Business Results – Q4 2017 • Modest year over year pre-tax decline in Banking largely driven by $5.3 million reduction in purchase accounting impact. Franchise results continue to improve driven by bank non-covered HFI loan growth of 7% and strong NIM of 4.23% (taxable equivalent NIM of 4.24%) Mortgage pre-tax income of $8 million relative to $9 million in Q4 2016 primarily resulted from a 34% decline in refinance volume, partially offset by growth in home purchase volume Broker-Dealer pre-tax income of $19 million resulted from a rebound in the quarter by Public Finance with the year-end tax bill driving up national issuances. Additionally, the Capital Markets and Retail businesses improved significantly compared to prior year Insurance had a combined ratio of 65.1%, which drove pre-tax income of $14 million compared to $13 million in Q4 2016. Fourth quarter earnings are typically the strongest due to a lower seasonal frequency and severity of storms • • • 4 Business Drivers for Q4 2017 Pre-Tax Income vs. Prior Year ($ millions) Q4 2016Q4 2017$65 $13 ($9)($12) Banking MortgageBroker-Dealer InsuranceCorporate/ OtherHilltop Holdings $53 $40 $36 $19 $14 $9 $8 ($0)

Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Hilltop presents measures in this presentation that are not measures of financial performance recognized by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). 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”. These measures are important to investors interested in changes from period to period in net interest margin. For companies, such as Hilltop, business combinations can also result in purchase accounting adjustments (“PAA”). Note: (1) Annualized taxable equivalent adjustments are based on a 35% federal income tax rate. 19 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Pre-PAA Q4 FY Q3 Q4 FY Taxable Equivalent NIM (%) 2016 2016 2017 2017 2017 NIM Add: Taxable Equivalent Adjustment1 Non-GAAP Taxable Equivalent NIM Less: Purchase Accounting Adjustment Non-GAAP Pre-PAA Taxable Equivalent NIM 4.57 0.02 4.65 0.03 4.03 4.23 0.02 0.01 4.31 0.02 4.59 (0.96) 4.68 (0.93) 4.05 4.24 (0.51) (0.60) 4.33 (0.72) 3.63 3.75 3.54 3.64 3.61 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Pre-Q4 FY Q1Q2 Q3 Q4 FY PAA Taxable Equivalent NIM (%) 2016 2016 2017 2017 2017 2017 2017 NIM Add: Taxable Equivalent Adjustment1 Non-GAAP Taxable Equivalent NIM Less: Purchase Accounting Adjustment Non-GAAP Pre-PAA Taxable Equivalent NIM 3.80 0.02 3.74 0.02 3.52 4.04 3.50 3.63 0.02 0.01 0.02 0.02 3.67 0.02 3.82 (0.71) 3.76 (0.67) 3.54 4.05 3.52 3.65 (0.49) (0.82) (0.37) (0.44) 3.69 (0.53) 3.11 3.09 3.05 3.23 3.15 3.21 3.16 •PlainsCapital Bank •Hilltop Consolidated

Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued) Tangible Common Equity (“TCE”), is a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is defined as our total stockholders’ equity, excluding preferred stock, reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets divided by total assets 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 (“TBVPS”), is a non-GAAP financial measure. TBVPS represents the Firm’s tangible common equity at period-end divided by common shares outstanding at period-end. This is a measure used by management, investors and analysts to assess use of equity.

Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued) On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (“Tax Legislation”) was signed into law. The fourth quarter of 2017 and full-year 2017 results reflect the estimated impact of the enactment of the Tax Legislation, which resulted in a $28.4 million decrease in net income. Net income, income applicable to Hilltop common stockholders, diluted earnings per common share, average assets, return on average assets, average equity and return on stockholders’ equity and return on average assets excluding the impact of the Tax Legislation are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these measures help investors and analysts to assess performance and understand the effects of the Tax Legislation on reported results.
