Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH) (“Hilltop”) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2021. Hilltop produced income from continuing operations to common stockholders of $99.1 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $97.7 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020. Hilltop’s financial results from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2021 benefited from the significant improvement in the macroeconomic outlook and resulting impact on loan expected loss rates within the banking segment. However, Hilltop also realized a decrease in year-over-year mortgage origination segment net gains from sales of loans and other mortgage production income.

Including income from discontinued operations related to the former insurance business, income applicable to common stockholders was $99.1 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $128.5 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020.

Hilltop also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per common share, payable on August 31, 2021, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 13, 2021. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2021, Hilltop paid $44.5 million to repurchase an aggregate of 1,240,843 shares of its common stock at an average price of $35.85 per share pursuant to the 2021 stock repurchase program. These shares were returned to the pool of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

Furthermore, in July 2021, the Hilltop Board of Directors authorized, subject to regulatory review, an increase to the aggregate amount of common stock that Hilltop may repurchase under the aforementioned stock repurchase program to $150.0 million, an increase of $75.0 million. As a result of share repurchases during 2021, Hilltop has approximately $100 million of available share repurchase capacity through expiration of the stock repurchase program in January 2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted financial markets and overall economic conditions, and is expected to continue to have implications on our business and operations. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our operational and financial performance for the remainder of 2021 is currently uncertain and will depend on certain developments outside of our control, including, among others, the ongoing distribution and effectiveness of vaccines, government stimulus, the ultimate impact of the pandemic on our customers and clients, and additional, or extended, federal, state and local government orders and regulations that might be imposed in response to the pandemic.

Jeremy B. Ford, President and CEO of Hilltop, said, “I am very pleased with the results from the second quarter and first half of 2021. Hilltop’s performance this year highlights the versatility of our franchise and the value of our diversified operating model. During the second quarter, credit trends at the bank continued to improve and we believe we are well situated for growth with robust liquidity and capital levels. The mortgage team has proven nimble across the country as the market has evolved over the past year and a half, and we also believe we are well positioned to grow our purchase-focused customer base. Although HilltopSecurities realized mixed results primarily due to market volatility, the broker-dealer remains healthy with a diverse revenue base. In addition to our strong operating performance, Hilltop distributed approximately $10 million of dividends and repurchased approximately $45 million of shares in the open market.”

Second Quarter 2021 Highlights for Hilltop:

The reversal of credit losses was $28.7 million during the second quarter of 2021, compared to a reversal of credit losses of $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2021;
- The significant reversal of credit losses during the second quarter of 2021 primarily reflected improvements in the macroeconomic forecast assumptions and positive risk rating grade migration, including a high concentration of credits within the restaurant and commercial real estate industry sectors;
For the second quarter of 2021, net gains from sale of loans and other mortgage production income and mortgage loan origination fees within our mortgage origination segment was $241.8 million, compared to $340.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, a 29.0% decrease;
- Mortgage loan origination production volume was $5.9 billion during the second quarter of 2021, compared to $6.1 billion in the second quarter of 2020;
- Net gains from mortgage loans sold to third parties declined to 376 basis points during the second quarter of 2021, compared to 398 basis points in the first quarter of 2021.
Hilltop’s consolidated annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the second quarter of 2021 were 2.29% and 16.42%, respectively, compared to 3.30% and 23.32%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2020;
Hilltop’s book value per common share increased to $30.44 at June 30, 2021, compared to $29.41 at March 31, 2021;
Hilltop’s total assets were $17.7 billion at both June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021;
Loans¹, net of allowance for credit losses, decreased to $6.9 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to $7.1 billion at March 31, 2021;
- Includes supporting our impacted banking clients through funding of over 4,100 loans through both rounds of the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, with a remaining balance of approximately $261 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $492 million as of March 31, 2021;
- Through July 16, 2021, the Small Business Administration, or SBA, had approved approximately 2,600 initial round PPP forgiveness applications from the Bank totaling approximately $643 million, with initial round PPP loans of approximately $9 million pending SBA review and approval;
- Submissions to SBA of second round PPP forgiveness applications by the Bank in early stages.
Non-performing loans were $69.0 million, or 0.66% of total loans, at June 30, 2021, compared to $79.9 million, or 0.77% of total loans, at March 31, 2021;
We further supported our impacted banking clients during 2020 through the approval of COVID-19 related loan modifications of approximately $1.0 billion, and continued such support during 2021, resulting in a portfolio of active deferrals that have not reached the end of their deferral period of approximately $76 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $130 million in active deferment as of March 31, 2021;
- While the majority of the portfolio of COVID-19 related loan modifications no longer require deferral, such loans may continue to represent elevated risk; therefore, monitoring of these loans continues;
- The extent of these loans progressing into non-performing loans during future periods is uncertain.
Loans held for sale increased by 13.6% from March 31, 2021 to $2.9 billion at June 30, 2021;

____________________
(1)	Ratios and financial data presented on a consolidated basis. For all 2020 periods presented, information includes discontinued operations and as of June 30, 2020 those assets and liabilities of discontinued operations.
(2)	Net interest margin is defined as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
(3)	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, $0.2 million, $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, for the periods presented and for the banking segment were $0.2 million, $0.2 million, $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, for the periods presented.
(4)	Dividend payout ratio is defined as cash dividends declared per common share divided by basic earnings per common share.
(5)	Net revenue is defined as the sum of total broker-dealer net interest income and total broker-dealer noninterest income.
(6)	Noted balances and ratios during all prior periods reflect certain reclassifications to conform to current period presentation.
(7)	Pre-tax margin is defined as income before income taxes divided by net revenue.
(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.

____________________
(1)	Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis do not include COVID-19 related loan modifications. The Bank’s COVID-19 payment deferral programs allow 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. Since the second quarter of 2020, the Bank’s actions included approval of COVID-19 related loan modifications, resulting in active loan modifications of approximately $76 million as of June 30, 2021, down from approximately $130 million as of March 31, 2021. The extent to which these measures will impact the Bank is uncertain, and any progression of loans, whether receiving COVID-19 payment deferrals or not, into non-accrual status, during future periods is uncertain and will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted.
(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.
