(“Hilltop” or the “Company”) during the course of this presentation include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except as required by law, the Company does not assume any duty to update forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning acquisitions, including our recent acquisition of SWS Group, Inc. (“SWS”) and integration thereof, mortgage loan origination volume, market trends, organic growth, commitment utilization, exposure management in our insurance operations, loan performance, the Company’s other plans, objectives, strategies, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not statements of historical fact, and may be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “probable,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “view,” or “would” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: (i) risks associated with merger and acquisition integration, including the diversion of management time on acquisition-related issues and our ability to promptly and effectively integrate our businesses with those of FNB and SWS and achieve the synergies and value creation contemplated by the acquisitions; (ii) the Company’s ability to estimate loan losses; (iii) changes in the default rate of the Company’s loans; (iv) risks associated with concentration in real estate related loans; (v) the Company’s ability to obtain reimbursements for losses on acquired loans under loss-share agreements with the FDIC; (vi) changes in general economic, market and business conditions in areas or markets where the Company competes; (vii) severe catastrophic events in the Company’s geographic area; (viii) changes in the interest rate environment; (ix) cost and availability of capital; (x) changes in state and federal laws, regulations or policies affecting one or more of Hilltop’s business segments, including changes in regulatory fees, deposit insurance premiums, capital requirements and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (xi) the Company’s ability to use net operating loss carry forwards to reduce future tax payments; (xii) approval of new, or changes in, accounting policies and practices; (xiii) changes in key management; (xiv) competition in the Company’s banking, broker-dealer, mortgage origination, and insurance segments from other banks and financial institutions, as well as insurance companies, mortgage bankers, investment banking and financial advisory firms, asset-based non-bank lenders and government agencies; (xv) failure of the Company’s insurance segment reinsurers to pay obligations under reinsurance contracts; and (xvi) the Company’s ability to use excess cash in an effective manner, including the execution of successful acquisitions. For further discussion of such factors, see the risk factors described in the Hilltop Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Corporate Headquarters Additional Information
