First Horizon National Corporation Reports Growth in Difficult Environment


MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 19, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- First Horizon National Corporation (NYSE:FHN) announced second quarter 2006 earnings of $104.3 million or $.82 per diluted share. In 2005, second quarter earnings were $100.1 million or $.77 per diluted share.

Return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 17.4 percent and 1.09 percent, respectively, for second quarter 2006. Return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 18.8 percent and 1.11 percent, respectively, for second quarter 2005. Total assets were $37.5 billion and shareholders' equity was $2.4 billion on June 30, 2006, compared to $37.2 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, on June 30, 2005. Highlights for the quarter included:



  --  Commercial loans grew 20 percent and retail loans grew 
      21 percent over second quarter 2005
  --  Retail/Commercial Banking deposits grew 11 percent over second 
      quarter 2005
  --  Mortgage Banking pre-tax income declined $12.7 million compared 
      to second quarter 2005; however, on a sequential quarter basis 
      pre-tax income increased $34.6 million as margins on loans 
      delivered improved
  --  Capital Markets noninterest revenues from products other than 
      fixed income grew 33 percent compared to second quarter 2005

"Our second quarter performance was solid, even though the operating environment continues to deteriorate," said Chairman and CEO, Ken Glass. "Our income from continuing operations represents an 8 percent increase over a year ago while the yield curve has flattened more than 100bps during that same time frame, drastically impacting our mortgage and fixed income businesses. Our employees continue to be our competitive advantage and it's to their credit that we've been able to produce growth in this difficult environment."

Including the impact of the merchant processing sale, diluted earnings per share were $2.49 and $1.60 for the six-months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six-months ended June 30, 2006, return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 27.2 percent and 1.69 percent, respectively. Return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 19.8 percent and 1.18 percent, respectively, for the six-months ended June 30, 2005.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Retail/Commercial Banking

Total revenues for Retail/Commercial Banking increased 10 percent to $342.5 million for second quarter 2006 compared to $311.2 million for second quarter 2005.

Net interest income increased 9 percent to $230.7 million in second quarter 2006 from $211.4 million in second quarter 2005 as earning assets grew 11 percent, or $2.1 billion. Loans grew 19 percent or $3.4 billion while loans held for sale decreased 72 percent or $1.3 billion and deposits increased 11 percent or $1.2 billion over second quarter 2005. The Retail/Commercial Banking net interest margin was 4.27 percent in second quarter 2006 compared to 4.25 percent in first quarter 2006 and 4.34 percent in the second quarter of last year.

Noninterest income increased 12 percent to $111.8 million in second quarter 2006 from $99.8 million in second quarter 2005. In second quarter 2005, noninterest income was reduced by $5.2 million resulting from a write-off of the net capitalized expenses on HELOC held for sale that prepaid faster than anticipated. Fees from deposit transactions and cash management increased 8 percent or $3.3 million compared to second quarter 2005 due to deposit growth and pricing initiatives. Revenue from loan sales and securitizations increased 18 percent or $2.0 million in second quarter 2006 compared to second quarter 2005.

Provision for loan losses increased to $18.3 million in second quarter 2006 from $15.7 million last year, primarily reflecting loan growth and a trend away from the recently experienced low levels of net charge-offs.

Noninterest expense was $211.9 million in second quarter 2006 compared to $192.8 million last year. A previously identified pool of construction loans in which certain misrepresentations had been made experienced deterioration this quarter which resulted in a $7.9 million negative impact on noninterest expense. In addition, noninterest expense has increased $8.6 million due to national businesses within Retail/Commercial Banking.

Pre-tax income for Retail/Commercial Banking increased 9 percent to $112.3 million for second quarter 2006, compared to $102.7 million for second quarter 2005.

Mortgage Banking

Total revenues for Mortgage Banking were $139.1 million in second quarter 2006 compared to $155.6 million in second quarter 2005.

Net interest income decreased 34 percent to $25.1 million in second quarter 2006 from $37.9 million in second quarter 2005. The flattening of the yield curve resulted in compression of the spread on the warehouse, which was 1.44 percent in second quarter 2006 compared to 2.66 percent for the same period in 2005. Additionally, an 11 percent decrease in the warehouse negatively impacted net interest income.

Noninterest income decreased to $114.0 million in second quarter 2006 compared to $117.7 million in second quarter 2005. Noninterest income consists primarily of mortgage banking-related revenue, net of costs, from the origination and sale of mortgage loans, fees from mortgage servicing and mortgage servicing rights (MSR) net hedge gains or losses. Mortgage servicing noninterest income prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 156 in first quarter 2006 was net of amortization, impairment and other expenses related to MSR and related hedges. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 156, mortgage servicing noninterest income reflects the change in fair value of MSR combined with hedging results, whether positive or negative.

Noninterest income from mortgage origination and servicing activities both increased this year over second quarter of last year. Loans sold increased 12 percent to $107.4 million from $95.7 million in second quarter 2005 as margins on loans sold improved 24 basis points while loans delivered into the secondary market decreased 15 percent to $7.4 billion. Total mortgage servicing fees increased 17 percent to $80.2 million from $68.4 million primarily reflecting mortgage servicing portfolio growth of 9 percent to $99.3 billion on June 30, 2006.

Servicing hedging activities and write-off of MSR values negatively impacted net servicing revenues this quarter as compared to a year ago. Changes in the value of MSR due to factors other than runoff net of hedge results reflected a net loss of $2.5 million in second quarter 2006 compared to a gain of $18.0 million during the same period last year. Additionally, although overall prepayments declined with lower refinance activity, this benefit was offset by the fact that MSR that prepaid this quarter were more valuable than a year ago, causing the change in MSR value due to runoff to increase to $72 million from $68 million last year. Trading asset performance and reduced option expense resulted in a $5.9 million increase in servicing income compared to 2005.

Other noninterest income decreased $8.4 million due in part to a deferred compensation plan which decreased $3.7 million from second quarter 2005. This decline in revenue was matched by a corresponding $3.8 million decrease in noninterest expense associated with this plan.

Noninterest expense decreased 4 percent or $4.0 million to $109.6 million in second quarter 2006 compared to $113.6 million in second quarter 2005. Contributing to this decrease are reductions in deferred compensation costs, discretionary spending and consolidation of certain back office functions.

Mortgage Banking had pre-tax income of $29.2 million for second quarter 2006, compared to $41.9 million for second quarter 2005.

Capital Markets

Total revenues for Capital Markets were $96.5 million in second quarter 2006 compared to $90.8 million in second quarter 2005.

Revenues from fixed income sales decreased 18 percent to $41.8 million in second quarter 2006 compared to $50.8 million in second quarter 2005. Revenues from other products were $62.2 million in second quarter 2006, an increase of $15.6 million, or 33 percent, from second quarter 2005. Revenues from other products include fee income from activities such as loan sales, investment banking, structured finance, equity research, portfolio advisory and the sale of bank-owned life insurance. These other sources of revenue represented 60 percent of total product revenues in second quarter 2006 compared to 48 percent in second quarter 2005. The increase from second quarter 2005 was primarily due to increased fees from investment banking and structured finance activities. Other non-product revenues relating to a deferred compensation plan decreased $5.6 million from second quarter 2005. This decline in revenue was offset by a related $5.8 million decrease in noninterest expense associated with this plan.

Net interest expense improved $4.9 million in second quarter 2006 compared to second quarter 2005 primarily due to improved execution that decreased nonearning assets.

Noninterest expense was $80.5 million in second quarter 2006 compared to $82.8 million in second quarter 2005. This decline was primarily due to a $5.8 million decrease related to the deferred compensation plan mentioned above.

Capital Markets pre-tax earnings were $16.0 million in second quarter 2006 compared to $8.0 million in second quarter 2005.

Corporate

The Corporate segment's results yielded a pre-tax loss of $10.5 million in second quarter 2006 compared to a pre-tax loss of $12.9 million in second quarter 2005. The second quarter 2006 results include $2.9 million of net securities gains.

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET

Total average assets increased 6 percent to $38.5 billion for second quarter 2006. Total loans increased 21 percent to $21.4 billion as commercial loans grew 20 percent and retail loans increased 21 percent. Loans held for sale decreased 24 percent to $4.6 billion. Average earning assets increased 7 percent to $33.9 billion. Interest-bearing core deposits increased 17 percent. Total core deposits increased 10 percent to $13.1 billion, which reflects market share gains in Tennessee markets, new market expansion and improved national cross-sell efforts. Purchased funds decreased 10 percent to $16.0 billion. Average shareholders' equity increased 13 percent in second quarter 2006.

The consolidated net interest margin was 3.00 percent for second quarter 2006 compared to 3.06 percent for second quarter 2005. This compression in the margin occurred as the net interest spread decreased to 2.34 percent in 2006 from 2.66 percent in 2005 while the benefit from free funding increased to 66 basis points from 40 basis points. The decline in margin is attributable to a flatter yield curve which decreased spread on the warehouse by 122 basis points to 1.44 percent, creating a negative impact of 13 basis points on the overall corporate margin this quarter as compared to a year ago.

ASSET QUALITY

Provision for loan losses increased to $18.7 million in second quarter 2006 from $15.8 million in second quarter 2005, reflecting loan growth and a trend away from the recently experienced low levels of net charge-offs. Nonperforming assets were $112.7 million on June 30, 2006, compared to $77.5 million on June 30, 2005. However, as the loan portfolio experienced strong growth during this period, the nonperforming assets ratio only increased to 45 basis points in second quarter 2006 from 36 basis points last year. The nonperforming asset ratio was expected to experience some deterioration as the loan portfolio matured and the deterioration of a single commercial credit in our traditional lending markets added to this increase. The net charge-off ratio increased to 26 basis points in second quarter 2006 from 23 basis points in 2005 as net charge-offs grew to $13.8 million from $10.3 million during a period of strong loan growth. (See the table on A-6 for an analysis of the allowance for loan losses and details on nonperforming assets and the table on A-7 for asset quality ratios).
