Forbes Ranks Hilltop Holdings Fifth Best Among Top 100 Banks

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH) is ranked No. 5 nationally in the recent Forbes best banks listing of the Top 100 largest publicly-traded banks and thrifts. Hilltop Holdings’ ranking increased over last year, where it was listed at 18th.

The Forbes Top 100 is compiled based on 10 metrics measuring asset quality, capital adequacy, growth and profitability. The ranking is based on performance over the previous 12 months, ending with the September 30, 2015, regulatory filing period.

Forbes noted the banking industry has largely recovered from the financial crisis of 2007-08, but banks continue to deal with the challenges of a low interest rate environment.

Jeremy B. Ford, president and CEO of Hilltop Holdings, attributes the Company’s continued growth to its diverse yet complementary business lines, experienced management teams, solid capital position and stable operating performance.

“The ranking is a testament to the strength and stability of Hilltop Holdings,” said Ford. “Our family of companies – PlainsCapital Bank, Hilltop Securities Inc., PrimeLending and National Lloyds Corporation – provide their customers with the best solutions to meet their financial needs. The continued growth of our companies has enabled us to bring sustained value to our shareholders. While we continue to operate in a challenging banking environment, we remain true to our vision to be a premier financial services holding company.”

Hilltop Holdings, with total assets of $12.4 billion, reported another successful quarter on Sept. 30, 2015, with all operating segments remaining profitable.
