Hilltop Holdings Inc. Announces Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022

DALLAS — (BUSINESS WIRE) January 26, 2023 — Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH) (“Hilltop”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022. Hilltop produced income to common stockholders of $25.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $62.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. Income to common stockholders for the full year 2022 was $113.1 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, compared to $374.5 million, or $4.61 per diluted share, for the full year 2021. Hilltop’s financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022 included significant decreases in year-over-year mortgage origination segment net gains from sales of loans and other mortgage production income, while the banking segment recorded a provision for credit losses as opposed to a reversal of credit losses in respective prior year periods.

Hilltop also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per common share, a 7% increase from the prior quarter, payable on February 24, 2023, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2023. Additionally, the Hilltop Board of Directors authorized, subject to regulatory approvals or non-objections, a new stock repurchase program through January 2024, under which Hilltop may repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $75.0 million of its outstanding common stock. During 2022, Hilltop paid $442.3 million to repurchase approximately 14.87 million shares of its common stock at a price of $29.75 per share pursuant to the tender offer completed in May 2022. These shares were returned to the pool of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

Headwinds during 2022, including the impact of tight housing inventories on mortgage volumes, declining deposit balances, rapid increases in market interest rates and a declining economic forecast, are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on our operating results during 2023. The impacts of such headwinds in 2023 remain uncertain and will depend on developments outside of our control, including, among others, timing and significance of further changes in U.S. treasury yields and mortgage interest rates, exposure to increasing funding costs, inflationary pressures associated with compensation, occupancy and software costs and labor market conditions, the Russian-Ukraine conflict and its impact on supply chains, and the impact of the pandemic.

Jeremy B. Ford, President and CEO of Hilltop, said “Although we experienced a challenging operating environment in 2022, Hilltop still generated consolidated profitability and finished the year a more resilient company. The abrupt market shifts in the mortgage and fixed income businesses had a negative impact across our company, particularly at PrimeLending and HilltopSecurities, while PlainsCapital Bank delivered across all of its key priorities, including prudent loan growth, sound credit quality and efficiency. I am proud of our teams’ accomplishments during the year, as they continued to deliver high-quality products and services for our clients, while also making tough, yet prudent, expense decisions to right-size our franchise.

“Additionally, our focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet with significant capital and liquidity has positioned Hilltop for long-term success regardless of interest rate and economic volatility. Finally, I am very pleased that Hilltop returned a record amount of capital to stockholders during 2022, primarily through our successful tender offer share repurchase completed in May.”

(1)	Net interest margin is defined as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.

(2)

Net interest margin (taxable equivalent), a non-GAAP measure, is defined as taxable equivalent net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Taxable equivalent adjustments are based on the applicable 21% federal income tax rate for all periods presented. The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest margins for all earning assets, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. The taxable equivalent adjustments to interest income for Hilltop (consolidated) were $0.3 million, $0.4 million, $0.5 million, $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the periods presented and for the banking segment were $0.2 million for each of the periods presented.

(3)	Dividend payout ratio is defined as cash dividends declared per common share divided by basic earnings per common share.

(4)	Net revenue is defined as the sum of total broker-dealer net interest income and total broker-dealer noninterest income.

(5)	Pre-tax margin is defined as income before income taxes divided by net revenue.

(6)	Reported on a consolidated basis and therefore does not include mortgage servicing rights assets related to loans serviced for the banking segment, which are eliminated in consolidation.

(1)

Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis do not include COVID-19 related loan modifications through January 1, 2022. The banking segment’s COVID-19 payment deferment programs since the second quarter of 2020 allowed for a deferral of principal and/or interest payments with such deferred principal payments due and payable on the maturity date of the existing loan. For the periods presented, the banking segment’s actions through December 31, 2021 included approval of COVID-19 related loan modifications, resulting in active loan modifications of approximately $4 million as of December 31, 2021.

(2)	Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing were primarily comprised of loans held for sale and guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, including loans that are subject to repurchase, or have been repurchased, by PrimeLending.
