Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Furnished as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the First Horizon National Corporation ("First Horizon" or "FHN”) earnings release for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019, which is scheduled to be released January 17, 2020.

The foregoing information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, "Regulation of Operations and Financial Condition," and Item 7.01, "Regulation FD Disclosure." The exhibit speaks as of the date thereof and FHN does not assume any obligation to update in the future the information therein.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures and Regulatory Measures that are not GAAP in the Exhibit

Certain measures are included in the exhibit 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 the U.S. banking regulations currently applicable to FHN. Although other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by FHN for non-GAAP measures, FHN’s management believes such measures are relevant to understanding the financial condition, capital position, and financial results of FHN and its business segments. Non-GAAP measures are reported to FHN’s management and directors through various internal reports.

Presentation of regulatory measures, some of which follow regulatory definitions rather than GAAP, provides a meaningful base for comparability to other financial institutions subject to the same regulations as FHN. Such measures are used by the various banking regulators in reviewing the performance, stability, and capital adequacy of financial institutions they regulate. 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 the exhibit 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 measures presented in the exhibit include: Return on average tangible common equity (“ROTCE”), adjusted ROTCE, adjusted return on average assets ("ROA"), adjusted return on average common equity ("ROCE"), and adjusted earnings per share ("EPS").

Reconciliations of non-GAAP to GAAP measures and presentation of the most comparable GAAP items are presented at the end of the earnings release.

Forward-Looking Statements

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements involving significant risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking information. Those factors include general economic and financial market conditions, including expectations of and actual timing and amount of interest rate movements including the slope of the yield curve, competition, customer and investor responses to these conditions, ability to execute business plans, geopolitical developments, recent and future legislative and regulatory developments, natural disasters, and items mentioned in this earnings release and in FHN's most recent financial supplement and investor slide presentation, as well as critical accounting estimates and other factors described in FHN’s recent filings with the SEC. FHN disclaims any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d)	Exhibits

The following exhibit is furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01, is not to be considered "filed" under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), and shall not be incorporated by reference into any of First Horizon's previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

EXHIBIT 99.1

First Horizon Releases 2019 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results

Company delivers strong performance and solid earnings after ‘transformative’ year

2019 results include profitable balance sheet growth, countercyclical business benefit and effective capital deployment

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Horizon National Corp. (NYSE:FHN) today announced its 2019 fourth quarter and full year financial results. The company ended a year of high returns and strong growth by announcing a merger of equals agreement with IBERIABANK Corporation and an agreement to acquire 30 branches. Fourth quarter 2019 reported earnings per share were $.37; adjusted earnings per share were $.47¹.

“First Horizon had a transformative year and delivered strong performance in 2019. Our momentum continued into the fourth quarter as we achieved higher returns, improved profitability, balance sheet growth, and stable credit quality,” said Bryan Jordan, chairman and CEO of First Horizon. “In 2019, we delivered on synergies created by the Capital Bank merger. Those successes provide a solid roadmap for our planned merger of equals with IBERIABANK and the acquisition of an additional 30 branches located in attractive markets in North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia. Looking ahead, I remain confident in our ability to continue to deliver on our strategic priorities, build shareholder value and serve even more customers and communities across the South.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Several financial measures in this release are non-GAAP, meaning they are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. The non-GAAP items presented in this release are adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), adjusted return on average common equity (“ROCE”), return on tangible common equity ("ROTCE"), adjusted ROTCE, and adjusted return on average assets ("ROA"). These profitability measures are reported to First Horizon’s management and directors through various internal reports. First Horizon’s management believes these measures are relevant to understanding the financial results of First Horizon and its business segments. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by First Horizon. First Horizon has reconciled each of these measures to a comparable GAAP measure below:
