Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HTH) ("Hilltop") today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2023. Hilltop produced income to common stockholders of $18.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $33.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. Hilltop's financial results for the second quarter of 2023 included significant decreases in year-over-year mortgage origination segment net gains from sales of loans and other mortgage production income, an increase in the provision for credit losses from a build in the allowance 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 August 25, 2023, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 11, 2023.

Headwinds that began in 2022, and continued through the first half of 2023, including the impact of tight housing inventories on mortgage volumes, declining deposit balances, rapid increases in market interest rates and a declining 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, the Russian-Ukraine conflict and its impact on supply chains, and disruptions to the economy and the U.S. banking system caused by recent bank failures.

Jeremy B. Ford, President and CEO of Hilltop, said, "Hilltop's operating results during the second quarter of 2023 reflected the challenging environment which included rising funding costs, an inverted yield curve and economic uncertainties. PlainsCapital Bank recognized an increase in its provision expense due to a combination of factors including deterioration in the economic outlook, negative credit migration and loan growth, as well as a decline in its net interest margin. At PrimeLending, we saw a modest rebound in the gain-on-sale margin, though the business continues to face challenges from a lack of housing inventory and affordability across the country. HilltopSecurities benefited from higher interest rates this quarter that drove a pre-tax margin of 16% on a 13% year-over-year increase in net revenues.

"As we enter the second half of 2023, we remain focused on maintaining our strong capital and liquidity positions, controlling expenses, and continuing to serve our valued clients."

______________________________
(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 $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $0.3 million, $0.4 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.
