Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HTH) ("Hilltop") today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2024. Hilltop produced income to common stockholders of $20.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $18.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023. Hilltop's financial results for the second quarter of 2024 included a decline in net interest income and a build in the allowance for credit losses due to an increase in the provision for credit losses within the banking segment, a decrease in net revenues within all of the broker-dealer segment's business lines except public finance services, and a decline in noninterest expense within the mortgage origination segment.

Hilltop also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per common share payable on August 30, 2024, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 16, 2024. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2024, Hilltop paid $9.9 million to repurchase an aggregate of 320,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $30.98 per share pursuant to the 2024 stock repurchase program. As a result of share repurchases during 2024, Hilltop has approximately $55 million of available share repurchase capacity through the expiration of the 2024 stock repurchase program in January 2025.

The impacts of economic headwinds that began in 2022, and have continued into 2024, 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, and international armed conflicts and their impact on supply chains.

Jeremy B. Ford, President and CEO of Hilltop, said, "Despite the continuation of a challenging environment for our operating businesses, Hilltop generated $29.6 million of pre-tax income as all three business segments delivered profitable pre-tax results during the second quarter of 2024. The onerous interest rate environment presented by an elevated federal-funds rate and inverted yield curve continued to negatively impact a number of business units throughout Hilltop. In spite of this, we have been focused on controlling funding and operating costs that have resulted in a modest expansion in net interest margin and pre-provision net revenue compared to the first quarter of 2024. As we enter the second half of 2024, we will work hard at prudently managing costs and positioning our balance sheet for long-term success."

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights for Hilltop:

The provision for credit losses was $10.9 million during the second quarter of 2024, compared to a reversal of credit losses of $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 and a provision for credit losses of $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2023;
- The provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2024 reflected a build in the allowance related to specific reserves and loan portfolio changes within the banking segment since the prior quarter, slightly offset by an improved U.S. economic outlook.
For the second quarter of 2024, net gains from sale of loans and other mortgage production income and mortgage loan origination fees was $92.9 million, compared to $90.0 million in the second quarter of 2023, a 3.2% increase;
- Mortgage loan origination production volume was $2.4 billion during the second quarter of 2024, compared to $2.5 billion in the second quarter of 2023;
- Net gains from mortgage loans sold to third parties increased to 233 basis points during the second quarter of 2024, compared to 221 basis points in the first quarter of 2024.
Hilltop's consolidated annualized return on average assets and return on average stockholders' equity for the second quarter of 2024 were 0.59% and 3.84%, respectively, compared to 0.47% and 3.53%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2023;
Hilltop's book value per common share increased to $32.86 at June 30, 2024, compared to $32.66 at March 31, 2024;
Hilltop's total assets were $15.6 billion and $16.2 billion at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively;
Loans¹, net of allowance for credit losses, were $7.7 billion and $7.6 billion at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively;
Non-accrual loans were $105.7 million, or 1.12% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $64.7 million, or 0.73% of total loans, at March 31, 2024;
- Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2024 increased primarily due to the addition of two commercial and industrial credit relationships within our auto note financing industry subsector, partially offset by the sale of a single non-owner occupied commercial real estate credit relationship within our hotel/motel portfolio industry subsector that was classified in loans held for sale.
Loans held for sale increased by 50.1% from March 31, 2024 to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2024;
Total deposits were $10.4 billion and $10.9 billion at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively;
- Total estimated uninsured deposits were $4.8 billion, or approximately 46% of total deposits, while estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized deposits of $325.4 million, were $4.5 billion, or approximately 43% of total deposits, at June 30, 2024.
Hilltop maintained strong capital levels² with a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio³ of 12.87% and a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 19.45% at June 30, 2024;
Hilltop's consolidated net interest margin⁴increased to 2.90% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 2.85% in the first quarter of 2024;
For the second quarter of 2024, noninterest income was $193.3 million, compared to $190.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, a 1.4% increase;
For second quarter of 2024, noninterest expense was $256.5 million, compared to $267.0 million in the second quarter of 2023, a 3.9% decrease; and
Hilltop's effective tax rate was 22.5% during the second quarter of 2024, compared to 26.4% during the same period in 2023.
- The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was higher than the applicable statutory rate primarily due to the impact of nondeductible expenses, nondeductible compensation expense and other permanent adjustments, partially offset by the discrete impact of restricted stock vesting during the quarter and investments in tax-exempt instruments.

¹	"Loans" reflect loans held for investment excluding broker-dealer margin loans, net of allowance for credit losses, of $348.3 million and $332.6 million at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

³	Based on the end of period Tier 1 capital divided by total average assets during the quarter, excluding goodwill and intangible assets.
⁴	Net interest margin is defined as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.

(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, $0.6 million, $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the periods presented and for the banking seg ment were $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for 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.
