Announces Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 | HTH Stock News DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH) (“Hilltop”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. Hilltop produced income attributable to common stockholders of $41.6 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $35.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Income attributable to common stockholders for the full year 2025 was $165.6 million, or $2.64 per diluted share, compared to $113.2 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, for the full year 2024. Hilltop also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share, an 11% increase from the prior quarter, payable on February 27, 2026 to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 13, 2026. Additionally, the Hilltop Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program through January 2027, under which Hilltop may repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $125.0 million of its outstanding common stock. During the fourth quarter of 2025, Hilltop paid $60.8 million to repurchase an aggregate of 1,799,995 shares of its common stock at an average price of $33.77 per share. During 2025, Hilltop paid $184.0 million to repurchase an aggregate of 5,705,205 shares of its common stock at an average price of $32.26 per share pursuant to the 2025 stock repurchase program. These repurchased shares were returned to the pool of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The extent of the impact of uncertain economic conditions on our financial performance during 2026 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, “2025 was a strong year for Hilltop from a financial, operational and capital management perspective. Within each line of business, and on a consolidated basis, pre-tax results improved versus the prior year. Further, Hilltop was able to execute successfully on a number of key initiatives across the company, while returning $231 million to stockholders via dividends and share repurchases. “During 2025, PlainsCapital Bank produced healthy core loan and deposit growth while delivering a 1.17% return on average assets. PrimeLending, in the face of a continued challenging home-buying market, reduced pre-tax losses by 48% as the company made further operational efficiency improvements. HilltopSecurities capitalized on a strong year from its Structured Finance, Wealth Management and Public Finance business lines to deliver $501 million in net revenue with a pre-tax margin of 13.5%. As we move into 2026, we remain focused on delivering sound results while prudently managing capital.” Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights for Hilltop: - The provision for credit losses was $7.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a reversal of credit losses of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 and a reversal of credit losses of $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024; - The provision for credit losses during the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by a build in the allowance related to specific reserves and higher net charge-offs, changes in the U.S. economic outlook associated with collectively evaluated loans within the banking segment since the prior quarter. - For the fourth quarter of 2025, net gains from sale of loans and other mortgage production income and mortgage loan origination fees was $76.2 million, compared to $73.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a 3.4% increase; - Mortgage loan origination production volume was $2.4 billion during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $2.3 billion during the fourth quarter of 2024; - Net gains from mortgage loans sold to third parties, including broker fee income, increased to 250 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 239 basis points in the third quarter of 2025. - Hilltop’s consolidated annualized return on average assets and return on average stockholders’ equity for the fourth quarter of 2025 were 1.09% and 7.60%, respectively, compared to 0.92% and 6.50%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2024; - Hilltop’s book value per common share increased to $36.42 at December 31, 2025, compared to $35.69 at September 30, 2025; - Hilltop’s total assets were $15.8 billion and $15.6 billion at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively; - Loans1, net of allowance for credit losses, were $7.9 billion and $7.8 billion at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively; - Non-accrual loans were $53.4 million, or 0.58% of total loans, at December 31, 2025, compared to $68.3 million, or 0.75% of total loans, at September 30, 2025; - Loans held for sale increased by 11.9% from September 30, 2025 to $950.1 million at December 31, 2025; - Total deposits2 were $10.9 billion and $10.7 billion at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively; - Hilltop maintained strong capital levels with a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio3 of 12.78% and a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 19.70% at December 31, 2025; - Hilltop’s consolidated net interest margin4 decreased to 3.02% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 3.06% in the third quarter of 2025; - For the fourth quarter of 2025, noninterest income was $217.4 million, compared to $195.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, an 11.1% increase; - For the fourth quarter of 2025, noninterest expense was $268.9 million, compared to $262.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a 2.3% increase; and - Hilltop’s effective tax rate was 19.2% during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 14.2% during the same period in 2024. - The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was lower than the applicable statutory rate primarily due to the impact of investments in tax-exempt instruments, state refund claims and return to provision activity, partially offset by nondeductible expenses, nondeductible compensation expense and other permanent adjustments. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ 1 “Loans” reflect loans held for investment excluding broker-dealer margin loans, net of allowance for credit losses, of $344.5 million and $325.3 million at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. 2 Total deposits at December 31, 2025 included estimated uninsured deposits of $5.9 billion, or approximately 54% of total deposits, while estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized deposits of $693.9 million and internal accounts of $302.8 million, were $4.9 billion, or approximately 45% of total deposits. 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. **Consolidated Financial and Other Information** **Consolidated Balance Sheets** **December 31,**

(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 $0.8 million, $1.0 million, $0.7 million, $3.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the periods presented and for the banking segment were $0.1 million, $0.3 million, $0.2 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 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 8, 9, 13, 10 and 8 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. **December 31,** **September 30,** **June 30,** **March 31,** **December 31,** **Non-Performing Assets Portfolio Data** **2025** **2025** **2025** **2025** **2024** Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis ($000's): Commercial real estate: Non-owner occupied $ 3,873 $ 3,969 $ 4,107 $ 4,241 $ 7,166 Owner occupied 5,617 7,119 6,429 6,535 6,092 Commercial and industrial 28,581 41,457 40,990 51,987 59,025 Construction and land development 1,010 1,007 3,667 3,256 3,003 1-4 family residential 14,367 14,701 17,550 15,458 12,863 Consumer — — — — — Broker-dealer — — — — — Non-accrual loans ($000's) $ 53,448 $ 68,253 $ 72,743 $ 81,477 $ 88,149 Non-accrual loans as a % of total loans 0.58% 0.75% 0.80% 0.93% 1.00% Other real estate owned ($000's) 8,020 8,289 9,144 7,682 2,848 Other repossessed assets ($000's) — — — — 98 Non-performing assets ($000's) 61,468 76,542 81,887 89,159 91,095 Non-performing assets as a % of total assets 0.39% 0.49% 0.53% 0.56% 0.56% Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing ($000's) (1) 33,811 28,388 28,378 24,145 22,090 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (1) 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. **Three Months Ended December 31,** **2025** **2024** **Average** **Interest** **Annualized** **Average** **Interest** **Annualized** **Outstanding** **Earned** **Yield or** **Outstanding** **Earned** **Yield or** **Net Interest Margin (Taxable Equivalent) Details (1)** **Balance** **or Paid** **Rate** **Balance** **or Paid** **Rate** **Assets** Interest-earning assets Loans held for sale $ 929,989 $ 13,285 5.59 % $ 1,011,036 $ 13,278 5.25 % Loans held for investment, gross (2) 8,246,440 120,261 5.79 % 7,931,572 118,448 5.93 % Investment securities -
