Q1 2019 Q1 2018 • Banking pre-tax income of $41.6 million increased by 7% from prior year due to higher yields in loan HFI portfolio, partially offset by lower accretion ($1.1 million) and lower income from the PrimeLending Warehouse line due to lower average balances. Overall credit quality remained strong and non-performing asset balances continue to decline • Mortgage pre-tax income of $2.9 million driven by a slight decrease in gain-on-sale margins during the period and improved fixed and variable costs. Originations during the first quarter declined 17%, or $513 million, versus prior year period. As a result of 2018 efficiency actions, operating costs declined by $8 million compared to first quarter 2018. This includes an 11% reduction in headcount (9% of which were non-originators). Results include $1.0 million of expenses related to core system improvements • Broker-Dealer pre-tax income increased by $12.8 million to $16.4 million compared to prior year first quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher Structured Finance revenue of $19.5 million, higher taxable trading revenue of $2 million and higher municipal trading revenue of $3 million. These gains were offset by lower Retail revenue and higher incentive compensation tied to revenue growth. Results include $1.0 million of expenses related to core system improvements • Insurance combined ratio for the first quarter 2019 was 86.5% compared to 85.2% during the first quarter 2018. Pre-tax income increased by $2.0 million compared to prior year driven primarily by gains in the investment portfolio |

| 19 Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures • Hilltop Consolidated Hilltop presents measures in this presentation that are not measures of financial performance recognized by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) including taxable equivalent net interest margin and pre-purchase accounting taxable equivalent net interest margin. These measures are important to investors interested in changes from period to period in net interest margin. Taxable equivalent net interest margin is defined as taxable equivalent net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. For companies, such as Hilltop, business combinations can result in purchase accounting adjustments (“PAA”). Pre-purchase accounting taxable equivalent net interest income is defined as taxable equivalent net interest income plus PAA divided by average interest earning assets. You should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and these disclosures are not necessarily comparable to that of other companies that use non-GAAP measures. The following tables reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, “net interest margin”.

Tangible common equity is defined as our total stockholders’ equity, excluding preferred stock, reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. This is a measure used by management, investors and analysts to assess use of equity. Tangible book value per share, or TBVPS, is a non-GAAP financial measure.
