We present certain measures in our selected financial data that are not measures of financial performance recognized by GAAP. “Tangible book value per common share” is defined as our total stockholders’ equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total common shares outstanding. “Tangible common equity to tangible assets” is defined as our total stockholders’ equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total assets reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. These measures are used by management, investors and analysts to assess the use of equity. For companies such as ours that have engaged in business combinations, purchase accounting can result in the recording of significant amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets related to those transactions. You should not view this disclosure as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and our disclosure is not necessarily comparable to that of other companies that use non-GAAP measures. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, “book value per common share” and “equity to total assets” (dollars in thousands, except per share data).

Our balance sheet, operating results and certain metrics during 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 reflected uncertainty around general economic, market and business conditions that we expect will remain uncertain for the remainder of 2026. The extent of the impacts of uncertain economic conditions on our financial performance during the remainder of 2026 will depend in part on developments outside of our control, including, among others, changes in political environment, the impact of tariffs and reciprocal tariffs, the timing and significance of further changes in U.S. Treasury yields and mortgage interest rates, and a volatile economic forecast. These conditions, coupled with exposure to changes in funding costs, inflationary pressures, and international armed conflicts and their impact on supply chains within our business segments during the first quarter of 2026 have had, and are expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our operating results during the remainder of 2026.

Previous wording

Historically, high-profile banking failures periodically increase market uncertainty and concerns associated with banking sector liquidity positions, increase regulatory scrutiny and underscore the importance of maintaining access to diverse sources of funding. In light of these events, we have continued our efforts to monitor deposit flows and balance sheet trends to ensure that our liquidity needs and financial flexibility are maintained. During 2025, deposit costs remained elevated despite actions we took to reduce the interest paid on our interest-bearing deposits. Our cost of deposits decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, as a result of the rate reductions since September 2025. Additionally, at March 31, 2026, we continued to access core deposits from our Hilltop Securities Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured sweep program, while the Bank was not utilizing any of its Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowing capacity.

Current wording

Continuing macroeconomic challenges related to mortgage loan origination volumes, customer sensitivity to interest rates and resulting demand for certain products, including recent shift in market expectations related to a prolonged elevated interest rate environment, have resulted in a challenging environment associated with the mortgage origination segment’s short- and long-term financial condition, resulting in variability in their operating results.

Previous wording

We generate revenue from net interest income and from noninterest income. Net interest income represents the difference between the income earned on our assets, including our loans and investment securities, and our cost of funds, including the interest paid on the deposits and borrowings that are used to support our assets. Net interest income is a significant contributor to our operating results. Fluctuations in interest rates, as well as the amounts and types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities we hold, affect net interest income. We generated $112.1 million in net interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with net interest income of $105.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in reportable business segment net interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025, primarily reflected improvements within the banking segment and corporate.

The decrease in noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was predominantly attributable, as noted in the segment results table previously presented, primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax gains associated with merchant bank equity investment activity within corporate, partially offset by increased noninterest income within our broker-dealer segment from principal transactions, commissions and fees and within our mortgage origination segment from net gains from sale of loans.

The provision for (reversal of) credit losses is determined by management as the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the amount of expected credit losses inherent within the loans held for investment portfolio. The amount of expense and the corresponding level of allowance for credit losses for loans are based on our evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other significant qualitative and quantitative factors. Substantially all of our consolidated provision for (reversal of) credit losses is related to the banking segment.

Previous wording

Noninterest income decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025, primarily due to the recognition within corporate of a pre-tax gain of $27.8 million associated with the sale of operations by a merchant bank equity investment in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by net increases within the broker-dealer segment’s fixed income services, wealth management and structured finance business lines and an increase in net gains from sale of loans within our mortgage origination segment.

Current wording

Noninterest income increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025, primarily due to net increases within our broker-dealer segment’s structured finance, wealth management and fixed income services business lines, partially offset a decrease within our mortgage origination segment due to multiple Settlement Agreement & Releases (the “Settlements”) whereby PrimeLending received an aggregate of $9.5 million from the respective parties in the second quarter of 2025.

During 2025 and through the first quarter of 2026, we continued to experience increases in certain noninterest expenses, compared with respective prior periods, including compensation, occupancy, and software costs, due to inflationary pressures. We expect such inflationary headwinds to continue during the remainder of 2026.

Previous wording

Effective income tax rates during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 22.6% and 22.7%, respectively. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the effective tax rate 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 investments in tax-exempt instruments.

Current wording

Effective income tax rates during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 24.2% and 23.4%, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 23.4% and 23.1%, respectively.

Previous wording

The increase in income before income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025, was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

Previous wording

As discussed in more detail below, the banking segment's overall deposit costs decreased during the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to lower rates on interest-bearing deposits on certain products and product tiers in conjunction with rate reductions by the Federal Reserve to lower the effective funds rate towards the end of 2025. We are continuing to actively manage our overall deposit costs and will continue to seek opportunities to further lower interest-bearing deposit rates if they present themselves. Future decisions on the costs of deposits will be influenced by various factors, including, but not limited to competitive pressures, broader economic conditions, future changes in the target range for the federal funds rate, customer behavior and our liquidity position at that time.

As discussed in more detail below, the banking segment's overall deposit costs decreased during the first six months of 2026, primarily due to lower rates on interest-bearing deposits on certain products and product tiers in conjunction with rate reductions by the Federal Reserve to lower the effective funds rate towards the end of 2025. Future decisions on the costs of deposits will continue to be influenced by various factors, including, but not limited to competitive pressures, broader economic conditions, future changes in the target range for the federal funds rate, customer behavior and our liquidity position at that time.

The tables below provide additional details regarding our banking segment’s net interest income (dollars in thousands).

Previous wording

The increase in net interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, as noted in the table above, was driven by decreased funding costs on our deposit products from rate decreases. This decrease was partially offset by lower earnings on interest‑earning assets due to reduced balances and lower yields and by increased interest income from loans held for investment reflecting higher loan volumes. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 67 basis points from 3.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 2.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, while the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 5 basis points from 5.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 5.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

and by increased interest income from loans held for investment reflecting higher loan volumes. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 63 basis points from 3.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 2.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, while the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 9 basis points from 5.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to 5.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Previous wording

Our portfolio includes loans that periodically reprice or mature prior to the end of an amortized term. The extent and timing of this impact on interest income will ultimately be driven by the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate and yield curve movements, as well as changes in market conditions and timing of management strategies. At March 31, 2026, approximately $501 million of our floating rate loans held for investment remained at or below their applicable rate floor, exclusive of our mortgage warehouse lending program, of which approximately 18% are not scheduled to reprice for more than one year based upon agreed-upon terms. If interest rates were to continue to fall, the impact on our interest income for certain variable-rate loans would be limited by these rate floors. If interest rates rise, yields on the portion of our loan portfolio that remain at applicable rate floors would rise more slowly than increases in market interest rates, unless such loans are refinanced or repaid. Competition for loan growth could also continue to put pressure on new loan origination rates.

Additionally, within our banking segment, the composition of the deposit base and ultimate cost of funds on deposits and net interest income are affected by the level of market interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by competitors, the volatility of equity markets and other factors. Deposit products and pricing structures relative to the market are regularly evaluated to maintain competitiveness over time. As discussed above, our cost of deposits decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period of 2025. We expect such costs during the remainder of 2026 will continue to be influenced by various factors, including, but not limited to competitive pressures, broader economic conditions, future changes in the target range for the federal funds rate, customer behavior and our liquidity position at that time. The Bank’s deposit base primarily includes a combination of commercial, wealth and public funds deposits, without a high level of industry concentration. At March 31, 2026, total estimated uninsured deposits were $5.9 billion, or approximately 56% of total deposits, while estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized deposits of $640.8 million and internal accounts of $448.2 million, were $4.8 billion, or approximately 46% of total deposits.

Previous wording

The banking segment retained approximately $54.9 million and $62.5 million in mortgage loans originated by the mortgage origination segment during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These loans are purchased by the banking segment at par. For origination services provided, the banking segment reimburses the mortgage origination segment for direct origination costs associated with these mortgage loans, in addition to payment of a correspondent fee. The correspondent fees are eliminated in consolidation. The determination of mortgage loan retention levels by the banking segment will be impacted by, among other things, an ongoing review of the prevailing mortgage rates, balance sheet positioning at Hilltop and the banking segment’s outlook for commercial loan growth.

Previous wording

The banking segment’s provision for (reversal of) credit losses has been subject to significant year-over-year and quarterly changes primarily attributable to the effects of changes in economic outlook, macroeconomic forecast assumptions and the resulting impact on reserves. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the provision for credit losses was primarily driven by a build in the allowance related to specific reserves and net charge-offs, partially offset 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 since the prior quarter. The net impact to the allowance of changes associated with individually evaluated loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026 included a provision for credit losses of $4.0 million, while collectively evaluated loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026 included a reversal of credit losses of $2.3 million. The change in the allowance for credit losses during the noted period also reflected other factors including, but not limited to, loan mix, and changes in loan balances and qualitative factors from the prior quarter. The change in the allowance for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was also impacted by net charge-offs of $4.3 million. Refer to the discussion in the “Financial Condition – Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans” section that follows for more details regarding the significant assumptions and estimates involved in estimating credit losses.

The increase in the fixed income business line’s net revenues was due primarily to improved revenue earned from sales activities in both taxable and municipal capital markets divisions. The increase in the wealth management business line’s net revenue was driven by an increase in asset management fees revenues generated from customer assets under management and earnings on over-the-counter securities transactions. The increase in the structured finance business line’s net revenues was primarily due to an increase in commissions earned on the sale of agricultural insurance products and commodities transactions offset by a decrease in housing revenue period over period.

Previous wording

The mortgage lending business is subject to variables that can impact loan origination volume, including seasonal transaction volumes and interest rate fluctuations. Historically, the mortgage origination segment has experienced increased loan origination volume from home purchases during the spring and summer months to varying degrees, when more people tend to move and buy or sell homes. A decrease in mortgage interest rates tends to result in increased loan origination volume from refinancings, while an increase in mortgage interest rates tends to result in decreased loan origination volume from refinancings. While changes in mortgage interest rates have historically had a lesser impact on home purchases volume than on refinancing volume, an increase in average mortgage rates since 2022 have negatively impacted home purchase volume through the first quarter of 2026. The effect of this trend was compounded by periods of broader economic uncertainty during that time. See details regarding loan origination volume in the table below.
