Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HTH) ("Hilltop") today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2024. Hilltop produced income to common stockholders of $29.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $37.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023. Hilltop's financial results for the third quarter of 2024, compared with the same period in 2023, included a decline in net interest income, partially offset by changes in the provision for credit losses within the banking segment, an increase in net revenues in the structured finance and fixed income services business lines, a decline in net revenues in the wealth management business line and higher noninterest expenses within the broker-dealer segment, while the mortgage origination segment had declines in both noninterest income and expense.

Hilltop also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per common share payable on November 22, 2024, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 8, 2024.

The extent of the impacts of uncertain economic conditions on our financial performance for the remainder of 2024 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, and international armed conflicts and their impact on supply chains.

Jeremy B. Ford, President and CEO of Hilltop, said, "Hilltop continues to demonstrate operational strength despite challenging mortgage conditions and the transitioning interest rate environment. During the quarter, PlainsCapital Bank and HilltopSecurities both increased profitability on a sequential basis, while PrimeLending's results were impacted by lower origination volume and a negative mortgage servicing rights asset fair value mark to market adjustment. As we enter the anticipated rate cutting cycle, we are focused on strategically lowering funding costs, managing asset yields and optimizing total earning assets. We will continue to execute on our long-term strategy of serving our customers, compounding stockholder value and prudently stewarding our capital."

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights for Hilltop:

The reversal of credit losses was $1.3 million during the third quarter of 2024, compared to a provision for credit losses of $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 and a reversal of credit losses of $40 thousand in the third quarter of 2023;
- The reversal of credit losses during the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by net charge-offs and loan portfolio changes, including a change in the macroeconomic outlook scenario utilized, associated with collectively evaluated loans, partially offset by a build in the allowance related to specific reserves within the banking segment since the prior quarter.
For the third quarter of 2024, net gains from sale of loans and other mortgage production income and mortgage loan origination fees was $79.9 million, compared to $88.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, a 9.9% decrease;
- Mortgage loan origination production volume was $2.3 billion during the third quarter of 2024, compared to $2.2 billion in the third quarter of 2023;
- Net gains from mortgage loans sold to third parties decreased to 224 basis points during the third quarter of 2024, compared to 233 basis points in the second quarter of 2024.
Hilltop's consolidated annualized return on average assets and return on average stockholders' equity for the third quarter of 2024 were 0.84% and 5.51%, respectively, compared to 0.94% and 7.11%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2023;
Hilltop's book value per common share increased to $33.51 at September 30, 2024, compared to $32.86 at June 30, 2024;
Hilltop's total assets were $15.9 billion and $15.6 billion at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively;
Loans¹, net of allowance for credit losses, were $7.5 billion and $7.7 billion at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively;
Non-accrual loans were $91.2 million, or 1.02% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, compared to $105.7 million, or 1.12% of total loans, at June 30, 2024;
Loans held for sale decreased by 26.2% from June 30, 2024 to $0.9 billion at September 30, 2024;
Total deposits were $10.8 billion and $10.4 billion at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively;
- Total estimated uninsured deposits were $5.3 billion, or approximately 49% of total deposits, while estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized deposits of $312.3 million, were $5.0 billion, or approximately 46% of total deposits, at September 30, 2024.
Hilltop maintained strong capital levels² with a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio³ of 12.95% and a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 20.48% at September 30, 2024;
Hilltop's consolidated net interest margin⁴decreased to 2.84% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 2.90% in the second quarter of 2024;
For the third quarter of 2024, noninterest income was $200.4 million, compared to $196.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, a 1.8% increase;
For third quarter of 2024, noninterest expense was $264.3 million, compared to $260.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, a 1.7% increase; and
Hilltop's effective tax rate was 22.5% during the third quarter of 2024, compared to 25.2% during the same period in 2023.
- The effective tax rate for the third 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 $340.4 million and $348.3 million at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
²		Capital ratios reflect Hilltop's decision to elect the transition option as issued by the federal banking regulatory agencies in March 2020 that permits banking institutions to mitigate the estimated cumulative regulatory capital effects from CECL over a five-year transitionary period through December 31, 2024.
³		Based on the end of period Tier 1 capital divided by total average assets during the quarter, excluding goodwill and intangible 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) was $0.6 million for each of the periods presented and for the banking segment were $0.2 million, $0.1 million, $0.1 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.
