Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Financial Information

Basis of Accounting. The unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements of First Horizon National Corporation (“FHN”), including its subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. This preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements and could differ from actual results. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been made for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The operating results for the interim 2019 period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected going forward. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements in Exhibit 13 to FHN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Revenues. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied in an amount that reflects the consideration FHN expects to be entitled. FHN derives a significant portion of its revenues from fee-based services. Noninterest income from transaction-based fees is generally recognized immediately upon completion of the transaction. Noninterest income from service-based fees is generally recognized over the period in which FHN provides the service. Any services performed over time generally require that FHN render services each period and therefore FHN measures progress in completing these services based upon the passage of time and recognizes revenue as invoiced.

See Note 1– Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, for a discussion of FHN's key revenues.

Contract Balances. As of June 30, 2019, accounts receivable related to products and services on non-interest income were $ 9.1 million . For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, FHN had no material impairment losses on non-interest accounts receivable and there were no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition as of June 30, 2019.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods was not material.

Revenue expected to be recognized in any future year related to remaining performance obligations, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less and contracts where revenue is recognized as invoiced, is not material.

Refer to Note 13– Business Segment Information for a reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by major product line and reportable segment.

Leases. At inception, all arrangements are evaluated to determine if they contain a lease, which is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is deemed to exist when a lessor has granted and a lessee has received both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use.

Lessee. As a lessee, FHN recognizes lease (right-of-use) assets and lease liabilities for all leasing arrangements with lease terms that are greater than one year. The lease asset and lease liability are recognized at the present value of estimated future lease payments, including estimated renewal periods, with the discount rate reflecting a fully-collateralized rate matching the estimated lease term. Renewal options are included in the estimated lease term if they are considered reasonably certain of exercise. Periods covered by termination options are included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain they will not be exercised. Additionally, prepaid or accrued lease payments, lease incentives and initial direct costs related to lease arrangements are recognized within the right-of-use asset. Each lease is classified as a financing or operating lease which depends on the relationship of the lessee’s rights to the economic value of the leased asset. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability is recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in earnings, resulting in higher expense in the earlier portion of the lease term. For operating leases, a single lease cost is calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. Substantially all of FHN’s lessee arrangements are classified as operating leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, FHN does not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities and expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 1 – Financial Information (Continued)

Lease assumptions and classification are reassessed upon the occurrence of events that result in changes to the estimated lease term or consideration. Modifications to lease contracts are evaluated to determine 1) if a right to use an additional asset has been obtained, 2) if only the lease term and/or consideration have been revised or 3) if a full or partial termination has occurred. If an additional right-of use-asset has been obtained, the modification is treated as a separate contract and its classification is evaluated as a new lease arrangement. If only the lease term or consideration are changed, the lease liability is revalued with an offset to the lease asset and the lease classification is re-assessed. If a modification results in a full or partial termination of the lease, the lease liability is revalued through earnings along with a proportionate reduction in the value of the related lease asset and subsequent expense recognition is similar to a new lease arrangement.

Lease assets are evaluated for impairment when triggering events occur, such as a change in management intent regarding the continued occupation of the leased space. If a lease asset is impaired, it is written down to the present value of estimated future cash flows and the prospective expense recognition for that lease follows the accelerated expense recognition methodology applicable to finance leases, even if it remains classified as an operating lease.

Sublease arrangements are accounted for consistent with the lessor accounting described below. Sublease arrangements are evaluated to determine if changes to estimates for the primary lease are warranted or if the sublease terms reflect impairment of the related lease asset.

Lease assets are recognized in Other assets and lease liabilities are recognized in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition. Since substantially all of its leasing arrangements relate to real estate, FHN records lease expense, and any related sublease income, within Occupancy expense in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Lessor. As a lessor, FHN also evaluates its lease arrangements to determine whether a finance lease or an operating lease exists and utilizes the rate implicit in the lease arrangement as the discount rate to calculate the present value of future cash flows. Depending upon the terms of the individual agreements, finance leases represent either sales-type or direct financing leases, both of which require de-recognition of the asset being leased with offsetting recognition of a lease receivable that is evaluated for impairment similar to loans. Currently, all of FHN’s lessor arrangements are considered operating leases.

Lease income for operating leases is recognized over the life of the lease, generally on a straight line basis. Lease incentives and initial direct costs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated life of the lease. Lease income is not significant for any reporting periods and is classified as a reduction of Occupancy expense in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

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

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases - Targeted Improvements,” which provides an election for a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon initial adoption of ASU 2016-02. Alternatively, under the initial guidance of ASU 2016-02, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Both adoption alternatives include a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply, which would result in continuing to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous requirements (unless the lease is modified) except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous requirements. ASU 2016-02 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease arrangements. ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, FHN utilized the cumulative effect transition alternative provided by ASU 2018-11. FHN utilized the lease classification practical expedients and the short-term lease exemption upon adoption. FHN also has elected to determine the discount rate on leases as of the effective date and elected to use hindsight in determining lease terms as well as impairments of lease assets resulting from lease abandonments upon adoption. The table below summarizes the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019, for line items in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition. Lease assets of approximately $ 185 million are included in Other Assets. Lease liabilities of

Note 1 – Financial Information (Continued)

approximately $ 204 million are included in Other Liabilities. The after-tax decrease in Undivided Profits reflects the recognition of deferred gains associated with prior sale-leaseback transactions, revisions to the estimated useful lives of leasehold improvements and adjustments of lease expense to reflect revised lease duration estimates.

Loans, net of unearned income	$ 3,450
Premises and equipment, net	2,718
Other assets	183,884
Other liabilities	( 191,010	)
Undivided profits	1,011

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract,” which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). Capitalized implemented costs are required to be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement which includes the non-cancellable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by (1) an option to extend the arrangement if the customer is reasonably certain to exercise that option, (2) an option to terminate the arrangement if the customer is reasonably certain not to exercise the termination option, and (3) an option to extend (or not to terminate) the arrangement in which exercise of the option is in the control of the vendor. ASU 2018-15 also requires application of the impairment guidance applicable to long-lived assets to the capitalized implementation costs. Amortization expense related to capitalized implementation costs must be presented in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement and payments for capitalized implementation costs will be classified in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. Capitalized implementation costs will be presented in the statement of financial position in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Adoption may be either fully retrospective or prospective only. FHN elected early adoption of ASU 2018-15 effective January 1, 2019 using the prospective transition method and the effects of adoption were not significant.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” which makes several revisions and clarifications to the accounting for these items. The revisions related to ASU 2016-03 (Topic 326) are discussed below. ASU 2019-04 clarifies several aspects of fair hedge accounting, including the application to partial term fair value hedges. ASU 2019-04 provides an election regarding the timing for amortization of basis adjustments to hedged items in fair value hedges, indicating that amortization may, but is not required to, commence prior to the end of the hedge relationship. ASU 2019-04 also provides additional guidance related to the application of the hypothetical derivative method and first-payments-received method in cash flow hedges. Further, ASU 2019-04 indicates that remeasurement of an equity security without a readily determinable fair value when an orderly transaction is identified for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer represents a non-recurring fair value measurement and the related disclosure requirements apply to the remeasurement event. The hedging updates are effective at the beginning of the first annual reporting period after issuance with early adoption permitted. The financial instruments measurement and disclosure changes are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. FHN early adopted these portions of ASU 2019-04 in second quarter 2019 and the effects were not significant based on its existing accounting practices.

Accounting Changes Issued but Not Currently Effective

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

Note 1 – Financial Information (Continued)

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

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

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

ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. FHN continues to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-13, 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. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 is likely to lead to significant changes in accounting policies and procedures related to FHN’s ALLL, and it is possible that the impact of the adoption could be material to FHN’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. To date, the Company has, selected a software solution to serve as its CECL platform, completed model development activities, is finalizing model and accounting policy documentation including portfolio segmentation and measurement methodologies, is in the process of implementing the model platform, and assessing impacts to operational processes and internal controls. FHN intends to perform parallel calculations and analysis in the latter half of 2019.

FHN has assessed several asset classes that are within the scope of CECL and determined that the adoption effects for the change in measurement of credit risk will be minimal for these classes. This includes Fed funds sold which have no history of credit losses due to their short (typically overnight) duration and counterparty risk assessment processes. This also includes securities borrowed and securities purchased under agreements to resell which have collateral maintenance agreements that incorporate master netting provisions resulting in minimal uncollateralized positions as of any date as evidenced by the disclosures provided in Note 16 - Master Netting and Similar Agreements-Repurchase, Reverse Repurchase, and Securities Borrowing Transactions. Additionally, FHN has also evaluated the composition of its AFS securities and determined that the changes in ASU 2016-13 will not have a significant effect on the current portfolio.

ASU 2019-04 provides an election to either not measure or measure separately an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable (“AIR"). Entities electing to not measure an allowance for AIR must write off uncollectible interest in a timely manner. Additionally, an election is provided for the write off of uncollectible interest to be recorded either as a reversal of interest income or a charge against the allowance for credit losses or a combination of both. Disclosures are required depending upon which elections are made.

ASU 2019-04 also clarifies that when loans and securities are transferred between balance sheet categories (e.g., loans from held-for-investment to held-for-sale or securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale) the associated allowance for credit losses should be reversed to income and prospective accounting follows the requirements for the new classification. Further, ASU 2019-04 clarifies that recoveries should be incorporated within the estimation of the allowance for credit losses. Expected recoveries should not exceed the aggregate amount of prior write offs and expected future write offs. Additionally, for collateral

Note 1 – Financial Information (Continued)

dependent financial assets, the allowance for credit losses that is added to the amortized cost basis should not exceed amounts previously written off.

ASU 2019-04 also makes several changes when a discounted cash flow approach is used to measure expected credit losses. ASU 2019-04 removes ASU 2016-03’s prohibition of using projections of future interest rate environments when using a discounted cash flow method to measure expected credit losses on variable-rate financial instruments. If an entity uses projections or expectations of future interest rate environments in estimating expected cash flows, the same assumptions should be used in determining the effective interest rate used to discount those expected cash flows. The effective interest rate should also be adjusted to consider the effects of expected prepayments on the timing of expected future cash flows. ASU 2019-04 provides an election to adjust the effective interest rate used in discounting expected cash flows to isolate credit risk in measuring the allowance for credit losses. Further, the discount rate should not be adjusted for subsequent changes in expected prepayments if a financial asset is restructured in a troubled debt restructuring.

Related to collateral-dependent financial assets, ASU 2019-04 requires inclusion of estimated costs to sell in the measurement of expected credit losses in situations where the entity intends to sell rather than operate the collateral. Additionally, the estimated costs to sell should be undiscounted when the entity intends to sell rather than operate the collateral.

Finally, ASU 2019-04 specifies that contractual renewal or extension options, except those treated as derivatives, should be included in the determination of the contractual term for a financial asset when included in the original or modified contract as of the reporting date if they are not unconditionally cancellable by the entity.

The effective date and transition requirements for these components of ASU 2019-04 are consistent with the requirements for ASU 2016-13 and FHN is incorporating these changes and revisions within its implementation efforts. Based on its current practices for the timely write off uncollectible AIR, FHN intends to not measure an allowance for credit losses for AIR and to continue recognition of related write offs as a reversal of interest income.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Targeted Transition Relief,” which provides an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis that are in the scope of ASU 2016-13, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2019-05 are consistent with the requirements for ASU 2016-13. FHN is evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements for applying the fair value option in comparison to the requirements for applying CECL for certain in-scope asset classes other than loans.

Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures

On November 30, 2017, FHN completed its acquisition of Capital Bank Financial Corporation ("CBF") and its subsidiaries, including Capital Bank Corporation for an aggregate of 92,042,232 shares of FHN common stock and $ 423.6 million in cash in a transaction valued at $ 2.2 billion . In second quarter 2018, FHN canceled 2,373,220 common shares which had been issued but set aside for certain shareholders of CBF who have commenced a dissenters' appraisal process resulting in a reduction in equity consideration and an increase in cash consideration of $ 46.0 million . The final appraisal or resolution amount, as applicable, may differ from current estimates. CBF operated 178 branches in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida and Virginia at the time of closing. In relation to the acquisition, FHN acquired approximately $ 9.9 billion in assets, including approximately $ 7.3 billion in loans and $ 1.2 billion in AFS securities, and assumed approximately $ 8.1 billion of CBF deposits. FHN recorded goodwill of approximately $ 1.2 billion , representing the excess of acquisition consideration over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired.

On March 23, 2018, FHN divested two branches, including approximately $ 30 million of deposits and $ 2 million of loans. The branches, both in Greeneville, Tennessee, were divested in connection with First Horizon's agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and commitments to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which were entered into in connection with a customary review of FHN's merger with CBF.

In second quarter 2018, FHN sold approximately $ 120 million UPB of its subprime auto loans. These loans, originally acquired as part of the CBF acquisition, did not fit within FHN's risk profile. Based on the sales price, a measurement period adjustment to the acquisition-date fair value of the subprime auto loans was recorded in second quarter 2018. A measurement period adjustment was made in fourth quarter 2018 for other consumer loans acquired from CBF based on pricing information received from potential buyers.

See Note 2- Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, for additional information about the CBF acquisition and other acquisitions.

Expenses related to FHN's merger and integration activities are recorded in FHN's Corporate segment.

Total merger and integration expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are presented in the table below:

In addition to the transactions mentioned above, FHN acquires or divests assets from time to time in transactions that are considered business combinations or divestitures but are not material to FHN individually or in the aggregate. In April 2019, FHN sold a subsidiary acquired as part of the CBF acquisition, that did not fit within FHN's risk profile. The sale resulted in the removal of approximately $ 25 million UPB of subprime consumer loans from Loans held-for-sale on FHN's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition.

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

The carrying amount of equity investments without a readily determinable fair value was $ 26.3 million and $ 21.3 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The year-to-date 2019 and 2018 gross amounts of upward and downward valuation adjustments were not significant.

Unrealized gains of $ 1.2 million and $ .7 million were recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $ 4.6 million and $ 1.1 million were recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for equity investments with readily determinable fair values.

COMPONENTS OF THE LOAN PORTFOLIO

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

Concentrations

FHN has a concentration of residential real estate loans ( 21 percent of total loans), the majority of which is in the consumer real estate segment ( 20 percent of total loans). Loans to finance and insurance companies total $ 2.7 billion ( 14 percent of the C&I portfolio, or 9 percent of the total loans). FHN had loans to mortgage companies totaling $ 3.8 billion ( 20 percent of the C&I segment, or 13 percent of total loans) as of June 30, 2019 . As a result, 34 percent of the C&I segment is sensitive to impacts on the financial services industry.

FHN employs a dual grade commercial risk grading methodology to assign an estimate for the probability of default (“PD”) and the loss given default (“LGD”) for each commercial loan using factors specific to various industry, portfolio, or product segments that result in a rank ordering of risk and the assignment of grades PD 1 to PD 16 . This credit grading system is intended to identify and measure the credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the migration of loans between grading categories. It is also integral to the estimation methodology utilized in determining the allowance for loan losses since an allowance is established for pools of commercial loans based on the credit grade assigned. Each PD grade corresponds to an estimated one-year default probability percentage; a PD 1 has the lowest expected default probability, and probabilities increase as grades progress down the scale. PD 1 through PD 12 are “pass” grades. PD grades 13 - 16 correspond to the regulatory-defined categories of special mention ( 13 ), substandard ( 14 ), doubtful ( 15 ), and loss ( 16 ). Pass loan grades are required to be reassessed annually or earlier whenever there has been a material change in the financial condition of the borrower or risk characteristics of the relationship. All commercial loans over $ 1 million and certain commercial loans over $ 500,000 that are graded 13 or worse are reassessed on a quarterly basis. Loan grading discipline is regularly reviewed internally by Credit Assurance Services to determine if the process continues to result in accurate loan grading across the portfolio. FHN may utilize availability of guarantors/sponsors to support lending decisions during the credit underwriting process and when determining the assignment of internal loan grades. LGD grades are assigned based on a scale of 1 - 12 and represent FHN’s expected recovery based on collateral type in the event a loan defaults. See Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses for further discussion on the credit grading system.

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

The following table reflects the percentage of balances outstanding by average, refreshed FICO scores for the HELOC, real estate installment, and permanent mortgage classes of loans as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 :

	June 30, 2019 — HELOC	R/E Installment Loans	Permanent Mortgage	December 31, 2018 — HELOC	R/E Installment Loans	Permanent Mortgage

Troubled Debt Restructurings

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

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

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

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

On June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , FHN had $ 232.6 million and $ 228.2 million of portfolio loans classified as TDRs, respectively. For TDRs in the loan portfolio, FHN had loan loss reserves of $ 22.7 million , or 10 percent as of June 30, 2019 , and $ 27.7 million , or 12 percent as of December 31, 2018 . Additionally, $ 53.6 million and $ 57.8 million of loans held-for-sale as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, were classified as TDRs.

Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses

The ALLL includes the following components: reserves for commercial loans evaluated based on pools of credit graded loans and reserves for pools of smaller-balance homogeneous consumer loans, both determined in accordance with ASC 450-20-50. The reserve factors applied to these pools are an estimate of probable incurred losses based on management’s evaluation of historical net losses from loans with similar characteristics and are subject to qualitative adjustments by management to reflect current events, trends, and conditions (including economic considerations and trends). The current economic conditions and trends, performance of the housing market, unemployment levels, labor participation rate, regulatory guidance, and both positive and negative portfolio segment-specific trends, are examples of additional factors considered by management in determining the ALLL. Additionally, management considers the inherent uncertainty of quantitative models that are driven by historical loss data. Management evaluates the periods of historical losses that are the basis for the loss rates used in the quantitative models and selects historical loss periods that are believed to be the most reflective of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Management also periodically reviews analysis of the loss emergence period which is the amount of time it takes for a loss to be confirmed (initial charge-off) after a loss event has occurred. FHN performs extensive studies as it relates to the historical loss periods used in the model and the loss emergence period and model assumptions are adjusted accordingly. The ALLL also includes reserves determined in accordance with ASC 310-10-35 for loans determined by management to be individually impaired and an allowance associated with PCI loans. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 5 - Allowance for Loan Losses in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on FHN’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , for additional information about the policies and methodologies used in the aforementioned components of the ALLL.

Gross goodwill, accumulated impairments, and accumulated divestiture related write-offs were determined beginning January 1, 2002, when a change in accounting requirements resulted in goodwill being assessed for impairment rather than being amortized. Gross goodwill of $ 200.0 million with accumulated impairments and accumulated divestiture-related write-offs of $ 114.1 million and $ 85.9 million , respectively, were previously allocated to the non-strategic segment, resulting in $ 0 net goodwill allocated to the non-strategic segment as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The regional banking and fixed income segments do not have any accumulated impairments or divestiture related write-offs. The following is a summary of goodwill by reportable segment included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

CONTINGENCIES

Contingent Liabilities Overview

Contingent liabilities arise in the ordinary course of business. Often they are related to lawsuits, arbitration, mediation, and other forms of litigation. Various litigation matters are threatened or pending against FHN and its subsidiaries. Also, FHN at times receives requests for information, subpoenas, or other inquiries from federal, state, and local regulators, from other government authorities, and from other parties concerning various matters relating to FHN’s current or former businesses. Certain matters of that sort are pending at this time, and FHN is cooperating in those matters. Pending and threatened litigation matters sometimes are settled by the parties, and sometimes pending matters are resolved in court or before an arbitrator. 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 that the amount or range of that reasonably possible material loss is estimable. As defined in applicable accounting guidance, loss is reasonably possible if there is more than a remote chance of a material loss outcome for FHN. Set forth below are disclosures for certain pending or threatened litigation matters, including all matters mentioned in (i) or (ii) and certain matters mentioned in (iii). In addition, certain other matters, or groups of matters, are discussed relating to FHN’s former mortgage origination and servicing businesses. In all litigation matters discussed, unless settled or otherwise resolved, FHN believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to pursue those defenses vigorously.

FHN reassesses the liability for litigation matters each quarter as the matters progress. At June 30, 2019, the aggregate amount of liabilities established for all such loss contingency matters was $ 24.5 million . These liabilities are separate from those discussed under the heading “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 June 30, 2019, FHN is unable to estimate any material reasonably possible losses for contingency matters in future periods in excess of currently established liabilities.

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

Material Matters

FHN is one of multiple defendants in a consolidated putative class action suit: In re GSE Bonds Antitrust Litigation, No. 1:19-cv-01704-JSR (U.S. District Court S.D.N.Y.). The plaintiffs claim that defendants conspired to fix secondary market prices of government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) bonds from 2009 through 2015. Plaintiffs seek unspecified antitrust damages, which (if proved as claimed) would be trebled and applied jointly and severally among those defendants found liable. In addition, FHN has received a civil investigative demand from the Florida attorney general's anti-trust office for information relating to GSE bonds from 2008 to the present. The attorney general's demand is not an assertion of liability or a demand for payment against FHN. FHN is unable to determine that material loss is probable, and unable to estimate an RPL range, for FHN's potential exposure related to its GSE bond activities. Those inabilities are due to significant uncertainties regarding: plaintiffs’ theory of the case; the evidence that will emerge in discovery; the absence of specific dollar amounts claimed in the pending suit; the potential damages that might be awarded; the absence of a governmental claim against FHN; and the availability of substantial defenses to plaintiffs’ claims.

In the second quarter of 2019, FHN settled a suit claiming material deficiencies in the offering documents under which certificates relating to First Horizon branded proprietary securitizations were sold under FHN's former (pre-2009) mortgage business: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver for Colonial Bank, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 12 Civ. 6166 (LLS)(MHD)). The plaintiff in that suit claimed to have purchased (and later sold) certificates totaling $ 83.4 million , relating to a number of separate securitizations. At June 30, 2019 the settlement for this matter had not been paid. A substantial majority of the aggregate liabilities for loss contingency matters mentioned above relates to this matter; payment in the third quarter will reduce those liabilities significantly.

Other Former Mortgage Business Exposures

FHN has received indemnity claims from underwriters and others related to lawsuits as to which investors or others claimed to have purchased certificates in FHN proprietary securitizations but as to which FHN was not named a defendant. For most pending indemnity claims involving proprietary securitizations, FHN is unable to estimate an RPL range due to significant uncertainties regarding: claims as to which the claimant specifies no dollar amount; the potential remedies that might be available or awarded; the availability of significantly dispositive defenses such as statutes of limitations or repose; the outcome of potentially dispositive early-stage motions such as motions to dismiss; the incomplete status of the discovery process; the lack of a precise statement of damages; inability to identify specific loans and/or breaches that are the source of the claim; lack of specific grounds to trigger FHN's indemnity obligation; and lack of precedent claims. The alleged purchase prices of the certificates subject to pending indemnification claims, excluding the FDIC-Colonial Bank matter mentioned above, total $ 231.2 million .

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 an FHN securitization. These claims generally assert that FHN-originated loans contributed to claimant’s losses in connection with settlements that claimant paid to various third parties in connection with mortgage loans securitized by claimant. 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, starting in 2011, 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.

Note 11 – Contingencies and Other Disclosures (Continued)

FHN has additional potential exposures related to its former mortgage businesses. A few of those matters have become litigation which FHN currently estimates are immaterial, some are non-litigation claims or threats, some are mere subpoenas or other requests for information, and in some areas FHN has no indication of any active or threatened dispute. Some of those matters might eventually result in 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

The repurchase and foreclosure liability 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 $ 17.5 million and $ 32.3 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Accrued liabilities for FHN’s estimate of these obligations are reflected in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition. Charges/expense reversals to increase/decrease the liability are included within Repurchase and foreclosure provision/(provision credit) on the Consolidated Condensed 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.

Note 12 – Pension, Savings, and Other Employee Benefits

Pension plan. FHN sponsors a noncontributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan to employees hired or re-hired on or before September 1, 2007. Pension benefits are based on years of service, average compensation near retirement or other termination, and estimated social security benefits at age 65 . Benefits under the plan are “frozen” so that years of service and compensation changes after 2012 do not affect the benefit owed. Minimum contributions are based upon actuarially determined amounts necessary to fund the 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 an insignificant contribution to the qualified pension plan in 2018. Management does not currently anticipate that FHN will make a contribution to the qualified pension plan for the remainder of 2019.

FHN assumed two additional qualified plans in conjunction with the CBF acquisition. Both legacy CBF plans are frozen. As of December 31, 2018, the aggregate benefit obligation for the plans was $ 17.1 million and aggregate plan assets were $ 16.5 million . Benefit payments, expense and actuarial gains/losses related to these plans were insignificant for the first half of 2019 and 2018. Additional funding amounts to these plans are dependent upon the potential settlement of the plans. Due to the insignificant financial statement impact, these two plans are not included in the disclosures that follow.

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 $ 5.8 million for 2018 . FHN anticipates making benefit payments under the non-qualified plans of $ 5.2 million in 2019 .

Savings plan. FHN provides all qualifying full-time employees with the opportunity to participate in FHN's tax qualifi ed 401(k) savings plan. The qualified plan allows employees to defer receipt of earned salary, up to tax law limits, on a tax- advantaged basis. Accounts, which are held in trust, may be invested in a wide range of mutual funds and in FHN common stock. Up to tax law limits, FHN provides a 100 percent match for the first 6 percent of salary deferred, with company matching contributions invested according to a participant’s current investment election. Through a non-qualified savings restoration plan, FHN provides a restorative benefit to certain highly-compensated employees who participate in the savings plan and whose contribution elections are capped by tax limitations.

Other employee benefits. FHN provides postretirement life insurance benefits to certain employees and also provides postretirement medical insurance benefits to retirement-eligible employees. The postretirement medical plan is contributory with FHN contributing a fixed amount for certain participants. FHN’s postretirement benefits include certain prescription drug benefits.

Service cost is included in Employee compensation, incentives, and benefits in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. All other components of net periodic benefit cost are included in All other expense. The components of net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended June 30 are as follows:

Note 13 – Business Segment Information

FHN has four business segments: regional banking, fixed income, corporate, and non-strategic. The regional banking segment offers financial products and services, including traditional lending and deposit taking, to consumer and commercial customers in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and other selected markets. Regional banking also provides investments, wealth management, financial planning, trust services and asset management, mortgage banking, credit card, and cash management. Additionally, the regional banking segment includes correspondent banking which provides credit, depository, and other banking related services to other financial institutions nationally. The fixed income segment consists of fixed income securities sales, trading, underwriting, and strategies for institutional clients in the U.S. and abroad, as well as loan sales, portfolio advisory services, and derivative sales. The corporate segment consists of unallocated corporate expenses, expense on subordinated debt issuances, bank-owned life insurance, unallocated interest income associated with excess equity, net impact of raising incremental capital, revenue and expense associated with deferred compensation plans, funds management, tax credit investment activities, derivative valuation adjustments related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares, gain/(loss) on extinguishment of debt, acquisition- and integration-related costs, expenses associated with rebranding initiatives, and various charges related to restructuring, repositioning, and efficiency efforts. The non-strategic segment consists of run-off consumer lending activities, legacy (pre-2009) mortgage banking elements, and the associated ancillary revenues and expenses related to these businesses. Non-strategic also includes the wind-down trust preferred loan portfolio and exited businesses.

Periodically, FHN adapts its segments to reflect managerial or strategic changes. FHN may also modify its methodology of allocating expenses and equity among segments which could change historical segment results. Business segment revenue, expense, asset, and equity levels reflect those which are specifically identifiable or which are allocated based on an internal allocation method. Because the allocations are based on internally developed assignments and allocations, to an extent they are subjective. Generally, all assignments and allocations have been consistently applied for all periods presented. The following table reflects the amounts of consolidated revenue, expense, tax, and average assets for each segment for the three and six months ended June 30 :

Note 14 – Variable Interest Entities

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

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

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

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

Nonconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

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

FHN accounts for all qualifying LIHTC investments under the proportional amortization method. Under this method an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense/(benefit). LIHTC investments that do not qualify for the proportional amortization method are accounted for using the equity method. Expenses associated with these investments were $ .1 million and $ .9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively and $ .7 million and $ 1.9 million for six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table summarizes the impact to the Provision/(benefit) for income taxes on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , and 2018 for LIHTC investments accounted for under the proportional amortization method.

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

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

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

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

Proprietary Residential Mortgage Securitizations. FHN holds variable interests (primarily principal-only strips) in proprietary residential mortgage securitization trusts it established prior to 2008 as a source of liquidity for its mortgage banking operations. Except for recourse due to breaches of representations and warranties made by FHN in connection with the sale of the loans to the trusts, the creditors of the trusts hold no recourse to the assets of FHN. Additionally, FHN has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the trusts. Based on their restrictive nature, the trusts are considered VIEs as the holders of equity at risk do not have the power through voting rights, or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the trusts’ economic performance. However, FHN did not have the ability to participate in significant portions of a securitization trust’s cash flows and FHN was not considered the primary beneficiary of the trust. Therefore, these trusts were not consolidated by FHN.

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

Table of Contents

Note 14 – Variable Interest Entities (Continued)

the power through voting rights, or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. FHN could potentially receive benefits or absorb losses that are significant to the trusts based on the nature of the trusts’ activities and the size of FHN’s holdings. However, FHN is solely a holder of the trusts’ securities and does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the trusts’ economic performance, and is not considered the primary beneficiary of the trusts. FHN has no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the trusts.

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

Sale Leaseback Transaction . FTB has entered into an agreement with a single asset leasing entity for the sale and leaseback of an office building. In conjunction with this transaction, FTB loaned funds to a related party of the buyer that were used for the purchase price of the building. FTB also entered into a construction loan agreement with the single asset entity for renovation of the building. Since this transaction did not qualify as a sale prior to 2019, it was accounted for using the deposit method which created a net asset or liability for all cash flows between FTB and the buyer. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 the transaction qualified as a seller-financed sale-leaseback. The buyer-lessor in this transaction meets the definition of a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk since FTB is providing the funding for the purchase and renovation. A related party of the buyer-lessor has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the operations and could potentially receive benefits or absorb losses that are significant to the transactions, making it the primary beneficiary. Therefore, FTB does not consolidate the leasing entity.

Proprietary Trust Preferred Issuances . In conjunction with the acquisition of CBF, FHN acquired junior subordinated debt totaling $ 212.4 million underlying multiple issuances of trust preferred debt by institutions previously acquired by CBF. All of these 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 power through voting rights, or similar rights, 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.

Note 15 – Derivatives

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

Credit risk represents the potential loss that may occur if a party to a transaction fails to perform according to the terms of the contract. The measure of credit exposure is the replacement cost of contracts with a positive fair value. FHN manages credit risk by entering into financial instrument transactions through national exchanges, primary dealers or approved counterparties, and by using mutual margining and master netting agreements whenever possible to limit potential exposure. FHN also maintains collateral posting requirements with certain counterparties to limit credit risk. 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 Condensed Statements of Condition. Treatment of daily margin as a settlement has no effect on hedge accounting or gains/losses for the applicable derivative contracts. On June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, FHN had $ 96.2 million and $ 76.0 million of cash receivables and $ 44.1 million and $ 34.0 million of cash payables related to collateral posting under master netting arrangements, inclusive of collateral posted related to contracts with adjustable collateral posting thresholds and over-collateralized positions, with derivative counterparties. With exchange-traded contracts, the credit risk is limited to the clearinghouse used. For non-exchange traded instruments, credit risk may occur when there is a gain in the fair value of the financial instrument and the counterparty fails to perform according to the terms of the contract and/or when the collateral proves to be of insufficient value. See additional discussion regarding master netting agreements and collateral posting requirements later in this note under the heading “Master Netting and Similar Agreements.” Market risk represents the potential loss due to the decrease in the value of a financial instrument caused primarily by changes in interest rates or the prices of debt instruments. FHN manages market risk by establishing and monitoring limits on the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken. FHN continually measures this risk through the use of models that measure value-at-risk and earnings-at-risk.

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

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

Trading Activities

FHN’s fixed income segment trades U.S. Treasury, U.S. Agency, government-guaranteed loan, mortgage-backed, corporate and municipal fixed income securities, and other securities for distribution to customers. When these securities settle on a delayed basis, they are considered forward contracts. Fixed income also enters into interest rate contracts, including caps, swaps, and floors, for its customers. In addition, fixed income enters into futures and option contracts to economically hedge interest rate risk associated with a portion of its securities inventory. These transactions are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in fixed income noninterest income. Related assets and liabilities are recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition as Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities. The FTN Financial Risk Committee and the Credit Risk Management Committee collaborate to mitigate credit risk related to these transactions. Credit risk is controlled through credit approvals, risk control limits, and ongoing monitoring procedures. Total trading revenues were $ 54.5 million and

$ 29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , and $ 99.0 million and $ 68.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Trading revenues are inclusive of both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and are included in Fixed income noninterest income on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Interest Rate Risk Management

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

FHN has designated a derivative transaction in a hedging strategy to manage interest rate risk on $ 400.0 million of senior debt issued by FTBNA which matures in December 2019. This qualifies for hedge accounting under ASC 815-20 using the long-haul method. FHN entered into a pay floating, receive fixed interest rate swap to hedge the interest rate risk of the senior debt.

FHN has designated a derivative transaction in a hedging strategy to manage interest rate risk on $ 500.0 million of senior debt which matures in December 2020. This qualifies for hedge accounting under ASC 815-20 using the long-haul method. FHN entered into a pay floating, receive fixed interest rate swap to hedge the interest rate risk of the senior debt.

In first quarter 2016, FHN entered into a pay floating, receive fixed interest rate swap in a hedging strategy to manage its exposure to the variability in cash flows related to the interest payments for the following five years on $ 250 million principal of debt instruments, which primarily consist of held-to-maturity trust preferred loans that have variable interest payments based on 3-month LIBOR. In first quarter 2017, FHN initiated cash flow hedges of $ 650 million notional amount that had initial durations between three and seven years . The debt instruments primarily consist of held-to-maturity commercial loans that have variable interest payments based on 1-month LIBOR. These qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges under ASC 815-20. All changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded as a component of AOCI. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI to earnings as the hedged cash flows affect earnings. Interest paid or received for these swaps is recognized as an adjustment to interest income of the assets whose cash flows are being hedged.

The following tables summarize FHN’s derivative activities associated with cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 :

Other Derivatives

In conjunction with the sales of a portion of its Visa Class B shares in 2010 and 2011, FHN and the purchaser entered into derivative transactions whereby FHN will make or receive cash payments whenever the conversion ratio of the Visa Class B shares into Visa Class A shares is adjusted. FHN is also required to make periodic financing payments to the purchasers until all of Visa's covered litigation matters are resolved. In third quarter 2018, FHN sold the remainder of its Visa Class B shares, entering into a similar derivative arrangement with the counterparty. All of these derivatives extend until the end of Visa’s Covered Litigation matters. In September 2018, Visa reached a preliminary settlement for one class of plaintiffs in its Payment Card Interchange matter which has received court approval. This settlement contains opt out provisions for individual plaintiffs as well as a termination option if opt outs exceed a specified threshold. Settlement has not been reached with the second class of plaintiffs in this matter and other covered litigation matters are also pending judicial resolution. Accordingly, the value and timing for completion of Visa’s Covered Litigation matters are uncertain.

The derivative transaction executed in third quarter 2018 includes a contingent accelerated termination clause based on the credit ratings of FHN and FTBNA. FHN has not received or paid collateral related to this contract. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the derivative liabilities associated with the sales of Visa Class B shares were $ 26.5 million and $ 31.5 million , respectively. See Note 17 - Fair Value of Assets & 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , these loans were valued at $ 16.0 million and $ 11.0 million , respectively. The balance sheet amount and the gains/losses associated with these derivatives were not significant.

Master Netting and Similar Agreements

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

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

Table of Contents

Note 15 – Derivatives (Continued)

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

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

The net fair value, determined by individual counterparty, of all derivative instruments with adjustable collateral posting thresholds was $ 62.2 million of assets and $ 15.8 million of liabilities on June 30, 2019 , and $ 20.7 million of assets and $ 37.8 million of liabilities on December 31, 2018 . As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , FHN had received collateral of $ 116.5 million and $ 86.6 million and posted collateral of $ 30.6 million and $ 16.2 million , respectively, in the normal course of business related to these agreements.

Certain agreements entered into prior to required central clearing also contain accelerated termination provisions, inclusive of the right of offset, if a counterparty’s credit rating falls below a specified level. If a counterparty’s debt rating (including FHN’s and FTBNA’s) were to fall below these minimums, these provisions would be triggered, and the counterparties could terminate the agreements and require immediate settlement of all derivative contracts under the agreements. The net fair value, determined by individual counterparty, of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent accelerated termination provisions was $ 62.2 million of assets and $ 6.7 million of liabilities on June 30, 2019 , and $ 19.0 million of assets and $ 33.2 million of liabilities on December 31, 2018 . As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , FHN had received collateral of $ 116.5 million and $ 84.5 million and posted collateral of $ 21.5 million and $ 15.2 million , respectively, in the normal course of business related to these contracts.

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

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

Note 16 – 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 Condensed Statements of Condition. For liability positions, securities collateral pledged by FHN is generally represented within FHN’s trading or available-for-sale securities portfolios.

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

Note 17 – Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities

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

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

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

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

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 Condensed Statements of Condition at June 30, 2019 , and December 31, 2018 , respectively, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the related carrying value.

(Dollars in thousands)	Carrying value at June 30, 2019 — Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total

(a) Represents carrying value of loans for which adjustments are required to be based on the appraised value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.

(b) Represents the fair value of foreclosed properties that were measured subsequent to their initial classification as OREO. Balance excludes OREO related to government insured mortgages.

For assets measured on a nonrecurring basis which were still held on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition at period end, the following table provides information about the fair value adjustments recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 :

Related to its restructuring, repositioning, and efficiency efforts, FHN recognized $ 11.4 million and $ .5 million of impairments for tangible long-lived assets in second and first quarter 2019, respectively. FHN also recognized $ .3 million and $ .8 million of impairments for lease assets in second and first quarter 2019, respectively, related to these efforts. These amounts primarily related to branch optimization and were recognized in the Corporate segment.

In second quarter 2019, FHN recognized $ 7.1 million of impairments within the Corporate segment for long-lived tangible assets, primarily signage, related to the company's rebranding initiative. Also in second quarter 2019, FHN recognized $ 1.5 million of impairments for lease assets related to continuing acquisition integration efforts associated with reduction of leased office space. In second quarter 2019 FHN recognized $ .8 million of impairments and $ .3 million of impairment reversals, respectively, related to dispositions of acquired properties. These amounts were recognized in the Corporate segment.

In fourth, third, and second quarters of 2018, FHN recognized $ 1.9 million , $ .7 million , and $ 1.3 million , respectively, of impairments of long-lived assets in its Corporate segment primarily related to optimization efforts for its facilities. In fourth and third quarter 2018 $ .5 million and $ 1.0 million , respectively, of impairment charges previously recognized in 2017 in the Corporate segment were reversed based on the disposition price for the applicable location.

Lease asset impairments recognized in 2019 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.

For all periods, 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 on the revised estimated useful lives of the related assets. Both measurement methodologies are considered Level 3 valuations. Impairment adjustments recognized upon disposition of a location are considered Level 2 valuations.

Securities AFS . 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.

Note 17 – Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities (Continued)

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 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.

Derivative liabilities. In conjunction with the sales of portions of its 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, net of unearned income 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 almost all types of mortgage loans originated for sale purposes under the Financial Instruments Topic (“ASC 825”) 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 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.

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 thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30 — 2019	2018	Six Months Ended June 30 — 2019	2018
Changes in fair value included in net income:
Mortgage banking noninterest income
Loans held-for-sale	$ 321	$ 540	$ 816	$ 709

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 , and 2018 , the amounts 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the amounts for residential real estate loans held-for-sale included gains of $ .3 million 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 Condensed Statements of Income as interest on loans held-for-sale.

FHN has elected to account for retained interest-only strips from guaranteed SBA loans recorded in available-for-sale securities at fair value through earnings. Since these securities are subject to the risk that prepayments may result in FHN not recovering all or a portion of its recorded investment, the fair value election results in a more timely recognition of the effects of estimated prepayments through earnings rather than being recognized through other comprehensive income with periodic review for other-than-temporary impairment. Gains or losses are recognized through fixed income revenues and are presented in the recurring measurements table.

Determination of Fair Value

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

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

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

Trading securities also include retained interests in prior mortgage securitizations that qualify as financial assets, which include primarily principal-only strips. FHN uses inputs including yield curves, credit spreads, and prepayment speeds to determine the fair value of principal-only strips.

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

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 the Company 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.

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

The Company utilizes quoted market prices of similar instruments or broker and dealer quotations to value the SBA and USDA guaranteed loans. The Company 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.

Note 17 – Fair Value of Assets & Liabilities (Continued)

Collateral-Dependent loans. 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.

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

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

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 Condensed Statements of Condition 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.

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

The following fair value estimates are determined as of a specific point in time utilizing various assumptions and estimates. The use of assumptions and various valuation techniques, as well as the absence of secondary markets for certain financial instruments, reduces the comparability of fair value disclosures between financial institutions. Due to market illiquidity, the fair values for loans, net of unearned income, loans held-for-sale, and term borrowings as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , involve the use of significant internally-developed pricing assumptions for certain components of these line items. The assumptions and valuations utilized for this disclosure are considered to reflect inputs that market participants would use in

transactions involving these instruments as of the measurement date. The valuations of legacy assets, particularly consumer loans within the Non-Strategic segment and TRUPS loans, are influenced by changes in economic conditions since origination and risk perceptions of the financial sector. These considerations affect the estimate of a potential acquirer’s cost of capital and cash flow volatility assumptions from these assets and the resulting fair value measurements may depart significantly from FHN’s internal estimates of the intrinsic value of these assets.

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

Note 18 – Restructuring, Repositioning, and Efficiency

In first quarter 2019, FHN initiated a company-wide review of business practices with the goal of optimizing its expense base to improve profitability and create capacity to reinvest savings into technology and revenue production activities. Restructuring, repositioning, and efficiency charges related to these corporate-driven actions were $ 30.8 million in the first half 2019 and are included in the corporate segment. Significant expenses recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 resulted from the following actions:

• Severance and other employee costs of $ 9.1 million primarily related to efficiency initiatives within corporate and bank services functions which are classified as Employee compensation, incentives and benefits within noninterest expense.

• Expense of $ 8.5 million largely related to the identification of efficiency opportunities within the organization which is reflected in Professional fees.

• Expense of $ 11.9 million related to costs associated with asset impairments which is reflected in Other expense.

Settlement of the obligations arising from current initiatives will be funded from operating cash flows.

Total expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is presented in the table below:

FIRST HORIZON NATIONAL CORPORATION

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

First Horizon National Corporation (“FHN”) began as a community bank chartered in 1864. FHN's sole class of common stock, $.625 par value, is listed and trades on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. under the symbol FHN.

FHN is the parent company of First Tennessee Bank National Association ("FTBNA"). FTBNA's principal divisions and subsidiaries operate under the brands of First Tennessee Bank, Capital Bank, FTB Advisors, and FTN Financial. FHN offers regional banking, wealth management and capital market services through the First Horizon family of companies. First Tennessee Bank, Capital Bank, and FTB Advisors provide consumer and commercial banking and wealth management services. FTN Financial ("FTNF"), which operates partly through a division of FTBNA and partly through subsidiaries, is an industry leader in fixed income sales, trading, and strategies for institutional clients in the U.S. and abroad. FTBNA has over 270 banking offices in seven southeastern U.S. states, and FTNF has 29 offices in 18 states across the U.S.

FHN is composed of the following operating segments:

• Regional banking segment offers financial products and services, including traditional lending and deposit taking, to consumer and commercial customers in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and other selected markets. Regional banking also provides investments, wealth management, financial planning, trust services and asset management, mortgage banking, credit card, and cash management. Additionally, the regional banking segment includes correspondent banking which provides credit, depository, and other banking related services to other financial institutions nationally.

• Fixed income segment consists of fixed income securities sales, trading, underwriting, and strategies for institutional clients in the U.S. and abroad, as well as loan sales, portfolio advisory services, and derivative sales.

• Corporate segment consists of unallocated corporate expenses, expense on subordinated debt issuances, bank-owned life insurance, unallocated interest income associated with excess equity, net impact of raising incremental capital, revenue and expense associated with deferred compensation plans, funds management, tax credit investment activities, derivative valuation adjustments related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares, gain/(loss) on extinguishment of debt, acquisition- and integration-related costs, expenses associated with rebranding initiatives, and various charges related to restructuring, repositioning, and efficiency efforts.

• Non-strategic segment consists of run-off consumer lending activities, legacy (pre-2009) mortgage banking elements, and the associated ancillary revenues and expenses related to these businesses. Non-strategic also includes the wind-down trust preferred loan portfolio and exited businesses.

In first quarter 2018, FHN divested two branches, including approximately $30 million of deposits and $2 million of loans. The branches, both in Greeneville, Tennessee, were divested in connection with First Horizon's agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and commitments to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which were entered into in connection with a customary review of FHN's merger with Capital Bank Financial Corporation ("CBF").

In second quarter 2018, FHN sold approximately $120 million UPB of its subprime auto loans. These loans, originally acquired as part of the CBF acquisition, did not fit within FHN's risk profile.

In April 2019, FHN sold a subsidiary acquired as part of the CBF acquisition, that did not fit within FHN's risk profile. The sale resulted in the removal of approximately $25 million UPB of subprime consumer loans from Loans held-for-sale on FHN's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition.

In relation to all acquisitions, FHN's operating results include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the acquisition date. Refer to Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures in this report and in Exhibit 13 to FHN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information.

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

information including the 2018 financial statements, notes, and MD&A is provided in Exhibit 13 to FHN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING UPDATES

Effective January 1, 2019, FHN adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 " Leases " and related ASUs on a prospective basis which resulted in the recognition of approximately $185 million of lease assets and approximately $204 million of lease liabilities. See Note 1 – Financial Information for additional information.

Non-GAAP Measures

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

Presentation of regulatory measures, even those which are not GAAP, provide a meaningful base for comparability to other financial institutions subject to the same regulations as FHN, as demonstrated by their use by banking regulators in reviewing capital adequacy of financial institutions. Although not GAAP terms, these regulatory measures are not considered “non-GAAP” under U.S. financial reporting rules as long as their presentation conforms to regulatory standards. Regulatory measures used in this MD&A include: 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 (“RWA”), which is a measure of total on- and off-balance sheet assets adjusted for credit and market risk, used to determine regulatory capital ratios.

The non-GAAP measure presented in this filing is return on average tangible common equity (“ROTCE”). Refer to table 24 for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP to GAAP measure and presentation of the most comparable GAAP item.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, operational, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond FHN’s control, and many of which, with respect to future business decisions and actions (including acquisitions and divestitures), are subject to change. Examples of uncertainties and contingencies include, among other important factors: global, general and local economic and business conditions, including economic recession or depression; the stability or volatility of values and activity in the residential housing and commercial real estate markets; potential requirements for FHN to repurchase, or compensate for losses from, previously sold or securitized mortgages or securities based on such mortgages; potential claims alleging mortgage servicing failures, individually, on a class basis, or as master servicer of securitized loans; potential claims relating to participation in government programs, especially lending or other financial services programs; expectations of and actual timing and amount of interest rate movements, including the slope and shape of the yield curve, which can have a significant impact on a financial services institution; market and monetary fluctuations, including fluctuations in mortgage markets; inflation or deflation; customer, investor, competitor, regulatory, and legislative responses to any or all of these conditions; the financial condition of borrowers and other counterparties; competition within and outside the financial services industry; geopolitical developments including possible terrorist activity; natural disasters; effectiveness and cost-efficiency of FHN’s hedging practices; technological changes; fraud, theft, or other incursions through conventional, electronic, or other means directly or indirectly affecting FHN or its customers, business counterparties or competitors; demand for FHN’s product offerings; new products and services in the industries in which FHN operates; the increasing use of new technologies to interact with customers and others; and critical accounting estimates. Other factors are those inherent in originating, selling, servicing, and holding loans and loan-based assets, including prepayment risks, pricing concessions, fluctuation in U.S. housing and other

real estate prices, fluctuation of collateral values, and changes in customer profiles. Additionally, the actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve” or “Fed”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”), the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (“MSRB”), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“Council”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), and other regulators and agencies; pending, threatened, or possible future regulatory, administrative, and judicial outcomes, actions, and proceedings; current or future Executive orders; changes in laws and regulations applicable to FHN; and FHN’s success in executing its business plans and strategies and managing the risks involved in the foregoing, could cause actual results to differ, perhaps materially, from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

FHN assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements that are made in this Quarterly Report of which this MD&A is a part or otherwise from time to time. Actual results could differ and expectations could change, possibly materially, because of one or more factors, including those presented in this Forward-Looking Statements section, in other sections of this MD&A, in other parts of and exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2019 , and in documents incorporated into this Quarterly Report.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

In second quarter 2019, FHN reported net income available to common shareholders of $109.3 million, or $.35 per diluted share, compared to net income available to common of $81.6 million, or $.25 per diluted share in second quarter 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 FHN reported net income available to common shareholders of $208.4 million, or $.66 diluted share compared to $172.2 million, or $.52 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Results improved in 2019 relative to the prior year driven by a decrease in noninterest expense and higher fee income, somewhat offset by an increase in loan loss provision expense and lower net interest income ("NII").

Total revenue increased to $461.6 million and $897.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 from $438.5 million and $875.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, driven by higher noninterest income as a result of increased fixed income sales revenue in 2019 relative to the prior year. To a lesser extent, noninterest income was also favorably impacted by higher deferred compensation income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. NII decreased 2 percent in both second quarter and year-to-date 2019 to $303.6 million and $598.1 million, respectively, as higher deposit rates negatively impacted NII in 2019, but were somewhat mitigated by balance sheet growth and higher loan accretion in 2019 relative to the prior year.

Noninterest expense decreased 10 percent and 8 percent, respectively to $300.4 million and $596.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 from $332.8 million and $646.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Expenses decreased in 2019 largely driven by lower acquisition- and integration- related expenses relative to the prior year and an $8.3 million expense reversal recognized in second quarter 2019 related to the settlement of litigation matters. Additionally, a strategic focus on expense optimization contributed to broad-based cost savings across multiple expense categories. These decreases were partially offset by costs associated with asset impairments, professional fees, and severance and other employee costs related to FHN’s restructuring and rebranding initiatives recognized in 2019. Higher advertising costs recognized in first quarter 2019 also offset a portion of the overall expense decline for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Asset quality trends were stable in second quarter 2019 reflecting continued underwriting discipline and ongoing portfolio management, strong economic conditions, and credit risk management. The allowance for loan losses increased $12.3 million from December 31, 2018, primarily driven by organic loan growth and specific reserves for three commercial credits (one of which was partially charged-off in second quarter 2019), somewhat offset by continued run-off of non-strategic loan balances. Net charge-offs as a percentage of loans was .07 percent for second quarter 2019 and 30+ day delinquencies declined 22 percent compared to year-end.

Return on average common equity (“ROCE”) and ROTCE were 9.79 percent and 15.12 percent, respectively, in second quarter 2019 up from 7.86 percent and 12.63 percent, respectively, in second quarter 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, ROCE and ROTCE were 9.45 percent and 14.66 percent, respectively, compared to 8.32 percent and 13.34 percent, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Return on average assets (“ROA”) improved to 1.11 percent and 1.07 percent for the three and six months ended June 20, 2019 from .86 percent and .91 percent in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1, Total Capital, and Leverage ratios were 9.25 percent, 10.24 percent, 11.34 percent, and 9.05 percent, respectively, in second quarter 2019 compared to 9.77 percent, 10.80 percent, 11.94 percent and 9.09

percent, respectively, in fourth quarter 2018. Average assets increased to $41.2 billion in second quarter 2019 from $40.2 billion in second quarter 2018. Average loans and average deposits also increased 5 percent and 4 percent, respectively, to $28.7 billion and $32.0 billion in second quarter 2019 from second quarter 2018. For the first half of 2019, average assets increased to $41.1 billion from $40.3 billion in the prior year, with average loans and average deposits increasing 3 percent and 6 percent, respectively, to $28.0 billion and $32.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $27.2 billion and $30.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Period-end Shareholders’ equity increased to $4.9 billion in second quarter 2019 from $4.8 billion in fourth quarter 2018 and $4.5 billion in second quarter 2018. Average Shareholders’ equity increased to $4.9 billion and $4.8 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 from $4.6 billion in the prior year.

BUSINESS LINE REVIEW

Regional Banking

Pre-tax income within the regional banking segment was $167.8 million in second quarter 2019, down from $172.1 million in second quarter 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the regional banking pre-tax income was $313.8 million compared to $337.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in pre-tax income was primarily driven by an increase in loan loss provision expense and a decrease in revenues, somewhat offset by lower expenses.

Total revenue decreased 2 percent to $378.8 million in second quarter 2019 from $386.7 million in second quarter 2018, driven by a decrease in NII. The decline in NII was primarily attributable to higher deposits rates, somewhat mitigated by balance sheet growth and higher loan accretion compared to second quarter 2018. Noninterest income increased to $81.5 million in second quarter 2019 from $80.8 million in second quarter 2018. The increase in noninterest income was due in large part to increases in fees from derivative sales, other service charges, and ATM interchange. The increase in ATM interchange fees was primarily driven by the conversion of CBF debit cards to Visa in first quarter 2019. These increases were somewhat offset by lower fees from deposit transactions and cash management activities in second quarter largely due to excess fees received from Capital Bank debit card transactions in second quarter 2018, as well as lower cash management and NSF fee income driven by changes in consumer behavior.

Provision expense was $17.8 million and $4.6 million in second quarter 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by commercial loan growth and specific reserves for two commercial credits, one of which was a partial charge-off in second quarter 2019.

Noninterest expense was $193.3 million in second quarter 2019, down from $210.0 million in second quarter 2018. The decrease in expense was primarily driven by broad-based cost savings across multiple expense categories driven by strategic focus on expense optimization. Additionally, FDIC premium expense decreased in second quarter 2019 primarily due to the end of an FDIC assessment surcharge starting with fourth quarter 2018.

Total revenue decreased 3 percent to $737.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $759.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, driven by decreases in NII and noninterest income. NII decreased 2 percent to $583.2 million in the first half of 2019 from $598.1 million in the first half of 2018, driven by the same factors that impacted the quarterly decline in NII mentioned above. Noninterest income decreased 4 percent, or $6.6 million, to $154.5 million in the first half of 2019 from $161.1 million in the first half of 2018. The decline in noninterest income was largely driven by an $8.6 million decrease in deposit transactions and cash management fee income somewhat offset by increases in fees from derivative sales, other service charges, and ATM interchange. The decrease in deposit transactions and cash management fee income was largely the result of excess fees received from Capital Bank debit card transactions in the first half of 2018, as well as lower cash management and NSF fee income driven by changes in consumer behavior

Provision expense was $31.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in provision expense for the year-to-date period was also primarily the result of increased reserves due to commercial loan growth, the two credits previously mentioned, and a relationship that was downgraded in first quarter 2019.

Noninterest expense was $392.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, down 5 percent from $412.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in expense for the first half of 2019 was driven by the same factors impacting the quarterly expense decline.

Fixed Income

Pre-tax income in the fixed income segment was $16.0 million in second quarter 2019, up from $.6 million in second quarter 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 the pre-tax income within the fixed income segment increased to $26.4 million from $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The improvement in results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 relative to the same periods of 2018 was the result of higher noninterest income, somewhat offset by an increase in expenses and lower NII.

Noninterest income increased 71 percent, or $27.3 million, to $65.6 million in second quarter 2019 from $38.4 million in second quarter 2018. Fixed income product revenue increased 82 percent to $54.5 million in second quarter 2019 from $29.9 million in second quarter 2018, as average daily revenue (“ADR”) increased to $866 thousand in second quarter 2019 from $468 thousand in second quarter 2018. The increase in ADR was largely due to a decline in interest rates and the revised outlook for rates to be flat/down in 2019, which resulted in growth across all trading desks. Other product revenue increased to $11.1 million in second quarter 2019 from $8.4 million in the prior year, driven by higher fees from derivative and loan sales, as well as an increase in fees for portfolio advisory services. NII was $6.2 million and $9.2 million in second quarter 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decline in NII was due in large part to lower spreads on inventory positions compared to the prior year. Noninterest expense increased 19 percent, or $8.8 million, to $55.8 million in second quarter 2019, primarily due to higher variable compensation associated with the increase in fixed income product revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, noninterest income increased $35.5 million to $119.4 million from $84.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Fixed income product revenue increased to $99.0 million for the first half of 2019 from $68.0 million in the prior year. Other product revenue was $20.4 million and $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The same factors impacting the quarterly increases in noninterest income also drove the increase for the year-to-date period. NII was $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, down from $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Noninterest expense increased 11 percent, or $10.2 million, to $106.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $96.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher variable compensation associated with the increase in fixed income product revenue for the first half of 2019 compared to the prior year.

Corporate

The pre-tax loss for the corporate segment was $53.1 million and $76.3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $87.9 million and $136.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net interest expense was $7.0 million and $17.2 million in second quarter 2019 and 2018, respectiv ely. Net interest expense was favorably impacted by a reduction of market-indexed deposits in second quarter 2019 due to strong lower cost deposit growth in Regional Banking. Noninterest income (including securities gain/losses) increased 8 percent to $9.4 million in second quarter 2019 from $8.7 million in second quarter 2018, primarily driven by higher deferred compensation income driven by equity market valuations in second quarter 2019, somewhat offset by a decline in dividend income. Deferred compensation income fluctuates with changes in the market value of the underlying investments and is mirrored by changes in deferred compensation expense, which is included in personnel expense.

Noninterest expense decreased 18 percent or $12.4 million from $67.9 million in second quarter 2018 to $55.5 million in second quarter 2019. The decrease in expense for second quarter 2019 was primarily driven by a $34.5 million decrease in acquisition and integration-related costs. Additionally, the recognition of $4.1 million of valuation adjustments associated with derivatives related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares in second quarter 2018 (a similar adjustment was not recognized in 2019) and broad-based cost savings driven by strategic-focus on expense optimization also favorably impacted expense in second quarter 2019. These expense declines were partially offset by $18.7 million of restructuring costs associated with efficiency initiatives and $9.1 million of rebranding expenses recognized in second quarter 2019.

Net interest expense was $14.8 million and $33.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net interest expense was favorably impacted in the first half of 2019 by a reduction of market-indexed deposits due to strong lower cost deposit growth in Regional Banking. Noninterest income (including securities gain/losses) increased to $22.8 million in the first half of 2019 from $18.1 million in the first half of 2018. The increase in noninterest income for the year-to-date period was also driven by the same factors impacting the quarterly increase in noninterest income. In the first half of 2018, noninterest income was positively impacted by a $3.3 million gain on the sale of a building.

Noninterest expense decreased to $95.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $121.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in expense for the first half of 2019 was primarily driven by a $60.2 million decrease in acquisition and integration-related costs relative to the prior year, partially offset by $30.8 million of restructuring costs associated with efficiency initiatives and $9.1 million in rebranding expenses recognized in the first half of 2019. Additionally, the recognition of the $4.1 million valuation adjustments associated with derivatives related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares in 2018 mentioned above and broad-based cost savings driven by strategic-focus on expense optimization also favorably impacted expense in the first half of 2019. Expenses were negatively impacted during the first half of 2019 by higher advertising expense due in large part to promotional branding campaigns and targeted marketing in new markets.

Non-Strategic

Pre-tax income in the non-strategic segment increased $8.2 million to $17.5 million in second quarter 2019 from $9.3 million in second quarter 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the non-strategic segment had a pre-tax income of $26.4 million up from $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in results for both periods was driven by a decrease in expenses and an increase in noninterest income, which more than offset a decline in NII.

Total revenue was $8.6 million in second quarter 2019 down from $12.6 million in second quarter 2018. NII decreased $5.9 million to $7.1 million in second quarter 2019 from $13.0 million in second quarter 2018, primarily due to continued run-off of the loan portfolios. Noninterest income increased from negative $.3 million in second quarter 2018 to $1.5 million in second quarter 2019, primarily driven by a $1.1 million gain on the sale and payoff of TRUPS loans.

The provision for loan losses within the non-strategic segment was a provision credit of $4.8 million in second quarter 2019 compared to a provision credit of $4.6 million in the prior year. Overall, the non-strategic segment continued to reflect stable performance combined with lower loan balances. Reserve balances declined by $5.5 million from December 31, 2018, to $21.9 million as of June 30, 2019. Losses remain low as the non-strategic segment had net recoveries of $2.7 million in second quarter 2019 compared to net recoveries of $2.6 million a year ago.

Noninterest expense was a net expense reversal of $4.1 million in second quarter 2019 compared to $7.9 million of expense in second quarter 2018. The decrease in expense was largely the result of an $8.3 million pre-tax expense reversal related to the settlement of litigation matters. Additionally, lower legal fees also contributed to the decrease in noninterest expense compared to second quarter 2018.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, total revenue was $18.5 million down from $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. NII decreased 46 percent to $16.2 million in the first six months of 2019, primarily due to continued run-off of the loan portfolios. Noninterest income was $2.4 million and $.5 million for the first half of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in non-interest income was due to the sale and payoff of the TRUPS loans previously mentioned.

The provision for loan losses within the non-strategic segment was a provision credit of $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a provision credit of $10.0 million in the prior year. The same factors impacting the quarterly change in loan loss provisioning levels also drove the change for the year-to-date period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, noninterest expense decreased to $1.3 million from $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in expense for the year-to-date period was driven by the same factors impacting the quarterly expense decrease.

INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

Total consolidated revenue increased 5 percent to $461.6 million in second quarter 2019 from $438.5 million in second quarter 2018, driven by an increase in noninterest income, somewhat offset by a decrease in NII. Total expenses decreased 10 percent to $300.4 million in second quarter 2019 from $332.8 million in second quarter 2018.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, total revenue was $897.2 million, up 2 percent from $875.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in total revenue for the first half of 2019 was also driven by an increase in noninterest income, somewhat offset by a decrease in NII. Total expenses decreased 8 percent to $596.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $646.0 million in the prior year.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $303.6 million in second quarter 2019, down from $310.9 million in second quarter 2018. The decline in NII was primarily attributable to higher deposit rates, somewhat mitigated by balance sheet growth and higher loan accretion in second quarter 2019 relative to the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, NII was $598.1 million compared to $612.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The same factors that contributed to the second quarter 2019 decrease in NII also drove the decrease in NII for the year-to-date period of 2019 relative to the prior year. Average earning assets were $36.7 billion and $36.5 billion, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and $35.6 billion and $35.7 billion, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in average earning assets for both second quarter and year-to-date 2019 was primarily driven by loan growth and an increase in interest-bearing cash, somewhat offset by a smaller available-for-sale ("AFS") securities portfolio and declines in other earning assets in 2019 relative to the prior year.

For purposes of computing yields and the net interest margin, FHN adjusts net interest income to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent pre-tax basis which provides comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The consolidated net interest margin was 3.34 percent in second quarter 2019 down 19 basis points from 3.53 percent in second quarter 2018. The net interest spread was 2.94 percent in second quarter 2019, down 31 basis points from 3.25 percent in second quarter 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the net interest margin was 3.32 percent, down 16 basis points from 3.48 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decline in NIM for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily the result of the negative impact of higher market interest rates on deposits, somewhat mitigated by balance sheet growth and higher loan accretion. For year-to-date 2019 an increase in average excess cash at the Fed also negatively impacted NIM relative to the prior year.

FHN’s net interest margin is primarily impacted by its balance sheet mix including the levels of fixed and floating rate loans, rate sensitive and non-rate sensitive liabilities, cash levels, trading inventory levels as well as loan fees and cash basis income. For the remainder of 2019, NIM will also depend on changes to the yield curve, changes to the Fed Funds rate, loan accretion levels, and the competitive pricing environment for core deposits.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings that management determines to be necessary to maintain the ALLL at a sufficient level reflecting management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Provision expense was $13.0 million in second quarter 2019 compared to zero in second quarter 2018. The increase in provision expense was primarily driven by increased reserves due to commercial loan growth and specific reserves for two commercial credits, one of which was partially charged off in second quarter 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, FHN recognized provision expense of $22.0 million compared to a provision credit of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in provision expense for the year-to-date period was also primarily the result of increased reserves due to commercial loan growth, the two credits previously mentioned, and a relationship that was downgraded in first quarter 2019. During 2019, FHN’s asset quality metrics remained strong. In second quarter 2019, net charge-offs as a percentage of loans was .07 percent. For additional information about the provision for loan losses, refer to the Regional Banking and Non-Strategic sections of the Business Line Review section in this MD&A. For additional information about general asset quality trends, refer to the Asset Quality section in this MD&A.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income (including securities gains/(losses)) was $158.0 million in second quarter 2019 and represented 34 percent of total revenue compared to $127.5 million in second quarter 2018 and 29 percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, noninterest income was $299.0 million and $263.5 million, respectively, representing 33 percent and 30 percent of total revenue. The increase in noninterest income in both periods was primarily driven by higher fixed income revenue relative to 2018.

Fixed Income Noninterest Income

Fixed income noninterest income was $66.4 million and $120.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, up 76 percent and 44 percent from $37.7 million and $83.2 million for the three and six months June 30, 2018. The increase for both periods of 2019 was due to a decline in interest rates and the revised outlook for rates to be flat/down in 2019, which resulted in an increase in ADR and growth across all trading desks. Revenue from other products increased from $7.8 million and $15.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 to $11.9 million and $21.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily driven by higher fees from derivative and loan sales, as well as an increase in fees for portfolio advisory services. Additionally, $1.1 million of gains on the sale and payoff of TRUPS loans in the non-strategic segment also favorably affected other product revenue in 2019. T he following table summarizes FHN’s fixed income noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 .

Table 2—Fixed Income Noninterest Income

( Dollars in thousands )	Three Months Ended June 30 — 2019	2018	Percent Change	Six Months Ended June 30 — 2019	2018	Percent Change
Noninterest income:
Fixed income	$ 54,533	$ 29,940	82 %	$ 99,005	$ 67,987	46 %
Other product revenue	11,881	7,757	53 %	21,158	15,216	39 %
Total fixed income noninterest income	$ 66,414	$ 37,697	76 %	$ 120,163	$ 83,203	44 %

Deposit Transactions and Cash Management

Fees from deposit transactions and cash management activities was $32.4 million and $64.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, down 10 percent and 11 percent, respectively from $36.1 million and $72.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in both periods is largely due to excess fees received from Capital Bank debit card transactions in the first half of 2018, as well as lower cash management and NSF fee income driven by changes in consumer behavior.

Other Noninterest Income

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

Revenue from all other income and commissions increased 36 percent, or $6.8 million, to $25.7 million in second quarter 2019 from $18.9 million in second quarter 2018. The increase in all other income and commissions in second quarter 2019 was partially due to increases in fees from derivative sales, other service charges, and ATM interchange. The increase in ATM interchange fees was largely driven by the conversion of CBF debit cards to Visa in first quarter 2019. An increase in deferred compensation income in second quarter 2019 driven by equity market valuations relative to the prior year also contributed to the increase in all other income and commissions. Deferred compensation income fluctuates with changes in the market value of the underlying investments and is mirrored by changes in deferred compensation expense, which is included in personnel expense. The second quarter 2019 increase was partially offset by a decrease in dividend income compared to the prior year.

Revenue from all other income and commissions increased 20 percent, or $8.5 million, to $50.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $41.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in all other income and commissions in the first half of 2019 was largely due to a $6.0 million increase in deferred compensation income driven by changes in equity market valuations. Additionally, increases in fees from derivative sales within the Regional Banking segment and other service charges also contributed to the increase in all other income and commissions for the first half of 2019. These increases were somewhat offset by a decrease in dividend income in 2019. In the first half of 2018, all other income and commissions was positively impacted by a $3.3 million gain on the sale of a building

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expense decreased 10 percent or $32.4 million to $300.4 million in second quarter 2019 from $332.8 million in second quarter 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, total noninterest expense decreased 8 percent or $49.5 million to $596.5 million from $646.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in noninterest expense for both periods of 2019 was largely driven by lower acquisition-and integration-related expenses and the recognition of an $8.3 million expense reversal related to the settlement of legal matter, somewhat offset by increases in restructuring and rebranding

expenses compared to prior year. Additionally, a company-wide focus on efficiency initiatives and expense savings also contributed to the decrease in noninterest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Employee Compensation, Incentives, and Benefits

Employee compensation, incentives, and benefits (personnel expense), the largest component of noninterest expense, increased 3 percent in second quarter 2019 to $171.6 million from $165.9 million in second quarter 2018. The increase in personnel expense in second quarter 2019 was primarily driven by an increase in variable compensation associated with higher fixed income sales revenue, severance-related costs associated with restructuring, repositioning, and efficiency initiatives recognized in second quarter 2019 and an increase in deferred compensation expense driven by equity market valuations. These expense increases were somewhat offset by a $2.4 million decrease in acquisition- and integration-related expenses as compared to second quarter 2018 and a reduction in headcount relative to the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, personnel expense was $349.6 million, up 4 percent from $337.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The factors that contributed to the quarterly increase in personnel expense also drove the increase in personnel expense for the first half of 2019.

Operations Services

Operations services expense decreased 20 percent to $11.7 million in second quarter 2019 from $14.7 million in second quarter 2018. For the first half of 2019, operations services expense decreased 23 percent to $23.2 million from $30.2 million in the first half of 2018. The decrease in both periods was primarily driven by the reduction of third-party vendors following the completion of integration of the CBF merger, as well as lower acquisition- and integration-related expenses primarily related to the CBF acquisition.

Professional Fees

Professional fees decreased to $11.3 million and $23.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 from $15.4 million and $27.7 million for the same periods of 2018. The decrease in professional fees was primarily driven by lower acquisition- and integration-related expense primarily associated with the CBF acquisition, somewhat offset by restructuring costs associated with the identification of efficiency opportunities within the organization and rebranding expenses recognized in 2019.

Equipment rentals, depreciation, and maintenance

Equipment rentals, depreciation, and maintenance expense decreased 22 percent and 17 percent to $8.4 million and $17.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, from $10.7 million and $20.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in equipment rentals, depreciation, and maintenance expense in both periods was due in large part to branch optimization, consolidation efforts and planned merger synergies. Additionally, expense levels in 2018 included higher acquisition- and integration-related expenses primarily related to the CBF acquisition.

Legal fees

Legal fees increased to $6.5 million and $9.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, from $2.8 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Legal fees fluctuate primarily based on the status, timing, type, and composition of cases or other projects.

Advertising and Public Relations

Expenses associated with advertising and public relations were $5.6 million and $5.1 million in second quarter 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, advertising and public relations expense was $12.8 million, up $4.1 million from $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the year-to-date period 2019, FHN recognized higher advertising expense due in large part to promotional branding campaigns and targeted marketing in new markets.

FDIC Premium Expense

FDIC premium expense decreased 57 percent and 54 percent from $10.0 million and $18.6 million for the three and six June 30 2018 to $4.2 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months June 30, 2019. The decrease in FDIC premium expense is primarily due to the end of an FDIC assessment surcharge starting with fourth quarter 2018.

Contract Employment and Outsourcing

Expenses associated with contract employment and outsourcing decreased to $3.1 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 from $5.9 million and $10.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by the completion of acquisition- and integration- related projects primarily associated with the CBF acquisition.

Other Noninterest Expense

Other expense includes travel and entertainment expenses, other insurance and tax expense, customer relations expenses, supplies, costs associated with employee training and dues, miscellaneous loan costs, expenses associated with the non-service components of net periodic pension and post-retirement cost, tax credit investments expense, expenses associated with OREO, losses from litigation and regulatory matters, and various other expenses.

All other expenses decreased 43 percent to $29.2 million in second quarter 2019 from $51.0 million in second quarter 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a $23.1 million decrease in acquisition- and integration-related expenses and an $8.3 million expense reversal related to the settlement of litigation matters within the Non-Strategic segment. In second quarter 2018, FHN recognized $4.1 million of valuation adjustments associated with derivatives related to prior sales of Visa Class B shares; a similar adjustment was not recognized in 2019. Additionally, broad-based cost savings driven by strategic-focus on expense optimization in 2019 also contributed to the decrease in other noninterest expense. In second quarter 2019, FHN recognized $19.6 million of costs associated with FHN’s restructuring and rebranding initiatives primarily related to asset impairments, offsetting a portion of the year-over-year expense decline.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, all other expenses decreased 43 percent to $49.0 million from $86.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a $38.8 million decrease in acquisition- and integration-related expenses and a $10.4 million decline in loss accruals related to legal matters (largely driven by the expense reversal previously mentioned). To a lesser extent, the Visa derivative valuation adjustment recognized in 2018 previously mentioned contributed to the expense decline for the six months ended June 30, 2019 relative to the prior year. FHN’s strategic focus on expense optimization also contributed to the overall decline in other noninterest expense during the first half of 2019. Offsetting a portion of the expense decline, costs associated with restructuring and rebranding initiatives were $20.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The following table provides detail regarding FHN’s other expense.

INCOME TAXES

F HN recorded an income tax provision of $34.5 million in second quarter 2019 , compared to $19.7 million in second quarter 2018 . For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, FHN recorded an income tax provision of $61.5 million and $49.6 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately 23 percent and 22 percent compared to 19 percent and 22 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 .

The Company’s effective tax rate is favorably affected by recurring items such as bank-owned life insurance, tax-exempt income, and credits and other tax benefits from affordable housing investments. The effective rate is unfavorably affected by the non-deductibility of a portion of the Company's FDIC premium and executive compensation expenses. The Company’s effective tax rate also may be affected by items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period to period, such as changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and changes in unrecognized tax benefits.

A deferred tax asset (“DTA”) or deferred tax liability (“DTL”) is recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax consequence is calculated by applying enacted statutory tax rates, applicable to future years, to these temporary differences. As of June 30, 2019 , FHN’s gross DTA (net of a valuation allowance) and gross DTL were $243.6 million and $167.0 million, respectively, resulting in a net DTA of $76.6 million at June 30, 2019 , compared with a net DTA of $127.9 million at December 31, 2018.

As of June 30, 2019 , FHN had deferred tax asset balances related to federal and state income tax carryforwards of $43.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, which will expire at various dates.

Other than a small valuation allowance against state NOLs, FHN believes that it will be able to realize the value of its DTA and that no valuation allowance is needed. FHN monitors its DTA and the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis.

RESTRUCTURING, REPOSITIONING, AND EFFICIENCY INITIATIVES

Beginning in first quarter 2019, FHN initiated a company-wide review of business practices with the goal of optimizing its expense base to improve profitability and create capacity to reinvest savings into technology and revenue production activities. The net charges for restructuring, repositioning, and efficiency initiatives were $18.7 million and $30.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily associated with asset impairments, severance and other employee costs, and professional fees. Due to the broad nature of the actions being taken, many components of expense are expected to benefit from the current efficiency initiatives. See Note 18 - Restructuring, Repositioning, and Efficiency for additional information.

STATEMENT OF CONDITION REVIEW

Total period-end assets were $42.2 billion on June 30, 2019 , up from $40.8 billion on December 31, 2018. The increase in period-end assets was driven by strong loan growth and an increase in lease assets, somewhat offset by decreases in other earning assets (primarily interest-bearing cash), loans held-for-sale (“HFS”), and AFS securities. Effective January 1, 2019, FHN adopted ASU 2016-02, “ Leases ” and all related ASUs and began recording right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets and lease liabilities in Other assets and Other liabilities which contributed to the increase in period-end and average assets and labilities in the first half of 2019 relative to the prior year. Average assets increased 2 percent from $40.3 billion in fourth quarter 2018 to $41.2 billion in second quarter 2019. The increase in average assets was also largely driven by net increases in loan portfolios and an increase in ROU lease assets, partially offset by decreases in other earning assets and loans HFS.

Total period-end liabilities were $37.2 billion on June 30, 2019 , a 3 percent increase from $36.0 billion on December 31, 2018. The net increase in period-end liabilities was primarily due to increases in short-term borrowings and lease liabilities, somewhat offset by a decrease in deposits. In second quarter 2019 average liabilities increased to $36.4 billion from $35.6 billion in fourth quarter 2018. The increase in average liabilities was also driven by higher balances of short-term borrowings and lease liabilities, coupled with an increase in deposits.

EARNING ASSETS

Earning assets consist of loans, investment securities, other earning assets such as trading securities, interest-bearing cash, and loans HFS. Average earning assets increased 2 percent and 3 percent to $36.7 billion in second quarter 2019 from $35.8 billion

and $35.6 billion, respectively, in fourth quarter 2018 and second quarter 2018. A more detailed discussion of the major line items follows.

Loans

Period-end loans increased 8 percent to $29.7 billion as of June 30, 2019 from $27.5 billion on December 31, 2018 and increased 7 percent from $27.7 billion as of June 30, 2018 . Average loans for second quarter 2019 increased to $28.7 billion from $27.2 billion in fourth quarter 2018 and $27.3 billion in second quarter 2018. The increase in period-end and average loan balances compared to both prior periods was primarily due to net loan growth within the Regional Bank, somewhat offset by run-off within the non-strategic portfolios.

Table 5—Average Loans

(Dollars in thousands)	Quarter Ended June 30, 2019 — Amount	Percent of total	Quarter Ended December 31, 2018 — Amount	Percent of total	Growth Rate
Commercial:

Total loans, net of unearned income	$ 28,672,161	100 %	$ 27,154,643	100 %	6	%

(a) Balance as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , includes $14.2 million and $16.7 million of restricted and secured real estate loans, respectively.

C&I loans are the largest component of the loan portfolio comprising 63 percent of total loans in second quarter 2019 and 59 percent in fourth quarter 2018. C&I loans increased 13 percent, or $2.0 billion, from fourth quarter 2018 largely driven by strong loan growth within the mortgage warehouse lending and commercial portfolios of Regional Banking. Growth in other specialty lending areas within Regional Banking, such as wealth, energy, and healthcare also meaningfully contributed to the overall growth in average C&I loans in second quarter 2019 compared to fourth quarter 2018. Commercial real estate loans experienced a net decrease of 6 percent to $3.9 billion in second quarter 2019 as loan runoff outpaced loan growth.

Average consumer loans declined 3 percent, or $.2 billion, from fourth quarter 2018 to $6.8 billion in second quarter 2019, driven by the continued wind-down of portfolios within the Non-strategic segment.

Investment Securities

FHN’s investment portfolio consists principally of debt securities including government agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and government agency issued collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), substantially all of which are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”). FHN utilizes the securities portfolio as a source of income, liquidity and collateral for repurchase agreements, for public funds, and as a tool for managing risk of interest rate movements. Period-end investment securities were $4.4 billion on June 30, 2019 compared to $4.6 billion on December 31, 2018. Average investment securities were $4.6 billion in second quarter 2019 and fourth quarter 2018, representing 12 percent and 13 percent of average earning assets in second quarter 2019 and fourth quarter 2018, respectively. FHN manages the size and mix of the investment portfolio to assist in asset liability management, provide liquidity, and optimize risk adjusted returns.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans HFS consists of small business, other consumer loans, the mortgage warehouse, USDA, student, and home equity loans. On June 30, 2019 loans HFS were $447.1 million compared to $679.1 million on December 31, 2018. The average balance of loans HFS decreased to $606.7 million in second quarter 2019 from $714.4 million in fourth quarter 2018. The decrease in period-end and average loans HFS was primarily driven by a decrease in small business loans, partially offset by an increase in

USDA loans. Additionally, as previously mentioned, the sale of a subsidiary resulted in the removal of approximately $25 million UPB of subprime consumer loans which contributed to the decrease in both period-end and average balances.

Other Earning Assets

Other earning assets include trading securities, securities purchased under agreements to resell ("asset repos"), federal funds sold (“FFS”), and interest-bearing deposits with the Fed and other financial institutions. Other earning assets averaged $2.9 billion in second quarter 2019, down from $3.4 billion in fourth quarter 2018. The decrease in other earning assets was primarily driven by decreases in interest bearing cash and fixed income trading inventory relative to fourth quarter 2018. Fixed income's trading inventory fluctuates daily based on customer demand. Other earning assets were $2.9 billion on June 30, 2019 compared to $3.3 billion on December 31, 2018, as lower levels of interest bearing cash and FFS were offset by an increase in fixed income trading securities and asset repos. Asset repos are used in fixed income trading activity and generally fluctuate with the level of fixed income trading liabilities (short-positions) as securities collateral from asset repo transactions are used to fulfill trades.

Non-earning assets

Period-end non-earning assets were $4.7 billion and $4.6 billion on June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase was due to the recognition of ROU assets associated with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, " Leases ," and higher levels of fixed income receivables and derivative assets, partially offset by a decrease in cash and net deferred tax assets.

Deposits

Average deposits increased to $32.0 billion during second quarter 2019 from $31.8 billion in fourth quarter 2018 and $30.7 billion in second quarter 2018. The increase in average deposits from fourth quarter 2018 and second quarter 2018 was driven by increases in commercial and consumer interest deposits primarily as a result of FHN's strategic focus on growing deposits, partially offset by lower levels of market-indexed deposits, as FHN was able to utilize the influx of commercial and consumer interest-bearing deposits (as a more efficient source of funding) to meet loan demands. FHN's mix of interest-bearing deposits and noninterest-bearing deposits remained relatively consistent between periods.

Period-end deposits were $32.3 billion on June 30, 2019, down 1 percent from $32.7 billion on December 31, 2018, and up 4 percent from $31.0 billion on June 30, 2018. The decrease in deposits from December 31, 2018 was primarily due to a decrease in market-indexed deposits and non-interest bearing deposits which more than offset the influx of commercial and consumer interest deposits. On a period-end basis, deposits increased from June 30, 2018 driven by increases in commercial and consumer interest deposits, somewhat offset by a decline in market-indexed deposits and non-interest bearing deposits. Th e following table summarizes FHN's average deposits for quarters-ended June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(a) Market-indexed deposits are tied to an index not administered by FHN and are comprised of insured network deposits, correspondent banking deposits, and trust/sweep deposits.

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings (federal funds purchased (“FFP”), securities sold under agreements to repurchase, trading liabilities, and other short-term borrowings) averaged $2.4 billion in second quarter 2019, up 31 percent from $1.8 billion in fourth quarter 2018. As noted in the table below, the increase in short-term borrowings between second quarter 2019 and fourth quarter 2018 was primarily due to increases in other-short-term borrowings and FFP. Other 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. Period-end short-term borrowings increased to $2.9 billion on June 30, 2019 from $1.5 billion on December 31, 2018. The increase in short-term borrowings on a period-end basis was primarily driven by increases in other short-term borrowings, FFP and trading liabilities. Trading liabilities fluctuates based on expectations of customer demand.

NM-Not meaningful

Term Borrowings

Term borrowings include senior and subordinated borrowings with original maturities greater than one year. Average and period-end term borrowings were $1.2 billion on June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Other Liabilities

Period-end other liabilities were $.9 billion on June 30, 2019, up from $.7 billion on December 31, 2018, primarily due to the recognition of lease liabilities associated with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, " Leases " and an increase in fixed income payables, somewhat offset by a decrease in derivative liabilities.

CAPITAL

Management’s objectives are to provide capital sufficient to cover the r isks inherent in FHN’s businesses, to maintain excess capital to well-capitalized standards, and to assure ready access to the capital markets. Period-end equity increased to $4.9 billion on June 30 , 2019 from $4.8 billion on December 31, 2018. Average equity increased to $4.9 billion in second quarter 2019 from $4.7 billion in fourth quarter 2018. The increase in period-end and average equity was primarily due to net income recognized since fourth quarter 2018, somewhat offset by common and preferred dividends paid and share repurchases (mentioned below). A decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") also contributed to the increase in period-end and average equity and was largely the result of a decrease in unrealized losses associated with AFS debt securities.

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 6.5 percent, 8 percent, 10 percent, and 5 percent, respectively. Furthermore, beginning January 1, 2019, 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 June 30, 2019 , both FHN and FTBNA had sufficient capital to qualify as well-capitalized institutions and to meet the capital conservation buffer requirement. For both FHN and FTBNA, the risk-based regulatory capital ratios decreased in second quarter 2019 relative to fourth quarter 2018 primarily due to increased risk-weighted assets driven by loan growth which was partially offset by the impact of net income less dividends and share repurchases during the first half of 2019. Also, the Tier 1 leverage ratio declined for both FHNC and FTBNA as average assets for leverage in the second quarter 2019 increased relative to fourth quarter 2018. During the remainder of 2019, capital ratios are expected to remain above well capitalized standards plus the required capital conservation buffer.

Common Stock Purchase Programs

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. Two common stock purchase programs currently authorized are discussed below. FHN’s board has not authorized a preferred stock purchase program.

Table 9a—Issuer Purchases of Common Stock - General Authority

On January 23, 2018, FHN announced a $250 million share purchase authority with an expiration date of January 31, 2020. On January 29, 2019, FHN announced a $250 million increase in that authority along with an extension of the expiration date to January 31, 2021. Purchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions and are subject to market conditions, accumulation of excess equity, prudent capital management, and legal and regulatory restrictions. As of June 30, 2019, $201.1 million in purchases had been made under this authority at an average price per share of $15.00, $14.98 excluding commissions.

Table 9b—Issuer Purchase of Common Stock - Compensation Authority

A consolidated compensation plan share purchase program was announced on August 6, 2004. This program consolidated into a single share purchase program all of the previously authorized compensation plan share programs as well as the renewal of the authorization to purchase shares for use in connection with two compensation plans for which the share purchase authority had expired. The total amount authorized under this consolidated compensation plan share purchase program, inclusive of a program amendment on April 24, 2006, is 29.6 million shares calculated before adjusting for stock dividends distributed through January 1, 2011. The authorization has been reduced for that portion which relates to compensation plans for which no options remain outstanding. The shares may be purchased over the option exercise period of the various compensation plans on or before December 31, 2023. Purchases may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions and are subject to market conditions, accumulation of excess equity, prudent capital management, and legal and regulatory restrictions. As of June 30, 2019, the maximum number of shares that may be purchased under the program was 24.9 million shares. Management currently does not anticipate purchasing a material number of shares under this authority during 2019.

ASSET QUALITY

Loan 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 are composed of commercial, financial, and industrial (“C&I”) and commercial real estate (“CRE”). Consumer loans are composed of consumer real estate; permanent mortgage; and credit card and other. FHN has a concentration of residential real estate loans (21 percent of total loans), the majority of which is in the consumer real estate portfolio (20 percent of t otal loans). Industry concentrations are discussed under the heading C&I below.

Consolidated key asset quality metrics for each of these portfolios can be fou nd in Table 17 – Asset Q uality by Portfolio. Credit underwriting guidelines are outlined in Exhibit 13 to FHN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, in the Loan Portfolio Composition discussion in the Asset Quality Section beginning on page 28 and continuing to page 47. FHN’s credit underwriting guidelines and loan product offerings as of June 30, 2019 , are generally consistent with those reported and disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

COMMERCIAL LOAN PORTFOLIOS

C&I

The C&I portfolio was $19.1 billion on June 30, 2019 , and is comprised of loans used for general business purposes. Typical products include working capital lines of credit, term loan financing of owner-occupied real estate and fixed assets, and trade credit enhancement through letters of cr edit. The largest geographical concentrations of balances as of June 30, 2019, are in Tennessee (32 percent), North Carolina (10 percent), California (7 percent), Texas (7 percent), Florida (6 percent), Georgia (4 percent), South Carolina (3 percent), and Virginia (3 percent), with no other state representing more than 3 percent of the portfolio.

The following table provides the composition of the C&I portfolio by industry as of June 30, 2019 , and December 31, 2018. For purposes of this disclosure, industries are determined based on the North American Industry Classification System (“NAICS”) industry codes used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the collection, analysis, and publication of statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.

Industry Concentrations

Loan concentrations are considered to exist for a financial institution when there are loans to numerous borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditi ons. 34 percent of FHN’s C&I portfolio (Finance and insurance plus Loans to mortgage companies) could be affected by items that uniquely impact the financial services in dustry. Except “Finance and Insurance” and “Loans to Mortgage Companies”, as discussed below, on June 30, 2019 , FHN did not have any other concentrations of C&I loans in any single industry of 10 percent or more of total loans.

Loans to Mortgage Companies

The balance of loans to mortgage companie s was 20 perc ent of the C&I portfolio as of June 30, 2019 , 12 percent as of December 31, 2018 and 14 percent as of June 30, 2018 , and includes balances related to both home purchase and refinance activity. This portfolio class, which generally fluctuates with mortgage rates and seasonal factors, includes commercial lines of credit to qualified mortgage companies primarily for the temporary warehousing of eligible mortgage loans prior to the borrower’s sale of those mortgage loans to third party investors. Generally, lending to mortgage lenders increases when there is a decline in mortgage rates and decreases when rates rise. In second quarter 2019, 70 percent of the loans funded were home purchases and 30 percent were refinance transactions. During second quarter 2019, FHN recorded a $4.0 million partial charge-off on one mortgage warehouse relationship and classified the remaining UPB as nonaccrual.

Finance and Insurance

The finance and insurance component represent s 14 p ercent of the C&I portfolio as of June 30, 2019 compared to 17 percent as of December 31, 2018, 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 June 30, 2019 , asset-based lending to consumer finance companies represents ap proximately $1.2 billion o f the finance and insurance component.

TRUPS lending was originally extended as a form of “bridge” financing to participants in the pooled trust preferred securitization program offered primarily to smaller banking (generally less than $15 billion in total assets) and insurance institutions through FHN’s fixed income business. Origination of TRUPS lending ceased in early 2008. Individual TRUPS are re-graded at least quarterly as part of FHN’s commercial loan review process. The terms of these loans generally include a scheduled 30 year balloon payoff and include an option to defer interest for up to 20 consecutive quarters. As of June 30, 2019 , and December 31, 2018, one TRUP relationship was on interest deferral.

During second quarter 2019, FHN sold one TRUP relationship with an unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of $16.0 million and valuation allowance of $1.0 million. In addition, FHN received a $4.1 million paydown on one TRUP relationship with a UPB of $31.0 million and valuation allowance of $.9 million. As a result of these transactions, FHN recognized a combined $1.1 million of income which is presented in the Non-Strategic segment within Fixed Income in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income. As of June 30, 2019 , the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of trust preferred loans totaled $249.5 million ($188.8 million of bank TRUPS and $60.7 million of insurance TRUPS) with the UPB of other bank-related loans totaling $321.6 million. Inclusive of a valuation allowance on TRUPS of $19.1 million, total reserves (ALLL plus the valuation allowance) for TRUPS and other bank-related loans were $20.2 million or 4 percent of outstanding UPB.

C&I Asset Quality Trends

Overall, the C&I portfolio trends remain stable in 2019, continuing in line with recent historical performance. The C&I ALLL increased $17.1 million from December 31, 2018, to $116.1 million as of June 30, 2019 , primarily due to loan growth combined with specific reserves related to three credits; one of which was a partial charge-off. The allowance as a percentage of period-end loans increased 1 basis point to .61 percent as of June 30, 2019 , compared to .60 percent as of year-end 2018. Nonperforming C&I loans increased $67.4 million from December 31, 2018, to $107.2 million on June 30, 2019 . The nonperforming loan (“NPL”) ratio increased to .56 percent of C&I loans as of June 30, 2019 , from .24 percent as of December 31, 2018. The increase in NPLs was primarily driven by three credits during first quarter 2019 and one credit during second quarter 2019. The 30+ delinquency ratio decreased one basis point to .05 percent as of June 30, 2019 . Second quarter 2019 experienced net charge-offs of $6.1 million compared to $8.1 million and $2.3 million of net charge-offs in fourth quarter 2018 and second quarter 2018, respectively. The following table shows C&I asset quality trends by segment.

102

Commercial Real Estate

The CRE portfolio was $3.9 billion on June 30, 2019 . The CRE portfolio includes both financings for commercial construction and nonconstruction loans. The largest geographical concentrations of balances as of June 30, 2019, are in North Carolina (30 percent), Tennessee (20 percent), Florida (14 percent), South Carolina (8 percent), Texas (7 percent), Georgia (6 percent), and Ohio (4 percent), with no other state representing more than 3 percent of the portfolio. This portfolio is segregated between the income-producing CRE class which contains loans, draws on lines and letters of credit to commercial real estate developers for the construction and mini-permanent financing of income-producing real estate, and the residential CRE class. Subcategories of income CRE consist of multi-family (26 percent), retail (20 percent), office (19 percent), industrial (14 percent), hospitality (12 percent), land/land development (1 percent), and other (8 percent).

The residential CRE class includes loans to residential builders and developers for the purpose of constructing single-family homes, condominiums, and town homes, and on a limited basis, for develo ping residential subdivisions. After the fulfillment of existing commitments, which will result in a moderate increase to loan balances, the residential CRE class will be in a wind-down state with the expectation of full runoff in the foreseeable future.

CRE Asset Quality Trends

The CRE portfolio had continued strong performance as of June 30, 2019 , with nonperforming loans down $.4 million from December 31, 2018. The allowance increased to $33.0 million as of June 30, 2019 , from $31.3 million as of December 31, 2018, driven by organic loan growth. Allowance as a percentage of loans increased 7 basis points from December 31, 2018, to .85 percent as of June 30, 2019 . Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total CRE loans remained the same at .07 percent as of June 30, 2019 compared to year-end 2018. Accruing delinquencies as a percentage of period-end loans increased to .07 percent as of June 30, 2019 , from .06 percent as of December 31, 2018. Net charge-offs were $209 thousand in second quarter 2019 compared to $153 thousand in second quarter 2018. The following table shows commercial real estate asset quality trends by segment.

CONSUMER LOAN PORTFOLIOS

Consumer Real Estate

The consumer real estate portfolio was $6.1 billion on June 30, 2019 , and is primarily composed of home equity lines and installment loans including restricted balances (loans consolidated under ASC 810). The largest geographical concentrations of balances as of June 30, 2019 , are i n Tennessee (54 percent), North Carolina (15 percent), Florida (13 percent), and California (3 percent), with no other state represen ting more than 3 percent of the portfoli o. As of June 30, 2019 , approximately 82 percent of the consumer real estate portfolio was in a first lien position. At origination, weighted average FICO score of this portfolio was 754 and refreshed FICO scores averaged 753 on June 30, 2019 . Generally, perform ance of this portfolio is affected by life events that affect borrowers’ finances, the level of unemployment, and home prices.

Home equity lines of credit (“HELOCs”) comprise $1.4 billion of the consumer real estate portfolio as of June 30, 2019 . FHN’s HELOCs typically have a 5 or 10 year draw period followed by a 10 or 20 year repayment period, respectively. During the draw period, a borrower is able to draw on the line and is only required to make interest payments. The line is automatically frozen if a borrower becomes 45 days or more past due on payments. Once the draw period has concluded, the line is closed and the borrower is required to make both principal and interest payments monthly until the loan matures. The principal payment generally is fully amortizing, but payment amounts will adjust when variable rates reset to reflect changes in the prime rate.

As of June 30, 2019 , approximately 73 pe rcent of FHN's HELOCs are in the draw period compared to approximately 72 percent as of December 31, 2018. Based on when draw periods are scheduled to end per the line agreement, it is expected that $347.6 million, or 34 percent o f HELOCs currently in the draw period, will enter the repayment period during the next 60 months. Delinquencies and charge-off rates for HELOCs that have entered the repayment period are initially higher than HELOCs still in the draw period because of the increased minimum payment requirement; however, after some seasoning, performance of these loans usually begins to stabilize. The home equity lines of the consumer real estate portfolio are being monitored closely for those nearing the end of the draw period and borrowers are initially being contacted at least 24 months before the repayment period begins to remind the customer of the terms of their agreement and to inform them of options. The following table shows the HELOCs currently in the draw period and expected timing of conversion to the repayment period.

C onsumer Real Estate Asset Quality Trends

Overall, performance of the consumer real estate portfolio remained strong in second quarter 2019. The non-strategic segment is a run-off portfolio and while the absolute dollars of delinquencies and nonaccruals as well as the 30+ accruing delinquencies ratio improved from year-end, nonperforming loans ratios deteriorated. That trend of increasing deterioration of ratios in the non-strategic segment is likely to continue and may become more skewed as the portfolio shrinks and some of the stronger borrowers payoff or refinance elsewhere. NPLs as a percentage of loans decreased 7 basis points from year-end to 1.25 percent as of June 30, 2019 . The ALLL decreased $3.6 million from December 31, 2018, to $22.9 million as of June 30, 2019 , with the majority of the decline attributable to the non-strategic segment. The allowance as a percentage of loans declined 5 basis points to .37 percent as of June 30, 2019 , compared to year-end. The balance of nonperforming loans decreased to $76.4 million on June 30, 2019 . Loans delinquent 30 or more days and still accruing declined from $46.5 million as of December 31, 2018, to $37.6 million as of June 30, 2019 . The portfolio realized net recoveries of $3.0 million in second quarter 2019 compared to net recoveries of $1.4 million in fourth quarter 2018 and net recoveries of $4.0 million in second quarter 2018. The following table shows consumer real estate asset quality trends by segment.

Permanent Mortgage

The permanent mortgage portfolio was $.2 billion on June 30, 2019 . This portfolio is primarily composed of jumbo mortgages and one-time-close (“OTC”) completed construction loans in the non-st rategic segment that were originated through legacy businesses. The corporate segment includes loans that were previously included in off-balance sheet proprietary securitization trusts. These loans were brought back into the loan portfolios at fair value through the execution of cleanup calls due to the relatively small balances left in the securitization and should continue to run-off. A ppr oximately 27 perc ent of loan balances as of June 30, 2019 , are in California, but the remainder of the portfolio is somewhat geographically diverse. Non-strategic and corporate segment run-off contributed to a majority of the $29.4 million decrease in permanent mortgage period-end balances from December 31, 2018, to June 30, 2019 .

The permanent mortgage portfolios within the non-strategic and corporate segments are run-off portfolios. As a result, asset quality metrics have become skewed as the portfolio shrinks and some of the stronger borrowers payoff or refinance elsewhere. The ALLL decreased to $8.7 million as of June 30, 2019 , from $11.0 million as of December 31, 2018. TDR reserves (which are estimates of losses for the expected life of the loan) comprise 94 percent of the ALLL for the permanent mortgage portfolio as of June 30, 2019 . Consolidated accruing delinquencies decreased $2.9 million from year-end to $4.3 million as of June 30, 2019 . Nonperforming loans decreased $3.8 million from December 31, 2018, to $17.9 million as of June 30, 2019 . The portfolio e xperienced net recoveries of $.8 million in second quarter 2019, compared to net recoveries of $.3 million in second quarter 2018. The following table shows permanent mortgage asset quality trends by segment.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management’s policy is to maintain the ALLL at a level sufficient to absorb estimated probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The total allowance for loan losses increased to $192.7 million on June 30, 2019 , from $180.4 million on December 31, 2018. The ALLL as of June 30, 2019 , reflects strong asset quality, historically low levels of net charge-offs, increasing Regional Banking loan balances, and declining Non-Strategic balances. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans, net of unearned income, decreased 1 basis point to .65 percent on June 30, 2019 , compared to December 31, 2018.

The provision for loan losses is the charge to or release of earnings necessary to maintain the ALLL at a sufficient level reflecting management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Provision expense was $13.0 million in second quarter 2019. There was no provision expense or credit recorded in second quarter 2018. Second quarter 2019 provision expense was driven by commercial loan growth combined with specific reserves related two commercial credits, one of which was a partial charge-off.

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

Consolidated Net Charge-offs

Second quarter 2019 experienced net charge-offs of $5.2 million compared to $1.7 million of net charge-offs in second quarter 2018.

The commercial portfolio experienced $6.3 million of net charge-offs in second quarter 2019 compared to $2.4 million in net charge-offs in second quarter 2018. Second quarter 2019 commercial charge-offs were driven by a $4.0 million charge-off on a mortgage warehouse loan. In addition, the consumer real estate portfolio experienced net recoveries of $3.0 million in second quarter 2019 compared to $4.0 million of net recoveries during second quarter 2018. Permanent mortgage and credit card and other experienced net charge-offs of $1.9 million in second quarter 2019 compared to $3.3 million a year ago.

Nonperforming Assets

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

Total nonperforming assets (including NPLs HFS) increased to $225.7 million on June 30, 2019 , from $175.5 million on December 31, 2018. The nonperforming assets ratio (nonperforming assets excluding NPLs HFS to total period-end loans plus OREO and other assets) increased to .74 percent as of June 30, 2019 , compared to .62 percent as of December 31, 2018. Portfolio nonperforming loans increased to $204.6 million as of June 30, 2019 , from $147.7 million as of December 31, 2018. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily driven by four credits within the C&I portfolio.

The ratio of the ALLL to NPLs in the loan portfolio was .94 times as of June 30, 2019 , compared to 1.22 times as of December 31, 2018. Certain nonperforming loans in both the commercial and consumer portfolios are deemed collateral-dependent and are charged down to an estimate of collateral value less costs to sell. Because loss content has been recognized through a partial charge-off, typically reserves are not recorded.

Table 18 provides an activity rollforward of OREO balances for June 30, 2019 and 2018. The balance of OREO, exclusive of inventory from government insured mortgages, decreased to $16.6 million as of June 30, 2019 , f rom $26.5 millio n as of

112

June 30, 2018 , driven by the sale of OREO, primarily those acquired from CBF. Moreover, property values have stabilized which also affects the balance of OREO.

Past Due Loans and Potential Problem Assets

Past due loans are loans co ntractually past due as to interest or principal payments, but which have not yet been put on nonaccrual status. Loans in the portfolio that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing were $23.0 million on June 30, 2019 , compared to $32.5 million on December 31, 2018. Loans 30 to 89 days past due decreased to $35.9 million on June 30, 2019 , from $42.7 million on December 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by the home equity portfolio.

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 the OCC for loans classified as substandard. Potential problem assets in the loan po rtfolio were $279.7 million on June 30, 2019 , $317.0 million on December 31, 2018, and $294.0 million on June 30, 2018 . The decrease in potential problem assets compared to both prior periods was due to several factors, including upgrades, a couple of credits moving to nonaccrual, and a net decrease in classified commercial loans. The current expectation of losses from potential problem assets has been included in management’s analysis for assessing the adequ acy of the allowance for loan losses.

Troubled Debt Restructuring and Loan Modifications

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

On June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, FHN had $232.6 million and $228.2 million portfolio loans classified as TDRs, respectively. For TDRs in the loan portfolio, FHN had loan loss reserves of $22.7 million and $27.7 million, or 10 percent and 12 percent of TDR balances, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Additionally, FHN had $53.6 million and $57.8 million of HFS loans classified as TDRs as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Total held-to-maturity TDRs increased by $4.4 million with the majority of the increase attributable to commercial loans.

Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) 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 percent confidence level and 1-day and 10-day time horizons. Additionally, FHN computes a Stressed VaR (“SVaR”) measure. The SVaR computation uses the same model but with model inputs reflecting historical data from a continuous 12-month period that reflects a period of significant financial stress appropriate for our trading securities portfolio.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Model Validation

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

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

There have been no significant changes to FHN's interest rate risk management practices as described under "Interest Rate Risk Management" beginning o n page 51 o f Exhibit 13 to FHN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis

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

Management uses a 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 June 30, 2019 , 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 of .8 percent, 1.5 percent, 3.0 percent, and 4.9 percent, respectively compared to base NII. 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 1.1 percent. 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 .6 percent. Rate shocks of minus 25 basis points and 50 basis points result in unfavorable NII variances of .9 percent and 3.0 percent. 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.

During the past few years, the movement of short-term interest rates higher after a prolonged period of very low interest rates has had an overall positive effect on FHN's NII and NIM. More recently however, competitive pressures have caused FHN’s deposit costs to rise faster than the long-term “through the cycle” assumptions made in its simulation model. Of the many assumptions made in its simulation model, deposit pricing and deposit mix are two that can have a meaningful impact on measured results. For example, in the analysis presented above, interest bearing deposit rates are assumed to increase by 52 basis points in the +100 basis point scenario. If interest bearing deposit costs were to increase 5 percent more than currently assumed in the +100 basis point scenario, the 3.0 percent favorable variance in NII disclosed above for that scenario would decline to a 2.5 percent favorable variance. Similarly, in each interest rate scenario, management makes assumptions about the balance sheet’s deposit mix. In the +100 basis point scenario it is assumed that an additional $750 million moves from non-interest bearing accounts to market rate accounts as compared to the migration assumed in the base case scenario. If that amount were to increase to $1 billion, the 3.0 percent favorable variance in NII disclosed above for that scenario would decline to 2.3 percent.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND ADEQUACY

There have been no significant changes to FHN's capital management practices as described under "Capital Risk Management and Adequacy" on pa ge 52 of Ex hibit 13 to FHN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

There have been no significant changes to FHN's credit risk management practices as described under "Credit Risk Management" beginning on page 53 of E xhibit 13 to FHN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

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

In accordance with the Liquidity Policy, ALCO manages FHN’s exposure to liquidity risk through a dynamic, real time forecasting methodology. Base liquidity forecasts are reviewed by ALCO and are updated as financial conditions dictate. In addition to the baseline liquidity reports, robust stress testing of assumptions and funds availability are periodically reviewed. FHN maintains a contingency funding plan that may be executed, should unexpected difficulties arise in accessing funding that affects FHN, the industry as a whole, or both. Subject to market conditions and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements from time to time, funds are available from a number of sources including the available-for-sale securities portfolio, dealer and commercial customer repurchase agreements, access to the overnight and term Federal Funds markets, incremental borrowing cap acity at the FH LB ($4.8 billion wa s available at June 30, 2019 ), brokered deposits, loan sales, syndications, and access to the Federal Reserve Banks.

Core deposits are a significant source of funding and have historically been a stable source of liquidity for banks. Generally, core deposits represent funding from a financial institution's customer base which provide inexpensive, predictable pricing. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures these deposits to the extent authorized by law. Generally, these limits are $250 thousand per account owner for interest bearing and non-interest bearing accounts. The ratio of total loans, excluding loans HFS and restricted real estate loans, to cor e deposits was 97 percent on June 30, 2019 compared to 100 percent on December 31, 2018.

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

Both FHN and FTBNA may access the debt markets in order to provide funding through the issuance of senior or subordinated unsecured debt subject to market conditions and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. In 2014, FTBNA issued $400 million of fixed rate senior notes due in December 2019. In October 2015, FHN issued $500 million of fixed rate senior notes due in December 2020.

Both FHN and FTBNA have the ability to generate liquidity by issuing preferred equity, and (for FHN) by issuing common equity, subject to market conditions and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. In January 2013, FHN issued $100 million of Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A. As of June 30, 2019 , FTBNA and subsidiaries had outstanding preferred shares of $295.4 million, which are reflected as noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Condition.

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

120

for dividends was $178.3 million as of July 1, 2019. Consequently, on that date the Bank could pay common dividends up to that amount to its sole common stockholder, FHN, or to its preferred shareholders without prior regulatory approval. FTBNA declared and paid common dividends to the parent company in the amount of $110.0 million in first and second quarter 2019, $60.0 million in third quarter 2019, and $420.0 million in 2018. FTBNA declared and paid preferred dividends in first and second quarter 2019 and each quarter of 2018. Additionally, FTBNA declared preferred dividends in third quarter 2019, payable in October 2019.

Payment of a dividend to shareholders of FHN is dependent on several factors which are considered by the Board. These factors include FHN’s current and prospective capital, liquidity, and other needs, applicable regulatory restrictions, and also availability of funds to FHN through a dividend from FTBNA. Beginning January 1, 2019, the ability to pay dividends for both FHN and FTBNA is restricted if capital ratios fall below regulatory minimums for Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1, Total Capital ratios plus a 2.5 percent capital conservation buffer or 50 basis points above the capital ratios required to be considered well-capitalized. Additionally, the Federal Reserve and the OCC generally require insured banks and bank holding companies to pay cash dividends only out of current operating earnings. Consequently, the decision of whether FHN will pay future dividends and the amount of dividends will be affected by current operating results. FHN paid a cash dividend of $.14 per common share on July 1, 2019, and in July 2019 the Board approved a $.14 per common share cash dividend payable on October 1, 2019, to shareholders of record on September 13, 2019. FHN paid a cash dividend of $1,550.00 per preferred share on July 10, 2019, and in July 2019 the Board approved a $1,550.00 per preferred share cash dividend payable on October 10, 2019, to shareholders of record on September 25, 2019.

CASH FLOWS

The Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows provide information on cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The level of cash and cash equivalent s decreased $155.6 million during the first half of 2019 compared to an increase of $25.0 million during the first half of 2018. In 2019, cash used by investing activities was more than cash provided by financing and operating activities. In 2018, cash provided by investing and operating activities was more than cash used by financing activities.

Net cash used by investing activities was $1.1 billion in the first half of 2019, largely driven by an increase in loan balances somewhat offset by a decrease in interest-bearing cash and a net decrease in AFS debt securities, as maturities and sales outpaced purchases. Net cash provided by financing activities was $595.7 million in the first half of 2019, primarily driven by an increase in other short-term borrowings somewhat offset by a decrease in deposits, share repurchases and cash dividends paid during the first half of 2019. The increase in short-term borrowings was primarily the result of an increase in FHLB borrowings, which fluctuate largely based on loan demand, deposit levels and balance sheet funding strategies. Net cash provided by operating activities was $347.3 million in the first half of 2019 due in large part to net cash inflows of $752.2 million related to fixed income trading activities and favorably driven cash-related net income items. Cash outflows of $605.3 million related to loans HFS negatively impacted operating cash flows during the first half of 2019, as purchases of government guaranteed loans outpaced sales, including the sale of approximately $25 million UPB of subprime consumer loans.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $428.9 million in the first half of 2018, primarily driven by a decrease in interest-bearing cash. Additionally, a net decrease in the AFS securities portfolio positively impacted cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2018, but was somewhat offset by cash paid associated with the cancellation of common shares in connection with CBF dissenting shareholders and cash paid related to the divestiture of two branches. Net cash provided by operating activities was $43.9 million in first half of 2018 and was primarily the result of a net increase in fixed income trading activities of $438.0 million and favorably driven cash-related net income items. Cash outflows of $616.6 million related to a net increase in loans HFS negatively impacted operating cash flows during the first half of 2018, as purchases of government guaranteed loans outpaced sales, including the sale of approximately $120 million UPB of subprime auto loans. Net cash used in financing activities was $447.8 million in first half of 2018, largely driven by a decrease in short-term borrowings, somewhat offset by an increase in deposits.

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

Obligations from Legacy Mortgage Businesses

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

For non-recourse loan sales, FHN has exposure: to indemnify underwriters of FH securitizations who are defending claims that they assert are based, at least in part, on FHN's breach of its representations and warranties made at closing to underwriters, the purchasers, and the trustee of FH proprietary securitizations; and to indemnify purchasers of other whole loans sold, or their assignees, asserting that FHN breached representations and warranties made in connection with the sales of those loans.

Repurchase and Make-Whole Obligations

To date, FHN has resolved a substantial number of GSE claims through definitive resolution agreements ("DRAs") with the GSEs, while the remainder have been resolved on a loan-by-loan basis. Under each DRA, FHN remains responsible for repurchase obligations related to certain excluded defects (such as title defects and violations of the GSE’s Charter Act) and FHN continues to have loan repurchase or monetary compensation obligations under the DRAs related to private mortgage insurance rescissions, cancellations, and denials (with certain exceptions). FHN also has exposure related to loans where there has been a prior bulk sale of servicing, as well as certain other whole-loan sales. With respect to loans where there has been a

121

prior bulk sale of servicing, FHN is not responsible for MI cancellations and denials to the extent attributable to the acts of the current servicer.

While large portions of repurchase claims from the GSEs were settled with the DRAs, comprehensive settlement of repurchase, make-whole, and indemnity claims with non-Agency claimants is not practical. Such claims that are not resolved by the parties can, and sometimes have, become litigation.

FH Proprietary Securitization Actions

FHN has potential financial exposure from FH proprietary securitizations outside of the repurchase/make-whole process. Several investors in certificates sued FHN and others starting in 2009, and several underwriters or other counterparties have demanded that FHN indemnify and defend them in securitization lawsuits. These suits generally asserted that disclosures made to investors in the offering and sale of certificates were legally deficient. A number of those matters have settled or otherwise been resolved. See Note 11 - Contingencies and Other Disclosures for a discussion of exposure related to FH proprietary securitizations.

Servicing Obligations

FHN's national servicing business was sold as part of the platform sale in 2008. A significant amount of mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") was sold at that time, and a significant amount was retained. The related servicing activities, including foreclosure and loss mitigation practices, not sold in 2008 were outsourced including a subservicing arrangement initiated in 2011 (the "2011 subservicer"). In fourth quarter 2013 and first quarter 2014, FHN sold and transferred a substantial majority of its remaining servicing obligations and servicing assets (including advances) to the 2011 subservicer. The servicing still retained by FHN is not significant and continues to be subserviced.

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

As mentioned in Note 11 - Contingencies and Other Disclosures - FHN has received a notice of indemnification claims from its 2011 subservicer, Nationstar Mortgage LLC, currently doing business as "Mr. Cooper." The notice asserts several categories of indemnity obligations by FHN to Nationstar in connection with mortgage loans under the subservicing arrangement and under the purchase transaction. This matter currently is not in formal litigation, but litigation in the future is possible.

Repurchase Accrual Methodology

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

Repurchase Accrual Approach

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

Repurchase and Foreclosure Liability

The repurchase and foreclosure liability is comprised of 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 DRAs, as well as other whole loans sold, MI rescissions, and loans included in bulk

122

servicing sales effected prior to the DRAs. 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.

123

The following table provides a rollforward of the legacy mortgage repurchase liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 :

MARKET UNCERTAINTIES AND PROSPECTIVE TRENDS

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

FHN has prioritized expense discipline to include reducing or controlling certain expenses including realization of expense efficiencies from the merger with CBF and investing in revenue-producing activities, customer-facing technology, and critical infrastructure. FHN remains committed to organic growth through customer retention, key hires, targeted incentives, and other traditional means.

Performance by FHN, and the entire U.S. financial services industry, is affected considerably by the overall health of the U.S. economy. The most recent recession ended in 2009. Growth during the economic expansion since 2009 for many years was muted, compared to earlier recoveries, and somewhat inconsistent from one quarter to the next. The economic expansion is over 10 years old and many aspects of the economy have strengthened.

The Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates by .25 percent four times in 2018 following similar, but less frequent, raises starting in 2015. These actions, along with a decline in long-term interest rates, flattened the yield curve. Early in 2019, the Federal Reserve signaled the possibility of pausing further increases in short-term interest rates while economic trends were evaluated. In second quarter the Federal Reserve signaled a willingness to cut short-term rates, and in July it implemented a .25 percent rate cut. These actions in 2019 have contributed to improved performance in FHN's Fixed Income segment year-to-date. In the second half of 2019, the July cut lowers short-term interest rates and compresses FHN's net interest margin. It might modestly stimulate the economy, which would benefit FHN.

In 2017, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), announced that it intends to halt persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, LIBOR as currently operated may not continue after 2021. FHN is not currently able to predict the impact that the transition from LIBOR will have on the Company; however, because FHN has instruments with floating rate terms based on LIBOR, FHN may experience increases in interest, dividends, and other costs relative to these instruments subsequent to 2021. Additionally, the transition from LIBOR could impact or change FHN’s hedge accounting practices. FHN has initiated efforts to 1) develop an inventory of affected loans, securities, and derivatives, 2) evaluate and draft modifications as needed to address loans outstanding at the time of LIBOR retirement, 3) obtain an understanding of the potential effects for applicable securities and derivatives and 4) assess revisions to product pricing structures based on alternative reference rates.

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

Foreclosure Practices

FHN retains exposure for potential deficiencies in servicing related to its legacy servicing business and subservicing arrangements. Further details regarding these legacy matters are provided in "Obligations from Legacy Mortgage Businesses - Servicing Obligations" under "Repurchase Obligations, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Other Contractual Obligations."

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes to FHN’s critical accounting policies as described in “Critical Accounting Policies” beginning on page 62 of Exhibit 13 to FHN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
