Hilltop Holdings Inc. Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter 2023

DALLAS — (BUSINESS WIRE) October 19, 2023 — Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH) (“Hilltop”) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2023. Hilltop produced income to common stockholders of $37.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $32.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. Hilltop’s financial results for the third quarter of 2023 included decreases in year-over-year mortgage origination segment net gains from sales of loans and other mortgage production income, a decline in the net interest income within the banking segment, and increases in net revenues within certain of the broker-dealer segment’s business lines.

Hilltop also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per common share, payable on November 28, 2023, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 13, 2023.

Headwinds that began in 2022, and continued through the first nine months of 2023, including the impact of tight housing inventories on mortgage volumes, declining deposit balances, rapid increases in market interest rates and a volatile economic forecast have had, and are expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our operating results during the remainder of 2023. The impacts of such headwinds during the remainder of 2023 remain uncertain and will depend on developments outside of our control, including, among others, the 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, international armed conflicts and their impact on supply chains, and disruptions to the economy and the U.S. banking system caused by high-profile bank failures during early 2023.

Jeremy B. Ford, President and CEO of Hilltop, said “Hilltop’s operating results for the third quarter reflect a general continuation in market pressures experienced in the first half of the year. While PlainsCapital Bank produced strong financial results for the quarter with a 1.20% return on average assets, the competitive environment around deposits resulted in further pressure on the bank’s net interest margin. HilltopSecurities generated robust financial results as the wealth management and structured finance businesses produced strong net revenues, which more than offset challenging market conditions for the public finance and fixed income capital markets businesses. PrimeLending’s results continued to be impacted by the housing market’s lack of inventory, consumer affordability challenges and a stubbornly compressed gain-on-sale margin.

“As we progress into the final quarter of the year, we will continue to prudently manage our balance sheet, closely monitor our expenses and serve our valued clients.”

The reversal of credit losses was $40 thousand during the third quarter of 2023, compared to a provision for credit losses of $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2023 and a reversal of credit losses of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2022;

(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 $0.6 million, $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 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)	Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02 which eliminated the recognition and measurement guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors. Therefore, we no longer present troubled debt restructurings as a component of non-performing loans and assets.

(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.
