FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

First Horizon National Corporation (“FHN”) began as a community bank chartered in 1864 and as of December 31, 2016, was one of the 40 largest publicly traded banking organizations in the United States in terms of asset size.

FHN’s two major brands – First Tennessee and FTN Financial – provide customers with a broad range of products and services. First Tennessee provides consumer and commercial banking services throughout Tennessee and other selected markets and is the largest bank headquartered in the state of Tennessee. FTN Financial (“FTNF”) is an industry leader in fixed income sales, trading, and strategies for institutional clients in the U.S. and abroad.

FHN is composed of the following operating segments:

 

 

Regional banking offers financial products and services including traditional lending and deposit-taking to consumer and commercial customers in Tennessee and other selected markets. Regional banking provides investments, financial planning, trust services and asset management, along with credit card and cash management services. Additionally, the regional banking segment includes correspondent banking which provides credit, depository, and other banking-related services to other financial institutions nationally.

 

 

Fixed income provides financial services for depository and non-depository institutions through the sale and distribution of fixed income securities, loan sales, portfolio advisory services, and derivative sales.

 

 

Corporate consists of unallocated corporate expenses, expense on subordinated debt issuances, bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), unallocated interest income associated with excess equity, net impact of raising incremental capital, revenue and expense associated with deferred compensation plans, funds management, tax credit investment activities, gains on the extinguishment of debt, derivative valuation adjustments related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares, and acquisition-related costs.

 

 

Non-strategic includes exited businesses and wind-down national consumer lending activities, other discontinued products, and loan portfolios and service lines.

On October 27, 2016, FTN Financial announced its plan to acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of Coastal Securities, Inc. (“Coastal”), a national leader in the trading, securitization, and analysis of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, for approximately $160 million in cash. Based in Houston, TX, Coastal also trades United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) loans and fixed income products and provides municipal underwriting and advisory services to its clients. Coastal’s government-guaranteed loan products, combined with FTN Financial’s existing SBA trading activities, will establish an additional major product sector for FTN Financial. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017.

On September 16, 2016, FTBNA acquired $537.4 million of UPB in restaurant franchise loans from GE Capital. The acquired loans were combined with existing FTBNA relationships to establish a franchise finance specialty lending business.

On October 2, 2015, FHN completed its acquisition of TrustAtlantic Financial Corporation (“TrustAtlantic Financial” or “TAF”), and its wholly owned bank subsidiary TrustAtlantic Bank (“TAB”), for an aggregate of 5.1 million shares of FHN common stock and $23.9 million in cash in a transaction valued at $96.7 million. The fair value of the acquired assets totaled $445.3 million, including $281.9 million in loans. FHN also assumed $344.1 million of TAB deposits. FHN’s operating results include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the acquisition date. Refer to Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.

For the purpose of this management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”), earning assets have been expressed as averages, unless otherwise noted, and loans have been disclosed net of unearned income. The following financial discussion should be read with the accompanying audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes in this report.

ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING UPDATES

Effective January 1, 2016, FHN retroactively adopted the requirements of ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying value of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. FHN previously classified debt issuance costs within Other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Condition, consistent with prior requirements. The retrospective application of ASU 2015-03 resulted in a decrease to Other assets and Term borrowings of $2.5 million at December 31, 2015 versus previously reported amounts. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 had no effect on FHN’s recognition of interest expense. All prior periods and associated narrative in this report have been revised to reflect this change. For additional information see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this report.

Non-GAAP Measures

Certain measures are included in the narrative and tables in this MD&A that are “non-GAAP”, meaning (under U.S. financial reporting rules) they are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the U.S. and also are not codified in U.S. banking regulations currently applicable to FHN. Although other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by FHN for non-GAAP measures, FHN’s management believes such measures are relevant to understanding the capital position or financial results of FHN. Non-GAAP measures are reported to FHN’s management and Board of Directors through various internal reports.

Presentation of regulatory measures, even those which are not GAAP, provide a meaningful base for comparability to other financial institutions subject to the same regulations as FHN, as demonstrated by their use by banking regulators in reviewing capital adequacy of financial institutions. Although not GAAP terms, these regulatory measures are not considered “non-GAAP” under U.S. financial reporting rules as long as their presentation conforms to regulatory standards. Regulatory measures used in this MD&A include: tier 1 capital, generally defined as the sum of core capital (including common equity and instruments that cannot be redeemed at the option of the holder) adjusted for certain items under risk based capital regulations; common equity tier 1 capital, generally defined as common equity less goodwill, other intangibles, and certain other required regulatory deductions; and risk-weighted assets (“RWA”), which is a measure of total on- and off-balance sheet assets adjusted for credit and market risk, used to determine regulatory capital ratios.

The non-GAAP measures presented in this filing are return on average tangible common equity (“ROTCE”), tangible common equity to tangible assets and adjusted tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets. Refer to table 31 for a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures and presentation of the most comparable GAAP items.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements with respect to FHN’s beliefs, plans, goals, expectations, and estimates. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not a representation of historical information but instead pertain to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “should,” “is likely,” “will,” “going forward,” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, operational, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond FHN’s control, and many of which, with respect to future business decisions and actions (including acquisitions and divestitures), are subject to change. Examples of uncertainties and contingencies include, among

other important factors: global, general and local economic and business conditions, including economic recession or depression; the stability or volatility of values and activity in the residential housing and commercial real estate markets; potential requirements for FHN to repurchase, or compensate for losses from, previously sold or securitized mortgages or securities based on such mortgages; potential claims alleging mortgage servicing failures, individually, on a class basis, or as master servicer of securitized loans; potential claims relating to participation in government programs, especially lending or other financial services programs; expectations of and actual timing and amount of interest rate movements, including the slope and shape of the yield curve, which can have a significant impact on a financial services institution; market and monetary fluctuations, including fluctuations in mortgage markets; inflation or deflation; customer, investor, competitor, regulatory, and legislative responses to any or all of these conditions; the financial condition of borrowers and other counterparties; competition within and outside the financial services industry; geopolitical developments including possible terrorist activity; natural disasters; effectiveness and cost-efficiency of FHN’s hedging practices; technological changes; fraud, theft, or other incursions through conventional, electronic, or other means affecting FHN directly or affecting its customers, business counterparties or competitors; demand for FHN’s product offerings; new products and services in the industries in which FHN operates; the increasing use of new technologies to interact with customers and others; and critical accounting estimates. Other factors are those inherent in originating, selling, servicing, and holding loans and loan-based assets, including prepayment risks, pricing concessions, fluctuation in U.S. housing and other real estate prices, fluctuation of collateral values, and changes in customer profiles. Additionally, the actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve” or “Fed”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”), the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“Council”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), and other regulators and agencies; pending, threatened, or possible future regulatory, administrative, and judicial outcomes, actions, and proceedings; current or future Executive orders; changes in laws and regulations applicable to FHN; and FHN’s success in executing its business plans and strategies and managing the risks involved in the foregoing, could cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially, from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

FHN assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made in this Annual Report to Shareholders for the period ended December 31, 2016 of which this MD&A is a part or otherwise from time to time. Actual results could differ and expectations could change, possibly materially, because of one or more factors, including those presented in this Forward-Looking Statements section, in other sections of this MD&A, in other parts of the Annual Report, in the annual report on Form 10-K to which the Annual Report is an exhibit, in other exhibits to the Form 10-K, and in the documents incorporated into the Form 10-K.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY – 2016 COMPARED TO 2015

FHN reported net income available to common shareholders of $220.8 million or $.94 per diluted share in 2016 compared to $79.7 million or $.34 per diluted share in 2015. The increase in net income available to common shareholders in 2016 was due to improvements in both revenues and expenses. Various factors significantly impacted reported earnings including strategic transactions and initiatives expected to boost growth and profitability occurring in both 2016 and 2015, the completion of transactions associated with the wind-down of legacy businesses, the resolution of certain legal matters, and the economic environment.

2016 was a solid year for FHN with double-digit loan and deposit growth, higher revenue, expense discipline, and strong credit quality. FHN continued to see strong loan growth across many of our loan portfolios in the regional bank in 2016. Additionally, newer lines of business including franchise finance, energy lending, and specialty healthcare also contributed to loan growth within the regional banking segment in 2016, more than offsetting run-off of the higher-risk non-strategic loan balances. The company continued to focus on its core businesses through strategic hires, expansion into specialty businesses and growth markets, and investments in technology. While these investments led to higher expenses in some areas in 2016, expense control remained a priority, as management looked for opportunities to deploy capital in ways that drove higher returns.

Although the economy modestly expanded in 2016 and customer optimism began to increase, certain operating environments for the industry remained somewhat challenging. Despite those headwinds, FHN’s focused efforts yielded strong balance sheet growth within our Tennessee footprint and higher-return specialty businesses with continued investment in new markets and businesses, resulting in a 10 percent increase in average loans and an 11 percent increase in average deposits in 2016 compared to the prior year. Although, historically low interest rates continue to pressure FHN’s net interest margin (“NIM”) and net interest income (“NII”), the expansion of FHN’s balance sheet, coupled with a modest lift from the December 2015 rate increase led to a $75.4 million increase in NII in 2016 and NIM improvement of 11 basis points to 2.94 percent in 2016.

FHN’s fixed income business performed well in 2016, with total revenue growth of 13 percent compared to expense growth of 4 percent. Average fixed income product daily revenues increased to $.9 million in 2016 from $.8 million in 2015. Expenses within the fixed income segment were higher in 2016, primarily due to higher variable compensation costs, but this increase was somewhat mitigated by a decline in litigation charges related to the settlement of a legal matter recognized in 2015. In fourth quarter 2016, FHN entered into an agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of Coastal Securities, Inc. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017, and should provide additional growth opportunities for the fixed income segment.

During 2016, FHN benefited from several transactions related to the wind-down of legacy businesses, including a $32.7 million favorable mortgage repurchase reserve release associated with the settlements and recoveries of certain repurchase claims. Additionally, FHN recognized gains related to recoveries associated with prior legacy mortgage servicing sales and the reversal of a contingency accrual associated with prior sales of MSR.

In 2016, FHN settled several legal matters, resulting in the recognition of $30.5 million in accruals related to loss contingencies and litigation matters, and elevated legal expenses relative to 2015. In 2015, FHN incurred significant costs associated with legal settlements, including a settlement with two federal agencies, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General (“HUD”), to settle potential claims related to FHN’s underwriting and origination of FHA-insured mortgage loans resulting in a $162.5 million charge to litigation and regulatory matters. In addition, FHN settled or moved forward with certain other legal matters contributing to higher litigation-related loss accruals in 2015 relative to 2016.

In 2016, FHN leveraged opportunities to smartly deploy capital via the acquisition of the franchise finance portfolio, share repurchases, and dividend payouts. FHN looks for opportunities in the valuation of FHN stock, which in 2016 led to the repurchase of $93.5 million of shares primarily in the first half of the year compared to $28.4 million of shares repurchased in 2015. Additionally, for the second year in a row, quarterly dividends increased $.01 per share, from $.06 per share in 2015 to $.07 per share in 2016, and FHN recently announced a 29 percent increase in quarterly dividends in 2017 to $.09 per share. While capital ratios decreased in 2016 relative to 2015, primarily due to increases in risk-weighted assets associated with the balance sheet expansion, overall FHN’s capital ratios remain strong, significantly above well capitalized standards.

Asset quality trends were again strong in 2016. Net charge-offs and nonperforming assets declined 39 percent and 22 percent, respectively, year-over-year, reflecting historically strong credit quality in 2016. The allowance for loan losses continued to decline, but at a slower pace, decreasing 4 percent in 2016 as a result of commercial loan growth which partially offset the positive impact of improving asset quality metrics on the allowance for loan losses and runoff of non-strategic balances.

Return on average common equity (“ROE”) and ROTCE for 2016 were 9.60 percent and 10.59 percent, respectively, compared to 3.64 percent and 3.97 percent in 2015. Return on average assets (“ROA”) was .87 percent in 2016 compared to .38 percent in 2015. The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.42 percent in 2016 compared to 7.82 percent in 2015. Common equity tier 1, Tier 1, Total capital, and Leverage ratios were 9.94 percent, 11.17 percent, 12.24 percent, and 9.35 percent on December 31, 2016, compared to 10.45 percent, 11.79 percent, 13.01 percent, and 9.85 percent, respectively, on December 31, 2015. Total period-end assets were $28.6 billion on December 31, 2016, a 9 percent increase from $26.2 billion on December 31, 2015. Total period-end equity was $2.7 billion on December 31, 2016, up from $2.6 billion on December 31, 2015.

BUSINESS LINE REVIEW – 2016 COMPARED TO 2015

Regional Banking

Pre-tax income within the regional banking segment increased 9 percent to $336.5 million in 2016 from $309.6 million in 2015. The increase in pre-tax income was driven by higher net interest income which more than offset increases in expenses and loan loss provisioning.

Total revenue increased 9 percent, or $84.1 million, to $990.9 million in 2016, from $906.8 million in 2015, primarily driven by an increase in NII. The increase in NII was largely due to higher average balances of commercial loans and a higher earnings credit on deposits. Noninterest income was $249.0 million in 2016, down 1 percent from 2015 driven by a decline in fees from deposit transactions and cash management and lower brokerage, management fees, and commission income from the Bank’s wealth management group. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in bankcard income, higher fee income associated with derivative sales, and a $1.2 million increase in gains on the sale of properties compared to a year ago. The decrease in fees from deposit transactions and cash management was primarily due to lower non-sufficient funds (“NSF”)/overdraft fees in the current year as a result of changes in consumer behavior. The decline in brokerage, management fees, and commission income was primarily driven by a reduction in annuity income as a result of market conditions and lower variable annuity sales as practices were adjusted to meet the standards of a changing regulatory environment. Additionally, a shift in product and fee structures caused a temporary decline in revenues but better met client needs and should result in revenue streams over the life of the product. Bankcard income increased in 2016, relative to the prior year, largely driven by a significant new relationship.

Provision expense was $38.9 million in 2016 compared to $34.5 million in 2015. The net increase in provision in 2016 compared to the prior year was primarily driven by increased reserves related to loan growth within the commercial portfolio partially offset by a decrease in the consumer real estate portfolio which was favorably affected by improved portfolio performance and historically low net charge-offs which continued to drive lower loss rates.

Noninterest expense increased 9 percent to $615.5 million in 2016 from $562.6 million in 2015. The expense increase was largely driven by an increase in personnel-related expenses relative to 2015 and a $20.4 million increase in accruals related to loss contingencies and litigation matters. A majority of the litigation accrual relates to a matter that was settled in third quarter 2016. Expenses associated with strategic hires in expansion markets and specialty areas increased $9.6 million from 2015 to 2016. Additionally, higher incentive expense associated with loan growth and retention initiatives increased $4.5 million relative to 2015 and a year-over-year increase in headcount related to the TAB acquisition contributed $3.9 million to the increase in personnel expense within the regional bank in 2016. To a smaller extent, FHN recognized a $4.2 million net increase in fixed asset impairments and lease abandonment charges related to branch closures in 2016 relative to 2015 and higher FDIC premium expense relative to 2015 due in large part to balance sheet growth. Additionally, investments in the new digital banking platform led to higher computer software and operations services expense in 2016 relative to 2015, however, these increases were somewhat offset by decreases in legal, advertising, contract employment, and the provision for unfunded commitments in 2016 relative to the prior year.

Fixed Income

Pre-tax income in the fixed income segment was $50.2 million in 2016 compared to $26.4 million in 2015. The increase in pre-tax income was the result of higher revenues, which more than offset an increase in expenses. Fixed income product revenue increased to $229.7 million in 2016 from $195.9 million in 2015, with average daily revenue (“ADR”) increasing from $.8 million in 2015 to $.9 million in 2016. The increase in fixed income product revenue was driven by more favorable market conditions during most of 2016, including increased rate and market volatility as well as expansion of the distribution platform. However, trading activity was somewhat muted in late 2016 due to a sharp rate increase and market uncertainties following the U.S. presidential election. Other product revenue increased 12 percent to $39.7 million during 2016, primarily driven by increases in fees from loan and derivative sales and portfolio advisory services.

Noninterest expense was $229.9 million in 2016 compared to $220.4 million in 2015. The increase in expense in 2016 was largely the result of higher variable compensation associated with the increase in fixed income product

revenue, but was somewhat offset by a decline in litigation expense, as 2015 included $11.6 million related to the settlement of a legal matter.

Corporate

The pre-tax loss for the corporate segment was $104.4 million and $106.3 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Net interest expense decreased $5.8 million to $65.9 million in 2016 from $71.7 million in 2015, driven by a decrease in average term borrowings outstanding and a larger AFS securities portfolio. Noninterest income (including securities gain/losses) was $20.4 million in 2016, down from $23.3 million in 2015. The decrease in noninterest income was driven by a $5.8 million gain on the extinguishment of junior subordinated notes underlying $200 million of trust preferred debt recognized in 2015, the impact of which was somewhat offset by an increase in deferred compensation income in 2016 versus 2015. Deferred compensation income fluctuates with changes in the market value of the underlying investments and is mirrored by changes in deferred compensation expense which is included in personnel expense.

Noninterest expense increased to $58.9 million in 2016 from $57.9 million in 2015. The increase in noninterest expense was partially driven by higher personnel-related expenses due in large part to an increase in deferred compensation expense, which is directionally consistent with the increase in deferred compensation income described above. A promotional branding campaign and higher expenses associated with Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) initiatives led to an increase in advertising and public relations expense, which also contributed to the expense increase in 2016 relative to the prior year. Additionally, a $1.9 million net increase in negative valuation adjustments associated with derivatives related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares contributed to the expense increase in 2016. These increases were somewhat mitigated by a $3.3 million decline in acquisition-related expenses relative to 2015 and lower professional fees in 2016. In 2015, FHN recognized a $2.8 million impairment of a tax credit investment which also offset a portion of the expense increase in 2016.

Non-Strategic

The non-strategic segment had pre-tax income of $63.0 million in 2016 compared to a pre-tax loss of $121.5 million in 2015. A significant decline in expenses contributed to the year-over-year improved results and more than offset a decline in NII.

Total revenue was $56.0 million in 2016 down from $65.8 million in 2015. NII declined 23 percent to $42.4 million in 2016 from $54.7 million in the prior year, consistent with the run-off of the non-strategic loan portfolios. Noninterest income (including securities gains/losses) increased 23 percent from $11.1 million in 2015 to $13.7 million in 2016. The increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by an increase in mortgage banking income, partially offset by a $2.7 million gain on the sale of a building recognized in 2015. The increase in mortgage banking income was largely driven by recoveries recognized in 2016 associated with prior legacy mortgage servicing sales and a $1.5 million gain related to the reversal of a contingency accrual associated with prior sales of MSR, as well as an increase in the mortgage warehouse valuation.

The provision for loan losses within the non-strategic segment was a provision credit of $27.9 million in 2016 compared to a provision credit of $25.5 million in the prior year. Overall, the non-strategic segment continued to reflect stable performance combined with lower loan balances as reserves declined by $24.7 million to $48.0 million as of December 31, 2016, nearly all of which was in the consumer real estate portfolio. Losses remain historically low as the non-strategic segment had net recoveries in 2016 versus net charge-offs a year ago.

Noninterest expense was $20.9 million in 2016 compared to $212.8 million in 2015. The decline in noninterest expense was primarily due to $162.5 million of loss accruals recognized in 2015 associated with the settlement reached with DOJ/HUD. Additionally, $32.7 million of mortgage repurchase and foreclosure expenses were reversed in 2016 primarily due to the settlements/recoveries of certain repurchase claims; however, the favorable impact on expense was partially offset by an increase in legal fees in 2016 relative to 2015 and an increase in occupancy expense associated with the reduction in sublease income because of the building sale in 2015 previously mentioned. Generally, most other expense categories declined given the continued wind-down of the legacy businesses.

INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW – 2016 COMPARED TO 2015; 2015 COMPARED TO 2014

Total consolidated revenue increased to $1.3 billion in 2016 from $1.2 billion in 2015, largely driven by increases in net interest income and fixed income product revenue. Total expenses decreased 12 percent to $925.2 million in 2016 from $1.1 billion in 2015. The expense decrease was primarily driven by a decline in accruals related to loss contingencies and litigation matters and the mortgage repurchase provision expense reversal in 2016 previously mentioned, somewhat offset by higher personnel expenses.

In 2015 and 2014, total consolidated revenue was $1.2 billion, as increases in fixed income product revenue, net interest income, and gains on the extinguishment of debt offset a decline in mortgage banking income in 2015 relative to 2014. Total expenses increased 27 percent to $1.1 billion in 2015 from $832.5 million in 2014 primarily driven by higher net accruals related to loss contingencies and litigation matters and to a lesser extent an increase in personnel expenses compared to 2014.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased 12 percent to $729.1 million in 2016 from $653.7 million in 2015. On a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, NII increased 11 percent to $740.7 million in 2016 from $664.4 million in 2015. As detailed in Table 1 – Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income, the increase in NII was the result of loan growth within Regional Banking, the positive impact of higher interest rates on loans, lower long-term funding costs due to lower average balances, and a larger investment securities portfolio. These increases were partially offset by the continued run-off the non-strategic loan portfolios, the negative impact of higher market rates on deposits, lower average balances of trading securities, and a decrease in cash basis interest income in 2016 relative to the prior year. Average earning assets were $25.2 billion and $23.5 billion in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The 7 percent increase in average earning assets in 2016 was primarily driven by loan growth within the regional bank, but was also impacted by a larger securities portfolio and an increase in securities purchased under agreements to resell. These increases were somewhat offset by continued run-off of the non-strategic loan portfolios, a decrease in average balances of excess cash held at the Federal Reserve (“Fed”), and a decline in average fixed income trading securities.

Net interest income was $653.7 million in 2015, a 4 percent increase from $627.7 million in 2014. On an FTE basis, NII increased to $664.4 million in 2015 from $637.3 million in 2014. The increase was the result of loan growth within the regional bank’s commercial and consumer portfolios, higher average balances of loans to mortgage companies, and an increase in cash basis interest income and loan fees relative to 2014. Continued run-off of the non-strategic loan portfolios, lower yielding fixed rate commercial loans, and the impact on NII from the third quarter 2014 loan sales negatively impacted NII in 2015, offsetting a portion of the increase.

For purposes of computing yields and the net interest margin, FHN adjusts net interest income to reflect tax exempt income on an equivalent pre-tax basis which provides comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The consolidated net interest margin improved to 2.94 percent in 2016 from 2.83 percent in 2015. The net interest spread increased to 2.80 percent in 2016 from 2.70 percent in 2015, and the impact of free funding was 14 basis points and 13 basis points in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The positive impact of higher interest rates on loans, lower long-term funding costs, a decrease in average excess cash held at the Fed and higher average balances of loans to mortgage companies during 2016 all contributed to the increase in NIM, but were somewhat mitigated by the continued run-off of the nonstrategic loan portfolios, the negative impact of higher market rates on deposits, and a decrease in cash basis interest income relative to 2015.

The consolidated net interest margin was 2.83 percent in 2015 compared to 2.92 percent in 2014. The decrease in NIM was primarily driven by run-off of the non-strategic loan portfolios, a decline in yields on fixed rate loan portfolios due to the long-term low internet rate environment, and an increase in average excess cash held at the Fed during 2015. Higher cash basis interest income and loan fees relative to 2014 positively impacted NIM in 2015, offsetting a portion of the decline.

The activity levels and related funding for FHN’s fixed income activities affect the net interest margin. Generally fixed income activities compress the margin, especially where there are elevated levels of trading inventory, because of the strategy to reduce market risk by economically hedging a portion of its inventory on the balance

FHN’s net interest margin is primarily impacted by balance sheet factors such as interest-bearing cash levels, deposit balances, trading inventory levels, commercial loan volume, as well as loan fees, cash basis income, and changes in short-term interest rates. FHN’s balance sheet is positioned to benefit primarily from a rise in short-term interest rates. For 2017, an increase in NIM will depend on the extent of Fed interest rate increases, as well as levels of interest-bearing cash and trading inventory balances (higher balances of both of these typically compress margin), and commercial loan balances.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings that management determines to be necessary to maintain the ALLL at a sufficient level reflecting management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $11.0 million in 2016 compared to $9.0 million in 2015 and $27.0 million in 2014. During 2016 and 2015, FHN experienced continued overall improvement in the loan portfolio which resulted in declines of 4 percent and 10 percent in the allowance for loan losses relative to the prior years, respectively. Additionally, net charge-offs declined 39 percent and 35 percent, respectively, during 2016 and 2015 relative to the prior years. Although asset quality metrics were strong in both periods, improvement continued to slow in 2016 and the commercial loan growth partially offset the positive effect of improvement on the allowance. For additional information about the provision for loan losses refer to the Regional Banking and Non-Strategic sections of the Business Line Review section in this MD&A. For additional information about general asset quality trends refer to Asset Quality – Trend Analysis of 2016 Compared to 2015 in this MD&A.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income (including securities gains/(losses)) was $552.4 million in 2016 compared to $517.3 million in 2015 and $550.0 million in 2014. In 2016 noninterest income was 43 percent of total revenue compared to 44 percent and 47 percent in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in noninterest income in 2016 relative to 2015 was primarily driven by higher fixed income product revenue. The decrease in noninterest income in 2015 relative to 2014 was primarily driven by a decrease in mortgage banking income within the non-strategic segment, but was partially mitigated by increases in fixed income product revenue and gains on the extinguishment of debt. FHN’s noninterest income for the last three years is provided in Table 3. The following discussion provides additional information about various line items reported in the following table.

Fixed Income Noninterest Income

The major component of fixed income revenue is generated from the purchase and sale of fixed income securities as both principal and agent. Other noninterest revenues within this line item consist principally of fees from loan sales, portfolio advisory services, and derivative sales. Securities inventory positions are procured for distribution to customers by the sales staff. Fixed income noninterest income increased 16 percent in 2016 to $268.6 million from $231.3 million in 2015, reflecting more favorable market conditions during most of 2016, including increased rate and market volatility, as well as expansion of the distribution platform. However, trading activity was somewhat muted in late 2016 due to a sharp rate increase and market uncertainties following the U.S. presidential election. Revenue from other products increased $3.4 million to $38.9 million in 2016, largely driven by increases in fees from loan sales, derivative sales, and portfolio advisory services.

Fixed income noninterest income was $231.3 million in 2015, up from $200.6 million in 2014, reflecting increased rate volatility in 2015 relative to 2014. Revenue from other products increased $5.2 million to $35.5 million in 2015, largely driven by increases in fees from derivative sales and portfolio advisory services.

Deposit Transactions and Cash Management

Fees from deposit transactions and cash management include fees for services related to consumer and commercial deposit products (such as service charges on checking accounts), cash management products and services such as electronic transaction processing (Automated Clearing House an Electronic Data Interchange), account reconciliation services, cash vault services, lockbox processing, and information reporting to large corporate clients. Deposit transactions and cash management income was $108.6 million in 2016, down from $112.8 million in 2015. The decrease in fees from deposit transactions and cash management activities was primarily related to lower NSF fee income driven by changes in consumer behavior. In 2015, deposit transactions and cash management income increased to $112.8 million from $112.0 million in 2014.

Brokerage, Management Fees and Commissions

Brokerage, management fees and commissions include fees for portfolio management, trade commissions, and annuity and mutual funds sales. Noninterest income from brokerage, management fees and commissions was $42.9 million in 2016, down from $46.5 million and $49.1 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decline in income in both periods was primarily driven by a reduction in annuity income as a result of market conditions and lower variable annuity sales as practices were adjusted to meet the standards of a changing regulatory environment. The decline in both periods was also affected by a shift in product and fee structures, which caused a temporary decline in revenues but better met client needs and should result in revenue streams over the life of the product.

Bankcard Income

Bankcard income is derived from fees charged for processing and supporting credit card transactions including interchange, late charges, membership fees, miscellaneous merchant frees, cash advance fees, currency conversion fees, and research fees. Bankcard income increased 10 percent to $24.4 million in 2016 from $22.2 million in 2015 primarily driven by a significant new relationship. Bankcard income declined 6 percent in 2015 to $22.2 million from $23.7 million in 2014, due in large part to $2.8 million of Visa volume incentives recognized in 2014.

Securities Gains/(Losses)

In 2016 FHN recognized net securities gains of $1.3 million compared to $1.4 million and $2.9 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The 2016 net gain was primarily the result of a $1.5 million net gain from exchanges of approximately $736 million of AFS debt securities, partially offset by $.2 million of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) adjustments. The 2015 net gain was largely driven by a $1.8 million gain from an exchange of approximately $335 million of AFS debt securities, partially offset by $.7 million of OTTI adjustments. In 2014, the net gain was primarily the result of a $5.6 million gain on the sale of a cost method investment partially offset by $2.0 million of negative fair value adjustments and a $.9 million loss on the sale of an investment.

Other Noninterest Income

Other income includes revenues from ATM and interchange fees, other service charges, mortgage banking (primarily within the non-strategic segment), electronic banking fees, letter of credit fees, revenue related to deferred compensation plans (which are mirrored by changes in noninterest expense), insurance commissions, gains/(losses) from the extinguishment of debt and various other fees.

Revenue from all other income and commissions increased to $64.2 million in 2016 from $60.7 million in 2015. For 2016 all other income and commissions was favorably impacted by increases in mortgage banking and deferred compensation income, and higher fee income associated with derivative sales. These increases were somewhat offset by a $5.8 million gain recognized in 2015 on the extinguishment of junior subordinated notes underlying $200 million of trust preferred debt and a $1.3 million decrease in 2016 in gains on the sales of properties. The increase in Mortgage banking income was largely driven by recoveries recognized in 2016 associated with prior legacy mortgage servicing sales and a $1.5 million gain related to the reversal of a contingency accrual associated with prior sales of MSR. Deferred compensation income fluctuates with changes in the market value of the underlying investments and is mirrored by changes in deferred compensation expense which is included in personnel expense.

All other income and commissions decreased $56.9 million to $60.7 million in 2015 from $117.7 million in 2014. The decrease was primarily driven by lower mortgage banking income which was largely the result of several transactions recognized in 2014 that positively impacted mortgage banking income within the non-strategic segment in that year. These transactions included $39.7 million of gains on the sales of approximately $315 million in UPB of HFS mortgage loans in third quarter 2014, the receipt of approximately $20 million in previously unrecognized servicing fees in conjunction with servicing sales, and a larger positive mortgage warehouse valuation adjustment in 2014 due to positive fair value adjustment that reflected new information on market pricing for similar asset primarily related to the non-performing portion of the HFS portfolio. A $3.4 million decrease in deferred compensation income in 2015 also contributed to the revenue decrease in 2015, but was somewhat offset by the $5.8 million gain recognized within the corporate segment in 2015 on the extinguishment of junior subordinated notes previously mentioned and a $4.4 million loss recognized within the non-strategic segment in 2014 on the extinguishment of debt associated with the collapse of two HELOC securitization trusts. In addition, FHN recognized $3.7 million in gains on the sales of properties primarily within the non-strategic segment in 2015 compared to $.6 million in 2014, which also mitigated a portion of the decline in revenue from all other income and commissions.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expense decreased 12 percent, or $128.6 million, to $925.2 million in 2016, primarily driven by a reduction in accruals related to loss contingencies and litigation matters primarily within the non-strategic segment and, to a lesser extent, a mortgage repurchase and foreclosure provision expense reversal, somewhat offset by higher personnel expenses relative to 2015. Total noninterest expense increased 27 percent, or $221.3 million, to $1.1 billion in 2015 from $832.5 million in 2014, primarily driven by increases in accruals related to loss contingencies and litigation matters coupled with an increase in personnel expenses relative to 2014. FHN’s noninterest expense for the last three years is provided in table 5. The following discussion provides additional information about various line items reported in the following table.

Employee Compensation, Incentives, and Benefits

Employee compensation, incentives, and benefits (personnel expense), the largest component of noninterest expense, increased 10 percent, or $51.3 million, to $562.9 million in 2016 from $511.6 million in 2015. The increase in personnel expense was driven in part by an increase in variable compensation associated with higher fixed income product sales revenue within FHN’s fixed income operating segment relative to 2015. Within the regional bank, expenses associated with strategic hires in expansion markets and specialty areas increased $9.6 million from 2015 to 2016. Additionally, higher incentive expense associated with loan growth and retention initiatives increased $4.5 million relative to 2015 and a year-over-year increase in headcount related to the TAB acquisition contributed $3.9 million to the increase in personnel expense within the regional bank in 2016. Personnel expenses in 2015 were favorably impacted by an $8.3 million gain related to an amendment of certain employee benefit plans recognized in third quarter 2015, which also contributed to the increase in personnel-related expenses in 2016. Deferred compensation expense increased in 2016, relative to 2015, further contributing to the personnel expense increase in 2016. These increases were partially offset by a decline in pension expense relative to 2015 due to a change in the discount rates used in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs.

Personnel expense increased 7 percent, or $33.5 million, to $511.6 million in 2015 from $478.2 million in 2014. The increase in personnel expense was driven by increases in variable compensation associated with higher fixed income product sales revenue within FHN’s fixed income operating segment relative to 2014 and higher incentive expense associated with loan growth, strategic hires, and retention within the regional bank. Additionally, higher pension-related costs contributed to the increase in personnel expense during 2015, as well as several favorable adjustments recognized during 2014 related to employee performance equity awards, employee benefit plans, and deferred compensation BOLI benefits resulting in lower personnel expense in 2014. The increase in pension-related

15

expenses was driven by an increase in the pension liability as a result of a decline in the discount rate and new life expectancy tables used at the December 31, 2014 measurement date. These increases were offset somewhat by an $8.3 million gain recognized during third quarter 2015 related to an amendment of certain employee benefit plans and lower deferred compensation expenses relative to 2014.

Occupancy

Occupancy expense decreased to $50.9 million in 2016 from $51.1 million in 2015, as a decrease in sublease income related to the sale of a building in 2015 was somewhat offset by $.9 million of lease abandonment expense related to efficiency initiatives and higher rent expense in 2016 associated with sale-leaseback transactions recognized in 2016. Occupancy expense decreased $2.9 million from $54.0 million in 2014 to $51.1 million in 2015 driven by $4.7 million of lease abandonment expense recognized in 2014 related to efficiency initiatives, somewhat offset by lower sublease income received in 2015 relative to the prior year as a result of the building sale within the non-strategic segment previously mentioned.

Computer Software

Computer software expense was $45.1 million, $44.7 million, and $42.9 million in 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The increase in computer software expense is the result of FHN’s focus on technology-related projects.

Operations Services

Operations services expense increased 7 percent, or $2.6 million, to $41.9 million in 2016, primarily related to an increase in third party fees associated with the online digital banking platform. In 2015, expenses from operations services were $39.3 million compared to $35.2 million in 2014, primarily driven by an increase in third party fees and expense associated with the TAB acquisition.

Equipment Rentals, Depreciation, and Maintenance

Equipment rentals, depreciation, and maintenance expenses were $27.4 million in 2016, compared to $30.9 million and $30.0 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in 2016 was driven by a decrease in depreciation expense as a result of branch sales and sale-leaseback transactions and refunds from an equipment rental vendor recognized in 2016.

Advertising and Public Relations

Expenses associated with advertising and public relations were $21.6 million in 2016, compared to $19.2 million and $18.7 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. In 2016, FHN recognized higher advertising and public relations expense due in large part to a promotional branding campaign and an increase in CRA initiatives.

FDIC Premium Expense

FDIC premium expense was $21.6 million in 2016, compared to $18.0 million and $11.5 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in FDIC premium expense was due in large part to balance sheet growth, coupled with the run-off of long-term unsecured debt. Additionally, a rate increase also contributed to the increase in FDIC premium expense. 2014 FDIC premium expense included the receipt of $3.3 million of FDIC premium refunds.

Legal Fees

Legal fees were $21.6 million, $16.3 million, and $20.9 million in 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Legal fees fluctuate based on the status, timing, type, and composition of cases.

16

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Professional Fees

Professional fees were $19.2 million, $18.9 million, and $23.3 million in 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. During 2014, FHN had various consulting projects that attributed to higher professional fees.

Contract Employment and Outsourcing

Expenses associated with contract employment and outsourcing decreased 31 percent, or $4.4 million, to $10.1 million in 2016. The decrease was attributable to a lower number of technology-related projects in 2016 relative to the prior year coupled with the completion of a large operations efficiency project in 2015. Contract employment and outsourcing expenses decreased $4.9 million to $14.5 million in 2015 from $19.4 million in 2014. The decrease was due to lower mortgage subservicing costs within the non-strategic segment associated with the sales of servicing and elevated expenses in 2014 related to technology-related projects within the regional bank.

Repurchase and Foreclosure Provision

During 2016, FHN recognized a $32.7 million pre-tax expense reversal of mortgage repurchase and foreclosure provision primarily as a result of the settlement/recoveries of certain repurchase claims, which favorably impacted expenses for 2016. The mortgage repurchase and foreclosure provision was $0 in 2015. During 2014 FHN recognized a $4.3 million reversal of repurchase and foreclosure provision related to the settlements of certain repurchase claims.

Other Noninterest Expense

Other expense includes losses from litigation and regulatory matters, other insurance and tax expense, travel and entertainment expenses, customer relation expenses, costs associated with employee training and dues, supplies, tax credit investment expenses, miscellaneous loan costs, expenses associated with foreclosed properties, and various other expenses.

All other expenses decreased 57 percent to $116.3 million in 2016 from $268.2 million in 2015. The decrease in expense between 2016 and 2015 was primarily driven by a $157.1 million net decline in accruals related to loss contingencies and litigation matters, from $187.6 million in 2015 to $30.5 million in 2016. The decrease in accruals related to loss contingencies and litigation matters was largely associated with the 2015 DOJ/HUD settlement of potential claims related to FHN’s underwriting and origination of FHA-insured mortgage loans within the non-strategic segment. To a much smaller extent, a decline in other insurance and taxes in 2016 associated with favorable adjustments to franchise taxes related to community reinvestment efforts, and a $1.2 million decrease in tax credit investments due in large part to a $2.8 million impairment recognized in 2015 also contributed to the 2016 expense decline. FHN recognized a $3.9 million net increase in fixed asset impairments and lease abandonment charges related to branch closures in 2016 relative to 2015, offsetting a portion of the expense decline. Additionally, a $1.9 million net increase in negative valuation adjustments associated with derivatives related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares resulted in higher expenses in 2016.

All other expenses were $268.2 million and $82.5 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in expense between 2015 and 2014 was primarily the result of a $190.3 million increase in net loss accruals related to legal matters, primarily driven by $162.5 million of loss accruals related to the 2015 DOJ/HUD settlement within the non-strategic segment previously mentioned and $25.1 million of other loss accruals recognized within the non-strategic and fixed income segments in 2015. During 2014, FHN recognized $110.9 million of loss accruals primarily within the non-strategic segment related to legal matters, which were more than offset by $113.6 million of expense reversals recognized within the non-strategic and fixed income segments associated with agreements with insurance companies for the recovery of expenses FHN incurred related to litigation losses in periods prior to 2014. In 2015, FHN recognized a $2.8 million impairment of a tax credit investment, which contributed to the expense increase. These increases in expense were somewhat offset by a $5.1 million decrease in negative valuation adjustments associated with the derivatives related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares.

INCOME TAXES

FHN recorded an income tax provision of $106.8 million in 2016, compared to $10.9 million in 2015 and $84.2 million in 2014. The effective tax rates for 2016, 2015, and 2014 were approximately 31 percent, 10 percent, and 26 percent, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rates in 2016 compared to 2015 and the decrease in the effective tax rate in 2015 compared to 2014 was primarily driven by the change in pre-tax income levels. Since pre-tax income is the most important component in determining the effective tax rate, the comparison of the tax rate from period to period, by itself, will not provide meaningful information unless pre-tax income is fairly consistent. The company’s effective tax rate is favorably affected by recurring items such as bank-owned life insurance, tax-exempt income, and credits and other tax benefits from affordable housing investments. The company’s effective tax rate also may be affected by items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period to period, such as changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and changes in unrecognized tax benefits.

A deferred tax asset (“DTA”) or deferred tax liability (“DTL”) is recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax consequence is calculated by applying enacted statutory tax rates, applicable to future years, to these temporary differences. As of December 31, 2016, FHN’s gross DTA (net of a valuation allowance) and gross DTL were $297.0 million and $97.4 million, respectively, resulting in a net DTA of $199.6 million at December 31, 2016, compared with $259.3 million at December 31, 2015 and $260.6 million at December 31, 2014. The decline in DTA in 2016 relative to 2015 was primarily driven by increased funding of FHN’s pension plan, a reduction in loss reserves, and deductions associated with certain compensation arrangements.

As of December 31, 2016, FHN had deferred tax asset balances related to federal and state income tax carryforwards of $124.7 million and $19.4 million, which will expire at various dates. Refer to Note 15 – Income Taxes for additional information.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, FHN established a valuation allowance of $40.4 million and $40.5 million, respectively, against its federal capital loss carryforwards. FHN’s DTA after valuation allowance was $297.0 million and $352.6 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on current analysis, FHN believes that its ability to realize the remaining DTA is more likely than not. FHN monitors its DTA and the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. A significant adverse change in FHN’s taxable earnings outlook could result in the need for further valuation allowances. In the event FHN is able to determine that the deferred tax assets are realizable in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, FHN would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The President of the United States has publicly favored legislation (not yet formally proposed) to reduce corporate income tax rates to 15 to 20 percent, possibly in 2017. Any such rate reduction is likely to be part of a broader tax reform bill. Although a rate reduction would have a net beneficial effect over the long-term certain deductions may be eliminated or reduced as a part of tax reform, which could partially offset the beneficial effect of a rate reduction. Additionally, a rate reduction would result in the impairment of a portion of the deferred tax asset, as mentioned above, in the quarter that it is signed into law by the President. The actual impacts are subject to significant uncertainties including whether, and to what extent, rate reductions or broader tax reform can actually be executed and if executed, the timing.

FHN and its eligible subsidiaries are included in a consolidated federal income tax return. FHN files separate returns for subsidiaries that are not eligible to be included in a consolidated federal income tax return. Based on the laws of the applicable states where it conducts business operations, FHN either files consolidated, combined, or separate returns. With few exceptions, FHN is no longer subject to federal or state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013. FHN is currently under audit in several states.

STATEMENT OF CONDITION REVIEW – 2016 COMPARED TO 2015

Total period-end assets were $28.6 billion on December 31, 2016, up 9 percent from $26.2 billion on December 31, 2015. Average assets increased to $27.4 billion in 2016 from $25.6 billion in 2015. The increase in average assets compared to 2015 is primarily attributable to net increases in the loan portfolios. A larger investment securities portfolio also contributed to the increase in average assets relative to 2015, but was somewhat offset by declines in interest-bearing cash and trading securities. The increase in period-end assets relative to December 31, 2015 was also primarily driven by net increases in loan balances. In addition, higher balances of interest bearing cash on December 31, 2016 contributed to the increase in assets on a period-end basis.

Total period-end liabilities were $25.9 billion on December 31, 2016, up 10 percent from $23.6 billion on December 31, 2015. Average liabilities increased 7 percent to $24.7 billion in 2016, from $23.1 billion in 2015. The increase in average liabilities was largely due to an increase in deposits, somewhat offset by lower Term borrowings and a decline in Federal funds purchased relative to 2015.

EARNING ASSETS

Earning assets consist of loans, investment securities, other earning assets such as trading securities, interest-bearing cash, and loans HFS. Average earning assets increased to $25.2 billion in 2016 from $23.5 billion in 2015. A more detailed discussion of the major line items follows.

Loans

Period-end loans increased 11 percent to $19.6 billion as of December 31, 2016 from $17.7 billion on December 31, 2015. Average loans for 2016 were $18.3 billion compared to $16.6 billion for 2015. The increase in average and period-end loan balances was primarily due to organic loan growth within the regional bank’s commercial portfolios and also loans added through the purchase of franchise finance loans in third quarter 2016, partially offset by run-off of consumer loan portfolios within the non-strategic segment. On an average basis loans added through the fourth quarter 2015 TAB acquisition also contributed to the increase in average loans from 2015 to 2016.

  2016, 2015, and 2014 include $43.4 million, $65.6 million, and $140.7 million of restricted and secured real estate loans, respectively.

C&I loans are the largest component of the commercial portfolio comprising 85 percent and 87 percent of average commercial loans in 2016 and 2015, respectively. C&I loans increased 15 percent, or $1.5 billion, from 2015 due to higher balances of loans to mortgage companies, as well as net loan growth within several of the regional bank’s

portfolios including general commercial, correspondent banking, and corporate. Additionally, new lines of business including franchise finance (a majority of which was added through a third quarter 2016 asset purchase), energy, specialty healthcare, and music industry contributed to C&I loan growth from 2015. Commercial real estate loans increased 36 percent or $.5 billion to $1.9 billion in 2016 because of growth in expansion markets, increased funding under existing commitments, and an increased focus on funded term debt products. In addition, the fourth quarter 2015 TAB acquisition contributed to the increase.

Average consumer loans declined 5 percent, or $.3 billion, from a year ago to $5.4 billion in 2016. The consumer real estate portfolio (home equity lines and installment loans) declined $243.9 million, to $4.6 billion, as the continued wind-down of portfolios within the non-strategic segment outpaced a $234.5 million increase in real estate installment loans from new originations within the regional bank. The permanent mortgage portfolio declined $51.7 million to $437.5 million in 2016 driven by run-off of legacy assets within non-strategic offset by some growth in mortgage loans within regional banking, primarily related to FHN’s CRA initiatives. Credit Card and Other slightly increased to $359.5 million in 2016.

Because of various factors, the contractual maturities of consumer loans are not indicative of the actual lives of such loans. A significant component of FHN’s loan portfolio consists of consumer real estate loans – a majority of which are home equity lines of credit and home equity installment loans. Typical home equity lines originated by FHN are variable rate 5/15, 10/10, or 10/20 lines. In a 5/15 line, a borrower may draw on the loan for 5 years and pay interest only during that period (“the draw period”), and for the next 15 years the customer pays principal and interest and may no longer draw on that line. A 10/10 loan has a 10 year draw period followed by a 10-year principal-and-interest period and a 10/20 loan has a 10 year draw period followed by a 20-year principal-and-interest period. Therefore, the contractual maturity for 5/15 and 10/10 home equity lines is 20 years and the contractual maturity for 10/20 home equity lines is 30 years. Numerous factors can contribute to the actual life of a home equity line or installment loan. In normalized market conditions, the average life of home equity line and installment loan portfolios is significantly less than the contractual period as indicated by historical trends. More recent indicators suggest that the average life of these portfolios could be longer when compared to that observed in normalized market conditions. This could be attributed to the reduced availability of new credit in the marketplace, weak performance of the housing market for much of the past ten years, and a historically low interest rate environment which is likely to slow prepayments. However, the actual average life of home equity lines and loans is difficult to predict and changes in any of these factors could result in changes in projections of average lives.

Investment Securities

FHN’s investment portfolio consists principally of debt securities including government agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and government agency issued collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), substantially all of which are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”). FHN utilizes the securities portfolio as a source of income, liquidity and collateral for repurchase agreements, for public funds, and as a tool for managing risk of interest rate movements. Table 8 – Contractual Maturities of Investment Securities on December 31, 2016 (Amortized Cost) shows information pertaining to the composition, yields, and contractual maturities of the investment securities portfolio. Investment securities were $4.0 billion on December 31, 2016 and 2015. Average investment securities were $4.0 billion in 2016 and $3.7 billion in 2015, representing 16 percent of average earning assets in 2016 and 2015. The amount of securities purchased for the investment portfolio is largely driven by the desire to protect the value of non-rate sensitive liabilities and equity and maximize yield on FHN’s excess liquidity without negatively affecting future yields while operating in this historically low interest rate environment.

Government agency issued MBS, CMO, and other agencies averaged $3.8 billion and $3.5 billion in 2016 and 2015, respectively, as a $.7 billion decrease in government agency CMO securities were more than offset by a $1.0 billion increase in government agency MBS securities. In 2016, FHN executed two portfolio restructurings as part of an initiative to moderate the overall asset sensitivity position of the balance sheet. As a result of these restructurings and the natural extension that occurs as interest rates rise, the effective duration of the portfolio extended from 3.8 years in 2015 to 4.8 years in 2016. U.S. treasury securities and corporate and municipal bonds averaged $15.2 million in 2016 compared to $13.2 million in 2015. Investments in equity securities averaged $186.4 million in 2016 compared with $183.6 million in 2015. A majority of the equity security balances include

restricted investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) which averaged $156.0 million and $153.7 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively. On December 31, 2016, AFS investment securities had $27.9 million of net unrealized losses compared to $5.5 million of net unrealized gains on December 31, 2015. The increase in net unrealized losses was primarily driven by higher market rates and resulted in a decrease in shareholder’s equity of $17.2 million, net of $10.7 million of deferred tax liabilities. See Note 3 – Investment Securities for additional detail.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans HFS consists of the mortgage warehouse (primarily repurchased government-guaranteed loans), small business, student, and home equity loans. The average balance of loans HFS decreased to $124.3 million in 2016 from $129.0 million in 2015. On December 31, 2016 and 2015, loans HFS were $111.2 million and $126.3 million, respectively. The decrease in both average and period-end loans HFS was largely driven by a smaller mortgage warehouse, and to a lesser extent declines in home equity and student loans. On an average basis, a portion of the decrease was somewhat mitigated by an increase in small business loans.

Other Earning Assets

Other earning assets include trading securities, securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal funds sold (“FFS”), and interest-bearing deposits with the Fed and other financial institutions. Other earning assets averaged $2.7 billion in 2016, a $270.3 million decrease from $3.0 billion in 2015. The decrease was largely driven by a decrease in interest bearing cash which was used to fund loan growth and purchases of AFS securities. Additionally lower balances of trading securities also contributed to the decline in other earning assets, but was somewhat offset by an increase in securities purchased under agreements to resell (“asset repos”). Fixed income’s trading inventory fluctuates daily based on customer demand. Asset repos are used in fixed income trading activity and generally fluctuate with the level of fixed income trading liabilities (short-positions) as securities collateral from asset repo transactions are used to fulfill trades. Other earning assets were $2.6 billion and $2.2 billion on December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in other earning assets on a period-end basis was primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing cash in anticipation of the Coastal Securities acquisition.

Non-earning assets

Period-end non-earning assets increased to $2.3 billion on December 31, 2016 from $2.2 billion on December 31, 2015.

22

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Deposits

Average deposits were $20.9 billion during 2016, up 11 percent from $18.8 billion during 2015. The increase in average deposits was driven by several factors including FHN’s decision to increase deposits in a third party network deposit sweep program, an increase in commercial customer deposits, and the addition of deposits associated with the fourth quarter 2015 TAB acquisition. The third party deposits program is an FDIC-insured deposit sweep program where financial institutions can receive unsecured deposits for the long-term (several years) and in larger-dollar increments. Period-end deposits were $22.7 billion on December 31, 2016, up 14 percent from $20.0 billion on December 31, 2015, and were driven by the same factors that affected average balances, with the exception of the fourth quarter 2015 TAB acquisition which did not impact deposits variance on a period-end basis.

Short-Term Borrowings

Average short-term borrowings (federal funds purchased (“FFP”), securities sold under agreements to repurchase, trading liabilities, and other short-term borrowings) averaged $2.0 billion in 2016 and 2015, as increases from securities sold under agreements to repurchase, trading liabilities, and other short-term borrowings offset a decrease in FFP. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings contributed to the year-over-year increase as additional sources of wholesale funding were used to fund loan growth. Average FFP fluctuates depending on the amount of excess funding of FHN’s correspondent bank customers. Period-end short-term borrowings were $1.5 billion on December 31, 2016 and 2015. See Note 9 – Short-term Borrowings for additional information.

Term Borrowings

Term borrowings include senior and subordinated borrowings with original maturities greater than one year. Term borrowings were $1.0 billion on December 31, 2016 compared to $1.3 billion on December 31, 2015. Average term borrowings were $1.1 billion in 2016 compared to $1.6 billion in 2015. The decrease in average term borrowings primarily relates to $250 million of FTBNA subordinated notes that matured in second quarter 2016 and $206 million of junior subordinated notes underlying $200 million of trust preferred debt that were called in third quarter 2015. See Note 10 – Term Borrowings for additional information.

Other Liabilities

Period-end other liabilities decreased to $.6 billion on December 31, 2016 from $.8 billion on December 31, 2015. Other liabilities decreased as the pension liability was reduced as a result of the third quarter 2016 $165 million qualified pension plan contribution. The qualified pension plan is now reflected as a prepaid pension asset. Additionally a decrease in the repurchase and foreclosure reserve also contributed to the year-over-year decline in other liabilities, but was partially offset by an increase in derivative liabilities.

CAPITAL – 2016 COMPARED TO 2015

Management’s objectives are to provide capital sufficient to cover the risks inherent in FHN’s businesses, to maintain excess capital to well-capitalized standards, and to assure ready access to the capital markets. Period-end and average equity increased to $2.7 billion in 2016 from $2.6 billion in 2015. The increase in average equity was primarily due to net income recognized since 2015 and $72.8 million of equity issued related to the TAF acquisition in October 2015. Additionally, an increase in average unrealized gains associated with the AFS securities portfolio also increased average equity, but was somewhat offset by share repurchases (discussed below), common and preferred dividends paid, and an increase of net actuarial losses for pension and postretirement plans. The increase in equity from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 was due to net income recognized in 2016, somewhat offset by share repurchases, common and preferred dividends paid, and a decrease in other comprehensive income. The decline in other comprehensive income on December 31, 2016 was driven by unrealized losses within the AFS securities portfolio and an increase of net actuarial losses for pension and postretirement plans.

In January 2014, FHN’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program which enables FHN to repurchase its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to certain conditions. In July 2015 and April 2016 the board increased and extended that program. The current program authorizes total purchases of up to $350 million and expires on January 31, 2018. During 2016, FHN repurchased

23

$93.5 million of common shares under the program; during 2015, FHN repurchased $28.4 million of common shares. Total purchases under this program through December 31, 2016 were $160.3 million.

Banking regulators define minimum capital ratios for bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries. Based on the capital rules and definitions prescribed by the banking regulators, should any depository institution’s capital ratios decline below predetermined levels, it would become subject to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions. The system categorizes a depository institution’s capital position into one of five categories ranging from well-capitalized to critically under-capitalized. In 2016, for an institution the size of FHN to qualify as well-capitalized, Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 Capital, Total Capital, and Leverage capital ratios must be at least 6.5 percent, 8 percent, 10 percent, and 5 percent, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, FHN and FTBNA had sufficient capital to qualify as a well-capitalized institution. Regulatory capital ratios decreased in 2016 relative to 2015 due primarily to increases in risk-weighted assets from growth in earning assets, share repurchases and the phased-in implementation of the Basel III regulations partially offset by the impact of net income less dividends. During 2017, capital ratios are expected to remain significantly above well-capitalized standards.

In March 2014, the OCC, Federal Reserve, and FDIC issued final supervisory guidance for stress tests pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Reform Act”). Under these requirements, bank holding companies with $10 billion to $50 billion in assets must conduct an annual stress test to determine whether capital is likely to be adequate to absorb losses under hypothetical economic scenarios provided by the regulators.

In July 2016, FHN submitted results of its annual Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test, commonly known as DFAST, to the OCC and the Federal Reserve. A summary of the results was posted in October 2016 to FHN’s investor relations website. (Neither FHN’s stress test posting, nor any other material found on FHN’s website generally, is part of this report or incorporated herein.)

Pursuant to board authority, FHN may repurchase shares of its common stock from time to time and will evaluate the level of capital and take action designed to generate or use capital, as appropriate, for the interests of the shareholders, subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. FHN’s board has not authorized a preferred stock purchase program. The following tables provide information related to securities repurchased by FHN during fourth quarter 2016:

Compensation Plan Programs:

 

 

A consolidated compensation plan share purchase program was announced on August 6, 2004. This program consolidated into a single share purchase program all of the previously authorized compensation plan share programs as well as the renewal of the authorization to purchase shares for use in connection with two compensation plans for which the share purchase authority had expired. The total amount authorized under this consolidated compensation plan share purchase program, inclusive of a program amendment on April 24, 2006, is 29.6 million shares calculated before adjusting for stock dividends distributed through January 1, 2011. The authorization has been reduced for that portion which relates to compensation plans for which no options remain outstanding. The shares may be purchased over the option exercise period of the various compensation plans on or before December 31, 2023. On December 31, 2016, the maximum number of shares that may be purchased under the program was 28.3 million shares. Purchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions and are subject to market conditions, accumulation of excess equity, prudent capital management, and legal and regulatory restrictions. Management currently does not anticipate purchasing a material number of shares under this authority during 2017.

FHN groups its loans into portfolio segments based on internal classifications reflecting the manner in which the ALLL is established and how credit risk is measured, monitored, and reported. From time to time, and if conditions are such that certain subsegments are uniquely affected by economic or market conditions or are experiencing greater deterioration than other components of the loan portfolio, management may determine the ALLL at a more granular level. Commercial loans are composed of commercial, financial, and industrial (“C&I”) and commercial real estate (“CRE”). Consumer loans are composed of consumer real estate; permanent mortgage; and credit card and other. FHN has a concentration of residential real estate loans (25 percent of total loans), the majority of which is in the consumer real estate portfolio (23 percent of total loans). Industry concentrations are discussed under the heading C&I below.

Acquired Loans

On September 16, 2016, FHN completed its acquisition of franchise finance loans with an unpaid principal balance of $537.4 million. Acquired loans were initially recorded at fair value which was estimated by discounting expected cash flows at the acquisition date. The expected cash flows include all contractually expected amounts and incorporate an estimate for future expected credit losses, pre-payment assumptions and yield requirement for a market participant, among other things. Because an expectation of credit losses is embedded in the fair value estimate, there is no carryover of allowance for loan losses. See Note 4 – Loans for additional information regarding the acquisition.

Certain loans acquired were designated as purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans. PCI loans are loans that have exhibited deterioration of credit quality between origination and the time of acquisition and for which the timely collection of the interest and principal is no longer reasonably assured. FHN considered several factors when determining whether a loan met the definition of a PCI loan at the time of acquisition including accrual status, loan grade, delinquency trends, pre-acquisition charge-offs, as well as both originated versus refreshed credit scores and ratios when available.

On December 31, 2016, the unpaid principal balance and the carrying value of PCI loans (inclusive of the franchise finance loan purchase and two previous bank acquisitions) were $49.9 million and $46.4 million, respectively.

Underwriting Policies and Procedures

The following sections describe each portfolio as well as general underwriting procedures for each. As economic and real estate conditions develop, enhancements to underwriting and credit policies and procedures may be necessary or desirable. Loan policies and procedures for all portfolios are reviewed by credit risk working groups

and management risk committees comprised of business line managers and credit administration professionals as well as by various other reviewing bodies within FHN. Policies and procedures are approved by key executive and/or senior managers leading the applicable credit risk working groups as well as by management risk committees. The credit risk working groups and management risk committees strive to ensure that the approved policies and procedures address the associated risks and establish reasonable underwriting criteria that appropriately mitigate risk. Policies and procedures are reviewed, revised and re-issued periodically at established review dates or earlier if changes in the economic environment, portfolio performance, the size of portfolio or industry concentrations, or regulatory guidance warrant an earlier review. In 2015, origination and underwriting policies and procedures were modified such that the total amount of credit FHN could make available to individual commercial borrowers was increased for borrowers within the strongest grade categories. Additionally, in 2016, borrower limits were generally increased for customers of our Mortgage Warehouse Lending line of business. These changes were approved by management risk committees and the Executive and Risk Committee of the Board in order to enhance and support loan growth while also minimizing incremental credit risk.

COMMERCIAL LOAN PORTFOLIOS

FHN’s commercial loan approval process grants lending authority based upon job description, experience, and performance. The lending authority is delegated to the business line (Market Managers, Departmental Managers, Regional Presidents, Relationship Managers (“RM”) and Portfolio Managers (“PM”)) and to Credit Risk Managers. While individual limits vary, the predominant amount of approval authority is vested with the Credit Risk Management function. Portfolio, industry, and borrower concentration limits for the various portfolios are established by executive management and approved by the Executive and Risk Committee of the Board.

FHN’s commercial lending process incorporates a RM and PM for most commercial credits. The PM is responsible for assessing the credit quality of the borrower, beginning with the initial underwriting and continuing through the servicing period, while the RM is primarily responsible for communications with the customer and maintaining the relationship. Other specialists and the assigned RM/PM are organized into units called deal teams. Deal teams are constructed with specific job attributes that facilitate FHN’s ability to identify, mitigate, document, and manage ongoing risk. PMs and credit analysts provide enhanced analytical support during loan origination and servicing, including monitoring of the financial condition of the borrower and tracking compliance with loan agreements. Loan closing officers and the construction loan management unit specialize in loan documentation and the management of the construction lending process. FHN strives to identify problem assets early through comprehensive policies and guidelines, targeted portfolio reviews, and an emphasis on frequent grading. For smaller commercial credits, generally $3 million or less, FHN utilizes a centralized underwriting unit in order to originate and grade small business loans more efficiently and consistently.

FHN may utilize availability of guarantors/sponsors to support commercial lending decisions during the credit underwriting process and when determining the assignment of internal loan grades. Reliance on the guaranty as a viable secondary source of repayment is a function of an analysis proving capability to pay, factoring in, among other things, liquidity and direct/indirect cash flows. FHN also considers the volume and amount of guaranties provided for all global indebtedness and the likelihood of realization. FHN presumes a guarantor’s willingness to perform until there is any current or prior indication or future expectation that the guarantor may not willingly and voluntarily perform under the terms of the guaranty. In FHN’s risk grading approach, it is deemed that financial support becomes necessary generally at a point when the loan would otherwise be graded substandard, reflecting a well-defined weakness. At that point, provided willingness and capacity to support are appropriately demonstrated, a strong, legally enforceable guaranty can mitigate the risk of default or loss, justify a less severe rating, and consequently reduce the level of allowance or charge-off that might otherwise be deemed appropriate.

C&I

The C&I portfolio was $12.1 billion on December 31, 2016, and is comprised of loans used for general business purposes and primarily composed of relationship customers in Tennessee and other selected markets. Typical products include working capital lines of credit, term loan financing of owner-occupied real estate and fixed assets, and trade credit enhancement through letters of credit.

27

C&I loans are underwritten in accordance with a well-defined credit origination process. This process includes applying minimum underwriting standards as well as separation of origination and credit approval roles on transaction sizes over PM authorization limits. Underwriting typically includes due diligence of the borrower and the applicable industry of the borrower, analysis of the borrower’s available financial information, identification and analysis of the various sources of repayment and identification of the primary risk attributes. Stress testing the borrower’s financial capacity, adherence to loan documentation requirements, and assigning credit risk grades using internally developed scorecards are also used to help quantify the risk when appropriate. Underwriting parameters also include loan-to-value ratios (“LTVs”) which vary depending on collateral type, use of guaranties, loan agreement requirements, and other recommended terms such as equity requirements, amortization, and maturity. Approval decisions also consider various financial ratios and performance measures of the borrowers, such as cash flow and balance sheet leverage, liquidity, coverage of fixed charges, and working capital. Additionally, approval decisions consider the capital structure of the borrower, sponsorship, and quality/value of collateral. Generally, guideline and policy exceptions are identified and mitigated during the approval process. Pricing of C&I loans is based upon the determined credit risk specific to the individual borrower. These loans typically have variable rates tied to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the prime rate of interest plus or minus the appropriate margin.

The following table provides the composition of the C&I portfolio by industry as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. For purposes of this disclosure, industries are determined based on the North American Industry Classification System (“NAICS”) industry codes used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the collection, analysis, and publication of statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.

Industry Concentrations

Loan concentrations are considered to exist for a financial institution when there are loans to numerous borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. 38 percent of FHN’s C&I portfolio (Finance and insurance plus Loans to mortgage companies) could be affected by items that uniquely impact the financial services industry. Except “Finance and Insurance” and “Loans to Mortgage Companies”, as discussed below, on December 31, 2016, FHN did not have any other concentrations of C&I loans in any single industry of 10 percent or more of total loans.

28

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Finance and Insurance

The finance and insurance component represents 21 percent of the C&I portfolio and includes TRUPS (i.e., long-term unsecured loans to bank and insurance-related businesses), loans to bank holding companies, and asset-based lending to consumer finance companies. As of December 31, 2016, asset-based lending to consumer finance companies represents approximately $1.0 billion of the finance and insurance component.

TRUPS lending was originally extended as a form of “bridge” financing to participants in the pooled trust preferred securitization program offered primarily to smaller banking (generally less than $15 billion in total assets) and insurance institutions through FHN’s fixed income business. Origination of TRUPS lending ceased in early 2008. Individual TRUPS are re-graded at least quarterly as part of FHN’s commercial loan review process. Typically, the terms of these loans include a prepayment option after a 5 year initial term, have a scheduled 30 year balloon payoff, and include an option to defer interest for up to 20 consecutive quarters. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, one TRUP relationship was on interest deferral.

As of December 31, 2016, the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of trust preferred loans totaled $333.0 million ($206.7 million of bank TRUPS and $126.3 million of insurance TRUPS) with the UPB of other bank-related loans totaling $279.9 million. Inclusive of a valuation allowance on TRUPS of $25.5 million, total reserves (ALLL plus the valuation allowance) for TRUPS and other bank-related loans were $26.5 million or 4 percent of outstanding UPB.

Loans to Mortgage Companies

The balance of loans to mortgage companies was 17 percent of the C&I portfolio as of December 31, 2016, as compared to 16 percent of the C&I portfolio in 2015, and include balances related to both home purchase and refinance activity. This portfolio class, which generally fluctuates with mortgage rates and seasonal factors, includes commercial lines of credit to qualified mortgage companies primarily for the temporary warehousing of eligible mortgage loans prior to the borrower’s sale of those mortgage loans to third party investors. Generally, lending to mortgage lenders increases when there is a decline in mortgage rates and decreases when rates rise.

C&I Asset Quality Trends

Overall, nearly all of the C&I portfolio trends remain strong in 2016, continuing in line with recent historical performance. The C&I ALLL increased $15.8 million from December 31, 2015, to $89.4 million as of December 31, 2016. The net increase in reserves is largely driven by loan growth but was somewhat offset by the favorable impact of lower loss rates as net charge-offs remain at historical lows. The allowance as a percentage of period-end loans increased to .74 percent as of December 31, 2016, from .71 percent as of December 31, 2015. Net charge-offs were $11.7 million in 2016 compared to $9.1 million 2015. Nonperforming C&I loans increased $6.4 million from December 31, 2015, to $32.7 million on December 31, 2016. The nonperforming loan (“NPL”) ratio increased 2 basis points from December 31, 2015, to .27 percent of C&I loans as of December 31, 2016. The 30+ delinquency ratio remained flat at .08 percent of C&I loans as of December 31, 2016. The following table shows C&I asset quality trends by segment.

Commercial Real Estate

The CRE portfolio was $2.1 billion on December 31, 2016. The CRE portfolio includes both financings for commercial construction and nonconstruction loans. This portfolio is segregated between the income-producing CRE class which contains loans, draws on lines and letters of credit to commercial real estate developers for the

construction and mini-permanent financing of income-producing real estate, and the residential CRE class. Subcategories of income CRE consist of multi-family (32 percent), retail (23 percent), office (15 percent), hospitality (14 percent), industrial (10 percent), land/land development (1 percent), and other (5 percent).

The residential CRE class includes loans to residential builders and developers for the purpose of constructing single-family homes, condominiums, and town homes. Active residential CRE lending has been minimal with nearly all new originations limited to tactical advances to facilitate workout strategies with existing clients and selected new transactions with “strategic” clients. FHN considers a “strategic” residential CRE borrower as a homebuilder within the regional banking footprint who remained profitable during the most recent down cycle.

Income CRE loans are underwritten in accordance with credit policies and underwriting guidelines that are reviewed at least annually and revised as necessary based on market conditions. Loans are underwritten based upon project type, size, location, sponsorship, and other market-specific data. Generally, minimum requirements for equity, debt service coverage ratios (“DSCRs”), and level of pre-leasing activity are established based on perceived risk in each subcategory. Loan-to-value (value is defined as the lower of cost or market) limits are set below regulatory prescribed ceilings and generally range between 50 and 80 percent depending on underlying product set. Term and amortization requirements are set based on prudent standards for interim real estate lending. Equity requirements are established based on the quality and liquidity of the primary source of repayment. For example, more equity would be required for a speculative construction project or land loan than for a property fully leased to a credit tenant or a roster of tenants. Typically, a borrower must have at least 15 percent of cost invested in a project before FHN will fund loan dollars. Income properties are required to achieve a DSCR greater than or equal to 125 percent at inception or stabilization of the project based on loan amortization and a minimum underwriting interest rate. Some product types that possess a greater risk profile require a higher level of equity, as well as a higher DSCR threshold. A proprietary minimum underwriting interest rate is used to calculate compliance with underwriting standards. Generally, specific levels of pre-leasing must be met for construction loans on income properties. A global cash flow analysis is performed at the sponsor level. The majority of the portfolio is on a floating rate basis tied to appropriate spreads over LIBOR.

The credit administration and ongoing monitoring consists of multiple internal control processes. Construction loans are closed and administered by a centralized control unit. Underwriters and credit approval personnel stress the borrower’s/project’s financial capacity utilizing numerous attributes such as interest rates, vacancy, and discount rates. Key information is captured from the various portfolios and then stressed at the aggregate level. Results are utilized to assist with the assessment of the adequacy of the ALLL and to steer portfolio management strategies.

CRE Asset Quality Trends

The CRE portfolio had continued stable performance in 2016 with nonperforming loans down $5.9 million from a year ago, net recoveries in 2016, and minimal past due activity. The allowance increased $8.7 million from December 31, 2015, to $33.9 million as of December 31, 2016. The increase in allowance is primarily driven by loan growth as balances increased $460.6 million from a year ago and consideration of the current economic environment. Allowance as a percentage of loans increased 9 basis points from 2015 to 1.59 percent as of December 31, 2016. FHN recognized a net recovery of $.6 million in 2016 compared to net charge-offs of $1.7 million in 2015. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total CRE loans improved 39 basis points from December 31, 2015 to .13 percent as of December 31, 2016. Accruing delinquencies as a percentage of period-end loans improved 26 basis points from December 31, 2015, to .01 percent as of December 31, 2016.

CONSUMER LOAN PORTFOLIOS

Consumer Real Estate

The consumer real estate portfolio was $4.5 billion on December 31, 2016, and is primarily composed of home equity lines and installment loans including restricted balances (loans consolidated under ASC 810). The largest geographical concentrations of balances as of December 31, 2016, are in Tennessee (69 percent) and California (5 percent) with no other state representing more than 3 percent of the portfolio. As of December 31, 2016, approximately 69 percent of the consumer real estate portfolio was in a first lien position. At origination, weighted average FICO score of this portfolio was 750 and refreshed FICO scores averaged 747 as of December 31, 2016, as compared to 747 and 743, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, approximately $1.3 billion, or 28 percent, of the consumer real estate portfolio consisted of stand-alone second liens while $.1 billion, or 3 percent, were owned or serviced by FHN. We obtain first lien performance information from third parties and through loss mitigation activities, and we place a stand-alone second lien loan on nonaccrual if we discover that there are performance issues with the first lien loan. Generally, performance of this portfolio is affected by life events that affect borrowers’ finances, the level of unemployment, and home prices.

Home equity lines of credit (“HELOCs”) comprise $1.7 billion of the consumer real estate portfolio as of December 31, 2016. FHN’s HELOCs typically have a 5 or 10 year draw period followed by a 10 or 20 year repayment period, respectively. During the draw period, a borrower is able to draw on the line and is only required to make interest payments. The line is automatically frozen if a borrower becomes 45 days or more past due on payments. Once the draw period has concluded, the line is closed and the borrower is required to make both principal and interest payments monthly until the loan matures. The principal payment generally is fully amortizing, but payment amounts will adjust when variable rates reset to reflect changes in the prime rate.

As of December 31, 2016, approximately 63 percent of FHN’s HELOCs are in the draw period, compared to 66 percent as of December 31, 2015. Based on when draw periods are scheduled to end per the line agreement, it is expected that $551.2 million, or 52 percent of HELOCs currently in the draw period, will have entered the repayment period during the next 60 months. Delinquencies and charge-off rates for HELOCs that have entered the repayment period are initially higher than HELOCs still in the draw period because of the increased minimum payment requirement; however, after some seasoning, performance of these loans usually begins to stabilize. The home equity lines of the consumer real estate portfolio are being monitored closely for those nearing the end of the draw period and borrowers are initially being contacted at least 24 months before the repayment period begins to remind the customer of the terms of their agreement and to inform them of options. The following table shows the HELOCs currently in the draw period and expected timing of conversion to the repayment period.

Underwriting

For the majority of loans in this portfolio, underwriting decisions are made through a centralized loan underwriting center. To obtain a consumer real estate loan, the loan applicant(s) in most cases must first meet a minimum qualifying FICO score. Minimum FICO score requirements are established by management for both loans secured

by real estate as well as non-real estate loans. Management also establishes maximum loan amounts, loan-to-value ratios, and Debt-to-Income (“DTI”) ratios for each consumer real estate product. Applicants must have the financial capacity (or available income) to service the debt by not exceeding a calculated DTI ratio. The amount of the loan is limited to a percentage of the lesser of the current value or sales price of the collateral. Identified guideline and policy exceptions require established mitigating factors that have been approved for use by Credit Risk Management.

HELOC interest rates are variable and adjust with movements in the index rate stated in the loan agreement. Such loans can have elevated risks of default, particularly in a rising interest rate environment, potentially stressing borrower capacity to repay the loan at the higher interest rate. FHN’s current underwriting practice requires HELOC borrowers to qualify based on a fully indexed, fully amortized payment methodology. If the first mortgage loan is a non-traditional mortgage, the DTI calculation is based on a fully amortizing first mortgage payment. FHN’s underwriting guidelines require borrowers to qualify at an interest rate that is 200 basis points above the note rate. This mitigates risk to FHN in the event of a sharp rise in interest rates over a relatively short time horizon.

HELOC Portfolio Risk Management

FHN performs continuous HELOC account review processes in order to identify higher-risk home equity lines and initiate preventative and corrective actions. The reviews consider a number of account activity patterns and characteristics such as the number of times delinquent within recent periods, changes in credit bureau score since origination, score degradation, performance of the first lien, and account utilization. In accordance with FHN’s interpretation of regulatory guidance, FHN may block future draws on accounts in order to mitigate risk of loss to FHN.

Consumer Real Estate Asset Quality Trends

Overall, performance of the consumer real estate portfolio remained strong in 2016 as nearly all consolidated asset quality metrics improved from a year ago. Specifically, the regional bank’s asset quality metrics improved from a year ago. The non-strategic segment is a run-off portfolio and while the absolute dollars of delinquencies and nonaccruals mostly improved from a year ago, the 30+ accruing delinquencies and nonperforming loans ratios deteriorated and may become more skewed as the portfolio shrinks and some of the stronger borrowers payoff or refinance elsewhere. The ALLL decreased $30.3 million from December 31, 2015, to $50.4 million as of December 31, 2016, with 67 percent of the decline attributable to the non-strategic segment. The allowance as a percentage of loans was 1.11 percent as of December 31, 2016, compared to 1.69 percent as of December 31, 2015. The 58 basis point decline in the allowance as a percentage of loans is the result of continued run-off of the balances within the non-strategic portfolio, sustained levels of low net charge-offs, strong performance, and continued improvement/stabilization of property values. The balance of nonperforming loans was $82.8 million and $111.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Loans delinquent 30 or more days and still accruing declined from $47.7 million as of December 31, 2015, to $42.1 million as of December 31, 2016. The portfolio realized a net recovery of $1.7 million in 2016 compared to a net charge-off of $6.2 million in 2015. The ratios of 30+ delinquency and NPLs as a percentage of loans within the nonstrategic segment have declined compared to 2015. The following table shows consumer real estate asset quality trends by segment.

Permanent Mortgage

The permanent mortgage portfolio was $.4 billion on December 31, 2016. This portfolio is primarily composed of jumbo mortgages and one-time-close (“OTC”) completed construction loans in the non-strategic segment that were originated through legacy businesses. In 2015 and 2016, the regional banking segment primarily includes recently acquired mortgage loans associated with FHN’s CRA initiatives. The corporate segment includes loans that were previously included in off-balance sheet proprietary securitization trusts. These loans were brought back into the loan portfolios at fair value through the execution of cleanup calls due to the relatively small balances left in the securitization and should continue to run-off. Approximately 25 percent of loan balances as of December 31, 2016, are in California, but the remainder of the portfolio is somewhat geographically diverse. Non-strategic and corporate segment run-off contributed to a majority of the $31.0 million net decrease in permanent mortgage period-end balances from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016.

The permanent mortgage portfolios within the non-strategic and corporate segments are run-off portfolios. As a result, asset quality metrics may become skewed as the portfolio shrinks and some of the stronger borrowers payoff or refinance elsewhere. The ALLL decreased $2.7 million as of December 31, 2016, from $18.9 million as of December 31, 2015. TDR reserves (which are estimates of losses for the expected life of the loan) are within the non-strategic segment and comprise 77 percent of the ALLL for the permanent mortgage portfolio as of December 31, 2016. Consolidated accruing delinquencies as a percentage of total loans increased 25 basis points from prior year to 2.36 percent as of December 31, 2016. Nonperforming loans declined $4.5 million to $27.2 million as of December 31, 2016. The portfolio realized a net recovery of $.8 million in 2016 compared to net charge-offs of $1.5 million in 2015. The following table shows permanent mortgage asset quality trends by segment.

The increase in Regional Bank is primarily due to FHN’s CRA initiatives.

 

(b)

 

30+ Delinquency % includes all accounts delinquent more than one month and still accruing interest.

 

(c)

 

An allowance has not been established for these loans as the valuation adjustment taken upon exercise of clean-up calls included expected losses.

Credit Card and Other

The credit card and other portfolio, which is primarily within the regional banking segment, was $.4 billion as of December 31, 2016, and primarily includes credit card receivables, other consumer-related credits, and automobile loans. The allowance increased to $12.2 million as of December 31, 2016, from $11.9 million as of December 31, 2015. In 2016, FHN recognized $10.6 million of net charge-offs in the credit card and other portfolio, compared to $12.8 million in 2015. Loans 30 days or more delinquent and accruing as a percentage of loans increased 9 basis points from December 31, 2015, to 1.17 percent as of December 31, 2016.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management’s policy is to maintain the ALLL at a level sufficient to absorb estimated probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The total allowance for loan losses decreased 4 percent to $202.1 million on December 31, 2016, from $210.2 million on December 31, 2015. The ALLL as of December 31, 2016, reflects loan growth within the regional bank, strong asset quality with the consumer real estate portfolio continuing to stabilize, declining non-strategic balances, and the moderation of the pace of improvement from a year ago. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans, net of unearned income, decreased to 1.03 percent on December 31, 2016, from 1.19 percent on December 31, 2015.

The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings necessary to maintain the ALLL at a sufficient level reflecting management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses increased to $11.0 million in 2016 from $9.0 million in 2015.

FHN expects asset quality trends to remain relatively stable for the near term if the slow growth of the economy continues. The C&I portfolio is expected to continue to show stable trends but short-term variability (both positive and negative) is possible primarily due to the size of the credits within this portfolio. The CRE portfolio metrics should be relatively consistent as FHN expects stable property values over the near term; however, oversupply of any CRE product type, changes in the lending environment, or economic uncertainty could result in decreased property values (which could happen abruptly). The remaining non-strategic consumer real estate and permanent mortgage portfolios should continue to steadily wind down. Asset quality metrics within non-strategic may become skewed as the portfolio continues to shrink. Continued stabilization in performance of the consumer real estate portfolio assumes an ongoing economic recovery as consumer delinquency and loss rates are correlated with unemployment trends and strength of the housing market.

Consolidated Net Charge-offs

Overall, net charge-offs continue to be at historical lows. Net charge-offs decreased $12.0 million from 2015 to $19.2 million in 2016. The ALLL was 10.54 times net charge-offs for 2016 compared with 6.74 times net charge-offs for 2015.

The decline in consolidated net charge-offs was driven by the consumer portfolio which declined $12.4 million from 2015. The decline in consumer net charge-offs was largely driven by the consumer real estate portfolio as gross charge-offs have been lower but also due to overall improvement within the portfolio. Permanent mortgage net charge-offs declined $2.3 million in 2016 while credit card and other net charge-offs declined $2.2 million from a year ago. These declines were partially offset by a slight increase of $.4 million in total commercial net charge-offs.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans are loans placed on nonaccrual if it becomes evident that full collection of principal and interest is at risk, impairment has been recognized as a partial charge-off of principal balance due to insufficient collateral value and past due status, or on a case-by-case basis if FHN continues to receive payments, but there are other borrower-specific issues. Included in nonaccruals are loans in which FHN continues to receive payments, including residential real estate loans where the borrower has been discharged of personal obligation through bankruptcy and second liens, regardless of delinquency status, behind first liens that are 90 or more days past due, are bankruptcies, or are TDRs. These, along with foreclosed real estate, excluding foreclosed real estate from government insured mortgages, represent nonperforming assets (“NPAs”).

Total nonperforming assets (including NPLs HFS) decreased to $164.6 million on December 31, 2016, from $211.9 million on December 31, 2015. The nonperforming assets ratio (nonperforming assets excluding NPLs HFS to total period-end loans plus foreclosed real estate and other assets) decreased to .80 percent in 2016 from 1.15 percent in 2015 due to a 55 percent decrease in foreclosed real estate (excluding foreclosed real estate from government insured mortgages) and a 19 percent decline in portfolio nonperforming loans from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016. Portfolio nonperforming loans declined $33.5 million from December 31, 2015 to $145.6 million on December 31, 2016. The decline in nonperforming loans was primarily driven by a decrease within the consumer real estate portfolio. Consolidated nonperforming consumer real estate loans decreased $28.3 million in 2016 from $111.1 million in 2015. This decrease was largely driven by performing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) returning to accrual status combined with a decline in balances of second-lien loans behind delinquent first-lien loans.

The ratio of the ALLL to NPLs in the loan portfolio was 1.39 times in 2016 compared to 1.17 times in 2015, driven by lower nonperforming loans. Certain nonperforming loans in both the commercial and consumer portfolios are deemed collateral-dependent and are charged down to an estimate of collateral value less costs to sell. Because loss content has been recognized through a partial charge-off, typically reserves are not recorded.

Table 21 provides an activity rollforward of foreclosed real estate balances for December 31, 2016 and 2015. The balance of foreclosed real estate, exclusive of inventory from government insured mortgages, decreased to $11.2 million as of December 31, 2016, from $25.0 million as of December 31, 2015 as FHN has executed sales of existing foreclosed assets and continued efforts to avoid foreclosures by restructuring loans and working with borrowers. Additionally, property values have stabilized which also affect the balance of foreclosed real estate.

Past Due Loans and Potential Problem Assets

Past due loans are loans contractually past due as to interest or principal payments, but which have not yet been put on nonaccrual status. Loans in the portfolio that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing were $23.4 million on December 31, 2016, compared to $23.3 million on December 31, 2015. Loans 30 to 89 days

past due decreased to $42.6 million on December 31, 2016, from $50.9 million on December 31, 2015. The decrease was largely driven by the commercial real estate and consumer real estate portfolios.

Potential problem assets represent those assets where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms. This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards established by the OCC for loans classified as substandard. Potential problem assets in the loan portfolio, which includes loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, were $290.4 million on December 31, 2016, $255.4 million on September 30, 2016, and $208.7 million on December 31, 2015. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increase in potential problem assets was due to an increase in classified commercial loans driven by a few credits. The current expectation of losses from potential problem assets has been included in management’s analysis for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Troubled Debt Restructuring and Loan Modifications

As part of FHN’s ongoing risk management practices, FHN attempts to work with borrowers when appropriate to extend or modify loan terms to better align with their current ability to repay. Extensions and modifications to loans are made in accordance with internal policies and guidelines which conform to regulatory guidance. Each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately. In a situation where an economic concession has been granted to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty, FHN identifies and reports that loan as a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”). See Note 4 – Loans for further discussion regarding TDRs and loan modifications.

Commercial Loan Modifications

As part of FHN’s credit risk management governance processes, the Loan Rehab and Recovery Department (“LRRD”) is responsible for managing most commercial relationships with borrowers whose financial condition has deteriorated to such an extent that the credits are being considered for impairment, classified as substandard or worse, placed on nonaccrual status, foreclosed or in process of foreclosure, or in active or contemplated litigation. LRRD has the authority and responsibility to enter into workout and/or rehabilitation agreements with troubled

44

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

commercial borrowers in order to mitigate and/or minimize the amount of credit losses recognized from these problem assets. While every circumstance is different, LRRD will generally use forbearance agreements (generally 6-12 months) as an element of commercial loan workouts, which include reduced interest rates, reduced payments, release of guarantor, or entering into short sale agreements.

The individual impairment assessments completed on commercial loans in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification Topic related to Troubled Debt Restructurings (“ASC 310-40”) include loans classified as TDRs as well as loans that may have been modified yet not classified as TDRs by management. For example, a modification of loan terms that management would generally not consider to be a TDR could be a temporary extension of maturity to allow a borrower to complete an asset sale whereby the proceeds of such transaction are to be paid to satisfy the outstanding debt. Additionally, a modification that extends the term of a loan but does not involve reduction of principal or accrued interest, in which the interest rate is adjusted to reflect current market rates for similarly situated borrowers, is not considered a TDR. Nevertheless, each assessment will take into account any modified terms and will be comprehensive to ensure appropriate impairment assessment. If individual impairment is identified, management will either hold specific reserves on the amount of impairment, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, write down the carrying amount of the asset to the net realizable value of the collateral.

Consumer Loan Modifications

FHN does not currently participate in any of the loan modification programs sponsored by the U.S. government but does generally structure modified consumer loans using the parameters of the former Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”). Generally, a majority of loans modified under any such proprietary programs are classified as TDRs.

Within the HELOC and R/E installment loans classes of the consumer portfolio segment, TDRs are typically modified by reducing the interest rate (in increments of 25 basis points to a minimum of 1 percent for up to 5 years) and a possible maturity date extension to reach an affordable housing debt-to-income ratio. After 5 years, the interest rate generally returns to the original interest rate prior to modification; for certain modifications, the modified interest rate increases 2 percent per year until the original interest rate prior to modification is achieved. Permanent mortgage TDRs are typically modified by reducing the interest rate (in increments of 25 basis points to a minimum of 2 percent for up to 5 years) and a possible maturity date extension to reach an affordable housing debt-to-income ratio. After 5 years, the interest rate steps up 1 percent every year until it reaches the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Weekly Survey Rate cap. Contractual maturities may be extended to 40 years on permanent mortgages and to 30 years for consumer real estate loans. Within the credit card class of the consumer portfolio segment, TDRs are typically modified through either a short-term credit card hardship program or a longer-term credit card workout program. In the credit card hardship program, borrowers may be granted rate and payment reductions for 6 months to 1 year. In the credit card workout program, customers are granted a rate reduction to 0 percent and term extensions for up to 5 years to pay off the remaining balance.

Following classification as a TDR, modified loans within the consumer portfolio, which were previously evaluated for impairment on a collective basis determined by their smaller balances and homogenous nature, become subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 310-10-35, which requires individual evaluation of the debt for impairment. However, as applicable accounting guidance allows, FHN may aggregate certain smaller-balance homogeneous TDRs and use historical statistics, such as aggregated charge-off amounts and average amounts recovered, along with a composite effective interest rate to measure impairment when such impaired loans have risk characteristics in common.

On December 31, 2016 and 2015, FHN had $285.2 million and $296.2 million portfolio loans classified as TDRs, respectively. For TDRs in the loan portfolio, FHN had loan loss reserves of $44.9 million and $50.1 million, or 16 percent of TDR balances, as of December 31, 2016 and 17 percent as of December 31, 2015, respectively. Additionally, FHN had $69.3 million and $71.5 million of HFS loans classified as TDRs as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Total held-to-maturity TDRs decreased by $11.0 million with the majority of the decline attributable to consumer real estate and permanent mortgage loans partially offset by an increase in C&I. Generally, the volume of new TDRs, particularly within the consumer real estate and permanent mortgage portfolios, has substantially declined.

RISK MANAGEMENT

FHN derives revenue from providing services and, in many cases, assuming and managing risk for profit which exposes the Company to business strategy and reputational, interest rate, liquidity, market, capital adequacy, operational, compliance, and credit risks that require ongoing oversight and management. FHN has an enterprise-wide approach to risk governance, measurement, management, and reporting including an economic capital allocation process that is tied to risk profiles used to measure risk-adjusted returns. Through an enterprise-wide risk governance structure and a statement of risk tolerance approved by the Board, management continually evaluates the balance of risk/return and earnings volatility with shareholder value.

FHN’s enterprise-wide risk governance structure begins with the Board. The Board, working with the Executive & Risk Committee of the Board, establishes the Company’s risk tolerance by approving policies and limits that provide standards for the nature and the level of risk the Company is willing to assume. The Board regularly receives reports on management’s performance against the Company’s risk tolerance primarily through the Board’s Executive & Risk and Audit Committees.

To further support the risk governance provided by the Board, FHN has established accountabilities, control processes, procedures, and a management governance structure designed to align risk management with risk-taking throughout the Company. The control procedures are aligned with FHN’s four components of risk governance: (1) Specific Risk Committees; (2) the Risk Management Organization; (3) Business Unit Risk Management; and (4) Independent Assurance Functions.

 

1.

 

Specific Risk Committees: The Board has delegated authority to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to manage Business Strategy and Reputation Risk, and the general business affairs of the Company under the Board’s oversight. The CEO utilizes the executive management team and the Executive Risk Management Committee to carry out these duties and to analyze existing and emerging strategic and reputation risks and determines the appropriate course of action. The Executive Risk Management Committee is comprised of the CEO and certain officers designated by the CEO. The Executive Risk Management Committee is supported by a set of specific risk committees focused on unique risk types (e.g. liquidity, credit, operational, etc). These risk committees provide a mechanism that assembles the necessary expertise and perspectives of the management team to discuss emerging risk issues, monitor the Company’s risk-taking activities, and evaluate specific transactions and exposures. These committees also monitor the direction and trend of risks relative to business strategies and market conditions and direct management to respond to risk issues.

 

2.

 

The Risk Management Organization: The Company’s risk management organization, led by the Chief Risk Officer and Chief Credit Officer, provides objective oversight of risk-taking activities. The risk management organization translates FHN’s overall risk tolerance into approved limits and formal policies and is supported by corporate staff functions, including the Corporate Secretary, Legal, Finance, Human Resources, and Technology. Risk management also works with business units and functional experts to establish appropriate operating standards and monitor business practices in relation to those standards. Additionally, risk management proactively works with business units and senior management to focus management on key risks in the Company and emerging trends that may change FHN’s risk profile. The Chief Risk Officer has overall responsibility and accountability for enterprise risk management and aggregate risk reporting.

 

3.

 

Business Unit Risk Management: The Company’s business units are responsible for identifying, acknowledging, quantifying, mitigating, and managing all risks arising within their respective units. They determine and execute their business strategies, which puts them closest to the changing nature of risks and they are best able to take the needed actions to manage and mitigate those risks. The business units are supported by the risk management organization that helps identify and consider risks when making business decisions. Management processes, structure, and policies are designed to help ensure compliance with laws and regulations as well as provide organizational clarity for authority, decision-making, and accountability. The risk governance structure supports and promotes the escalation of material items to executive management and the Board.

47

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

 

4.

 

Independent Assurance Functions: Internal Audit, Credit Assurance Services (“CAS”), and Model Validation provide an independent and objective assessment of the design and execution of the Company’s internal control system, including management processes, risk governance, and policies and procedures. These groups’ activities are designed to provide reasonable assurance that risks are appropriately identified and communicated; resources are safeguarded; significant financial, managerial, and operating information is complete, accurate, and reliable; and employee actions are in compliance with the Company’s policies and applicable laws and regulations. Internal Audit and CAS report to the Chief Audit Executive, who is appointed by and reports to the Audit Committee of the Board. Internal Audit reports quarterly to the Audit Committee of the Board, while CAS reports quarterly to the Executive & Risk Committee of the Board. Model Validation reports to the Chief Risk Officer and reports annually to the Audit Committee of the Board.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Market risk is the risk that changes in market conditions will adversely impact the value of assets or liabilities, or otherwise negatively impact FHN’s earnings. Market risk is inherent in the financial instruments associated with FHN’s operations, primarily trading activities within FHN’s fixed income segment, but also through non-trading activities which are primarily affected by interest rate risk that is managed by the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) within FHN.

FHN is exposed to market risk related to the trading securities inventory maintained by its Fixed Income division in connection with its fixed income distribution activities. Market risk is the risk of loss in the value of the fixed income trading securities inventory due to changes in market prices. Various types of securities inventory positions are procured for distribution to customers by the sales staff. When these securities settle on a delayed basis, they are considered forward contracts. Refer to the “Determination of Fair Value – Trading securities and trading liabilities” section of Note 24 – Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities beginning on page 161 of this report, which section is incorporated into MD&A by this reference.

FHN’s market risk appetite is approved by the Executive and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors and executed through management policies and procedures of ALCO and the FTN Financial Risk Committee. These policies contain various market risk limits including, for example, overall balance sheet size limits for Fixed Income, VaR limits for the trading securities inventory, and individual position limits and sector limits for products with credit risk, among others. Risk measures are computed and reviewed on a daily basis to ensure compliance with market risk management policies.

VaR and Stress Testing

VaR is a statistical risk measure to estimate the potential loss in value from adverse market movements over an assumed fixed holding period within a stated confidence level. FHN employs a model to compute daily VaR measures for its trading securities inventory. FHN computes VaR using historical simulation with a 1-year lookback period at a 99 percent confidence level and 1-day and 10-day time horizons. Additionally, FHN computes a Stressed VaR (“SVaR”) measure. The SVaR computation uses the same model but with model inputs reflecting historical data from a continuous 12-month period that reflects a period of significant financial stress appropriate for our trading securities portfolio.

A summary of FHN’s VaR and SVaR measures for 1-day and 10-day time horizons is as follows:

The potential risk of loss reflected by FHN’s VaR measures assumes the trading securities inventory is static. Because FHN’s Fixed Income division procures fixed income securities for purposes of distribution to customers, its trading securities inventory turns over multiple times daily, on average. Additionally, Fixed Income traders actively manage the trading securities inventory continuously throughout each trading day. Accordingly, FHN’s trading securities inventory is highly dynamic, rather than static. As a result, it would be rare for Fixed Income to incur a negative revenue day in its fixed income activities of the level indicated by its VaR measurements.

In addition to being used in FHN’s daily market risk management process, the VaR and SVaR measures are also used by FHN in computing its regulatory market risk capital requirements in accordance with the Market Risk Capital rules. For additional information regarding FHN’s capital adequacy refer to the “Capital” section of this MD&A.

FHN also performs stress tests on its trading securities portfolio to calculate the potential loss under various assumed market scenarios. Key assumed stresses used in those tests are:

Down 25 bps – assumes an instantaneous downward move in interest rates of 25 basis points at all points on the interest rate yield curve.

Up 25 bps – assumes an instantaneous upward move in interest rates of 25 basis points at all points on the interest rate yield curve.

Curve flattening – assumes an instantaneous flattening of the interest rate yield curve through an increase in short-term rates and a decrease in long-term rates. The 2-year point on the Treasury yield curve is assumed to increase 15 basis points and the 10-year point on the Treasury yield curve is assumed to decrease 15 basis points. Shifts in other points on the yield curve are predicted based on their correlation to the 2-year and 10-year points.

Curve steepening – assumes an instantaneous steepening of the interest rate yield curve through a decrease in short-term rates and an increase in long-term rates. The 2-year point on the Treasury yield curve is assumed to decrease 15 basis points and the 10-year point on the Treasury yield curve is assumed to increase 15 basis points. Shifts in other points on the yield curve are predicted based on their correlation to the 2-year and 10-year points.

Credit spread widening – assumes an instantaneous increase in credit spreads (the difference between yields on Treasury securities and non-Treasury securities) of 25 basis points.

Model Validation

Trading risk management personnel within Fixed Income have primary responsibility for model risk management with respect to the model used by FHN to compute its VaR measures and perform stress testing on the trading inventory. Among other procedures, these personnel monitor model results and perform periodic backtesting as part of an ongoing process of validating the accuracy of the model. These model risk management activities are subject to annual review by FHN’s Model Validation Group, an independent assurance group charged with oversight responsibility for FHN’s model risk management.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from movement in interest rates. ALCO is responsible for overseeing the management of existing and emerging interest rate risk in the company within risk tolerances established by the Board. FHN primarily manages interest rate risk by structuring the balance sheet to maintain a desired level of associated earnings, thereby preserving the value of FHN’s capital.

Net interest income and the financial condition of FHN are affected by changes in the level of market interest rates as the repricing characteristics of loans and other assets do not necessarily match those of deposits, other borrowings, and capital. When earning assets reprice more quickly than liabilities (when the balance sheet is asset-sensitive), net interest income will benefit in a rising interest rate environment and will be negatively impacted when interest rates decline. In the case of floating rate assets and liabilities with similar repricing frequencies, FHN may also be exposed to basis risk which results from changing spreads between earning and borrowing rates. At December 31, 2016 FHN’s balance sheet was in an asset-sensitive position.

Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis

The information provided in this section, including the discussion regarding the outcomes of simulation analysis and rate shock analysis, is forward-looking. Actual results, if the assumed scenarios were to occur, could differ because of interest rate movements, the ability of management to execute its business plans, and other factors, including those presented in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this MD&A.

Management uses a balance sheet simulation model to measure interest rate risk and to formulate strategies to improve balance sheet positioning, earnings, or both, within FHN’s interest rate risk, liquidity, and capital guidelines. Simulation analysis is the primary tool FHN uses to evaluate interest rate risk exposure. This type of analysis computes net interest income at risk under a variety of market interest rate scenarios to dynamically identify interest rate risk exposures exclusive of the potential impact on fee income. This risk management simulation, which considers forecasted balance sheet changes, prepayment speeds, deposit mix, pricing impacts, interest impact of derivatives, and other changes in the net interest spread, provides an estimate of the annual net interest income at risk for given changes in interest rates. The results help FHN develop strategies for managing exposure to interest rate risk. Like any risk management technique creating simulated outcomes for a range of given scenarios, interest rate simulation modeling is based on a number of assumptions and judgments. In this case, the assumptions relate primarily to loan and deposit growth or contraction, asset and liability prepayments, interest rates, and on- and off-balance sheet hedging strategies. Management believes the assumptions used and scenarios selected in its simulations are reasonable. Nevertheless, simulation modeling provides only a sophisticated estimate, not a precise calculation, of exposure to any given changes in interest rates.

The simulation model used to analyze net interest income creates various at-risk scenarios looking at assumed increases and/or decreases in interest rates from instantaneous and staggered movements over a certain time period. In addition, the risk of changes in the yield curve is estimated by flattening and steepening the yield curve to simulate net interest income exposure. Management reviews these different scenarios to determine alternative strategies and executes based on that evaluation. The models are regularly updated to incorporate management action. Any scenarios that indicate a change in net interest income of 3 percent or more from a base net interest income are presented to the Board quarterly.

Various scenarios are performed to measure risk to net interest income from rising rates, falling rates, and changes in the shape of the yield curve assuming a static balance sheet. Based on the rate sensitivity position on December 31, 2016, net interest income exposure over the next 12 months to a rate shock of plus 25 basis

50

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

points, 50 basis points, 100 basis points, and 200 basis points is estimated to be a favorable variance of 1.3 percent, 2.5 percent, 4.7 percent, and 8.8 percent, respectively of base net interest income. A steepening yield curve scenario where long-term rates increase by 50 basis points and short-term rates are static, results in a favorable variance in net interest income of .9 percent of base net interest income. A flattening yield curve scenario where long-term rates decrease by 50 basis points and short-term rates are static, results in an unfavorable variance in net interest income of 1.2 percent of base net interest income. A rate shock of minus 25 basis points results in an unfavorable variance in net interest income of 2.7 percent of base net interest income. These hypothetical scenarios are used to create one estimate of risk, and do not necessarily represent management’s current view of future interest rates or market developments.

While the continuing low interest rate environment is not expected to have a significant impact on the capital position of FHN, the ability to expand net interest margin in this environment, without assuming additional credit risk, continues to be a challenge for FHN. Should the historically low interest rate environment persist, net interest margin will typically decline as yields on fixed rate loans and investment securities decrease due to the combination of asset prepayments and lower reinvestment rates. With core deposit rates near zero, there is little opportunity to offset the yield declines in fixed rate assets with corresponding declines in deposit rates.

Fair Value Shock Analysis

Interest rate risk and the slope of the yield curve also affect the fair value of Fixed Income’s trading inventory that is reflected in Fixed Income’s noninterest income.

Generally, low or declining interest rates with a positively sloped yield curve tend to increase Fixed Income’s income through higher demand for fixed income products. Additionally, the fair value of Fixed Income’s trading inventory can fluctuate as a result of differences between current interest rates and the interest rates of fixed income securities in the trading inventory.

Derivatives

In the normal course of business, FHN utilizes various financial instruments (including derivative contracts and credit-related agreements) to manage interest rate risk of certain term borrowings, and certain loans. The fixed income segment utilizes various financial instruments (including derivative contracts and credit-related agreements) to manage the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of certain financial instruments generally caused by changes in interest rates including Fixed Income’s securities inventory, certain term borrowings, and certain loans. Additionally, Fixed Income or Regional Banking may enter into derivative contracts in order to meet customers’ needs. However, such derivative contracts are typically offset with a derivative contract entered into with an upstream counterparty in order to mitigate risk associated with changes in interest rates.

The simulation models and related hedging strategies discussed above exclude the dynamics related to how fee income and noninterest expense may be affected by actual changes in interest rates or expectations of changes. See Note 22 – Derivatives for additional discussion of these instruments.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND ADEQUACY

The capital management objectives of FHN are to provide capital sufficient to cover the risks inherent in FHN’s businesses, to maintain excess capital to well-capitalized standards, and to assure ready access to the capital markets. The Capital Management Committee, chaired by the Senior Vice President of Treasury and Funds Management and Treasurer, reports to ALCO and is responsible for capital management oversight and provides a forum for addressing management issues related to capital adequacy. This committee reviews sources and uses of capital, key capital ratios, segment economic capital allocation methodologies, and other factors in monitoring and managing current capital levels, as well as potential future sources and uses of capital. The Capital Management Committee also recommends capital management policies, which are submitted for approval to ALCO and the Executive & Risk Committee and the Board as necessary.

OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Operational risk is the risk of loss from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, or systems or from external events including data or network security breaches of FHN or of third parties affecting FHN or its customers. This risk is inherent in all businesses. Operational risk is divided into the following risk areas, which have been established at the corporate level to address these risks across the entire organization:

 

 

Business Continuity Planning/Records Management

 

 

Compliance/Legal

 

 

Program Governance

 

 

Fiduciary

 

 

Financial Crimes (including Bank Secrecy Act, know your customer, security, and fraud)

 

 

Financial (including disclosure, controls and procedures)

 

 

Information Technology (including cybersecurity)

 

 

Vendor

Management, measurement, and reporting of operational risk are overseen by the Operational Risk, Fiduciary, Financial Governance, FTN Financial Risk, and Investment Rationalization Board Committees. Key representatives from the business segments, operating units, and supporting units are represented on these committees as appropriate. These governance committees manage the individual operational risk types across the company by setting standards, monitoring activity, initiating actions, and reporting exposures and results. Key Committee activities and decisions are reported to the appropriate governance committee or included in the Enterprise Risk Report, a quarterly analysis of risk within the organization that is provided to the Executive and Risk Committee. Emphasis is dedicated to refinement of processes and tools to aid in measuring and managing material operational risks and providing for a culture of awareness and accountability.

COMPLIANCE RISK MANAGEMENT

Compliance risk is the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, material financial loss, or loss to reputation as a result of failure to comply with laws, regulations, rules, related self-regulatory organization standards, and codes of conduct applicable to FHN’s activities. Management, measurement, and reporting of compliance risk are overseen by the Operational Risk Committee. Key executives from the business segments, legal, risk management, and service functions are represented on the Committee. Summary reports of Committee activities and decisions are provided to the appropriate governance committees. Reports include the status of regulatory activities, internal compliance program initiatives, and evaluation of emerging compliance risk areas.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in a borrower’s or counterparty’s ability to meet its financial obligations under agreed upon terms. FHN is subject to credit risk in lending, trading, investing, liquidity/funding, and asset management activities although lending activities have the most exposure to credit risk. The nature and amount of credit risk depends on the types of transactions, the structure of those transactions, collateral received, the use of guarantors and the parties involved.

FHN assesses and manages credit risk through a series of policies, processes, measurement systems, and controls. The Credit Risk Management Committee (“CRMC”) is responsible for overseeing the management of existing and emerging credit risks in the company within the broad risk tolerances established by the Board. The CRMC reports through the Executive Risk Management Committee. The Credit Risk Management function, led by the Chief Credit Officer, provides strategic and tactical credit leadership by maintaining policies, overseeing credit

52

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

approval, assessing new credit products, strategies and processes, and managing portfolio composition and performance.

While the Credit Risk function oversees FHN’s credit risk management, there is significant coordination between the business lines and the Credit Risk function in order to minimize FHN’s credit risk and maintain strong asset quality. The Credit Risk function recommends portfolio, industry/sector, and individual customer limits for Board approval. Adherence to these approved limits is vigorously monitored by Credit Risk who provides recommendations to slow or cease lending to the business lines as commitments near established lending limits. Credit Risk also ensures subject matter experts are providing oversight, support and credit approvals, particularly in the specialty lending areas where industry-specific knowledge is required. Management emphasizes general portfolio servicing such that emerging risks are spotted early enough to correct potential deficiencies, prevent further credit deterioration, and mitigate credit losses.

The Credit Risk Management function assesses the asset quality trends and results, as well as lending processes, adherence to underwriting guidelines (portfolio-specific underwriting guidelines are discussed further in the Asset Quality Trends section), and utilizes this information to inform management regarding the current state of credit quality and as a factor of the estimation process for determining the allowance for loan losses. The CRMC reviews on a periodic basis various reports issued by assurance functions which provide an independent assessment of the adequacy of loan servicing, grading accuracy, and other key functions. Additionally, CRMC is presented with and discusses various portfolios, lending activity and lending-related projects.

All of the above activities are subject to independent review by FHN’s Credit Assurance Services Group. CAS reports to the Chief Audit Executive, who is appointed by and reports to the Audit Committee of the Board, and provides quarterly reports to the Executive & Risk Committee of the Board. CAS is charged with providing the Board and executive management with independent, objective, and timely assessments of FHN’s portfolio quality, credit policies, and credit risk management processes.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

ALCO also focuses on liquidity management: the funding of assets with liabilities of appropriate duration, while mitigating the risk of unexpected cash needs. ALCO and the Board of Directors have adopted a Liquidity Policy. The objective of the Liquidity Policy is to ensure that FHN meets its cash and collateral obligations promptly, in a cost-effective manner and with the highest degree of reliability. The maintenance of adequate levels of asset and liability liquidity should provide FHN with the ability to meet both expected and unexpected cash and collateral needs. Key liquidity ratios, asset liquidity levels and the amount available from funding sources are reported to ALCO on a regular basis. FHN’s Liquidity Policy establishes liquidity limits that are deemed appropriate for FHN’s risk profile.

In accordance with the Liquidity Policy, ALCO manages FHN’s exposure to liquidity risk through a dynamic, real time forecasting methodology. Base liquidity forecasts are reviewed by ALCO and are updated as financial conditions dictate. In addition to the baseline liquidity reports, robust stress testing of assumptions and funds availability are periodically reviewed. FHN maintains a contingency funding plan that may be executed, should unexpected difficulties arise in accessing funding that affects FHN, the industry as a whole, or both. Subject to market conditions and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements from time to time, funds are available from a number of sources including the available-for-sale securities portfolio, dealer and commercial customer repurchase agreements, access to the overnight and term Federal Funds markets, incremental borrowing capacity at the FHLB ($2.9 billion was available at December 31, 2016), brokered deposits, loan sales, syndications, and access to the Federal Reserve Banks.

Core deposits are a significant source of funding and have historically been a stable source of liquidity for banks. Generally, core deposits represent funding from a financial institutions’ customer base which provide inexpensive, predictable pricing. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures these deposits to the extent authorized by law. Generally, these limits are $250 thousand per account owner for interest bearing and non-interest bearing accounts. The ratio of total loans, excluding loans HFS and restricted real estate loans, to core deposits was 105 percent in 2016 compared to 100 percent in 2015.

FHN also may use unsecured short-term borrowings as a source of liquidity. Currently, the largest concentration of unsecured borrowings is federal funds purchased from bank correspondent customers. These funds are considered to be substantially more stable than funds purchased in the national broker markets for federal funds due to the long, historical, and reciprocal nature of banking services provided by FHN to these correspondent banks. The remainder of FHN’s wholesale short-term borrowings is securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions accounted for as secured borrowings with Regional Banking’s business customers or Fixed Income’s broker dealer counterparties.

Both FHN and FTBNA may access the debt markets in order to provide funding through the issuance of senior or subordinated unsecured debt subject to market conditions and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. In 2014, FTBNA issued $400 million of fixed rate senior notes due in December 2019. In October 2015, FHN issued $500 million of fixed rate senior notes due in December 2020. FHN also maintains $23.1 million of borrowings which are secured by residential real estate loans in a consolidated securitization trust.

Both FHN and FTBNA have the ability to generate liquidity by issuing preferred equity, and (for FHN) by issuing common equity, subject to market conditions and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. In January 2013, FHN issued $100 million of Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A. As of December 31, 2016, FTBNA and subsidiaries had outstanding preferred shares of $295.4 million, which are reflected as noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Statements of Condition.

Parent company liquidity is primarily provided by cash flows stemming from dividends and interest payments collected from subsidiaries. These sources of cash represent the primary sources of funds to pay cash dividends to shareholders and principal and interest to debt holders of FHN. The amount paid to the parent company through FTBNA common dividends is managed as part of FHN’s overall cash management process, subject to applicable regulatory restrictions. Certain regulatory restrictions exist regarding the ability of FTBNA to transfer funds to FHN in the form of cash, common dividends, loans, or advances. At any given time, the pertinent portions of those regulatory restrictions allow FTBNA to declare preferred or common dividends without prior regulatory approval in an aggregate amount equal to FTBNA’s retained net income for the two most recent completed years plus the current year to date. For any period, FTBNA’s ‘retained net income’ generally is equal to FTBNA’s regulatory net income reduced by the preferred and common dividends declared by FTBNA. Excess dividends in either of the

54

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

two most recent completed years may be offset with available retained net income in the two years immediately preceding it. Applying the applicable rules, FTBNA’s total amount available for dividends was negative $132.5 million as of December 31, 2016 and as of January 1, 2017, consequently, FTBNA could not pay common dividends to its sole common stockholder, FHN, or to its preferred shareholders without prior regulatory approval. FTBNA applied for and received approval from the OCC to declare and pay common dividends to FHN in first quarter 2017 in the amount of $40 million, and in the amounts of $250 million and $325 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively. FTBNA declared and paid preferred dividends in each quarter of 2016 and 2015, with OCC approval as necessary. Additionally, FTBNA declared preferred dividends in first quarter 2017, with OCC approval.

Payment of a dividend to shareholders of FHN is dependent on several factors which are considered by the Board. These factors include FHN’s current and prospective capital, liquidity, and other needs, applicable regulatory restrictions, and also availability of funds to FHN through a dividend from FTBNA. Additionally, the Federal Reserve and the OCC generally require insured banks and bank holding companies to pay cash dividends only out of current operating earnings. Consequently, the decision of whether FHN will pay future dividends and the amount of dividends will be affected by current operating results. FHN paid a cash dividend of $.07 per common share on January 3, 2017, and in January 2017 the Board approved a $.09 per common share cash dividend payable on April 3, 2017, to shareholders of record on March 10, 2017. FHN paid a cash dividend of $1,550.00 per preferred share on January 10, 2017, and in January 2017 the Board approved a $1,550.00 per preferred share cash dividend payable on April 10, 2017, to shareholders of record on March 24, 2017.

CREDIT RATINGS

FHN is currently able to fund a majority of the balance sheet through core deposits, which are generally not as sensitive to FHN’s credit ratings as other types of funding. However, maintaining adequate credit ratings on debt issues and preferred stock is critical to liquidity should FHN need to access funding from other sources, including from long-term debt issuances and certain brokered deposits, at an attractive rate. The availability and cost of funds other than core deposits is also dependent upon marketplace perceptions of the financial soundness of FHN, which include such factors as capital levels, asset quality, and reputation. The availability of core deposit funding is stabilized by federal deposit insurance, which can be removed only in extraordinary circumstances, but may also be influenced to some extent by the same factors that affect other funding sources. FHN’s credit ratings are also referenced in various respects in agreements with certain derivative counterparties as discussed in Note 22 – Derivatives.

CASH FLOWS

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows provide information on cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014. The level of cash and cash equivalents increased $6.7 million during 2016 compared to a decrease of $40.3 million in 2015 and an increase of $243.5 million in 2014. During 2016 and 2014, cash provided by financing and operating activities were greater than cash used by investing activities, whereas during 2015 cash used by investing activities was more than cash provided by operating and financing activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.3 billion in 2016 compared to $111.0 million in 2015. In 2016, financing cash inflows were positively affected by a $2.7 billion increase in deposits, due in large part to increases in insured network deposits and commercial customer deposits, but were somewhat offset by $267.5 million in payments of long-term borrowings, which included the maturity of $250 million of subordinated notes. Additionally, share repurchases and dividend payments negatively affected financing cash flows in 2016, offsetting a portion of the increase in cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $181.1 million in 2016 compared to $367.0 million in 2015. Operating cash flows in 2016 were favorably driven by cash-related net income items, but were negatively affected by a $165.0 million cash contribution to the qualified pension plan in third quarter and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $43.7 million. Net cash used by investing activities was $2.5 billion in 2016 compared to $518.4 million in 2015. Investing cash outflows in 2016 were primarily attributable to loan growth within the regional bank, including the purchase of $537.4 million UPB of franchise finance loans in third quarter. Additionally, a $457.2 million increase in interest-bearing cash, as well as net cash outflows related to the purchases of AFS securities and premises and equipment also negatively impacted investing cash flows in 2016.

Net cash used by investing activities was $518.4 million in 2015 compared to $1.5 billion in 2014. Cash outflows in 2015 were primarily attributable to loan growth within the regional bank and a $332.2 million net decrease in cash related to the available-for-sale securities portfolio, as purchases were greater than cash inflows from sales and maturities. These cash outflows were somewhat offset by a $1.0 billion decrease in interest-bearing cash which positively affected cash flows from investing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $367.0 million in 2015 compared to $704.7 million in 2014. Operating cash flows in 2015 were favorably driven by cash-related net income items and a $266.7 million net increase in cash related to fixed income activities, but were somewhat offset by cash outflows related to operating assets and liabilities of $118.0 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $111.0 million in 2015 compared to $1.0 billion in 2014. In 2015 financing cash inflows were favorably impacted by a $1.6 billion increase in deposits, largely the result of an increase in commercial customer deposits and the timing of a new correspondent banking product which resulted in a shift in funding from short-term borrowings. Additionally, proceeds from the issuance of $500.0 million of senior notes in 2015 positively affected financing cash flows. These inflows were partially offset by cash outflows related to long-term debt, including the maturity of $500 million of senior notes and $304 million of subordinated notes, as well as the redemption of $206 million of junior subordinated debt underlying trust preferred securities. Additionally, an $816.3 million decrease in short-term borrowings, due in part to the shift in funding associated with the new product offering in correspondent banking previously mentioned, as well as dividends paid and share repurchases negatively impacted cash from financing activities in 2015.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 billion in 2014. In 2014, financing cash was positively affected by an increase in deposits and the issuance of senior notes, but was partially offset by payments of long-term borrowings related to the collapse/resolution of two securitization trusts which negatively affected financing cash flows. Additionally cash dividends and share repurchases negatively impacted financing cash flows in 2014. Net cash provided by operating activities was $704.7 million in 2014. Operating cash flows in 2014 were positively affected by cash proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans HFS, cash-related net income items, cash proceeds from MSR sales, and $172.3 million of changes in cash related to operating assets and liabilities. However, these increases were partially offset by a $167.1 million net decrease in cash related to fixed income activities which negatively impacted operating cash flows. Net cash used by investing activities was $1.5 billion in 2014. In 2014, an increase in loan balances and interest-bearing cash, as well as a $116.0 million net decrease in cash associated with the AFS securities portfolio negatively affected cash provided by investing activities, but was partially offset by $413.4 million received from the branch acquisition.

REPURCHASE OBLIGATIONS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS, AND OTHER CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Obligations from Legacy Mortgage Businesses

Overview

Prior to September 2008 FHN originated loans through its legacy mortgage business, primarily first lien home loans, with the intention of selling them. Sales typically were effected either as non-recourse whole loan sales or through non-recourse proprietary securitizations. Conventional conforming single-family residential mortgage loans were sold predominately to two GSEs: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Also, federally insured or guaranteed whole loans were pooled, and payments to investors were guaranteed through Ginnie Mae. Many mortgage loan originations, especially nonconforming mortgage loans, were sold to investors, or certificate-holders, predominantly through FH proprietary securitizations but also, to a lesser extent, through other whole loans sold to private non-Agency purchasers. FHN used only one trustee for all of its FH proprietary securitizations. FHN also originated mortgage loans eligible for FHA insurance or VA guaranty. In addition, FHN originated and sold HELOCs and second lien mortgages through other whole loans sold to private purchasers and, to a lesser extent, through FH proprietary securitizations. Currently, only one FH securitization of HELOCs remains outstanding.

For non-recourse loan sales, FHN has exposure for repurchase of loans, make-whole damages, or other related damages, arising from claims that FHN breached its representations and warranties made at closing to the purchasers, including GSEs, other whole loan purchasers, and the trustee of FH proprietary securitizations.

During the time these legacy activities were conducted, FHN frequently sold mortgage loans “with servicing retained.” As a result, FHN accumulated substantial amounts of MSR on its balance sheet, as well as contractual servicing obligations and related deposits and receivables. FHN conducted a significant servicing business under its First Horizon Home Loans brand.

MI was required by GSE rules for certain of the loans sold to GSEs and was also provided for certain of the loans that were securitized. MI generally was provided for first lien loans sold or securitized having an LTV ratio at origination of greater than 80 percent.

In 2007, market conditions deteriorated to the point where mortgage-backed securitizations could no longer be sold economically; FHN’s last securitization occurred that year. FHN continued selling mortgage loans to GSEs until August 31, 2008, when FHN sold its national mortgage origination and servicing platforms along with a portion of its servicing assets and obligations. FHN then contracted to have its remaining servicing obligations sub-serviced. Since the platform sale FHN has sold substantially all remaining servicing assets and obligations in several transactions, concluding in 2014.

Certain mortgage-related terms used in this section are defined in “Mortgage-Related Glossary” below.

Repurchase and Make-Whole Obligations

Starting in 2009 FHN received a high number of claims either to repurchase loans from the purchaser or to pay the purchaser to “make them whole” for economic losses incurred. These claims have been driven primarily by loan delinquencies. In repurchase or make-whole claims a loan purchaser typically asserts that specified loans violated representations and warranties FHN made when the loans were sold. A significant majority of claims received overall have come from GSEs, and the remainder are from purchasers of other whole loan sales. FHN has not received a loan repurchase or make-whole claim from the FH proprietary securitization trustee.

Generally, FHN reviews each claim and MI cancellation notice individually. FHN’s responses include appeal, provide additional information, deny the claim (rescission), repurchase the loan or remit a make-whole payment, or reflect cancellation of MI.

After several years resolving repurchase and make-whole claims with each GSE on a loan-by-loan basis, in 2013 and 2014 FHN entered into DRAs with the GSEs, resolving a large fraction of potential claims. Starting in 2014 the overall number of such claims diminished substantially, primarily as a result of the DRAs. Each DRA resolved obligations associated with loans originated from 2000 to 2008, but certain obligations and loans were excluded. Under each DRA, FHN remains responsible for repurchase obligations related to certain excluded defects (such as

57

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

title defects and violations of the GSE’s Charter Act) and FHN continues to have loan repurchase or monetary compensation obligations under the DRAs related to private mortgage insurance rescissions, cancellations, and denials (with certain exceptions). FHN also has exposure related to loans where there has been a prior bulk sale of servicing, as well as certain other whole-loan sales. With respect to loans where there has been a prior bulk sale of servicing, FHN is not responsible for MI cancellations and denials to the extent attributable to the acts of the current servicer.

While large portions of repurchase claims from the GSEs were settled with the DRAs, large-scale settlement of repurchase, make-whole, and indemnity claims with non-Agency claimants is not practical. Those claims are resolved case by case or, occasionally, with less-comprehensive settlements. In second quarter 2016, in the largest such settlement to date, FHN settled certain claims which resulted in the reversal of $31.4 million of mortgage repurchase and foreclosure provision expense. Such claims that are not resolved by the parties can, and sometimes have, become litigation.

FH Proprietary Securitization Actions

FHN has potential financial exposure from FH proprietary securitizations outside of the repurchase/make-whole process. Several investors in certificates sued FHN and others starting in 2009, and several underwriters or other counterparties have demanded that FHN indemnify and defend them in securitization lawsuits. The pending suits generally assert that disclosures made to investors in the offering and sale of certificates were legally deficient. A number of those matters have settled or otherwise been resolved. See Note 17 – Contingencies and Other Disclosures for a discussion of certain actions pending against FHN in relation to FH proprietary securitizations.

Servicing Obligations

FHN’s national servicing business was sold as part of the platform sale in 2008. A significant amount of MSR was sold at that time, and a significant amount was retained. The related servicing activities, including foreclosure and loss mitigation practices, not sold in 2008 were outsourced through a three-year subservicing arrangement (the “2008 subservicing agreement”) with the platform buyer (the “2008 subservicer”). The 2008 subservicing agreement expired in 2011 when FHN entered into a replacement agreement with a new subservicer (the “2011 subservicer”). In fourth quarter 2013, FHN contracted to sell a substantial majority of its remaining servicing obligations and servicing assets (including advances) to the 2011 subservicer. The servicing was transferred to the buyer in stages, and was substantially completed in first quarter 2014. The servicing still retained by FHN continues to be subserviced.

As servicer, FHN had contractual obligations to the owners of the loans (primarily GSEs) and securitization trustees to handle billing, custodial, and other tasks related to each loan. Each subservicer undertook to perform those obligations on FHN’s behalf during the applicable subservicing period, although FHN legally remained the servicer of record for those loans that were subserviced.

The 2008 subservicer has been subject to a consent decree, and entered into a settlement agreement, with regulators related to alleged deficiencies in servicing and foreclosure practices. The 2008 subservicer has made demands of FHN, under the 2008 subservicing agreement, to pay certain resulting costs and damages totaling $43.5 million. FHN disagrees with those demands and has made no payments. This disagreement has the potential to result in litigation and, in any such future litigation, the claim against FHN may be substantial.

A certificate holder has contacted FHN, threatening to make claims based on alleged deficiencies in servicing loans held in certain FH proprietary securitization trusts. The holder has sued the FH securitization trustee, but (to date) has not sued FHN. FHN cannot predict how this inquiry, or the Trustee suit, will proceed nor whether any claim or suit, if made or brought against FHN, will be material to FHN.

Origination Data

From 2005 through 2008, FHN originated and sold $69.5 billion of mortgage loans to the Agencies. This includes $57.6 billion of loans sold to GSEs and $11.9 billion of loans guaranteed by Ginnie Mae. Although FHN conducted these businesses before 2005, GSE loans originated in 2005 through 2008 account for a substantial majority of all repurchase requests/make-whole claims received since the 2008 platform sale.

Active Pipeline

FHN accumulates the amount of repurchase requests, make-whole claims, and certain other related claims into the “active pipeline.” The active pipeline includes the amount of claims for loan repurchase, make-whole payments, loans as to which MI has been canceled, and information requests from purchasers of loans originated and sold through FHN’s legacy mortgage banking business. MI was required for certain of the loans sold to GSEs or that were securitized. Although unresolved MI cancellation notices are not formal repurchase requests, FHN includes those loans in the active pipeline. Additionally, FHN is responsible for covering losses for purchasers to the extent there is a shortfall in MI insurance coverage (MI curtailment). Generally, the amount of a loan subject to a repurchase/make-whole claim, or with open MI issues, remains in the active pipeline throughout the resolution process with a claimant. During the last several years the active pipeline has steadily decreased, due in part to settlements and other resolutions, but also due to significant reductions in inflows. On December 31, 2016, the active pipeline was $51.7 million, down from $167.3 million a year ago.

During 2016, the active pipeline decreased $115.6 million to $51.7 million on December 31, 2016. The decrease in the active pipeline was primarily related to the settlement of certain repurchase claims in second quarter 2016. On December 31, 2016, Agencies accounted for approximately 60 percent of the total active pipeline, inclusive of MI cancellation notices, MI curtailments, and all other claims. MI curtailment requests, the largest portion of the active pipeline, are intended only to cover the shortfall in MI insurance proceeds. As a result FHN’s loss from MI curtailments as a percentage of UPB generally is significantly lower than that of a repurchase or make-whole claim. At December 31, 2016, the active pipeline contained no loan repurchase or make-whole requests from the FH proprietary securitization trustee related to first lien mortgage loans based on claims related to breaches of representations and warranties related to origination.

Repurchase Accrual Methodology

Over the past several years FHN’s approach for determining the adequacy of the repurchase and foreclosure reserve has evolved, sometimes substantially, based on changes in information available. Repurchase/make-whole rates vary based on purchaser, vintage, and claim type. For those loans repurchased or covered by a make-whole payment, cumulative average loss severities range between 50 and 60 percent of the UPB.

Repurchase Accrual Approach

Repurchase/Make-whole and Damages obligations and estimates for probable incurred losses associated with loan populations excluded from the DRAs are significant components of FHN’s remaining repurchase liability as of December 31, 2016. Other components of that liability primarily relate to other whole loans sold, MI rescissions, and loans included in bulk servicing sales effected prior to the DRAs.

In determining the loss content of GSE loans subject to repurchase requests excluded from the DRAs (primarily loans included in bulk sales), FHN applies a vintage level estimate of loss to all loans sold to the GSEs that were not included in the settlements and which have not had a prior repurchase resolution. First, pre-payment, default, and claim rate estimates are applied by vintage to estimate the aggregate claims expected but not yet resolved. Historical loss factors for each sale vintage and repurchase rates are then applied to estimate total loss content. Loss content related to other whole loan sales is estimated by applying the historical average repurchase and loss severity rates to the current UPB in the active pipeline to calculate estimated losses attributable to the current pipeline. FHN then uses an internal model to calculate loss content by applying historical average repurchase and loss severity rates to historical average inflows. For purposes of estimating loss content, FHN also considers MI cancellations. When assessing loss content related to loans where MI has been cancelled, FHN applies historical loss factors (including repurchase rates and loss severity ratios) to the total unresolved MI cancellations in the active pipeline, as well as applying these factors to historical average inflows to estimate loss content. Additionally, FHN identifies estimated losses related to MI curtailment requests. Management also evaluates the nature of claims from purchasers and/or servicers of loans sold to determine if qualitative adjustments are appropriate.

Repurchase and Foreclosure Liability

The repurchase and foreclosure liability is comprised of reserves to cover estimated loss content in the active pipeline, as well as estimated loss content related to certain known claims not currently included in the active pipeline. FHN compares the estimated probable incurred losses determined under the applicable loss estimation approaches described above for the respective periods with current reserve levels. Changes in the estimated required liability levels are recorded as necessary through the repurchase and foreclosure provision.

The following table provides a rollforward of the legacy mortgage repurchase liability during 2016 and 2015:

In second quarter 2016, FHN settled certain repurchase claims which resulted in the reversal of $31.4 million of mortgage repurchase and foreclosure provision. The remaining amount relates to recoveries associated with certain claims.

Government-Backed Mortgage Lending Programs

FHN’s FHA and VA program lending was substantial prior to the 2008 platform sale, and has continued at a much lower level since then. As lender, FHN made certain representations and warranties as to the compliance of the loans with program requirements. Over the past several years, most recently in first quarter 2015, FHN occasionally has recognized significant losses associated with settling claims and potential claims by government agencies, and by private parties asserting claims on behalf of agencies, related to these origination activities. At

61

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

December 31, 2016, FHN had not accrued a liability for any matter related to these government lending programs, and no pending or known threatened matter related to these programs represented a material loss contingency described in Note 17 – Contingencies and Other Disclosures.

Other FHN Mortgage Exposures

At December 31, 2016, FHN had not accrued a liability for exposure for repurchase of first-lien loans related to FH proprietary securitizations arising from claims from the trustee that FHN breached its representations and warranties in FH proprietary securitizations at closing. FHN’s trustee is a defendant in lawsuits in which the plaintiffs have asserted that the trustee has duties to review loans and otherwise to act against loan originators and loan servicers, including FHN, outside of the duties specified in the applicable trust documents; FHN is not a defendant and is not able to assess what, if any, exposure FHN may have as a result of them.

FHN is defending, directly or as indemnitor, certain pending lawsuits brought by purchasers of certificates in FH proprietary securitizations or their assignees. FHN believes a new lawsuit based on federal securities claims that offering disclosures were deficient cannot be brought at this time due to the running of applicable limitation periods, but other investor claims, based on other legal theories, might still be possible. Due to the sales of MSR from 2008 through 2014, FHN has limited visibility into current loan information such as principal payoffs, refinance activity, delinquency trends, and loan modification activity.

Many non-GSE purchasers of whole loans from FHN included those loans in their own securitizations. Regarding such other whole loans sold, FHN made representations and warranties concerning the loans and provided indemnity covenants to the purchaser/securitizer. Typically the purchaser/securitizer assigned key contractual rights against FHN to the securitization trustee. As mentioned above, repurchase, make-whole, indemnity, and other monetary claims related to specific loans are included in the active pipeline and repurchase reserve. In addition, currently the following categories of actions are pending which involve FHN and other whole loans sold: (i) FHN has received indemnification requests from purchasers of loans or their assignees in cases where FHN is not a defendant; (ii) FHN has received subpoenas seeking loan reviews in cases where FHN is not a defendant; (iii) FHN has received repurchase demands from purchasers or their assignees; and (iv) FHN is a defendant in legal actions involving FHN-originated other whole loans sold. At December 31, 2016, FHN’s repurchase and foreclosure liability included certain known exposures from other whole loans sold.

Certain government entities have subpoenaed information from FHN and others. These entities include the FDIC (on behalf of certain failed banks) and the FHLBs of San Francisco, Atlanta, and Seattle, among others. These entities purport to act on behalf of several purchasers of FH proprietary securitizations, and of non-FH securitizations which included other whole loans sold. Collectively, the subpoenas seek information concerning: a number of FH proprietary securitizations and/or underlying loan originations; and originations of certain other whole loans sold which, in many cases, were included by the purchaser in its own securitizations. Some subpoenas fail to identify the specific investments made or loans at issue. Moreover, FHN has limited information regarding at least some of the loans under review. Unless and until a review (if related to specific loans) becomes an identifiable repurchase claim, the associated loans are not considered part of the active pipeline.

Other Contractual Obligations

Pension obligations are funded by FHN to provide current and future benefits to participants in FHN’s noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan. On December 31, 2016, the annual measurement date, pension obligations (representing the present value of estimated future benefit payments), including obligations of the unfunded plans, were $804.5 million with $778.9 million of assets (measured at current fair value) in the qualified plan’s trust to fund the qualified plan’s obligations. The discount rate for 2016 of 4.39 percent for the qualified pension plan and 4.07 percent for the nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan was determined by using a hypothetical AA yield curve represented by a series of annualized individual discount rates from one-half to thirty years. The discount rates for the pension and nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plans are selected based on data specific to FHN’s plans and participant populations. See Note 18 – Pension, Savings, and Other Employee Benefits for additional information. As of December 31, 2016, the plan assets exceeded the projected benefit obligation and the accumulated benefit obligation for the qualified pension plan. Decisions to contribute to the plan are based upon pension funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act, the

62

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

maximum amount deductible under the Internal Revenue Code, the actual performance of plan assets, and trends in the regulatory environment. FHN contributed $165 million to the qualified pension plan in third quarter 2016. No contributions were made to the qualified pension plan in 2015. Management has assessed the need for future contributions, and does not currently anticipate that FHN will make a contribution to the qualified pension plan in 2017.

The nonqualified pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, excluding the retiree medical plan, are unfunded. Benefit payments under the non-qualified plans were $5.3 million in 2016. FHN anticipates 2017 benefit payments to be $5.0 million.

FHN has various other financial obligations which may require future cash payments. The following table sets forth contractual obligations representing required and potential cash outflows as of December 31, 2016. Purchase obligations represent obligations under agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on FHN and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. In addition, FHN enters into commitments to extend credit to borrowers, including loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. These commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon and are not included in the table.

MARKET UNCERTAINTIES AND PROSPECTIVE TRENDS

FHN’s future results could be affected both positively and negatively by several known trends. Key among those are FHN’s strategic initiatives, changes in the U.S. economy and outlook, government actions affecting interest rates, and changes in federal policies following the 2016 elections. In addition, legacy matters in the non-strategic segment are likely to continue to impact FHN’s quarterly results in ways which are both difficult to predict and unrelated to current operations.

FHN has prioritized expense discipline not only to include reducing or controlling certain expenses, but also to include investing in revenue-producing activities and critical infrastructure. FHN has committed to organic growth through key hires, targeted incentives, and other traditional means. FHN has actively pursued acquisition opportunities while maintaining a disciplined approach to valuations; to date all which closed have been moderate in size. FHN has been and remains amenable to a much more impactful acquisition, including a merger of equals, if an appropriate opportunity can be found.

Performance by FHN, and the entire U.S. financial services industry, is affected considerably by the overall health of the U.S. economy. The most recent recession ended in 2009. Growth during the economic expansion since 2009 has been muted, compared to earlier recoveries, and somewhat inconsistent from one quarter to the next. Though the economic expansion is nearly 8 years old, currently the U.S. economy does not appear to be

63

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

weakening or falling back into recession. A continuation of the current expansion would support, rather than hinder, future loan and other financial activity growth by our customers.

The Federal Reserve has raised short term interest rates modestly in the past two years, and has signaled a willingness in 2017 to accelerate a transition to a more conventional interest rate environment, depending mainly upon economic data and trends. If the Fed in fact raises rates somewhat more quickly than in the past two years (because economic data shows continued or accelerated growth, for example), FHN’s net interest margin in the future likely would continue 2016’s improving trend. In addition, volatility in interest rates and a steepening yield curve should bolster activity within FHN’s fixed income business. If the data show a risk of lower growth or recession, however, rates may stall or even be lowered, which would adversely impact FHN’s net interest margin and could dampen fixed income activity.

U.S. federal policies are likely to change starting in 2017, based on statements by politicians following the 2016 elections. While FHN cannot predict how new legislation or regulatory actions will unfold, those which currently seem the most likely to be impactful to FHN are: corporate tax reform; regulatory reform generally, which can impact the economy and FHN’s customers; and regulatory reform within the financial services industry.

Lastly, while FHN has made significant progress in resolving matters from the legacy mortgage business, several matters remain unresolved. The timing or financial impact of resolution of these matters, most of which are in litigation, cannot be predicted with accuracy. Accordingly, the non-strategic segment is expected to occasionally and unexpectedly impact FHN’s overall quarterly results negatively or positively with reserve accruals or releases. Also, although new legacy matters of significance arise at a much slower pace than in years past and some formerly common legal claims no longer can be made due to the passage of time, potential for new legacy matters remains.

Foreclosure Practices

All lenders are affected by the heightened regulation of servicing, foreclosure, and loss mitigation practices, at both federal and state levels, implemented since 2009. In addition, FHN retains exposure for potential deficiencies in servicing related to its legacy servicing business and subservicing arrangements. Further details regarding these legacy matters are provided in “Obligations from Legacy Mortgage Businesses – Overview – Servicing Obligations” under “Repurchase Obligations, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Other Contractual Obligations.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

FHN’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. The Consolidated Financial Statements of FHN are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make certain judgments and assumptions in determining accounting estimates. An accounting estimate is considered critical if: (1) the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made and (2) different estimates reasonably could have been used in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, that would have a material impact on the presentation of FHN’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, or results of operations.

It is management’s practice to discuss critical accounting policies with the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee including the development, selection, and disclosure of the critical accounting estimates. Management believes the following critical accounting policies are both important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations and require subjective or complex judgments. These judgments about critical accounting estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements.

64

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Management’s policy is to maintain the ALLL at a level sufficient to absorb estimated probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Management performs periodic and systematic detailed reviews of its loan portfolio to identify trends and to assess the overall collectability of the loan portfolio. Accounting standards require that loan losses be recorded when management determines it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management believes the accounting estimate related to the ALLL is a “critical accounting estimate” as: (1) changes in it can materially affect the provision for loan losses and net income, (2) it requires management to predict borrowers’ likelihood or capacity to repay, often under uncertain economic conditions, and (3) it requires management to distinguish between losses incurred as of a balance sheet date and losses expected to be incurred in the future. Accordingly, this is a highly subjective process and requires significant judgment since it is often difficult to determine when specific loss events may actually occur. The ALLL is increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries and is decreased by charged-off loans. Principal loan amounts are charged off against the ALLL in the period in which the loan or any portion of the loan is deemed to be uncollectible. This critical accounting estimate applies to the regional banking, non-strategic, and corporate segments. A management committee comprised of representatives from Risk Management, Finance, Credit, and Treasury performs a quarterly review of the assumptions used in FHN’s ALLL analytical models, makes qualitative assessments of the loan portfolio, and determines if qualitative adjustments should be recommended to the modeled results. On a quarterly basis, as a part of Enterprise Risk reporting and discussion, management addresses credit reserve adequacy and credit losses with the Executive and Risk Committee of FHN’s Board of Directors.

FHN believes that the critical assumptions underlying the accounting estimates made by management include: (1) the commercial loan portfolio has been properly risk graded based on information about borrowers in specific industries and specific issues with respect to single borrowers; (2) borrower specific information made available to FHN is current and accurate; (3) the loan portfolio has been segmented properly and individual loans have similar credit risk characteristics and will behave similarly; (4) known significant loss events that have occurred were considered by management at the time of assessing the adequacy of the ALLL; (5) the adjustments for economic conditions utilized in the allowance for loan losses estimate represent actual incurred losses; (6) the period of history used for historical loss factors are most reflective of the current environment; (7) the estimate of the time it takes for a loss event to occur and loss to be recognized (the loss emergence period) is most reflective of the current environment; and (8) the reserve rates, as well as other adjustments estimated by management for current events, trends, and conditions, utilized in the process reflect an estimate of losses that have been incurred as of the date of the financial statements.

While management uses the best information available to establish the ALLL, future adjustments to the ALLL and methodology may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the estimates. Such adjustments to original estimates, as necessary, are made in the period in which these factors and other relevant considerations indicate that loss levels vary from previous estimates.

See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses for detail regarding FHN’s processes, models, and methodology for determining the ALLL.

REPURCHASE AND FORECLOSURE LIABILITY

Repurchase Accrual Methodology

FHN has established a liability for loan repurchase, make-whole payments, indemnity, and certain other monetary obligations related to national mortgage loan origination and servicing businesses which FHN sold in 2008. The information, including the definitions of certain terms, contained in “Obligations from Legacy Mortgage Businesses” under “Repurchase Obligations, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Other Contractual Obligations” above should be reviewed before reading this section.

Estimating probable losses associated with FHN’s repurchase obligations for alleged breaches of representations and warranties related to prior Agency and other whole loan sales requires significant management judgment and assumptions. The loss estimation process relies on historical observed trends that may or may not be representative of future actual results. Those trends include observed loss severities, resolution statistics,

65

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

delinquency trends, and historical average loan sizes. Additionally, the level of repurchase/make-whole request and associated losses are affected by external factors such as GSE review practices and selection criteria (for loans sold to GSEs excluded from the DRAs), housing prices, actions of purchasers and/or servicers of previously sold loans, actions of MI companies, and economic conditions, all of which could change in the future.

In making these estimates and assumptions FHN has contemplated, among other things, the DRAs, estimates of FHN’s repurchase or monetary exposure related to loans excluded from the DRAs, and estimates of FHN’s repurchase or monetary exposure related to certain other whole loan sales. Additionally, FHN continues to monitor claims included in the active pipeline, claims from other parties for which loans are not identified, historical repurchase rates, and loss severities.

Based on currently available information and experience to date, FHN has evaluated its exposure under these obligations and accordingly had reserved for losses of $66.0 million and $115.6 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, including a smaller amount related to equity-lending junior lien loan sales. Accrued liabilities for FHN’s estimate of these obligations are reflected in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Charges to increase/(decrease) the liability are included within Repurchase and foreclosure provision on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimate is based upon currently available information and fact patterns that exist as of the balance sheet date and could be subject to future changes. Changes to any one of these factors could significantly impact the estimate of FHN’s liability. FHN continues to monitor trends in claims activity, loss severities, success rates, GSE review practices, MI cancellations, and the status of other claims in order to assess the adequacy of the repurchase liability. At December 31, 2016, FHN had not accrued a liability for exposure for repurchase of loans related to FH proprietary securitizations arising from claims from the trustee that FHN breached its representations and warranties in FH proprietary securitizations at closing.

GOODWILL AND ASSESSMENT OF IMPAIRMENT

FHN’s policy is to assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or between annual assessments if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. FHN also allocates goodwill to the disposal of portions of reporting units in accordance with applicable accounting standards. FHN performs impairment analysis when these disposal actions indicate that an impairment of goodwill may exist. Reporting units have been defined as the same level as the operating business segments.

Companies are permitted to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, when determining whether the quantitative assessment should be performed. If FHN concludes that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, or if management elects, the quantitative analysis is performed. FHN elected to perform the quantitative analysis in 2016.

FHN engaged an independent valuation expert to assist in the computation of the fair value estimates of each reporting unit as part of its annual assessment. The 2016 assessment for the regional banking reporting unit utilized three separate methodologies: a discounted cash flow model, a comparison to similar public companies’ trading values, and a comparison to recent acquisition values. A weighted average calculation was performed to determine the estimated fair value of the regional banking reporting unit. A discounted cash flow methodology was utilized in determining the fair value of the fixed income reporting unit. The most recent valuations as of October 1, 2016, indicated no goodwill impairment in either of the reporting units with goodwill. As of the most recent assessment the fair values of regional banking and fixed income substantially exceeded their carrying values.

Management believes the accounting estimates associated with determining fair value as part of the goodwill impairment test is a “critical accounting estimate” because estimates and assumptions are made about FHN’s future performance and cash flows, as well as other prevailing market factors (e.g., interest rates, economic trends, etc.). FHN’s policy allows management to make the determination of fair value using appropriate valuation methodologies and inputs, including utilization of market observable data and internal cash flow models. If a charge to operations for impairment results, this amount would be reported separately as a component of noninterest expense. This critical accounting estimate applies to the regional banking and fixed income business

reporting units. As of December 31, 2016, the corporate and non-strategic reporting units had no associated goodwill.

The quantitative impairment testing process conducted by FHN begins by assigning net assets and goodwill to each reporting unit. FHN then completes “step one” of the impairment test by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with the value (carrying amount) of its net assets, with goodwill included in the computation of the carrying amount. The carrying value of a reporting unit is based on the amount of allocated equity as determined by FHN’s internal management methodologies. FHN does not maintain a record of equity consistent with GAAP at the reporting unit level. Allocated equity is utilized in certain internal performance measures for segments, including return on tangible common equity. In determining the amount of equity allocated to each reporting unit, FHN utilizes a risk-adjusted methodology that incorporates each reporting unit’s credit, market, interest rate, operational, legal, and compliance risks. Unallocated equity is retained in the corporate reporting unit, which has no goodwill. As of the most recent measurement date unallocated equity primarily related to FHN’s capital deployment initiatives, including potential share buybacks, potential dividend increases, and potential acquisitions.

If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of that reporting unit is not considered impaired, and “step two” of the impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, step two of the impairment test would be performed to determine the amount of impairment. Step two of the impairment test requires a comparison of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the “implied fair value” of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is computed by assuming all assets and liabilities of the reporting unit would be adjusted to the current fair value, with the offset as an adjustment to goodwill. This adjusted goodwill balance would be the implied fair value used in step two. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

In connection with obtaining the independent valuation, management provided certain data and information that was utilized in the estimation of fair value. This information included budgeted and forecasted earnings of FHN at the reporting unit level. Management believes that this information is a critical assumption underlying the estimate of fair value. Other assumptions critical to the process were also made, including discount rates, interest rate changes, asset and liability growth rates, and other income and expense estimates.

While management uses the best information available to estimate future performance for each reporting unit, future adjustments to management’s projections may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the estimates.

INCOME TAXES

FHN is subject to the income tax laws of the U.S. and the states and jurisdictions in which it operates. FHN accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense. FHN income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid.

Income tax expense consists of both current and deferred taxes. Current income tax expense is an estimate of taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period and includes income tax expense related to uncertain tax positions. A DTA or a DTL is recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes can be affected by changes in tax rates applicable to future years, either as a result of statutory changes or business changes that may change the jurisdictions in which taxes are paid. Additionally, DTAs are subject to a “more likely than not” test to determine whether the full amount of the DTAs should be realized in the financial statements. FHN evaluates the likelihood of realization of the DTA based on both positive and negative evidence available at the time, including (as appropriate) scheduled reversals of DTLs, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the carryforwards attributable to or generated with respect to the DTA. In projecting future taxable income, FHN incorporates assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are

67

consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying business. If the “more likely than not” test is not met, a valuation allowance must be established against the DTA.

The income tax laws of the jurisdictions in which FHN operate are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant government taxing authorities. In establishing a provision for income tax expense, FHN must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws. Interpretations may be subjected to review during examination by taxing authorities and disputes may arise over the respective tax positions. FHN attempts to resolve disputes that may arise during the tax examination and audit process. However, certain disputes may ultimately be resolved through the federal and state court systems.

FHN monitors relevant tax authorities and revises estimates of accrued income taxes on a quarterly basis. Changes in estimates may occur due to changes in income tax laws and their interpretation by the courts and regulatory authorities. Revisions of estimates may also result from income tax planning and from the resolution of income tax controversies. Such revisions in estimates may be material to operating results for any given period.

See also Note 15 – Income Taxes for additional information.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

A liability is contingent if the amount or outcome is not presently known, but may become known in the future as a result of the occurrence of some uncertain future event. FHN estimates its contingent liabilities based on management’s estimates about the probability of outcomes and their ability to estimate the range of exposure. Accounting standards require that a liability be recorded if management determines that it is probable that a loss has occurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, it must be probable that the loss will be confirmed by some future event. As part of the estimation process, management is required to make assumptions about matters that are by their nature highly uncertain.

The assessment of contingent liabilities, including legal contingencies, involves the use of critical estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Management’s estimates are based on their belief that future events will validate the current assumptions regarding the ultimate outcome of these exposures. However, there can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions or decisions of arbitrators, will not differ from management’s assessments. Whenever practicable, management consults with third-party experts (e.g., attorneys, accountants, claims administrators, etc.) to assist with the gathering and evaluation of information related to contingent liabilities. Based on internally and/or externally prepared evaluations, management makes a determination whether the potential exposure requires accrual in the financial statements.

See Note 17 – Contingencies and Other Disclosures for additional information.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES ISSUED BUT NOT CURRENTLY EFFECTIVE

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 does not change revenue recognition for financial assets. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This is accomplished through a five-step recognition framework involving 1) the identification of contracts with customers, 2) identification of performance obligations, 3) determination of the transaction price, 4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations and 5) recognition of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative information is required for disclosure regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations,” which provides additional guidance on whether an entity should recognize revenue on a gross or net basis, based on which party controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” which clarifies the original guidance included in ASU 2014-09 for identification of the goods or services provided to customers and enhances the implementation guidance for licensing arrangements. ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” was issued in May 2016 to provide additional guidance for the implementation and application of ASU 2014-09.

“Technical Corrections and Improvements” ASU 2016-20 was issued in December 2016 and provides further guidance on certain issues. These ASUs are effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and associated interim periods. Transition to the new requirements may be made by retroactively revising prior financial statements (with certain practical expedients permitted) or by a cumulative effect through retained earnings. If the latter option is selected, additional disclosures are required for comparability. FHN will not early adopt these ASUs and is evaluating their effects on its revenue recognition practices. Currently, FHN anticipates that it will elect to adopt the provisions of the revenue recognition standards through a cumulative effect to retained earnings with comparability disclosures provided throughout 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 makes several revisions to the accounting, presentation and disclosure for financial instruments. Equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method, those that result in consolidation of the investee, and those held by entities subject to specialized industry accounting which already apply fair value through earnings) are required to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This excludes FRB and FHLB stock holdings which are specifically exempted from the provisions of ASU 2016-01. An entity may elect to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable market values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar instruments from the same issuer. ASU 2016-01 also requires a qualitative impairment review for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, with measurement at fair value required if impairment is determined to exist. For liabilities for which fair value has been elected, ASU 2016-01 revises current accounting to record the portion of fair value changes resulting from instrument-specific credit risk within other comprehensive income rather than earnings. FHN has not elected fair value accounting for any existing financial liabilities. Additionally, ASU 2016-01 clarifies that the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities should be assessed in combination with all other deferred tax assets rather than being assessed in isolation. ASU 2016-01 also makes several changes to existing fair value presentation and disclosure requirements, including a provision that all disclosures must use an exit price concept in the determination of fair value. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Transition will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for equity investments with readily determinable fair values. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values, for which the accounting election is made, will have any initial fair value marks recorded through earnings prospectively after adoption.

Upon adoption, FHN will reclassify all equity investments out of available-for-sale securities, leaving only debt securities within this classification. FHN has evaluated the nature of its current equity investments and determined that substantially all qualify for the election available to assets without readily determinable fair values, including its holdings of Visa Class B shares. Accordingly, FHN intends to apply this election and any fair value marks for these investments will be recognized through earnings on a prospective basis subsequent to adoption. FHN continues to evaluate the appropriate characteristics of “similar” instruments as well as related valuation inputs and methodologies for its equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The requirements of ASU 2016-01 related to assessment of deferred tax assets and disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments will not have a significant effect on FHN because its current accounting and disclosure practices conform to the requirements of ASU 2016-01. FHN also continues to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-01 on other aspects of its current accounting and disclosure practices.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires a lessee to recognize in its statement of condition a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 leaves lessor accounting largely unchanged from prior standards. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All other leases must be classified as financing or operating leases which depends on the relationship of the lessee’s rights to the economic value of the leased asset. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability is recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in earnings, resulting in higher expense in the earlier portion of the lease term. For operating leases, a single lease cost is calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis.

69

In transition to ASU 2016-02, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply, which would result in continuing to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous requirements (unless the lease is modified) except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous requirements. ASU 2016-02 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FHN is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its current accounting and disclosure practices.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, “Recognition of Breakage of Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products,” which indicates that liabilities related to the sale of prepaid stored-value products are considered financial liabilities and should have a breakage estimate applied for estimated unused funds. ASU 2016-04 does not apply to stored-value products that can only be redeemed for cash, are subject to escheatment or are linked to a segregated bank account. ASU 2016-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. FHN is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-04 on its current accounting and disclosure practices.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which makes several revisions to equity compensation accounting. Under the new guidance all excess tax benefits and deficiencies that occur when an award vests, is exercised, or expires will be recognized in income tax expense as discrete period items. Previously, these transactions were typically recorded directly within equity. Consistent with this change, excess tax benefits and deficiencies will no longer be included within estimated proceeds when performing the treasury stock method for calculation of diluted earnings per share. Excess tax benefits will also be recognized at the time an award is exercised or vests compared to the current requirement to delay recognition until the deduction reduces taxes payable. The presentation of excess tax benefits in the statement of cash flows will shift to an operating activity from the current classification as a financing activity.

ASU 2016-09 also provides an accounting policy election to recognize forfeitures of awards as they occur when estimating stock-based compensation expense rather than the current requirement to estimate forfeitures from inception. Further, ASU 2016-09 permits employers to use a net-settlement feature to withhold taxes on equity compensation awards up to the maximum statutory tax rate without affecting the equity classification of the award. Under current guidance, withholding of equity awards in excess of the minimum statutory requirement results in liability classification for the entire award. The related cash remittance by the employer for employee taxes will be treated as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Transition to the new guidance will be accomplished through a combination of retrospective, cumulative-effect adjustment to equity and prospective methodologies. FHN estimates, based on currently enacted tax rates, that adoption of ASU 2016-09 in 2017 will result in an incremental effect on tax provision ranging from $4.0 million of tax benefit to $2.0 million of additional tax provision. The actual effects of adoption are primarily dependent upon the share price of the FHN’s common stock, which affects the vesting of certain performance awards, probability of exercise of certain stock options and the magnitude of windfalls for all awards upon either vesting or exercise. The effects on earnings per share calculations and election to account for forfeitures as incurred are not anticipated to be significant.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which revises the measurement and recognition of credit losses for assets measured at amortized cost (e.g., held-to-maturity (“HTM”) loans and debt securities) and available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. Under ASU 2016-13, for assets measured at amortized cost, the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) is measured as the difference between amortized cost and the net amount expected to be collected. This represents a departure from existing GAAP as the “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The measurement of current expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Additionally, current disclosures of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables will be further disaggregated by year of origination. ASU 2016-13 leaves the

70

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

methodology for measuring credit losses on AFS debt securities largely unchanged, with the maximum credit loss representing the difference between amortized cost and fair value. However, such credit losses will be recognized through an allowance for credit losses, which permits recovery of previously recognized credit losses if circumstances change.

ASU 2016-13 also revises the recognition of credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”). For PCD assets, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price. Only subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a credit loss expense for PCD assets. Interest income for PCD assets will be recognized based on the effective interest rate, excluding the discount embedded in the purchase price that is attributable to the acquirer’s assessment of credit losses at acquisition. Currently, credit losses for purchased credit-impaired assets are included in the initial basis of the assets with subsequent declines in credit resulting in expense while subsequent improvements in credit are reflected as an increase in the future yield from the assets.

The provisions of ASU 2016-13 will be generally adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in the year of adoption. Prospective implementation is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) had been previously recognized. Amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as of the date of adoption that relate to improvements in cash flows expected to be collected will continue to be accreted into income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after the date of adoption will be recorded in earnings when received. A prospective transition approach will be used for existing PCD assets where, upon adoption, the amortized cost basis will be adjusted to reflect the addition of the allowance for credit losses. Thus, an entity will not be required to reassess its purchased financial assets that exist as of the date of adoption to determine whether they would have met at acquisition the new criteria of more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination. An entity will accrete the remaining noncredit discount (based on the revised amortized cost basis) into interest income at the effective interest rate at the adoption date.

ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. FHN is still evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its current accounting and disclosure practices.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which clarifies multiple cash flow presentation issues including providing guidance as to classification on the cash flow statement for certain cash receipts and cash payments where diversity in practice exists. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-15 should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. FHN is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its current cash flow presentation practices.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” which requires recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Therefore, ASU 2016-16 reverses the current requirement to delay recognition of the tax consequences of these transactions until the associated assets are sold to an outside party. The provisions of ASU 2016-16 will be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption for previous intra-entity transfers. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued. FHN is early adopting ASU 2016-16 effective January 1, 2017, for its intra-entity asset transfers and there will not be a significant financial statement effect.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management at First Horizon National Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. First Horizon National Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Even effective internal controls, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations such as the possibility of human error or of circumvention or overriding of controls, and consideration of cost in relation to benefit of a control. Moreover, effectiveness must necessarily be considered according to the existing state of the art of internal control. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may diminish over time.

Management assessed the effectiveness of First Horizon National Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. This assessment was based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on our assessment and those criteria, management believes that First Horizon National Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016.

First Horizon National Corporation’s independent auditors have issued an attestation report on First Horizon National Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. That report appears on the following page.

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
First Horizon National Corporation:

We have audited First Horizon National Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, First Horizon National Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statements of condition of First Horizon National Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, and our report dated February 27, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
First Horizon National Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of First Horizon National Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Horizon National Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 27, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting. The consolidated financial statements of First Horizon National Corporation (“FHN”), including its subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. This preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements and could differ from actual results.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FHN and other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) for which FHN or a subsidiary has been determined to be the primary beneficiary are also consolidated. Affiliates for which FHN is not considered the primary beneficiary and in which FHN does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for by the equity method. These investments are included in other assets, and FHN’s proportionate share of income or loss is included in noninterest income. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Business Combinations. FHN accounts for acquisitions meeting the definition of a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which requires acquired assets and liabilities (other than tax and certain benefit plan balances) to be recorded at fair value. Business combinations are included in the financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition. FHN derives a significant portion of its revenues from fee-based services. Noninterest income from transaction-based fees is generally recognized when the transactions are completed. Noninterest income from service-based fees is generally recognized over the period in which FHN provides the service.

Deposit Transactions and Cash Management. Deposit transactions and cash management include fees for services related to consumer and commercial deposit products (such as service charges on checking accounts), cash management products and services such as electronic transaction processing (Automated Clearing House and Electronic Data Interchange), account reconciliation services, cash vault services, lockbox processing, and information reporting to large corporate clients.

Insurance Commissions. Insurance commissions are derived from the sale of insurance products, including acting as an independent agent to provide life, long-term care, and disability insurance.

Trust Services and Investment Management. Trust services and investment management fees include investment management, personal trust, employee benefits, and custodial trust services.

Brokerage, Management Fees and Commissions. Brokerage, management fees and commissions include fees for portfolio management, trade commissions, and annuity and mutual fund sales.

Statements of Cash Flows. For purposes of these statements, cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell are considered cash and cash equivalents. Federal funds are usually sold for one-day periods, and securities purchased under agreements to resell are short-term, highly liquid investments.

Trading Activities. Securities purchased in connection with underwriting or dealer activities (long positions) are carried at fair market value as trading securities. Gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, on these securities are reflected in fixed income noninterest income. Trading liabilities include securities that FHN has sold to other parties but does not own (short positions). FHN is obligated to purchase securities at a future date to cover the short positions. Assets and liabilities for unsettled trades are recorded on the Consolidated

88

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Statements of Condition as “Fixed income receivables” or “Fixed income payables.” Retained interests from sales and securitizations of first lien mortgages are recognized at fair value as trading securities with gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, recognized in other income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Cash receipts and payments are classified in investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the purpose for which such financial assets were retained.

Investment Securities. Investment securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The review includes an analysis of the facts and circumstances of each individual investment such as the degree of loss, the length of time the fair value has been below cost, the expectation for that security’s performance, the creditworthiness of the issuer and FHN’s intent and ability to hold the security. Debt securities that may be sold prior to maturity and equity securities are classified as securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) and are carried at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, including debt securities for which no credit impairment exists, are excluded from earnings and are reported, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity and the Statements of Comprehensive Income. Debt securities which management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity (“HTM”) are reported at amortized cost.

Realized gains and losses for investment securities are determined by the specific identification method and reported in noninterest income. Declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary based on FHN’s analysis of the facts and circumstances related to an individual investment, including securities that FHN has the intent to sell, are also determined by the specific identification method. For HTM debt securities, OTTI recognized is typically credit-related and is reported in noninterest income. For impaired AFS debt securities that FHN does not intend to sell and will not be required to sell prior to recovery but for which credit losses exist, the OTTI recognized is separated between the total impairment related to credit losses which is reported in noninterest income, and the impairment related to all other factors which is excluded from earnings and reported, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity and the Statements of Comprehensive Income.

National banks chartered by the federal government are, by law, members of the Federal Reserve System. Each member bank is required to own stock in its regional Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”). Given this requirement, FRB stock may not be sold, traded, or pledged as collateral for loans. Membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) network requires ownership of capital stock. Member banks are entitled to borrow funds from the FHLB and are required to pledge mortgage loans as collateral. Investments in the FHLB are non-transferable and, generally, membership is maintained primarily to provide a source of liquidity as needed. Other equity investments include a mutual fund which is recognized at net asset value as well as various cost method investments that are subject to impairment reviews when recovery of the recorded investment is considered uncertain.

Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. FHN enters into short-term securities purchased under agreements to resell transactions which are accounted for as collateralized financings except where FHN does not have an agreement to sell the same or substantially the same securities before maturity at a fixed or determinable price. All of FHN’s securities purchased under agreements to resell are recognized as collateralized financings. Securities delivered under these transactions are delivered to either the dealer custody account at the FRB or to the applicable counterparty. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are offered to cash management customers as an automated, collateralized investment account. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are also used by the consumer/commercial bank to obtain favorable borrowing rates on its purchased funds. All of FHN’s securities sold under agreements to repurchase are secured borrowings.

Collateral is valued daily and FHN may require counterparties to deposit additional securities or cash as collateral, or FHN may return cash or securities previously pledged by counterparties, or FHN may be required to post additional securities or cash as collateral, based on the contractual requirements for these transactions.

FHN’s fixed income business utilizes securities borrowing arrangements as part of its trading operations. Securities borrowing transactions generally require FHN to deposit cash with the securities lender. The amount

89

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

of cash advanced is recorded within Securities purchased under agreements to resell in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. These transactions are not considered purchases and the securities borrowed are not recognized by FHN. FHN does not conduct securities lending transactions.

Loans Held-for-Sale. Loans originated or purchased in which management lacks the intent to hold are included in loans held-for-sale in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. FHN has elected the fair value option on a prospective basis for certain mortgage loans held for sale, including loans originated subsequent to 2007 and repurchased loans that are not governmentally insured. Such loans are carried at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized in the other income section of the Consolidated Statements of Income. For mortgage loans originated for sale for which the fair value option is elected, loan origination fees are recorded by FHN when earned and related direct loan origination costs are recognized when incurred. See Note 24 – Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities for additional information. FHN accounts for Small Business Administration loans, mortgage loans held-for-sale which were originated prior to 2008 and mortgage loans held-for-sale for which fair value accounting was not elected (primarily repurchased government-insured loans) at the lower of cost or market value (“LOCOM”).

Loans. Generally, loans are stated at principal amounts outstanding, net of unearned income. Interest on loans is recognized on an accrual basis at the applicable interest rate on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and direct costs as well as premiums and discounts are amortized as level yield adjustments over the respective loan terms. Unamortized net fees or costs are recognized upon early repayment of the loans or charge-off. Loan commitment fees are generally deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the commitment period.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status if it becomes evident that full collection of principal and interest is at risk, impairment has been recognized as a partial charge-off of principal balance due to insufficient collateral value and past due status, or on a case-by-case basis if FHN continues to receive payments, but there are other borrower-specific issues.

 

 

The accrual status policy for commercial troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) follows the same internal policies and procedures as other commercial portfolio loans.

 

 

Residential real estate secured loans discharged in bankruptcy that have not been reaffirmed by the borrower (“discharged bankruptcies”) are placed on nonaccrual regardless of delinquency status and are reported as TDRs.

 

 

Current second lien residential real estate loans that are junior to first liens are placed on nonaccrual status if the first lien is 90 or more days past due, is a bankruptcy, or is a troubled debt restructuring.

 

 

Consumer real estate (HELOC and residential real estate installment loans), if not already on nonaccrual per above situations, are placed on nonaccrual if the loan is 30 or more days delinquent at the time of modification and is also determined to be a TDR.

 

 

Government guaranteed/insured residential mortgage loans remain on accrual (even if the loan falls into one of the above categories) because the collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured.

For commercial and consumer loans within each portfolio segment and class that have been placed on nonaccrual status, accrued but uncollected interest is reversed and charged against interest income when the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to recover the principal balance and accrued interest. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are normally applied to outstanding principal first. Once all principal has been received, additional interest payments are recognized on a cash basis as interest income.

Generally, commercial and consumer loans within each portfolio segment and class that have been placed on nonaccrual status can be returned to accrual status if all principal and interest is current and FHN expects full repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest. This typically requires that a borrower make

90

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

payments in accordance with the contractual terms for a sustained period of time (generally for a minimum of six months) before being returned to accrual status. For TDRs, FHN may also consider a borrower’s sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable time prior to the restructuring in assessing whether the borrower can meet the restructured terms, as it may indicate whether the borrower is capable of servicing the level of debt under the modified terms.

Residential real estate loans discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy and not reaffirmed by the borrower are not returned to accrual status. For current second liens that have been placed on nonaccrual because the first lien is 90 or more days past due or is a TDR or bankruptcy, the second lien may be returned to accrual upon pay-off or cure of the first lien.

Charge-offs. For all commercial and consumer loan portfolio segments, all losses of principal are charged to the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) in the period in which the loan is deemed to be uncollectible.

For consumer loans, the timing of a full or partial charge-off generally depends on the loan type and delinquency status. Generally, for the consumer real estate and permanent mortgage portfolio segments, a loan will be either partially or fully charged-off when it becomes 180 days past due. At this time, if the collateral value does not support foreclosure, balances are fully charged-off and other avenues of recovery are pursued. If the collateral value supports foreclosure, the loan is charged-down to net realizable value (collateral value less estimated costs to sell) and is placed on nonaccrual status. For residential real estate loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy and not reaffirmed by the borrower, the fair value of the collateral position is assessed at the time FHN is made aware of the discharge and the loan is charged down to the net realizable value (collateral value less estimated costs to sell). Within the credit card and other portfolio segment, credit cards and installment loans secured by automobiles are normally charged-off upon reaching 180 days past due while other non-real estate consumer loans are charged-off upon reaching 120 days past due.

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans include nonaccrual commercial loans greater than $1 million and modified consumer and commercial loans that have been classified as a TDR and are individually measured for impairment under the guidance of ASC 310. TDRs are always reported as such unless the TDR has exhibited sustained performance, was reported as a TDR over a year-end, and the modified terms were market-based at the time of modification.

Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans. ASC 310-30 “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer,” provides guidance for acquired loans that have exhibited deterioration of credit quality between origination and the time of acquisition and for which the timely collection of the interest and principal is not reasonably assured (“PCI loans”). PCI loans are initially recorded at fair value which is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at acquisition date. The expected cash flows include all contractually expected amounts (including interest) and incorporate an estimate for future expected credit losses, pre-payment assumptions, and yield requirement for a market participant, among other things. To the extent possible, certain PCI loans were aggregated into pools with composite interest rate and cash flows expected to be collected for the pool. Aggregation into loan pools is based upon common risk characteristics that include similar credit risk or risk ratings, and one or more predominant risk characteristics. Each PCI pool is accounted for as a single unit.

Accretable yield is initially established at acquisition and is the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the initial investment in the loan and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan, or pool of loans. Nonaccretable difference is initially established at acquisition and is the difference between the contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition. FHN estimates expected cash flows for PCI loans on a quarterly basis. Increases in expected cash flows from the last measurement result in reversal of any nonaccretable difference (or allowance for loan losses to the extent any has previously been recorded) with a prospective positive impact on interest income. Decreases to the expected cash flows result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses through provision expense.

91

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

FHN does not report PCI loans as nonperforming loans due to the accretion of interest income. Additionally, PCI loans that have been pooled and subsequently modified will not be reported as troubled debt restructurings since the pool is the unit of measurement.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The ALLL is maintained at a level that management determines is sufficient to absorb estimated probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The ALLL is increased by the provision for loan losses and loan recoveries and is decreased by loan charge-offs. The ALLL is determined in accordance with ASC 450-20-50 “Contingencies – Accruals for Loss Contingencies” and is composed of reserves for commercial loans evaluated based on pools of credit graded loans and reserves for pools of smaller-balance homogeneous consumer and commercial loans. The reserve factors applied to these pools are an estimate of probable incurred losses based on management’s evaluation of historical net losses from loans with similar characteristics. Additionally, the ALLL includes specific reserves established in accordance with ASC 310-10-35 for loans determined by management to be individually impaired as well as reserves associated with PCI loans. Management uses analytical models to estimate probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The models, which are primarily driven by historical losses, are carefully reviewed to identify trends that may not be captured in the historical loss factors used in the models. Management uses qualitative adjustments for those items not yet captured in the models like current events, recent trends in the portfolio, current underwriting guidelines, and local and macroeconomic trends, among other things.

The nature of the process by which FHN determines the appropriate ALLL requires the exercise of considerable judgment. See Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses for a discussion of FHN’s ALLL methodology and a description of the models utilized in the estimation process for the commercial and consumer loan portfolios.

Key components of the estimation process are as follows: (1) commercial loans determined by management to be individually impaired loans are evaluated individually and specific reserves are determined based on the difference between the outstanding loan amount and the estimated net realizable value of the collateral (if collateral dependent), the present value of expected future cash flows or by observable market prices; (2) individual commercial loans not considered to be individually impaired are segmented based on similar credit risk characteristics and evaluated on a pool basis; (3) reserve rates for the commercial segment are calculated based on historical net charge-offs and are subject to adjustment by management to reflect current events, trends, and conditions (including economic considerations and trends); (4) management’s estimate of probable incurred losses reflects the reserve rates applied against the balance of loans in the commercial segment of the loan portfolio; (5) consumer loans are generally segmented based on loan type; (6) reserve amounts for each consumer portfolio segment are calculated using analytical models based on delinquency trends and net loss experience and are subject to adjustment by management to reflect current events, trends, and conditions (including economic considerations and trends); and (7) the reserve amount for each consumer portfolio segment reflects management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the consumer segment of the loan portfolio.

Impairment related to individually impaired loans is measured in accordance with ASC 310-10. For all commercial portfolio segments, commercial TDRs and other individually impaired commercial loans are measured based on the present value of expected future payments discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate (“the DCF method”), observable market prices, or for loans that are solely dependent on the collateral for repayment, the net realizable value (collateral value less estimated costs to sell). Impaired loans also include consumer TDRs.

Future adjustments to the ALLL may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the estimates or, if required by regulators, based upon information at the time of their examinations or upon future regulatory guidance. Such adjustments to original estimates, as necessary, are made in the period in which these factors and other relevant considerations indicate that loss levels vary from previous estimates.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and include additions that materially extend the useful lives of existing premises and equipment.

92

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

All other maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are reflected in noninterest income and expense, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and are recorded as noninterest expense. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease periods or the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Useful lives utilized in determining depreciation for furniture, fixtures and equipment and buildings are three to fifteen and seven to forty-five years, respectively.

Real Estate Acquired by Foreclosure. Real estate acquired by foreclosure or other real estate-owned (“ORE”) consists of properties that have been acquired in satisfaction of debt. These properties are carried at the lower of the outstanding loan amount or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell the real estate. At the time of foreclosure and in conjunction with the transfer from loans to real estate acquired by foreclosure, there is a charge-off against the ALLL if the estimated fair value less costs to sell is less than the loan’s cost basis. Subsequent declines in fair value and gains or losses on dispositions, if any, are charged to All other expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Prior to January 1, 2015, properties acquired by foreclosure in compliance with HUD servicing guidelines are included in “Real estate acquired by foreclosure” and are carried at the estimated amount of the underlying government insurance or guarantee. On December 31, 2016, FHN had $5.0 million of these foreclosed properties.

Required developmental costs associated with foreclosed property under construction are capitalized and included in determining the estimated net realizable value of the property, which is reviewed periodically, and any write-downs are charged against current earnings.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of “Other intangible assets” and “Goodwill.” Other intangible assets represents intangible assets, including customer lists, acquired contracts, covenants not to compete and premium on purchased deposits, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Assets related to deposit bases are primarily amortized over 10 years. Management evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life or carrying value of amortizing intangibles should be revised. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over net assets of acquired businesses less identifiable intangible assets. On an annual basis, FHN assesses goodwill for impairment.

Derivative Financial Instruments. FHN accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815 which requires recognition of all derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value through adjustments to either accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity or current earnings. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell a derivative asset or paid to transfer a derivative liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the transaction date. Fair value is determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. FHN has elected to present its derivative assets and liabilities gross on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Amounts of collateral posted or received have not been netted with the related derivatives. See Note 22 – Derivatives for discussion on netting of derivatives.

FHN prepares written hedge documentation, identifying the risk management objective and designating the derivative instrument as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge as applicable, or as a free-standing derivative instrument entered into as an economic hedge or to meet customers’ needs. All transactions designated as ASC 815 hedges must be assessed at inception and on an ongoing basis as to the effectiveness of the derivative instrument in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. For a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument and changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized currently in earnings. For a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument, to the extent that it is effective, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to earnings as the hedged transaction impacts net income. Any ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge is recognized currently in earnings. For free-standing derivative instruments, changes in fair values are recognized currently in earnings. See Note 22 – Derivatives for additional information.

93

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported as operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Advertising and Public Relations. Advertising and public relations costs are generally expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes. FHN accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method pursuant to ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and liabilities (“DTLs”) for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, FHN’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the corresponding tax basis of certain assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Additionally, DTAs are subject to a “more likely than not” test to determine whether the full amount of the DTAs should be recognized in the financial statements. FHN evaluates the likelihood of realization of the DTA based on both positive and negative evidence available at the time, including (as appropriate) scheduled reversals of DTLs, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. If the “more likely than not” test is not met, a valuation allowance must be established against the DTA. In the event FHN determines that DTAs are realizable in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, FHN would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

FHN records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it is determined whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority is recognized. FHN’s ASC 740 policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax asset/liability line in the consolidated balance sheet.

FHN uses the flow-through method to account for federal investment tax credits earned on eligible research and development expenditures and for state investment tax credits. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense in the year they are earned.

FHN and its eligible subsidiaries are included in a consolidated federal income tax return. FHN files separate returns for subsidiaries that are not eligible to be included in a consolidated federal income tax return. Based on the laws of the applicable state where it conducts business operations, FHN either files consolidated, combined, or separate returns. With few exceptions, FHN is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013. FHN is currently under audit in several states.

Earnings per Share. Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share in net income periods is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive common shares resulting from restricted shares or units and options granted under FHN’s equity compensation plans and deferred compensation arrangements had been issued. FHN utilizes the treasury stock method in this calculation. Diluted earnings per share does not reflect an adjustment for potentially dilutive shares in periods in which a net loss available to common shareholders exists.

Equity Compensation. FHN accounts for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the grant date fair value of an award to determine the expense to be recognized over the life of the award. Stock options are valued using an option-pricing model, such as Black-Scholes. Restricted and performance shares and share units are valued at the stock price on the grant date. Awards with post-vesting transfer restrictions are discounted using models that reflect market considerations for illiquidity. For awards with service vesting criteria, expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period (generally the

vesting period) and is adjusted for anticipated forfeitures. For awards vesting based on a performance measure, anticipated performance is projected to determine the number of awards expected to vest, and the corresponding aggregate expense is adjusted to reflect the elapsed portion of the performance period. If a performance period extends beyond the required service term, total expense is adjusted for changes in estimated achievement through the end of the performance period. The fair value of equity awards with cash payout requirements, as well as awards for which fair value cannot be estimated at grant date, is remeasured each reporting period through vesting date. Performance awards with pre-grant date achievement criteria are expensed over the period from the start of the performance period through the end of the service vesting term. Awards are amortized using the nonsubstantive vesting methodology which requires that expense associated with awards having only service vesting criteria that continue vesting after retirement be recognized over a period ending no later than an employee’s retirement eligibility date.

Repurchase and Foreclosure Provision. The repurchase and foreclosure provision is the charge to earnings necessary to maintain the liability at a level that reflects management’s best estimate of losses associated with the repurchase of loans previously transferred in whole loans sales or securitizations, or make whole requests as of the balance sheet date. See Note 17 – Contingencies and Other Disclosures for discussion related to FHN’s obligations to repurchase such loans.

Legal Costs. Generally, legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Contingency Accruals. Contingent liabilities arise in the ordinary course of business, including those related to lawsuits, arbitration, mediation, and other forms of litigation. FHN establishes loss contingency liabilities for matters when loss is both probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with ASC 450-20-50 “Contingencies – Accruals for Loss Contingencies”. If loss for a matter is probable and a range of possible loss outcomes is the best estimate available, accounting guidance generally requires a liability to be established at the low end of the range. Expected recoveries from insurance and indemnification arrangements are recognized if they are considered equally as probable and reasonably estimable as the related loss contingency up to the recognized amount of the estimated loss. Gain contingencies and expected recoveries from insurance and indemnification arrangements in excess of the associated recorded estimated losses are recognized when received. Recognized recoveries are recorded as offsets to the related expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The favorable resolution of a gain contingency generally results in the recognition of other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Summary of Accounting Changes. Effective January 1, 2016, FHN early adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-05, “Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships,” on a prospective basis. ASU 2016-05 clarifies that a change in the counterparty of a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument in an accounting hedge relationship does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. FHN considers the revised guidance to better reflect the nature of hedge accounting relationships by clarifying that, when considered solely, the counterparty is not a critical term in a hedge relationship. Because FHN has applied specific SEC staff guidance for novation (to facilitate central clearing requirements) of derivatives to prior and existing accounting hedge relationships, adoption of ASU 2016-05 had no effect on FHN.

Effective January 1, 2016, FHN early adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-06, “Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments,” which resolves diversity in practice for the bifurcation assessment when a contingent put or call option is embedded within a hybrid debt instrument. ASU 2016-06 clarifies that an entity is not required to assess whether the triggering event is related to interest rate or credit risks when performing the bifurcation analysis. FHN’s existing bifurcation assessment process conforms to the methodology outlined in ASU 2016-06.

Effective January 1, 2016, FHN adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition in determining expense recognition for the award. Thus, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period based on the

95

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

probability of achievement of the performance condition. Expense is adjusted after the requisite service period for changes in the probability of achievement. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 had no effect on FHN.

Effective January 1, 2016, FHN adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” ASU 2015-02 revises current consolidation guidance to modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities. ASU 2015-02 also eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, revises the consolidation analysis for reporting entities that have fee arrangements and related party relationships with variable interest entities, and provides a scope exception for entities with interests in registered money market funds. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 had no significant effect on FHN.

Effective January 1, 2016, FHN adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying value of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 requires application on a retrospective basis, with prior periods revised to reflect the effects of adoption. Consistent with prior requirements, FHN previously classified debt issuance costs within Other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 had no effect on FHN’s recognition of interest expense. The effects of the retrospective application of the change in presentation of debt issuance costs are summarized in the table below.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If such events or conditions exist, additional disclosures are required and management should evaluate whether its plans sufficiently alleviate the substantial doubt. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and all interim and annual periods thereafter. The provisions of ASU 2014-15 did not affect FHN.

Accounting Changes Issued but Not Currently Effective In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 does not change revenue recognition for financial assets. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This is accomplished through a five-step recognition framework involving 1) the identification of contracts with customers, 2) identification of performance obligations, 3) determination of the transaction price, 4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations and 5) recognition of revenue as performance obligations are satisfied. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative information is required for disclosure regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations,” which provides additional guidance on whether an entity should recognize revenue on a gross or net basis, based on which party controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” which clarifies the original guidance included in ASU 2014-09 for identification of the goods or services provided to customers and enhances the implementation guidance for licensing arrangements. ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” was issued in May 2016 to provide additional guidance for the implementation and application of ASU 2014-09. “Technical Corrections and Improvements” ASU 2016-20 was issued in December 2016 and provides further guidance on certain issues. These ASUs are effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods

96

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

beginning after December 15, 2016, and associated interim periods. Transition to the new requirements may be made by retroactively revising prior financial statements (with certain practical expedients permitted) or by a cumulative effect through retained earnings. If the latter option is selected, additional disclosures are required for comparability. FHN will not early adopt these ASUs and is evaluating their effects on its revenue recognition practices. Currently, FHN anticipates that it will elect to adopt the provisions of the revenue recognition standards through a cumulative effect to retained earnings with comparability disclosures provided throughout 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 makes several revisions to the accounting, presentation and disclosure for financial instruments. Equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method, those that result in consolidation of the investee, and those held by entities subject to specialized industry accounting which already apply fair value through earnings) are required to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This excludes FRB and FHLB stock holdings which are specifically exempted from the provisions of ASU 2016-01. An entity may elect to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable market values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar instruments from the same issuer. ASU 2016-01 also requires a qualitative impairment review for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, with measurement at fair value required if impairment is determined to exist. For liabilities for which fair value has been elected, ASU 2016-01 revises current accounting to record the portion of fair value changes resulting from instrument-specific credit risk within other comprehensive income rather than earnings. FHN has not elected fair value accounting for any existing financial liabilities. Additionally, ASU 2016-01 clarifies that the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities should be assessed in combination with all other deferred tax assets rather than being assessed in isolation. ASU 2016-01 also makes several changes to existing fair value presentation and disclosure requirements, including a provision that all disclosures must use an exit price concept in the determination of fair value. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Transition will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for equity investments with readily determinable fair values. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values, for which the accounting election is made, will have any initial fair value marks recorded through earnings prospectively after adoption.

Upon adoption, FHN will reclassify all equity investments out of available-for-sale securities, leaving only debt securities within this classification. FHN has evaluated the nature of its current equity investments and determined that substantially all qualify for the election available to assets without readily determinable fair values, including its holdings of Visa Class B shares. Accordingly, FHN intends to apply this election and any fair value marks for these investments will be recognized through earnings on a prospective basis subsequent to adoption. FHN continues to evaluate the appropriate characteristics of “similar” instruments as well as related valuation inputs and methodologies for its equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The requirements of ASU 2016-01 related to assessment of deferred tax assets and disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments will not have a significant effect on FHN because its current accounting and disclosure practices conform to the requirements of ASU 2016-01. FHN also continues to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-01 on other aspects of its current accounting and disclosure practices.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires a lessee to recognize in its statement of condition a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 leaves lessor accounting largely unchanged from prior standards. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All other leases must be classified as financing or operating leases which depends on the relationship of the lessee’s rights to the economic value of the leased asset. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability is recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in earnings, resulting in higher expense in the earlier portion of the lease term. For operating leases, a single lease cost is calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis.

97

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In transition to ASU 2016-02, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply, which would result in continuing to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous requirements (unless the lease is modified) except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous requirements. ASU 2016-02 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FHN is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its current accounting and disclosure practices.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, “Recognition of Breakage of Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products,” which indicates that liabilities related to the sale of prepaid stored-value products are considered financial liabilities and should have a breakage estimate applied for estimated unused funds. ASU 2016-04 does not apply to stored-value products that can only be redeemed for cash, are subject to escheatment or are linked to a segregated bank account. ASU 2016-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. FHN is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-04 on its current accounting and disclosure practices.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which makes several revisions to equity compensation accounting. Under the new guidance all excess tax benefits and deficiencies that occur when an award vests, is exercised, or expires will be recognized in income tax expense as discrete period items. Previously, these transactions were typically recorded directly within equity. Consistent with this change, excess tax benefits and deficiencies will no longer be included within estimated proceeds when performing the treasury stock method for calculation of diluted earnings per share. Excess tax benefits will also be recognized at the time an award is exercised or vests compared to the current requirement to delay recognition until the deduction reduces taxes payable. The presentation of excess tax benefits in the statement of cash flows will shift to an operating activity from the current classification as a financing activity.

ASU 2016-09 also provides an accounting policy election to recognize forfeitures of awards as they occur when estimating stock-based compensation expense rather than the current requirement to estimate forfeitures from inception. Further, ASU 2016-09 permits employers to use a net-settlement feature to withhold taxes on equity compensation awards up to the maximum statutory tax rate without affecting the equity classification of the award. Under current guidance, withholding of equity awards in excess of the minimum statutory requirement results in liability classification for the entire award. The related cash remittance by the employer for employee taxes will be treated as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Transition to the new guidance will be accomplished through a combination of retrospective, cumulative-effect adjustment to equity and prospective methodologies. FHN estimates, based on currently enacted tax rates, that adoption of ASU 2016-09 in 2017 will result in an incremental effect on tax provision ranging from $4.0 million of tax benefit to $2.0 million of additional tax provision. The actual effects of adoption are primarily dependent upon the share price of the FHN’s common stock, which affects the vesting of certain performance awards, probability of exercise of certain stock options and the magnitude of windfalls for all awards upon either vesting or exercise. The effects on earnings per share calculations and election to account for forfeitures as incurred are not anticipated to be significant.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which revises the measurement and recognition of credit losses for assets measured at amortized cost (e.g., held-to-maturity (“HTM”) loans and debt securities) and available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. Under ASU 2016-13, for assets measured at amortized cost, the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) is measured as the difference between amortized cost and the net amount expected to be collected. This represents a departure from existing GAAP as the “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The measurement of current expected credit losses is based on relevant

98

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 1  q  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Additionally, current disclosures of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables will be further disaggregated by year of origination. ASU 2016-13 leaves the methodology for measuring credit losses on AFS debt securities largely unchanged, with the maximum credit loss representing the difference between amortized cost and fair value. However, such credit losses will be recognized through an allowance for credit losses, which permits recovery of previously recognized credit losses if circumstances change.

ASU 2016-13 also revises the recognition of credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”). For PCD assets, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price. Only subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a credit loss expense for PCD assets. Interest income for PCD assets will be recognized based on the effective interest rate, excluding the discount embedded in the purchase price that is attributable to the acquirer’s assessment of credit losses at acquisition. Currently, credit losses for purchased credit-impaired assets are included in the initial basis of the assets with subsequent declines in credit resulting in expense while subsequent improvements in credit are reflected as an increase in the future yield from the assets.

The provisions of ASU 2016-13 will be generally adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in the year of adoption. Prospective implementation is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) had been previously recognized. Amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as of the date of adoption that relate to improvements in cash flows expected to be collected will continue to be accreted into income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after the date of adoption will be recorded in earnings when received. A prospective transition approach will be used for existing PCD assets where, upon adoption, the amortized cost basis will be adjusted to reflect the addition of the allowance for credit losses. Thus, an entity will not be required to reassess its purchased financial assets that exist as of the date of adoption to determine whether they would have met at acquisition the new criteria of more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination. An entity will accrete the remaining noncredit discount (based on the revised amortized cost basis) into interest income at the effective interest rate at the adoption date.

ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. FHN is still evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its current accounting and disclosure practices.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which clarifies multiple cash flow presentation issues including providing guidance as to classification on the cash flow statement for certain cash receipts and cash payments where diversity in practice exists. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-15 should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. FHN is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-15 on its current cash flow presentation practices.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” which requires recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Therefore, ASU 2016-16 reverses the current requirement to delay recognition of the tax consequences of these transactions until the associated assets are sold to an outside party. The provisions of ASU 2016-16 will be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption for previous intra-entity transfers. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued. FHN is early adopting ASU 2016-16 effective January 1, 2017, for its intra-entity asset transfers and there will not be a significant financial statement effect.

Note 2  q  Acquisitions and Divestitures

On October 27, 2016, FTN Financial announced its plan to acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of Coastal Securities, Inc. (“Coastal”), a national leader in the trading, securitization, and analysis of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, for approximately $160 million in cash. Based in Houston, TX, Coastal also trades United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) loans and fixed income products and provides municipal underwriting and advisory services to its clients. Coastal’s government-guaranteed loan products, combined with FTN Financial’s existing SBA trading activities, will establish an additional major product sector for FTN Financial. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017.

On September 16, 2016, FTBNA acquired $537.4 million in unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of restaurant franchise loans from GE Capital’s Southeast and Southwest regional portfolios. Subsequent to the acquisition the acquired loans were combined with existing FTBNA relationships to establish a franchise finance specialty lending business.

On October 2, 2015, FHN completed its acquisition of TrustAtlantic Financial Corporation (“TrustAtlantic Financial” or “TAF”), and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary TrustAtlantic Bank (“TAB”), for an aggregate of 5,093,657 shares of FHN common stock and $23.9 million in cash in a transaction valued at $96.7 million. Prior to the acquisition TAF and TAB were headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, where TAB had five branches located in the communities of Raleigh, Cary and Greenville. TAB merged into FTBNA on October 16, 2015 and the TAB branches became First Tennessee branches upon closing that merger. The acquisition expanded and strengthened FHN’s market share in its Mid-Atlantic region.

Note 2  q  Acquisitions and Divestitures (continued)

In relation to the acquisition, FHN recorded $45.4 million in goodwill, representing the excess of acquisition consideration over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired (refer to Note 7 – Intangible Assets for additional information). This goodwill is the result of expected operational synergies, expansion in the Mid-Atlantic region and other factors, and only an immaterial amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. FHN’s operating results for 2016 and 2015 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of TAF subsequent to the acquisition on October 2, 2015.

On October 17, 2014, First Tennessee Bank National Association (“FTBNA”) purchased thirteen bank branches in Middle and East Tennessee. The fair value of the acquired assets totaled $437.6 million, including $413.4 million in cash, $7.5 million in fixed assets, and $15.7 million of goodwill and intangible assets. FTBNA also assumed $437.2 million of deposits associated with these branches. FTBNA paid a deposit premium of 3.32 percent and acquired an immaterial amount of loans as part of the transaction. In relation to the branch acquisition FHN recorded $4.0 million in goodwill, representing the excess of the estimated fair value of liabilities assumed over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired (refer to Note 7 – Intangible Assets for additional information), all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. FHN’s operating results for 2016, 2015 and 2014 include the impact of branch activity subsequent to the October 17, 2014 closing date.

In addition to the transactions mentioned above, FHN acquires or divests assets from time to time in transactions that are considered business combination or divestitures but are not material to FHN individually or in the aggregate.

FHN has reviewed investment securities that were in unrealized loss positions in accordance with its accounting policy for OTTI and does not consider them other-than-temporarily impaired. For debt securities with unrealized losses, FHN does not intend to sell them and it is more-likely-than-not that FHN will not be required to sell them prior to recovery. The decline in value is primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit losses. For equity securities, FHN has both the ability and intent to hold these securities for the time necessary to recover the amortized cost.

Balances as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, include $35.9 million and $52.8 million of restricted real estate loans, respectively. See Note 21 – Variable Interest Entities for additional information.

COMPONENTS OF THE LOAN PORTFOLIO

The loan portfolio is disaggregated into segments and then further disaggregated into classes for certain disclosures. GAAP defines a portfolio segment as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses. A class is generally determined based on the initial measurement attribute (i.e., amortized cost or purchased credit-impaired), risk characteristics of the loan, and FHN’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. Commercial loan portfolio segments include commercial, financial and industrial (“C&I”) and commercial real estate (“CRE”). Commercial classes within C&I include general C&I, loans to mortgage companies, the trust preferred loans (“TRUPS”) (i.e. long-term unsecured loans to bank and insurance – related businesses) portfolio and purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans. Loans to mortgage companies include commercial lines of credit to qualified mortgage companies primarily for the temporary warehousing of eligible mortgage loans prior to the borrower’s sale of those mortgage loans to third party investors. Commercial classes within CRE include income CRE, residential CRE and PCI loans. Consumer loan portfolio segments include consumer real estate, permanent mortgage, and the credit card and other portfolio. Consumer classes include home equity lines of credit (“HELOCs”), real estate (“R/E”) installment and PCI loans within the consumer real estate segment, permanent mortgage (which is both a segment and a class), and credit card and other.

Concentrations

FHN has a concentration of residential real estate loans (25 percent of total loans), the majority of which is in the consumer real estate segment (23 percent of total loans). Loans to finance and insurance companies total $2.6 billion (21 percent of the C&I portfolio, or 13 percent of the total loans). FHN had loans to mortgage companies totaling $2.0 billion (17 percent of the C&I segment, or 10 percent of total loans) as of December 31, 2016. As a result, 38 percent of the C&I segment is sensitive to impacts on the financial services industry.

Restrictions

On December 31, 2016, $7.3 billion of commercial loans were pledged to secure potential discount window borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank. Additionally, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, FHN pledged all of its held-to-maturity first and second lien mortgages and HELOCs, excluding restricted real estate loans to secure potential borrowings from the FHLB-Cincinnati. Restricted loans secure borrowings associated with consolidated VIEs. See Note 21 – Variable Interest Entities for additional discussion.

Note 4  q  Loans (continued)

Acquisition

On September 16, 2016, FHN completed its acquisition of franchise finance loans. The acquisition included $537.4 million in unpaid principal balance of loans.

Generally, the fair value for the acquired loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) including adjustments for expected credit losses, prepayment speeds, current market rates for similar loans, and an adjustment for investor-required yield given product-type and various risk characteristics.

At acquisition, FHN designated certain loans as PCI with the remaining loans accounted for under ASC 310-20, “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.” For loans accounted for under ASC 310-20, the difference between each loan’s book value and the estimated fair value at the time of the acquisition will be accreted into interest income over its remaining contractual life and the subsequent accounting and reporting will be similar to a loan in FHN’s originated portfolio.

At December 31, 2016, the ALLL related to PCI loans was $.7 million compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2015. Net charge-offs related to PCI loans during 2016 were $.4 million, compared to $1.1 million in 2015. The loan loss provision credit related to PCI loans was $.5 million during 2016 and 2015.

All discharged bankruptcy loans are charged down to an estimate of net realizable value and do not carry any allowance.

Asset Quality Indicators

FHN employs a dual grade commercial risk grading methodology to assign an estimate for the probability of default (“PD”) and the loss given default (“LGD”) for each commercial loan using factors specific to various industry, portfolio, or product segments that result in a rank ordering of risk and the assignment of grades PD 1 to PD 16. This credit grading system is intended to identify and measure the credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the migration of loans between grading categories. It is also integral to the estimation methodology utilized in determining the allowance for loan losses since an allowance is established for pools of commercial loans based on the credit grade assigned. Each PD grade corresponds to an estimated one-year default probability percentage; a PD 1 has the lowest expected default probability, and probabilities increase as grades progress down the scale. PD 1 through PD 12 are “pass” grades. PD grades 13-16 correspond to the regulatory-defined categories of special mention (13), substandard (14), doubtful (15), and loss (16). Pass loan grades are required to be reassessed annually or earlier whenever there has been a material change in the financial condition of the borrower or risk characteristics of the relationship. All commercial loans over $1 million and certain commercial loans over $500,000 that are graded 13 or worse are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Loan grading discipline is

Note 4  q  Loans (continued)

regularly reviewed internally by Credit Assurance Services to determine if the process continues to result in accurate loan grading across the portfolio. FHN may utilize availability of guarantors/sponsors to support lending decisions during the credit underwriting process and when determining the assignment of internal loan grades. LGD grades are assigned based on a scale of 1-12 and represent FHN’s expected recovery based on collateral type in the event a loan defaults.

The following tables provide the balances of commercial loan portfolio classes with associated allowance, disaggregated by PD grade as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Balances as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, presented net of a $25.5 million valuation allowance. Based on the underlying structure of the notes, the highest possible internal grade is “13”.

The consumer portfolio is comprised primarily of smaller-balance loans which are very similar in nature in that most are standard products and are backed by residential real estate. Because of the similarities of consumer loan-types, FHN is able to utilize the Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) score, among other attributes, to assess the credit quality of consumer borrowers. FICO scores are refreshed on a quarterly basis in an attempt to reflect the recent risk profile of the borrowers. Accruing delinquency amounts are indicators of asset quality within the credit card and other consumer portfolio.

The following table reflects the percentage of balances outstanding by average, refreshed FICO scores for the HELOC, real estate installment, and permanent mortgage classes of loans as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Note 4  q  Loans (continued)

Troubled Debt Restructurings

As part of FHN’s ongoing risk management practices, FHN attempts to work with borrowers when necessary to extend or modify loan terms to better align with their current ability to repay. Extensions and modifications to loans are made in accordance with internal policies and guidelines which conform to regulatory guidance. Each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately.

A modification is classified as a TDR if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and it is determined that FHN has granted a concession to the borrower. FHN may determine that a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty if the borrower is currently in default on any of its debt, or if it is probable that a borrower may default in the foreseeable future. Many aspects of a borrower’s financial situation are assessed when determining whether they are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions could include extension of the maturity date, reductions of the interest rate (which may make the rate lower than current market for a new loan with similar risk), reduction or forgiveness of accrued interest, or principal forgiveness. The assessments of whether a borrower is experiencing (or is likely to experience) financial difficulty, and whether a concession has been granted, are subjective in nature and management’s judgment is required when determining whether a modification is classified as a TDR.

For all classes within the commercial portfolio segment, TDRs are typically modified through forbearance agreements (generally 6 to 12 months). Forbearance agreements could include reduced interest rates, reduced payments, release of guarantor, or entering into short sale agreements. FHN’s proprietary modification programs for consumer loans are generally structured using parameters of U.S. government-sponsored programs such as the former Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”). Within the HELOC and R/E installment loans classes of the consumer portfolio segment, TDRs are typically modified by reducing the interest rate (in increments of 25 basis points to a minimum of 1 percent for up to 5 years) and a possible maturity date extension to reach an affordable housing debt-to-income ratio. After 5 years, the interest rate generally returns to the original interest rate prior to modification; for certain modifications, the modified interest rate increases 2 percent per year until the original interest rate prior to modification is achieved. Permanent mortgage TDRs are typically modified by reducing the interest rate (in increments of 25 basis points to a minimum of 2 percent for up to 5 years) and a possible maturity date extension to reach an affordable housing debt-to-income ratio. After 5 years, the interest rate steps up 1 percent every year until it reaches the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Weekly Survey Rate cap. Contractual maturities may be extended to 40 years on permanent mortgages and to 30 years for consumer real estate loans. Within the credit card class of the consumer portfolio segment, TDRs are typically modified through either a short-term credit card hardship program or a longer-term credit card workout program. In the credit card hardship program, borrowers may be granted rate and payment reductions for 6 months to 1 year. In the credit card workout program, customers are granted a rate reduction to 0 percent and term extensions for up to 5 years to pay off the remaining balance.

Despite the absence of a loan modification, the discharge of personal liability through bankruptcy proceedings is considered a concession. As a result, FHN classifies all non-reaffirmed residential real estate loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy as nonaccruing TDRs.

On December 31, 2016 and 2015, FHN had $285.2 million and $296.2 million portfolio loans classified as TDRs, respectively. For TDRs in the loan portfolio, FHN had loan loss reserves of $44.9 million and $50.1 million, or 16 percent as of December 31, 2016, and 17 percent as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, $69.3 million and $71.5 million of loans held-for-sale as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were classified as TDRs.

Note 5  q  Allowance for Loan Losses

As discussed in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Polices, the ALLL includes the following components: reserves for commercial loans evaluated based on pools of credit graded loans and reserves for pools of smaller-balance homogeneous consumer loans, both determined in accordance with ASC 450-20-50, and to a lesser extent, reserves determined in accordance with ASC 310-10-35 for loans determined by management to be individually impaired and an allowance associated with PCI loans.

For commercial loans, ASC 450-20-50 reserves are established using historical net loss factors by grade level, loan product, and business segment. The ALLL for smaller-balance homogenous consumer loans is determined based on pools of similar loan types that have similar credit risk characteristics. ASC 450-20-50 reserves for the consumer portfolio are determined using segmented roll-rate models that incorporate various factors including historical delinquency trends, experienced loss frequencies, and experienced loss severities. Generally, reserves for consumer loans reflect inherent losses in the portfolio that are expected to be recognized over the following twelve months. The historical net loss factors for both commercial and consumer ASC 450-20-50 reserve models are subject to qualitative adjustments by management to reflect current events, trends, and conditions (including economic considerations and trends), which are not fully captured in the historical net loss factors. The pace of the economic recovery, performance of the housing market, unemployment levels, labor participation rate, the regulatory environment, regulatory guidance, and portfolio segment-specific trends, are examples of additional factors considered by management in determining the ALLL. Additionally, management considers the inherent uncertainty of quantitative models that are driven by historical loss data. Management evaluates the periods of historical losses that are the basis for the loss rates used in the quantitative models and selects historical loss periods that are believed to be the most reflective of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Management also periodically reviews an analysis of the loss emergence period which is the amount of time it takes for a loss to be confirmed (initial charge-off) after a loss event has occurred. FHN performs extensive studies as it relates to the historical loss periods used in the model and the loss emergence period and model assumptions are adjusted accordingly.

Impairment related to individually impaired loans is measured in accordance with ASC 310-10. For all commercial portfolio segments, commercial TDRs and other individually impaired commercial loans are measured based on the present value of expected future payments discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate (“the DCF method”), observable market prices, or for loans that are solely dependent on the collateral for repayment, the net realizable value (collateral value less estimated costs to sell). Impaired loans also include consumer TDRs. Generally, the allowance for TDRs in all consumer portfolio segments is determined by estimating the expected future cash flows using the modified interest rate (if an interest rate concession), incorporating payoff and net charge-off rates specific to the TDRs within the portfolio segment being assessed, and discounted using the pre-modification interest rate. The discount rates of variable rate TDRs are adjusted to reflect changes in the interest rate index to which the rates are tied. The discounted cash flows are then compared to the outstanding principal balance in order to determine required reserves. Residential real estate loans discharged through bankruptcy are collateral-dependent and are charged down to net realizable value (collateral value less estimated costs to sell).

(c)

 

The 2016 increase in goodwill was for tax adjustments related to the TAF acquisition.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of other intangible assets subject to amortization is $72.3 million and $51.3 million, respectively on December 31, 2016. Estimated aggregate amortization expense is expected to be $4.9 million, $4.7 million, $4.5 million, $1.7 million, and $1.6 million for the twelve-month periods of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively.

Gross goodwill, accumulated impairments, and accumulated divestiture related write-offs were determined beginning January 1, 2012, when a change in accounting requirements resulted in goodwill being assessed for impairment rather than being amortized. Gross goodwill of $200.0 million with accumulated impairments and accumulated divestiture-related write-offs of $114.1 million and $85.9 million, respectively, were previously allocated to the non-strategic segment, resulting in $0 net goodwill allocated to the non-strategic segment as of December 31, 2015 and 2016. The regional banking and fixed income segments do not have any accumulated impairments or divestiture related write-offs. The following is a summary of goodwill by reportable segment included in the Consolidated Statements of Condition as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Note 11  q  Preferred Stock

FHN Preferred Stock

On January 31, 2013, FHN issued 1,000 shares having an aggregate liquidation preference of $100 million of Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A for net proceeds of approximately $96 million. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, if declared, accrue and are payable quarterly, in arrears, at a rate of 6.20 percent per annum. For the issuance, FHN issued depositary shares, each of which represents a 1/4000th fractional ownership interest in a share of FHN’s preferred stock. These securities qualify as Tier 1 capital.

Subsidiary Preferred Stock

In 2000 FT Real Estate Securities Company, Inc. (“FTRESC”), an indirect subsidiary of FHN, issued 50 shares of 9.50 percent Cumulative Preferred Stock, Class B (“Class B Preferred Shares”), with a liquidation preference of $1.0 million per share; of those, 47 shares were issued to nonaffiliates. As of December 31, 2016, these securities partially qualify as Tier 2 capital and are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Condition as Term borrowings. FTRESC is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) established for the purpose of acquiring, holding, and managing real estate mortgage assets. Dividends on the Class B Preferred Shares are cumulative and are payable semi-annually.

The Class B Preferred Shares are mandatorily redeemable on March 31, 2031, and redeemable at the discretion of FTRESC in the event that the Class B Preferred Shares cannot be accounted for as Tier 2 regulatory capital or there is more than an insubstantial risk that dividends paid with respect to the Class B Preferred Shares will not be fully deductible for tax purposes. At December 31, 2016 the Class B Preferred Shares partially qualified as Tier 2 regulatory capital and the shares will be fully phased out of Tier 2 regulatory capital in 2018. They are not subject to any sinking fund and are not convertible into any other securities of FTRESC, FHN, or any of its subsidiaries. The shares are, however, automatically exchanged at the direction of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for preferred stock of FTBNA, having substantially the same terms as the Class B Preferred Shares in the event FTBNA becomes undercapitalized, insolvent, or in danger of becoming undercapitalized.

Additionally for all periods presented, subsidiaries have also issued $.6 million in aggregate of Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, which has been recognized as Noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Other preferred shares are outstanding but are owned by FHN subsidiaries and are eliminated in consolidation.

In 2005 FTBNA issued 300,000 shares of Class A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Class A Preferred Stock”) with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Dividends on the Class A Preferred Stock, if declared, accrue and are payable each quarter, in arrears, at a floating rate equal to the greater of the three month LIBOR plus .85 percent or 3.75 percent per annum. These securities qualify fully as Tier 1 capital for FTBNA while for FHN consolidated they qualify partially as Tier 1 capital and partially as Tier 2 capital. On December 31, 2016 and 2015, $294.8 million of Class A Preferred Stock was recognized as Noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Statements of Condition.

Note 12  q  Regulatory Capital and Restrictions

Regulatory Capital. FHN and FTBNA are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the 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 FHN’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain derivatives as calculated under regulatory accounting practices must be met. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgment by the regulators such as capital components, asset risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require FHN and FTBNA to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total, Tier 1, and Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (“Leverage”). Management believes that, as of December 31, 2016, FHN and FTBNA met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

The actual capital amounts and ratios of FHN and FTBNA are presented in the table below.

Restrictions on cash and due from banks. Under the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation D, FTBNA is required to maintain a certain amount of cash reserves. On December 31, 2016 and 2015, FTBNA’s net required reserves were $259.2 million and $188.3 million, respectively, after the consideration of $158.9 million and $146.6 million in average vault cash. The remaining net reserve requirement for each year was met with Federal Reserve Bank deposits. Vault cash is reflected in Cash and due from banks on the Consolidated Statements of Condition and Federal Reserve Bank deposits are reflected as Interest-bearing cash.

Note 12  q  Regulatory Capital and Restrictions (continued)

Restrictions on dividends. Cash dividends are paid by FHN from its assets, which are mainly provided by dividends from its subsidiaries. Certain regulatory restrictions exist regarding the ability of FTBNA to transfer funds to FHN in the form of cash, dividends, loans, or advances. As of December 31, 2016, FTBNA had undivided profits of $838.7 million, of which none was available for distribution to FHN as dividends without prior regulatory approval. At any given time, the pertinent portions of those regulatory restrictions allow FTBNA to declare preferred or common dividends without prior regulatory approval in an amount equal to FTBNA’s retained net income for the two most recent completed years plus the current year to date. For any period, FTBNA’s ‘retained net income’ generally is equal to FTBNA’s regulatory net income reduced by the preferred and common dividends declared by FTBNA. Excess dividends in either of the two most recent completed years may be offset with available retained net income in the two years immediately preceding it. Applying the applicable rules, FTBNA’s total amount available for dividends was negative $132.5 million at December 31, 2016 and at January 1, 2017. FTBNA applied for and received approval from the OCC to declare and pay common dividends to the parent company in the amount of $40.0 million in first quarter 2017, $250.0 million in 2016, and $325.0 million in 2015. During 2016 and 2015, FTBNA declared and paid dividends on its preferred stock quarterly, with OCC approval as necessary. Additionally, FTBNA’s Board has received approval from the OCC to declare and pay and has declared dividends on its preferred stock outstanding payable in April 2017.

The payment of cash dividends by FHN and FTBNA may also be affected or limited by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. For example, beginning in 2016, the ability to pay dividends is restricted if capital ratios fall below regulatory minimums plus a prescribed capital conservation buffer. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve and the OCC require insured banks and bank holding companies only to pay dividends out of current operating earnings. Consequently, the decision of whether FHN will pay future dividends and the amount of dividends will be affected by current operating results.

Restrictions on intercompany transactions. Under current Federal banking law, FTBNA may not enter into covered transactions with any affiliate including the parent company and certain financial subsidiaries in excess of 10 percent of the bank’s capital stock and surplus, as defined, or $312.4 million, on December 31, 2016. Covered transactions include a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate, a purchase of or an investment in securities issued by an affiliate and the acceptance of securities issued by the affiliate as collateral for any loan or extension of credit. The equity investment, including retained earnings, in certain of a bank’s financial subsidiaries is also treated as a covered transaction. The parent company had covered transactions of $.4 million from FTBNA and the bank’s financial subsidiary, FTN Financial Securities Corp., had a total equity investment from FTBNA of $361.9 million on December 31, 2016. Since the equity investment FTBNA has in FTN Financial Securities Corp. exceeds the 10 percent per affiliate limit, FTBNA cannot engage in any additional covered transactions with this affiliate and the banking regulators could require FTBNA to reduce its equity investment so that it is within the limit. In addition, the aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates, as defined, is limited to 20 percent of the bank’s capital stock and surplus, as defined, or $624.8 million, on December 31, 2016. FTBNA’s total covered transactions with all affiliates including the parent company on December 31, 2016 were $362.2 million.

A deferred tax asset (“DTA”) or deferred tax liability (“DTL”) is recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax consequence is calculated by applying enacted statutory tax rates, applicable to future years, to these temporary differences. In order to support the recognition of the DTA, FHN’s management must believe that the realization of the DTA is more likely than not. FHN evaluates the likelihood of realization of the DTA based on both positive and negative evidence available at the time, including (as appropriate) scheduled reversals of DTLs, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the carryforwards attributable to the DTA. In projecting future taxable income, FHN incorporates assumptions including the estimated amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying business.

As of December 31, 2016, the gross DTA is $337.6 million. The gross DTL is $97.4 million as of December 31, 2016. Management has assessed the ability to realize the gross DTA based on positive and negative evidence and on the basis of this evaluation, a valuation allowance of $40.6 million was recorded as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, FHN established a valuation allowance of $40.4 million and $40.5 million, respectively, against its 2012 federal capital loss carryforward because of the uncertainty that it would be utilized before it expires in 2017. The DTA after the valuation allowance is $297.0 million as of December 31, 2016. Although realization is not assured, FHN believes that it meets the more-likely-than-not requirement with respect to the net DTA after valuation allowance.

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to agree with current presentation.

The total unrecognized tax benefits (“UTB”) at December 31, 2016 and 2015, was $4.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. To the extent such unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2016 are subsequently recognized, $1.8 million of tax benefits would impact tax expense and FHN’s effective tax rate in future periods.

FHN is currently in audit in several jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the UTB related to state exposures could decrease by $.4 million during 2017 if audits are completed and settled and if the applicable statutes of limitations expire as scheduled.

FHN recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to UTB within income tax expense. FHN had approximately $.3 million and $.1 million accrued for the payment of interest as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income during 2016 and 2015 was an expense of $.2 million and a benefit of $.8 million, respectively.

Note 17  q  Contingencies and Other Disclosures

Contingencies

Contingent Liabilities Overview

Contingent liabilities arise in the ordinary course of business. Often they are related to lawsuits, arbitration, mediation, and other forms of litigation. Various litigation matters are threatened or pending against FHN and its subsidiaries. Also, FHN at times receives requests for information, subpoenas, or other inquiries from federal, state, and local regulators, from other government authorities, and from other parties concerning various matters relating to FHN’s current or former lines of business. Certain matters of that sort are pending at this time, and FHN is cooperating in those matters. Pending and threatened litigation matters sometimes are resolved in court or before an arbitrator, and sometimes are settled by the parties. Regardless of the manner of resolution, frequently the most significant changes in status of a matter occur over a short time period, often following a lengthy period of little substantive activity. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of these matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages, or where the cases present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, or where claims or other actions may be possible but have not been brought, FHN cannot reasonably determine what the eventual outcome of the matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters may be, or what the eventual loss or impact related to each matter may be. FHN establishes a loss contingency liability for a litigation matter when loss is both probable and reasonably estimable as prescribed by applicable financial accounting guidance. If loss for a matter is probable and a range of possible loss outcomes is the best estimate available, accounting guidance requires a liability to be established at the low end of the range.

Based on current knowledge, and after consultation with counsel, management is of the opinion that loss contingencies related to threatened or pending litigation matters should not have a material adverse effect on the

128

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 17  q  Contingencies and Other Disclosures (continued)

consolidated financial condition of FHN, but may be material to FHN’s operating results for any particular reporting period depending, in part, on the results from that period.

Material Loss Contingency Matters

Summary

As used in this Note, “material loss contingency matters” generally fall into at least one of the following categories: (i) FHN has determined material loss to be probable and has established a material loss liability in accordance with applicable financial accounting guidance, other than certain matters reported as having been substantially settled or otherwise substantially resolved; (ii) FHN has determined material loss to be probable but is not reasonably able to estimate an amount or range of material loss liability; or (iii) FHN has determined that material loss is not probable but is reasonably possible, and that the amount or range of that reasonably possible material loss is estimable. As defined in applicable accounting guidance, loss is reasonably possible if there is more than a remote chance of a material loss outcome for FHN. Set forth below are disclosures for certain pending or threatened litigation matters, including all matters mentioned in (i) or (ii) and certain matters mentioned in (iii). In addition, certain other matters, or groups of matters, are discussed relating to FHN’s former mortgage origination and servicing businesses. In all litigation matters discussed, unless settled or otherwise resolved, FHN believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to pursue those defenses vigorously.

FHN reassesses the liability for litigation matters each quarter as the matters progress. At December 31, 2016, the aggregate amount of liabilities established for all such loss contingency matters was $28.0 million. These liabilities are separate from those discussed under the heading “Repurchase and Foreclosure Liability” below.

In each material loss contingency matter, except as otherwise noted, there is more than a remote chance that any of the following outcomes will occur: the plaintiff will substantially prevail; the defense will substantially prevail; the plaintiff will prevail in part; or the matter will be settled by the parties. At December 31, 2016, FHN estimates that for all material loss contingency matters, estimable reasonably possible losses in future periods in excess of currently established liabilities could aggregate in a range from zero to approximately $52 million.

As a result of the general uncertainties discussed above and the specific uncertainties discussed for each matter mentioned below, it is possible that the ultimate future loss experienced by FHN for any particular matter may materially exceed the amount, if any, of currently established liability for that matter. That possibility exists both for matters included in the estimated reasonably possible loss (“RPL”) range mentioned above and for matters not included in that range.

Material Matters

FHN, along with multiple co-defendants, is defending lawsuits brought by investors which claim that the offering documents under which certificates relating to First Horizon branded securitizations were sold to them were materially deficient. Two of those matters are material: (1) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver for Colonial Bank, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama (Case No. CV-12-791-WKW-WC); and (2) FDIC as receiver for Colonial Bank, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 12 Civ. 6166 (LLS)(MHD)). The plaintiff in those suits claims to have purchased (and later sold) certificates in a number of separate securitizations and demands damages and prejudgment interest, among several remedies sought. At year-end 2016 both matters were pending, but in January 2017 the parties settled the Alabama matter. The material loss contingency liability mentioned above includes an amount for the Alabama matter, which had not been paid at year-end. The current RPL estimate for the remaining matter is subject to significant uncertainties regarding: the dollar amounts claimed; the potential remedies that might be available or awarded; the outcome of any settlement discussions; the availability of significantly dispositive defenses; and the incomplete status of the discovery process. FDIC’s claims in

129

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 17  q  Contingencies and Other Disclosures (continued)

the New York matter relate to alleged purchases totaling $83.4 million. Additional information concerning FHN’s former mortgage businesses is provided below in “Obligations from Legacy Mortgage Businesses.”

Underwriters are co-defendants in the FDIC-New York matter and have demanded, under provisions in the applicable underwriting agreements, that FHN indemnify them for their expenses and any losses they may incur. In addition, FHN has received indemnity demands from underwriters in certain other suits as to which investors claim to have purchased certificates in FH proprietary securitizations but as to which FHN has not been named a defendant.

For most pending indemnity claims FHN is unable to estimate an RPL range due to significant uncertainties regarding: claims as to which the claimant specifies no dollar amount; the potential remedies that might be available or awarded; the availability of significantly dispositive defenses such as statutes of limitations or repose; the outcome of potentially dispositive early-stage motions such as motions to dismiss; the incomplete status of the discovery process; the lack of a precise statement of damages; and lack of precedent claims. The alleged purchase prices of the certificates subject to pending indemnification claims, excluding the FDIC-New York matter, total $409.9 million.

FHN is defending a suit filed in January 2017 by the successor to a purchaser of other whole loans sold, ResCap Liquidating Trust, which is pending in the U.S District Court for the District of Minnesota (Case No. 17-CV-194). Plaintiff claims that FHN breached representations and warranties made in the loan sales, which occurred over many years, and that FHN is obligated to indemnify plaintiff for certain losses. The suit seeks make-whole and other damages, indemnification, a declaratory judgment, and other remedies. FHN is unable to estimate an RPL range for this matter due to significant uncertainties regarding, among other things: lack of information about the claims made; the prospects for potentially dispositive early-stage motions; the prospects for significantly dispositive defenses; the scope of potential remedies that might be available or awarded; lack of any discovery; lack of a precise statement of damages; and lack of precedent claims.

FHN has additional potential exposures related to its former mortgage businesses. A few of those matters have become litigation which FHN currently estimates are immaterial, some are non-litigation claims or threats, some are mere subpoenas or other requests for information, and in some areas FHN has no indication of any active or threatened dispute. Some of those matters might eventually result in loan repurchases or make-whole payments and could be included in the repurchase liability discussed below, and some might eventually result in damages or other litigation-oriented liability, but none are included in the material loss contingency liabilities mentioned above or in the RPL range mentioned above. Additional information concerning such exposures is provided below in “Obligations from Legacy Mortgage Businesses.”

Material Gain Contingency Matter

In second quarter 2015 FHN reached an agreement with DOJ and HUD to settle potential claims related to FHN’s underwriting and origination of loans insured by FHA. Under that agreement FHN paid $212.5 million. FHN believes that certain insurance policies, having an aggregate policy limit of $75 million, provide coverage for FHN’s losses and related costs. The insurers have denied and/or reserved rights to deny coverage. FHN has brought suit against the insurers to enforce the policies under Tennessee law. In connection with this litigation the previously recognized expenses associated with the settled matter may be recouped in part. Under applicable financial accounting guidance FHN has determined that although material gain from this litigation is not probable, there is a reasonably possible (more than remote) chance of a material gain outcome for FHN. FHN cannot determine a probable outcome that may result from this matter because of the uncertainty of the potential outcomes of the legal proceedings and also due to significant uncertainties regarding: legal interpretation of the relevant contracts; potential remedies that might be available or awarded; the ultimate effect of counterclaims asserted by the defendants; and incomplete discovery. Additional information concerning FHN’s former mortgage businesses is provided below in “Obligations from Legacy Mortgage Businesses.”

130

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 17  q  Contingencies and Other Disclosures (continued)

Obligations from Legacy Mortgage Businesses

The loss contingencies mentioned above under “Material Matters” stem from FHN’s former mortgage origination and servicing businesses. FHN retains potential for further exposure, in addition to the matters named, from those former businesses. The following discussion provides context and other information to enhance an understanding of those matters and exposures.

Overview

Prior to September 2008 FHN originated loans through its legacy mortgage business, primarily first lien home loans, with the intention of selling them. Sales typically were effected either as non-recourse whole-loan sales or through non-recourse proprietary securitizations. Conventional conforming single-family residential mortgage loans were sold predominately to two GSEs: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Also, federally insured or guaranteed whole loans were pooled, and payments to investors were guaranteed through Ginnie Mae. Many mortgage loan originations, especially nonconforming mortgage loans, were sold to investors, or certificate-holders, predominantly through FH proprietary securitizations but also, to a lesser extent, through other whole loans sold to private non-Agency purchasers. FHN used only one trustee for all of its FH proprietary securitizations. FHN also originated mortgage loans eligible for FHA insurance or VA guaranty. In addition, FHN originated and sold HELOCs and second lien mortgages through other whole loans sold to private purchasers and, to a lesser extent, through FH proprietary securitizations. Currently, only one FH securitization of HELOCs remains outstanding.

For non-recourse loan sales, FHN has exposure for repurchase of loans, make-whole damages, or other related damages, arising from claims that FHN breached its representations and warranties made at closing to the purchasers, including GSEs, other whole loan purchasers, and the trustee of FH proprietary securitizations.

During the time these legacy activities were conducted, FHN frequently sold mortgage loans “with servicing retained.” As a result, FHN accumulated substantial amounts of MSR on its balance sheet, as well as contractual servicing obligations and related deposits and receivables. FHN conducted a significant servicing business under its First Horizon Home Loans brand.

MI was required by GSE rules for certain of the loans sold to GSEs and was also provided for certain of the loans that were securitized. MI generally was provided for first lien loans sold or securitized having an LTV ratio at origination of greater than 80 percent.

In 2007, market conditions deteriorated to the point where mortgage-backed securitizations no longer could be sold economically; FHN’s last securitization occurred that year. FHN continued selling mortgage loans to GSEs until August 31, 2008, when FHN sold its national mortgage origination and servicing platforms along with a portion of its servicing assets and obligations. FHN contracted to have its remaining servicing obligations sub-serviced. Since the platform sale FHN has sold substantially all remaining servicing assets and obligations.

Certain mortgage-related terms used in this “Contingencies” section are defined in “Mortgage-Related Glossary” at the end of this Overview.

Repurchase and Make-Whole Obligations

Starting in 2009, FHN received a high number of claims either to repurchase loans from the purchaser or to pay the purchaser to “make them whole” for economic losses incurred. These claims have been driven primarily by loan delinquencies. In repurchase or make-whole claims a loan purchaser typically asserts that specified loans violated representations and warranties FHN made when the loans were sold. A significant majority of claims received overall have come from GSEs, and the remainder are from purchasers of other whole loan sales. FHN has not received a loan repurchase or make-whole claim from the FH proprietary securitization trustee.

131

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 17  q  Contingencies and Other Disclosures (continued)

Generally, FHN reviews each claim and MI cancellation notice individually. FHN’s responses include appeal, provide additional information, deny the claim (rescission), repurchase the loan or remit a make-whole payment, or reflect cancellation of MI.

After several years resolving repurchase and make-whole claims with each GSE on a loan-by-loan basis, in 2013 and 2014 FHN entered into DRAs with the GSEs, resolving at once a large fraction of potential claims. Starting in 2014, the overall number of such claims diminished substantially, primarily as a result of the DRAs. Each DRA resolved obligations associated with loans originated from 2000 to 2008, but certain obligations and loans were excluded. Under each DRA, FHN remains responsible for repurchase obligations related to certain excluded defects (such as title defects and violations of the GSE’s Charter Act) and FHN continues to have loan repurchase or monetary compensation obligations under the DRAs related to private mortgage insurance rescissions, cancellations, and denials (with certain exceptions). FHN also has exposure related to loans where there has been a prior bulk sale of servicing, as well as certain other whole-loan sales. With respect to loans where there has been a prior bulk sale of servicing, FHN is not responsible for MI cancellations and denials to the extent attributable to the acts of the current servicer.

While large portions of repurchase claims from the GSEs were settled with the DRAs, large-scale settlement of repurchase, make-whole, and indemnity claims with non-Agency claimants is not practical. Those claims are resolved case by case or, occasionally, with less-comprehensive settlements. In second quarter 2016, in the largest such settlement to date, FHN settled certain claims which reduced the repurchase and foreclosure liability and resulted in a reversal of certain prior provision expense. Such claims that are not resolved by the parties can, and sometimes have, become litigation.

FH Proprietary Securitization Actions

FHN has potential financial exposure from FH proprietary securitizations outside of the repurchase/make-whole process. Several investors in certificates sued FHN and others starting in 2009, and several underwriters or other counterparties have demanded that FHN indemnify and defend them in securitization lawsuits. The pending suits generally assert that disclosures made to investors in the offering and sale of certificates were legally deficient.

Servicing Obligations

FHN’s national servicing business was sold as part of the platform sale in 2008. A significant amount of MSR was sold at that time, and a significant amount was retained. The related servicing activities, including foreclosure and loss mitigation practices, not sold in 2008 were outsourced through a three-year subservicing arrangement (the “2008 subservicing agreement”) with the platform buyer (the “2008 subservicer”). The 2008 subservicing agreement expired in 2011 when FHN entered into a replacement agreement with a new subservicer (the “2011 subservicer”). In fourth quarter 2013, FHN contracted to sell a substantial majority of its remaining servicing obligations and servicing assets (including advances) to the 2011 subservicer. The servicing was transferred to the buyer in stages, and was substantially completed in first quarter 2014. The servicing still retained by FHN continues to be subserviced.

As servicer, FHN had contractual obligations to the owners of the loans (primarily GSEs) and securitization trustees, to handle billing, custodial, and other tasks related to each loan. Each subservicer undertook to perform those obligations on FHN’s behalf during the applicable subservicing period, although FHN legally remained the servicer of record for those loans that were subserviced.

The 2008 subservicer has been subject to a consent decree, and entered into a settlement agreement with regulators related to alleged deficiencies in servicing and foreclosure practices. The 2008 subservicer has made demands of FHN, under the 2008 subservicing agreement, to pay certain resulting costs and damages totaling $43.5 million. FHN disagrees with those demands and has made no payments. This disagreement has the potential to result in litigation and, in any such future litigation, the claim against FHN may be substantial.

132

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 17  q  Contingencies and Other Disclosures (continued)

A certificate holder has contacted FHN, threatening to make claims based on alleged deficiencies in servicing loans held in certain FH proprietary securitization trusts. The holder has sued the FH securitization trustee, but (to date) has not sued FHN. FHN cannot predict how this inquiry, or the trustee suit, will proceed nor whether any claim or suit, if made or brought against FHN, will be material to FHN.

Origination Data

From 2005 through 2008, FHN originated and sold $69.5 billion of mortgage loans to the Agencies. This includes $57.6 billion of loans sold to GSEs and $11.9 billion of loans guaranteed by Ginnie Mae. Although FHN conducted these businesses before 2005, GSE loans originated in 2005 through 2008 account for a substantial majority of all repurchase requests/make-whole claims received since the 2008 platform sale.

From 2005 through 2007, $26.7 billion of mortgage loans were included in FH proprietary securitizations.

Repurchase and Foreclosure Liability

The repurchase and foreclosure liability is comprised of reserves to cover estimated loss content in the active pipeline, estimated future inflows, as well as estimated loss content related to certain known claims not currently included in the active pipeline. FHN compares the estimated probable incurred losses determined under the applicable loss estimation approaches for the respective periods with current reserve levels. Changes in the estimated required liability levels are recorded as necessary through the repurchase and foreclosure provision.

Based on currently available information and experience to date, FHN has evaluated its loan repurchase, make-whole, and certain related exposures and has accrued for losses of $66.0 million and $115.6 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, including a smaller amount related to equity-lending junior lien loan sales. Accrued liabilities for FHN’s estimate of these obligations are reflected in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Charges/expense reversals to increase/decrease the liability are included within Repurchase and foreclosure provision on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimates are based upon currently available information and fact patterns that exist as of the balance sheet dates and could be subject to future changes. Changes to any one of these factors could significantly impact the estimate of FHN’s liability.

Government-Backed Mortgage Lending Programs

FHN’s FHA and VA program lending was substantial prior to the 2008 platform sale, and has continued at a much lower level since then. As lender, FHN made certain representations and warranties as to the compliance of the loans with program requirements. Over the past several years, most recently in first quarter 2015, FHN occasionally has recognized significant losses associated with settling claims and potential claims by government agencies, and by private parties asserting claims on behalf of agencies, related to these origination activities. At December 31, 2016, FHN had not accrued a liability for any matter related to these government lending programs, and no pending or known threatened matter related to these programs represented a material loss contingency described above.

Other FHN Mortgage Exposures

At December 31, 2016, FHN had not accrued a liability for exposure for repurchase of first-lien loans related to FH proprietary securitizations arising from claims from the trustee that FHN breached its representations and warranties in FH proprietary securitizations at closing. FHN’s trustee is a defendant in lawsuits in which the plaintiffs have asserted that the trustee has duties to review loans and otherwise to act against FHN outside of the duties specified in the applicable trust documents; FHN is not a defendant and is not able to assess what, if any, exposure FHN may have as a result of them.

FHN is defending, directly or as indemnitor, certain pending lawsuits brought by purchasers of certificates in FH proprietary securitizations or their assignees. FHN believes a new lawsuit based on federal securities claims that offering disclosures were deficient cannot be brought at this time due to the running of applicable limitation periods, but other investor claims, based on other legal theories, might still be possible. Due to sales of MSR starting in 2008, FHN has limited visibility into current loan information such as principal payoffs, refinance activity, delinquency trends, and loan modification activity.

Many non-GSE purchasers of whole loans from FHN included those loans in their own securitizations. Regarding such other whole loans sold, FHN made representations and warranties concerning the loans and provided indemnity covenants to the purchaser/securitizer. Typically the purchaser/securitizer assigned key contractual rights against FHN to the securitization trustee. As mentioned above, repurchase, make-whole, indemnity, and other monetary claims related to specific loans are included in the active pipeline and repurchase reserve. In addition, currently the following categories of actions are pending which involve FHN and other whole loans sold: (i) FHN has received indemnification requests from purchasers of loans or their assignees in cases where FHN is not a defendant; (ii) FHN has received subpoenas seeking loan reviews in cases where FHN is not a defendant; (iii) FHN has received repurchase demands from purchasers or their assignees; and (iv) FHN is a defendant in legal

actions involving FHN-originated other whole loans sold. At December 31, 2016, FHN’s repurchase and foreclosure liability considered certain known exposures from other whole loans sold.

Certain government entities have subpoenaed information from FHN and others. These entities include the FDIC (on behalf of certain failed banks) and the FHLBs of San Francisco, Atlanta, and Seattle, among others. These entities purport to act on behalf of several purchasers of FH proprietary securitizations, and of non-FH securitizations which included other whole loans sold. Collectively, the subpoenas seek information concerning: a number of FH proprietary securitizations and/or underlying loan originations; and originations of certain other whole loans sold which, in many cases, were included by the purchaser in its own securitizations. Some subpoenas fail to identify the specific investments made or loans at issue. Moreover, FHN has limited information regarding at least some of the loans under review. Unless and until a review (if related to specific loans) becomes an identifiable repurchase claim, the associated loans are not considered part of the active pipeline.

Visa Matters

FHN is a member of the Visa USA network. In October 2007, the Visa organization of affiliated entities completed a series of global restructuring transactions to combine its affiliated operating companies, including Visa USA, under a single holding company, Visa Inc. (“Visa”). Upon completion of the reorganization, the members of the Visa USA network remained contingently liable for certain Visa litigation matters (the “Covered Litigation”). Based on its proportionate membership share of Visa USA, FHN recognized a contingent liability in fourth quarter 2007 related to this contingent obligation. In March 2008, Visa completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and funded an escrow account from its IPO proceeds to be used to make payments related to the Visa litigation matters. FHN received approximately 2.4 million Class B shares in conjunction with Visa’s IPO.

Conversion of these shares into Class A shares of Visa is prohibited until the final resolution of the covered litigation. In conjunction with the prior sales of Visa Class B shares in December 2010 and September 2011, FHN and the purchasers entered into derivative transactions whereby FHN will make, or receive, cash payments whenever the conversion ratio of the Visa Class B shares into Visa Class A shares is adjusted. The conversion ratio is adjusted when Visa deposits funds into the escrow account to cover certain litigation. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the derivative liabilities were $6.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

In July 2012, Visa and MasterCard announced a joint settlement (the “Settlement”) related to the Payment Card Interchange matter, one of the Covered Litigation matters. Based on the amount of the Settlement attributable to Visa and an assessment of FHN’s contingent liability accrued for Visa litigation matters, the Settlement did not have a material impact on FHN. The Settlement was vacated upon appeal in June 2016. Accordingly, the outcome of this matter remains uncertain. Additionally, other Covered Litigation matters are also pending judicial resolution, including new matters filed by class members who opted out of the Settlement. So long as any Covered Litigation matter remains pending, FHN’s ability to transfer its Visa holdings is restricted, with limited exceptions.

FHN now holds approximately 1.1 million Visa Class B shares. FHN’s Visa shares are not considered to be marketable and therefore are included in the Consolidated Statements of Condition at their historical cost of $0. As of December 31, 2016, the conversion ratio is 165 percent reflecting a Visa stock split in March 2015, and the contingent liability is $.8 million. Future funding of the escrow would dilute this conversion ratio by an amount that is not determinable at present. Based on the closing price on December 31, 2016, assuming conversion into Class A shares at the current conversion ratio, FHN’s Visa holdings would have a value of approximately $143 million. Recognition of this value is dependent upon the final resolution of the remainder of Visa’s Covered Litigation matters without further reduction of the conversion ratio.

Indemnification Agreements and Guarantees

In the ordinary course of business, FHN enters into indemnification agreements for legal proceedings against its directors and officers and standard representations and warranties for underwriting agreements, merger and acquisition agreements, loan sales, contractual commitments, and various other business transactions or arrangements. The extent of FHN’s obligations under these agreements depends upon the occurrence of future events; therefore, it is not possible to estimate a maximum potential amount of payouts that could be required with such agreements.

Note 18  q  Pension, Savings, and Other Employee Benefits

Pension plan. FHN sponsors a noncontributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan to employees hired or re-hired on or before September 1, 2007. Pension benefits are based on years of service, average compensation near retirement or other termination, and estimated social security benefits at age 65. Benefits under the plan are “frozen” so that years of service and compensation changes after 2012 do not affect the benefit owed. Minimum contributions are based upon actuarially determined amounts necessary to fund the benefit obligation. Decisions to contribute to the plan are based upon pension funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act, the maximum amount deductible under the Internal Revenue Code, the actual performance of plan assets, and trends in the regulatory environment. FHN contributed $165 million to the qualified pension plan in third quarter 2016. The contribution had no effect on FHN’s 2016 Consolidated Statements of Income. Management has assessed the need for future contributions, and does not currently anticipate that FHN will make a contribution to the qualified pension plan in 2017.

FHN also maintains non-qualified plans including a supplemental retirement plan that covers certain employees whose benefits under the qualified pension plan have been limited by tax rules. These other non-qualified plans are unfunded, and contributions to these plans cover all benefits paid under the non-qualified plans. Payments made under the non-qualified plans were $5.1 million for 2016. FHN anticipates making benefit payments under the non-qualified plans of $5.0 million in 2017.

Savings plan. FHN provides all qualifying full-time employees with the opportunity to participate in the FHN tax qualified 401(k) savings plan. The qualified plan allows employees to defer receipt of earned salary, up to tax law limits, on a tax-advantaged basis. Accounts, which are held in trust, may be invested in a wide range of mutual funds and in FHN common stock. Up to tax law limits, FHN provides a 100 percent match for the first 6 percent of salary deferred, with company matching contributions invested according to a participant’s current investment elections. The savings plan also allows employees to invest in a non-leveraged employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”). Cash dividends on shares held by the ESOP are charged to retained earnings and the shares are considered outstanding in computing earnings per share. The number of allocated shares held by the ESOP totaled 7,793,110 on December 31, 2016. Through a non-qualified savings restoration plan, FHN provides a restorative benefit to certain highly-compensated employees who participate in the savings plan and whose contribution elections are capped by tax limitations.

FHN also provides “flexible dollars” to assist employees with the cost of annual benefits and/or allow the employee to contribute to his or her qualified savings plan account. These “flexible dollars” are pre-tax contributions and are based upon the employees’ years of service and qualified compensation. Contributions made by FHN through the flexible benefits plan and the company matches were $21.6 million for 2016, $20.8 million for 2015, and $20.4 million for 2014.

Other employee benefits. FHN provides postretirement life insurance benefits to certain employees and also provides postretirement medical insurance benefits to retirement-eligible employees. The postretirement medical plan is contributory with FHN contributing a fixed amount for certain participants. FHN’s postretirement benefits include certain prescription drug benefits. In 2015, FHN notified participants of revisions to the retiree medical plan effective January 1, 2016. In conjunction with this action, FHN recognized an $8.3 million curtailment gain in third quarter 2015. FHN also recognized a $1.0 million reduction in the plans’ projected benefit obligation and a $5.3 million tax-effected adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income.

Note 18  q  Pension, Savings, and Other Employee Benefits (continued)

Actuarial assumptions. FHN’s process for developing the long-term expected rate of return of pension plan assets is based on capital market exposure as the source of investment portfolio returns. Capital market exposure refers to the plan’s broad allocation of its assets to asset classes, such as large cap equity and fixed income. FHN also considers expectations for inflation, real interest rates, and various risk premiums based primarily on the historical risk premium for each asset class. The expected return is based upon a thirty year time horizon. In conjunction with the contribution made in 2016, the asset allocation strategy for the qualified pension plan was adjusted through the sale of all equity investments with investment of the proceeds, in addition to the contribution, into fixed income instruments that more closely matched the estimated duration of payment obligations. Consequently, FHN selected a 4.50 percent assumption for 2017 for the qualified defined benefit pension plan and a 2.15 percent assumption for postretirement medical plan assets dedicated to employees who retired prior to January 1, 1993. FHN selected a 6.00 percent assumption for postretirement medical plan assets dedicated to employees who retired after January 1, 1993.

The discount rates for the three years ended 2016 for pension and other benefits were determined by using a hypothetical AA yield curve represented by a series of annualized individual discount rates from one-half to thirty years. The discount rates are selected based upon data specific to FHN’s plans and employee population. The bonds used to create the hypothetical yield curve were subjected to several requirements to ensure that the resulting rates were representative of the bonds that would be selected by management to fulfill the company’s funding obligations. In addition to the AA rating, only non-callable bonds were included. Each bond issue was required to have at least $250 million par outstanding so that each issue was sufficiently marketable. Finally, bonds more than two standard deviations from the average yield were removed. When selecting the discount rate, FHN matches the duration of high quality bonds with the duration of the obligations of the plan as of the measurement date. For all years presented, the measurement date of the benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs was December 31.

In 2014, the Society of Actuaries published updated life expectancy tables based upon a study of recent non-governmental pension plan experience in the United States. These new tables reflected the increased longevity of pension plan participants as well as projected future improvements in life expectancy in comparison to prior life expectancy tables. FHN included the newly released tables within the annual re-measurement of its pension and postretirement plan calculations beginning in 2014. Consideration of the new life expectancy tables resulted in an 8 percent increase of the projected benefit obligations for FHN’s pension plans in 2014 compared to the use of the former tables. The effects of subsequent changes in life expectancy tables have not been significant.

Note 18  q  Pension, Savings, and Other Employee Benefits (continued)

The rate of compensation increase previously had a significant effect on the actuarial assumptions used for the defined benefit pension plan. However, given the pension plan freeze as of December 31, 2012, the rate of compensation increase no longer applies to the qualified pension plan.

The health care cost trend rate assumption previously had a significant effect on the amounts reported. However, given the change to a defined contribution subsidy model for postretirement medical insurance benefits, a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have no impact on the reported service and interest cost components or the postretirement benefit obligation at the end of the plan year since the annual rate of increase in health care costs was no longer included in the actuarial assumptions for that plan for the 2016 and 2015 measurements.

In 2015, an announced revision to the retiree medical plan triggered curtailment accounting. In accordance with its practice, FHN performed a remeasurement of the plan in conjunction with the curtailment and realized a curtailment gain.

 

(b)

 

In 2014, a one-time special termination benefits charge was recognized related to recalculation of a participant’s benefit under a non-qualified plan upon retirement.

The long-term expected rate of return is applied to the market-related value of plan assets in determining the expected return on plan assets. FHN determines the market-related value of plan assets using a calculated value that recognizes changes in the fair value of plan assets over five years, as permitted by GAAP.

In 2016, FHN changed its methodology for the calculation of interest cost for its applicable employee benefit plans. Prior to 2016 FHN utilized a weighted average discount rate to determine interest cost, which is the same discount rate used to calculate the projected benefit obligation. Starting in 2016, FHN adopted a spot rate approach which applies duration-specific rates from the full yield curve to estimated future benefit payments for the determination of interest cost. This change in accounting estimate reduced interest cost across all plans by $5.8 million in 2016.

Increase in 2016 due to the settlement of certain terminated, vested participants in qualified pension plan.

The qualified pension plan was overfunded as of December 31, 2016, by $18.1 million. The nonqualified pension plan was underfunded as of December 31, 2016, by $43.8 million. At year-end 2015, the qualified and nonqualified pension plans were underfunded by $132.6 million, and $45.8 million, respectively. Because of the pension freeze as of the end of 2012, the pension benefit obligation and the accumulated benefit obligation are the same as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. The projected benefit obligation and the accumulated benefit obligation for the qualified pension plan exceeded all corresponding plan assets as of December 31, 2015.

Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized prior service costs and credits are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Balances reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income on a pre-tax basis for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 consist of:

(a)

 

In 2015, an announced revision to the retiree medical plan triggered curtailment accounting. In accordance with its practice, FHN performed a remeasurement of the plan in conjunction with the curtailment and realized a curtailment gain.

FHN utilizes the minimum amortization method in determining the amount of actuarial gains or losses to include in plan expense. Under this approach, the net deferred actuarial gain or loss that exceeds a threshold is amortized over the average remaining service period of active plan participants. The threshold is measured as the greater of: 10 percent of a plan’s projected benefit obligation as of the beginning of the year or 10 percent of the market related value of plan assets as of the beginning of the year. FHN amortizes actuarial gains and losses using the estimated average remaining life expectancy of the remaining participants since all participants are considered inactive due to the freeze.

For pension plans, the estimated actuarial loss that would be amortized from AOCI into net periodic benefit cost in 2017 is $9.5 million. For other postretirement plans, the estimated actuarial gain to be amortized from AOCI into net periodic benefit in 2017 is $.6 million. In 2017, the estimated prior service cost expected to be amortized from AOCI into net periodic benefits related to pension and other postretirement plans is not expected to be material.

FHN does not expect any defined benefit pension plan’s and other employee benefit plan’s assets to be returned to FHN in 2017.

The following table provides detail on expected benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate:

Plan assets. FHN’s overall investment goal is to create, over the life of the pension plan and retiree medical plan, an adequate pool of sufficiently liquid assets to support the qualified pension benefit obligations to participants, retirees, and beneficiaries, as well as to partially support the medical obligations to retirees and beneficiaries. Thus, the qualified pension plan and retiree medical plan seek to achieve a high level of investment return consistent with a prudent level of portfolio risk.

Prior to the contribution in third quarter 2016, FHN had adopted an investment strategy that reduced equities and increased long duration fixed income allocations over time with the intention of reducing volatility of funded status and pension costs. Plan assets were shifted from equities to fixed income securities when certain funded status thresholds were met. At December 31, 2015, the target allocation to equities was 32 percent and the target allocation to fixed income and cash equivalents was 68 percent. Equity securities, most of which were included in

140

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 18  q  Pension, Savings, and Other Employee Benefits (continued)

common and collective funds, primarily included investments in large capital and small capital companies located in the U.S., as well as international equity securities in developed and emerging markets. Subsequent to the 2016 contribution, qualified pension plan assets primarily consist of fixed income securities which include U.S. treasuries, corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, municipal bonds, and foreign bonds. Fixed income investments generally have long durations consistent with the estimated pension liabilities of FHN. This duration-matching strategy is intended to hedge substantially all of the plan’s risk associated with future benefit payments. Retiree medical funds are kept in short-term investments, primarily money market funds and mutual funds. On December 31, 2016 and 2015, FHN did not have any significant concentrations of risk within the plan assets related to the pension plan or the retiree medical plan.

The fair value of FHN’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2016 and 2015, by asset category classified using the Fair Value measurement hierarchy is shown in the table below.

Any shortfall of investment performance compared to investment objectives should be explainable in terms of general economic and capital market conditions. The Pension and Savings Investment Committee, comprised of senior managers within the organization, meets regularly to review asset performance and potential portfolio revisions. With the change in asset allocation in 2016, adjustments to the qualified pension plan asset allocation will primarily reflect changes in anticipated liquidity needs for plan benefits.

Note 19  q  Stock Option, Restricted Stock Incentive, and Dividend Reinvestment Plans

Equity compensation plans

FHN currently has one plan, its shareholder-approved Equity Compensation Plan (“ECP”), which authorizes the grant of new stock-based awards to employees and directors. Most awards outstanding at year end were granted under the ECP, though older stock options and certain deferred stock units remain outstanding under several plans which no longer are active. The ECP authorizes a broad range of award types, including restricted shares, stock units, and stock options. Stock units may be paid in shares or cash, depending upon the terms of the award. The ECP also authorizes the grant of stock appreciation rights, though no such grants have been made. Unvested awards have service and/or performance conditions which must be met in order for the shares to vest. Awards generally have service-vesting conditions, meaning that the employee must remain employed by FHN for certain periods in order for the award to vest. Some outstanding awards also have performance conditions, and two outstanding awards have performance conditions associated with FHN’s stock price. FHN operates the ECP by establishing award programs, each of which is intended to cover a specific need. Programs are created, changed, or terminated as needs change. On December 31, 2016, there were 11,454,517 shares available for new awards under the ECP. The ECP imposes a separate limit on full-value (non-option) awards which is included within the overall limit; at December 31, 2016 there were 8,744,702 shares available to be granted as full-value awards.

Service condition full-value awards. Awards may be granted with service conditions only. In recent years, programs using these awards have included annual programs for executives and selected management employees, a mandatory deferral program for executives tied to annual bonuses earned, other mandatory or elective deferral programs, various retention programs, and special hiring-incentive situations. Details of the awards vary by program, but most are settled in shares at vesting rather than cash, and vesting rarely begins earlier than the first anniversary of grant and rarely extends beyond the fourth anniversary of grant. Annual programs tend to use multiple annual vesting dates while retention programs tend to use a single vesting date, but there are exceptions.

Performance condition awards. Under FHN’s long-term incentive and corporate performance programs, performance stock units (“PSUs”) (executives) and cash units (selected management employees) are granted annually and vest only if predetermined performance measures are met. The measures are changed each year based on goals and circumstances prevailing at the time of grant. In recent years the performance periods have been three years, with service-vesting near the third anniversary of the grant. PSUs granted after 2014 also have a two year post-vest holding period. Recent annual performance awards require pro-rated forfeiture for performance falling between a threshold level and a maximum, but all-or-nothing awards have also been granted. Performance awards sometimes are used to provide a narrow, targeted incentive to a single person or small group; two such awards which include a market performance condition to FHN’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) are discussed in the next paragraph. Of the annual program awards paid during 2016 or outstanding on December 31, 2016: performance conditions related to the 2013 units were met at the 95.8 percent payout level and were paid in 2016; the three-year performance period of the 2014 units has ended but performance is measured relative to peers and has not yet been determined; and, the three-year performance periods for the 2015 and 2016 units have not ended.

Market condition awards. In 2016 and 2012, FHN made special grants of performance stock units to FHN’s CEO which will vest at the end of a performance period of seven years and five years, respectively. The awards have no provision for pro-rated payment based on partial performance. The 2016 award’s performance goal is based on achievement of a specific level of total shareholder return during the performance period. The 2012 award’s two alternative performance goals are: FHN’s common stock price achieves and maintains a certain level for a certain period of time; or FHN’s total shareholder return during the entire period achieves a certain level.

Director awards. Non-employee directors receive cash and annual grants of service-conditioned stock units under a program approved by the board of directors. Director stock units are settled in shares at vesting in the year following the year of grant. In 2016 and 2015 each director received $65,000 of stock units, representing a portion of their annual retainer. Prior to 2005 directors could elect to defer cash compensation in the form of discount-priced stock options, some of which remain outstanding.

The weighted average grant date fair value for shares/units granted in 2015 and 2014 was $13.90 and $11.62, respectively.

On December 31, 2016, there was $26.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years. The total grant date fair value of shares vested during 2016, 2015 and 2014, was $9.7 million, $9.9 million and $15.5 million, respectively.

Stock option awards. Currently FHN operates only a single option program, calling for annual grants of service-vested options to executives. In the past, however, option programs varied widely in their uses and terms, and many old-program options, granted under the ECP or its predecessor plans, remain outstanding today. Except for substitute options (discussed below), all options granted since 2005 provide for the issuance of FHN common stock at a price fixed at its fair market value on the grant date. Except for substitute options and a special retention stock option award to the CEO in 2016, all options granted since 2008 vest fully no later than the fourth anniversary of grant, and all such options expire seven years from the grant date. Substitute options can be issued under the ECP in exchange for options of an acquired company that are canceled in a merger. The price, vesting, expiration, and other terms of the substitute options economically mirror those of the canceled options. FHN issued substitute options in the TAF transaction which closed in October, 2015. The 2016 retention award vests beginning on the fourth anniversary of grant and extends through the sixth anniversary of grant. A deferral program, which was discontinued in 2005, allowed for foregone compensation plus the exercise price to equal the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant if the grantee agreed to receive the options in lieu of compensation. Deferral options still outstanding expire 20 years from the grant date.

Note 19  q  Stock Option, Restricted Stock Incentive, and Dividend Reinvestment Plans (continued)

FHN granted 971,328, 595,229 and 592,551 stock options with a weighted average fair value of $2.95, $4.01 and $3.50 per option at grant date in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

FHN used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted in 2016, 2015, and 2014 with the following assumptions:

Expected lives of options granted are determined based on the vesting period, historical exercise patterns and contractual term of the options. FHN uses a blend of historical and implied volatility in determining expected volatility. A portion of the weighted average volatility rate is derived by compiling daily closing stock prices over a historical period approximating the expected lives of the options. Additionally, because of market volatility due to economic conditions and the impact on stock prices of financial institutions, FHN also incorporates a measure of implied volatility so as to incorporate more recent market conditions in the estimation of future volatility.

Compensation Cost. The compensation cost that has been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income pertaining to stock-based awards was $17.5 million, $13.8 million, and $11.4 million for 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The corresponding total income tax benefits recognized were $6.7 million in 2016, $5.3 million in 2015, and $4.4 million in 2014.

Authorization. Consistent with Tennessee state law, only authorized, but unissued, stock may be utilized in connection with any issuance of FHN common stock which may be required as a result of stock based compensation awards. FHN has obtained authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase up to certain number of shares, related to issuance under the ECP and older stock award plans. These authorizations are automatically adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends. Repurchases are authorized to be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions and will be subject to market conditions, accumulation of excess equity, legal and regulatory restrictions, and prudent capital management. FHN does not currently expect to repurchase a material number of shares under the compensation plan-related repurchase program during 2017.

Dividend reinvestment plan. The Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan authorizes the sale of FHN’s common stock from stock acquired on the open market to shareholders who choose to invest all or a portion of their cash dividends or make optional cash payments of $25 to $10,000 per quarter without paying commissions. The price of stock purchased on the open market is the average price paid.

Note 20  q  Business Segment Information

FHN has four business segments: regional banking, fixed income, corporate, and non-strategic. The regional banking segment offers financial products and services, including traditional lending and deposit taking, to consumer and commercial customers in Tennessee and other selected markets. Regional banking also provides investments, financial planning, trust services and asset management, credit card, and cash management. Additionally, the regional banking segment includes correspondent banking which provides credit, depository, and other banking related services to other financial institutions nationally. The fixed income segment consists of fixed income securities sales, trading, and strategies for institutional clients in the U.S. and abroad, as well as loan sales, portfolio advisory services, and derivative sales. The corporate segment consists of unallocated corporate expenses, expense on subordinated debt issuances, bank-owned life insurance, unallocated interest income associated with excess equity, net impact of raising incremental capital, revenue and expense associated with deferred compensation plans, funds management, tax credit investment activities, gains on the extinguishment of debt, derivative valuation adjustments related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares, and acquisition-related costs. The non-strategic segment consists of the wind-down national consumer lending activities, legacy mortgage banking elements including servicing fees, and the associated ancillary revenues and expenses related to these businesses. Non-strategic also includes the wind-down trust preferred loan portfolio and exited businesses.

Periodically, FHN adapts its segments to reflect managerial or strategic changes. FHN may also modify its methodology of allocating expenses and equity among segments which could change historical segment results. Business segment revenue, expense, asset, and equity levels reflect those which are specifically identifiable or which are allocated based on an internal allocation method. Because the allocations are based on internally developed assignments and allocations, to an extent they are subjective. Generally, all assignments and allocations have been consistently applied for all periods presented. The following table reflects the amounts of consolidated revenue, expense, tax, and average assets, as well as, depreciation and amortization expense and expenditures for long lived assets for each segment for the years ended December 31:

Note 21  q  Variable Interest Entities

ASC 810 defines a VIE as a legal entity where (a) the equity investors, as a group, lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) the equity investors, as a group, lack either, (1) the power through voting rights, or similar rights, to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (2) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (3) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (c) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. A variable interest is a contractual ownership or other interest that fluctuates with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets exclusive of variable interests. Under ASC 810, as amended, a primary beneficiary is required to consolidate a VIE when it has a variable interest in a VIE that provides it with a controlling financial interest. For such purposes, the determination of whether a controlling financial interest exists is based on whether a single party has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

FHN holds variable interests in a proprietary HELOC securitization trust it established as a source of liquidity for consumer lending operations. Based on its restrictive nature, the trust is considered a VIE as the holders of equity at risk do not have the power through voting rights or similar rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the trust’s economic performance. The retention of MSR and a residual interest results in FHN potentially absorbing losses or receiving benefits that are significant to the trust. FHN is considered the primary beneficiary, as it is assumed to have the power, as Master Servicer, to most significantly impact the activities of the VIE. Consolidation of the trust results in the recognition of the trust proceeds as restricted borrowings since the cash flows on the securitized loans can only be used to settle the obligations due to the holders of trust securities. Through first quarter 2016 the trust experienced a rapid amortization period and FHN was obligated to provide subordinated funding. During the period, cash payments from borrowers were accumulated to repay outstanding debt securities while FHN continued to make advances to borrowers when they drew on their lines of credit. FHN then transferred the newly generated receivables into the securitization trust. FHN is reimbursed for these advances only after other parties in the securitization have received all of the cash flows to which they are entitled. If loan losses requiring draws on the related monoline insurers’ policies (which protect bondholders in the securitization) exceed a certain level, FHN may not receive reimbursement for all of the funds advanced to borrowers, as the senior bondholders and the monoline insurers typically have priority for repayment. Amounts funded from monoline insurance policies are considered restricted term borrowings in FHN’s Consolidated Statements of Condition. Except for recourse due to breaches of representations and warranties made by FHN in connection with the sale of the loans to the trust, the creditors of the trust hold no recourse to the assets of FHN.

FHN has established certain rabbi trusts related to deferred compensation plans offered to its employees. FHN contributes employee cash compensation deferrals to the trusts and directs the underlying investments made by the trusts. The assets of these trusts are available to FHN’s creditors only in the event that FHN becomes insolvent. These trusts are considered VIEs as there is no equity at risk in the trusts since FHN provided the equity interest to its employees in exchange for services rendered. FHN is considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trusts as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the rabbi trusts through its ability to direct the underlying investments made by the trusts. Additionally, FHN could potentially receive benefits or absorb losses that are significant to the trusts due to its right to receive any asset values in excess of liability payoffs and its obligation to fund any liabilities to employees that are in excess of a rabbi trust’s assets.

Nonconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

Low Income Housing Partnerships. First Tennessee Housing Corporation (“FTHC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FTBNA, makes equity investments as a limited partner in various partnerships that sponsor affordable housing projects utilizing the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital and to support FHN’s community reinvestment initiatives. The activities of the limited partnerships include the identification, development, and operation of multi-family housing units that are leased to qualifying residential tenants generally within FHN’s primary geographic region. LIHTC partnerships are considered VIEs as FTHC, the holder of the equity investment at risk, does not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the performance of the entity through voting rights or similar rights. FTHC could absorb losses that are significant to the LIHTC partnerships as it has a risk of loss for its capital contributions and funding commitments to each partnership. The general partners are considered the primary beneficiaries as managerial functions give them the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance and the managing members are exposed to all losses beyond FTHC’s initial capital contributions and funding commitments.

FHN accounts for all qualifying LIHTC investments under the proportional amortization method. Under this method an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense/(benefit). LIHTC investments that do not qualify for the proportional amortization method are accounted for using the equity method. Expenses associated with these investments were $1.8 million and $3.4 million during 2016 and 2015, respectively, and were not significant during 2014. The following table summarizes the impact to the Provision/(benefit) for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 for LIHTC investments accounted for under the proportional amortization method.

Other Tax Credit Investments. First Tennessee New Markets Corporation (“FTNMC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FTBNA, makes equity investments through wholly-owned subsidiaries as a non-managing member in various

149

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 21  q  Variable Interest Entities (continued)

limited liability companies (“LLCs”) that sponsor community development projects utilizing the New Market Tax Credit (“NMTC”) pursuant to Section 45 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital and to support FHN’s community reinvestment initiatives. The activities of the LLCs include providing investment capital for low-income communities within FHN’s primary geographic region. A portion of the funding of FTNMC’s investment in a NMTC LLC is obtained via a loan from an unrelated third-party that is typically a community development enterprise. The NMTC LLCs are considered VIEs as FTNMC, the holder of the equity investment at risk, does not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the performance of the entity through voting rights or similar rights. While FTNMC could absorb losses that are significant to the NMTC LLCs as it has a risk of loss for its initial capital contributions, the managing members are considered the primary beneficiaries as managerial functions give them the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the NMTC LLCs’ economic performance and the managing members are exposed to all losses beyond FTNMC’s initial capital contributions.

FTHC also makes equity investments as a limited partner or non-managing member in entities that receive Historic Tax Credits pursuant to Section 47 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of these entities is the rehabilitation of historic buildings with the tax credits provided to incent private investment in the historic cores of cities and towns. These entities are considered VIEs as FTHC, the holder of the equity investment at risk, does not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the performance of the entity through voting rights or similar rights. FTHC could absorb losses that are significant to the entities as it has a risk of loss for its capital contributions and funding commitments to each partnership. The managing members are considered the primary beneficiaries as managerial functions give them the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance and the managing members are exposed to all losses beyond FTHC’s initial capital contributions and funding commitments.

Small Issuer Trust Preferred Holdings. FTBNA holds variable interests in trusts which have issued mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities (“trust preferreds”) for smaller banking and insurance enterprises. FTBNA has no voting rights for the trusts’ activities. The trusts’ only assets are junior subordinated debentures of the issuing enterprises. The creditors of the trusts hold no recourse to the assets of FTBNA. These trusts meet the definition of a VIE as the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have the power through voting rights, or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the trusts’ economic performance. Based on the nature of the trusts’ activities and the size of FTBNA’s holdings, FTBNA could potentially receive benefits or absorb losses that are significant to the trusts regardless of whether a majority of a trust’s securities are held by FTBNA. However, since FTBNA is solely a holder of the trusts’ securities, it has no rights which would give it the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the trusts’ economic performance and thus it is not considered the primary beneficiary of the trusts. FTBNA has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the trusts.

On-Balance Sheet Trust Preferred Securitization. In 2007, FTBNA executed a securitization of certain small issuer trust preferreds for which the underlying trust meets the definition of a VIE as the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have the power through voting rights, or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. FTBNA could potentially receive benefits or absorb losses that are significant to the trust based on the size and priority of the interests it retained in the securities issued by the trust. However, since FTBNA did not retain servicing or other decision making rights, FTBNA is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the trust’s economic performance. Accordingly, FTBNA has accounted for the funds received through the securitization as a term borrowing in its Consolidated Statements of Condition. FTBNA has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the trust.

Proprietary Residential Mortgage Securitizations. FHN holds variable interests (primarily principal-only strips) in proprietary residential mortgage securitization trusts it established prior to 2008 as a source of liquidity for its mortgage banking operations. Prior to fourth quarter 2016 these interests included MSR and interest-only strips. Except for recourse due to breaches of representations and warranties made by FHN in connection with the sale of the loans to the trusts, the creditors of the trusts hold no recourse to the assets of FHN. Additionally, FHN has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the trusts. Based on their restrictive nature, the trusts are considered VIEs as the holders of equity at risk do not have the power through voting rights, or similar rights,

150

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 21  q  Variable Interest Entities (continued)

to direct the activities that most significantly impact the trusts’ economic performance. While it held MSR, FHN was assumed to have the power as servicer to most significantly impact the activities of such VIEs. However, in situations where FHN did not have the ability to participate in significant portions of a securitization trust’s cash flows, FHN was not considered the primary beneficiary of the trust. Therefore, these trusts were not consolidated by FHN.

Holdings & Short Positions in Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities. FHN holds securities issued by various Agency securitization trusts. Based on their restrictive nature, the trusts meet the definition of a VIE since the holders of the equity investments at risk do not have the power through voting rights, or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. FHN could potentially receive benefits or absorb losses that are significant to the trusts based on the nature of the trusts’ activities and the size of FHN’s holdings. However, FHN is solely a holder of the trusts’ securities and does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the trusts’ economic performance, and is not considered the primary beneficiary of the trusts. FHN has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the trusts.

Commercial Loan Troubled Debt Restructurings. For certain troubled commercial loans, FTBNA restructures the terms of the borrower’s debt in an effort to increase the probability of receipt of amounts contractually due. Following a troubled debt restructuring, the borrower entity typically meets the definition of a VIE as the initial determination of whether an entity is a VIE must be reconsidered as events have proven that the entity’s equity is not sufficient to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or a restructuring of the terms of its financing. As FTBNA does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact such troubled commercial borrowers’ operations, it is not considered the primary beneficiary even in situations where, based on the size of the financing provided, FTBNA is exposed to potentially significant benefits and losses of the borrowing entity. FTBNA has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the borrowing entities beyond certain funding commitments established upon restructuring of the terms of the debt that allows for preparation of the underlying collateral for sale.

Sale Leaseback Transaction. In fourth quarter 2015, FTB entered into an agreement with a single asset leasing entity for the sale and leaseback of an office building. In conjunction with this transaction, FTB loaned funds to a related party of the buyer that were used for the purchase price of the building. FTB also entered into a construction loan agreement with the single asset entity for renovation of the building. Since this transaction did not qualify as a sale, it is being accounted for using the deposit method which creates a net asset or liability for all cash flows between FTB and the buyer. The buyer-lessor in this transaction meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk since FTB is providing the funding for the purchase and renovation. A related party of the buyer-lessor has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the operations and could potentially receive benefits or absorb losses that are significant to the transactions, making it the primary beneficiary. Therefore, FTB does not consolidate the leasing entity.

Note 22  q  Derivatives

In the normal course of business, FHN utilizes various financial instruments (including derivative contracts and credit-related agreements) through its fixed income and risk management operations, as part of its risk management strategy and as a means to meet customers’ needs. Derivative instruments are subject to credit and market risks in excess of the amount recorded on the balance sheet as required by GAAP. The contractual or notional amounts of these financial instruments do not necessarily represent the amount of credit or market risk. However, they can be used to measure the extent of involvement in various types of financial instruments. Controls and monitoring procedures for these instruments have been established and are routinely reevaluated. The Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) controls, coordinates, and monitors the usage and effectiveness of these financial instruments.

Credit risk represents the potential loss that may occur if a party to a transaction fails to perform according to the terms of the contract. The measure of credit exposure is the replacement cost of contracts with a positive fair value. FHN manages credit risk by entering into financial instrument transactions through national exchanges, primary dealers or approved counterparties, and by using mutual margining and master netting agreements whenever possible to limit potential exposure. FHN also maintains collateral posting requirements with certain counterparties to limit credit risk. On December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, FHN had $47.8 million and $71.7 million of cash receivables and $32.8 million and $37.7 million of cash payables related to collateral posting under master netting arrangements, inclusive of collateral posted related to contracts with adjustable collateral posting thresholds and over-collateralized positions, with derivative counterparties. With exchange-traded contracts, the credit risk is limited to the clearinghouse used. For non-exchange traded instruments, credit risk may occur when there is a gain in the fair value of the financial instrument and the counterparty fails to perform according to the terms of the contract and/or when the collateral proves to be of insufficient value. See additional discussion regarding master netting agreements and collateral posting requirements later in this note under the heading “Master Netting and Similar Agreements.” Market risk represents the potential loss due to the decrease in the value of a financial instrument caused primarily by changes in interest rates or the prices of debt instruments. FHN manages market risk by establishing and monitoring limits on the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken. FHN continually measures this risk through the use of models that measure value-at-risk and earnings-at-risk.

Derivative Instruments. FHN enters into various derivative contracts both in a dealer capacity to facilitate customer transactions and as a risk management tool. Where contracts have been created for customers, FHN enters into upstream transactions with dealers to offset its risk exposure. Contracts with dealers that require central clearing are novated to a clearing agent who becomes FHN’s counterparty. Derivatives are also used as a risk management tool to hedge FHN’s exposure to changes in interest rates or other defined market risks.

Forward contracts are over-the-counter contracts where two parties agree to purchase and sell a specific quantity of a financial instrument at a specified price, with delivery or settlement at a specified date. Futures contracts are exchange-traded contracts where two parties agree to purchase and sell a specific quantity of a financial instrument at a specified price, with delivery or settlement at a specified date. Interest rate option contracts give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified quantity of a financial instrument, at a specified price, during a specified period of time. Caps and floors are options that are linked to a notional principal amount and an underlying indexed interest rate. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of interest payments at specified intervals between two parties without the exchange of any underlying principal. Swaptions are options on interest rate swaps that give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap agreement during a specified period of time.

Trading Activities

FHN’s fixed income segment trades U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, mortgage-backed, corporate and municipal fixed income securities, and other securities for distribution to customers. When these securities settle on a delayed basis, they are considered forward contracts. Fixed income also enters into interest rate contracts, including caps, swaps, and floors, for its customers. In addition, fixed income enters into futures and option contracts to economically hedge interest rate risk associated with a portion of its securities inventory. These transactions are

153

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 22  q  Derivatives (continued)

measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in fixed income noninterest income. Related assets and liabilities are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Condition as Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities. The FTN Financial Risk Committee and the Credit Risk Management Committee collaborate to mitigate credit risk related to these transactions. Credit risk is controlled through credit approvals, risk control limits, and ongoing monitoring procedures. Total trading revenues were $229.7 million and $195.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Trading revenues are inclusive of both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and are included in fixed income noninterest income.

Interest Rate Risk Management

FHN’s ALCO focuses on managing market risk by controlling and limiting earnings volatility attributable to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk exists to the extent that interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have different maturity or repricing characteristics. FHN uses derivatives, primarily swaps, that are designed to moderate the impact on earnings as interest rates change. Interest paid or received for swaps utilized by FHN to hedge the fair value of long term debt is recognized as an adjustment of the interest expense of the liabilities whose risk is being managed. FHN’s interest rate risk management policy is to use derivatives to hedge interest rate risk or market value of assets or liabilities, not to speculate. In addition, FHN has entered into certain interest rate swaps and caps as a part of a product offering to commercial customers that includes customer derivatives paired with upstream offsetting market instruments that, when completed, are designed to mitigate interest rate risk. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and are measured at fair value with gains or losses included in current earnings in Noninterest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

FHN has designated a derivative transaction in a hedging strategy to manage interest rate risk on $400.0 million of senior debt issued by FTBNA which matures in December 2019. This qualifies for hedge accounting under ASC 815-20 using the long-haul method. FHN entered into a pay floating, receive fixed interest rate swap to hedge the interest rate risk of the senior debt. The balance sheet impact of this swap was $1.6 million and $3.6 million in Derivative assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There was an insignificant level of ineffectiveness related to this hedge.

of the senior debt. The balance sheet impact of this swap was $7.3 million and $5.7 million in Derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There was an insignificant level of ineffectiveness related to this hedge.

Prior to maturity in April 2016, FHN designated a derivative transaction in a hedging strategy to manage interest rate risk of certain term borrowings totaling $250.0 million. These swaps were accounted for as fair value hedges under the shortcut method. The balance sheet amount of this swap was $2.9 million in Derivative assets on December 31, 2015.

In first quarter 2016, FHN entered into a pay floating, receive fixed interest rate swap in a hedging strategy to manage its exposure to the variability in cash flows related to the interest payments for the following five years on $250 million principal of debt instruments, which primarily consist of held-to-maturity trust preferred loans that have variable interest payments based on LIBOR. This qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815-20. Changes in the fair value of this derivative are recorded as a component of AOCI, to the extent that the hedge relationship is effective. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI to earnings as the hedged cash flows affect earnings. FTB measures ineffectiveness using the Hypothetical Derivative Method. To the extent that any ineffectiveness exists in the hedge relationships, the amounts are recorded in current period earnings. Interest paid or received for this swap is recognized as an adjustment to interest income of the assets whose cash flows are being hedged.

FHN hedges held-to-maturity trust preferred loans which have an initial fixed rate term before conversion to a floating rate. FHN has entered into pay fixed, receive floating interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with this initial term. Interest paid or received for these swaps is recognized as an adjustment of the interest income of the assets whose risk is being hedged. Basis adjustments remaining at the end of the hedge term are being amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the remaining life of the loans. Gains or losses are included in Other income and commissions on the Consolidated Statements of Income. These hedges expire in third quarter 2017.

Other Derivatives

In conjunction with the sales of a portion of its Visa Class B shares, FHN and the purchaser entered into derivative transactions whereby FHN will make or receive cash payments whenever the conversion ratio of the Visa Class B shares into Visa Class A shares is adjusted. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the derivative liabilities associated with the sales of Visa Class B shares were $6.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively. See the Visa Matters section of Note 17–Contingencies and Other Disclosures for more information regarding FHN’s Visa shares.

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 22  q  Derivatives (continued)

FHN utilizes cross currency swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps to economically hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated with non-U.S. dollar denominated loans. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, these loans were valued at $3.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The balance sheet amount and the gains/losses associated with these derivatives were not significant.

Master Netting and Similar Agreements

As previously discussed, FHN uses master netting agreements, mutual margining agreements and collateral posting requirements to minimize credit risk on derivative contracts. Master netting and similar agreements are used when counterparties have multiple derivatives contracts that allow for a “right of setoff,” meaning that a counterparty may net offsetting positions and collateral with the same counterparty under the contract to determine a net receivable or payable. The following discussion provides an overview of these arrangements which may vary due to the derivative type and market in which a derivative transaction is executed.

Interest rate derivatives are subject to agreements consistent with standard agreement forms of the International Swap and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”). Currently, all interest rate derivative contracts are entered into as over-the-counter transactions and collateral posting requirements are based on the net asset or liability position with each respective counterparty. For contracts that require central clearing, novation to a counterparty with access to a clearinghouse occurs and collateral is posted. Cash collateral received (posted) for interest rate derivatives is recognized as a liability (asset) on FHN’s Consolidated Statements of Condition.

Interest rate derivatives with customers that are smaller financial institutions typically require posting of collateral by the counterparty to FHN. This collateral is subject to a threshold with daily adjustments based upon changes in the level or fair value of the derivative position. Positions and related collateral can be netted in the event of default. Collateral pledged by a counterparty is typically cash or securities. The securities pledged as collateral are not recognized within FHN’s Consolidated Statements of Condition. Interest rate derivatives associated with lending arrangements share the collateral with the related loan(s). The derivative and loan positions may be netted in the event of default. For disclosure purposes, the entire collateral amount is allocated to the loan.

Interest rate derivatives with larger financial institutions entered into prior to required central clearing typically contain provisions whereby the collateral posting thresholds under the agreements adjust based on the credit ratings of both counterparties. If the credit rating of FHN and/or FTBNA is lowered, FHN could be required to post additional collateral with the counterparties. Conversely, if the credit rating of FHN and/or FTBNA is increased, FHN could have collateral released and be required to post less collateral in the future. Also, if a counterparty’s credit ratings were to decrease, FHN and/or FTBNA could require the posting of additional collateral; whereas if a counterparty’s credit ratings were to increase, the counterparty could require the release of excess collateral. Collateral for these arrangements is adjusted daily based on changes in the net fair value position with each counterparty.

The net fair value, determined by individual counterparty, of all derivative instruments with adjustable collateral posting thresholds was $35.9 million of assets and $49.0 million of liabilities on December 31, 2016, and $64.9 million of assets and $62.8 million of liabilities on December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, FHN had received collateral of $137.6 million and $146.4 million and posted collateral of $39.3 million and $63.0 million, respectively, in the normal course of business related to these agreements.

Certain agreements entered into prior to required central clearing also contain accelerated termination provisions, inclusive of the right of offset, if a counterparty’s credit rating falls below a specified level. If a counterparty’s debt rating (including FHN’s and FTBNA’s) were to fall below these minimums, these provisions would be triggered, and the counterparties could terminate the agreements and require immediate settlement of all derivative contracts under the agreements. The net fair value, determined by individual counterparty, of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent accelerated termination provisions was $35.9 million of assets and $19.6 million of liabilities on December 31, 2016, and $64.9 million of assets and $16.1 million of liabilities on December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, FHN had received collateral of $137.5 million and $146.4 million and

157

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 22  q  Derivatives (continued)

posted collateral of $12.9 million and $19.7 million, respectively, in the normal course of business related to these contracts.

FHN’s fixed income segment buys and sells various types of securities for its customers. When these securities settle on a delayed basis, they are considered forward contracts, and are generally not subject to master netting agreements. For futures and options, FHN transacts through a third party, and the transactions are subject to margin and collateral maintenance requirements. In the event of default, open positions can be offset along with the associated collateral.

For this disclosure, FHN considers the impact of master netting and other similar agreements which allow FHN to settle all contracts with a single counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net derivative asset or liability position with the related securities and cash collateral. The application of the collateral cannot reduce the net derivative asset or liability position below zero, and therefore any excess collateral is not reflected in the following tables.

Note 23  q  Master Netting and Similar Agreements - Repurchase, Reverse Repurchase, and Securities Borrowing Transactions

For repurchase, reverse repurchase and securities borrowing transactions, FHN and each counterparty have the ability to offset all open positions and related collateral in the event of default. Due to the nature of these transactions, the value of the collateral for each transaction approximates the value of the corresponding receivable or payable. For repurchase agreements through FHN’s fixed income business (Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Securities sold under agreements to repurchase), transactions are collateralized by securities which are delivered on the settlement date and are maintained throughout the term of the transaction. For FHN’s repurchase agreements through banking activities (Securities sold under agreements to repurchase), securities are typically pledged at settlement and not released until maturity. For asset positions, the collateral is not included on FHN’s Consolidated Statements of Condition. For liability positions, securities collateral pledged by FHN is generally represented within FHN’s trading or available-for-sale securities portfolios.

For this disclosure, FHN considers the impact of master netting and other similar agreements that allow FHN to settle all contracts with a single counterparty on a net basis and to offset the net asset or liability position with the related securities collateral. The application of the collateral cannot reduce the net asset or liability position below zero, and therefore any excess collateral is not reflected in the tables below.

Note 24  q  Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities

FHN groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. This hierarchy requires FHN to maximize the use of observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Each fair value measurement is placed into the proper level based on the lowest level of significant input. These levels are:

 

 

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

 

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

 

 

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Transfers between fair value levels are recognized at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the associated change in inputs occurs.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

From time to time, FHN may be required to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of LOCOM accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis which were still held on the balance sheet at December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment, the related carrying value, and the fair value adjustments recorded during the respective periods.

In first quarter 2016, FHN’s Regional Banking segment recognized $3.7 million of impairments on long-lived assets associated with efforts to more efficiently utilize its bank branch locations. The affected branch locations represented a mixture of owned and leased sites. The fair values of owned sites were determined using estimated sales prices from appraisals less estimated costs to sell. The fair values of leased sites were determined using a discounted cash flow approach, based on the revised estimated useful lives of the related assets. Both measurement methodologies are considered Level 3 valuations.

Note 24  q  Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities (continued)

Trading securities-mortgage. Prepayment rates and credit spreads (part of the discount rate) are significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of FHN’s mortgage trading securities which primarily consist of principal-only strips. Subordinated bonds were also included in mortgage trading securities prior to their payoff in first quarter 2016. Increases in prepayment rates and credit spreads in isolation would result in significantly lower fair value measurements for the associated assets. Conversely, decreases in prepayment rates and credit spreads in isolation would result in significantly higher fair value measurements for the associated assets. Generally, when market interest rates decline and other factors favorable to prepayments occur, there is a corresponding increase in prepayment rates as customers are expected to refinance existing mortgages under more favorable interest rate terms. Generally, changes in discount rates directionally mirror the changes in market interest rates. FHN’s Corporate Accounting Department monitors changes in the fair value of these securities monthly.

Loans held-for-sale. Foreclosure losses and prepayment rates are significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of FHN’s residential real estate loans held-for-sale. Loss severity trends are also assessed to evaluate the reasonableness of fair value estimates resulting from discounted cash flows methodologies as well as to estimate fair value for newly repurchased loans and loans that are near foreclosure. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements. Draw rates were an additional significant unobservable input for HELOCs until the draw period closed in 2016. Increases (decreases) in the draw rate estimates for HELOCs would have increased (decreased) their fair value. All observable and unobservable inputs are re-assessed quarterly. Fair value measurements are reviewed at least quarterly by FHN’s Corporate Accounting Department.

Derivative liabilities. In conjunction with the sales of portions of its Visa Class B shares, FHN and the purchaser entered into derivative transactions whereby FHN will make, or receive, cash payments whenever the conversion ratio of the Visa Class B shares into Visa Class A shares is adjusted. FHN uses a discounted cash flow methodology in order to estimate the fair value of FHN’s derivative liabilities associated with its prior sales of Visa Class B shares. The methodology includes estimation of both the resolution amount for Visa’s Covered Litigation matters as well as the length of time until the resolution occurs. Significant increases (decreases) in either of these inputs in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair value measurements for the derivative liabilities. Additionally, FHN performs a probability weighted multiple resolution scenario to calculate the estimated fair value of these derivative liabilities. Assignment of higher (lower) probabilities to the larger potential resolution scenarios would result in an increase (decrease) in the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities. Since this estimation process requires application of judgment in developing significant unobservable inputs used to determine the possible outcomes and the probability weighting assigned to each scenario, these derivatives have been classified within Level 3 in fair value measurements disclosures. The valuation inputs and process are discussed with senior and executive management when significant events affecting the estimate of fair value occur. Inputs are compared to information obtained from the public issuances and filings of Visa, Inc. as well as public information released by other participants in the applicable litigation matters.

Loans, net of unearned income and Real estate acquired by foreclosure. Collateral-dependent loans and Real estate acquired by foreclosure are primarily valued using appraisals based on sales of comparable properties in the same or similar markets. Multiple appraisal firms are utilized to ensure that estimated values are consistent between firms. This process occurs within FHN’s Credit Risk Management (commercial) and Default Servicing functions (primarily consumer). The Credit Risk Management Committee reviews ORE dispositions and additions annually. Back testing is performed during the year through comparison to ultimate disposition values. Other collateral (receivables, inventory, equipment, etc.) is valued through borrowing base certificates, financial statements and/or auction valuations. These valuations are discounted based on the quality of reporting, knowledge of the marketability/collectability of the collateral and historical disposition rates.

Other assets – tax credit investments. The estimated fair value of tax credit investments accounted for under the equity method is generally determined in relation to the yield (i.e., future tax credits to be received) an acquirer of these investments would expect in relation to the yields experienced on current new issue and/or secondary market transactions. Thus, as tax credits are recognized, the future yield to a market participant is reduced, resulting in consistent impairment of the individual investments. Individual investments are reviewed for impairment quarterly, which may include the consideration of additional marketability discounts related to specific investments which

168

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 24  q  Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities (continued)

typically includes consideration of the underlying property’s appraised value. Unusual valuation adjustments and the associated triggering events are discussed with senior and executive management when appropriate. A portfolio review is conducted annually, with the assistance of a third party, to assess the reasonableness of current valuations.

Fair Value Option

FHN has elected the fair value option on a prospective basis for almost all types of mortgage loans originated for sale purposes under the Financial Instruments Topic (“ASC 825”). FHN determined that the election reduces certain timing differences and better matches changes in the value of such loans with changes in the value of derivatives and forward delivery commitments used as economic hedges for these assets at the time of election.

Repurchased loans are recognized within loans held-for-sale at fair value at the time of repurchase, which includes consideration of the credit status of the loans and the estimated liquidation value. FHN has elected to continue recognition of these loans at fair value in periods subsequent to reacquisition. Due to the credit-distressed nature of the vast majority of repurchased loans and the related loss severities experienced upon repurchase, FHN believes that the fair value election provides a more timely recognition of changes in value for these loans that occur subsequent to repurchase. Absent the fair value election, these loans would be subject to valuation at the LOCOM value, which would prevent subsequent values from exceeding the initial fair value, determined at the time of repurchase, but would require recognition of subsequent declines in value. Thus, the fair value election provides for a more timely recognition of any potential future recoveries in asset values while not affecting the requirement to recognize subsequent declines in value.

The following tables reflect the differences between the fair value carrying amount of residential real estate loans held-for-sale measured at fair value in accordance with management’s election and the aggregate unpaid principal amount FHN is contractually entitled to receive at maturity.

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, the amounts for residential real estate loans held-for-sale include a gain of $1.5 million, $.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in pretax earnings that are attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. The portion of the fair value adjustments related to credit risk was determined based on estimated default rates and estimated loss severities. Interest income on residential real estate loans held-for-sale measured at fair value is calculated based on the note rate of the loan and is recorded in the interest income section of the Consolidated Statements of Income as interest on loans held-for-sale.

Determination of Fair Value

In accordance with ASC 820-10-35, fair values are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following describes the assumptions and methodologies used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Condition and for estimating the fair value of financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed under ASC 825-10-50.

Short-term financial assets. Federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions and the Federal Reserve are carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Trading securities and trading liabilities. Trading securities and trading liabilities are recognized at fair value through current earnings. Trading inventory held for broker-dealer operations is included in trading securities and trading liabilities. Broker-dealer long positions are valued at bid price in the bid-ask spread. Short positions are valued at the ask price. Inventory positions are valued using observable inputs including current market transactions, LIBOR and U.S. treasury curves, credit spreads, and consensus prepayment speeds. Trading loans are valued using observable inputs including current market transactions, swap rates, mortgage rates, and consensus prepayment speeds.

Trading securities also include retained interests in prior securitizations that qualify as financial assets, which include primarily principal-only strips. Subordinated bonds were included in mortgage trading securities prior to payoff in first quarter 2016. FHN uses inputs including yield curves, credit spreads, and prepayment speeds to determine the fair value of principal-only strips. Subordinated bonds are bonds with junior priority and were valued using an internal model which included contractual terms, frequency and severity of loss (credit spreads), prepayment speeds of the underlying collateral, and the yield that a market participant would require.

Securities available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale includes the investment portfolio accounted for as available-for-sale under ASC 320-10-25, federal bank stock holdings, and short-term investments in mutual funds. Valuations of available-for-sale securities are performed using observable inputs obtained from market transactions in similar securities. Typical inputs include LIBOR and U.S. treasury curves, consensus prepayment estimates, and credit spreads. When available, broker quotes are used to support these valuations.

170

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 24  q  Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities (continued)

Investments in the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Banks are recognized at historical cost in the Consolidated Statements of Condition which is considered to approximate fair value. Short-term investments in mutual funds are measured at the funds’ reported closing net asset values. Investments in equity securities are valued using quoted market prices when available. Cost method investments are valued at historical cost less any recorded impairment due to the illiquid nature of these investments.

Securities held-to-maturity. Securities held-to-maturity reflects debt securities for which management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. To the extent possible, valuations of held-to-maturity securities are performed using observable inputs obtained from market transactions in similar securities. Typical inputs include LIBOR and U.S. treasury curves and credit spreads. Debt securities with limited trading activity are valued using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates a combination of observable and unobservable inputs. Primary observable inputs include contractual cash flows, the treasury curve and credit spreads from similar instruments. Significant unobservable inputs include estimated credit spreads for individual issuers and instruments as well as prepayment speeds, as applicable.

Loans held-for-sale. Residential real estate loans held-for-sale are valued using current transaction prices and/or values on similar assets when available, including committed bids for specific loans or loan portfolios. Uncommitted bids may be adjusted based on other available market information. For all other loans FHN determines the fair value of residential real estate loans held-for-sale using a discounted cash flow model which incorporates both observable and unobservable inputs. Inputs include current mortgage rates for similar products, estimated prepayment rates, foreclosure losses, and various loan performance measures (delinquency, LTV, credit score). Adjustments for delinquency and other differences in loan characteristics are typically reflected in the model’s discount rates. Loss severity trends and the value of underlying collateral are also considered in assessing the appropriate fair value for severely delinquent loans and loans in foreclosure. The valuation of HELOCs also incorporates estimates of loan draw rates, when still in the draw period, as well as estimated cancellation rates for loans expected to become delinquent.

Loans held-for-sale also include loans made by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), which are accounted for at LOCOM. The fair value of SBA loans is determined using an expected cash flow model that utilizes observable inputs such as the spread between LIBOR and prime rates, consensus prepayment speeds, and the treasury curve. The fair value of other non-residential real estate loans held-for-sale is approximated by their carrying values based on current transaction values.

Loans, net of unearned income. Loans, net of unearned income are recognized at the amount of funds advanced, less charge-offs and an estimation of credit risk represented by the allowance for loan losses. The fair value estimates for disclosure purposes differentiate loans based on their financial characteristics, such as product classification, vintage, loan category, pricing features, and remaining maturity.

The fair value of floating rate loans is estimated through comparison to recent market activity in loans of similar product types, with adjustments made for differences in loan characteristics. In situations where market pricing inputs are not available, fair value is considered to approximate book value due to the monthly repricing for commercial and consumer loans, with the exception of floating rate 1-4 family residential mortgage loans which reprice annually and will lag movements in market rates. The fair value for floating rate 1-4 family mortgage loans is calculated by discounting future cash flows to their present value. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value by using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same time period. Prepayment assumptions based on historical prepayment speeds and industry speeds for similar loans have been applied to the floating rate 1-4 family residential mortgage portfolio.

The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated through comparison to recent market activity in loans of similar product types, with adjustments made for differences in loan characteristics. In situations where market pricing inputs are not available, fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows to their present value. Future cash flows are discounted to their present value by using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same time period. Prepayment assumptions based on historical prepayment speeds and industry speeds for similar loans have been applied to the fixed rate mortgage and installment loan portfolios.

171

Note 24  q  Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities (continued)

For all loan portfolio classes, adjustments are made to reflect liquidity or illiquidity of the market. Such adjustments reflect discounts that FHN believes are consistent with what a market participant would consider in determining fair value given current market conditions.

Individually impaired loans are measured using either a discounted cash flow methodology or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell, if the loan is considered collateral-dependent. In accordance with accounting standards, the discounted cash flow analysis utilizes the loan’s effective interest rate for discounting expected cash flow amounts. Thus, this analysis is not considered a fair value measurement in accordance with ASC 820. However, the results of this methodology are considered to approximate fair value for the applicable loans. Expected cash flows are derived from internally-developed inputs primarily reflecting expected default rates on contractual cash flows. For loans measured using the estimated fair value of collateral less costs to sell, fair value is estimated using appraisals of the collateral. Collateral values are monitored and additional write-downs are recognized if it is determined that the estimated collateral values have declined further. Estimated costs to sell are based on current amounts of disposal costs for similar assets. Carrying value is considered to reflect fair value for these loans.

Mortgage servicing rights. FHN recognizes all classes of MSR at fair value. In third quarter 2013, FHN agreed to sell substantially all of its remaining legacy mortgage servicing. After that time FHN used the price in the definitive agreement, as adjusted for the portion of pricing that was not specific to the MSR, as a third-party pricing source in the valuation of the remaining first lien mortgage MSR, which was completely de-recognized by the end of 2016. The remaining MSR relates to servicing of other consumer real estate loans and is valued using a discounted cash flow methodology.

Derivative assets and liabilities. The fair value for forwards and futures contracts is based on current transactions involving identical securities. Futures contracts are exchange-traded and thus have no credit risk factor assigned as the risk of non-performance is limited to the clearinghouse used.

Valuations of other derivatives (primarily interest rate related swaps) are based on inputs observed in active markets for similar instruments. Typical inputs include the LIBOR curve, Overnight Indexed Swap (“OIS”) curve, option volatility, and option skew. In measuring the fair value of these derivative assets and liabilities, FHN has elected to consider credit risk based on the net exposure to individual counterparties. Credit risk is mitigated for these instruments through the use of mutual margining and master netting agreements as well as collateral posting requirements. Any remaining credit risk related to interest rate derivatives is considered in determining fair value through evaluation of additional factors such as customer loan grades and debt ratings. Foreign currency related derivatives also utilize observable exchange rates in the determination of fair value. The determination of fair value for FHN’s derivative liabilities associated with its prior sales of Visa Class B shares are classified within Level 3 in the fair value measurements disclosure as previously discussed in the unobservable inputs discussion.

Real estate acquired by foreclosure. Real estate acquired by foreclosure primarily consists of properties that have been acquired in satisfaction of debt. These properties are carried at the lower of the outstanding loan amount or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell the real estate. Estimated fair value is determined using appraised values with subsequent adjustments for deterioration in values that are not reflected in the most recent appraisal.

Nonearning assets. For disclosure purposes, nonearning financial assets include cash and due from banks, accrued interest receivable, and fixed income receivables. Due to the short-term nature of cash and due from banks, accrued interest receivable, and fixed income receivables, the fair value is approximated by the book value.

Other assets. For disclosure purposes, other assets consist of tax credit investments and deferred compensation assets that are considered financial assets. Tax credit investments accounted for under the equity method are written down to estimated fair value quarterly based on the estimated value of the associated tax credits which incorporates estimates of required yield for hypothetical investors. The fair value of all other tax credit investments is estimated using recent transaction information with adjustments for differences in individual investments. Deferred compensation assets are recognized at fair value, which is based on quoted prices in active markets.

172

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION


 

Note 24  q  Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities (continued)

Defined maturity deposits. The fair value of these deposits is estimated by discounting future cash flows to their present value. Future cash flows are discounted by using the current market rates of similar instruments applicable to the remaining maturity. For disclosure purposes, defined maturity deposits include all certificates of deposit and other time deposits.

Undefined maturity deposits. In accordance with ASC 825, the fair value of these deposits is approximated by the book value. For the purpose of this disclosure, undefined maturity deposits include demand deposits, checking interest accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts.

Short-term financial liabilities. The fair value of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings are approximated by the book value. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Term borrowings. The fair value of term borrowings is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for the identical liability when traded as an asset. When pricing information for the identical liability is not available, relevant prices for similar debt instruments are used with adjustments being made to the prices obtained for differences in characteristics of the debt instruments. If no relevant pricing information is available, the fair value is approximated by the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted by the investor’s yield which considers FHN’s and FTBNA’s debt ratings.

Other noninterest-bearing liabilities. For disclosure purposes, other noninterest-bearing financial liabilities include accrued interest payable and fixed income payables. Due to the short-term nature of these liabilities, the book value is considered to approximate fair value.

Loan commitments. Fair values of these commitments are based on fees charged to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

Other commitments. Fair values of these commitments are based on fees charged to enter into similar agreements.

The following fair value estimates are determined as of a specific point in time utilizing various assumptions and estimates. The use of assumptions and various valuation techniques, as well as the absence of secondary markets for certain financial instruments, reduces the comparability of fair value disclosures between financial institutions. Due to market illiquidity, the fair values for loans, net of unearned income, loans held-for-sale, and term borrowings as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, involve the use of significant internally-developed pricing assumptions for certain components of these line items. The assumptions and valuations utilized for this disclosure are considered to reflect inputs that market participants would use in transactions involving these instruments as of the measurement date. The valuations of legacy assets, particularly consumer loans within the non-strategic segment and TRUP loans, are influenced by changes in economic conditions since origination and risk perceptions of the financial sector. These considerations affect the estimate of a potential acquirer’s cost of capital and cash flow volatility assumptions from these assets and the resulting fair value measurements may depart significantly from FHN’s internal estimates of the intrinsic value of these assets.

Assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments have not been included in the following table such as the value of long-term relationships with deposit and trust customers, premises and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles, deferred taxes, and certain other assets and other liabilities. Additionally, these measurements are solely for financial instruments as of the measurement date and do not consider the earnings potential of our various business lines. Accordingly, the total of the fair value amounts does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of FHN.

The following tables summarize the book value and estimated fair value of financial instruments recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Condition as well as unfunded loan commitments and stand by and other commitments as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Certain previously reported amounts have been revised to reflect the retroactive effect of the adoption of ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information.

Yields and corresponding income amounts are adjusted to a FTE basis assuming a statutory federal income tax rate of 35 percent and, where applicable, state income taxes.

Earning assets yields are expressed net of unearned income. Rates are expressed net of unamortized debenture cost for long-term debt. Net interest margin is computed using total net interest income.
