MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — First Horizon Corporation (NYSE: FHN or “First Horizon”) today reported first quarter 2021 net income available to common shareholders (“NIAC”) of $225 million, or earnings per share of $0.40, compared with fourth quarter 2020 NIAC of $234 million, or earnings per share of $0.42. First quarter 2021 results were reduced by a net $60 million after-tax, or $0.11 per share, of notable items largely related to the IBERIABANK Corporation Merger (“IBKC Merger”) compared with a net $20 million after-tax reduction, or $0.04 per share, in fourth quarter 2020.

“Our balanced business model and countercyclical businesses continued to perform well in the first quarter,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Bryan Jordan. “Credit quality improved, and our expense discipline resulted in incremental cost savings. Merger integration efforts are going well, and I am proud of our associates’ unwavering support of our clients and communities. Annualized merger-related cost savings totaled $76 million in the first quarter, and since the inception of the most recent phase of the Paycheck Protection Program, we have assisted clients and their employees by funding over 15,000 loans totaling approximately $1.5 billion.”

Jordan continued, “Thank you to our associates for their extraordinary dedication to our clients and communities and focus on growing our business all while helping to bring our two companies together.”
