Forward-Looking Statements

This report, including material incorporated into it, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements pertain to FHN's beliefs, plans, goals, expectations, and estimates. Forward-looking statements are not a representation of historical information, but instead pertain to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “should,” “is likely,” “will,” “going forward,” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends.

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 and could cause FHN’s actual future results and outcomes to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements or historical performance. Examples of uncertainties and contingencies include, among other important factors:

•the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the IBKC merger will not be realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in any or all of FHN’s market areas;

•potential adverse reactions or changes to business or associate relationships resulting from the IBKC merger;

•global, general and local economic and business conditions, including economic recession or depression;

•the potential impacts on FHN’s businesses of the COVID-19 pandemic, including negative impacts from quarantines, market declines, and volatility, and changes in client behavior related to the COVID-19 pandemic;

•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;

•the financial condition of borrowers and other counterparties;

•competition within and outside the financial services industry;

•the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, global pandemics, conflicts, or terrorist attacks, or other adverse external events;

•effectiveness and cost-efficiency of FHN’s hedging practices;

•fraud, theft, or other incursions through conventional, electronic, or other means directly or indirectly affecting FHN or its clients, business counterparties or competitors;

•the ability to adapt products and services to changing industry standards and client preferences;

•risks 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 client profiles;

•the changes in the regulation of the U.S. financial services industry;

•changes in laws, regulations, and administrative actions, including executive orders, whether or not specific to the financial services industry;

•changes in accounting policies, standards, and interpretations;

•evolving capital and liquidity standards under applicable regulatory rules;

•accounting policies and processes require management to make estimates about matters that are uncertain;

•the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the TD Merger Agreement;

•the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against FHN, TD, or TD-US, including potential litigation that has been or may be instituted against FHN or its directors or officers related to the Proposed TD Merger or the TD Merger Agreement;

•the timing and completion of the Proposed TD Merger, including the possibility that the Proposed TD Merger will not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder, or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated;

•the , extent, timing, and results of governmental actions, examinations, reviews, reforms, regulations, and interpretations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions, and other regulators

•the risk that any announcements relating to the Proposed TD Merger could have adverse effects on the market price of the common stock of FHN;

•certain restrictions during the pendency of the Proposed TD Merger that may impact FHN’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions;

•the possibility that the Proposed TD Merger may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events;

•the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities caused by the Proposed TD Merger;

•reputational risk and potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement of the Proposed TD Merger; and

•other factors that may affect the future results of FHN.

FHN cautions readers of this report that the list above is not exhaustive as of the date of this report. Further, FHN assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made in this report or in any other statement, release, report, or filing from time to time. Actual results could differ and FHN’s estimates and expectations could change, possibly materially, because of one or more factors, including those factors listed above or presented elsewhere in this report or those factors

listed in material incorporated by reference into this report. In evaluating forward-looking statements and assessing FHN’s prospects, readers of this report should carefully consider the factors mentioned above along with the additional risk and uncertainty factors discussed in Item 1A of Part II of this report and in the forepart, and in Items 1, 1A, and 7, of FHN’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, along with any additional factors which might materially affect future results and outcomes.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND NON-GAAP INFORMATION
Table of Contents

Non-GAAP Information

Certain measures included in this report are “non-GAAP,” meaning they are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 financial condition, capital position, and financial results of FHN and its business segments. Non-GAAP measures are reported to FHN’s management and Board of Directors through various internal reports.

The non-GAAP measures presented in this report are: pre-provision net revenue, return on average tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets, adjusted tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets, tangible book value per common share, and loans and leases excluding PPP loans. Table I.1.24 appearing in the MD&A (Item 2 of Part I) of this report provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP items presented in this report to the most comparable GAAP presentation.

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 report include: common equity tier 1 capital, generally defined as common equity less goodwill, other intangibles, and certain other required regulatory deductions; 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; and risk-weighted assets, which is a measure of total on- and off-balance sheet assets adjusted for credit and market risk, used to determine regulatory capital ratios.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes necessary for complete financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all significant adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with FHN's audited consolidated financial statements and notes in FHN's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See the Glossary of Acronyms and Terms included in this Report for terms used herein.

Pending Merger

As previously disclosed, on February 27, 2022, FHN entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “TD Merger Agreement”) with The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Canadian chartered bank (“TD”), TD Bank US Holding Company, a Delaware corporation and indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of TD (“TD-US”), and Falcon Holdings Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of TD-US (“Merger Sub”).

Pursuant to the TD Merger Agreement, FHN and Merger Sub will merge (the “First Holding Company Merger”), with FHN continuing as the surviving entity in the merger. Following the First Holding Company Merger, at the election of TD, FHN and TD-US will merge (the “Second Holding Company Merger” and, together with the First Holding Company Merger, the “Holding Company Mergers”), with TD-US continuing as the surviving entity in the merger.

share of Company Common Stock on an annualized basis (or approximately 5.4 cents per month) for the period from November 28, 2022 through the day immediately prior to the closing.

Each outstanding share of FHN’s preferred stock, series B, C, D, E and F, will remain issued and outstanding in connection with the First Holding Company Merger. If TD elects to effect the Second Holding Company Merger, at the effective time of the Second Holding Company Merger, each outstanding share of FHN’s preferred stock will be converted into a share of a newly created, corresponding series of TD-US having terms as described in the Merger Agreement.

Following the completion of the First Holding Company Merger, at such time as determined by TD, First Horizon Bank and TD Bank, N.A., a national banking association (“TDBNA”) will merge, with TDBNA surviving as a subsidiary of TD-US (the “Bank Merger” and together with the Holding Company Mergers, the “Proposed TD Merger”).

The merger is expected to be completed in the first quarter of TD's 2023 fiscal year, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including approvals from FHN's shareholders and U.S. and Canadian regulatory authorities. Merger and integration expenses related to the Proposed TD Merger are recorded in FHN’s Corporate segment. Expenses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were approximately $9 million.

Accounting Changes With Extended Transition Periods

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” which provides several optional expedients and exceptions to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 primarily affect 1) contract modifications (e.g., loans, leases, debt, and derivatives) made in anticipation that a reference rate (e.g., LIBOR) will be discontinued and 2) the application of hedge accounting for existing relationships affected by those modifications. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 are effective upon release and apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain


			13			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents			NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION & ACCOUNTING POLICIES

optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship.

FHN has identified contracts affected by reference rate reform and developed modification plans for those contracts. FHN has elected to utilize the optional expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 for certain contract modifications that have already been implemented. For cash flow hedges that reference 1-Month USD LIBOR, FHN has applied expedients related to 1) the assumption of probability of cash flows when reference rates are changed on hedged items 2) avoiding de-designation when critical terms (i.e., reference rates) change and 3) the allowed assumption of shared risk exposure for hedged items. For its 2022 cash flow hedges that reference 1-Month Term SOFR, FHN has applied expedients related to 1) the allowed assumption of shared risk exposure for hedged items and 2) multiple allowed assumptions of conformity between hedged items and the hedging instrument when assessing effectiveness. FHN anticipates that it will continue to utilize the expedients and exceptions for future modifications in situations where they mitigate potential accounting outcomes that do not faithfully represent management’s intent or risk management activities, consistent with the purpose of the standard.

The FASB has proposed an extension of the transition window for ASU 2020-04 until December 31, 2024, consistent with key USD LIBOR tenors continuing to be published through June 30, 2023.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Scope" to expand the scope of ASU 2020-04 to apply to certain contract modifications that were implemented in October 2020 by derivative clearinghouses for the use of Secure Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR) in discounting, margining and price alignment for centrally cleared derivatives, including derivatives utilized in hedging relationships. ASU 2021-01 also applies to derivative contracts affected by the change in discounting convention regardless of whether they are centrally cleared (i.e., bi-lateral contracts can also be modified) and regardless of whether they reference LIBOR. ASU 2021-01 was effective immediately upon issuance with retroactive application permitted. FHN elected to retroactively apply the provisions of ASU 2021-01 because FHN's centrally cleared derivatives were affected by the change in discounting convention and because FHN has other bi-lateral derivative contracts that may be modified to conform to the use of SOFR for discounting. Adoption did not have a significant effect on FHN's reported financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Changes Issued But Not Currently Effective

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, "Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method", which will expand FHN's ability to hedge the benchmark interest rate risk of

portfolios of financial interests (or beneficial interests) in a fair value hedge. The provisions of ASU 2022-01 also permit FHN to apply the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and non-prepayable financial assets, namely by expanding the use of the "portfolio layer" method to non-prepayable financial assets. ASU 2022-01 also permits multiple hedged layers to be designated as a single closed portfolio to achieve hedge accounting. Additionally, the ASU requires that basis adjustments must be maintained on the closed portfolio of assets as a whole, and not allocated to individual assets for active portfolio layer method hedges.

ASU 2022-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. FHN is evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-01 on its future hedging strategies.

Also in March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” that eliminates current TDR recognition and measurement guidance and instead requires the Company to evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan (which is consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications). The provisions of ASU 2022-02 also enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduces new disclosures related to certain modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The provisions of this ASU also require FHN to disclose current period gross write-offs of loans and leases by year of origination.

ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. For the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, FHN has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Otherwise, provisions in this ASU will be applied prospectively. FHN is evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-02, and is not currently able to reasonably estimate the impact the adoption will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

FHN has evaluated all AFS debt securities that were in unrealized loss positions in accordance with its accounting policy for recognition of credit losses. No AFS debt securities were determined to have credit losses because the primary cause of the decline in value was attributable to changes in interest rates. Total AIR not included in the fair value or amortized cost basis of AFS debt securities

was $23 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Consistent with FHN's review of the related securities, there were no credit-related write downs of AIR for AFS debt securities during the reporting period. Additionally, for AFS 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. Therefore, no write downs of these investments to fair value occurred during the reporting period.

For HTM securities, an allowance for credit losses is required to absorb estimated lifetime credit losses. Total AIR not included in the fair value or amortized cost basis of HTM debt securities was $1 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. FHN has assessed the risk of credit loss and has determined that zero allowance for credit losses for HTM securities was necessary as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The evaluation of credit risk includes consideration of third-party and government guarantees (both explicit and implicit), senior or subordinated status, credit ratings of the issuer, the effects of interest rate changes since purchase and observable market information such as issuer-specific credit spreads.

The carrying amount of equity investments without a readily determinable fair value was $76 million and $70 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The year-to-date 2022 and 2021 gross amounts of upward and downward valuation adjustments were not significant.

Unrealized gains of $4 million and $3 million were recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for equity investments with readily determinable fair values.

Note 3—Loans and Leases

The loans and lease portfolio is disaggregated into portfolio 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 a disaggregation of a portfolio segment and is generally determined based on risk characteristics of the loan and FHN’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk and performance. FHN's loan and lease portfolio segments are commercial and consumer. The classes of loans and leases are: (1) commercial, financial, and industrial, which

includes commercial and industrial loans and leases and loans to mortgage companies, (2) commercial real estate, (3) consumer real estate, which includes both real estate installment and home equity lines of credit, and (4) credit card and other.

The following table provides the amortized cost basis of loans and leases by portfolio segment and class as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, excluding accrued interest of $134 million for both periods, which is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(b)Includes PPP loans fully guaranteed by the SBA of $642 million and $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Restrictions

Loans and leases with carrying values of $37.1 billion and $36.6 billion were pledged as collateral for borrowings at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of FHN’s business activity is with clients located in the southern United States. FHN’s lending activity is concentrated in its market areas within those states. As of March 31, 2022, FHN had loans to mortgage companies of $3.9 billion and loans to finance and insurance companies of $3.6 billion. As a result, 24% of the C&I portfolio is sensitive to impacts on the financial services industry.

Credit Quality Indicators

FHN employs a dual grade commercial risk grading methodology to assign an estimate for the probability of default and the loss given default 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 and lease portfolio by analyzing the migration between grading categories. It is also integral to the estimation methodology utilized in determining the ALLL 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. PD grades are continually evaluated but require a formal scorecard annually.

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). Special mention loans and leases have potential weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of FHN's credit position at some future date. Substandard commercial loans and leases have well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that FHN will sustain some loss if the


			18			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents			NOTE 3—LOANS & LEASES

deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful commercial loans and leases have the same weaknesses as substandard loans and leases with the added characteristics that the probability of loss is high and collection of the full amount is improbable.

The following tables provide the amortized cost basis of the commercial loan portfolio by year of origination and credit quality indicator as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

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 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 amortized cost basis by year of origination and refreshed FICO scores for

consumer real estate loans as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Within consumer real estate, classes include HELOC and real estate installment loans. HELOCs are loans which during their draw period are classified as revolving loans. Once the draw period ends and the loan enters its repayment period, the loan converts to a term loan and is classified as a revolving loan converted to a term loan. All loans classified in the following tables as revolving loans or revolving loans converted to term loans are HELOCs. Real estate installment loans are originated as fixed term loans and are classified below in their vintage year. All loans in the following tables classified in a vintage year are real estate installment loans.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans and Leases

Loans and leases are 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 nonaccrual are loans for which FHN continues to receive payments including residential real estate loans where the borrower has been discharged of personal obligation through bankruptcy.

Past due loans are loans contractually past due as to interest or principal payments, but which have not yet been put on nonaccrual status. In accordance with revised Interagency Guidance issued in 2020, FHN is not required to designate loans with deferrals granted in response to COVID-19 as past due because of such deferrals. If a borrower defers payment, this may result in no contractual payments being past due, and as such, loans would not be considered past due during the period of deferral, and as a result, are excluded from loans past due 30-89 days and loans 90+ days past due in the tables below.

Collateral-Dependent Loans

Collateral-dependent loans are defined as loans for which repayment is expected to be derived substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. At a minimum, the estimated value of the collateral for each loan equals the current book value.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FHN had commercial loans with amortized cost of approximately $96 million and $120 million, respectively, that were based on the value of underlying collateral. Collateral-dependent C&I and CRE loans totaled $93 million and $3 million, respectively, at March 31, 2022. The collateral for these loans generally consists of business assets including land, buildings, equipment and financial assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, FHN recognized charge-offs of approximately $4 million on these loans related to reductions in estimated collateral values.

Consumer HELOC and real estate installment loans with amortized cost based on the value of underlying real estate collateral were approximately $7 million and $20 million, respectively, as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were not significant for collateral-dependent consumer loans.

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. In accordance with regulatory guidance, certain loan modifications that might ordinarily have qualified as TDRs were not accounted for as TDRs and have been excluded from the disclosures below. For loan modifications that were made during the year ended December 31, 2021 that met the TDR relief provisions outlined in either the CARES Act, as extended by the CAA, or revised Interagency Guidance, FHN has excluded these modifications from consideration as TDRs, and has excluded loans with these qualifying modifications from designation as TDRs in the information and discussion that follows.

On March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FHN had $206 million of portfolio loans classified as TDRs for both periods. Additionally, $33 million and $35 million of loans held for sale as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were classified as TDRs.

The following table presents the end of period balance for loans modified in a TDR during the periods indicated:

PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents			NOTE 4—ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Note 4—Allowance for Credit Losses

Management's estimate of expected credit losses in the loan and lease portfolios is recorded in the ALLL and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, collectively the ACL. The ALLL and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in the allowance for loan and lease losses and in other liabilities, respectively. Provision for credit losses related to the loans and leases portfolio and the unfunded lending commitments are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income as provision for credit losses.

The ACL is maintained at a level management believes to be appropriate to absorb expected lifetime credit losses over the contractual life of the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded lending commitments. The determination of the ACL is based on periodic evaluation of the loan and lease portfolios and unfunded lending commitments considering a number of relevant underlying factors, including key assumptions and evaluation of quantitative and qualitative information.

The expected loan losses are the product of multiplying FHN’s estimates of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), and individual loan level exposure as default (EAD), including amortization and prepayment assumptions, on an undiscounted basis. FHN uses models or assumptions to develop the expected loss forecasts, which incorporate multiple macroeconomic forecasts over a four year reasonable and supportable forecast period. After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company immediately reverts to its historical loss averages, evaluated over the historical observation period, for the remaining estimated life of the loans. In order to capture the unique risks of the loan portfolio within the PD, LGD, and prepayment models, FHN segments the portfolio into pools, generally incorporating loan grades for commercial loans. As there can be no certainty that actual economic performance will precisely follow any specific macroeconomic forecast, FHN uses qualitative adjustments to adjust historical loss information in situations where current loan characteristics differ from those in the historical loss information and for differences in economic conditions and other factors.

The evaluation of quantitative and qualitative information is performed through assessments of groups of assets that share similar risk characteristics and certain individual loans and leases that do not share similar risk characteristics with the collective group. As described in Note 3 - Loans and Leases, loans are grouped generally by product type and significant loan portfolios are assessed for credit losses using analytical or statistical models. The quantitative evaluation of the adequacy of the ACL utilizes a weighting approach for multiple economic forecast scenarios as its foundation, and is primarily based on analytical models that use known or estimated data as of

the balance sheet date and forecasted data over the reasonable and supportable period. The ACL may also be affected by a variety of qualitative factors that FHN considers to reflect current judgment of various events and risks that are not measured in the quantitative calculations.

In accordance with its accounting policy elections, FHN does not recognize a separate allowance for expected credit losses for AIR and records reversals of AIR as reductions of interest income. FHN reverses previously accrued but uncollected interest when an asset is placed on nonaccrual status. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FHN recognized less than $1 million in allowance for expected credit losses on COVID-19 deferrals that do not qualify for the election which is not reflected in the table below. AIR and the related allowance for expected credit losses is included as a component of other assets. The total amount of interest reversals from loans placed on nonaccrual status and the amount of income recognized on nonaccrual loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were not material.

Expected credit losses for unfunded commitments are estimated for periods where the commitment is not unconditionally cancellable. The measurement of expected credit losses for unfunded commitments mirrors that of loans and leases with the additional estimate of future draw rates (timing and amount).

The decrease in the ACL as of March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 reflects the continued decrease in the unfavorable impact of COVID-19 on the macroeconomic forecast.

In developing credit loss estimates for its loan and lease portfolios, FHN utilized multiple Moody’s forecast scenarios for its macroeconomic inputs. FHN's scenario selection process gave consideration to key economic drivers such as the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, supply chain distribution, the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and labor markets. FHN selected one scenario as its base case, which was a below-trend long term growth scenario. The heaviest weight was placed on the base case forecast, which assumed positive real GDP growth over the forecast horizon.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, FHN considered the effects of inflation, supply chain disruptions, a tight labor market, and the Russia/Ukraine conflict. During the year ended December 31, 2021, FHN considered stressed loan portfolios or industries that are most exposed to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and added qualitative adjustments, where needed, to account for the risks not captured in modeled results. Management also made qualitative adjustments to reflect estimated recoveries based on a review of prior charge off

Note 5—Mortgage Banking Activity

FHN originates mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market. These loans primarily consist of residential first lien mortgages that conform to standards established by GSEs that are major investors in U.S. home mortgages, but can also consist of junior lien and jumbo loans secured by residential property. These loans are primarily sold to private companies that are unaffiliated with the GSEs on a servicing-released basis. Gains and losses on these mortgage loans are included in mortgage banking and title income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Prior to the IBKC merger, FHN’s mortgage banking operations were not significant. At March 31, 2022, FHN

had approximately $43 million of loans that remained from pre-2009 mortgage business operations of legacy First Horizon. Activity related to the pre-2009 mortgage loans was primarily limited to payments and write-offs in 2022 and 2021, with no new originations or loan sales, and only an insignificant amount of repurchases. These loans are excluded from the disclosure below.

The following table summarizes activity relating to residential mortgage loans held for sale as of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

FHN performed the required annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2021. The annual impairment test did not indicate impairment in any of FHN’s reporting units as of the testing date. Following the testing date, management evaluated the events and circumstances that could indicate that goodwill might be impaired and concluded that a subsequent interim test was not necessary.

Accounting estimates and assumptions were made about FHN's future performance and cash flows, as well as other prevailing market factors (e.g., interest rates, economic trends, etc.) when determining fair value as part of the

goodwill impairment test. While management used 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.

Note 10—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 currently 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 businesses. Certain matters of that sort are pending at most times, and FHN generally cooperates when those matters arise. Pending and threatened litigation matters sometimes are settled by the parties, and sometimes pending matters are resolved in court or before an arbitrator, or are withdrawn. 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 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, except for matters that are reported as having been substantially settled or otherwise substantially resolved, FHN's “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; (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 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. FHN provides contingencies note disclosures for certain pending or threatened litigation matters each quarter, including all matters mentioned in categories (i) or (ii) and, occasionally, certain matters mentioned in category (iii). In addition, in this Note, certain other matters, or groups of matters, are discussed relating to FHN’s pre-2009 mortgage origination and servicing businesses. In all litigation matters discussed in this Note, 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 March 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of liabilities established for all such loss contingency matters was $2 million. These liabilities are separate from those discussed under the heading Mortgage Loan 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 March 31, 2022, 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 less than $1 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.

Material Matters

At March 31, 2022, no pending or known threatened matters were material loss contingency matters, as described above.

Exposures from pre-2009 Mortgage Business

FHN is contending with indemnification claims related to "other whole loans sold," which were mortgage loans originated by FHN before 2009 and sold outside of a


			33			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents			NOTE 10—CONTINGENCIES & OTHER DISCLOSURES

securitization organized by FHN. These claims generally assert that FHN-originated loans contributed to losses in connection with mortgage loans securitized by the buyer of the loans. The claims generally do not include specific deficiencies for specific loans sold by FHN. Instead, the claims generally assert that FHN is liable for a share of the claimant's loss estimated by assessing the totality of the other whole loans sold by FHN to claimant in relation to the totality of the larger number of loans securitized by claimant. FHN is unable to estimate an RPL range for these matters due to significant uncertainties regarding: the number of, and the facts underlying, the loan originations which claimants assert are indemnifiable; the applicability of FHN’s contractual indemnity covenants to those facts and originations; and, in those cases where an indemnity claim may be supported, whether any legal defenses, counterclaims, other counter-positions, or third-party claims might eliminate or reduce claims against FHN or their impact on FHN.

FHN also has indemnification claims related to servicing obligations. The most significant is from Nationstar Mortgage LLC, currently doing business as “Mr. Cooper.” Nationstar was the purchaser of FHN’s mortgage servicing obligations and assets in 2013 and 2014 and, was FHN’s subservicer. Nationstar asserts several categories of indemnity obligations in connection with mortgage loans under the subservicing arrangement and under the purchase transaction. This matter currently is not in litigation, but litigation in the future is possible. FHN is unable to estimate an RPL range for this matter due to significant uncertainties regarding: the exact nature of each of Nationstar’s claims and its position in respect of each; the number of, and the facts underlying, the claimed instances of indemnifiable events; the applicability of FHN’s contractual indemnity covenants to those facts and events; and, in those cases where the facts and events might support an indemnity claim, whether any legal defenses, counterclaims, other counter-positions, or third-party claims might eliminate or reduce claims against FHN or their impact on FHN.

FHN has additional potential exposures related to its pre-2009 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 settlements, and some might eventually result in adverse litigation outcomes, but none are included in the material loss contingency liabilities mentioned above or in the RPL range mentioned above.

Mortgage Loan Repurchase and Foreclosure Liability

FHN’s repurchase and foreclosure liability, primarily related to its pre-2009 mortgage businesses, is comprised of accruals to cover estimated loss content in the active pipeline (consisting of mortgage loan repurchase, make-whole, foreclosure/servicing demands and certain related exposures), estimated future inflows, and 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, foreclosure, and certain related exposures and has accrued for losses of $17 million as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Accrued liabilities for FHN’s estimate of these obligations are reflected in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Charges/expense reversals to increase/decrease the liability are included within other income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimates are based upon currently available information and fact patterns that exist as of each 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.

Other Disclosures

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 by such agreements.

Table of Contents			NOTE 11—RETIREMENT PLANS

Note 11—Retirement Plans

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 total 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 made a contribution of $6 million to the qualified pension plan in 2021. Management does not currently anticipate that FHN will make a contribution to the qualified pension plan in 2022.

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 million for 2021. FHN anticipates making benefit payments under the non-qualified plans of $5 million in 2022.

Service cost is included in personnel expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. All other components of net periodic benefit cost are included in other expense.

For more information on FHN's pension plan and other postretirement benefit plans, see Note 18 - Retirement Plans and Other Employee Benefits in FHN's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

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.

PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents			NOTE 13—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Note 13—Variable Interest Entities

FHN makes equity investments in various entities that are considered VIEs, as defined by GAAP. A VIE typically does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company’s variable interest arises from contractual, ownership or other monetary interests in the entity, which change with fluctuations in the fair value of the entity's net assets. FHN consolidates a VIE if FHN is the primary beneficiary of the entity. FHN is the primary beneficiary of a VIE if FHN's variable interest provides it with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE and the right to receive benefits (or the obligation to absorb losses) that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To determine whether or not a variable interest held could potentially be significant to the VIE, FHN considers both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of its involvement with the VIE. FHN assesses whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

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.

The following table summarizes the carrying value of assets and liabilities associated with rabbi trusts used for deferred compensation plans which are consolidated by FHN as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Nonconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

Low Income Housing Tax Credit Partnerships

Through designated wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Horizon Bank makes equity investments as a limited partner in various partnerships that sponsor affordable housing projects utilizing the LIHTC. The purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital and to support FHN’s community reinvestment initiatives. LIHTC partnerships are managed by unrelated general partners that have the power to direct the activities which most significantly affect the performance of the partnerships. FHN is therefore not the primary beneficiary of any LIHTC partnerships. Accordingly, FHN does not

consolidate these VIEs and accounts for these investments in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 as a component of income tax expense. LIHTC investments that do not qualify for the proportional amortization method are accounted for using the equity method. Expenses associated with non-qualifying LIHTC investments were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Other Tax Credit Investments

Through designated subsidiaries, First Horizon Bank periodically makes equity investments as a non-managing member in various LLCs that sponsor community development projects utilizing the NMTC. First Horizon Bank also makes equity investments as a limited partner or non-managing member in entities that receive solar and historic tax credits. The purposes of these investments are to achieve a satisfactory return on capital and to support FHN’s community reinvestment initiatives. These entities are considered VIEs as First Horizon Bank's subsidiaries represent the holders of the equity investment at risk, but do not have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the performance of the entities.

Small Issuer Trust Preferred Holdings

First Horizon Bank holds variable interests in trusts which have issued mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities (“trust preferreds”) for smaller banking and insurance enterprises. First Horizon Bank 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 First Horizon Bank. Since First Horizon Bank 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. First Horizon Bank has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the trusts.

On-Balance Sheet Trust Preferred Securitization

In 2007, First Horizon Bank 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. Since First Horizon Bank did not retain servicing or other decision-making rights, First Horizon Bank 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, First Horizon Bank has accounted for the funds received through the securitization as a term borrowing in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. First Horizon Bank has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the trust.

Holdings 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, First Horizon Bank 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 First Horizon Bank 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, First Horizon Bank is exposed to potentially significant benefits and losses of the borrowing entity. First Horizon Bank has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to

PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents			NOTE 13—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

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.

Proprietary Trust Preferred Issuances

In conjunction with its acquisitions, FHN acquired junior subordinated debt underlying multiple issuances of trust preferred debt. All of the trusts are considered VIEs because the ownership interests from the capital contributions to these trusts are not considered “at risk”

in evaluating whether the holders of the equity investments at risk in the trusts have the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. Thus, FHN cannot be the trusts’ primary beneficiary because its ownership interests in the trusts are not considered variable interests as they are not considered “at risk”. Consequently, none of the trusts are consolidated by FHN. The following tables summarize FHN’s nonconsolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Note 14—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 clients’ 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 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. Daily margin posted or received with central clearinghouses is considered a legal settlement of the related derivative contracts which results in a net presentation for each contract in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Treatment of daily margin as a settlement has no effect on hedge accounting or gains/losses for the applicable derivative contracts. On March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, FHN had $247 million and $181 million of cash receivables and $71 million and $102 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 to facilitate client transactions and as a risk management tool. Where contracts have been created for clients, 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

FHNF trades U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, government-guaranteed loan, mortgage-backed, corporate and municipal fixed income securities, and other securities for distribution to clients. When these securities settle on a delayed basis, they are considered forward contracts. FHNF also enters into interest rate contracts, including caps, swaps, and floors, for its clients. In addition, FHNF enters into futures and option contracts to economically hedge interest rate risk associated with a portion of its securities inventory. These transactions are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in noninterest income. Related assets and liabilities are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as derivative assets and derivative liabilities within other assets and other liabilities. The FHNF 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 $61 million and $115 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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 clients 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.

Cash Flow Hedges

Prior to 2021, FHN had pay floating, receive fixed interest rate swaps designed to manage its exposure to the variability in cash flows related to interest payments on debt instruments. In conjunction with the IBKC merger, FHN acquired interest rate contracts (floors and collars) which have been re-designated as cash flow hedges. The debt instruments primarily consist of held-to-maturity commercial loans that have variable interest payments based on 1-month LIBOR.

In 2022, FHN entered into interest rate contracts (floors) which have been designated as cash flow hedges. These hedges reference 1-month Term SOFR and FHN has made

certain elections under ASU 2020-04 to facilitate qualification for hedge accounting during the time that hedged items transition away from 1-Month LIBOR.

In a cash flow hedge, the entire change in the fair value of the interest rate swap included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is initially recorded in OCI and is subsequently reclassified from OCI to current period earnings (interest income or interest expense) in the same period that the hedged item affects earnings.

The following tables summarize FHN’s derivative activities associated with cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Other Derivatives

FHN has mortgage banking operations that include the origination and sale of loans into the secondary market. As part of the origination of loans, FHN enters into interest rate lock commitments with borrowers. Additionally, FHN

enters into forward sales contracts with buyers for delivery of loans at a future date. Both of these contracts qualify as freestanding derivatives and are recognized at fair value through earnings. The notional and fair values of these contracts are presented in the table below.

In conjunction with pre-2020 sales of Visa Class B shares, FHN 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the derivative liabilities associated with the sales of Visa Class B shares were $18 million and $23 million, respectively. FHN recognized $19 million in derivative valuation adjustments related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares for the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note 16 - Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities for discussion of the valuation inputs and processes for these Visa-related derivatives.

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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, these loans were valued at $14 million and $7 million, respectively. The balance sheet amount and the gains/losses associated with these derivatives were not significant.

Related to its loan participation/syndication activities, FHN enters into risk participation agreements, under which it assumes exposure for, or receives indemnification for, borrowers’ performance on underlying interest rate derivative contracts. FHN's counterparties in these contracts are other lending institutions involved in the loan participation/syndication arrangements for which the underlying interest rate derivative contract is intended to hedge interest rate risk for the borrower. FHN will make (other institution is the lead bank) or receive (FHN is the lead bank) payments for risk participations if the borrower defaults on its obligation to perform under the terms of its interest rate derivative agreement with the lead bank in the participation.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional values of FHN’s risk participations were $215 million and $257 million of derivative assets and $692 million and $500 million of derivative liabilities, respectively. The notional value for risk participation/syndication agreements is consistent with the percentage of participation in the lending arrangement. FHN's

maximum exposure or benefit in the risk participation agreements is contingent on the fair value of the underlying interest rate derivative contracts for which the borrower is in a liability position at the time of default. FHN monitors the credit risk associated with the borrowers to which the risk participations relate through the same credit risk assessment process utilized for establishing credit loss estimates for its loan portfolio. These credit risk estimates are included in the determination of fair value for the risk participations. Assuming all underlying third party customers referenced in the swap contracts defaulted at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the exposure from these agreements would not be material based on the fair value of the underlying swaps.

FHN holds certain certificates of deposit with the rate of return based on an equity index which is considered an embedded derivative as a written option that must be separately recognized. The risks of the written option are offset by purchasing an option with terms that mirror the written option, which is also carried at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FHN had recognized $1 million of both assets and liabilities associated with these contracts.

Master Netting and Similar Agreements

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.


			46			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents			NOTE 14—DERIVATIVES

Interest rate derivatives are subject to agreements consistent with standard agreement forms of the 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 initial margin is posted.

Cash margin received (posted) that is considered settlements for the derivative contracts is included in the respective derivative asset (liability) value. Cash margin that is considered collateral received (posted) for interest rate derivatives is recognized as a liability (asset) on FHN’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Interest rate derivatives with clients 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 Balance Sheets. 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 First Horizon Bank is lowered, FHN could be required to post additional collateral with the counterparties. Conversely, if the credit rating of FHN and/or First Horizon Bank 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 First Horizon Bank 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 $10 million of assets and $130 million of liabilities on March 31, 2022, and $67 million of assets and $26 million of liabilities on December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FHN had received collateral of $173 million and $205 million and posted collateral of $30 million and $14 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 First Horizon Bank’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 interest rate derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent accelerated termination provisions was $93 million of assets and $130 million of liabilities on March 31, 2022, and $74 million of assets and $30 million of liabilities on December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FHN had received collateral of $233 million and $213 million and posted collateral of $29 million and $18 million, respectively, in the normal course of business related to these contracts.

FHNF buys and sells various types of securities for its clients. 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 15—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 and/or government guaranteed loans 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 Balance Sheets. 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.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell is included in federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase is included in short-term borrowings.

The following table provides details of securities purchased under agreements to resell and collateral pledged by counterparties as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Note 16—Fair Value of Assets and 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.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(d)Included in other expense.

There were no net unrealized gains (losses) for Level 3 assets and liabilities included in other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2022 and 2021.

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 lower of cost or market (LOCOM) accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets

measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis which were still held on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the related carrying value.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, FHN recognized less than $1 million of fixed asset impairments and leased asset impairments primarily related to continuing merger and acquisition integration efforts associated with reduction of leased office space and banking center optimization. These amounts were primarily recognized in the Corporate segment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, FHN recognized $33 million of fixed asset impairments and $3 million of leased asset impairments primarily related to continuing merger and acquisition integration efforts associated with reduction of leased office space and banking center optimization. These amounts were primarily recognized in the Corporate segment.

Lease asset impairments recognized represent the reduction in value of the right-of-use assets associated with leases that are being exited in advance of the contractual lease expiration.

Impairments are measured using a discounted cash flow methodology, which is considered a Level 3 valuation.

Impairments of long-lived tangible assets reflect locations where the associated land and building are either owned or leased. The fair values of owned sites were determined using estimated sales prices from appraisals and broker opinions less estimated costs to sell with adjustments upon final disposition. The fair values of owned assets in leased sites (e.g., leasehold improvements) were determined using a discounted cash flow approach, based

Trading Securities - SBA interest-only strips

Increases (decreases) in estimated prepayment rates and bond equivalent yields negatively (positively) affect the value of SBA interest-only strips. Management additionally considers whether the loans underlying related SBA interest-only strips are delinquent, in default or prepaying, and adjusts the fair value down 20 - 100% depending on the length of time in default. SBA interest-only strips were transferred from AFS to trading securities on October 1, 2021.

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. All


			57			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents			NOTE 16—FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS & LIABILITIES

observable and unobservable inputs are re-assessed quarterly.

Increases (decreases) in estimated prepayment rates and bond equivalent yields negatively (positively) affect the value of unguaranteed interests in SBA loans. Unguaranteed interest in SBA loans held for sale are carried at less than the outstanding balance due to credit risk estimates. Credit risk adjustments may be reduced if prepayment is likely or as consistent payment history is realized. Management also considers other factors such as delinquency or default and adjusts the fair value accordingly.

Loans held for investment

Constant prepayment rate, constant default rate and loss severity trends are significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of loans held for investment. Increases (decreases) in each of these inputs in isolation result in negative (positive) effects on the valuation of the associated loans.

Derivative liabilities

In conjunction with pre-2020 sales of Visa Class B shares, 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. 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.

Loans and leases and Other Real Estate Owned

Collateral-dependent loans and OREO are primarily valued using appraisals based on sales of comparable properties in the same or similar markets. 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 typically includes consideration of the underlying property’s appraised value.

Fair Value Option

FHN has elected the fair value option on a prospective basis for substantially all types of mortgage loans originated for sale purposes except for mortgage origination operations which utilize the platform acquired from CBF. 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 relating to mortgage banking operations conducted prior to the IBKC merger 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.

FHN also had a portion of mortgage loans held for investment for which the fair value option was elected upon origination and which were accounted for at fair value. This portion of mortgage loans held for investment at fair value option was transferred to the loans held for sale portfolio on April 1, 2021.

Assets and liabilities accounted for under the fair value election are initially measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Such changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities for which FHN elected the fair value option are included in current period earnings with classification in the income statement line item reflected in the following table:

(Dollars in millions)	2022		2021
Changes in fair value included in net income:

Loans held for sale	$	(8)	$	(9)

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the amount for residential real estate loans held for sale included an insignificant amount of gains 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

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 Balance Sheets and for estimating the fair value of financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed.

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, benchmark yields, 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 - SBA interest-only strips

Interest-only strips are valued at elected fair value based on an income approach using an internal valuation model. The internal valuation model includes assumptions regarding projections of future cash flows, prepayment rates, default rates and interest-only strip terms. These securities bear the risk of loan prepayment or default that may result in FHN not recovering all or a portion of its recorded investment. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors including default or prepayment status of the underlying SBA loans. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and may change in the near term. SBA interest-only strips were transferred from AFS to trading on October 1, 2021.

Securities available for sale and held to maturity

Valuations of debt securities are performed using observable inputs obtained from market transactions in similar securities. Typical inputs include benchmark yields, consensus prepayment speeds, and credit spreads. Trades from similar securities and broker quotes are used to support these valuations.

Loans held for sale

FHN determines the fair value of loans held for sale using either current transaction prices or discounted cash flow models. Fair values are determined 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.

Fair value of residential real estate loans held for sale determined using a discounted cash flow model incorporates both observable and unobservable inputs. Inputs in the discounted cash flow model 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 estimated cancellation rates for loans expected to become delinquent.

Non-mortgage consumer loans held for sale are valued using committed bids for specific loans or loan portfolios or current market pricing for similar assets with adjustments for differences in credit standing (delinquency, historical default rates for similar loans), yield, collateral values and prepayment rates. If pricing for similar assets is not available, a discounted cash flow methodology is utilized, which incorporates all of these factors into an estimate of investor required yield for the discount rate.

FHN utilizes quoted market prices of similar instruments or broker and dealer quotations to value the SBA and USDA guaranteed loans. FHN values SBA-unguaranteed interests in loans held for sale based on individual loan characteristics, such as industry type and pay history which generally follows an income approach. Furthermore, these valuations are adjusted for changes in prepayment estimates and are reduced due to restrictions on trading. The fair value of other non-residential real estate loans held for sale is approximated by their carrying values based on current transaction values.

Mortgage loans held for investment at fair value option

The fair value of mortgage loans held for investment at fair value option is determined by a third party using a discounted cash flow model using various assumptions about future loan performance (constant prepayment rate, constant default rate and loss severity trends) and market discount rates.

Loans held for investment

The fair values of mortgage loans are estimated using an exit price methodology that is based on present values using the interest rate that would be charged for a similar loan to a borrower with similar risk, weighted for varying maturity dates and adjusted for a liquidity discount based on the estimated time period to complete a sale transaction with a market participant.

Other loans and leases are valued based on present values using the interest rate that would be charged for a similar instrument to a borrower with similar risk, applicable to each category of instruments, and adjusted for a liquidity discount based on the estimated time period to complete a sale transaction with a market participant.

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.

PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents			NOTE 16—FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS & LIABILITIES

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 contracts) are based on inputs observed in active markets for similar instruments. Typical inputs include benchmark yields, option volatility and option skew. Starting in October 2020, centrally cleared derivatives are discounted using SOFR as required by clearinghouses. 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. For derivative contracts with daily cash margin requirements that are considered settlements, the daily margin amount is netted within derivative assets or liabilities. Any remaining credit risk related to interest rate derivatives is considered in determining fair value through evaluation of additional factors such as client 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.

The fair value of risk participations is determined in reference to the fair value of the related derivative contract between the borrower and the lead bank in the participation structure, which is determined consistent with the valuation process discussed above. This value is adjusted for the pro rata portion of the reference derivative’s notional value and an assessment of credit risk for the referenced borrower.

OREO

OREO 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.

Other assets

For disclosure purposes, other assets consist of tax credit investments, FRB and FHLB Stock, deferred compensation mutual funds and equity investments (including other mutual funds) with readily determinable fair values. 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 mutual funds are recognized at fair value, which is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Investments in the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Banks are recognized at historical cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets which is considered to approximate fair value. 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.

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 time deposits.

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.

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 and leases, loans held for sale, and term borrowings as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 and TRUPS loans within the Corporate segment, 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 clients, 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 Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Introduction

First Horizon Corporation (NYSE common stock trading symbol “FHN”) is a financial holding company headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. FHN’s principal subsidiary, and only banking subsidiary, is First Horizon Bank. Through the Bank and other subsidiaries, FHN offers regional banking, mortgage lending, title insurance, specialized commercial lending, commercial leasing and equipment financing, brokerage, wealth management, capital markets, and other financial services to commercial, consumer, and governmental clients throughout the U.S. At March 31, 2022, FHN had over 500

business locations in 22 states, including over 400 banking centers in 12 states, and employed more than 7,500 associates.

This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, as well as other information contained in this document and FHN's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

Executive Overview

Merger Agreement with Toronto-Dominion Bank

On February 27, 2022, FHN entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “TD Merger Agreement”) with The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Canadian chartered bank (“TD”), TD Bank US Holding Company, a Delaware corporation and indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of TD (“TD-US”), and Falcon Holdings Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of TD-US (“Merger Sub”).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the TD Merger Agreement, each share of FHN common stock, par value $0.625 per share, (“Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Holding Company Merger (the “First Effective Time”) will be converted into the right to receive $25.00 (USD) per share in cash, without interest. If the transaction does not close on or before November 27, 2022, shareholders will receive an additional $0.65 per share of Company Common Stock on an annualized basis (or approximately 5.4 cents per month) for the period from November 27, 2022 through the day immediately prior to the closing. Each outstanding share of FHN’s preferred stock, series B, C, D, E and F, will remain issued outstanding in connection with the First Holding Company Merger. If TD elects to effect the Second Holding Company Merger, at the effective time of the Second Holding Company Merger, each outstanding share of FHN’s preferred stock will be converted into a share of a newly created, corresponding series of TD-US having terms as described in the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the TD Merger Agreement, TD purchased from FHN shares of non-voting Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, Series G, a new series of preferred stock of FHN (the “Series G Convertible Preferred Stock”) in a private placement transaction having an aggregate liquidation preference and purchase price of approximately $494 million, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement between FHN and TD entered into concurrently with the execution and delivery of the TD Merger Agreement. The Series G Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into up to 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock in certain circumstances, including the closing of the Proposed TD Merger.

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (MD&A)
Table of Contents

Financial Performance Summary

FHN reported first quarter 2022 net income available to common shareholders of $187 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $219 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in fourth quarter 2021 and $225 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in first quarter 2021.

Net interest income of $479 million declined $19 million from fourth quarter 2021 driven by a $23 million reduction tied to net merger-related and PPP loan portfolio benefits and day count, partially offset by higher investment portfolio income, non-PPP C&I loan growth, and lower funding costs. Compared to first quarter 2021, net interest income decreased $29 million, driven by lower average loan and lease balances and the effect of lower interest rates and spreads.

Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $40 million in first quarter 2022 compared to a benefit of $65 million in fourth quarter 2021 largely reflecting the decreased impact of COVID-19, tempered by inflationary pressures and a slower economic growth forecast. The provision benefit decreased modestly from a benefit of $45 million in first quarter 2021.

Noninterest income of $229 million decreased $18 million compared to fourth quarter 2021 and $69 million compared to first quarter 2021 largely driven by declines in fixed income and mortgage banking and title fees.

Noninterest expense of $493 million decreased $35 million from fourth quarter 2021, largely reflecting decreases in other expense and personnel expense. Compared with first quarter 2021, noninterest expense decreased $51 million largely from a $33 million decline in merger and acquisition-related expenses. Merger and acquisition-related expenses were $37 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $38 million in fourth quarter 2021 and $70 million in first quarter 2021.

Period-end loans and leases of $55.0 billion increased $153 million from December 31, 2021 largely driven by commercial loan growth which was partially offset by a $396 million decrease in PPP loans. Average loans and leases of $54.1 billion in first quarter 2022 decreased $4.1 billion from $58.2 billion in first quarter 2021 driven by a decline in PPP and consumer loans.

Period-end deposits of $74.1 billion decreased $781 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2021 from a $949 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits offset by a $168 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. Average deposits increased $3.2 billion from first quarter 2021, largely reflecting growth in noninterest-bearing deposits as a result of elevated liquidity associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2022 were 11.84% and 13.18%, an improvement from 11.04% and 12.34% at December 31, 2021, respectively. The CET1 ratio was 9.97% at March 31, 2022 compared to 9.92% at December 31, 2021.

The following portions of this MD&A focus in more detail on the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the three months ended December 31, 2021, and the three months ended March 31, 2021 and on information about FHN's financial condition, loan and lease portfolio, liquidity, funding sources, capital and other matters.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is FHN's largest source of revenue and is the difference between the interest earned on interest-earning assets (generally loans, leases and investment securities) and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities (generally deposits and borrowed funds). The level of net interest income is primarily a function of the difference between the effective yield on average interest-earning assets and the effective cost of interest-bearing liabilities. These factors are influenced by the pricing and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by external factors such as local economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the FRB and market interest rates.

The following tables present the major components of net interest income and net interest margin:

First Quarter 2022 versus Fourth Quarter 2021

Net interest income of $479 million in first quarter 2022 decreased $19 million from fourth quarter 2021 driven by a $23 million reduction tied to net merger-related and PPP

loan portfolio benefits and day count, partially offset by higher investment portfolio income, non-PPP C&I loan growth, and lower funding costs.


			70			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (MD&A)
Table of Contents

The net interest margin of 2.37% in first quarter 2022 decreased 5 basis points from fourth quarter 2021 primarily due to lower PPP loan-related revenues, partially offset by higher investment portfolio yields, greater acquired loan accretion, and lower funding costs.

Average earning assets of $82.2 billion in first quarter 2022 decreased $314 million from fourth quarter 2021 largely due to a $600 million decrease in loans and leases, driven by a $1.0 billion decrease in loans to mortgage companies and a $630 million decrease in average PPP loans, and a $163 million decrease in interest-bearing cash. These decreases were partially offset by a $399 million increase in average investment securities.

First Quarter 2022 versus First Quarter 2021

Net interest income of $479 million decreased $29 million from first quarter 2021 driven by lower average loan and lease balances and the effect of tighter loan spreads.

First quarter 2022 net interest margin decreased 25 basis points from 2.62% in first quarter 2021, driven by the impact of lower interest earning asset yields from a decline in loan origination spreads and greater levels of excess cash.

Despite the decrease in average loans and leases, total average earning assets increased $3.5 billion in first quarter 2022 from $78.7 billion in the first quarter 2021 from higher levels of interest-bearing cash and investment securities.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses includes the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded lending commitments. The provision for credit losses is the expense necessary to maintain the ALLL and the accrual for unfunded lending commitments at levels appropriate to absorb management’s estimate of credit losses expected over the life of the loan and lease portfolio and the portfolio of unfunded loan commitments.

For the first quarter 2022, provision for credit losses was a benefit of $40 million compared to a benefit of $65 million in fourth quarter 2021, largely reflecting the decreased impact of COVID-19, tempered by inflationary pressures and a slower economic growth forecast. The first quarter 2022 benefit decreased modestly from first quarter 2021.

First Quarter 2022 versus Fourth Quarter 2021

Compared to fourth quarter 2021, noninterest income decreased $18 million, or 7%, largely reflecting lower fixed income and mortgage banking and title fees offset by an

increase in securities gains. Noninterest income results were also impacted by lower gains on sales of premises and equipment and SBA servicing income.


			71			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (MD&A)
Table of Contents

Fixed income of $73 million decreased $9 million, driven by the impact of higher long-term rates and macroeconomic uncertainty. Fixed income average daily revenue of $1.0 million compared with $1.1 million in fourth quarter 2021.

Mortgage banking and title income of $22 million decreased $6 million driven by lower origination volume given the impact of higher long-term rates, seasonality, and a continued mix shift toward portfolio loans.

First Quarter 2022 versus First Quarter 2021

Noninterest income of $229 million for first quarter 2022 decreased $69 million, or 23%, compared to first quarter

2021, primarily reflecting lower fixed income and mortgage banking and title fees.

Fixed income fees of $73 million decreased $53 million from first quarter 2021. Fixed income product revenue decreased $54 million, reflecting less favorable market conditions, while revenue from other products increased $1 million, largely driven by higher fees from derivative sales.

Mortgage banking and title income of $22 million decreased $31 million driven by a shift in origination mix toward portfolio loans as well as lower spreads on sales of mortgage loans.

Noninterest Expense

The following tables present the significant components of noninterest expense for each of the periods presented:

First Quarter 2022 versus Fourth Quarter 2021

Noninterest expense of $493 million decreased $35 million, or 7%, largely reflecting decreases in other expense and personnel expense. The decline in other expense was primarily related to $10 million in derivative valuation adjustments on prior Visa Class B share sales in the fourth quarter of 2021 and lower fraud and contract termination losses. The decline in personnel expense was largely attributable to $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 from litigation tied to a company that was fully divested over ten years ago.

First Quarter 2022 versus First Quarter 2021

Noninterest expense of $493 million decreased $51 million, or 9%, from first quarter 2021 largely reflecting a $33 million decline in merger and acquisition expense. Results also reflect a decrease in personnel expense from lower deferred compensation and incentive-based compensation costs.

Income Taxes

FHN recorded income tax expense of $57 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $53 million in fourth quarter 2021 and $71 million in first quarter 2021.

The effective tax rate was approximately 22.4%, 18.6%, and 23.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

FHN’s effective tax rate is favorably affected by recurring items such as bank-owned life insurance, tax-exempt income, and tax credits and other tax benefits from tax credit investments. The effective rate is unfavorably affected by the non-deductibility of portions of: FDIC premium, executive compensation and merger expenses. FHN’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 unrecognized tax benefits. The rate also may be affected by items resulting from business combinations.

A deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability 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 current enacted statutory tax rates to these temporary differences in future years. As of March 31, 2022, FHN’s gross DTA and gross DTL were $554 million and $403 million, respectively, resulting in a net DTA of $151 million at March 31, 2022, compared with a net DTA of $52 million at December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, FHN had deferred tax asset balances related to federal and state income tax carryforwards of $34 million and $2 million, respectively, which will expire at various dates.

Based on current analysis, FHN believes that its ability to realize the 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 a valuation allowance.

Business Segment Results

FHN's reportable segments include Regional Banking, Specialty Banking and Corporate. See Note 12 - Business Segment Information for additional disclosures related to FHN's segments.

Regional Banking

The Regional Banking segment generated pre-tax income of $259 million for first quarter 2022, a decrease of $56 million compared to fourth quarter 2021, largely driven by a $30 million decline in provision for credit losses benefit and a $21 million decline in net interest income. The lower provision benefit largely reflects the decreased impact of COVID-19, tempered by inflationary pressures and a slower economic growth forecast. The decline in net interest income is reflective of a reduction in net merger-related and PPP benefits and day count.

Pre-tax income for first quarter 2022 decreased $30 million compared to $289 million for first quarter 2021 largely driven by a $40 million increase in noninterest expense. Noninterest expense results reflect increases in personnel expense and other losses.

Specialty Banking

Pre-tax income in the Specialty Banking segment of $113 million for first quarter 2022 decreased $31 million compared to fourth quarter 2021, largely driven by lower revenue. Net interest income of $141 million decreased $11 million from fourth quarter 2021. Fixed income of $73 million decreased $9 million, driven by the impact of higher long-term rates and macroeconomic uncertainty. Mortgage banking and title income of $22 million

decreased $6 million driven by lower origination volume given the impact of higher long-term rates, seasonality, and a continued mix shift toward portfolio loans.

Pre-tax income of $113 million in the Specialty Banking segment decreased $82 million for first quarter 2022 compared to first quarter 2021 largely driven by lower revenue partially offset by lower noninterest expense. The decline in revenue was primarily attributable to declines in fixed income and mortgage banking and title fees.

Corporate

Pre-tax loss for the Corporate segment was $117 million for first quarter 2022 compared to $177 million for fourth quarter 2021, largely reflecting a $44 million decrease in noninterest expense. Merger and acquisition-related expenses were relatively consistent with the prior quarter.

Pre-tax loss in the Corporate segment decreased $60 million compared to $177 million for first quarter 2021, largely the result of a $73 million decrease in noninterest expense tied to lower merger and acquisition-related expenses of $33 million. Results also reflect lower deferred compensation expense and the impact of derivative valuation adjustments on prior Visa Class-B share sales in first quarter 2021.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Total period-end assets were $88.7 billion as of March 31, 2022 compared to $89.1 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in total assets during 2022 was driven by a $1.3 billion decrease in cash and due from banks from lower customer deposits, offset primarily by a $524 million increase in investment securities and a $153 million increase in loans and leases.

Earning assets consist of loans and leases, loans held for sale, investment securities, and other earning assets, such as trading securities and interest-bearing deposits with banks. A detailed discussion of the major components of earning assets is provided in the following sections.

Loans and Leases

Period-end loans and leases increased $153 million to $55.0 billion as of March 31, 2022 from $54.9 billion on December 31, 2021, driven by a $108 million increase in commercial loans and leases driven by CRE loan growth and a $45 million increase in consumer loans. Total loan growth was tempered by a $397 million decrease in PPP loans. Average loans and leases decreased to $54.1 billion

in first quarter 2022 compared to $54.7 billion in fourth quarter 2021 and $58.2 billion in first quarter 2021 primarily from a decline in PPP loans and credit card and other non-real estate consumer loans.

The following table provides detail regarding FHN's loans and leases as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

C&I loans are the largest component of the loan portfolio, comprising 56% of total loans at the end of the first quarter 2022 and 57% at year-end 2021. C&I loans decreased 1% from December 31, 2021, largely driven by a decrease in PPP loans. Commercial real estate loans increased $378 million in first quarter 2022 driven by growth in both Regional Banking and Specialty Banking loans.

Consumer loans of $11.7 billion increased $45 million from year-end 2021, largely driven by growth in real estate installment loans, primarily within the Regional Banking segment.

Loans Held for Sale

In 2020, FHN obtained IBKC's mortgage banking operations which includes origination and servicing of residential first lien mortgages that conform to standards

established by GSEs that are major investors in U.S. home mortgages but can also consist of junior lien and jumbo loans secured by residential property. These loans are primarily sold to private companies that are unaffiliated with the GSEs on a servicing-released basis. For further detail, see Note 5 - Mortgage Banking Activity.

The legacy FHN loans HFS portfolio consists of small business, other consumer loans, mortgage warehouse, USDA, student, and home equity loans.

Asset Quality

Loan and Lease Portfolio Composition

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 and leases are composed of C&I loans and leases and CRE loans. Consumer loans are composed of consumer real estate loans and credit card and other loans. FHN has a concentration of residential real estate loans (20% of total loans at both March 31, 2022 and

December 31, 2021). Industry concentrations are discussed under the C&I heading below.

Credit underwriting guidelines are outlined in Item 7 of FHN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Asset Quality Section within the Analysis of Financial Condition discussion. FHN’s credit underwriting guidelines and loan product offerings as of March 31, 2022 are generally consistent with those reported and disclosed in FHN’s Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Commercial Loan and Lease Portfolios

C&I

The C&I portfolio totaled $30.8 billion as of March 31, 2022 and $31.1 billion as of December 31, 2021 and is comprised of loans and leases used for general business purposes. Products offered in the C&I portfolio include term loan financing of owner-occupied real estate and fixed assets, PPP loans, direct financing and sales-type leases, working capital lines of credit, and trade credit enhancement through letters of credit.

The decrease in C&I loans from December 31, 2021 was driven by a $396 million decrease in PPP loans. Excluding PPP loans, C&I loan growth was $126 million. The largest geographical concentrations of balances in the C&I

portfolio as of March 31, 2022 were in Tennessee (21%), Florida (12%), Texas (10%), North Carolina (7%), Louisiana (7%), California (7%), and Georgia (5%). No other state represented more than 5% of the portfolio.

The following table provides the composition of the C&I portfolio by industry as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. 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 exist when there are loans to numerous borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. Loans to mortgage companies and borrowers in the finance and insurance industry were 24% and 26% of FHN’s C&I loan portfolio as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and as a result could be affected by items that uniquely impact the financial services industry. As of March 31, 2022, FHN did not have any other concentrations of C&I loans in any single industry of 10% or more of total loans.

Loans to Mortgage Companies

Loans to mortgage companies were 13% of the C&I portfolio as of March 31, 2022 and 15% as of December 31, 2021. This portfolio generally fluctuates with mortgage rates and seasonal factors and 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, new loan originations to mortgage lenders increases when there is a decline in mortgage rates and decreases when rates rise. In periods of economic uncertainty, this trend may not occur even if interest rates are declining. In first quarter 2022, 58% of the loan originations were home purchases and 42% were refinance transactions.

Finance and Insurance

The finance and insurance component represented 11% of the C&I portfolio as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2022, asset-based lending to consumer finance companies represents approximately $1.5 billion of the finance and insurance component.

Paycheck Protection Program

In 2020, Congress created the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in response to the economic disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the PPP,

qualifying businesses may receive loans from private lenders, such as FHN, that are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. These loans potentially are partly or fully forgivable, depending upon the borrower’s use of the funds and maintenance of employment levels. To the extent forgiven, the borrower is relieved from payment while the lender is still paid from the program.

The C&I portfolio as of March 31, 2022 includes 5,184 loans made under the PPP with an aggregate principal balance of $642 million, which are fully government guaranteed with the SBA. Due to the government guarantee and forgiveness provisions, PPP loans are considered to have no credit risk and do not affect the amount of provision and ALLL recorded. As a result, no ALLL is recorded for PPP loans as of March 31, 2022, and FHN has assigned a risk weight of zero to PPP loans for regulatory capital purposes.

For these loans, there are remaining net lender fees of approximately $7 million to be paid to FHN as of March 31, 2022. During 2022, FHN continues to work with its clients that have applied for and received PPP loan forgiveness. Through March 31, 2022, approximately $5 billion of the original $6 billion in PPP loans originated by FHN and IBERIABANK prior to acquisition have been forgiven by the SBA.

Commercial Real Estate

The CRE portfolio totaled $12.5 billion as of March 31, 2022 and $12.1 billion as of December 31, 2021. The CRE portfolio reflects financings for both commercial construction and nonconstruction loans. The largest geographical concentrations of CRE loan balances as of March 31, 2022 were in Florida (26%), North Carolina (11%), Texas (11%), Louisiana (10%), Georgia (10%), and Tennessee (9%). No other state represented more than 5% of the portfolio. This portfolio 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. Subcategories of the CRE portfolio consist of multi-family (26%), office (23%), retail (19%), industrial (12%), hospitality (11%), land/land development (2%), and other (7%).

Consumer Loan Portfolios

Consumer Real Estate

The consumer real estate portfolio totaled $10.9 billion and $10.8 billion as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is primarily composed of home equity lines and installment loans. The largest geographical concentrations of balances as of March 31, 2022 were in Florida (31%), Tennessee (23%), Louisiana (9%), North Carolina (8%), Texas (7%), and New York (5%). No other state represented more than 5% of the portfolio.

As of March 31, 2022, approximately 88% of the consumer real estate portfolio was in a first lien position. At origination, the weighted average FICO score of this portfolio was 755 and the refreshed FICO scores also averaged 755 as of March 31, 2022, no significant change from FICO scores of 755 and 754, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Generally, performance of this portfolio is affected by life events that affect borrowers’ finances, the level of unemployment, and home prices.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FHN had held-for-investment consumer mortgage loans secured by real estate that were in the process of foreclosure totaling $26 million and $20 million, respectively.

HELOCs comprised $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion of the consumer real estate portfolio as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. 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 frozen if a borrower becomes past due on payments. Once the draw period has ended, 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 March 31, 2022, approximately 89% of FHN's HELOCs were in the draw period compared to 88% at December 31, 2021. It is expected that $432 million, or 25%, of HELOCs currently in the draw period will enter the repayment period during the next 60 months, based on current terms. Generally, delinquencies 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, over time, performance of these loans usually begins to stabilize. HELOCs nearing the end of the draw period are closely monitored.

The following table presents HELOCs currently in the draw period, broken down by months remaining in the draw period.

Credit Card and Other

The credit card and other portfolio, which is primarily within the Regional Banking segment, totaled $853 million as of March 31, 2022 and $910 million as of December 31, 2021. This portfolio primarily consists of consumer-related

credits, including home equity and other personal consumer loans, credit card receivables, and automobile loans. The $57 million decrease was driven by net repayments of automobile loans, consumer construction loans, and credit cards.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL is maintained at a level sufficient to provide appropriate reserves to absorb estimated future credit losses in accordance with GAAP. For additional information regarding the ACL, see Note 4 of this Report and "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" and Note 5 in FHN's 2021 Form 10-K, as amended.

The ALLL decreased to $622 million as of March 31, 2022 from $670 million as of December 31, 2021, largely

reflecting a continued decrease in the unfavorable impact of COVID-19 on the macroeconomic forecast. The ALLL to total loans and leases ratio decreased 9 basis points to 1.13%. The ACL to total loans and leases ratio decreased to 1.25% as of March 31, 2022 from 1.34% as of December 31, 2021.

Consolidated Net Charge-offs

Net charge-offs in first quarter 2022 were $10 million, or an annualized 7 basis points of total loans and leases, compared to net charge-offs of $8 million, or 6 basis points of total loans and leases, in first quarter 2021.

Net charge-offs in the commercial portfolio in first quarter 2022 were $10 million and $11 million in first quarter

2021. Net recoveries in the consumer portfolio were minimal in first quarter 2022 compared to $3 million in net recoveries in first quarter 2021. The decrease in net recoveries from the prior year was attributable to higher gross credit card charge-offs and lower gross consumer real estate recoveries.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans are loans placed on nonaccrual if it becomes evident that full collection of principal and interest is at risk, if 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 for which FHN continues to receive payments, including residential real estate loans where the borrower has been discharged of personal obligation through bankruptcy. NPAs consist of nonperforming loans and OREO (excluding OREO from government insured mortgages).

Total NPAs (including NPLs HFS) increased to $343 million as of March 31, 2022 from $285 million as of December 31, 2021, driven by higher nonaccrual loans in the C&I and consumer real estate portfolios. The nonperforming loans and leases ratio increased 10 basis points to 0.60% as of March 31, 2022.

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 the estimated loss has been recognized through a partial charge-off, typically an ALLL is not recorded.

To the extent that loans were past due as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021 and had been granted a deferral, they were excluded from loans past due 30 to 89

days and loans past due 90 days or more in the table and discussion below.

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 90 days or more past due and still accruing were $23 million as of March 31, 2022 compared to $40 million as of December 31, 2021. Loans 30 to 89 days past due were $180 million as of March 31, 2022 compared to $108

million as of December 31, 2021. The increase included a $36 million increase in CRE loans, a $19 million increase in C&I loans, and a $14 million increase in consumer real estate loans past due 30 to 89 days. These increases were partially driven by the expiration of certain deferred payment programs noted above.

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 and includes loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards established by Federal banking regulators for

loans classified as substandard. Potential problem assets in the loan portfolio were $542 million on March 31, 2022 and $597 million on December 31, 2021. 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 and lease losses.

Troubled Debt Restructurings 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

For loan modifications that met the TDR relief provisions outlined in either the CARES Act, as extended by the CAA, or revised Interagency Guidance, FHN has excluded these modifications from consideration as a TDR and has excluded loans with these qualifying modifications from designation as a TDR in the information and discussion that follows. See Note 3 – Loans and Leases for further discussion regarding TDRs and loan modifications.

On both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, FHN had $206 million portfolio loans classified as held-for-investment TDRs. For these TDRs, including specific reserves, FHN had an allowance for loan and lease losses of $14 million, or 7% of TDR balances as of March 31, 2022, and $12 million, or 6% of TDR balances, as of December 31, 2021. Additionally, FHN had $33 million and $35 million of HFS loans classified as TDRs as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The following table provides a summary of TDRs for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Investment Securities

FHN’s investment securities portfolio consists principally of debt securities available for sale. FHN maintains a highly-rated securities portfolio consisting primarily of government agency issued mortgage-backed securities

and collateralized mortgage obligations. The securities portfolio provides a source of income and liquidity and is an important tool used to balance the interest rate risk of the loan and deposit portfolios. The securities portfolio is

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (MD&A)
Table of Contents

periodically evaluated in light of established ALM objectives, changing market conditions that could affect the profitability of the portfolio, the regulatory environment, and the level of interest rate risk to which FHN is exposed. These evaluations may result in steps taken to adjust the overall balance sheet positioning.

Investment securities were $9.9 billion and $9.4 billion on March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, representing approximately 11% of total assets at the end of both periods. See Note 2 - Investment Securities for more information about the securities portfolio.

Deposits

Total deposits of $74.1 billion as of March 31, 2022 decreased $781 million from December 31, 2021 reflecting an improvement in deposit mix during the quarter. Interest-bearing deposits decreased $949 million while noninterest-bearing deposits increased $168 million.

See Table I.2.2 - Average Balances, Net Interest Income and Yields/Rates in this Report for information on average deposits including average rates paid. The following table summarizes the major components of deposits as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, trading liabilities, and other short-term borrowings. Total short-term borrowings were $2.2 billion and $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Short-term borrowings balances fluctuate largely based on the level of FHLB borrowing as a result of loan demand, deposit levels and balance sheet funding strategies. Trading liabilities fluctuate based on various factors,

including levels of trading securities and hedging strategies. Federal funds purchased fluctuates depending on the amount of excess funding of FHN’s correspondent bank customers. Balances of securities sold under agreements to repurchase fluctuate based on cost attractiveness relative to FHLB borrowing levels and the ability to pledge securities toward such transactions.

Term Borrowings

Term borrowings include senior and subordinated borrowings with original maturities greater than one year.

Total term borrowings were $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Capital

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. Total equity was $8.7 billion at March 31, 2022 and $8.5 billion at December 31, 2021. Significant changes included net income of $198 million and the issuance of $494 million in Series G preferred stock, which were offset by $90 million

in common and preferred dividends and a decrease in AOCI of $424 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. 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 6.50%, 8.00%, 10.00%, and 5.00%, respectively. Furthermore, a capital conservation buffer of 50 basis points above these levels must be maintained on the Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios to avoid restrictions on dividends, share repurchases and certain discretionary bonuses.

As of March 31, 2022, each of FHN and First Horizon Bank had sufficient capital to qualify as well-capitalized

institutions and to meet the capital conservation buffer requirement. Capital ratios for both FHN and First Horizon Bank are calculated under the final rule issued by the banking regulators in 2020 to delay the effects of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year transition period.

For FHN, the risk-based regulatory capital ratios increased in first quarter 2022 relative to year-end 2021 primarily from the impact of net income less dividends during the first three months of 2022. FHN's Tier 1 Capital and Tier 1 Leverage ratios as of March 31, 2022 further benefited from the issuance of its Series G preferred stock. First Horizon Bank's risk-based regulatory capital ratios decreased from December 31, 2021 primarily from an increase in risk-weighted assets.

During 2022, capital ratios are expected to remain above well-capitalized standards plus the required capital conservation buffer.

Common Stock Purchase Programs

General Purchase Program

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.

On January 27, 2021, FHN announced that its Board of Directors approved a new $500 million common share purchase program that was to expire on January 31, 2023, replacing the 2018 program, which was terminated. On October 26, 2021, FHN announced that the 2021 program had been increased by $500 million and extended to October 31, 2023. Like the 2018 program, the 2021

program is not tied to any compensation plan. Purchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, including under Rule 10b5-1 plans as well as accelerated share repurchase and other structured transactions. The timing and exact amount of common share repurchases will be subject to various factors, including FHN's capital position, financial performance, capital impacts of strategic initiatives, market conditions and regulatory considerations.

As of March 31, 2022, $401 million in purchases had been made life-to-date under the 2021 program at an average price per share of $16.60, or $16.58 excluding commissions. Management does not currently anticipate purchasing additional shares under this authority.

Compensation Plans Purchase Program

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 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 stock option awards remain outstanding. The shares may be purchased over the option exercise periods of the various compensation plans on or before December 31, 2023. Purchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions and are subject to various factors including FHN's capital position, financial performance, capital impacts of strategic initiatives, market conditions and regulatory restrictions. As of March 31, 2022, the maximum number of shares that may be purchased under the program was 23.0 million shares. Management currently does not anticipate purchasing a material number of shares under this authority during 2022.

Risk Management

There have been no significant changes to FHN’s risk management practices as described under “Risk Management” included in Item 7 of FHN’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

Market Risk Management

Value-at-Risk and Stress Testing

VaR is a statistical risk measure used 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% confidence level with 1-day and 10-day time horizons. Additionally, FHN computes a

Stressed VaR 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 the trading securities portfolio.

A summary of FHN’s VaR and SVaR measures for 1-day and 10-day time horizons is presented in the following table:

FHN’s overall VaR measure includes both interest rate risk and credit spread risk. Separate measures of these component risks are as follows:

Table I.2.20

SCHEDULE OF RISKS INCLUDED IN VaR


	As of March 31, 2022				As of March 31, 2021				As of December 31, 2021

Interest rate risk	$	—	$	1	$	1	$	2	$	1	$	1
Credit spread risk	1		1		—		1		1		1

The potential risk of loss reflected by FHN’s VaR measures assumes the trading securities inventory is static. Because FHN Financial procures fixed income securities for purposes of distribution to clients, its trading securities inventory turns over regularly. Additionally, FHNF traders actively manage the trading securities inventory continuously throughout each trading day. Accordingly, FHNF’s trading securities inventory is highly dynamic, rather than static. As a result, it would be rare for FHNF to incur a negative revenue day in its fixed income activities at the levels indicated by its VaR measures.

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


			89			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (MD&A)
Table of Contents

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 FHN Financial 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

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 Report.

Management uses a 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. Interest rate exposure is measured by forecasting 12 months of NII under various interest rate scenarios and comparing the percentage change in NII for each scenario to a base case scenario where interest rates remain unchanged. Assumptions are made regarding future balance sheet composition, interest rate movements, and loan and deposit pricing. In addition, assumptions are made about the magnitude of asset prepayments and earlier than anticipated deposit withdrawals. The results of these scenarios help FHN develop strategies for managing exposure to interest rate risk. While management believes the assumptions used and scenarios selected in its simulations are reasonable, simulation modeling provides only an estimate, not a precise calculation, of exposure to any given change in interest rates.

Based on a static balance sheet as of March 31, 2022, NII exposures over the next 12 months assuming rate shocks of plus 25 basis points, 50 basis points, 100 basis points,

and 200 basis points are estimated to have favorable variances as shown in the table below.

Table I.2.21

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY


Shifts in Interest Rates (in bps)						% Change in Projected Net Interest Income
+25						3.8%
+50						8.1%
+100						16.4%
+200						28.9%

A steepening yield curve scenario where long-term rates increase by 50 basis points and short-term rates are static, results in a favorable NII variance of 0.5%. A flattening yield curve scenario where long-term rates decrease by 50 basis points and short-term rates are static, results in an unfavorable NII variance of 0.7%. Rate shocks of minus 25 basis points and 50 basis points result in unfavorable NII variances of 4.6% and 7.7%, assuming the absence of negative rates. These hypothetical scenarios are used to create a risk measurement framework, and do not necessarily represent management’s current view of future interest rates or market developments.

FHN’s net interest income has been impacted by the disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants as well as the low-rate environment. The impact of government stimulus programs and other developments have also influenced net interest income results, although the impacts from these programs have abated, and interest rates have begun to increase and are expected to

continue increasing in the future. FHN continues to monitor current economic trends and potential exposures closely.

Liquidity Risk Management

Among other things, ALCO is responsible for 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 of which the objective 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, 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 ($14.5 billion was available as of March 31, 2022), brokered deposits, loan sales, syndications, and access to the Federal Reserve Bank.

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 institution's client base which provides inexpensive, predictable pricing. The ratio of average loans, excluding loans HFS and restricted real estate loans, to average core deposits was 74% for March 31, 2022 and 80% for December 31, 2021.

FHN may also use unsecured short-term borrowings as a source of liquidity. Federal funds purchased from correspondent bank clients 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 consists of securities sold under agreements to repurchase

transactions accounted for as secured borrowings with business clients or broker dealer counterparties.

Both FHN and First Horizon Bank have the ability to generate liquidity by issuing senior or subordinated unsecured debt, preferred equity, and common equity, subject to market conditions and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. In February 2022, FHN issued and sold to TD 4,936 shares of Series G Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock in a private placement transaction for $494 million. As of March 31, 2022, FHN had outstanding $1.3 billion in senior and subordinated unsecured debt and $1.0 billion in non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock. As of March 31, 2022, First Horizon Bank and subsidiaries had outstanding preferred shares of $295 million, which are reflected as noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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. Applying the dividend restrictions imposed under applicable federal and state rules as outlined above, the Bank’s total amount available for dividends was $1.1 billion as of April 1, 2022.

In March 2022, FHN agreed to suspend the Dividend Reinvestment Plan in connection with the TD acquisition. As a result of the suspension of the Plan, participants in the Plan received their first quarter 2022 FHN dividend, paid on April 1, 2022, in cash. During the suspension period, dividend payments of FHN will not be automatically reinvested in additional shares of FHN common stock and participants in the Plan will be unable to purchase shares of FHN common stock through optional cash investments under the Plan.

First Horizon Bank declared and paid common dividends to the parent company in the amounts of $180 million and $85 million in first and second quarter 2022 and $770 million in 2021. First Horizon Bank declared preferred dividends in first quarter 2022 and declared and paid preferred dividends in each quarter of 2021. Additionally, First Horizon Bank declared preferred dividends in second quarter 2022, payable in July 2022.

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 (including capital conservation buffer requirements) and availability of funds to FHN

through a dividend from First Horizon Bank. Additionally, banking regulators generally require insured banks and bank holding companies to pay cash dividends only out of current operating earnings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, FHN is a party to a number of activities that contain credit, market and operational risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the consolidated financial statements. Such activities include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments. FHN enters into commitments to extend credit to borrowers, including loan commitments, lines of credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. Many of the commitments are expected to expire unused or be only partially used; therefore, the total amount of commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Based on its available liquidity and available borrowing capacity, FHN anticipates it will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its current commitments.

Repurchase Obligations

Prior to September 2008, legacy First Horizon originated loans through its pre-2009 mortgage business, primarily first lien home loans, with the intention of selling them. As discussed in Note 10 - Contingencies and Other Disclosures, FHN's principal remaining exposures for those activities relate to (i) indemnification claims by underwriters, loan purchasers, and other parties which assert that FHN-originated loans caused or contributed to losses which FHN is legally obliged to indemnify, and (ii) indemnification or other claims related to FHN's servicing of pre-2009 mortgage loans.

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

In determining potential loss content, claims are analyzed by purchaser, vintage, and claim type. FHN considers various inputs including claim rate estimates, historical average repurchase and loss severity rates, mortgage insurance cancellations, and mortgage insurance curtailment requests. Inputs are applied to claims in the

active pipeline, as well as to historical average inflows to estimate loss content related to potential future inflows. 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

FHN’s repurchase and foreclosure liability, primarily related to its pre-2009 mortgage business, is comprised of accruals to cover estimated loss content in the active pipeline (consisting of mortgage loan repurchase, make-whole, foreclosure/servicing demands and certain related exposures), estimated future inflows, and estimated loss content related to certain known claims not currently included in the active pipeline. The liability contemplates repurchase/make-whole and damages obligations and

estimates for probable incurred losses associated with loan populations excluded from the settlements with the GSEs, as well as other whole loans sold, mortgage insurance cancellation rescissions, and loans included in bulk servicing sales effected prior to the settlements with the GSEs. 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. The repurchase and foreclosure liability was $17 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Market Uncertainties and Prospective Trends

FHN’s future results could be affected both positively and negatively by several known trends. Key among those are changes in the U.S. and global economy and outlook, government actions affecting interest rates, government actions intended to stimulate the economy, and government actions and proposals which could have negative impacts on the economy at large or on certain

businesses. Additional risks relate to how the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect FHN’s clients, political uncertainty, changes in federal policies (including those publicly discussed, formally proposed, or recently implemented) and the potential impacts of those changes on our businesses and clients, and whether FHN’s strategic initiatives will succeed.

Inflation, Recession, and Federal Reserve Policy

In March 2020, in response to the economic downturn associated with the COVID-19 pandemic along with societal and government reactions to it, the Federal Reserve "eased" by lowering short-term interest rates and starting an asset purchase program intended to lower longer-term interest rates and foster access to credit. The effective yields of 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury securities achieved record low rates. These changes in interest rates and the volatility in the market negatively impacted FHN’s net interest margin. Amortization of net processing fees related to government relief programs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Paycheck Protection Program, offset a portion of the net interest margin decline. During 2021, easing policy continued. Interest rates fluctuated but remained very low, continuing to adversely impact FHN's net interest margin. Inflation in the U.S. rose significantly during 2021 but was viewed as transitory, driven by temporary supply-chain shortages coupled with strong demand as unemployment fell while government cash transfers to broad sections of the public continued.

In 2022 to date, with the economic effects of the pandemic receding and inflation continuing strongly, the Federal Reserve reversed its easing policy by reducing ("tapering") its asset purchases and starting to increase short-term interest rates. The Federal Reserve's most recent public comments indicate that: asset purchases will stop shortly; the Federal Reserve's holdings of assets will be reduced through attrition; and short-term rates are expected to be raised several more times during 2022. The Federal Reserve has not indicated that it intends to sell assets to reduce its holdings more quickly, but it could decide to take such action later. In any case, these actions are intended to increase both short- and long-term interest rates quickly. The primary driver of this change in viewpoint is the persistence and strength of inflation in the U.S.

Until first quarter 2022, there had been no reported quarterly contraction in the U.S. economy since 2020. The first quarter contraction was mild (1.4%, annualized). If contraction persists in the second quarter, the U.S.

technically would be in recession. The risk of recession, or an actual recessionary situation, may affect future actions by the Federal Reserve since raising interest rates tends to slow the economy and increase recession risk.

During this still-ongoing transitional period, the yield curve has flattened and modestly inverted at times. For example, overnight rates were higher than one- and two-month rates. Unusual yield curve effects, including inversion, may continue. A traditional measure of inversion—when the two-year rate is higher than the ten-year rate for a sustained period of time—has not yet occurred, though several brief inversions occurred in March and April this year. Traditional yield curve inversion is viewed, with statistical support, as a harbinger of economic recession.

As a result of recession risk, coupled with the uncertainties associated with the war in eastern Europe, financial markets world-wide have been volatile in 2022 with, in many asset classes and business sectors, generally lower valuations currently than at year-end 2021.

FHN cannot predict exactly when or how much short-term rates will be raised, nor how market-driven long-term rates will behave, nor how those actions may affect financial markets, during the remainder of 2022. Though rates have risen this year, they continue to remain low by historical standards.

In several respects FHN is likely to benefit from rising rates, as long as the rise in lending rates outpaces the inevitable rise in deposit and other funding rates. One area, however, already has been hurt. The general increase in interest rates in 2022 has pushed home mortgage rates in the U.S. higher. FHN's direct mortgage lending, lending to mortgage companies, and title insurance activities have seen business decline in 2022. Part of that decline likely is seasonal, as first quarter often is weaker than the warmer months in the U.S., but part likely is driven by higher rates coupled with still-high property valuations in many U.S. markets. If mortgage rates continue to rise, FHN's revenues and earnings from


			93			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (MD&A)
Table of Contents

those areas likely will continue to be muted compared with 2021.

War in Eastern Europe

In late February, 2022, the Russian military invaded Ukraine. Russian forces occupied Ukrainian territory and cities, some of which have since been liberated by Ukrainian forces. Much of Europe and the rest of the world, including the U.S., has imposed economic sanctions on Russia for its attack, its ongoing military campaign resulting in substantial civilian casualties, and the manner in which it has prosecuted the war which, reportedly, has significantly violated several international conventions and treaties.

The war and sanctions resulted in global oil and gas prices rising precipitously in 2022, along with the prices of

several other commodities exported by Russia, Ukraine, or both, including grains and vegetable oils. These effects likely have contributed significantly to a change in the Federal Reserve's views of inflation in the U.S., and to fears of a possible economic recession, all discussed in Inflation, Recession, and Federal Reserve Policy immediately above. Also, several U.S. and European multi-national companies have pulled operations and assets out of Russia and parts of Ukraine, compounding the economic impact of the war on the global economy.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic caused extraordinary disruption in 2020 that negatively impacted the economy and business activity, especially lending (other than lending related to home mortgages). During 2021 and thus far in 2022, FHN saw the lending pipeline improve in several areas (unrelated to home mortgages) as COVID-19 restrictions were partially or fully eased in most of FHN's markets. Despite variants of the COVID-19 virus triggering reinstatement of some restrictions in some markets, broadly speaking, FHN expects the impact of COVID-19

restrictions in its markets to continue to diminish over the rest of this year. However, the risk of resurgence remains.

In late March 2022, the pandemic began a resurgence in parts of China, prompting the Chinese government to lock down Shanghai, China's most populous city and a major international seaport. The lockdown has not yet significantly impacted the global economy, but soon could if it continues, illustrating how COVID resurgence outside of the U.S. can affect the U.S. and FHN.

LIBOR & Reference Rate Reform

LIBOR

The London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") for many years was the most widely used reference rate in the world. A large but declining portion of FHN's floating rate loans use LIBOR, denominated in U.S. Dollars ("USD"), as the reference rate to determine the interest rate paid by the client/borrower. In addition, certain floating-rate securities issued by FHN use USD LIBOR as the reference rate.

LIBOR is based on a mix of transaction-based data and expert judgment about market conditions. It is published in different tenors, which are time periods such as 1-week, 1-month, 12-month, etc.

LIBOR Discontinuance

About a decade ago, evidence emerged that some members of the panel that set LIBOR may have manipulated the published LIBOR rates rather than using strictly good-faith judgments. Several banks were fined.

In 2017, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”)—the governmental regulator of LIBOR—announced that it intended to halt persuading or compelling banks to submit

rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In 2021, the FCA announced that tenors of USD LIBOR would no longer be published as follows:

•One week and 2-month USD LIBOR would not be published after December 31, 2021; and

•All other USD LIBOR tenors (e.g., overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month tenors) would not be published after June 30, 2023.

U.S. Regulatory Position

In 2020, the Federal Reserve, the OCC, and the FDIC jointly encouraged U.S. banks to transition away from LIBOR for new contracts as soon as practicable and, in any event, by December 31, 2021. They noted that entering into new contracts that use LIBOR as a reference rate after December 31, 2021 would create safety and soundness risks.

Alternatives to LIBOR

LIBOR became the market-preferred reference rate because it was perceived by lenders and borrowers as being superior to alternatives in a wide range of circumstances.Now that the origination of LIBOR-indexed


			94			1Q22 FORM 10-Q REPORT


PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (MD&A)
Table of Contents

loans has ended, no single alternative reference rate has replaced LIBOR for USD transactions. Instead, a number of different reference rates are being used in different circumstances. These include:

•SOFR. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) is a group of private-market and financial regulator participants convened by the Federal Reserve and the New York Federal Reserve Bank to help ensure a successful transition from USD LIBOR to a more robust reference rate. The ARRC has recommended the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative. SOFR resets daily and is based on actual transaction data for the U.S. Treasury repurchase market. Accordingly, SOFR represents a riskless secured overnight rate.

•CME Term SOFR. Published by CME Group, Term SOFR is a forward-looking rate, with 1-month, 3-month and 6-month tenors, and is based on SOFR futures contracts. The ARRC has recommended conventions for Term SOFR rates and has recommended CME Group as the administrator for Term SOFR.

•AMERIBOR. The American Interbank Offered Rate (“AMERIBOR”) Index is produced by the American Financial Exchange. AMERIBOR is based on actual transaction data involving credit decisions by many financial institutions, on an unsecured basis.

•BSBY. The Bloomberg short-term bank yield index ("BSBY") is a proprietary rate index calculated and published by Bloomberg Index Services Limited. BSBY is based on actual transaction data involving unsecured credit.

•Prime. Although traditional prime rates (with each bank setting its own) are not likely to regain the prominence they had decades ago when U.S. banks were much smaller and the industry was more fragmented, for some clients and products banks may increase their usage of prime rates.

The alternatives listed above were made available to the majority of FHN’s commercial clients starting in November 2021. In accordance with the U.S. regulatory position, FHN ceased entering into new LIBOR based contracts as of December 31, 2021. Other alternative reference rates are being developed and FHN may consider them at a future time.

Each alternative reference rate has advantages and disadvantages compared with other alternatives in various circumstances. Despite being supported by the Federal Reserve's ARRC, SOFR may not gain the level of market acceptance and usage that USD LIBOR enjoyed within the U.S. Key aspects of SOFR that support this view are: (a) SOFR fundamentally is an overnight rate, and so is not easily or reliably translated into typical LIBOR tenors; and (b) SOFR is both secured and riskless, and so does not necessarily track a bank's cost of funds very well. For a

bank, it is critical to avoid significant mismatches over time between its (variable) cost of funds and its (variable) interest income. Term SOFR attempts to address some of these shortcomings, but not all of them.

All of the alternative reference rates selected by FHN to date meet the International Organization of Securities Commissions ("IOSCO") Principles for Financial Benchmarks, as affirmed by the rate administrator and/or an independent auditor. While banking regulators have stated that banks are free to choose the index rates they offer clients, some public sector officials have urged caution in using the new credit sensitive alternative reference rates, primarily due to the robustness of underlying data used to derive the rates. More specifically, there is concern of an “inverted pyramid” effect where a large number of financial contracts could be priced using an index derived from a relatively low volume of transactions. In an interagency statement on October 20, 2021, U.S. banking regulatory agencies noted that “supervised institutions should understand how their chosen reference rate is constructed and be aware of any fragilities associated with that rate and the markets that underlie it”. IOSCO has also warned of the potential for the “inverted pyramid” problem and will monitor how the IOSCO label is used by administrators.

FHN is monitoring the credit sensitive reference rates and regulatory guidance around use of such rates. FHN plans to limit use of credit sensitive rates to commercial loans ( approximately 2% of global USD LIBOR market) and related customer swaps (pending development of derivatives markets for these rates). Additionally, FHN expects that each financial contract will contain fallback language to guide transition from a credit sensitive rate to an alternative should that action be deemed necessary in the future.

FHN's Actions to Date & Transition Plans

Starting in 2019, FHN modernized the fallback language used in its loan documentation to better handle how floating rate loans would be re-set if LIBOR ceased to be published during the loan term.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, FHN ceased using USD LIBOR for new lending and renegotiated terms with clients whose loans are based on 1-week or 2-month USD LIBOR, which ceased publication at the end of 2021. Only a small portion of FHN's clients had such loans.

On the consumer side, FHN began transitioning from LIBOR-based adjustable rate mortgages ("ARMS") to SOFR-based ARMs in November 2021, and no longer offers LIBOR-based ARMs. SOFR has emerged as a market standard for ARMs in the U.S. and is the conforming convention for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

For all products, FHN developed a go-to-market strategy which included pricing considerations, associate training, and client communications. All required systems, processes, and reporting were updated to accommodate

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS (MD&A)
Table of Contents

the transition. FHN continues to monitor developments related to each of the alternative reference rates it currently offers. FHN's plans may change to meet evolving market conditions and preferences.

FHN has established a LIBOR Transition Office to assist associates in working with their clients to re-negotiate terms of loan and derivative contracts that extend past the June 30, 2023 cessation date for the remaining USD LIBOR tenors noted above.

While FHN has exposure to LIBOR in various contracts (e.g. securities, derivatives), FHN's primary exposure to LIBOR is in floating rate loans to customers and derivative contracts issued to customers through FHN Financial. Below is a summary of these exposures as of March 31, 2022:

Table I.2.23

LIBOR EXPOSURES



(Dollars in billions)	As of March 31, 2022		Mature after June 2023
Commercial loans (a)	$	22	$	16
Consumer loans (a)	3		3
Customer swaps (b)	10		10

(a) Amounts represent outstanding loan balances as of March 31, 2022.

(b) FHN has entered into offsetting upstream transactions with dealers to offset its market risk exposure.

FHN is developing a plan to amend existing LIBOR-based derivative instruments.

Financial Accounting Aspects

In 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which provides several optional expedients and exceptions to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The scope of ASU 2020-04 was expanded in 2021 with ASU 2021-01, "Scope". Refer to the Accounting Changes With Extended Transition Periods section of Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies for additional information.

In April 2022, the FASB proposed to extend the relief under Topic 848 (Reference Rate Reform) by two years, from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024.

U.S. Tax Accommodation

On December 30, 2021, the IRS released final guidance that is intended to facilitate the transition of existing contracts from LIBOR to new reference rates without triggering modification accounting or taxable exchange treatment for those contracts. This guidance specifies what must be met in order to qualify for the beneficial transition approach and FHN is considering this guidance in its transition plans.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

FHN has made no significant changes in its critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in its 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

Not applicable.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a) Unregistered Equity Securities Sold

During the first quarter of 2022, FHN sold no common or preferred equity securities which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other than shares of its Series G Preferred Stock, as described in this Item 2(a) below:

On February 27, 2022, in connection with the execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), FHN and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Canadian chartered bank (“TD”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, on February 28, 2022, FHN issued and sold to TD, which is an accredited investor as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, 4,935.694 shares of Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, Series G (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) of FHN, in a private placement transaction for $493,569,400.

At the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each share of Series G Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.625 per Share (“FHN Common Stock”), of FHN, as the surviving company in the initial merger, as set forth in the Merger Agreement. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated, each share of Series G Preferred Stock will be converted into 5,574.136 shares of FHN Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”), subject to the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (and receipt of any other governmental approvals) to the extent required with respect to any such conversion. If, however, the Merger

Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances relating to the failure to receive regulatory approvals required to consummate the Mergers, then the Conversion Rate will be 4,000 shares of FHN Common Stock. In no event will the shares of Series G Preferred Stock be convertible into shares of First Horizon Common Stock representing more than 4.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of FHN Common Stock (taking in account shares resulting from such conversion).

From the date of the Merger Agreement through the Effective Time or, in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated, until 45 days after termination, TD may not transfer or sell the Series G Preferred Stock or the shares of Common Stock into which the Series G Preferred Stock converts, except for sales or transfers to any direct or indirect subsidiary of TD or to the extent necessary to ensure TD does not hold more than 4.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of FHN Common Stock.

On February 28, 2022, FHN filed Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to its Restated Charter, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Tennessee, establishing the preferences, limitations, and relative rights of the Series G Preferred Stock.

Based on the facts set forth, FHN claims that the sale of Series G Preferred Stock to TD was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of that Act. Other statutory and/or regulatory exemptions also may apply.
