Hilltop Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Hilltop presents one measure on page ten and eighteen and two measures on page three of this presentation that are not measures of financial performance recognized by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These measures are important to investors interested in changes from period to period in income before taxes, net income and net income per diluted share. For companies, such as Hilltop, business combinations can result in the recording of significant amounts of expenses related to those transactions. You should not view this disclosure as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and this disclosure is not necessarily comparable to that of other companies that use non-GAAP measures. The following table reconciles these Hilltop non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, “segment income before income taxes”, “net income to common shareholders" and “net income per diluted share.” GAAP Income Before Income Taxes Add: Transaction and Integration Costs (pre-tax)1 Non-GAAP Segment Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes 3.7 4.9 8.6 GAAP Net Income to HTH Common Shareholders Add: Transaction and Integration Costs (net of tax)1 Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income 20.7 0.21 12.6 0.13 33.4 0.34 Note: (1) Includes various transaction and integration costs associated with the SWS Merger, which closed January 1, 2015 22 Q4 2015 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income($M)Diluted EPS ($) Q4 2015 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Segment Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes ($M)Broker-Dealer
