Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies	1. Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies Nature of Operations Hilltop Holdings Inc. (“Hilltop” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a financial holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Company’s primary line of business is to provide business and consumer banking services from offices located throughout Texas through PlainsCapital Bank (the “Bank”). In addition, the Company provides an array of financial products and services through its broker-dealer, mortgage origination and insurance subsidiaries. The Company, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, provides its products and services through three primary business units, PlainsCapital Corporation (“PCC”), Hilltop Securities Holdings LLC (“Securities Holdings”) and National Lloyds Corporation (“NLC”). PCC is a financial holding company that provides, through its subsidiaries, traditional banking, wealth and investment management and treasury management services primarily in Texas and residential mortgage lending throughout the United States. Securities Holdings is a holding company that provides, through its subsidiaries, investment banking and other related financial services, including municipal advisory, sales, trading and underwriting of taxable and tax-exempt fixed income securities, equity trading, clearing, securities lending, structured finance and retail brokerage services throughout the United States. NLC is a property and casualty insurance holding company that provides, through its subsidiaries, fire and homeowners insurance to low value dwellings and manufactured homes primarily in Texas and other areas of the southern United States. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”). Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or any future period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates regarding the allowance for loan losses, the fair values of financial instruments, the amounts receivable from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) under loss-share agreements (the “FDIC Indemnification Asset”), reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”), the mortgage loan indemnification liability, and the potential impairment of assets are particularly subject to change. The Company has applied its critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Hilltop owns 100% of the outstanding stock of PCC. PCC owns 100% of the outstanding stock of the Bank and 100% of the membership interest in PlainsCapital Equity, LLC. The Bank owns 100% of the outstanding stock of PrimeLending, a PlainsCapital Company (“PrimeLending”). PrimeLending owns a 100% membership interest in PrimeLending Ventures Management, LLC (“Ventures Management”), which holds an ownership interest in and is the managing member of certain affiliated business arrangements (“ABAs”). PCC also owns 100% of the outstanding common securities of PCC Statutory Trusts I, II, III and IV (the “Trusts”), which are not included in the consolidated financial statements under the requirements of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), because the primary beneficiaries of the Trusts are not within the consolidated group. Hilltop has a 100% membership interest in Securities Holdings, which operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hilltop Securities Inc. (“Hilltop Securities”), Hilltop Securities Independent Network Inc. (“HTS Independent Network”) (collectively, the “Hilltop Broker-Dealers”) and First Southwest Asset Management, LLC. Hilltop Securities is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and a member of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), HTS Independent Network is an introducing broker-dealer that is also registered with the SEC and FINRA, and First Southwest Asset Management, LLC is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Hilltop also owns 100% of NLC, which operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries, National Lloyds Insurance Company (“NLIC”) and American Summit Insurance Company (“ASIC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the above-named entities. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Noncontrolling interests have been recorded for minority ownership in entities that are not wholly owned and are presented in compliance with the provisions of Noncontrolling Interest in Subsidiary Subsections of the ASC. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform with the current period presentation. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, subsequent events were evaluated through the time the financial statements were issued. Financial statements are considered issued when they are widely distributed to all stockholders and other financial statement users, or filed with the SEC.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09 which provides clarity and reduces both diversity in practice and cost and complexity associated with changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award and, specifically, which changes require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption of the amendment is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08 which shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The amendment is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method. As permitted within the amendment, the Company elected to early adopt and apply the provisions of this amendment as of January 1, 2017. This adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-01 which provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendment is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, using the prospective method. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the amendment is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16 which addresses improvement in accounting for income tax consequences of intra-equity transfers of assets other than inventory. The amendment requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of the intra-equity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, using the modified retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted, however, the Company does not intend to adopt the provisions of the amendment early and does not expect such provisions to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows and to eliminate the diversity in practice related to such classifications. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 using a retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted, however, the Company does not intend to adopt the provisions of the amendment early and does not expect such provisions to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13 which sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires entities to measure all credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures) for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period of adoption. Although the Company does not intend to adopt the provisions of the amendment early, a cross-functional team is evaluating the provisions of the amendment and the impact on its future consolidated financial statements through the identification of data requirements and determination of necessary modifications to its existing credit loss model and processes. The extent of the change in allowance for loan losses will be impacted by the portfolio composition and quality at the adoption date as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02 related to leases. The new standard is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations and require lessees to record a right-to-use asset and liability representing the obligation to make lease payments for long-term leases. Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Adoption will require a modified retrospective transition where the lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Early adoption is permitted, however, the Company does not intend to adopt the provisions of the amendment early. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the amendment on its consolidated financial statements but upon adoption expects to report higher assets and liabilities as a result of including additional leases on the consolidated balance sheets. In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01 related to financial instruments. This amendment requires that most equity investments be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendment also impacts financial liabilities under the Fair Value Option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments and modifies the required process used to evaluate deferred tax assets on available for sale securities. The amendment is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Upon adoption, the Company will reclassify all equity investments out of trading and available for sale securities, with all subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. Additionally, the disclosure of the fair value of the loan portfolio will be presented using an exit price method instead of the current discounted cash flow method. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-01 on other aspects of its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The FASB has subsequently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification of principal versus agent considerations, narrow scope improvements and other technical corrections. The amendments outline a single comprehensive model for entities to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the payment to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments also require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and may be adopted using either a full retrospective transition method or a modified, cumulative-effect approach wherein the guidance is applied only to existing contracts as of the date of initial application and to new contracts entered into thereafter. The Company does not intend to adopt the provisions of the amendment early and expects to adopt using the cumulative-effect approach. The Company has gathered an inventory of contracts with customers and performed an in-depth assessment. The preliminary assessment suggests that the revenue recognition policies within the Company’s broker-dealer segment will be affected when adopted. Specifically, the new guidance may require certain advisory and underwriting revenues and expenses to be recorded on a gross basis while the current guidance requires recognizing these revenues net of the related expenses. The Company is still interpreting certain aspects of this new accounting guidance to address certain implementation issues, specifically the impact of any changes to the accounting for mutual fund fees and insurance product sales commissions received throughout the life of the contract. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact on its future consolidated financial statements of both current and newly issued guidance associated with the amendment.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	3. Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures The Company determines fair values in compliance with The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the ASC (the “Fair Value Topic”). The Fair Value Topic defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Fair Value Topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Fair Value Topic assumes that transactions upon which fair value measurements are based occur in the principal market for the asset or liability being measured. Further, fair value measurements made under the Fair Value Topic exclude transaction costs and are not the result of forced transactions. The Fair Value Topic creates a fair value hierarchy that classifies fair value measurements based upon the inputs used in valuing the assets or liabilities that are the subject of fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, as indicated below. · Level 1 Inputs : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date. · Level 2 Inputs : Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, credit risks and loss severities), and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by market data, among others. · Level 3 Inputs : Unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. Level 3 inputs include pricing models and discounted cash flow techniques, among others . Fair Value Option The Company has elected to measure substantially all of PrimeLending’s mortgage loans held for sale and retained mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) asset at fair value, under the provisions of the Fair Value Option. The Company elected to apply the provisions of the Fair Value Option to these items so that it would have the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate fair value of PrimeLending’s mortgage loans held for sale accounted for under the Fair Value Option was $1.86 billion and $1.75 billion, respectively, and the unpaid principal balance of those loans was $1.79 billion and $1.71 billion, respectively. The interest component of fair value is reported as interest income on loans in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company holds a number of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, either by the application of the Fair Value Option or other authoritative pronouncements. The fair values of those instruments are determined primarily using Level 2 inputs. Those inputs include quotes from mortgage loan investors and derivatives dealers and data from independent pricing services. The following tables present information regarding financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands). Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total September 30, 2017 Inputs Inputs Inputs Fair Value Trading securities $ 3,526 $ 672,885 $ — $ 676,411 Available for sale securities 20,983 744,559 — 765,542 Loans held for sale — 1,828,275 31,545 1,859,820 Derivative assets — 55,563 — 55,563 MSR asset — — 47,766 47,766 Securities sold, not yet purchased 85,471 88,038 — 173,509 Derivative liabilities — 17,500 — 17,500 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2016 Inputs Inputs Inputs Fair Value Trading securities $ 9,481 $ 256,053 $ — $ 265,534 Available for sale securities 19,840 578,167 — 598,007 Loans held for sale — 1,712,697 35,801 1,748,498 Derivative assets — 57,036 — 57,036 MSR asset — — 61,968 61,968 Securities sold, not yet purchased 60,715 93,174 — 153,889 Derivative liabilities — 35,737 — 35,737 The following tables include a rollforward for those financial instruments measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs (in thousands).

Excluding the trading securities sold during the three months ended September 30, 2016, the unrealized gains (losses) relate to financial instruments still held at September 30, 2017. For Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows. Range Financial instrument Valuation Technique Unobservable Inputs (Weighted-Average) Loans held for sale Discounted cash flows / Market comparable Projected price 90 - 95 % ( 95 %) MSR asset Discounted cash flows Constant prepayment rate 10.85 % Discount rate 11.07 % The fair value of certain loans held for sale that cannot be sold through normal sale channels or are non-performing is measured using Level 3 inputs. The fair values of such loans are generally based upon estimates of expected cash flows using unobservable inputs, including listing prices of comparable assets, uncorroborated expert opinions, and/or management’s knowledge of underlying collateral. The MSR asset, which is included in other assets within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, is valued by projecting net servicing cash flows, which are then discounted to estimate the fair value. The fair value of the MSR asset is impacted by a variety of factors. Prepayment rates and discount rates, the most significant unobservable inputs, are discussed further in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company had no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the periods presented. The following tables present those changes in fair value of instruments recognized in the consolidated statements of operations that are accounted for under the Fair Value Option (in thousands).

In addition, facts and circumstances may dictate a fair value measurement when there is evidence of impairment. Assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis include the items discussed below. Impaired Loans — The Company reports impaired loans based on the underlying fair value of the collateral through specific allowances within the allowance for loan losses. Purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans with a fair value of $172.9 million, $822.8 million and $73.5 million were acquired by the Company upon completion of the merger with PCC (the “PlainsCapital Merger”), the FDIC-assisted transaction whereby the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Edinburg, Texas-based First National Bank (“FNB”) on September 13, 2013 (the “FNB Transaction”), and the acquisition of SWS Group, Inc. (“SWS”) in a stock and cash transaction (the "SWS Merger"), whereby SWS’s banking subsidiary, Southwest Securities, FSB was merged into the Bank, respectively (collectively, the “Bank Transactions”). Substantially all PCI loans acquired in the FNB Transaction are covered by FDIC loss-share agreements. The fair value of PCI loans was determined using Level 3 inputs, including estimates of expected cash flows that incorporated significant unobservable inputs regarding default rates, loss severity rates assuming default, prepayment speeds on acquired loans accounted for in pools (“Pooled Loans”), and estimated collateral values. At September 30, 2017, estimates for these significant unobservable inputs were as follows. PCI Loans PlainsCapital FNB SWS Merger Transaction Merger Weighted average default rate % % % Weighted average loss severity rate % % % Weighted average prepayment speed % % % At September 30, 2017, the resulting weighted average expected loss on PCI loans associated with the PlainsCapital Merger, FNB Transaction and SWS Merger was 43%, 8% and 17%, respectively. The Company obtains updated appraisals of the fair value of collateral securing impaired collateral-dependent loans at least annually, in accordance with regulatory guidelines. The Company also reviews the fair value of such collateral on a quarterly basis. If the quarterly review indicates that the fair value of the collateral may have deteriorated, the Company orders an updated appraisal of the fair value of the collateral. Because the Company obtains updated appraisals when evidence of a decline in the fair value of collateral exists, it typically does not adjust appraised values. Other Real Estate Owned — The Company determines fair value primarily using independent appraisals of other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties. The resulting fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, depending upon the extent to which unobservable inputs determine the fair value measurement. The Company considers a number of factors in determining the extent to which specific fair value measurements utilize unobservable inputs, including, but not limited to, the inherent subjectivity in appraisals, the length of time elapsed since the receipt of independent market price or appraised value, and current market conditions. At September 30, 2017, the most significant unobservable input used in the determination of fair value of OREO was a discount to independent appraisals for estimated holding periods of OREO properties. Level 3 inputs were used to determine the initial fair value at acquisition of a large group of smaller balance properties that were acquired in the FNB Transaction. In the FNB Transaction, the Bank acquired OREO of $135.2 million, all of which is covered by FDIC loss-share agreements. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of covered OREO was $40.3 million and $51.6 million, respectively, and the underlying fair value measurements utilized Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The fair value of non-covered OREO at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $4.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and is included in other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. During the reported periods, all fair value measurements for non-covered OREO subsequent to initial recognition utilized Level 2 inputs. The following table presents information regarding certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for which a change in fair value has been recorded during reporting periods subsequent to initial recognition (in thousands).

There have been no changes to the methods for determining estimated fair value for financial assets and liabilities which are described in detail in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. The following tables present the carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis (in thousands).

While some of the securities held in the Company’s investment portfolio have decreased in value since the date of acquisition, the severity of loss and the duration of the loss position are not significant enough to warrant recording any OTTI of the securities. Factors considered in the Company’s analysis include the reasons for the unrealized loss position, the severity and duration of the unrealized loss position, credit worthiness, and forecasted performance of the investee. The Company does not intend to sell, nor does the Company believe that it is likely that the Company will be required to sell, these securities before the recovery of the cost basis. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties.

In addition, the Hilltop Broker-Dealers realized net gains from trading activities primarily associated with the structured finance business of $21.8 million and $33.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $38.8 million and $63.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. All such realized net gains are recorded as a component of other noninterest income within the consolidated statements of operations. Securities with a carrying amount of $600.6 million and $695.1 million (with a fair value of $597.1 million and $688.1 million, respectively) at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged to secure public and trust deposits, federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. Substantially all of these pledged securities were included in our available for sale and held to maturity securities portfolios at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations consist primarily of Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) pass-through and participation certificates. GNMA securities are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States, while FNMA and FHLMC securities are fully guaranteed by those respective United States government-sponsored agencies, and conditionally guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

Non-Covered Loans and Allowance for Non-Covered Loan Losses	5. Non-Covered Loans and Allowance for Non-Covered Loan Losses Non-covered loans refer to loans not covered by the FDIC loss-share agreements. Covered loans are discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. Non-covered loans summarized by portfolio segment are as follows (in thousands).

Reclassifications to nonaccretable difference occur when accruing loans are moved to non-accrual and expected cash flows are no longer predictable and the accretable yield is eliminated. The remaining nonaccretable difference for non-covered PCI loans was $20.2 million and $22.8 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Impaired loans exhibit a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet contractual principal and interest payments, which generally occurs when a loan is 90 days past due unless the asset is both well secured and in the process of collection. Non-covered impaired loans include non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), PCI loans and partially charged-off loans. The amounts shown in the following tables include loans accounted for on an individual basis, as well as acquired Pooled Loans. For Pooled Loans, the recorded investment with allowance and the related allowance consider impairment measured at the pool level. Non-covered impaired loans, segregated between those considered to be PCI loans and those without credit impairment at acquisition, are summarized by class in the following tables (in thousands).

In addition to the non-covered non-accrual loans in the table above, $1.6 million and $1.7 million of real estate loans secured by residential properties and classified as held for sale were in non-accrual status at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Interest income, including recoveries and cash payments, recorded on non-covered impaired loans was nominal during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest income, including recoveries and cash payments, recorded on non-covered impaired loans was $0.3 million during both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Except as noted above, non-covered PCI loans are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method. The Bank classifies loan modifications as TDRs when it concludes that it has both granted a concession to a debtor and that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Loan modifications are typically structured to create affordable payments for the debtor and can be achieved in a variety of ways. The Bank modifies loans by reducing interest rates and/or lengthening loan amortization schedules. The Bank may also reconfigure a single loan into two or more loans (“A/B Note”). The typical A/B Note restructure results in a “bad” loan which is charged off and a “good” loan or loans, the terms of which comply with the Bank’s customary underwriting policies. The debt charged off on the “bad” loan is not forgiven to the debtor. There were no TDRs granted during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Information regarding TDRs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, is shown in the following table (dollars in thousands). At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Bank had nominal unadvanced commitments to borrowers whose loans have been restructured in TDRs.

These loans are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and include loans that are subject to repurchase, or have been repurchased, by PrimeLending. Management tracks credit quality trends on a quarterly basis related to: (i) past due levels, (ii) non-performing asset levels, (iii) classified loan levels, (iv) net charge-offs, and (v) general economic conditions in state and local markets. The Bank utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of the loans in its portfolio. A risk rating is assigned based on an assessment of the borrower’s management, collateral position, financial capacity, and economic factors. The general characteristics of the various risk grades are described below. Pass – “Pass” loans present a range of acceptable risks to the Bank. Loans that would be considered virtually risk-free are rated Pass – low risk. Loans that exhibit sound standards based on the grading factors above and present a reasonable risk to the Bank are rated Pass – normal risk. Loans that exhibit a minor weakness in one or more of the grading criteria but still present an acceptable risk to the Bank are rated Pass – high risk. Special Mention – “Special Mention” loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans and weaken the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to require adverse classification. Substandard – “Substandard” loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Many substandard loans are considered impaired. PCI – “PCI” loans exhibited evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition that made it probable that all contractually required principal payments would not be collected. The following tables present the internal risk grades of non-covered loans, as previously described, in the portfolio by class (in thousands).

The Company’s analysis of the level of the allowance for loan losses to ensure that it is appropriate for the estimated credit losses in the portfolio consistent with the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and the Receivables and Contingencies Topics of the ASC is described in detail in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K. During 2016, the Bank discovered irregularities with respect to a non-covered loan that is currently in default. As a result, the Bank increased its provision for loan losses and recorded a $24.5 million charge-off during the second quarter of 2016, representing the entire outstanding principal balance of the loan. During the second quarter of 2017, the Bank recorded other noninterest income of $15.0 million from coverage provided by an insurance policy for forgery.

Covered Assets and Indemnification Asset
Covered Assets and Indemnification Asset.	6. Covered Assets and Indemnification Asset The Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of FNB in connection with an FDIC-assisted transaction on September 13, 2013 (the “Bank Closing Date”). As part of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement by and among the FDIC (as receiver of FNB), the Bank and the FDIC (the “P&A Agreement”), the Bank and the FDIC entered into loss-share agreements covering future losses incurred on certain acquired loans and OREO. The Company refers to acquired commercial and single family residential loan portfolios and OREO that are subject to the loss-share agreements as “covered loans” and “covered OREO”, respectively, and these assets are presented as separate line items in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Collectively, covered loans and covered OREO are referred to as “covered assets”. Pursuant to the loss-share agreements, the FDIC has agreed to reimburse the Bank the following amounts with respect to the covered assets: (i) 80% of net losses on the first $240.4 million of net losses incurred; (ii) 0% of net losses in excess of $240.4 million up to and including $365.7 million of net losses incurred; and (iii) 80% of net losses in excess of $365.7 million of net losses incurred. Net losses are defined as book value losses plus certain defined expenses incurred in the resolution of assets, less subsequent recoveries. Under the loss-share agreement for commercial assets, the amount of subsequent recoveries that are reimbursable to the FDIC for a particular asset is limited to book value losses and expenses actually billed plus any book value charge-offs incurred prior to the Bank Closing Date. There is no limit on the amount of subsequent recoveries reimbursable to the FDIC under the loss-share agreement for single family residential assets. The loss-share agreements for commercial and single family residential assets are in effect for five years and ten years, respectively, from the Bank Closing Date, and the loss recovery provisions to the FDIC are in effect for eight years and ten years, respectively, from the Bank Closing Date. The asset arising from the loss-share agreements, referred to as the “FDIC Indemnification Asset,” is measured separately from the covered loan portfolio because the agreements are not contractually embedded in the covered loans and are not transferable should the Bank choose to dispose of the covered loans. In accordance with the loss-share agreements, the Bank may be required to make a “true-up” payment to the FDIC approximately ten years following the Bank Closing Date if its actual net realized losses over the life of the loss-share agreements are less than the FDIC’s initial estimate of losses on covered assets. The “true-up” payment is calculated using a defined formula set forth in the P&A Agreement. At September 30, 2017, the Bank has recorded a related “true-up” payment accrual of $16.1 million based on the current estimate of aggregate realized losses on covered assets over the life of the loss-share agreements. Covered Loans and Allowance for Covered Loan Losses Loans acquired in the FNB Transaction that are subject to a loss-share agreement are referred to as “covered loans” and reported separately in the consolidated balance sheets. Covered loans are reported exclusive of the cash flow reimbursements that may be received from the FDIC. The Bank’s portfolio of acquired covered loans had a fair value of $1.1 billion as of the Bank Closing Date, with no carryover of any allowance for loan losses. Acquired covered loans were preliminarily segregated between those considered to be PCI loans and those without credit impairment at acquisition. In connection with the FNB Transaction, the Bank acquired loans both with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination. The Company’s accounting policies for acquired covered loans, including covered PCI loans, are consistent with the accounting policies for acquired non-covered loans, as described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company has established under its PCI accounting policy a framework to aggregate certain acquired covered loans into various loan pools based on a minimum of two layers of common risk characteristics for the purpose of determining their respective fair values as of their acquisition dates, and for applying the subsequent recognition and measurement provisions for income accretion and impairment testing. The following table presents the carrying value of the covered loans summarized by portfolio segment (in thousands). September 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Commercial and industrial $ 1,242 $ 2,697 Real estate 186,777 244,469 Construction and land development 2,391 8,961 190,410 256,127 Allowance for covered loans (2,141) (413) Total covered loans, net of allowance $ 188,269 $ 255,714 The following table presents the carrying value and the outstanding contractual balance of covered PCI loans (in thousands).

Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Balance, beginning of period $ 128,307 $ 157,604 $ 143,731 $ 176,719 Reclassifications from nonaccretable difference, net (1) 4,096 6,954 27,120 25,397 Transfer of loans to covered OREO (2) (77) (250) (857) (421) Accretion (10,040) (17,460) (47,708) (54,847) Balance, end of period $ 122,286 $ 146,848 $ 122,286 $ 146,848 (1) Reclassifications from nonaccretable difference are primarily due to net increases in expected cash flows in the quarterly recasts, but may also include the reclassification and immediate income recognition of nonaccretable difference due to the favorable resolution of loans accounted for individually. Reclassifications to nonaccretable difference occur when accruing loans are moved to non-accrual and expected cash flows are no longer predictable and the accretable yield is eliminated. (2) Transfer of loans to covered OREO is the difference between the value removed from the pool and the expected cash flows for the loan. The remaining nonaccretable difference for covered PCI loans was $53.1 million and $94.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, a combination of factors affecting the inputs to the Bank’s quarterly recast process led to the reclassifications from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield. These transfers resulted from revised cash flows that reflect better-than-expected performance of the covered PCI loan portfolio as a result of the Bank’s strategic decision to dedicate resources to the liquidation of covered loans during the noted periods. Covered impaired loans include non-accrual loans, TDRs, PCI loans and partially charged-off loans. The amounts shown in the following tables include Pooled Loans, as well as loans accounted for on an individual basis. For Pooled Loans, the recorded investment with allowance and the related allowance consider impairment measured at the pool level. Covered impaired loans, segregated between those considered to be PCI loans and those without credit impairment at acquisition, are summarized by class in the following tables (in thousands).

Interest income, including recoveries and cash payments, recorded on covered impaired loans was $0.9 million and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, while interest income recorded on covered impaired loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was nominal. Except as noted above, covered PCI loans are considered to be performing due to the application of the accretion method. The Bank classifies loan modifications of covered loans as TDRs in a manner consistent with that of non-covered loans as discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. The Bank did not grant any TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Pooled Loans are not in the scope of the disclosure requirements for TDRs. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Bank had nominal unadvanced commitments to borrowers whose loans have been restructured in TDRs.

Although the Bank recorded a fair value discount on the acquired assets upon acquisition, in some cases additional downward valuations were required. The majority of the downward valuations recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were related to covered assets subject to the loss-share agreements with the FDIC. These additional downward valuation adjustments reflect changes to the assumptions regarding the fair value of the OREO, including in some cases the intended use of the OREO due to the availability of more information, as well as the passage of time. The process of determining fair value is subjective in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Although the Bank makes market-based assumptions when valuing acquired assets, new information may come to light that causes estimates to increase or decrease. When the Bank determines, based on subsequent information, that its estimates require adjustment, the Bank records the adjustment. The accounting for such adjustments requires that the decreases to the initially recorded fair value be recorded at the time such new information is received, while increases to fair value are recorded when the asset is subsequently sold.

The key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the Company’s MSR asset were as follows. September 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Weighted average constant prepayment rate 10.85 % 10.47 % Weighted average discount rate 11.07 % 10.95 % Weighted average life (in years) 6.9 6.9 A sensitivity analysis of the fair value of the Company’s MSR asset to certain key assumptions is presented in the following table (in thousands). September 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Constant prepayment rate: Impact of 10% adverse change $ (1,747) $ (2,297) Impact of 20% adverse change (3,441) (4,471) Discount rate: Impact of 10% adverse change (1,889) (2,539) Impact of 20% adverse change (3,630) (4,882) This sensitivity analysis presents the effect of hypothetical changes in key assumptions on the fair value of the MSR asset. The effect of such hypothetical change in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in one key assumption to the change in the fair value of the MSR asset is not linear. In addition, in the analysis, the impact of an adverse change in one key assumption is calculated independent of any impact on other assumptions. In reality, changes in one assumption may change another assumption. Contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees earned of $4.2 million and $5.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $15.7 million and $17.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, were included in other noninterest income within the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	11. Income Taxes The Company applies an estimated annual effective rate to interim period pre-tax income to calculate the income tax provision for the quarter in accordance with the principal method prescribed by the accounting guidance established for computing income taxes in interim periods. The Company’s effective tax rate was 37.2% and 38.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 33.0% and 37.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes. The effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the gain recorded in the resolution of the SWS matter as discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, as the SWS Merger was a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The effective tax rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were slightly higher than the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible transaction costs associated with the SWS Merger, offset by the recognition of excess tax benefits on share-based payment awards.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	12. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters The Company is subject to loss contingencies related to litigation, claims, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these contingencies based on information currently available, including advice of counsel. The Company establishes accruals for those matters when a loss contingency is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. Any accruals are periodically reviewed and may be adjusted as circumstances change. A portion of the Company’s exposure with respect to loss contingencies may be offset by applicable insurance coverage. In determining the amounts of any accruals or estimates of possible loss contingencies, the Company does not take into account the availability of insurance coverage, other than that provided by reinsurers in the insurance segment. Assessments of litigation and claims exposures are difficult due to many factors that involve inherent unpredictability. Those factors include the following: the varying stages of the proceedings, particularly in the early stages; unspecified, unsupported, or uncertain damages; damages other than compensatory, such as punitive damages; a matter presenting meaningful legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; multiple defendants and jurisdictions; whether discovery has begun or is complete; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the claim involves a class action and if so, how the class is defined. As a result of some of these factors, the Company may be unable to estimate reasonably possible losses with respect to some or all of the pending and threatened litigation and claims asserted against the Company. Following completion of Hilltop’s acquisition of SWS, several purported holders of shares of SWS common stock (the “Petitioners”) filed petitions in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”) seeking appraisal for their shares pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. These petitions were consolidated as In re SWS Group, Inc. , C.A. No. 10554-VCG. On May 30, 2017, the Court issued its Memorandum Opinion in the matter. The Court found the “fair value” of the shares of SWS common stock as of the date of the transaction was $6.38 per share. Accordingly, Hilltop paid cash of $6.38 per share, plus statutory interest from the effective date of the merger until the date of payment, to the Petitioners and the other stockholders of SWS who properly demanded appraisal rights under Delaware law, collectively representing 7,438,453 shares. Each outstanding share of SWS common stock, other than shares held by Hilltop, in treasury by SWS or by stockholders who properly demanded appraisal rights under Delaware law, was converted into the right to receive 0.2496 shares of Hilltop common stock and $1.94 in cash, the aggregate value of which was $6.92 per share of SWS common stock as of the effective date of the merger. The resolution of this matter resulted in 1,856,638 shares of HTH common stock, which had been held in escrow during the pendency of the proceeding, being returned to the Company’s pool of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and a pre-tax net increase to other noninterest income of $11.6 million during the second quarter of 2017. This change in common stock is reflected in repurchases of common stock within the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Certain Petitioners filed an appeal to the Court’s Memorandum Opinion. The Company also filed a cross-appeal in the matter and intends to vigorously defend the Petitioners’ appeal. The Company is involved in information-gathering requests and investigations (both formal and informal), as well as reviews, examinations and proceedings (collectively, “Inquiries”) by various governmental regulatory agencies, law enforcement authorities and self-regulatory bodies regarding certain of its businesses, business practices and policies, as well as the conduct of persons with whom it does business. Additional Inquiries will arise from time to time. In connection with those Inquiries, the Company receives document requests, subpoenas and other requests for information. The Inquiries, including the Inquiry described below, could develop into administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or enforcement actions that could result in consequences that have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole. Such consequences could include adverse judgments, findings, settlements, penalties, fines, orders, injunctions, restitution, or alterations in the Company’s business practices, and could result in additional expenses and collateral costs, including reputational damage. As a part of an industry-wide Inquiry, PrimeLending received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regarding mortgage-related practices, including those relating to origination practices for loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (the “FHA”). On August 20, 2014, PrimeLending received a Civil Investigative Demand from the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) related to this Inquiry. According to the Civil Investigative Demand, the DOJ is conducting an investigation to determine whether PrimeLending has violated the False Claims Act in connection with originating and underwriting single-family residential mortgage loans insured by the FHA. The DOJ has advised PrimeLending that, based upon its review of a sample of loans for which an FHA insurance claim was paid by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), some of the loans do not meet FHA underwriting guidelines. PrimeLending, based upon its own review of the loan sample, does not agree with the sampling methodology and loan analysis employed by the DOJ. Remedies in these proceedings or settlements may include statutory damages, indemnification, fines and/or penalties. Many institutions have settled these matters on terms that included large monetary penalties. PrimeLending has fully cooperated with this Inquiry, continues to discuss this matter with the DOJ and adjusts its indemnification reserve based upon such discussions. While the final outcome of litigation and claims exposures or of any Inquiries is inherently unpredictable, management is currently of the opinion that the outcome of pending and threatened litigation and Inquiries will not, except related to specific matters disclosed above, have a material effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is reasonably possible that an adverse outcome in any matter, including the matters discussed above, could be material to the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period of occurrence. Indemnification Liability Reserve The mortgage origination segment may be responsible to agencies, investors, or other parties for errors or omissions relating to its representations and warranties that each loan sold meets certain requirements, including representations as to underwriting standards and the validity of certain borrower representations in connection with the loan. If determined to be at fault, the mortgage origination segment either repurchases the affected loan from or indemnifies the claimant against loss. The mortgage origination segment has established an indemnification liability reserve for such probable losses. Generally, the mortgage origination segment first becomes aware that an agency, investor, or other party believes a loss has been incurred on a sold loan when it receives a written request from the claimant to repurchase the loan or reimburse the claimant’s losses. Upon completing its review of the claimant’s request, the mortgage origination segment establishes a specific claims reserve for the loan if it concludes its obligation to the claimant is both probable and reasonably estimable. An additional reserve has been established for probable agency, investor or other party losses that may have been incurred, but not yet reported to the mortgage origination segment based upon a reasonable estimate of such losses. Factors considered in the calculation of this reserve include, but are not limited to, the total volume of loans sold exclusive of specific claimant requests, actual claim settlements and the severity of estimated losses resulting from future claims, and the mortgage origination segment’s history of successfully curing defects identified in claim requests. While the mortgage origination segment’s sales contracts typically include borrower early payment default repurchase provisions, these provisions have not been a primary driver of claims to date, and therefore, are not a primary factor considered in the calculation of this reserve. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the mortgage origination segment’s indemnification liability reserve totaled $24.7 million and $18.2 million, respectively. The provision for indemnification losses was $2.5 million and $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $4.5 million and $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The following tables provide for a rollforward of claims activity for loans put-back to the mortgage origination segment based upon an alleged breach of a representation or warranty with respect to a loan sold and related indemnification liability reserve activity (in thousands).

The impact of such matters is considered in the reserving process when probable and estimable. Other Contingencies In connection with the FNB Transaction, the Bank entered into two loss-share agreements with the FDIC that collectively cover $1.2 billion of loans and OREO acquired in the FNB Transaction. Pursuant to the loss-share agreements, the FDIC has agreed to reimburse the Bank the following amounts with respect to the covered assets: (i) 80% of net losses on the first $240.4 million of net losses incurred; (ii) 0% of net losses in excess of $240.4 million up to and including $365.7 million of net losses incurred; and (iii) 80% of net losses in excess of $365.7 million of net losses incurred. Net losses are defined as book value losses plus certain defined expenses incurred in the resolution of assets, less subsequent recoveries. Under the loss-share agreement for commercial assets, the amount of subsequent recoveries that are reimbursable to the FDIC for a particular asset is limited to book value losses and expenses actually billed plus any book value charge-offs incurred prior to the Bank Closing Date. There is no limit on the amount of subsequent recoveries reimbursable to the FDIC under the loss-share agreement for single family residential assets. The loss-share agreements for commercial and single family residential assets are in effect for five years and ten years, respectively, from the Bank Closing Date and the loss recovery provisions to the FDIC are in effect for eight years and ten years, respectively, from the Bank Closing Date. As part of the loss-share agreements, the Bank is subject to annual FDIC compliance audits. As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, and in accordance with the loss-share agreements, the Bank may be required to make a “true-up” payment to the FDIC approximately ten years following the Bank Closing Date if its actual net realized losses over the life of the loss-share agreements are less than the FDIC’s initial estimate of losses on covered assets. The “true-up” payment is calculated using a defined formula set forth in the P&A Agreement. While the ultimate amount of any “true-up” payment is unknown at this time and will vary based upon the amount of future losses or recoveries within our covered loan portfolio, the Bank has recorded a related “true-up” payment accrual of $16.1 million at September 30, 2017 based on the current estimate of aggregate realized losses on covered assets over the life of the loss-share agreements. The initial estimate of the FDIC Indemnification Asset at the Bank Closing Date was recorded at the present value of 80% of $240.4 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Bank projects that the sum of actual plus projected covered losses and reimbursable expenses subject to the loss-share agreements will be less than $240.4 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Bank had billed $181.9 million of covered net losses to the FDIC, of which 80%, or $145.5 million, were reimbursable under the loss-share agreements. As of September 30, 2017, the Bank had received aggregate reimbursements of $145.5 million from the FDIC, which represented reimbursable covered losses and expenses through June 30, 2017.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk	13. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit that involve varying degrees of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement (and therefore the exposure to credit loss) the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided that the terms established in the contract are met. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and may require payment of fees. Because some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers. In the aggregate, the Bank had outstanding unused commitments to extend credit of $2.0 billion at September 30, 2017 and outstanding financial and performance standby letters of credit of $28.8 million at September 30, 2017. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and standby letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, in these transactions is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include real estate, accounts receivable, marketable securities, interest-bearing deposit accounts, inventory, and property, plant and equipment. In the normal course of business, the Hilltop Broker-Dealers execute, settle, and finance various securities transactions that may expose the Hilltop Broker-Dealers to off-balance sheet risk in the event that a customer or counterparty does not fulfill its contractual obligations. Examples of such transactions include the sale of securities not yet purchased by customers or for the accounts of the Hilltop Broker-Dealers, use of derivatives to support certain non-profit housing organization clients, clearing agreements between the Hilltop Broker-Dealers and various clearinghouses and broker-dealers, secured financing arrangements that involve pledged securities, and when-issued underwriting and purchase commitments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of the Company awarded certain executives and key employees an aggregate of 421,189 RSUs pursuant to the 2012 Plan. At September 30, 2017, 322,493 of these outstanding RSUs are subject to time-based vesting conditions and generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, and 89,439 of these outstanding RSUs will cliff vest based upon the achievement of certain performance goals over a three-year period. At September 30, 2017, in the aggregate, 1,177,641 of the outstanding RSUs are subject to time-based vesting conditions and generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, and 303,800 outstanding RSUs cliff vest based upon the achievement of certain performance goals over a three-year period. At September 30, 2017, unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs of $16.2 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.42 years.

Regulatory Matters
Regulatory Matters	15. Regulatory Matters Banking and Hilltop PlainsCapital and Hilltop are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory — and possibly additional discretionary — actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct, material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The regulations require PlainsCapital and Hilltop to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company performs reviews of the classification and calculation of risk-weighted assets to ensure accuracy and compliance with the Basel III regulatory capital requirements. The capital classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the companies to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). In order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, stock repurchases and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, Basel III also implemented a capital conservation buffer, which requires a banking organization to hold a buffer above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. This buffer will help to ensure that banking organizations conserve capital when it is most needed, allowing them to better weather periods of economic stress. The buffer is measured relative to risk-weighted assets. The phase-in of the capital conservation buffer requirements began on January 1, 2016 for Hilltop and the Bank. Based on the actual ratios as shown in the table below, Hilltop and the Bank exceed each of the capital conservation buffer requirements in effect as of September 30, 2017, as well as the fully phased-in requirements through 2019. The following table shows PlainsCapital’s and Hilltop’s actual capital amounts and ratios in accordance with Basel III compared to the regulatory minimum capital requirements including conservation buffer in effect at the end of the period and on a fully phased-in basis as if such requirements were currently in effect as measured at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively (dollars in thousands). Based on actual capital amounts and ratios shown in the following table, PlainsCapital’s ratios place it in the “well capitalized” (as defined) capital category under regulatory requirements.

Accordingly, Hilltop Securities is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined in Rule 15c3-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, equal to the greater of $250,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, or 2% of aggregate debit balances, as defined in Rule 15c3-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Additionally, the net capital rule of the NYSE provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if resulting net capital would be less than 5% of the aggregate debit items. HTS Independent Network follows the primary (aggregate indebtedness) method, as defined in Rule 15c3-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, which requires the maintenance of the larger of minimum net capital of $250,000 or 1/15 of aggregate indebtedness. At September 30, 2017, the net capital position of each of the Hilltop Broker-Dealers was as follows (in thousands). HTS Hilltop Independent Securities Network Net capital $ 181,288 $ 3,353 Less: required net capital 9,679 250 Excess net capital $ 171,609 $ 3,103 Net capital as a percentage of aggregate debit items 37.5 % Net capital in excess of 5% aggregate debit items $ 157,089 Under certain conditions, Hilltop Securities may be required to segregate cash and securities in a special reserve account for the benefit of customers under Rule 15c3-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Assets segregated under the provisions of the Exchange Act are not available for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Hilltop Securities held cash of $207.3 million and $181.0 million, respectively, segregated in special reserve bank accounts for the benefit of customers. Hilltop Securities was not required to segregate cash and securities in special reserve accounts for the benefit of proprietary accounts of introducing broker-dealers at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The fair values of any segregated assets included in special reserve accounts were determined using Level 1 inputs. Mortgage Origination As a mortgage originator, PrimeLending and its subsidiaries are subject to minimum net worth and liquidity requirements established by the HUD and the GNMA, as applicable. On an annual basis, PrimeLending and its subsidiaries submit audited financial statements to HUD and GNMA, as applicable, documenting their respective compliance with its minimum net worth and liquidity requirements. As of September 30, 2017, PrimeLending and its subsidiaries’ net worth and liquidity exceeded the amounts required by both HUD and GNMA, as applicable. Insurance The statutory financial statements of the Company's insurance subsidiaries, which are domiciled in the State of Texas, are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Texas Department of Insurance. Texas has adopted the statutory accounting practices of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) as the basis of its statutory accounting practices with certain differences that are not significant to the insurance company subsidiaries’ statutory equity. A summary of statutory capital and surplus and statutory net income (loss) of each insurance subsidiary is as follows (in thousands). September 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Capital and surplus: National Lloyds Insurance Company $ 86,879 $ 131,328 American Summit Insurance Company 21,831 30,462 Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Statutory net income (loss): National Lloyds Insurance Company $ (4,147) $ 8,146 $ (10,663) $ 4,507 American Summit Insurance Company (1,216) (357) (693) 729 Regulations of the Texas Department of Insurance require insurance companies to maintain minimum levels of statutory surplus to ensure their ability to meet their obligations to policyholders. At September 30, 2017, the Company's insurance subsidiaries had statutory surplus in excess of the minimum required. The NAIC has adopted a risk based capital (“RBC”) formula for insurance companies that establishes minimum capital requirements indicating various levels of available regulatory action on an annual basis relating to insurance risk, asset credit risk, interest rate risk and business risk. The RBC formula is used by the NAIC and certain state insurance regulators as an early warning tool to identify companies that require additional scrutiny or regulatory action. At September 30, 2017, the Company's insurance subsidiaries' RBC ratio exceeded the level at which regulatory action would be required.

Stockholders’ Equity Dividend Declaration On October 26, 2017, the Company announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per common share, payable on November 30, 2017, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2017. Stock Repurchase Program The Company’s board of directors reauthorized the stock repurchase program originally approved during the second quarter of 2016 through January 2018, under which the Company may repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares in open-market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions as permitted under Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases depends upon market conditions and other corporate considerations, as determined by Hilltop’s management team. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid $27.4 million to repurchase an aggregate of 1,057,656 shares of common stock at an average price of $25.87 per share. These shares were returned to the Company’s pool of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The purchases were funded from available cash balances. The Company’s accounting treatment and policy regarding stock repurchases is discussed in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K.

Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments	17. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses various derivative financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risk. The Bank’s interest rate risk management strategy involves effectively managing the re-pricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities to mitigate potential adverse impacts from changes in interest rates on the net interest margin. PrimeLending has interest rate risk relative to interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) and its inventory of mortgage loans held for sale. PrimeLending is exposed to such interest rate risk from the time an IRLC is made to an applicant to the time the related mortgage loan is sold. To mitigate interest rate risk, PrimeLending executes forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities (“MBSs”). Additionally, PrimeLending has interest rate risk relative to its MSR asset and uses derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, swaptions, and U.S. Treasury bond futures and options to hedge this risk. The Hilltop Broker-Dealers use forward commitments to both purchase and sell MBSs to facilitate customer transactions and as a means to hedge related exposure to interest rate risk in certain inventory positions. Non-Hedging Derivative Instruments and the Fair Value Option As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to measure substantially all mortgage loans held for sale at fair value under the provisions of the Fair Value Option. The election provides the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without applying complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair values of PrimeLending’s IRLCs, forward commitments, interest rate swaps and swaptions, and U.S. Treasury bond futures and options are recorded in other assets or other liabilities, as appropriate, and changes in the fair values of these derivative instruments are recorded as a component of net gains from sale of loans and other mortgage production income. The fair value of PrimeLending’s derivative instruments decreased $9.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with an increase of $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, while the fair values of PrimeLending’s derivatives decreased $0.4 million and $13.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Changes in fair value are attributable to changes in the volume of IRLCs, mortgage loans held for sale, commitments to purchase and sell MBSs and MSR assets, and changes in market interest rates. Changes in market interest rates also conversely affect the value of PrimeLending’s mortgage loans held for sale and its MSR asset, which are measured at fair value under the Fair Value Option. The effect of the change in market interest rates on PrimeLending’s loans held for sale and MSR asset is discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The fair values of the Hilltop Broker-Dealers’ and the Bank’s derivative instruments are recorded in other assets or other liabilities, as appropriate. The fair values of the Hilltop Broker-Dealers’ derivatives decreased $3.6 million and $8.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, while the fair values of the Bank’s derivatives increased $49 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with an increase of $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The fair values of the Hilltop Broker-Dealers’ derivatives increased $12.6 million and $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, while the fair values of the Bank’s derivatives increased $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with a decrease of $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The changes in fair value were recorded as a component of other noninterest income. Derivative positions are presented in the following table (in thousands). September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Notional Estimated Notional Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value Derivative instruments: IRLCs $ 1,248,422 $ 28,601 $ 944,550 $ 23,269 Customer-based written options 14,930 30 — — Customer-based purchased options 14,930 (30) — — Commitments to purchase MBSs 3,198,208 7,040 3,616,922 (1,155) Commitments to sell MBSs 5,878,986 2,517 5,609,250 (532) Interest rate swaps and swaptions 28,152 (95) 32,452 (283) U.S. Treasury bond futures and options (1) 194,000 — 297,000 — (1) Changes in the fair value of these contracts are settled daily with PrimeLending’s counterparty. PrimeLending had cash collateral advances totaling $3.7 million to offset net liability derivative positions on its commitments to sell MBSs at September 30, 2017, compared to a payable of $19.1 million on its net liability derivative position on its commitments to sell MBSs at December 31, 2016. In addition, PrimeLending advanced cash collateral totaling $3.2 million on its U.S. Treasury bond futures and options at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. These amounts are included in other assets within the consolidated balance sheets.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transactions. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities, which is monitored on a daily basis. Securities Lending Activities — The Company’s securities lending activities include lending securities for other broker-dealers, lending institutions and its own clearing and retail operations. These activities involve lending securities to other broker-dealers to cover short sales, to complete transactions in which there has been a failure to deliver securities by the required settlement date and as a conduit for financing activities. When lending securities, the Company receives cash or similar collateral and generally pays interest (based on the amount of cash deposited) to the other party to the transaction. Securities lending transactions are executed pursuant to written agreements with counterparties that generally require securities loaned to be marked-to-market on a daily basis. The Company receives collateral in the form of cash in an amount generally in excess of the fair value of securities loaned. The Company monitors the fair value of securities loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded, as necessary. Collateral adjustments are made on a daily basis through the facilities of various clearinghouses. The Company is a principal in these securities lending transactions and is liable for losses in the event of a failure of any other party to honor its contractual obligation. Management sets credit limits with each counterparty and reviews these limits regularly to monitor the risk level with each counterparty. The Company is subject to credit risk through its securities lending activities if securities prices decline rapidly because the value of the Company’s collateral could fall below the amount of the indebtedness it secures. In rapidly appreciating markets, credit risk increases due to short positions. The Company’s securities lending business subjects the Company to credit risk if a counterparty fails to perform or if collateral securing its obligations is insufficient. In securities transactions, the Company is subject to credit risk during the period between the execution of a trade and the settlement by the customer. The following tables present the remaining contractual maturities of repurchase agreement and securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings (in thousands). The Company had no repurchase-to-maturity transactions outstanding at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Reinsurance Activity
Reinsurance Activity	21. Reinsurance Activity NLC limits the maximum net loss that can arise from large risks or risks in concentrated areas of exposure by reinsuring (ceding) certain levels of risk. Substantial amounts of business are ceded, and these reinsurance contracts do not relieve NLC from its obligations to policyholders. Such reinsurance includes quota share, excess of loss, catastrophe, and other forms of reinsurance on essentially all property and casualty lines of insurance. Net insurance premiums earned, losses and LAE and policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses are reported net of the amounts related to reinsurance ceded to other companies. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers related to the portions of the liability for losses and LAE and unearned insurance premiums ceded to them are reported as assets. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to NLC; consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible as NLC evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities, or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. At September 30, 2017, total reinsurance recoverables and receivables had a carrying value of $35.8 million, which is included in other assets within the consolidated balance sheet. There was no allowance for uncollectible accounts at September 30, 2017, based on NLC’s quality requirements. The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned are summarized as follows (in thousands). Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Written Earned Written Earned Written Earned Written Earned Premiums from direct business $ 33,909 $ 36,096 $ 38,200 $ 39,839 $ 107,497 $ 110,048 $ 119,955 $ 120,902 Reinsurance assumed 3,200 2,993 2,927 2,798 9,427 8,721 8,752 8,180 Reinsurance ceded (4,028) (4,596) (4,038) (3,890) (10,215) (12,116) (11,783) (11,881) Net premiums $ 33,081 $ 34,493 $ 37,089 $ 38,747 $ 106,709 $ 106,653 $ 116,924 $ 117,201 The effects of reinsurance on incurred losses are as follows (in thousands). Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Losses and LAE incurred $ 67,152 $ 19,953 $ 122,806 $ 98,903 Reinsurance recoverables (35,918) (3,898) (36,688) (23,678) Net loss and LAE incurred $ 31,234 $ 16,055 $ 86,118 $ 75,225 Catastrophic coverage At September 30, 2017, NLC had catastrophic excess of loss reinsurance coverage of losses per event in excess of $8 million retention by NLIC and $1.5 million retention by ASIC. ASIC maintained an underlying layer of coverage, providing $6.5 million in excess of its $1.5 million retention to bridge to the primary program. The reinsurance in excess of $8 million is comprised of three layers of protection: $17 million in excess of $8 million retention and/or loss; $30 million in excess of $25 million loss; and $50 million in excess of $55 million loss. NLIC and ASIC retain no participation in any of the layers, beyond the first $8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. At September 30, 2017, total retention for any one catastrophe that affects both NLIC and ASIC was limited to $8 million in the aggregate. Effective January 1, 2017, NLC renewed its underlying excess of loss contract that provides $10 million aggregate coverage in excess of NLC’s per event retention and aggregate retention for sub-catastrophic events. NLC retains no participation beyond the first $1 million, which is consistent with 2016. During August and September 2017, NLC experienced losses related to Hurricane Harvey in excess of retention. As of September 30, 2017, the total gross losses and LAE incurred associated with Hurricane Harvey was $19.0 million. However, because the losses exceeded retention, net exposure to NLC was $3.9 million retention and $1.5 million in reinstatement premiums.

Earnings per Common Share
Earnings per Common Share	23. Earnings per Common Share Nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method prescribed by the Earnings Per Share Topic of the ASC. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Restricted Stock Awards, all of which are vested as of September 30, 2017, were the only instruments issued by Hilltop which qualified as participating securities. Net earnings, less any preferred dividends accumulated for the period (whether or not declared), is allocated between the common stock and participating securities pursuant to the two-class method. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding participating nonvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per common share is computed in a similar manner, except that first the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares, excluding the participating securities, were issued using the treasury stock method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, RSUs were the only potentially dilutive non-participating instruments issued by Hilltop, while during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, stock options and RSUs were potentially dilutive non-participating instruments. Next, the Company determines and includes in the diluted earnings per common share calculation the more dilutive effect of the participating securities using the treasury stock method or the two-class method. Undistributed losses are not allocated to the nonvested share-based payment awards (the participating securities) under the two-class method as the holders are not contractually obligated to share in the losses of the Company. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except per share data). Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Basic earnings per share: Income attributable to Hilltop $ 30,206 $ 51,932 $ 119,116 $ 110,573 Less: income applicable to participating shares — (5) — (11) Net earnings available to Hilltop common stockholders $ 30,206 $ 51,927 $ 119,116 $ 110,562 Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 96,096 98,490 97,554 98,367 Basic earnings per common share $ 0.31 $ 0.53 $ 1.22 $ 1.12 Diluted earnings per share: Income attributable to Hilltop $ 30,206 $ 51,932 $ 119,116 $ 110,573 Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 96,096 98,490 97,554 98,367 Effect of potentially dilutive securities 210 135 249 206 Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 96,306 98,625 97,803 98,573 Diluted earnings per common share $ 0.31 $ 0.53 $ 1.22 $ 1.12

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K”). Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or any future period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates regarding the allowance for loan losses, the fair values of financial instruments, the amounts receivable from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) under loss-share agreements (the “FDIC Indemnification Asset”), reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”), the mortgage loan indemnification liability, and the potential impairment of assets are particularly subject to change. The Company has applied its critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Noncontrolling interests have been recorded for minority ownership in entities that are not wholly owned and are presented in compliance with the provisions of Noncontrolling Interest in Subsidiary Subsections of the ASC. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.
