First Horizon National Corporation Reports Third Quarter Earnings


MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- First Horizon National Corporation (NYSE:FHN) announced third quarter 2006 earnings of $67.1 million or $.53 per diluted share. As previously announced, this quarter's results included the estimated settlement costs of $21.3 million for a class action lawsuit. Additionally, the interest rate environment and housing slow-down negatively impacted the Mortgage Banking segment. In 2005, third quarter earnings were $112.9 million or $.87 per diluted share. Other highlights for the quarter included:


 -- Commercial loans grew 17 percent and retail loans grew 16 percent
    over third quarter 2005
 -- Retail/Commercial Banking deposits grew 9 percent over third
    quarter 2005
 -- Capital Markets non-fixed income product revenues grew 38 percent
    compared to third quarter 2005
 -- Asset quality remains solid reflecting geographic diversity and
    strong credit practices

Return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 10.9 percent and .67 percent, respectively, for third quarter 2006. Return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 20.2 percent and 1.18 percent, respectively, for third quarter 2005. Total assets were $40.1 billion and shareholders' equity was $2.5 billion on September 30, 2006, compared to $37.0 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, on September 30, 2005.

"We remain confident in our core strategy which continued to show progress in the third quarter," said First Horizon National Corporation Chairman and CEO, Ken Glass. "In this period, we expanded our retail/commercial banking footprint, experienced the positive impact of cross-sell penetration, and made gains in the development and distribution of capital markets products other than fixed income. We believe that our vision of organically creating a national financial services organization and recruiting high-performing, experienced talent will deliver above-industry performance and provide long term value to our shareholders."

Including the impact of the merchant processing sale completed in first quarter 2006, diluted earnings per share were $3.02 and $2.47 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2006, return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 21.6 percent and 1.34 percent, respectively. Return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 19.9 percent and 1.18 percent, respectively, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2005.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Retail/Commercial Banking

Pre-tax income for Retail/Commercial Banking increased 5 percent to $114.7 million for third quarter 2006, compared to $109.3 million for third quarter 2005. Total revenues for Retail/Commercial Banking increased 3 percent to $342.3 million for third quarter 2006 compared to $331.4 million for third quarter 2005.

Net interest income increased 3 percent to $231.9 million in third quarter 2006 from $224.8 million in third quarter 2005 as earning assets grew 5 percent, or $1.0 billion. Loans grew 15 percent or $2.8 billion while loans held for sale decreased 81 percent or $1.8 billion and deposits increased 9 percent or $1.0 billion over third quarter 2005. The Retail/Commercial Banking net interest margin was 4.21 percent in third quarter 2006 compared to 4.28 percent in the third quarter of last year. This compression reflects competitive positioning as the current cycle of Fed rate increases apparently came to an end.

Noninterest income increased 4 percent to $110.4 million in third quarter 2006 from $106.6 million in third quarter 2005. Fees from deposit transactions and cash management increased 8 percent or $3.2 million compared to third quarter 2005 due to deposit growth and pricing initiatives. In 2005, a charge of $3.9 million resulted from a write-off of net capitalized expenses on HELOC held for sale which prepaid faster than anticipated. Additionally, third quarter 2005 included $3.1 million from a settlement received from an insurance company.

Provision for loan losses increased to $23.6 million in third quarter 2006 from $22.4 million last year. The 2005 provision included $3.8 million of hurricane losses. Excluding this item, the provision for loan losses would have been $18.6 million. The $5.0 million increase primarily reflects an expectation of slowing economic growth and the migration of a few loans to the watch list.

Noninterest expense was relatively stable, increasing 2 percent to $204.0 million in third quarter 2006 compared to $199.7 million last year. This increase includes $5.2 million related to the expansion of national businesses within Retail/Commercial Banking. This stability reflects a continued focus on efficiency which resulted in a 60 basis point improvement in the efficiency ratio in third quarter 2006 compared to the prior year.

Mortgage Banking

Mortgage Banking had a pre-tax loss of $25.5 million for third quarter 2006, compared to pre-tax income of $60.6 million for third quarter 2005. Total revenues for Mortgage Banking were $118.2 million in third quarter 2006 compared to $193.0 million in third quarter 2005.

Net interest income decreased 50 percent to $20.9 million in third quarter 2006 from $41.8 million in third quarter 2005. An inverted yield curve resulted in compression of the spread on the warehouse, which was 1.18 percent in third quarter 2006 compared to 2.33 percent for the same period in 2005. Additionally, a 31 percent decrease in the warehouse related to lower origination activity negatively impacted net interest income.

Noninterest income decreased to $97.3 million in third quarter 2006 compared to $151.2 million in third 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 changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights (MSR) net of 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.

Noninterest income from mortgage origination and servicing activities declined this quarter over third quarter of last year. Net origination income decreased 41 percent to $67.7 million from $115.5 million in third quarter 2005 as loans delivered into the secondary market decreased 39 percent to $6.5 billion. Total mortgage servicing fees increased 24 percent to $86.2 million from $69.7 million reflecting mortgage servicing portfolio growth of 7 percent to $100.2 billion on September 30, 2006. Servicing fees also benefited from an increase in the mix of higher fee products.

Servicing hedging activities and write-off of MSR values negatively impacted net servicing revenues by $24.4 million 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 $5.8 million in third quarter 2006 compared to a gain of $30.3 million during the same period last year. Additionally, although MSR that prepaid this quarter were more valuable than a year ago, overall prepayments declined with lower refinance activity, causing the change in MSR value due to runoff to decrease to $60.3 million from $72.0 million last year.

Other noninterest income decreased $3.3 million. Third quarter 2005 included a settlement of $4.6 million from an insurance company. Income from a deferred compensation plan increased $1.7 million from third quarter 2005. This increase in revenue was matched by a corresponding $1.7 million increase in noninterest expense associated with this plan.

Noninterest expense increased 9 percent or $11.4 million to $143.6 million in third quarter 2006 compared to $132.2 million in third quarter 2005. Excluding $21.3 million for the estimated costs of settling a class action lawsuit, noninterest expense decreased 8 percent primarily due to reductions in personnel expense which were directly related to the contraction in origination revenue.

Capital Markets

Capital Markets pre-tax earnings were $13.8 million in third quarter 2006 compared to $2.5 million in third quarter 2005. Total revenues for Capital Markets were $100.1 million in third quarter 2006 compared to $78.5 million in third quarter 2005.

Revenues from products other than fixed income were $56.7 million in third quarter 2006, an increase of $15.6 million, or 38 percent, from third quarter 2005. Revenues from other products include fee income from activities such as structured finance, equity research, investment banking, loan sales, portfolio advisory and the sale of bank-owned life insurance. These other sources of revenue represented 58 percent of total product revenues in third quarter 2006 compared to 48 percent in third quarter 2005. The increase from third quarter 2005 was due to increased fees from structured finance activities. Revenues from fixed income sales decreased $2.4 million, or 5 percent, to $41.5 million in third quarter 2006 compared to $43.9 million in third quarter 2005 reflecting the current interest rate environment and its continuing negative impact on the demand for fixed income products. Other non-product revenues relating to a deferred compensation plan increased $1.8 million from third quarter 2005. This increase in revenue was offset by a related $2.1 million increase in noninterest expense associated with this plan.

Net interest expense decreased $6.3 million in third quarter 2006 compared to third quarter 2005 primarily due to a increase in net average earning assets, improved execution that decreased nonearning asset funding costs and a decrease in the internal incremental cost of equity.

Noninterest expense was $86.3 million in third quarter 2006 compared to $76.0 million in third quarter 2005. This increase was primarily due to variable compensation related to the increase in other product revenues and a $2.1 million increase in deferred compensation plan expense mentioned above.

Corporate

The Corporate segment's results yielded a pre-tax loss of $10.1 million in third quarter 2006 compared to a pre-tax loss of $14.4 million in third quarter 2005. The third quarter 2006 results include $8.8 million of net securities gains from the sale of MasterCard Inc. securities and gains from venture capital investments. Noninterest expense growth resulted from the write-off of a holding company investment, venture capital commissions and project costs.

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET

Total average assets increased 4 percent to $39.5 billion for third quarter 2006. Total loans increased 16 percent to $21.8 billion as commercial loans grew 17 percent and retail loans increased 16 percent. Loans held for sale decreased 39 percent to $4.2 billion. Average earning assets increased 3 percent to $34.6 billion. Interest-bearing core deposits increased 16 percent. Total core deposits increased 6 percent to $13.2 billion, which reflects market share gains in Tennessee markets, new market expansion and improved national cross-sell efforts; however, average escrow deposits declined $392.7 million due to lower mortgage activities. Purchased funds decreased 15 percent to $16.5 billion. Average shareholders' equity increased 10 percent in third quarter 2006.

The consolidated net interest margin was 2.90 percent for third quarter 2006 compared to 3.09 percent for third quarter 2005. The compression in the margin occurred as the net interest spread decreased to 2.25 percent in 2006 from 2.59 percent in 2005 while the benefit from free funding increased to 65 basis points from 50 basis points. An inverted yield curve which decreased spread on the warehouse by 115 basis points to 1.18 percent, created a negative impact on the overall corporate margin this quarter as compared to a year ago.

ASSET QUALITY

Provision for loan losses increased to $23.7 million in third quarter 2006 from $22.6 million in third quarter 2005. The 2005 provision included $3.8 million of hurricane losses. Excluding this item, the provision for loan losses would have been $18.8 million. The $4.9 million increase primarily reflects an expectation of slowing economic growth and the migration of a few loans to the watch list. Nonperforming assets were $118.0 million on September 30, 2006, compared to $79.0 million on September 30, 2005. The nonperforming assets ratio related to the loan portfolio increased to 49 basis points in third quarter 2006 from 35 basis points last year and 45 basis points in second quarter 2006. The nonperforming asset ratio experienced some migration from historical low levels as the loan portfolio matured and modest deterioration of a few commercial credits in the retail commercial bank's traditional lending markets occurred. The net charge-off ratio increased to 30 basis points in third quarter 2006 from 20 basis points in 2005 as net charge-offs grew to $16.4 million from $9.2 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).
