EXHIBIT 99.1
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Third quarter saw continued solid performance and improved profitability from the regional banking and capital markets businesses at First Horizon National Corp. (NYSE:FHN). Revenues, loans, deposits and fixed income activity all were up in the third quarter, and the mortgage repurchase provision expense for the quarter was zero as expected.
Third-quarter net income available to common shareholders was $26 million. Recently issued regulatory guidelines on consumer loans had a negative impact of $0.07 on earnings per share, which was $0.10 for the quarter.
"Our employees continue to do a fantastic job building relationships with our customers, winning new business and working more efficiently, and that's reflected in the financial results for our core businesses," said Bryan Jordan, First Horizon chairman and CEO. "We're continuing to unwind our non-strategic businesses, simplify our processes and create new ways of connecting with our customers."

Use of non-GAAP measures
Certain measures are included in this release that are non-GAAP, meaning they are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. FHN's management believes such measures are relevant to understanding the capital position and results of the company. The non-GAAP items presented in this release are per-share impact of certain charges, tangible book value per common share, adjusted tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets and net interest margin computed using net interest income adjusted for FTE. These measures are reported to FHN's management and board of directors through various internal reports. Additionally, disclosure of the non-GAAP capital ratios provides a meaningful base for comparability to other financial institutions as demonstrated by their use by the various banking regulators in reviewing the capital adequacy of financial institutions. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by FHN. The reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures and presentation of the most comparable GAAP items can be found in this table:
