Item 8.01. Other Events.

In mid-April, First Horizon Corporation (the “Company”) became aware of a data security incident affecting a limited number of customer accounts. Based on its ongoing investigation, the Company determined that an unauthorized party had obtained login credentials from an unknown source and attempted access to customer accounts. Using the credentials and exploiting a vulnerability in third-party security software, the unauthorized party gained unauthorized access to under 200 on-line customer bank accounts, had access to personal information in those accounts, and fraudulently obtained an aggregate of less than $1 million from some of those accounts. The Company has remediated the software vulnerability, reset the passwords for the identified accounts, is working with the affected customers to close existing accounts and open new ones, has reimbursed the customers for the stolen funds, and has notified the appropriate regulators and enforcement authorities. Based on its ongoing assessment of the incident to date, the Company does not believe that this event will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition.

Filed as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of selected information derived from First Horizon’s First Quarter 2021 Earnings Release. The exhibit speaks as of the date thereof and First Horizon does not assume any obligation to update in the future the information therein.

First Quarter 2021 versus Fourth Quarter2020

Net interest income

Net interest income of $508 million declined $14 million from fourth quarter 2020. Results were driven by the impact of a decrease in average loans, day count and lower short-term rates partially offset by improved funding costs. Net interest margin of 2.63% decreased from 2.71% in the prior quarter, largely driven by a 10 basis point reduction tied to excess cash.

Noninterest income

Noninterest income of $298 million increased $10 million from fourth quarter 2020. Results reflect strength in fixed income and brokerage, trust and insurance partially offset by lower deferred compensation, mortgage banking and title fees and other noninterest income. Fixed income average daily revenue of $1.9 million improved from

| --- |

$1.5 million in fourth quarter 2020 reflecting the impact of continued overall economic factors including elevated liquidity levels and weak loan demand, as well as interest rate volatility.

Noninterest expense

Noninterest expense of $544 million increased $36 million from fourth quarter 2020 largely related to the IBERIABANK Corporation (“IBKC”) merger costs.

Loans and leases

Average loan and lease balances of $58.2 billion decreased $1.6 billion from fourth quarter 2020 reflecting an $893 million decrease in commercial and a $705 million decrease in consumer. Commercial loans trends largely reflected a $972 million decrease in loans to mortgage companies. Period-end loans and leases of $58.6 billion increased $368 million from fourth quarter 2020 largely driven by a $1.0 billion increase in commercial largely tied to PPP loans, offset by a $675 million decrease in consumer.

Deposits

Average deposits of $71.0 billion increased $1.3 billion from fourth quarter 2020 driven by a $1.2 billion increase in noninterest-bearing deposits largely reflecting the impact of stimulus checks and balance increases tied to PPP loans. Period-end deposits of $73.2 billion at March 31, 2021, increased $3.2 billion from $70.0 billion at December 31, 2020 driven by growth in noninterest-bearing deposits. Interest-bearing deposit costs of 20 basis points improved 6 basis points linked quarter, reflecting continued pricing discipline.

Asset quality

Provision for credit losses benefit of $45 million compared to expense of $1 million in fourth quarter 2020, largely reflecting continued improvement in the overall macroeconomic outlook and a reduction in consumer loans.

Net charge-offs of $8 million, or 6 basis points, improved from $29 million, or 19 basis points, in fourth quarter 2020 reflecting continued improvement in overall asset quality.

Nonperforming loans of $394 million increased $7 million from fourth quarter 2020 driven by an increase in commercial real estate. First quarter 2021 allowance to nonperforming coverage ratio of 232% compared with 249% in fourth quarter 2020. First quarter 2021 nonperforming loans to loans ratio of 67 basis points compared with 66 basis points at fourth quarter 2020.

The allowance for credit losses to loans ratio decreased to 1.70% from 1.80% in fourth quarter 2020 reflecting an overall improvement in the macroeconomic environment and asset quality.

Capital

CET1 ratio of 10.0% in first quarter 2021 improved from 9.7% in fourth quarter 2020. The improvement was driven by growth in retained earnings and a reduction in risk-weighted assets tied to lower loan balances; the increase was partially offset by capital return through share repurchases and dividends.

On January 27, 2021, the board of directors authorized the company to repurchase up to $500 million of common stock. The board also approved payment of a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.15 per share. The dividend was paid April 1, 2021. Additionally, the board approved payment of cash dividends on First Horizon’s Series A, Series C, Series D and Series E Preferred Stock.

Returned $143 million in capital to common stockholders during the quarter including $58 million, or 3.6 million shares, of common stock repurchases at a weighted average price of $16.12.

Income taxes

The first quarter 2021 effective tax rate of 23.2% increased from fourth quarter 2020 level of 18.7%.
