Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HTH) ("Hilltop") today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2025. Hilltop produced income to common stockholders of $45.8 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $29.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024. Hilltop's financial results for the third quarter, compared with the same period in 2024, primarily included increases in the reversal of credit losses and net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense within the banking segment, net revenues and noninterest expenses increased within the broker-dealer segment, and the mortgage origination segment had declines in noninterest income, noninterest expense and net interest expense.

Hilltop also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per common share payable on November 21, 2025, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 7, 2025. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2025, Hilltop paid $55.1 million to repurchase an aggregate of 1,701,274 shares of its common stock at an average price of $32.36 per share pursuant to the 2025 stock repurchase program. These shares were returned to the pool of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

Furthermore, in October 2025, the Hilltop Board of Directors authorized an increase to the aggregate amount of common stock that Hilltop may repurchase under the aforementioned stock repurchase program to $185.0 million, an increase of $50.0 million. As a result of share repurchases during 2025, Hilltop has approximately $62 million of available share repurchase capacity through the expiration of the 2025 stock repurchase program in January 2026.

The extent of the impact of uncertain economic conditions on our financial performance during the remainder of 2025 will depend in part 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, changes in funding costs, inflationary pressures, changes in the political environment, the impact of tariffs and reciprocal tariffs, and international armed conflicts and their impact on supply chains.

Jeremy B. Ford, Chairman, President and CEO of Hilltop, said, "Hilltop delivered a 1.2% return on average assets during the third quarter on net income of $46 million. Within PlainsCapital Bank, strong core loan and deposit growth on a linked-quarter basis, along with healthy net interest margin expansion, generated $55 million in pre-tax income during the third quarter. A dampened summer home-buying market weighed down PrimeLending's operating results as the company produced a pre-tax loss of $7 million on flat year-over-year origination volumes and depressed origination fees. We continue to actively manage down fixed expenses within our mortgage origination business. Additionally, robust results within all business lines at HilltopSecurities resulted in a pre-tax margin of 18% on net revenues of $144 million.

"Further, Hilltop Holdings returned $66 million to stockholders via $11 million in quarterly dividends and $55 million in repurchases of Hilltop shares. As we close out 2025, we are working diligently to implement and execute strategic plans for 2026 that will continue to prioritize serving our clients and creating long-term stockholder value."

- The reversal of credit losses during the third quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by changes in the U.S. economic outlook associated with collectively evaluated loans and loan portfolio changes, including changes in loan mix and risk rating grade migration, within the banking segment, partially offset by a build in the allowance related to specific reserves, since the prior quarter.

____________________
(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 $1.0 million, $0.8 million, $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the periods presented and for the banking segment were $0.3 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)	Net gains from mortgage loans sold to third parties reflects provisions for anticipated indemnification claims and penalties for early payoff of loans which had the effect of lowering such net gains from mortgage loans sold to third parties by 9, 7, 17, 13 and 7 basis points, respectively, for the periods presented.
(7)	Broker fee income is earned by the mortgage origination segment for facilitating mortgage loan transactions between PrimeLending customers and third-party mortgage lenders when the requested loan products are not offered by PrimeLending.
(8)	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.
