DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH) ranked No. 3 in the $5 billion to $50
billion asset category on the 2014 Bank Performance Scorecard published
by Bank Director magazine. According to a press release issued by Bank
Director magazine, the Bank Performance Scorecard is an annual
ranking of the 200 largest banks traded on the NASDAQ OMX and NYSE

$5 billion in assets.
Bank Director magazine uses five key metrics to evaluate bank
performance: core return on average equity (ROAE) and core return on
average assets (ROAA), to measure profitability; the ratio of tangible
common equity (TCE) to tangible assets, to measure capital strength; and
credit quality, gauged through the ratio of nonperforming assets to
total loans and other real estate owned, and the ratio of net
charge-offs to average loans.
Bank Director magazine is a leading information resource for
directors and officers of financial institutions and reaches the leaders
of the institutions that comprise America’s banking industry.
