Hilltop Holdings reported strong second-quarter results, driven by record performance in its mortgage origination segment and growth in its securities business. The company completed the sale of its insurance segment and increased its allowance for credit losses in response to the economic impact of COVID-19.
Income from continuing operations to common stockholders was $97.7 million, or $1.08 per diluted share.
Mortgage origination segment net gains from sales of loans and other mortgage production income increased by 125.1% to $295.3 million.
Mortgage loan origination production volume was $6.1 billion, up from $4.0 billion in the second quarter of 2019.
The company completed the sale of its insurance segment, National Lloyds Corporation, for cash proceeds of $154.1 million.
The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to have implications on Hilltop's business and operations for the remainder of 2020. The extent of the impact is dependent on certain developments and uncertainties.
