Hilltop Holdings redeems $50 million subordinated notes

Hilltop Holdings Inc . (NYSE:HTH), a state commercial bank headquartered in Dallas, Texas with a market capitalization of $1.98 billion, announced on Monday the redemption of all its outstanding 5.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong financial health with a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.1 and trades slightly below its Fair Value. The redemption, which occurred on the previously scheduled date of May 15, 2025, involved an aggregate principal amount of $50 million plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date.

The company executed this transaction in accordance with the terms set out in the First Supplemental Indenture, dated May 11, 2020, to the Indenture between Hilltop Holdings and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. This indenture allowed for the redemption of the notes beginning May 15, 2025, the date when the notes were scheduled to convert from a fixed to a floating rate. InvestingPro analysis reveals the company has maintained consistent dividend payments for 10 consecutive years, demonstrating strong financial discipline.

Hilltop Holdings confirmed that it had deposited sufficient funds with the Trustee to cover the Redemption Price, thereby satisfying and discharging its obligations under the notes and the First Supplemental Indenture.

This financial move, detailed in the company’s latest 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), falls under both the termination of a material definitive agreement and the triggering events that accelerate or increase a direct financial obligation or an obligation under an off-balance sheet arrangement.

The company’s decision to redeem these subordinated notes is a significant financial event that concludes the life of this particular debt instrument. The 8-K filing ensures that investors and regulators are informed of this development in compliance with SEC regulations.

In other recent news, Hilltop Holdings Inc. reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2025, surpassing analyst expectations with an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.65, significantly higher than the forecasted $0.31. The company also exceeded revenue projections, reporting $318.46 million against a forecast of $290.55 million. Analysts from Stephens raised the price target for Hilltop Holdings to $34.00, maintaining an Equal Weight rating, following the positive trends in net interest income and net interest margin. The company is expected to engage in more capital deployment activities, such as debt redemption and stock repurchase, as noted by Stephens analysts.

Additionally, Hilltop Holdings announced changes to its board of directors and an amendment to an executive’s employment agreement. Gerald J. Ford was named Chairman Emeritus, while Jeremy B. Ford took over as the new Chairman of the Board. The company also extended Martin B. Winges’ contract term until February 29, 2028, with changes to his incentive bonus structure. Despite challenges in the mortgage market, Hilltop’s PlainsCapital Bank maintained core customer balances, and PrimeLending achieved a mortgage origination volume of $1.7 billion.

The company benefited from a $23.6 million gain from the sale of Mosier Energy Solutions and a $5 million insurance recovery. Hilltop Holdings is also preparing for potential Federal Reserve rate reductions, which could impact deposit costs and net interest income. These developments reflect Hilltop Holdings’ strategic focus and operational adjustments amidst a challenging financial environment.
