Pending Merger
As previously disclosed, on November 3, 2019, the Company entered into a merger agreement to combine with First Horizon National Corporation (First Horizon) in an all-stock merger of equals. On April 24, 2020, the Company received shareholder approval for the merger. The merger is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2020, pending receipt of the remaining regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
Changes in Significant Accounting Policies
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” (ASC 326) which significantly changed the measurement of credit losses for certain financial investments, such as loans (including unfunded loan commitments) and investment securities. See Note, 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a complete discussion. The adoption of ASC 326 impacts the accounting policies for the following: Investment Securities; Loans and Leases; and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses. Other than the accounting policy updates below, there have been no changes to the accounting policies as described in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K.
Investment Securities
Management determines the appropriate accounting classification of debt and equity securities at the time of acquisition and re-evaluates such designations at least quarterly. Debt securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are classified as HTM and carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using methods approximating the interest method. Securities acquired with the intent of recognizing short-term profits or which are actively bought and sold are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value. Securities not classified as HTM or trading are classified as AFS and reported at fair value. The Company evaluates its investment securities portfolio for impairment on a quarterly basis as follows:
HTM Securities: The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses appropriate to absorb estimated lifetime credit losses for HTM securities where there is a risk of credit loss. HTM securities where there is a risk of credit loss are segmented by credit rating and duration and an allowance for expected credit losses is calculated based on external historical loss data, taking into consideration management’s forecast of future economic conditions. The allowance of expected credit losses, if required, is recognized on the consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings.
AFS Securities: Declines in the fair value of individual AFS securities below their amortized cost basis are reviewed to determine if the decline is due to credit-related factors. Impairment that is not credit-related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for expected credit losses on the consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. However, if the Company intends to sell the impaired AFS security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such a security before recovering the amortized cost basis of the security, the AFS security’s amortized cost basis is reduced by the decline in fair value with the entire credit loss recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
Prior to January 1, 2020, investment securities were evaluated for indicators of other than temporary impairment (OTTI) on a quarterly basis. Declines in the fair value of individual HTM and AFS securities below their amortized cost basis were reviewed to determine whether the declines were other than temporary. In estimating OTTI losses, management considered 1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value had been less than the amortized cost basis, 2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, 3) its intent to sell and whether it was more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell those securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis, and 4) for debt securities, the recovery of contractual principal and interest. For securities that the Company did not expect to sell, or it was not more likely than not it would be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the credit component of an OTTI was recognized in earnings and the non-credit component was recognized in OCI. For securities that the Company did expect to sell, or it was more likely than not that it would be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, both the credit and non-credit component of an OTTI were recognized in earnings. Subsequent to recognition of OTTI, an increase in expected cash flows was recognized as a yield adjustment over the remaining expected life of the security based on an evaluation of the nature of the increase.
Other equity securities primarily consist of stock acquired for regulatory purposes, such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock and are included in “other assets."
Gains or losses on securities sold are recorded on the trade date, using the specific identification method.
Loans and Leases
Loans
The Company offers commercial and consumer loans for its customers. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost, which represents the principal amount outstanding less charge-offs, net of any unearned income, unamortized net loan origination fees and direct costs on originated loans, and net premiums or discounts on acquired loans. Interest income is accrued as earned over the term of the loans based on the principal balance outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield. Accrued interest is reported within other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
Acquired loans are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The determination of fair value includes credit risk assumptions and any resulting credit discounts as well as estimates related to discount rates, expected prepayments, and the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows. Additionally, at the time of acquisition, acquired loans are classified as either purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) or non-purchased credit deteriorated (non-PCD). Acquired loans which have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit since origination are classified as PCD Loans. All acquired loans not considered to be purchased credit deteriorated loans are classified as acquired non-PCD Loans. An initial allowance for expected credit losses (AECL) is established at the acquisition date for acquired loans and the classification of PCD or non-PCD determines how the initial AECL is recorded. For PCD Loans, the AECL is recorded with a corresponding increase to the amortized cost basis of the loan by reducing the purchase premium or discount recognized on the acquired loan. For acquired non-PCD loans, the AECL is recorded with a corresponding charge to earnings. Subsequent to acquisition, the AECL for both PCD Loans and acquired non-PCD loans is determined using the same methodology as originated loans. The non-credit related purchase premium or discount on acquired loans is amortized or accreted to income over the estimated life of the loans as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest rate calculated at the acquisition date.
Prior to January 1, 2020, acquired loans that reflected credit deterioration since origination to the extent that it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments were classified as purchased impaired loans (“acquired impaired loans”). All other acquired loans were classified as purchased non-impaired loans (“acquired non-impaired loans”). At the time of acquisition, acquired impaired loans were accounted for individually or aggregated into loan pools with similar characteristics. From these pools, the Company used certain loan information to estimate the expected cash flows for each loan pool. For acquired impaired loans, the expected cash flows at the acquisition date in excess of the fair value of loans were recorded as interest income over the life of the loans using a level yield method if the timing and amount of future cash flows was reasonably estimable. For acquired non-impaired loans, the difference between the fair value and unpaid principal balance of the loan at acquisition, referred to as a purchase premium or discount, was amortized or accreted to income over the estimated life of the loans as an adjustment to yield. Subsequent to acquisition, the Company performed cash flow re-estimations at least quarterly for each acquired impaired loan or loan pool. Increases in estimated cash flows above those expected at the time of acquisition were recognized on a prospective basis as interest income over the remaining life of the loan and/or pool. Decreases in expected cash flows subsequent to acquisition generally resulted in recognition of a provision for credit loss. The measurement of cash flows involved several assumptions and judgments, including prepayments, default rates and loss severity among other factors. All of these factors were inherently subjective and significant changes in the cash flow estimations could result over the life of the loan.
Leases
The Company leases equipment to commercial customers primarily through direct financing and sales-type leases. Equipment financing leases are reported at the net lease investment, which represents the sum of minimum lease payments over the lease term and the estimated residual value, less unearned interest income. Interest income is accrued as earned over the term of the lease based on the net investment in leases. Fees incurred to originate the lease are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the lease.
Portfolio Segmentation
The Company’s loan portfolio is disaggregated into two portfolio segments: commercial loans and leases and consumer loans. The Company further disaggregates the commercial loans and leases and the consumer loans portfolio segment into receivable classes for purposes of monitoring and assessing credit quality. Receivable classes within the commercial loan and lease portfolio segment include commercial real estate-construction, commercial real estate-owner occupied, commercial real estate-non-owner occupied, and commercial and industrial, which includes equipment financing leases. Receivable classes within the consumer loan portfolio segment include residential mortgage, home equity, and other consumer.
Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company’s loan portfolio was disaggregated into three portfolio segments: commercial, residential mortgage, and consumer and other loans. Receivable classes within the commercial loan portfolio segment included commercial real estate-construction, commercial real estate-owner-occupied, commercial real estate-non-owner occupied, and commercial and industrial. Receivable classes within the consumer and other loans portfolio segment included home equity, indirect automobile, credit card and other.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Company periodically grants concessions to its customers in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible and minimize risk of loss. These concessions may include restructuring the terms of a loan to alleviate the burden of the customer’s near-term cash requirements. In order to be classified as a TDR, the Company must conclude that the restructuring constitutes a concession and the customer is experiencing financial difficulties. The Company defines a concession to the customer as a modification of existing terms for economic or legal reasons that it would otherwise not consider. The concession is either granted through an agreement with the customer or is imposed by a court of law. Concessions include modifying original loan terms to reduce or defer cash payments required as part of the loan agreement, including but not limited to:

a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the loan,
extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new loans with similar risk characteristics,
reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the loan as stated in the agreement, or
reduction of accrued interest receivable on the loan.

In its determination of whether the customer is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company considers numerous indicators, including, but not limited to:

whether the customer is currently in default on its existing loan(s), or is in an economic position where it is probable the customer will be in default on its loan(s) in the foreseeable future without a modification,
whether the customer has declared bankruptcy,
whether there is substantial doubt about the customer’s ability to continue as a going concern,
whether, based on its projections of the customer’s current capabilities, the Company believes the customer’s future cash flows will be insufficient to service the loan, including interest, in accordance with the contractual terms of the existing agreement for the foreseeable future, and
whether the customer cannot obtain sufficient funds from other sources at an effective interest rate equal to the current market rate for a similar loan for a non-troubled debtor.
If the Company concludes that both a concession has been granted and the customer is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company identifies the loan as a TDR. Prior to January 2020, all TDRs were considered impaired loans and acquired impaired loans accounted for within pools were not reviewed for TDR classification if modified.
Non-accrual and Past Due Loans and Leases (Including Loan Charge-offs)
Loans and leases are generally considered past due when contractual payments of principal and interest have not been received within 30 days after the contractual due date. Residential mortgage loans are considered past due when contractual payments have not been received for two consecutive payment dates.
Loans and leases are placed on non-accrual status when any of the following occur: 1) the loan or lease is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower; 2) collection of the full contractual amount of principal and interest is not expected even if the loan or lease is currently paying as agreed; or 3) when principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more, unless the loan or lease is both well-secured and in the process of collection. Factors considered in determining the collection of the full contractual amount of principal and interest include assessment of the borrower’s cash flow, valuation of underlying collateral, and the ability and willingness of guarantors to provide credit support.  Certain commercial loans and leases are also placed on non-accrual status when payment is not past due and full payment of principal and interest is expected, but the Company has doubt about the borrower’s ability to comply with existing repayment terms. Consideration will be given to placing a loan or lease on non-accrual due to the deterioration of the debtor’s repayment ability, the repayment of the loan or lease becoming dependent on the liquidation of collateral, an existing collateral deficiency, the loan or lease being classified as "doubtful" or "loss," the client filing for bankruptcy, and/or foreclosure being initiated. For all commercial loans and leases, the determination of a borrower’s ability to make the required principal and interest payments is based on an examination of the borrower’s current financial statements, industry, management capabilities, and other qualitative factors. Loans and leases are evaluated for potential charge-off in accordance with the parameters discussed in the following paragraph or when the loan or lease is placed on non-accrual status, whichever is earlier. Prior to January 1, 2020, acquired impaired loans were placed on non-accrual status when the Company could not reasonably estimate cash flows on the loan or loan pool. 
Loans and leases within the commercial portfolio are generally evaluated for charge-off at 90 days past due, unless both well-secured and in the process of collection. Closed and open-end consumer loans and leases are evaluated for charge-off no later than 120 days past due. Any outstanding loan balance in excess of the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell is charged-off no later than 120 days past due for loans secured by real estate. For non-real estate secured loans and leases, in lieu of charging off the entire balance, loans or leases may be written down to the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell if repossession of collateral is assured and in process. Prior to January 1, 2020, acquired impaired loans were not generally evaluated for charge-off.
The accrual of interest, as well as the amortization/accretion of any remaining unamortized net deferred fees or costs and discount or premium, is discontinued at the time the loan or lease is placed on non-accrual status. Accrued but uncollected interest for all loans and leases that are placed on non-accrual status is generally reversed through interest income at 90 days past due. As accrued but uncollected interest is reversed on a timely basis, the Company does not estimate an AECL for accrued interest. Cash receipts received on non-accrual loans or leases are generally applied against principal until the loan or lease has been collected in full, after which time any additional cash receipts are recognized as interest income (i.e., cost recovery method). However, interest may be accounted for under the cash-basis method as long as the remaining recorded investment in the loan is deemed fully collectible.
Loans and leases are returned to accrual status when the borrower has demonstrated a capacity to continue payment of the debt (generally a minimum of six months of sustained repayment performance) and collection of contractually required principal and interest associated with the debt is reasonably assured. Additionally, for a non-accrual TDR to be returned to accrual status, a current, well-documented credit analysis is required and the borrower must have complied with all terms of the modification. At such time, the accrual of interest and amortization/accretion of any remaining unamortized net deferred fees or costs and discount or premium shall resume. Any interest income which was applied to the principal balance shall not be reversed and subsequently will be recognized as an adjustment to yield over the remaining life of the loan.
Individually Assessed Loans and Leases/Impaired Loans
When a loan or lease no longer shares risk characteristics with other loans or leases, it is individually assessed for impairment. While management considers a variety of factors in determining when a loan no longer shares risk characteristics with other loans, generally all TDR and non-accrual loans above certain thresholds are considered to meet this requirement and are individually assessed for impairment. Impairment losses are measured on a loan-by-loan basis for these commercial and consumer loans and leases, based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan or lease’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan or lease is collateral-dependent. This measurement requires significant judgment and use of estimates, and the actual loss ultimately recognized by the Company may differ significantly from the estimates.
Prior to January 1, 2020, a loan was considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally all TDRs regardless of the outstanding balance amount or portfolio classification, and all acquired impaired loans were considered to be impaired. Loans that experienced insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally were not classified as impaired. Impairment losses were measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and certain residential mortgage or consumer loans, based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan was collateral-dependent.
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
The Company maintains the AECL at a level that management believes appropriate to absorb estimated lifetime credit losses, including losses associated with unfunded commitments. The AECL includes the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) (contra asset) and the reserve for unfunded commitments (liability).
Determination of the appropriate AECL involves a high degree of complexity and requires significant judgment regarding the credit quality of the loan portfolio and management’s view of future economic conditions. Several factors are taken into consideration in the determination of the overall AECL which include, but are not limited to, the overall risk profiles of the loan and lease portfolios, net charge-off experience, the level of loans and leases that require an individual assessment for impairment, the level of non-performing loans and leases, the level of 90 days past due loans and leases, the value of collateral, among other factors. The Company also considers forecasts of future national and regional economic conditions, overall asset quality trends, changes in lending practices and procedures, trends in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio (including the existence and effect of any portfolio concentrations), changes in experience and depth of lending staff, the Company’s legal, regulatory and competitive environment, and data availability and applicability that might impact the portfolio or the manner in which it estimates losses, risk rating accuracy, and risk identification.
The Company has developed multiple current expected credit loss models (ECL Models) which segment the Company’s loan and lease portfolio by borrower type (i.e. commercial and consumer) and loan or lease type to estimate lifetime expected credit losses for loans and leases that share similar risk characteristics. These ECL Models primarily use a probability-of-default methodology to estimate expected credit losses for all loan and lease commitments. Within each ECL Model, PDs and LGDs are established at the individual loan or lease commitment level based on various loan or lease specific characteristics. For commercial loans and leases, these characteristics include customer size, industry sector, geographic region, risk rating and collateral/property type, among others. For consumer loans, these characteristics include geographic region, loan size, customer size, fixed or variable rate, lien position, and FICO score, among others. The ECL Models use both internal and external historical loss data, as appropriate, for all available historical periods and a blend of multiple economic forecasts as approved by ALCO to estimate expected credit losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. The ECL Models then revert to longer term historical loss experience on a straight-line basis to arrive at lifetime expected credit losses. The selection of the economic forecasts, the forecast period and reversion period and methodology are reviewed and approved quarterly. The ECL Models also take into consideration the effects of prepayments and draw-down assumptions for any unfunded commitments, as applicable. Qualitative adjustments are incorporated into the ECL Model-based estimate of expected credit losses to accommodate for the imprecision of certain assumptions and uncertainties inherent in the calculation.
Loans or leases that no longer share similar risk characteristics with other loans or leases in the portfolio must be individually evaluated for impairment. For these loans and leases, the AECL is determined on an individual loan and lease commitment basis, taking into consideration facts and circumstances specific to each borrower. As discussed above, the AECL for individually assessed loans or leases is based on the difference between the recorded investment in the loan or lease and either the estimated net present value of projected cash flows or the estimated value of the collateral associated with a collateral-dependent loan, less cost to sell.
The overall AECL is allocated between the ALLL and the reserve for unfunded commitments based on the loan’s percentage funded and the future funding expectations of the loan.
Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for credit losses was maintained at a level appropriate to absorb estimated probable credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio, including unfunded commitments as of the consolidated balance sheet date. The manner in which the allowance for credit losses was determined was based on 1) the accounting method applied to the underlying loans and 2) whether the loan was required to be measured for impairment. The Company delineated between loans accounted for under the contractual yield method, legacy loans (originated loans), acquired non-impaired loans, and acquired impaired loans. Further, for legacy and acquired non-impaired loans, the Company attributed portions of the allowance for credit losses to loans and loan commitments that it measured individually, and groups of homogeneous loans and loan commitments that it measured collectively for impairment.
Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for loan losses for all impaired loans (excluding acquired impaired loans) was determined on an individual loan basis, considering the facts and circumstances specific to each borrower. The allowance was based on the difference between the recorded investment in the loan and generally either the estimated net present value of projected cash flows or the estimated value of the collateral associated with a collateral-dependent loan. The determination of the allowance for loan losses for acquired impaired loans prior to January 1, 2020 is further discussed in the “Loans” section of this footnote.

Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for loan losses for all non-impaired loans (excluding acquired impaired loans) was calculated based on pools of loans with similar characteristics. The pool-level allowance was calculated through the application of PD and LGD factors for each individual loan. PDs and LGDs were determined based on historical default and loss information for similar loans. For purposes of establishing estimated loss percentages for pools of loans that shared common risk characteristics, the Company’s loan portfolio was segmented by various loan characteristics including loan type, risk rating for commercial, Vantage or FICO score for residential mortgage and consumer, past due status for residential mortgage and consumer and call report code. The default and loss information was measured over an appropriate period for each loan pool and adjusted as deemed appropriate. Qualitative adjustments were incorporated into the pool-level analysis to accommodate for the imprecision of certain assumptions and uncertainties inherent in the calculation.
