Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HTH) ("Hilltop") today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022. Hilltop produced income to common stockholders of $32.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $92.9 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021. Hilltop's financial results for the third quarter of 2022 reflect a significant decrease in year-over-year mortgage origination segment net gains from sales of loans and other mortgage production income.

Hilltop also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share payable on November 25, 2022, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 11, 2022.

Identified headwinds during 2022, including uncertainties related to inflationary pressures on expenses, the impact of tight housing inventories on mortgage volumes, declining deposit balances, and increases in market interest rates, coupled with a declining economic forecast, rapid increases in U.S. treasury yields and mortgage interest rates, and exposure to increasing funding costs during the first nine months of 2022 have had, and are expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our operating results during the remainder of 2022 and into the first half of 2023.

Jeremy B. Ford, President and CEO of Hilltop, said "Our third quarter financial results were once again driven by a strong performance from PlainsCapital Bank, which continued to prudently grow its core loan portfolio while realizing the benefits of the rising rate environment and resulting expansion of net interest margin. Though deposits declined in the third quarter, the bank still maintains elevated liquidity and ample core deposit funding relative to its loan portfolio. HilltopSecurities experienced improved third quarter results from both a net revenues and pre-tax margin standpoint when compared to each of the trailing three quarters. PrimeLending continues to face material housing market headwinds, including a sharp rise in mortgage interest rates, compression in gain on sale margins and continued affordability concerns for potential home buyers. We remain focused at PrimeLending, and across the Hilltop enterprise, on controlling costs during this dynamic interest rate environment. Importantly, despite the immense and sudden pressure in the mortgage sector, we remained profitable on a consolidated basis and continued to grow capital. We look forward to finishing out 2022 with strong results from our talented team, while positioning Hilltop towards the coming year."

(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 $0.4 million, $0.4 million, $0.5 million, $0.5 million, and $0.6 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 and $17 million as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
(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.
