These valuations require judgment and estimation. These instruments are generally valued using discounted cash flow techniques. GAAP requires that we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when performing our fair value measurements. The availability of observable inputs can vary by instrument and, in certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement of an instrument requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the instrument. Valuation techniques and inputs The fair values of certain financial instruments are derived using pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of our financial instruments. Financial instruments which are actively traded will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments that are less frequently traded. In accordance with GAAP, the criteria used to determine whether the market for a financial instrument is active or inactive is based on the particular asset or liability. For debt securities, our definition of actively traded is based on security type, considering liquidity and price transparency. For equity securities, our definition of actively traded is based on average daily trading volume. We have determined the market for other types of financial instruments to be uncertain or inactive as of both September 30, 2024 and 2023. As a result, the valuation of these financial instruments included management judgment in determining the relevance and reliability of market information available. The level within the fair value hierarchy, specific valuation techniques, and other significant accounting policies pertaining to financial instruments at fair value on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition are described as follows. Trading assets and trading liabilities Trading assets and trading liabilities are comprised primarily of the financial instruments held by our broker-dealer subsidiaries and include debt securities, equity securities, brokered certificates of deposit, and other financial instruments. Trading assets and trading liabilities are recorded at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reflected in “Principal transactions” in current period net income. When available, we use quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of our trading assets and trading liabilities. Such instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When trading instruments are traded in secondary markets and quoted market prices for identical instruments do not exist, we utilize valuation techniques, including matrix pricing, to estimate fair value. Matrix pricing generally utilizes spread-based models periodically re-calibrated to observable inputs such as market trades or to dealer price bids in similar securities in order 99 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index to derive the fair value of the instruments. Valuation techniques may also rely on other observable inputs such as yield curves, interest rates and expected principal prepayments and default probabilities. We utilize prices from third-party pricing services to corroborate our estimates of fair value. Depending upon the type of security, the pricing service may provide a listed price, a matrix price or use other methods. Securities valued using these techniques are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Within each broker-dealer subsidiary, we offset our long and short positions for identical securities recorded at fair value as part of our trading assets (long positions) and trading liabilities (short positions). Available-for-sale securities Available-for-sale securities, which are held in our Bank segment, are classified at the date of purchase. They are comprised primarily of agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), U.S. Treasuries, and other securities which a re guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. Available-for-sale securities are used as part of our interest rate risk and liquidity management strategies and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks, or other factors. The fair values of our available-for-sale securities are determined by obtaining prices from third-party pricing services, which are primarily based on valuation models. The third-party pricing services provide comparable price evaluations utilizing observable market data for similar securities. Such observable market data is comprised of benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data (including market research publications), and loan performance experience. We utilize other third-party pricing services to corroborate the pricing information obtained from the primary pricing service. The majority of our available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; however, certain available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Interest on available-for-sale securities is recognized in interest income on an accrual basis, with the related accrued interest not yet received reflected in “Other receivables” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as an adjustment to yield over the estimated average life of the security, after factoring in the impact of prepayments. Unrealized gains or losses due to market factors on available-for-sale securities are recorded through other comprehensive income/(loss) (“OCI”), net of applicable taxes, and are thereafter presented in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are recognized using the specific identification method and are reflected in “Other” revenue in the period sold. Derivative assets and derivative liabilities Our derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value and are included in “Derivative assets” and “Derivative liabilities” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. To reduce credit exposure on certain of our derivative transactions, we may enter into a master netting arrangement that allows for net settlement of all derivative transactions with each counterparty within the same subsidiary. In addition, the credit support annex 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. Generally the collateral we accept is in the form of either cash or marketable securities. Where permitted, we elect to net-by-counterparty certain derivatives entered into under a legally enforceable master netting agreement and, therefore, the fair value of those derivatives are netted by counterparty on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As we elect to net-by-counterparty the fair value of such derivatives, we also net-by-counterparty cash collateral exchanged as part of those derivative agreements. Collateral received in the form of marketable securities is not offset as part of such derivative agreements. We may also require certain counterparties to make a cash deposit at the inception of a derivative agreement, referred to as “initial margin.” This initial margin is included in “Cash and cash equivalents” and “Other payables” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We are also required to maintain deposits with the clearing organizations we utilize to clear certain of our interest rate derivatives, for which we have generally posted securities as collateral. This initial margin is included as a component of “Other investments” and “Available-for-sale securities” on our 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” and are considered to be settlement of the related derivatives. 100 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Interest rate derivatives We enter into interest rate derivatives as part of our trading activities in our fixed income business to facilitate client transactions or to actively manage risk exposures that arise from our client activity, including a portion of our trading inventory. In addition, we enter into interest rate derivatives with clients of our Bank segment, including clients with whom we have entered into loans or other lending arrangements, to facilitate their respective interest rate risk management strategies. The majority of these derivatives are traded in the over-the-counter market and are executed directly with another counterparty or are cleared and settled through a clearing organization. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on such derivatives are recorded in “Principal transactions” on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The fair values of these interest rate derivatives are obtained from internal or third-party pricing models that consider current market trading levels and the contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as time value, yield curve and other volatility factors underlying the positions. Since these model inputs can be observed in liquid markets and the models do not require significant judgment, such derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We corroborate the output of our internal pricing models by preparing an independent calculation using a third-party model. Our fixed income business also holds to-be-announced security contracts that are accounted for as derivatives, which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. We enter into primarily floating-rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) to, in part, fund lending and investing activities in our Bank segment and then enter into interest rate contracts which swap variable interest payments on a portion of such borrowings for fixed interest payments. We also enter into interest rate contracts which swap variable interest payments associated with certain money market and saving account deposits for fixed interest payments. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and effectively fix a portion of our Bank segment’s cost of funds and mitigate a portion of the market risk associated with its lending and investing activities. The gains or losses on our Bank segment’s cash flow hedges are recorded, net of tax, in shareholders’ equity as a component of AOCI and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, specifically upon the incurrence of interest expense on the hedged borrowings and deposits. Hedge effectiveness is assessed at inception and at each reporting period utilizing regression analysis. As the key terms of the hedging instrument and hedged transaction match at inception, management expects the hedges to be effective while they are outstanding. The fair value of these interest rate swaps is determined by obtaining valuations from a third-party pricing service. These third-party valuations are based on observable inputs such as time value and yield curves. We validate these observable inputs by preparing our own independent calculation using a secondary model. Cash flows from hedging activities are included in the same category as the items being hedged. Cash flows from derivative instruments used to manage interest rates are classified as operating activities. We classify these derivatives within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Foreign-exchange derivatives We enter into three-month forward foreign exchange contracts primarily to hedge the risks related to Raymond James Bank’s investment in its Canadian subsidiary, as well as its risk resulting from transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The majority of these derivatives are designated as net investment hedges. The gains or losses related to these designated net investment hedges are recorded, net of tax, in shareholders’ equity as part of the cumulative translation adjustment component of AOCI. In the event the net investment is sold or substantially liquidated, the associated cumulative translation adjustment, including amounts related to the net investment hedge, are reclassified to “Other” revenues. Gains and losses on undesignated derivative instruments are recorded in “Other” revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Hedge effectiveness is assessed at each reporting period using a method that is based on changes in forward rates and measured using the hypothetical derivatives method. As the terms of the hedging instrument and hypothetical derivative generally match at inception, the hedge is expected to be highly effective. The fair values of our forward foreign exchange contracts are determined by obtaining valuations from a third-party pricing service or model. These valuations are based on observable inputs such as spot rates, forward foreign exchange rates and both U.S. and foreign interest rate curves. We validate the observable inputs utilized in the third-party valuation model by preparing an independent calculation using a secondary valuation model. These forward foreign exchange contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Other investments Other investments consist primarily of private equity investments, securities pledged as collateral with clearing organizations, and term deposits with Canadian financial institutions. Our securities pledged as collateral with clearing organizations, which primarily include U.S. Treasuries, and term deposits are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. 101 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Private equity investments consist primarily of investments in third-party private equity funds. The private equity funds in which we invest are primarily closed-end funds in which our investments are generally not eligible for redemption. We receive distributions from these funds as the underlying assets are liquidated or distributed. These investments are measured at fair value with any gains or losses recognized in “Other” revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The fair values of substantially all of our private equity investments are determined utilizing the net asset value (“NAV”) of the fund as a practical expedient with the remainder utilizing Level 3 valuation techniques. Client-owned fractional shares Within our broker-dealer subsidiaries, when dividend reinvestment programs or other corporate action events result in clients receiving a share quantity that is not a whole number, we transact in the fractional shares on a principal basis. We include these fractional shares in “Other assets” in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and record an associated liability to the client in “Other payables” as we must fulfill our clients’ future fractional share redemptions. We account for the fractional share assets and the liability to the client at fair value. The fair values of the fractional share assets and liabilities are determined based on quoted prices in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Brokerage client receivables, net Brokerage client receivables include receivables from the clients of our broker-dealer subsidiaries and are principally for amounts due on cash and margin transactions. Such receivables are generally collateralized by securities owned by the clients. Securities beneficially owned by clients, including those that collateralize margin or other similar transactions, are not reflected on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 7 for additional information regarding this collateral. Brokerage client receivables are reported at their outstanding principal balance, net of any allowance for credit losses. See the “Allowance for credit losses” section below for a discussion of our application of the practical expedient under the CECL guidance for financial assets secured by collateral. Other receivables, net Other receivables primarily include receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, receivables related to the RJBDP, accrued interest receivables, and accrued fees from product sponsors. Receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations primarily consist of cash deposits placed with clearing organizations, which includes cash deposited as initial margin, as well as receivables related to sales of securities which have traded but not yet settled including amounts receivable for securities failed to deliver. We present “Other receivables, net” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of any allowance for credit losses. However, these receivables generally have minimal credit risk due to the low probability of clearing organization default and the short-term nature of receivables related to securities settlements and therefore, the allowance for credit losses on such receivables is not significant. Any allowance for credit losses for other receivables is estimated using assumptions based on historical experience, current facts and other factors. We update these estimates through periodic evaluations against actual trends experienced. We include accrued interest receivables related to our financial assets in “Other receivables, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We reverse any uncollectible accrued interest against interest income when the related financial asset is moved to nonaccrual status. Given that we write off uncollectible amounts in a timely manner, we do not recognize an allowance for credit losses against accrued interest receivable. Bank loans, net Loans held for investment Bank loans are comprised of loans originated or purchased by our Bank segment and include securities-based loans (“SBL”), commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans, real estate investment trust (“REIT”) loans, residential mortgage loans, and tax-exempt loans. The loans which we have the intent and the ability to hold until maturity or payoff are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any premium paid in connection with the purchase of the loan or less any discounts received in connection with the purchase of the loan, less the allowance for credit losses and charge-offs, and net of deferred fees and costs on originated loans. Loan origination fees and direct costs, as well as premiums and discounts on loans that are not revolving, are capitalized and recognized in interest income using the effective interest method, taking into consideration scheduled payments and prepayments. Loan discounts include fair value adjustments associated with our acquisition of TriState Capital Bank which are accreted into interest income over the weighted-average life of the underlying 102 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index loans, estimated to approximate four years as of the acquisition date, which may vary based on prepayments. For revolving loans, the straight-line method is used based on the contractual term. Syndicated loans purchased in the secondary market are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. We segregate our loan portfolio into six loan portfolio segments, which also serve as classes of financing receivables for purposes of credit analysis. These portfolio segments are: SBL, C&I, CRE (primarily loans that are secured by income-producing properties and CRE construction loans), REIT (loans made to businesses that own or finance income-producing real estate), residential mortgage, and tax-exempt. Loans in our SBL portfolio segment are primarily collateralized by the borrower’s marketable securities at advance rates consistent with industry standards and, to a lesser extent, the cash surrender value of any applicable life insurance policies. An insignificant portion of our SBL portfolio is collateralized by private securities or other financial instruments with a limited trading market. See Note 8 for additional information on our bank loans held for investment. See the “Allowance for credit losses” section below for information on our allowance policies. Loans held for sale Certain residential mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market due to their fixed interest rate terms are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The fair values of the residential mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using observable prices obtained from counterparties for similar loans. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We purchase t he guaranteed portions of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and account f or these loans at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. We then aggregate SBA loans with similar characteristics into pools for securitization and sell these pools in the secondary market. Individual SBA loans may be sold prior to securitization. The fair values of the SBA loans which have not yet been securitized are determined based upon their committed sales price, third-party price quotes, or are determined using a third-party pricing service. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Once the SBA loans are securitized into a pool, the respective securities are classified as trading instruments based on our intention to sell the securities and are carried at fair value. Sales of the securitizations are accounted for as of settlement date, which is the date we have surrendered control over the transferred assets. We do not retain any interest in the securitizations once they are sold. Corporate loans, which include C&I, CRE and REIT loans, as well as tax-exempt loans are designated as held for investment upon inception and recorded in loans receivable. If we subsequently designate a corporate or tax-exempt loan as held for sale, which generally occurs as part of our credit management activities, we then write down the carrying value of the loan with a partial charge-off, if necessary, to carry it at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The fair value estimate is based on collateral value less selling costs for the collateral-dependent loans and discounted cash flows for loans that are not collateral-dependent. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Gains and losses on sales of residential mortgage loans held for sale, SBA loans that are not part of a securitized pool, and corporate loans transferred from the held for investment portfolio, are included as a component of “Other” revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, while interest collected on these assets is included in “Interest income.” Unfunded lending commitments We have outstanding at any time a significant number of commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance-sheet financial instruments such as revolving lines of credit, standby letters of credit and loan purchases. Our policy is generally to require customers to pledge collateral at the time of closing. The amount of collateral pledged, if it is deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral securing unfunded lending commitments varies but may include assets such as marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, real estate, and income-producing commercial properties. In the normal course of business, we issue or participate in the issuance of standby letters of credit whereby we provide an irrevocable guarantee of payment in the event the letter of credit is drawn down by the beneficiary. These standby letters of credit generally expire in one year or less. In the event that a letter of credit is drawn down, we would pursue repayment from the party under the existing borrowing relationship or would liquidate collateral, or both. The proceeds from repayment or liquidation of collateral are expected to satisfy the amounts drawn down under the existing letters of credit. 103 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index The allowance for potential credit losses associated with these unfunded lending commitments is included in “Other payables” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Refer to the “Allowance for credit losses” section that follows for a discussion of the reserve calculation methodology and Note 19 for additional information about these commitments. We recognize the revenue associated with corporate syndicated standby letters of credit, which is generally received quarterly, on a cash basis, the effect of which does not differ significantly from recognizing the revenue in the period the fee is earned. Unused corporate line of credit fees are accounted for on an accrual basis. Loan modifications In the normal course of business, we may modify the original terms of a loan agreement. In certain circumstances, we may agree to modify the original terms of a loan agreement to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, which may include a borrower in default, financial distress, bankruptcy, or other circumstances. Modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are designed to reduce our loss exposure while providing borrowers with an opportunity to work through financial difficulties, often to avoid foreclosure or bankruptcy. Loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty typically involve principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay (i.e., payment or maturity forbearance greater than six months), or a term extension, or any combination thereof. Modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are subject to our nonaccrual policies. See the “Nonperforming assets” section below for information on our nonaccrual policies. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 on October 1, 2023, loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, where such loans were restructured in a manner that granted a concession that would not normally be granted, were deemed to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). Such loans were subject to our nonaccrual policies. Nonperforming assets Nonperforming assets are comprised of both nonperforming loans and other real estate owned. Nonperforming loans include those loans which have been placed on nonaccrual status and any accruing loans which are 90 days or more past due and in the process of collection. Loans of all classes are generally placed on nonaccrual status when we determine that full payment of all contractual principal and interest is in doubt or the loan is past due 90 days or more as to contractual interest or principal unless the loan, in our opinion, is well-secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is written-off against interest income and accretion of the net deferred loan origination fees ceases. Interest is recognized using the cash method for SBL and substantially all residential mortgage loans, and the cost recovery method for corporate and tax-exempt loans thereafter until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. Most loans are returned to an accrual status when the loans have been brought contractually current with the original or amended terms and have been maintained on a current basis for a reasonable period, generally six months . However, corporate loans that have been partially charged off generally remain on nonaccrual status until such loans are fully repaid or sold. Other real estate acquired in the settlement of loans, including through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure, is initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs through a charge to the allowance for credit losses, thus establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed and the assets are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, as determined by a current appraisal or discounted cash flow valuation less estimated costs to sell, and are included in “Other assets” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Bank loan charge-off policies Corporate and tax-exempt loans are monitored on an individual basis, and loan grades are reviewed at least quarterly to ensure they reflect the loan’s current credit risk. When we determine that it is likely that a corporate or tax-exempt loan will not be collected in full, the loan is evaluated for a potential write down of the carrying value. After consideration of a number of factors, including the borrower’s ability to restructure the loan, alternative sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to repay the debt, the portion of the loan deemed to be a confirmed loss, if any, is charged-off. For collateral-dependent loans secured by real estate, the amount of the loan considered a confirmed loss and charged-off is generally equal to the difference between the recorded investment in the loan and the collateral’s appraised value less estimated costs to sell. For C&I and tax-exempt loans, we evaluate all sources of repayment to arrive at the amount considered to be a loss and charged-off. Corporate banking and credit risk managers also meet regularly to review criticized loans (i.e., loans that are rated special 104 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index mention or worse as defined by bank regulators). Additional charge-offs are taken when the value of the collateral changes or there is an adverse change in the expected cash flows. A portion of our corporate loan portfolio is comprised of participations in either Shared National Credits (“SNCs”) or other large syndicated loans in the U.S. and Canada. The SNCs are U.S. loan syndications totaling over $ 100 million that are shared between three or more regulated institutions. The agent bank’s regulator reviews a portion of SNC loans on a semi-annual basis and provides a synopsis of each loan’s regulatory classification, including loans that are designated for nonaccrual status and directed charge-offs. We must be at least as critical as the agent bank’s regulator with our nonaccrual designations, directed charge-offs, and classifications, potentially impacting our allowance for credit losses and charge-offs. Corporate loans are subject to our internal review procedures and regulatory review by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“the Fed”) and either the Florida Office of Financial Regulation or the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities as part of our respective banks’ regulatory examinations. Substantially all residential mortgage loans over 60 days past due are reviewed to determine loan status, collection strategy and charge-off recommendations. Charge-offs are typically considered on residential mortgage loans once the loans are delinquent 90 days or more and then generally taken before the loan is 120 days past due. A charge-off is taken against the allowance for credit losses for the difference between the loan amount and the amount that we estimate will ultimately be collected, based on the value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. We predominantly use broker price opinions for these valuations. If a loan remains in pre-foreclosure status for more than nine months , an updated valuation is obtained to determine if further charge-offs are necessary. Loans to financial advisors, net We offer loans to financial advisors for recruiting and retention purposes. The decision to extend credit to a financial advisor is generally based on their ability to generate future revenues. Loans offered are generally repaid over a five -to- ten year period, with interest recognized as earned, and are contingent upon continued affiliation with us. These loans are not assignable by the financial advisor and may only be assigned by us to a successor in interest. There is no fee income associated with these loans. In the event that the financial advisor is no longer affiliated with us, any unpaid balance of such loan becomes immediately due and payable to us and generally does not continue to accrue interest. Based upon the nature of these financing receivables, affiliation status (i.e., whether the advisor is actively affiliated with us or has terminated affiliation with us) is the primary credit risk factor within this portfolio. We present the outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of the allowance for credit losses. Refer to the allowance for credit losses section that follows for additional information related to our allowance for credit losses on our loans to financial advisors. See Note 9 for additional information on our loans to financial advisors. Loans to financial advisors who are actively affiliated with us are considered past due once they are 30 days or more delinquent as to the payment of contractual interest or principal. Such loans are placed on nonaccrual status when we determine that full payment of contractual principal and interest is in doubt, or the loan is past due 180 days or more as to contractual interest or principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is written-off against interest income. Interest is recognized using the cash method for these loans thereafter until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to an accrual status when the loans have been brought contractually current with the original terms and have been maintained on a current basis for a reasonable period, generally six months. When we determine that it is likely a loan will not be collected in full, the loan is evaluated for a potential write down of the carrying value. After consideration of the borrower’s ability to restructure the loan, sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to repay the debt, the portion of the loan deemed a confirmed loss, if any, is charged-off. A charge-off is taken against the allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost and the amount we estimate will ultimately be collected. Additional charge-offs are taken if there is an adverse change in the expected cash flows. Allowance for credit losses We evaluate our held for investment bank loans, unfunded lending commitments, loans to financial advisors and certain other financial assets to estimate an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) over the remaining life of the financial instrument. The remaining life of our financial assets is determined by considering contractual terms and expected prepayments, among other factors. We use multiple methodologies in estimating an allowance for credit losses and our approaches may differ by the subsidiary which holds the asset, the type of financial asset and the risk characteristics within each financial asset type. Our estimates are based on ongoing evaluations of the portfolio, the related credit risk characteristics, and the overall economic and 105 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index environmental conditions affecting the financial assets. For certain of our financial assets with collateral maintenance provisions (e.g., SBL, collateralized agreements, and margin loans), we apply the practical expedient allowed under the CECL guidance in estimating an allowance for credit losses. We reasonably expect that borrowers (or counterparties, as applicable) will replenish the collateral as required. As a result, we estimate zero credit losses to the extent that the fair value of the collateral equals or exceeds the related carrying value of the financial asset. When the fair value of the collateral securing the financial asset is less than the carrying value, qualitative factors such as historical experience (adjusted for current risk characteristics and economic conditions) as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts are considered in estimating the allowance for credit losses on the unsecured portion of the financial asset. Credit losses are charged-off against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of the financial asset is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance once received. A credit loss expense, or benefit, is recorded in earnings in an amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses to our estimate as of the end of each reporting period. Our provision or benefit for credit losses for outstanding bank loans is included in “Bank loan provision/(benefit) for credit losses” on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and our provision or benefit for credit losses for all other financing receivables, including loans to financial advisors, and unfunded lending commitments, is included in “Other” expense. Loans We generally estimate the allowance for credit losses on our loan portfolios using credit risk models which incorporate relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. After testing the reasonableness of a variety of economic forecast scenarios, each model is run using a single forecast scenario selected for such model. Our forecasts incorporate assumptions related to macroeconomic indicators including, but not limited to, U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”), equity market indices, unemployment rates, and commercial real estate and residential home price indices. At the conclusion of our reasonable and supportable forecast period, which currently ranges from two to four years depending on the model and macroeconomic variables, we generally use a straight-line reversion approach over a one-year period, where applicable, to revert to historical loss information for C&I, REIT and tax-exempt loans. For CRE and residential mortgage loans, we incorporate a reasonable and supportable forecast of various macroeconomic variables over the remaining life of the assets. The development of the forecast used for CRE and residential mortgage loans incorporates an assumption that each macroeconomic variable will revert to a long-term expectation starting in years two to four of the forecast and largely completing within the first five years of the forecast. We assess the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast period and the reversion period, our reversion approach, our economic forecasts and our methodology for estimating the historical loss information on a quarterly basis. The allowance for credit losses on loans is generally evaluated and measured on a collective basis, based on the subsidiary which holds the asset, and then typically by loan portfolio segment, due to similar risk characteristics. When a loan does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, the loan is evaluated for credit losses on an individual basis. Various risk characteristics are considered when determining whether the loan should be collectively evaluated including, but not limited to, financial asset type, internal risk ratings, collateral type, industry of the borrower, and historical or expected credit loss patterns. The allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans for each respective subsidiary is comprised of two components: (a) a quantitative allowance; and (b) a qualitative allowance, which is based on an analysis of model limitations and other factors not considered by the quantitative models. There are several factors considered in estimating the quantitative allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans which generally include, but are not limited to, the internal risk rating, historical loss experience (including adjustments due to current risk characteristics and economic conditions), prepayments, borrower-controlled extensions, and expected recoveries. We use third-party data for historical information on collectively evaluated corporate loans and residential mortgage loans. The qualitative portion of our allowance for credit losses includes certain factors that are not incorporated into the quantitative estimate and would generally require adjustments to the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are intended to address developing trends related to each portfolio segment and would generally include, but are not limited to: changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection; our loan review process; volume and severity of delinquent loans; changes in the seasoning of the loan portfolio and the nature, volume and terms of loans; loan diversification and credit concentrations; changes in the value of underlying collateral; changes in legal and regulatory environments; local, regional, national and international economic conditions, or recent catastrophic events not already reflected in the quantitative estimate; and the routine time delay between when economic data is gathered, analyzed and distributed by our service providers and current macroeconomic developments. 106 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Held for investment bank loans Raymond James Bank: The allowance for credit losses for the C&I, CRE, REIT, residential mortgage, and tax-exempt portfolio segments is estimated using credit risk models that project a probability of default (“PD”), which is then multiplied by the loss given default (“LGD”) and the estimated exposure at default (“EAD”) at the loan-level for every period remaining in the loan’s expected life, including the maturity period. Historical information, combined with macroeconomic variables, are used in estimating the PD, LGD and EAD. Our credit risk models consider several factors when estimating the expected credit losses which may include, but are not limited to, financial performance and position, estimated prepayments, geographic location, industry or sector type, debt type, loan size, capital structure, initial risk levels and the economic outlook. Additional factors considered by the residential mortgage model include FICO scores and loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios. TriState Capital Bank: The allowance for credit losses utilizes a lifetime or cumulative loss rate methodology, which identifies macroeconomic factors and asset-specific characteristics correlated with credit loss experience including loan age, loan type, and leverage. The lifetime loss rate is applied to the amortized cost of the loan and builds on default and recovery probabilities by utilizing pool-specific historical loss rates. These pool-specific historical loss rates may be adjusted for forecasted macroeconomic variables and other factors such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, or when historical asset terms do not reflect the contractual terms of the financial assets. Each quarter, the relevancy of historical loss information is assessed and management considers any necessary adjustments. Loss rates are based on historical averages for each loan pool, adjusted to reflect the impact of a single, forward-looking forecast of certain macroeconomic variables, including GDP, unemployment rates, corporate bond credit spreads, and commercial property values, which management considers to be both reasonable and supportable. See Note 8 for additional information about our bank loans, including credit quality indicators considered in developing the allowance for credit losses. Unfunded lending commitments We estimate credit losses on unfunded lending commitments using a methodology consistent with that used in the corresponding bank loan portfolio segment and also based on the expected funding probabilities for fully binding commitments. As a result, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded lending commitments will vary depending upon the mix of lending commitments and future funding expectations. All classes of individually evaluated unfunded lending commitments are analyzed in conjunction with the specific allowance process previously described. Loans to financial advisors The allowance for credit losses on loans to financial advisors is estimated using credit risk models that incorporate average annual loan-level loss rates and estimated prepayments based on historical data. The qualitative component of our estimate considers internal and external factors that are not incorporated into the quantitative estimate such as the reasonable and supportable forecast period. In estimating an allowance for credit losses on our individually-evaluated loans to financial advisors, we generally take into account the affiliation status of the financial advisor (i.e., whether the advisor is actively affiliated with us or has terminated affiliation with us), the borrower’s ability to restructure the loan, sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to repay the debt. Available-for-sale securities Credit losses on available-for-sale securities are limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value on the reporting date. Credit losses, if any, are recognized through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct reduction in amortized cost basis or the acquisition date fair value, as applicable. We expect zero credit losses on the portion of our available-for-sale securities portfolio that is comprised of U.S. government and government agency-backed securities and the related accrued interest receivable for which payments of both principal and interest are guaranteed, and for which we have not historically experienced any credit losses. In addition, we have the ability and intent to hold these securities and unrealized losses related to these available-for-sale securities are generally due to changes in market interest rates. On a quarterly basis, we reassess our expectation of zero credit losses on such securities, giving consideration to any relevant changes in the securities or the issuer. On a quarterly basis, we also evaluate non-agency-backed available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for expected credit losses. We first determine whether it is more likely than not that we will sell the impaired securities, giving consideration to current and forecasted liquidity requirements, regulatory and capital requirements, and our securities portfolio management. If it is more likely than not that we will sell an available-for-sale security with a fair value below amortized cost 107 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index before recovery, the security’s book basis is written down to fair value through earnings. For available-for-sale debt securities that it is more likely than not that we will not sell before recovery, a provision for credit losses is recorded through earnings for the amount of the valuation decline below book basis that is attributable to credit losses. We consider the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, credit ratings and other factors related to the security in assessing whether a credit loss exists, and we measure the credit loss by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the book basis of the security limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the book basis. The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and its book basis (that is, the decline in fair value not attributable to credit losses) is recognized in OCI on an after-tax basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provisions for credit losses. Losses are charged against the allowance when we believe the security is uncollectible or we intend to sell the security. At September 30, 2024, based on our assessment of those securities not guaranteed by the U.S government or its agencies, we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses. Identifiable intangible assets, net Certain identifiable intangible assets we acquire such as those related to customer relationships, core deposits, developed technology, trade names and non-compete agreements, are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis and are evaluated for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. Amortization expense and impairment losses, if any, related to our identifiable intangible assets are included in “Other” expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. We also hold indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets, which are not amortized. Rather, these assets are subject to an evaluation of potential impairment on an annual basis to determine whether the estimated fair value is in excess of its carrying value, or between annual impairment evaluation dates, if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. In the course of our evaluation of the potential impairment of such indefinite-lived assets, we may elect either a qualitative or a quantitative assessment. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value is greater than its carrying amount, we are not required to perform a quantitative impairment analysis. However, if we conclude otherwise, we then perform a quantitative impairment analysis. We have elected January 1 as our annual impairment evaluation date, evaluating balances as of December 31. See Note 11 for additional information regarding the outcome of our impairment assessment. Goodwill Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of the related net assets acquired. Indefinite-lived intangible assets such as goodwill are not amortized, but rather evaluated for impairment at least annually, or between annual impairment evaluation dates whenever events or circumstances indicate potential impairment exists. Impairment exists when the carrying value of a reporting unit, which is generally at the level of or one level below our business segments, exceeds its respective fair value. In the course of our evaluation of a potential impairment to goodwill, we may elect either a qualitative or a quantitative assessment. Our qualitative assessments consider macroeconomic indicators, such as trends in equity and fixed income markets, GDP, labor markets, interest rates, and housing markets. We also consider regulatory changes, as well as company-specific factors such as market capitalization, reporting unit specific results, and changes in key personnel and strategy. Changes in these indicators, and our ability to respond to such changes, may trigger the need for impairment testing at a point other than our annual assessment date. We assess these, and other, qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing a quantitative impairment analysis is not required. However, if we conclude otherwise, we then perform a quantitative impairment analysis. Alternatively, if we elect not to perform a qualitative assessment, we perform a quantitative evaluation. In the event of a quantitative assessment, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit with which the goodwill is associated and compare it to the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow model that includes significant assumptions about future operating results and cash flows and, if appropriate, a market approach. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than the estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess. We have elected January 1 as our annual goodwill impairment evaluation date, evaluating balances as of December 31. See Note 11 for additional information regarding the outcome of our goodwill impairment assessments. 108 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Other assets Other assets is primarily comprised of investments in company-owned life insurance, property and equipment, net, ROU lease assets, prepaid expenses, investments in FHLB and FRB stock, investments in real estate partnerships held by consolidated VIEs, and certain other investments which are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 12 for additional information. Other assets also includes client-owned fractional shares for which we act in a principal capacity. See our client-owned fractional shares policy above for additional information. We maintain investments in company-owned life insurance policies utilized to indirectly fund certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans and other employee benefit plans. These life insurance policies are recorded at cash surrender value as determined by the insurer. See Note 23 for information on the non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Ownership of FHLB and FRB stock is a requirement for all banks seeking membership into and access to the services provided by these banking systems. These investments are carried at cost. Raymond James Affordable Housing Investments, Inc. (“RJAHI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RJF, or one of its affiliates, acts as the managing member or general partner in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) funds and other funds of a similar nature, some of which require consolidation. These funds invest in housing project limited partnerships or limited liability companies (“LLCs”) which purchase and develop affordable housing properties generally qualifying for federal and state low-income housing tax credits and/or provide a mechanism for banks and other institutions to meet certain regulatory obligations. The investments in project partnerships of all of the LIHTC and other fund VIEs which require consolidation are included in “Other assets” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Our Bank segment holds investments which deliver tax benefits, including in LIHTC funds, some of which are managed by RJAHI. We also hold other investments in tax credit structures. These investments are included in “Other assets” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See the “Income taxes” section of this Note 2 for a discussion of our accounting for investments which qualify for tax credits. See additional discussion in this Note 2 regarding our evaluation and conclusions around consolidation of such VIEs. Property and equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and software amortization. Property and equipment primarily consists of software, buildings, certain leasehold improvements, and furniture. Software includes both purchased software and internally developed software that has been placed in service, as well as certain software projects where development is in progress. Buildings primarily consists of owned facilities. Leasehold improvements are generally costs associated with lessee-owned interior office space improvements. Equipment primarily consists of communications and technology hardware. Depreciation of assets (other than land, which is not depreciated) is primarily calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally within ranges outlined in the following table. Asset type Estimated useful life Buildings, building components and land improvements 15 to 40 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 to 10 years Software 2 to 10 years Leasehold improvements (lessee-owned) Lesser of useful life or lease term Costs for significant internally developed software projects are capitalized when the costs relate to development of new applications or modification of existing internal-use software that results in additional functionality. Internally developed software project costs related to preliminary-project and post-project activities are expensed as incurred. Additions, improvements and expenditures that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, as well as all maintenance costs associated with software applications, are expensed in the period incurred. Depreciation expense associated with property and equipment is included in “Occupancy and equipment” expense on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Amortization expense associated with computer software is included in “Communications and information processing” expense on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses on disposals of property and equipment are included in “Other” revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period of disposal. See Note 13 for additional information regarding our property and equipment. 109 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Leases We have operating leases for the premises we occupy in many of our U.S. and foreign locations, including our employee-based branch office operations. At inception, we determine if an arrangement to utilize a building or piece of equipment is a lease and, if so, the appropriate lease classification. Substantially all of our leases are operating leases. If the arrangement is determined to be a lease, we recognize a ROU lease asset in “Other assets” and a corresponding lease liability in “Other payables” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. ROU lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We elected the practical expedient, where leases with an initial or acquired term of 12 months or less are not recorded as a ROU lease asset or lease liability. Our lease terms include any noncancelable periods and may reflect periods covered by options to extend or terminate when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. We record our ROU lease assets at the amount of the lease liability plus any prepaid rent, amounts paid for lessor-owned leasehold improvements, and initial direct costs, less any lease incentives and accrued rent. We record lease liabilities at commencement date (or acquisition date, for leases assumed through acquisitions) based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which is discounted using our commencement date or acquisition date incremental borrowing rate, or at the imputed rate within the lease, as appropriate. Our incremental borrowing rate considers the weighted-average yields on our senior notes payable, adjusted for collateralization and tenor. Payments that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, such as operating expense payments under a real estate lease, are considered variable and are expensed in the period incurred. For our real estate leases, we elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease. Lease expense for our lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term if the ROU lease asset has not been impaired or abandoned. See Note 14 for additional information on our leases. Bank deposits Bank deposits include money market accounts, savings accounts, interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing demand deposits, and certificates of deposit held at Raymond James Bank and TriState Capital Bank. Raymond James Bank deposits include deposits that are swept from the investment accounts of PCG clients through the RJBDP which are included in money market and savings accounts, as well as deposits associated with our Enhanced Savings Program (“ESP”) which are primarily included within interest-bearing demand deposits, and certificates of deposit. TriState Capital Bank’s deposits are primarily comprised of money market and savings accounts, including RJBDP deposits, and interest-bearing demand deposits. Deposits are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Interest on deposits is accrued and charged to interest expense daily and is paid or credited in accordance with the terms of the respective accounts. The interest rates on the vast majority of our deposits are determined based on market rates and, in certain cases, may be linked to an index, such as the effective federal funds rate. See Note 15 for additional detail regarding deposits. Contingent liabilities We recognize liabilities for contingencies when there is an exposure that, when fully analyzed, indicates it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Whether a loss is probable, and if so, the estimated range of possible loss, is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, a variety of assumptions, and uncertainties. When a loss is probable and a range of possible loss can be estimated, we accrue the most likely amount within that range; if the most likely amount of possible loss within that range is not determinable, the minimum amount in the range of loss is accrued. No liability is recognized for those matters which, in management’s judgment, the determination of a reasonable estimate of loss is not possible, or for which a loss is not determined to be probable. We record liabilities related to legal and regulatory proceedings in “Other payables” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The determination of these liability amounts requires significant judgment on the part of management. Management considers many factors including, but not limited to: the amount of the claim; the amount of the loss experienced by the client; the basis and validity of the claim; the possibility of wrongdoing on the part of one of our employees or financial advisors; previous results in similar cases; and legal precedents and case law. Each legal proceeding or significant regulatory matter is reviewed in each accounting period and the liability balance is adjusted as deemed appropriate by management. Any change in the liability amount is recorded through “Other” expense on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The actual costs of resolving legal matters or regulatory proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the recorded liability amounts for such matters. Our costs of defense related to such matters are expensed in the period they are incurred. Such defense costs are primarily related to external legal fees which are included within “Professional fees” on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 19 for additional information. 110 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Share-based compensation We account for the compensation cost related to share-based payment awards made to employees, directors, and independent contractors based on the estimated fair values of the awards on the date of grant. The compensation cost of our share-based awards, net of estimated forfeitures, is amortized over the requisite service period of the awards. Share-based compensation amortization is included in “Compensation, commissions and benefits” expense on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 23 for additional information on our share-based compensation. Deferred compensation plans We maintain various deferred compensation plans for the benefit of certain employees and independent contractors that provide a return to the participant based upon the performance of various referenced investments. For the Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan (“VDCP”), Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), and certain other plans, we purchase and hold company-owned life insurance policies on the lives of certain current and former participants to provide a source of funds available to satisfy our obligations under the plan. See Note 12 for information regarding the carrying value of such policies. Compensation expense is recognized for all awards made under such plans with future service requirements over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. Changes in the value of the company-owned life insurance policies, as well as the expenses associated with the related deferred compensation plans, are recorded in “Compensation, commissions and benefits” expense on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 23 for additional information. Foreign currency translation The statements of financial condition of the foreign subsidiaries we consolidate are translated at exchange rates as of the period-end. The statements of income are translated either at an average exchange rate for the period or, in certain cases, at the exchange rate in effect on the date which transactions occur. The gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollar (“USD”) are included in OCI and are thereafter presented in equity as a component of AOCI. Gains and losses relating to transactions in currencies other than the respective subsidiaries’ functional currency are reported in “Other” revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Income taxes The objective of accounting for income taxes is to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year. We utilize the asset and liability method to provide for income taxes on all transactions recorded in our consolidated financial statements. This method requires that income taxes reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities for book and tax purposes. Accordingly, a deferred tax asset or liability for each temporary difference is determined based on the tax rates that we expect to be in effect when the underlying items of income and expense are realized. Our net deferred tax assets and net deferred tax liabilities presented on the financial statements are based upon the jurisdictional footprint of the firm. We consider our major jurisdictions for disclosure purposes to be federal, state, Canada, and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns, including the repatriation of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. See Note 18 for additional information on our income taxes. We hold equity investments in certain structures which deliver tax benefits, including LIHTC funds, historic tax credit (“HTC”) funds, and renewable energy tax credit investments. For those LIHTC, HTC, and renewable energy tax credit investments that qualify for application of the proportional amortization method, we apply such method. Under the proportional amortization method, such investment is amortized in proportion to the allocation of tax benefits received in each year, and the investment amortization and the tax benefits are presented on a net basis within “Provision for income taxes” on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The income tax credits and other income tax benefits received related to such investments are included in “Cash flows from operating activities” on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. When our tax credit equity investments do not qualify for the proportional amortization method, we record the investment amortization, through the application of the equity method of accounting, in “Other” expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and the federal tax credits that result from such investments are recorded using the flow-through method where the benefits reduce our provision for income taxes in the year the tax credits are earned. As a result, inclusion of these tax credits may not align to the year in which we amortize the related investments. Other income or losses generated from such investments are generally included in “Other” income or “Other” expenses, respectively, on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and in “ Cash flows from operations ” on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 111 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Earnings per share (“EPS”) Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Earnings attributable to common shareholders represents net income reduced by preferred stock dividends as well as the allocation of earnings and dividends to participating securities. Diluted EPS is calculated similarly to basic EPS adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and certain restricted stock units (“RSUs”) by application of the treasury stock method. Evaluation of VIEs to determine whether consolidation is required A VIE requires consolidation by the entity’s primary beneficiary. Examples of entities that may be VIEs include certain legal entities structured as corporations, partnerships or LLCs. 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. We hold variable interests primarily in the following VIEs: certain private equity investments, a trust fund established for employee retention purposes (“Restricted Stock Trust Fund”), certain LIHTC funds or funds of a similar nature, and certain other investment structures for which we receive tax credits. See Note 10 for additional information on our VIEs. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE We consolidate VIEs that are subject to assessment when we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The process for determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE is to conclude whether we are a party to the VIE holding a variable interest that meets both of the following criteria: (1) has the power to make decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that in either case could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our determination of the primary beneficiary of each entity in which an RJF subsidiary has a variable interest requires judgment and is based on an analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances, including: (1) an assessment of the characteristics of the variable interest and other involvement the subsidiary has with the entity, including involvement of related parties and any de facto agents, as well as the involvement of other variable interest holders, namely, limited partners or investor members, and (2) the entity’s purpose and design, including the risks that the entity was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. LIHTC funds RJAHI is the managing member or general partner in a number of LIHTC funds having one or more investor members or limited partners. These LIHTC funds are organized as LLCs or limited partnerships for the purpose of investing in a number of project partnerships, which are limited partnerships or LLCs that purchase and develop, or hold, low-income housing properties qualifying for tax credits and/or provide a mechanism for banks and other institutions to meet their Community Reinvestment Act obligations throughout the U.S. In the design of most tax credit fund VIEs, the investor members invest solely for tax attributes associated with the portfolio of low-income housing properties held by the fund. However, certain fund VIEs which invest and hold project partnerships that have already delivered most of the tax credits to their investors hold the projects to monetize anticipated future tax benefits for which the project may ultimately qualify. In both instances, RJAHI, as the managing member or general partner of the fund, is responsible for overseeing the fund’s operations. RJAHI sponsors two general types of tax credit funds designed to deliver tax benefits to the investors. Generally, neither type meets the VIE consolidation criteria. These types of funds include single investor funds and multi-investor funds. RJAHI does not typically provide guarantees related to the delivery or funding of tax credits or other tax attributes to the investor members or limited partners of tax credit funds. The investor member(s) or limited partner(s) of the VIEs bear the risk of loss on their investment. Additionally, under the tax credit fund’s designed structure, the investor member(s) or limited partner(s) receive nearly all of the tax credits and tax-deductible loss benefits designed to be delivered by the fund entity, as well as a majority of any proceeds upon a sale of a project partnership held by a tax credit fund (fund level residuals). RJAHI earns fees from the fund for its services in organizing the fund, identifying and acquiring the project partnership investments and ongoing asset management, and receives a share of any residuals arising from sale of project partnerships upon the termination of the fund. 112 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index In single investor funds that deliver tax benefits, RJAHI has concluded that the one single investor member or limited partner in such funds, in nearly all instances, has significant participating rights over the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the fund. Therefore RJAHI, as managing member or general partner of such funds, is not the one party with power over such activities and resultantly is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of such single investor funds and, in nearly all cases, these funds are not consolidated. In multi-investor funds that deliver tax benefits, RJAHI has concluded that since the participating rights over the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the fund are not held by one single investor member or limited partner, RJAHI is deemed to have the power over such activities. RJAHI then assesses whether its projected benefits to be received from the multi-investor funds, primarily its share of any residuals upon the termination of the fund, are potentially significant to the fund. As such residuals received upon termination are not expected to be significant to the funds, in nearly all cases, these funds are not consolidated. RJAHI may also sponsor other funds designed to hold projects to monetize future tax benefits for which the projects may qualify in either single investor or multi-investor form. In single investor form, the limited partner has significant participating rights over the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the fund, and therefore RJAHI is not the primary beneficiary of such funds and such funds are not consolidated. In multi-investor form, we have concluded that we meet the power criteria since participating rights are not held by any one single investor and thus RJAHI is deemed to have the power over such activities; however, we have concluded that we do not meet the benefits criteria given we do not expect the benefits to be potentially significant and therefore we are not the primary beneficiary and we do not consolidate the funds. Direct investments in LIHTC project partnerships Raymond James Bank and TriState Capital Bank are the investor members of LIHTC funds that deliver tax benefits which we have determined to be VIEs, and in which RJAHI, or its subsidiary, is the managing member. For Raymond James Bank, we have determined that it is the primary beneficiary of one such VIE and therefore, we consolidate the fund. TriState Capital Bank also holds investments in other LIHTC funds for which we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary. LIHTC funds which we consolidate are investor members in certain LIHTC project partnerships. Since unrelated third parties are the managing members of the investee project partnerships, we have determined that consolidation of these project partnerships is not required and the funds account for their project partnership investments under the equity method. These investments are included in “Other assets” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 19 for information regarding our commitments to these investments. Private Equity Interests As part of our private equity investments, we hold investments in certain third-party partnerships (our “Private Equity Interests”). We evaluated the characteristics of these Private Equity Interests and concluded that they are VIEs. In our analysis of the criteria to determine whether we were the primary beneficiary of the Private Equity Interests VIEs, we analyzed the power and benefits criteria. We have determined 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 these VIEs. Restricted Stock Trust Fund We utilize a trust in connection with certain of our RSU awards. This trust fund was established and funded for the purpose of acquiring our common stock in the open market to be used to settle RSUs granted as a retention vehicle for certain employees of our Canadian subsidiaries. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, consolidate this trust fund. Acquisitions Our financial statements include the operations of acquired businesses starting from the completion of the acquisition. Acquisitions are generally recorded as business combinations, whereby the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded on the date of acquisition at their respective estimated fair values, including any identifiable intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of certain acquired assets and liabilities. The fair value estimates are based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but are inherently uncertain as they pertain to forward-looking views of our businesses, client behavior, and market conditions. We consider the income, market and cost approaches and place reliance on the approach or approaches deemed most 113 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index appropriate to estimate the fair value of acquired intangible assets. Significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the valuations reflect a consideration of other marketplace participants and include the amount and timing of future cash flows (including expected growth rates and profitability) and the discount rate applied to the cash flows. Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment. With the exception of certain customer relationships, the majority of our acquired intangible assets (e.g., customer relationships, trade names and non-compete agreements) are expected to have determinable useful lives. We estimate the useful lives of these intangible assets based on a number of factors including competitive environment, market share, trademark, brand history, underlying demand, and operating plans. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life. Refer to Note 3, Note 11, and our goodwill and intangible assets policies above for additional information. NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS Acquisitions completed during the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 There were no significant acquisitions completed during the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Acquisitions completed during the year ended September 30, 2022 On January 21, 2022, we completed our acquisition of U.K.-based Charles Stanley Group PLC (“Charles Stanley”) using cash on hand as of the acquisition date. Charles Stanley provides financial planning, investment advisory, and securities transaction services in the U.K. through multiple affiliation options. Charles Stanley has been integrated into our PCG segment and its results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of January 21, 2022. The goodwill associated with the Charles Stanley acquisition, which has been allocated to our PCG segment and primarily represents synergies from combining Charles Stanley with our existing businesses, is not deductible for tax purposes. On June 1, 2022, we completed our acquisition of all the outstanding shares of TriState Capital, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners, LLC (“Chartwell”), in a cash and stock transaction. TriState Capital Bank serves the commercial banking needs of middle-market businesses and financial services providers and the private banking needs of high-net-worth individuals. Chartwell, a registered investment adviser, provides investment management services primarily to institutional investors, mutual funds, and individual investors. TriState Capital Bank operates as a separately branded firm and as an independently-chartered bank. TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell have been integrated into our Bank and Asset Management segments, respectively, and their results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of June 1, 2022. The goodwill associated with this acquisition, which has been allocated to our Bank segment and primarily represents synergies from combining TriState Capital with our existing businesses, is not deductible for tax purposes. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, TriState Capital common stockholders received $ 6.00 cash and 0.25 shares of RJF common stock for each share of TriState Capital common stock. Additionally, the TriState Capital Series C Perpetual Non-Cumulative Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock (“Series C Convertible Preferred Stock”) was converted to common shares at the prescribed exchange ratio and cashed out at $ 30 per share, and each share of TriState Capital’s 6.75 % Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and TriState Capital’s 6.375 % Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock was converted, respectively, into the right to receive one share of a newly created 6.75 % Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and 6.375 % Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) of RJF. The fair values of these newly created Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock were estimated as of the June 1, 2022 acquisition date based on quoted market prices for the instruments. On April 3, 2023, we redeemed all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock that was issued in connection with the acquisition of TriState Capital. See Note 20 for additional details on this preferred stock and the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. 114 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Furthermore, as a component of our total purchase consideration for TriState Capital on June 1, 2022, in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, 551 thousand RJF RSAs were issued at terms that mirrored RSAs of TriState Capital which were outstanding as of the acquisition date. In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, the TriState Capital RSAs were converted to RJF RSAs using an exchange ratio that considered the RJF volume weighted average price for 10 trading days ending on the third business day prior to the closing of the acquisition. The fair value of the RSAs upon completion of the transaction was calculated as of the June 1, 2022 acquisition date based on the June 1, 2022 closing share price of our common stock and was allocated between the pre-acquisition service period ($ 28 million treated as purchase consideration) and the post-acquisition requisite service period, over which we will recognize share-based compensation amortization. See Note 23 for additional details on these RSAs. On December 15, 2021, during the period between announcement of the intent to acquire TriState Capital and the acquisition closing date, we had loaned TriState Capital $ 125 million under an unsecured fixed-to-floating rate note (the “Note”). The Note was set to mature on December 15, 2024 and bore interest at a fixed annual rate of 2.25 %. Upon acquisition, the Note reverted to an intercompany instrument and subsequent to the closing date, the Note was forgiven. In accordance with GAAP, as of the acquisition date the Note was considered to have been effectively settled and the acquisition-date fair value of $ 123 million was treated as purchase consideration and included in the purchase price. The fair value of the Note on the acquisition date was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments at the acquisition date. On July 1, 2022, we completed our acquisition of SumRidge Partners, LLC (“SumRidge Partners”) using cash on hand as of the acquisition date. SumRidge Partners is a technology-driven fixed income market maker specializing in investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and institutional preferred securities. The acquisition of SumRidge Partners added an institutional market-making operation, as well as additional trading technologies and risk management tools to our existing fixed income operations. SumRidge Partners has been integrated into our Capital Markets segment and its results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of July 1, 2022. The goodwill associated with the SumRidge Partners acquisition, which has been allocated to our Capital Markets segment and primarily represents synergies from combining SumRidge Partners with our existing businesses, is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. 115 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index We accounted for our completed acquisitions of Charles Stanley, TriState Capital, and SumRidge Partners as business combinations in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase price attributable to each acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values. The following table summarizes the aggregate purchase consideration, fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and resulting goodwill as of their respective acquisition dates. $ in millions, except share and per share amounts Fair value of aggregate purchase consideration: Fair value of common stock issued for TriState Capital acquisition: Shares of RJF common stock issued 7,861,189 RJF share price as of June 1, 2022 $ 97.74 Fair value of RJF common stock issued for TriState Capital common stock $ 768 Other common stock consideration 10 Total fair value of common stock issued for TriState Capital acquisition $ 778 Effective settlement of the Note related to the TriState Capital acquisition 123 Preferred stock issued for TriState Capital acquisition 120 RSAs issued for TriState Capital acquisition 28 Aggregate cash consideration paid for Charles Stanley, TriState Capital, and SumRidge Partners acquisitions (1) 1,045 Total fair value of aggregate purchase consideration $ 2,094 Fair value of assets acquired: Cash and cash equivalents $ 613 Assets segregated for regulatory purposes 1,890 Trading assets 631 Available-for-sale securities 1,524 Derivative assets 51 Brokerage client receivables 98 Other receivables 479 Bank loans 11,549 Identifiable intangible assets 334 All other assets acquired 303 Total assets acquired $ 17,472 Fair value of liabilities assumed: Bank deposits $ 12,593 Trading liabilities 552 Derivative liabilities 125 Brokerage client payables 2,064 Other borrowings 375 All other liabilities assumed 464 Total liabilities assumed $ 16,173 Fair value of net identifiable assets acquired $ 1,299 Goodwill $ 795 Goodwill by segment: PCG $ 164 Capital Markets 102 Bank 529 Total goodwill $ 795 (1) Cash consideration, which was funded utilizing cash on hand, included $ 6 per TriState Capital common share outstanding and $ 30 per TriState Capital Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, as well as other cash amounts paid to settle TriState Capital warrants and options outstanding as of the closing and cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Cash consideration associated with the Charles Stanley acquisition was denominated in British pounds sterling (“GBP”) and converted to USD using the spot rate of 1.3554 as of January 21, 2022. 116 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Determination of fair value The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities acquired: Cash and cash equivalents; Assets segregated for regulatory purposes; Brokerage client receivables; Other receivables; and Brokerage client payables : The pre-close carrying values of these assets and liabilities were a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Trading assets and liabilities : The pre-close carrying values of trading assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date were used as reasonable estimates of fair value. We utilized prices from third-party pricing services to corroborate these estimates of fair value. Available-for-sale securities : The fair values of available-for-sale securities were based on quoted market prices for the same or similar securities, recently executed transactions, or third-party pricing models. Derivatives assets and liabilities: The pre-close carrying amount of derivative assets and liabilities, which utilized valuations from third-party pricing services, were used as reasonable estimates of fair value. Bank loans : The estimated fair values for bank loans were determined using a discounted cash flow methodology that considered loan type and related collateral, credit loss expectations, classification status, market interest rates and other market factors from the perspective of a market participant. Loans were segregated into specific pools according to similar characteristics, including risk, interest rate type (i.e., fixed or floating), underlying benchmark rate, and payment type and were treated in the aggregate when determining the fair value of each pool. The discount rates were derived using a build-up method inclusive of the weighted average cost of funding, estimated servicing costs and an adjustment for liquidity and then compared to current origination rates and other relevant market data. Purchased loans were evaluated and classified as either purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”), which indicates that the loan has experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination, or non-PCD loans. For PCD loans, the sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses, which was determined as of the acquisition date using the same allowance methodology applied to the TriState Capital Bank loan portfolio as of September 30, 2022, became its initial amortized cost basis. The initial allowance for credit losses on PCD loans is established in purchase accounting, with a corresponding offset to goodwill (i.e., is not recorded in earnings). As required under GAAP, an initial allowance for credit losses on non-PCD loans is required to be established through a provision for credit losses (i.e., recorded in earnings) in the first reporting period following the acquisition. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses for PCD and non-PCD loans are recognized in the bank loan provision/(benefit) for credit losses. For non-PCD loans, the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance was considered the fair value mark. The non-credit discount or premium related to PCD loans and the fair value mark on non-PCD loans will be accreted or amortized into interest income over the weighted average life of the underlying loans, which may vary based on prepayments. Of the total bank loans acquired in the TriState Capital acquisition with an unpaid principal balance of $ 11.70 billion, $ 11.36 billion were considered non-PCD loans and $ 337 million were considered PCD loans. The following table reconciles the difference between the unpaid principal balance and purchase price of PCD loans at acquisition. $ in millions June 1, 2022 Unpaid principal balance of PCD loans $ 337 Allowance for credit losses on PCD loans ( 3 ) Non-credit discount on PCD loans ( 10 ) Purchase price of PCD loans $ 324 117 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Identifiable intangible assets : The fair values of the significant identifiable intangible assets were estimated using the following income approaches. • Customer relationships — The fair values of customer relationships were estimated using a multi-period excess earnings approach that considered future period post-tax earnings, as well as a discount rate. • Trade names — The fair values of trade names were estimated using a relief from royalty approach which was based on a forecast of the after-tax royalties we would save by ownership of the intangible assets rather than licensing the use of those assets. • Core deposit intangible (“CDI”) — The fair value of the CDI asset was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach, specifically the favorable source of funds method, that considered the servicing and interest costs of the acquired deposit base, an estimate of the cost associated with alternative funding sources, expected client attrition rates, deposit growth rates, and a discount rate. • Developed technology — The fair value of developed technology was estimated primarily using a multi-period excess earnings approach which was based on a forecast of the expected future net cash flows attributable to the assets over the estimated remaining lives of the assets. These cash flow forecasts were then adjusted to present value by applying appropriate discount rates based on current market rates that reflect the risks associated with the cash flow streams. All other assets acquired : All other assets acquired primarily included company-owned life insurance policies, ROU lease assets, investments in FHLB stock, and investments in LIHTC funds. The pre-close historical carrying values of company-owned life insurance policies, investments in FHLB stock and investments in LIHTC funds were used as a reasonable estimate of fair value. All other assets acquired also included ROU lease assets which were measured at the same amount as the lease liability, as adjusted to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease when compared with market terms (see “All other liabilities assumed” section below for additional details regarding acquired lease liabilities). Bank deposits : The fair values used for demand and savings deposits equaled the amounts payable on demand at the acquisition date. The fair values for time deposits were estimated by applying a discounted cash flow method to discount the principal and interest payments from maturity at the yields offered by similar banks as of the acquisition date. Other borrowings: Other borrowings was comprised of 5.75 % fixed-to-floating subordinated notes due 2030 and short-term FHLB advances (see Note 16 for additional details on these borrowings). The fair value of the subordinated note was estimated based on quoted market prices as of the valuation date. The carrying amount of the FHLB advances was a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments and that the vast majority are floating-rate advances. All other liabilities assumed : All other liabilities assumed primarily included payables to brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations, and accrued compensation, commissions, and benefits. The pre-close historical carrying values of these liabilities were used as a reasonable estimate of fair value. All other liabilities assumed also included lease liabilities and the fair value of unfunded lending commitments. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments determined using a discounted cash flow method based on our cost of borrowing, as if the acquired lease were a new lease at the acquisition date. The fair value of unfunded lending commitments was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. 118 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE Our “Financial instruments” and “Financial instrument liabilities” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition are recorded at fair value.

In comparison, as of September 30, 2023, 14 % of our assets and 2 % of our liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of both September 30, 2024 and 2023, Level 3 assets represented less than 1 % of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Investments in private equity measured at net asset value per share As a practical expedient, we utilize NAV or its equivalent to determine the recorded value of a portion of our private equity investments portfolio. We utilize NAV when the fund investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and the NAV of the fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of investment company accounting, including measurement of the investments at fair value. Our private equity portfolio as of September 30, 2024 primarily included investments in third-party funds, including growth equity, venture capital, and mezzanine lending fund investments. Our investments cannot be redeemed directly with the funds. 121 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Our investments are monetized through the liquidation of underlying assets of fund investments, the timing of which is uncertain. The following table presents the recorded value and unfunded commitments related to our private equity investments portfolio. $ in millions Recorded value Unfunded commitment September 30, 2024 Private equity investments measured at NAV $ 102 $ 26 Private equity investments not measured at NAV 7 Total private equity investments $ 109 September 30, 2023 Private equity investments measured at NAV $ 101 $ 29 Private equity investments not measured at NAV 7 Total private equity investments $ 108 Financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis along with the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the assets classified as level 3.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Financial instruments not recorded at fair value Many, but not all, of the financial instruments we hold were recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The following table presents the estimated fair value and fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities that are not recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at September 30, 2024 and 2023.

These financial instruments generally expose us to limited credit risk and have no stated maturities or have short-term maturities and carry interest rates that approximate market rates. Under the fair value hierarchy, cash and cash equivalents, including amounts segregated for regulatory purposes and restricted cash, are classified as Level 1 and collateralized agreements and financings are classified as Level 2. Bank loans, net: These financial instruments are primarily comprised of loans originated or purchased by our Bank segment and include SBL, C&I loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, REIT loans, and tax-exempt loans intended to be held until maturity or payoff. These financial instruments are primarily recorded at amounts that result from the application of the methodologies for loans held for investment summarized in Note 2. Certain bank loans are held for sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or market value. A portion of these loans held for sale, as well as certain held for investment loans which have been written-down, are recorded at fair value as nonrecurring fair value measurements and therefore are excluded from the preceding table. The fair values for both variable and fixed-rate loans held for investment are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, which includes our estimate of future credit losses expected to be incurred. The majority of these loans are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 2 for information regarding the fair value policies specific to loans held for sale. Receivables and other assets: Brokerage client receivables, other receivables, and certain other assets are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value and are classified as Levels 2 and 3 under the fair value hierarchy. As specified under GAAP, the FHLB and FRB stock are recorded at cost, which we have determined to approximate their estimated fair value, and are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. Loans to financial advisors, net: These financial instruments are primarily comprised of loans to financial advisors, primarily offered for recruiting and retention purposes. Loans to financial advisors, net are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value and are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 2 for information regarding loans to financial advisors, net. 123 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Bank deposits: The fair values for demand deposits are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of money market and savings accounts approximate their fair values as substantially all of these deposits are variable-rate accounts and short-term in nature. Demand deposits and money market and savings accounts are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates based on the remaining term of the deposit. Fixed-rate certificates of deposit were classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. Payables: Brokerage client payables and other payables are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value and are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. Other borrowings: Other borrowings primarily include 5.75 % fixed-to-floating subordinated notes due 2030 and our Bank segment’s borrowings from the FHLB. The fair value of the subordinated notes is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using market rates for borrowings of similar maturities and is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. FHLB advances reflect terms that approximate current market rates for similar loans and therefore, their carrying value approximates fair value. Our FHLB advances are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. Senior notes payable: The fair value of our senior notes payable is calculated based upon recent trades of those debt securities in the market. Our senior notes payable are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. NOTE 5 – AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES The following table details the amortized costs and fair values of our available-for-sale securities.

See Note 7 for additional information regarding available-for-sale securities pledged with the FHLB and FRB. 124 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index The following table details the contractual maturities, amortized costs, fair values and current yields for our available-for-sale securities. Weighted-average yields are calculated on a taxable-equivalent basis based on estimated annual income divided by the average amortized cost of these securities. Since our MBS and CMO available-for-sale securities are backed by mortgages, actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties. As a result, the weighted-average life of our available-for-sale securities portfolio, after factoring in estimated prepayments, was approximately 3.8 years as of September 30, 2024.

There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. During the year ended September 30, 2022, we received proceeds of $ 52 million from sales of available-for-sale securities resulting in insignificant gains. 126 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.

Cash flows related to our derivatives are included within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The significant accounting policies governing our derivatives, including our methodologies for determining fair value, are described in Note 2. Derivative balances included on our financial statements The following table presents the gross fair values and notional amounts of derivatives by product type, the amounts of counterparty and cash collateral netting on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, as well as collateral posted and received under credit support agreements that do not meet the criteria for netting under GAAP.

We expect to reclassify $ 14 million of interest expense out of AOCI and into earnings within the next 12 months. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are or will be hedged is three years . 127 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index The following table details the gains/(losses) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. These amounts do not include any offsetting gains/(losses) on the related hedged item.

Where we are subject to credit exposure, we perform a credit evaluation of counterparties prior to entering into derivative transactions and we continue to monitor their credit standings on an ongoing basis. We may require initial margin or collateral from counterparties, generally in the form of cash or 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. We also enter into derivatives with clients, typically interest rate derivatives, to which either of our bank subsidiaries have provided loans. Such derivatives are generally collateralized by marketable securities or other assets of the client. Interest rate and foreign exchange risk We are exposed to interest rate risk related to certain of our interest rate derivatives. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk related to our forward foreign exchange derivatives. On a daily basis, we monitor our risk exposure on our derivatives based on established sensitivity-based and foreign exchange spot limits. Derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features Certain of our derivative contracts contain provisions that require our debt to maintain an investment-grade rating from one or more of the major credit rating agencies or contain provisions related to default on certain of our outstanding debt. If our debt were to fall below investment-grade or we were to default on certain of our outstanding debt, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could terminate the derivative 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 were in a liability position was not significant at either September 30, 2024 or 2023. 128 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index NOTE 7 – COLLATERALIZED AGREEMENTS AND FINANCINGS Collateralized agreements are comprised of reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowed. Collateralized financings are comprised of repurchase agreements and securities loaned. We enter into these transactions in order to facilitate client activities, acquire securities to cover short positions and finance certain firm activities. The significant accounting policies governing our collateralized agreements and financings are described in Note 2. Our reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowing, and securities lending transactions 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 parties to the transaction. For financial statement purposes, we do not offset our reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed, and securities loaned because the conditions for netting as specified by GAAP are not met. Although not offset on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, these transactions are included in the following table. Collateralized agreements Collateralized financings $ in millions Reverse repurchase agreements Securities borrowed Total Repurchase agreements Securities loaned Total September 30, 2024 Gross amounts of recognized assets/liabilities $ 413 $ 336 $ 749 $ 402 $ 536 $ 938 Gross amounts offset on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition — — — — — — Net amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition 413 336 749 402 536 938 Gross amounts not offset on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition ( 413 ) ( 326 ) ( 739 ) ( 402 ) ( 522 ) ( 924 ) Net amounts $ — $ 10 $ 10 $ — $ 14 $ 14 September 30, 2023 Gross amounts of recognized assets/liabilities $ 187 $ 231 $ 418 $ 157 $ 180 $ 337 Gross amounts offset on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition — — — — — — Net amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition 187 231 418 157 180 337 Gross amounts not offset on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition ( 187 ) ( 224 ) ( 411 ) ( 157 ) ( 173 ) ( 330 ) Net amounts $ — $ 7 $ 7 $ — $ 7 $ 7 The total amount of collateral received under reverse repurchase agreements and the total amount of collateral posted under repurchase agreements exceeds the carrying value of these agreements on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Collateral received and pledged We receive cash and securities as collateral, primarily in connection with reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowing agreements, derivative transactions, and client margin loans. The collateral we receive reduces our credit exposure to individual counterparties. In many cases, we are permitted to deliver or repledge financial instruments we have received as collateral to satisfy our collateral requirements under our repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements or other secured borrowings, to satisfy deposit requirements with clearing organizations, or to otherwise meet either our or our clients’ settlement requirements. The following table presents financial instruments at fair value that we received as collateral, were not included on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and that were available to be delivered or repledged, along with the balances of such instruments that were delivered or repledged, to satisfy one of our purposes previously described.

The following table presents information about our assets that have been pledged for such purposes. September 30, $ in millions 2024 2023 Had the right to deliver or repledge $ 1,281 $ 1,091 Did not have the right to deliver or repledge $ 66 $ 63 We pledge certain of our bank loans and available-for-sale securities with the FHLB as security for both the repayment of certain borrowings and to secure capacity for additional borrowings as needed. The FHLB does not have the ability to sell or repledge such securities until they are borrowed against. We also pledge certain loans and available-for-sale securities with the FRB to be eligible to participate in the Federal Reserve’s discount window program and to participate in certain deposit programs. The FRB does not have the ability to sell or repledge such securities. For additional information regarding our outstanding FHLB advances see Note 16. The following table presents information about our assets that have been pledged with the FHLB or FRB. September 30, $ in millions 2024 2023 Assets pledged with the FHLB or FRB: Available-for-sale securities $ 3,979 $ 3,897 Bank loans 11,794 10,166 Total assets pledged with the FHLB or FRB $ 15,773 $ 14,063 NOTE 8 – BANK LOANS, NET Bank client receivables are comprised of loans originated or purchased by our Bank segment and include SBL, C&I loans, CRE loans, REIT loans, residential mortgage loans, and tax-exempt loans. These receivables are collateralized by first and, to a lesser extent, second mortgages on residential or other real property, other assets of the borrower, a pledge of revenue, securities, or are unsecured. We segregate our loan portfolio into six loan portfolio segments: SBL, C&I, CRE, REIT, residential mortgage, and tax-exempt. See Note 2 for a discussion of our accounting policies related to bank loans and the allowance for credit losses. Loan balances in the following tables are presented at amortized cost (outstanding principal balance net of unamortized purchase discounts or premiums, unearned income, deferred origination fees and costs, and charge-offs), except for certain held for sale loans recorded at fair value. Bank loans are presented on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at amortized cost (or fair value where applicable) less the allowance for credit losses. As it pertains to TriState Capital Bank’s 130 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index loans acquired as of June 1, 2022, the amortized cost of such purchased loans reflects the fair value of the loans on the acquisition date, and, as described further in Note 3, the purchase discount on such loans is accreted to interest income over the weighted-average life of the underlying loans, which may vary based on prepayments. The following table presents the balances for held for investment loans by portfolio segment and held for sale loans.

Held for sale loans We originated or purchased $ 2.80 billion, $ 2.74 billion, and $ 3.38 billion (exclusive of the loans acquired on June 1, 2022 in our acquisition of TriState Capital Bank) of loans held for sale during the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The majority of these loans were purchases of the guaranteed portions of SBA loans that were initially classified as loans held for sale upon purchase and subsequently transferred to trading instruments once they had been securitized into pools. Proceeds from the sales of these loans held for sale and not securitized amounted to $ 618 million, $ 835 million, and $ 1.29 billion for the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net gains resulting from such sales were insignificant for each of the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022. Purchases and sales of loans held for investment The following table presents purchases and sales of loans held for investment by portfolio segment. $ in millions C&I loans CRE loans REIT loans Residential mortgage loans Total Year ended September 30, 2024 Purchases $ 1,038 $ — $ 5 $ 296 $ 1,339 Sales $ 376 $ — $ 9 $ — $ 385 Year ended September 30, 2023 Purchases $ 465 $ 39 $ 24 $ 456 $ 984 Sales $ 643 $ — $ — $ — $ 643 Year ended September 30, 2022 Purchases $ 1,288 $ — $ — $ 1,207 $ 2,495 Sales $ 147 $ — $ — $ 1 $ 148 Sales in the preceding table represent the recorded investment (i.e., net of charge-offs and discounts or premiums) of loans held for investment that were transferred to loans held for sale and subsequently sold to a third party during the respective period. As more fully described in Note 2, corporate loan sales generally occur as part of our credit management activities. 131 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.

On October 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2022-02, which eliminated the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs. See Note 2 for additional information about this guidance. Loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty which were modified during the year ended September 30, 2024 were not significant. As of September 30, 2023, TDRs were $ 21 million, $ 3 million, and $ 10 million for C&I loans, CRE loans, and residential first mortgage loans, respectively. Other real estate owned, included in “Other assets” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, was insignificant at both September 30, 2024 and 2023. Collateral-dependent loans A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the underlying collateral.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Credit quality indicators The credit quality of our bank loan portfolio is summarized monthly by management using internal risk ratings, which align with the standard asset classification system utilized by bank regulators. 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 and generally are performing in accordance with the contractual terms. Special Mention – Loans which have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. These loans are not adversely classified and do not expose us 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 we 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 our books as an asset, without establishment of a specific valuation allowance or charge-off, is not warranted. We do not have any loan balances within this classification because, in accordance with our accounting policy, loans, or a portion thereof considered to be uncollectible are charged-off prior to the assignment of this classification. 133 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index The following tables present our held for investment bank loan portfolio by credit quality indicator.

The bank loan provision for credit losses for the year ended September 30, 2024 primarily reflected the impacts of loan growth, specific reserves, loan downgrades, and charge-offs in our C&I and CRE loan portfolios, partially offset by the favorable impacts of an improved economic forecast, loan repayments, and loan sales in the C&I loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments, which is included in “Other payables” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, was $ 22 million at both September 30, 2024 and 2023 and $ 19 million at September 30, 2022. 137 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTE 10 – 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 for a discussion of our principal involvement with VIEs and the accounting policies regarding determination of whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of VIEs. VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary Of the VIEs in which we hold an interest, we have determined that certain LIHTC funds and 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 following table. Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities may differ from the consolidated carrying value of assets and liabilities due to the elimination of intercompany assets and liabilities held by the consolidated VIE. $ in millions Aggregate assets Aggregate liabilities September 30, 2024 LIHTC funds $ 136 $ 60 Restricted Stock Trust Fund 19 19 Total $ 155 $ 79 September 30, 2023 LIHTC funds $ 51 $ 6 Restricted Stock Trust Fund 20 20 Total $ 71 $ 26 138 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.

The interest rates on our floating-rate advances are based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and reset daily. We use interest rate swaps to manage the risk of increases in interest rates associated with the majority our floating-rate FHLB advances by converting the balances subject to variable interest rates to a fixed interest rate. See Notes 2 and 6 for information regarding these interest rate swaps, which have been designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges. See Note 7 for additional information regarding bank loans and available-for-sale securities pledged with the FHLB as security for our FHLB borrowings. Subordinated notes As of September 30, 2024, we had subordinated notes due May 2030 outstanding, with an aggregate principal amount of $ 98 million. Our subordinated notes incur interest at a fixed rate of 5.75 % until May 2025 and thereafter at a variable interest rate equal to 3-month CME Term SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 5.62 % per annum. We may redeem these subordinated notes beginning in August 2025 at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. Credit Facility RJF and RJ&A are parties to a revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”), a committed unsecured line of credit under which either RJ&A or RJF have the ability to borrow. The Credit Facility has a term through April 2028 and provides for maximum borrowings of up to $ 750 million. The interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility are variable and based on SOFR, as adjusted for RJF’s credit rating. There were no borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023. There is a facility fee associated with the Credit Facility, which also varies with RJF’s credit rating (the “Variable Rate Facility Fee”). Based upon RJF’s credit rating as of September 30, 2024, the Variable Rate Facility Fee, which is applied to the committed amount, was 0.125 % per annum. Other In addition to the Credit Facility, we maintain various secured and unsecured lines of credit, which are generally utilized to finance certain fixed income trading instruments or for cash management purposes. Borrowings during the year were generally day to day and there were no borrowings outstanding on these arrangements as of September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023. The interest rates for these arrangements are variable and are based on a daily bank quoted rate, which may reference SOFR, the federal funds rate, a lender’s prime rate, the Canadian prime rate or another commercially available rate, as applicable. A portion of our fixed income transactions are cleared through a third-party clearing organization, which provides financing for the purchase of trading instruments to support such transactions. The amount of financing is based on the amount of trading inventory financed, as well as any deposits held at the clearing organization. Amounts outstanding under this financing arrangement are collateralized by a portion of our trading inventory and accrue interest based on market rates. While we had 145 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2024, the clearing organization is under no contractual obligation to lend to us under this arrangement. We also have other collateralized financings included in “Collateralized financings” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 7 for information regarding our other collateralized financing arrangements. NOTE 17 – SENIOR NOTES PAYABLE The following table summarizes our senior notes payable.

Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of these senior notes at any time prior to January 1, 2030, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100 % of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to a designated U.S. Treasury rate, plus 50 basis points; and on or after January 1, 2030, at 100 % of the principal amount of the notes redeemed; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. In July 2016, we sold $ 300 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95 % senior notes due July 2046 in a registered underwritten public offering. In May 2017, we reopened the offering and sold, in a registered underwritten public offering, an additional $ 500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95 % senior notes due July 2046. These additional senior notes were consolidated, formed into a single series, and are fully fungible with the $ 300 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95 % senior notes issued in July 2016. Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of these senior notes at any time prior to their maturity, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100 % of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to a designated U.S. Treasury rate, plus 45 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. In April 2021, we sold $ 750 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75 % senior notes due April 2051 in a registered underwritten public offering. Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of these senior notes at any time prior to October 1, 2050, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100 % of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to a designated U.S. Treasury rate, plus 20 basis points; and on or after October 1, 2050, at 100 % of the principal amount of the notes redeemed; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. 146 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.

Such tax credits and the related amortization are included in “Other, net” in the preceding table. (2) Excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation were primarily attributable to the increase in fair value of our RSUs between grant date and delivery date which was $ 91 million, $ 95 million, and $ 101 million for the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. (3) The year ended September 30, 2024, reflected the favorable impact of a legal and regulatory matters reserve release while the year ended September 30, 2023, reflected the impact of provisions for legal and regulatory matters. We hold equity investments in certain structures which deliver tax benefits that qualify for the application of the proportional amortization method, whereby such investment is amortized in proportion to the allocation of tax benefits received in each year, and the investment amortization and the tax benefits are presented on a net basis within “ Provision for income taxes ” on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. See Note 2 for additional information. For the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the amortization of renewable energy tax credit investments accounted for under the proportional amortization method was $ 28 million and $ 86 million, respectively, and we recognized offsetting tax credits of $ 28 million and $ 81 million, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2023, we also recognized other tax benefits related to such investments of $ 9 million. For both the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the amortization of LIHTC investments accounted for under the proportional amortization method was $ 3 million, and we recognized offsetting tax credits of $ 3 million. Such amounts are reflected in “Other, net” in the preceding table. There was no such investment amortization for the year ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2024, we had $ 63 million of remaining commitments related to a renewable energy tax credit investment accounted for under the proportional amortization method, which was accrued within “Other payables” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and is expected to be funded in our fiscal 2025 upon the project satisfying certain conditions. The unamortized equity investment related to this investment was $ 61 million and was included in “ Other assets ” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2024. 148 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Deferred income taxes are provided for the effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements. These temporary differences result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. The cumulative effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax asset/(liability) items are detailed in the following table. September 30, $ in millions 2024 2023 Deferred tax assets: Deferred compensation $ 433 $ 338 Unrealized loss associated with available-for-sale securities 161 310 Allowances for credit losses 140 140 Lease liabilities 123 135 Accrued expenses 46 56 Unrealized loss associated with loan portfolios 32 46 Net operating losses and credit carryforwards 26 19 Other 19 21 Total deferred tax assets 980 1,065 Less: valuation allowance ( 9 ) ( 5 ) Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 971 1,060 Deferred tax liabilities: Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets ( 138 ) ( 131 ) ROU lease assets ( 134 ) ( 141 ) Property and equipment ( 44 ) ( 68 ) Unrealized gain associated with cash flow hedges ( 4 ) ( 16 ) Other ( 4 ) ( 1 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 324 ) ( 357 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 647 $ 703 Classified as follows in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition: Deferred income taxes, net $ 651 $ 711 Other payables ( 4 ) ( 8 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 647 $ 703 We have various tax loss carryforwards that may provide future tax benefits. Related valuation allowances are established in accordance with accounting guidance for income taxes if it is management’s opinion that it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized. The following table presents deferred tax assets and valuation allowances relating to carryforwards for the periods indicated. Year ended September 30, $ in millions 2024 2023 Expires beginning of fiscal year Deferred tax asset: U.S. Federal net operating losses (1) $ 8 $ 8 Indefinitely U.S. State net operating losses (1) 5 4 2027 Foreign net operating losses 13 7 2041 Total deferred tax asset related to carryforwards $ 26 $ 19 Valuation allowance: U.S. Federal net operating losses $ 2 $ 1 U.S. State net operating losses 5 4 Foreign net operating losses 2 — Net valuation allowance $ 9 $ 5 (1) Both the federal and state net operating loss carryfowards relate to separate company entity filings. As a result, these losses are not able to be utilized in our consolidated filings. As of September 30, 2024, total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance, aggregated to $ 971 million. We continue to believe that the realization of our deferred tax assets is more likely than not based on expectations of future taxable income. 149 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index The $ 4 million and $ 8 million of net deferred tax liabilities included in “Other payables” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily arose from entities in the U.K., and accordingly were not netted against balances arising from our U.S. entities. As of September 30, 2024, we considered substantially all undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested and have not provided for any U.S. deferred income taxes related to such subsidiaries as we expect our incremental tax cost of repatriating such offshore earnings to not be significant. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $ 578 million of cumulative undistributed earnings attributable to foreign subsidiaries. Because the time and manner of repatriation is uncertain, we cannot determine the impact of local taxes, withholding taxes, and foreign tax credits associated with the future repatriation of such earnings, and therefore cannot quantify the tax liability that would be payable in the event all such foreign earnings are repatriated. As of September 30, 2024, the current tax receivable, which was included in “Other receivables, net” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, was $ 28 million, and there was no current tax payable. As of September 30, 2023, the current tax receivable was $ 9 million, and the current tax payable was $ 17 million. Uncertain tax positions We recognize the accrual of interest and penalties related to income tax matters in “Interest expense” and “Other” expense, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, accrued interest and penalties were $ 14 million and $ 12 million, respectively. The following table presents the aggregate changes in the balances for uncertain tax positions. Year ended September 30, $ in millions 2024 2023 2022 Uncertain tax positions beginning of year $ 41 $ 43 $ 36 Increases for tax positions related to the current year 6 5 5 Increases for tax positions related to prior years 9 4 10 Decreases for tax positions related to prior years ( 2 ) ( 2 ) ( 1 ) Decreases due to lapsed statute of limitations ( 6 ) ( 8 ) ( 7 ) Decreases related to settlements — ( 1 ) — Uncertain tax positions end of year $ 48 $ 41 $ 43 The total amount of uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate (the items included in the preceding table after considering the federal tax benefit associated with any state tax provisions) was $ 41 million, $ 35 million, and $ 38 million at September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We anticipate that the uncertain tax position liability balance will decrease by approximately $ 22 million over the next 12 months due to expiration of statutes of limitations of federal and state tax returns. RJF and its domestic subsidiaries are included in the consolidated income tax returns of RJF in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various consolidated states. Our subsidiaries also file separate income tax returns in various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal or foreign income tax examination by tax authorities for fiscal years prior to fiscal 2021, and fiscal years prior to fiscal 2020 for state and local jurisdictions. Certain state and local and foreign tax returns are currently under various stages of audit and appeals processes. 150 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index NOTE 19 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES Commitments and contingencies Underwriting commitments In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments for debt and equity underwritings. As of September 30, 2024, we had three such open underwriting commitments, which were subsequently settled in open market transactions and did not result in any losses. Lending commitments and other credit-related financial instruments We have 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 extend over varying periods of time. These arrangements are subject to strict underwriting assessments and each client’s credit worthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Fixed-rate commitments are subject to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and our exposure is limited to the replacement value of those commitments. The following table presents our commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments outstanding at our Bank segment. September 30, $ in millions 2024 2023 SBL and other consumer lines of credit $ 44,057 $ 38,791 Commercial lines of credit $ 4,630 $ 4,131 Unfunded lending commitments $ 640 $ 936 Standby letters of credit $ 111 $ 123 SBL and other consumer lines of credit primarily represent the unfunded amounts of bank loans to consumers that are primarily secured by marketable securities or other liquid collateral at advance rates consistent with industry standards. The proceeds from repayment or, if necessary, the liquidation of collateral, which is monitored daily, are expected to satisfy the amounts drawn against these existing lines of credit. These lines of credit are primarily uncommitted, as we reserve the right to not make any advances or may terminate these lines at any time. Because many of our lending commitments expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contractual amounts are not estimates of our actual future credit exposure or future liquidity requirements. The allowance for credit losses calculated under the CECL model provides for potential losses related to the unfunded lending commitments. See Notes 2 and 8 for additional information regarding this allowance for credit losses related to unfunded lending commitments. RJ&A enters into margin lending arrangements which allow clients to borrow against the value of qualifying securities. Such loans are extended on a demand basis and are generally not committed facilities. Margin loans are collateralized by the securities held in the client’s account at RJ&A. Collateral levels and established credit terms are monitored daily and we require clients to deposit additional collateral or reduce balances as necessary. We offer loans to prospective financial advisors for recruiting and retention purposes (see Notes 2 and 9 for additional information regarding our loans to financial advisors). These offers are contingent upon certain events occurring, including the individuals joining us or continuing their affiliation with us and meeting certain other conditions outlined in their offer. We had unfunded commitments of $ 19 million for loans to financial advisors who had met such conditions as of September 30, 2024. Investment commitments We had unfunded commitments to various investments, primarily held by Raymond James Bank and TriState Capital Bank, of $ 76 million as of September 30, 2024. Other commitments RJAHI sells investments in project partnerships to various LIHTC funds, which have third-party investors, and for which RJAHI serves as the managing member or general partner. RJAHI typically sells investments in project partnerships to LIHTC 151 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index funds within 90 days of their acquisition. Until such investments are sold to LIHTC funds, RJAHI is responsible for funding investment commitments to such partnerships. As of September 30, 2024, RJAHI had committed approximately $ 46 million to project partnerships that had not yet been sold to LIHTC funds. Because we expect to sell these project partnerships to LIHTC funds and the equity funding events arise over future periods, the contractual commitments are not expected to materially impact our future liquidity requirements. RJAHI may also make short-term loans or advances to project partnerships and LIHTC funds. For information regarding our lease commitments, including the maturities of our lease liabilities, see Note 14. Guarantees 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 up to $ 500 thousand per client for securities and cash held in client accounts, including a limitation of $ 250 thousand on claims for cash balances. We have purchased excess SIPC coverage through various syndicates of Lloyd’s of London. For RJ&A, our clearing broker-dealer, the additional protection currently provided has an aggregate 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 its obligations to clients. This coverage does not protect against market fluctuations. RJF has provided an indemnity to Lloyd’s of London against any and all losses they may incur associated with the excess SIPC policies. Legal and regulatory matters contingencies 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. RJF and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to regular reviews and inspections by regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations (“SROs”). Reviews can result in the imposition of sanctions for regulatory violations, ranging from non-monetary censures to fines and, in serious cases, temporary or permanent suspension from conducting business, or limitations on certain business activities. In addition, regulatory agencies and SROs institute investigations from time to time into industry practices, among other things, which can also result in the imposition of such sanctions. We may contest liability and/or the amount of damages, as appropriate, in each pending matter. The level of litigation and investigatory activity (both formal and informal) by government and self-regulatory agencies in the financial services industry continues to be significant. 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. For many legal and regulatory matters, we are unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss as 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). Subject to the foregoing, after consultation with counsel, we believe 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 regulatory 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. There are certain matters for which we are unable to estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible loss. With respect to legal and regulatory matters for which management has been able to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss as of September 30, 2024, we estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible aggregate loss to be approximately $ 40 million in excess of the aggregate accruals for such matters. See Note 2 for additional information regarding our criteria for recognizing liabilities for contingencies. 152 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index NOTE 20 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Preferred stock As a component of our total purchase consideration for TriState Capital on June 1, 2022, we issued two series of preferred stock to replace previously issued and outstanding preferred stock of TriState Capital. See Note 3 for additional information about the acquisition. The preferred stock issuance included 1.61 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of Series A Preferred Stock, par value of $ 0.10 per share, with a liquidation preference of $ 1,000 per share (equivalent of $ 25 per depositary share) and 3.22 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of Series B Preferred Stock, par value of $ 0.10 per share, with a liquidation preference of $ 1,000 per share (equivalent of $ 25 per depositary share). We redeemed all outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock on April 3, 2023. Dividends on Series B Preferred Stock are non-cumulative and, if declared, payable quarterly at a rate of 6.375 % per annum from original issue date up to, but excluding, July 1, 2026, and thereafter at a floating rate equal to 3-month CME Term SOFR plus a spread adjustment of 4.35 % per annum. Under certain circumstances, the aforementioned fixed rate may apply in lieu of the floating rate. Subject to requisite regulatory approvals, we may redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at the liquidation preference plus declared and unpaid dividends. The following table details the shares outstanding, carrying value, and aggregate liquidation preference of our preferred stock. $ in millions September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Series B Preferred Stock: Shares outstanding 80,500 80,500 Carrying value $ 79 $ 79 Aggregate liquidation preference $ 81 $ 81 The following table details dividends declared and dividends paid on our Series A and Series B preferred stock for the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Preferred stock dividends on our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the year ended September 30, 2023 included dividends declared during the year, as well as the $ 1 million excess of the carrying value of our Series A Preferred Stock over the redemption value, which was reported as an offset to preferred dividends and increased net income available to common shareholders. 153 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.

See Note 3 for additional information on the TriState Capital acquisition and Note 23 for additional information on the RSAs and common stock issuances made under our share-based compensation programs. We issue shares from time to time during the year to satisfy obligations under certain of our share-based compensation programs, some of which may be reissued out of treasury shares. See Note 23 for additional information on these programs. Share repurchases We repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time for a number of reasons, including to offset dilution, which could arise from share issuances resulting from share-based compensation programs or acquisitions. In November 2023, our Board of Directors authorized common stock repurchases of up to $ 1.5 billion, which replaced the previous authorization. Our share repurchases are effected primarily through regular open-market purchases, typically under a SEC Rule 10b-18 plan, the amounts and timing of which are determined primarily by our current and projected capital position, applicable legal and regulatory constraints, general market conditions and the price and trading volumes of our common stock. During the year ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 7.7 million shares of our common stock for $ 900 million at an average price of $ 116.96 per share under the Board of Directors’ common stock repurchase authorization. As of September 30, 2024, $ 644 million remained available under the Board of Directors’ common stock repurchase authorization. Common stock dividends Dividends per common share declared and paid are detailed in the following table for each respective period. Year ended September 30, 2024 2023 2022 Dividends per common share - declared $ 1.80 $ 1.68 $ 1.36 Dividends per common share - paid $ 1.77 $ 1.60 $ 1.28 Our dividend payout ratio is detailed in the following table for each respective period and is computed by dividing dividends declared per common share by earnings per diluted common share. Year ended September 30, 2024 2023 2022 Dividend payout ratio 18.6 % 21.1 % 19.5 % We expect to continue paying cash dividends; however, the payment and rate of dividends on our common stock are subject to several factors including our operating results, financial and regulatory requirements or restrictions, and the availability of funds from our subsidiaries, including our broker-dealer and bank subsidiaries, which may also be subject to restrictions under regulatory capital rules. The availability of funds from subsidiaries may also be subject to restrictions contained in loan covenants of certain broker-dealer loan agreements and restrictions by bank regulators on dividends to the parent from our bank subsidiaries. See Note 24 for additional information on our regulatory capital requirements. 154 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTE 23 - SHARE-BASED AND OTHER COMPENSATION Share-based compensation plan We have one share-based compensation plan, the Raymond James Financial, Inc. Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), for our employees, Board of Directors, and independent contractor financial advisors. The Plan authorizes us to grant 96.4 million shares (including the shares available for grant under six predecessor plans). As of September 30, 2024, 16.3 million shares remained available for grant under the Plan. We may utilize treasury shares for grants under the Plan, though we are also permitted to issue new shares. Our share-based compensation accounting policies are described in Note 2. Restricted stock units We may grant RSU awards under the Plan in connection with initial employment or under various retention programs for individuals who are responsible for contributing to our management, growth, and/or profitability. We may also grant RSU awards in lieu of cash for a portion of the annual bonus awarded to officers and certain other employees who receive an annual bonus in excess of $ 275,000 . Under the Plan, RSU awards are generally restricted for a three - to five-year period, during which time the awards are generally forfeitable in the event of termination other than for death, disability, or qualifying retirement. We grant RSUs annually to non-employee members of our Board of Directors. The RSUs granted to these Directors vest over a one-year period from their grant date or upon retirement from our Board. 159 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index The following table presents the RSU award activity, which includes grants to employees, independent contractor financial advisors, and members of our Board of Directors, for the year ended September 30, 2024.

For the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022, total share-based compensation amortization related to these RSAs was $ 6 million, $ 9 million, and $ 4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there were $ 5 million of total pre-tax compensation costs not yet recognized for these RSAs. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years . See Note 3 for additional information regarding our acquisition of TriState Capital. Employee stock purchase plan Under the 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, we are authorized to issue up to 13.1 million shares of common stock to eligible employees. Under the terms of the plan, share purchases in any calendar year are limited to the lesser of 1,000 shares or shares with a fair value of $ 25,000 . The purchase price of the stock is 85 % of the average high and low market price on the day prior to the purchase date. Under the plan, we sold approximately 361 thousand, 428 thousand and 416 thousand shares to employees during the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The related compensation expense is calculated as the value of the 15 % discount from market value and was $ 6 million, $ 7 million, and $ 6 million for the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock options We had stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2024 which had been issued to our employees and independent contractor financial advisors. Effective in fiscal 2017, we stopped issuing stock options to our employees, and effective in fiscal 2021, we stopped issuing stock options to our independent contractor financial advisors. Share-based compensation expense related to stock options was insignificant for the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022. Cash received from stock options exercised by our employees and independent contractor financial advisors during the year ended September 30, 2024 was $ 5 million. Employee other compensation Our profit-sharing plan and employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) are qualified plans that provide certain death, disability, or retirement benefits for our U.S.-based employees who meet certain service requirements. The plans are noncontributory and 160 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index our contributions, if any, are determined annually by our Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, on a discretionary basis and are recognized as compensation expense throughout the year. Benefits become fully vested after five years of qualified service, age 65, or if a participant separates from service due to death or disability. All shares owned by the ESOP are included in earnings per share calculations. Cash dividends paid to the ESOP are reflected as a reduction of retained earnings. The number of shares of our common stock held by the ESOP was 6.5 million and 6.6 million at September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The market value of our common stock held by the ESOP at September 30, 2024 was $ 794 million, of which $ 8 million was unearned (not yet vested) by ESOP plan participants. We also offer a plan pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which is a qualified plan that may provide for a discretionary contribution or a matching contribution each year. Matching contributions are 75 % of the first $ 1,000 and 25 % of the next $ 1,000 of eligible compensation deferred by each participant annually. Our LTIP is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that provides benefits to certain employees who meet certain compensation or production requirements. Company-owned life insurance is the primary source of funding for this plan. See Note 12 for information regarding the carrying value of these company-owned life insurance policies. Contributions to the qualified plans and the LTIP are approved annually by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof. The VDCP is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain employees, in which eligible participants may elect to defer a percentage or specific dollar amount of their compensation. Company-owned life insurance is the primary source of funding for this plan. Compensation expense associated with all other employee compensation plans, including those previously described, totaled $ 254 million, $ 223 million and $ 195 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Non-employee deferred payment plans We offer non-qualified deferred payment plans that provide benefits to our independent contractor financial advisors who meet certain production requirements. Company-owned life insurance is the primary source of funding for these plans. The contributions are made in amounts approved annually by management. Certain independent contractor financial advisors are also eligible to participate in our VDCP. Eligible participants may elect to defer a percentage or specific dollar amount of their commissions into the VDCP. Company-owned life insurance is the primary source of funding for this plan. 161 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index NOTE 24 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS RJF, as a bank holding company and financial holding company, as well as Raymond James Bank, TriState Capital Bank, our broker-dealer subsidiaries, and our trust subsidiaries are subject to capital requirements by various regulatory authorities. Capital levels of each entity are monitored to ensure compliance with our various regulatory capital requirements. Failure to meet applicable 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. As a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”), that has made an election to be a financial holding company, RJF is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Fed. We are subject to the Fed’s capital rules which establish an integrated regulatory capital framework and implement, in the U.S., the Basel III regulatory capital reforms from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. We apply the standardized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets and are also subject to the market risk provisions of the Fed’s capital rules (“market risk rule”). Under these rules, requirements are established for both the quantity and quality of capital held by banking organizations. RJF, Raymond James Bank, and TriState Capital Bank are required to maintain minimum leverage ratios (defined as tier 1 capital divided by adjusted average assets), as well as minimum ratios of tier 1 capital, common equity tier 1 (“CET1”), and total capital to risk-weighted assets. These capital ratios incorporate quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under the regulatory capital rules and are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. We calculate these ratios in order to assess compliance with both regulatory requirements and internal capital policies. In order to maintain our ability to take certain capital actions, including dividends and common equity repurchases, and to make bonus payments, we must hold a capital conservation buffer above our minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of September 30, 2024, capital levels at RJF, Raymond James Bank, and TriState Capital Bank exceeded the capital conservation buffer requirements and each entity was categorized as “well-capitalized.” To meet the requirements for capital adequacy or to be categorized as “well-capitalized,” RJF must maintain tier 1 leverage, tier 1 capital, CET1, and total capital amounts and ratios as set forth in the following table. Required ratio (1) Well-capitalized September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 $ in millions Ratio Amount Ratio Amount RJF: Tier 1 leverage 4.0 % N/A (2) 12.8 % $ 10,383 11.9 % $ 9,321 Tier 1 capital 8.5 % 6.0 % 22.8 % $ 10,383 21.4 % $ 9,321 CET1 7.0 % N/A (2) 22.6 % $ 10,307 21.2 % $ 9,245 Total capital 10.5 % 10.0 % 24.1 % $ 11,001 22.8 % $ 9,934 (1) Requirements for tier 1 capital, CET1, and total capital included a required capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. (2) The Fed’s regulations do not establish well-capitalized thresholds for these measures for BHCs. As of September 30, 2024, RJF’s regulatory capital increased compared with September 30, 2023 driven by an increase in equity due to positive earnings, partially offset by share repurchases and dividends. RJF’s tier 1 capital and total capital ratios increased compared with September 30, 2023 resulting from the increase in regulatory capital, partially offset by an increase in risk-weighted assets. The increase in risk-weighted assets was primarily driven by increases in other assets, including investments in company-owned life insurance policies, and brokerage client receivables, partially offset by a decline in our available-for-sale securities portfolio. RJF’s tier 1 leverage ratio at September 30, 2024 increased compared to September 30, 2023 due to the increase in regulatory capital, which was partially offset by higher average assets, primarily driven by increases in average bank loans, cash, and other assets, including investments in company-owned life insurance policies, partially offset by a decline in our available-for-sale securities portfolio. 162 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index For RJF to maintain its status as a financial holding company, Raymond James Bank and TriState Capital Bank must, among other things, qualify as “well-capitalized.” To meet the requirements for capital adequacy or to be categorized as “well-capitalized,” Raymond James Bank and TriState Capital Bank must maintain tier 1 leverage, tier 1 capital, CET1, and total capital amounts and ratios as set forth in the following table. Our banks’ failure to remain well-capitalized could result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our financial statements. Required ratio (1) Well-capitalized September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 $ in millions Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Raymond James Bank: Tier 1 leverage 4.0 % 5.0 % 8.1 % $ 3,401 7.8 % $ 3,355 Tier 1 capital 8.5 % 8.0 % 14.4 % $ 3,401 13.7 % $ 3,355 CET1 7.0 % 6.5 % 14.4 % $ 3,401 13.7 % $ 3,355 Total capital 10.5 % 10.0 % 15.7 % $ 3,698 15.0 % $ 3,662 TriState Capital Bank: Tier 1 leverage 4.0 % 5.0 % 7.5 % $ 1,505 7.2 % $ 1,290 Tier 1 capital 8.5 % 8.0 % 16.9 % $ 1,505 14.8 % $ 1,290 CET1 7.0 % 6.5 % 16.9 % $ 1,505 14.8 % $ 1,290 Total capital 10.5 % 10.0 % 17.5 % $ 1,558 15.3 % $ 1,333 (1) Requirements for tier 1 capital, CET1, and total capital included a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. Our bank subsidiaries may pay dividends to RJF out of retained earnings without prior approval of their regulators as long as the dividends do not exceed the sum of their current calendar year and the previous two calendar years’ retained net income and they satisfy applicable regulatory capital requirements. Dividends paid to RJF from our bank subsidiaries may be limited to the extent that capital is needed to support balance sheet growth or as part of our liquidity and capital management activities. Certain of our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), RJ&A is subject to FINRA’s capital requirements, which are substantially the same as Rule 15c3-1. Rule 15c3-1 provides for an “alternative net capital requirement,” which RJ&A has elected. Regulations require that minimum net capital, as defined, be equal to the greater of $1.5 million or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from client balances. FINRA may impose certain restrictions, such as restricting withdrawals of equity capital, if a member firm were to fall below a certain threshold or fail to meet minimum net capital requirements. As of September 30, 2024, RJ&A had excess net capital available to remit dividends to RJF, subject to applicable regulatory requirements, including, in certain cases, regulatory approval. The following table presents the net capital position of RJ&A.

Participating securities and related dividends paid on these participating securities were insignificant for the years ended September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Undistributed earnings are allocated to participating securities based upon their right to share in earnings as if all earnings for the period had been distributed. 164 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index NOTE 26 – SEGMENT INFORMATION We currently operate through the following five segments: PCG; Capital Markets; Asset Management; Bank; and Other. The segments are determined based upon factors such as the services provided and the distribution channels served and are consistent with how we assess performance and determine how to allocate our resources. The financial results of our segments are presented using the same policies as those described in Note 2. Segment results include allocations of most corporate expenses to each segment. Refer to the following discussion of the Other segment for a description of the corporate expenses that are not allocated to segments. Intersegment revenues, expenses, receivables, and payables are eliminated upon consolidation. The PCG segment provides financial planning, investment advisory, and securities transaction services in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. for which we generally charge either asset-based fees or sales commissions. The PCG segment also earns revenues for distribution and related support services performed related to mutual and other funds, fixed and variable annuities, and insurance products. The segment includes servicing fee revenues from third-party mutual fund and annuity companies whose products we distribute and from banks to which we sweep a portion of our clients’ cash deposits as part of the RJBDP, our multi-bank sweep program. The segment also includes net interest earnings primarily on assets segregated for regulatory purposes, margin loans provided to clients, cash balances, and securities borrowing transactions, net of interest paid on client cash balances in the Client Interest Program and securities lending transactions. Our Capital Markets segment conducts investment banking, institutional sales, securities trading, equity research, and the syndication and management of investments in low-income housing funds and funds of a similar nature. We primarily conduct these activities in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Our Asset Management segment earns asset management and related administrative fees for providing asset management, portfolio management, and related administrative services to retail and institutional clients. This segment oversees a portion of our fee-based assets under administration for our PCG clients through our Asset Management Services division. This segment also provides asset management services through Raymond James Investment Management for certain retail accounts managed on behalf of third-party institutions, institutional accounts and proprietary mutual funds that we manage. This segment also earns asset management and related administrative fees through services provided by Raymond James Trust, N.A. and Raymond James Trust Company of New Hampshire. Our Bank segment provides various types of loans, including SBL, corporate loans, residential mortgage loans, and tax-exempt loans. This segment is active in corporate loan syndications and participations and lending directly to clients. This segment also provides FDIC-insured deposit accounts, including to clients of our broker-dealer subsidiaries, and other retail and corporate deposit and liquidity management products and services. This segment generates net interest income principally through the interest income earned on loans and an investment portfolio of available-for-sale securities, which is offset by the interest expense it pays on client deposits and on its borrowings. The Other segment includes interest income on certain corporate cash balances, the results of our private equity investments, which predominantly consist of investments in third-party funds, certain other corporate investing activity, and certain corporate overhead costs of RJF that are not allocated to operating segments including the interest costs on our public debt, certain provisions for legal and regulatory matters, and certain acquisition-related expenses. 165 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC.

The Parent’s primary activities include investments in subsidiaries and corporate investments, including cash management, company-owned life insurance policies and private equity investments. The primary source of operating cash available to the Parent is provided by dividends from its subsidiaries. The broker-dealer subsidiaries of the Parent, including RJ&A our principal domestic broker-dealer, and certain other subsidiaries are required to maintain a minimum amount of net capital due to regulatory requirements. RJ&A is further required by certain covenants in its borrowing agreements to maintain minimum net capital equal to 10 % of aggregate debit balances. At September 30, 2024, each of these subsidiaries exceeded their minimum net capital requirements (see Note 24 for additional information). Of the Parent’s net assets as of September 30, 2024, approximately $ 128 million of its investment in RJ&A, Raymond James Financial Services, Inc., and SumRidge Partners, LLC was available for distribution to the Parent without further regulatory approvals. As of September 30, 2024, approximately $ 3.9 billion of the net assets of our U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries and bank subsidiaries were restricted from distribution to the Parent due to regulatory or other restrictions without prior approval of the respective entity’s regulator. In addition, a large portion of our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ net assets was held to meet regulatory requirements and was not available for use by the Parent. 167 RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Index Cash and cash equivalents of $ 2.16 billion and $ 2.08 billion as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were held directly by RJF in depository accounts at third-party financial institutions, unrestricted cash held in depository accounts at Raymond James Bank, or were loaned by the Parent to RJ&A, which RJ&A had invested on behalf of RJF, or otherwise deployed in its normal business activities. The loan to RJ&A, which totaled $ 1.43 billion and $ 1.39 billion as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is included in “Intercompany receivables from subsidiaries” in the following table. RJF maintained depository accounts at Raymond James Bank and TriState Capital Bank totaling $ 298 million and $ 294 million as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The portion of this total that was available on demand without restrictions, which amounted to $ 253 million and $ 240 million as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, is included in “Cash and cash equivalents” in the following table. See Notes 16, 17, 19 and 24 for additional information regarding borrowings, commitments, contingencies and guarantees, and regulatory capital requirements of the Parent and its subsidiaries.
