First Horizon National Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter Results in Line With Expectations and Foresees Growth in 2007
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 17, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- First Horizon National Corporation (NYSE:FHN) announced fourth quarter 2006 earnings of $76.5 million or $.60 diluted earnings per share compared to $105.9 million or $.81 diluted earnings per share for fourth quarter 2005. Results for fourth quarter 2006 continue to reflect the negative impact of the interest rate environment and housing slow-down on the mortgage segment.
Highlights this quarter include continued growth in Capital Markets' "other product" revenues compared to fourth quarter 2005. Mortgage Banking returned to profitability this quarter as pre-tax income improved to $3.5 million reflecting improved margins on loans sold and an aggressive right-sizing of the origination support costs. Retail/Commercial Banking loan and deposit products continued to grow while asset quality remained solid reflecting geographic diversity and strong credit practices.
Return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 12.1 percent and .77 percent, respectively, for fourth quarter 2006. Return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 18.4 percent and 1.11 percent, respectively, for fourth quarter 2005. Total assets were $37.9 billion and shareholders' equity was $2.5 billion on December 31, 2006, compared to $36.6 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, on December 31, 2005.
"This quarter's results are in line with expectations given the difficult operating environment," said Ken Glass, chairman and CEO. "The continued execution of our strategic initiatives and adapting our business mix to the changing economic environment positions us for earnings growth in 2007."
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, earnings were $462.9 million or $3.62 diluted earnings per share compared to $424.7 million or $3.28 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2005. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 19.1 percent and 1.19 percent, respectively. For the same period in 2005, return on average shareholders' equity and return on average assets were 19.5 percent and 1.16 percent, respectively.
Comparisons between results for 2006 and 2005 are affected by a number of factors that significantly impacted 2006, including: a $209 million after-tax gain from the sale of FHN's national merchant processing business which is included in income from discontinued operations; net securities losses of $65.6 million predominantly related to repositioning approximately $2.3 billion of investment securities; estimated settlement costs of $21.3 million for a class action lawsuit; and transactions through which the incremental capital provided by the merchant divestiture was utilized, various other transactions, and accounting matters. Additionally, the interest rate environment and housing slow-down negatively impacted results in 2006.
PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS
Retail/Commercial Banking
Pre-tax income for Retail/Commercial Banking was $108.3 million for fourth quarter 2006, compared to $122.8 million for fourth quarter 2005. A number of items impacted the results in fourth quarter of each year. As mentioned below, fourth quarter 2006 included other losses of $7.0 million related to a customer-initiated deposit scheme in our full-servicing banking markets, the result of employee misrepresentation in our construction lending business and the settlement of an insurance matter. Fourth quarter 2005 included divestiture gains of $7.0 million from the sale of three financial centers. Total revenues for Retail/Commercial Banking were $340.8 million for fourth quarter 2006 compared to $341.3 million for fourth quarter 2005.
Net interest income was $228.0 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $227.6 million in fourth quarter 2005. Loans grew 8 percent or $1.7 billion while loans held for sale decreased 76 percent or $1.2 billion and deposits increased 7 percent or $766.1 million over fourth quarter 2005. The Retail/Commercial Banking net interest margin was 4.13 percent in fourth quarter 2006 compared to 4.22 percent in the fourth quarter of last year.
Noninterest income was $112.8 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $113.7 million in fourth quarter 2005. Fourth quarter 2005 included a divestiture gain of $7.0 million from the sale of three financial centers. Noninterest income from insurance commissions decreased $4.2 million compared to fourth quarter 2005 due to the sale of a subsidiary in 2006. Also impacting noninterest income in fourth quarter 2006 was an increase of $3.3 million related to revenue from loan sales and securitizations as the execution of this quarter's deals improved. Market adjustments on HELOC and second-lien mortgages also created $3.0 million of revenue growth in fourth quarter 2006 as prepayments slowed.
Provision for loan losses increased to $23.3 million in fourth quarter 2006 from $15.9 million last year. This increase primarily reflects continued growth of the commercial and construction loan portfolios and an expectation of slowing economic growth.
Noninterest expense was relatively stable, increasing 3 percent to $209.2 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $202.6 million last year. Included in fourth quarter 2006 were $7.0 million in other losses due to a customer-initiated deposit scheme in our full-servicing banking markets, the result of employee misrepresentation in our construction lending business and the settlement of an insurance matter. This stability reflects a continued focus on efficiency.
Mortgage Banking
Mortgage Banking pre-tax income was $3.5 million for fourth quarter 2006, compared to pre-tax income of $38.9 million for fourth quarter 2005. Total revenues for Mortgage Banking were $111.9 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $154.3 million in fourth quarter 2005.
Net interest income decreased 41 percent to $20.4 million in fourth quarter 2006 from $34.7 million in fourth quarter 2005. An inverted yield curve resulted in compression of the spread on the warehouse, which was 1.24 percent in fourth quarter 2006 compared to 2.06 percent for the same period in 2005. Additionally, an 18 percent decrease in the warehouse related to lower origination activity negatively impacted net interest income.
Noninterest income decreased to $91.5 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $119.6 million in fourth 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 fourth quarter of last year. Net origination income decreased 22 percent to $69.2 million from $89.1 million in fourth quarter 2005 as loans delivered into the secondary market decreased 21 percent to $6.3 billion. Total mortgage servicing fees increased 13 percent to $83.9 million from $74.3 million reflecting mortgage servicing portfolio growth of 6 percent to $101.4 billion on December 31, 2006. Servicing fees also benefited from an increase in the mix of higher fee products.
Servicing hedging activities and changes in MSR value negatively impacted net servicing revenues by $18.0 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 gain of $3.2 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to a gain of $23.0 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 $66.9 million from $71.7 million last year.
Noninterest expense decreased 5 percent to $108.7 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $115.1 million in fourth quarter 2005 primarily due to reductions in personnel expense which were directly related to the reduction of compensation due to contraction in origination revenue, reductions in headcount and the closure of unprofitable locations. Fourth quarter 2006 expenses also included $1.4 million in severance and branch closure expenses.
Capital Markets
Capital Markets pre-tax earnings were $8.5 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $4.3 million in fourth quarter 2005. Total revenues for Capital Markets were $92.6 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $78.5 million in fourth quarter 2005.
Revenues from products other than fixed income were $49.9 million in fourth quarter 2006, an increase of $9.9 million, or 25 percent, from fourth 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 52 percent and 47 percent, respectively, of total product revenues in fourth quarter 2006 and 2005. The increase from fourth quarter 2005 was due primarily to increased fees from structured finance activities, partially offset by a decline in equity research revenues. Revenues from fixed income sales increased $1.8 million, or 4 percent, to $46.2 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $44.4 million in fourth quarter 2005 and reflect the continuing subdued demand for fixed income products associated with the current interest rate environment.
Net interest expense decreased $2.4 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to fourth quarter 2005 primarily due to improved execution that decreased nonearning asset funding costs and a decrease in the internal incremental cost of equity.
Noninterest expense was $84.1 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to $74.2 million in fourth quarter 2005. This increase was primarily due to variable compensation related to the increase in other product revenues as well as $3.1 million of severance and retirement related costs incurred in fourth quarter 2006.
Corporate
The Corporate segment's results yielded a pre-tax loss of $12.5 million in fourth quarter 2006 compared to a pre-tax loss of $19.7 million in fourth quarter 2005. Fourth quarter 2006 included $3.0 million in securities gains. In addition, revenue included $8.3 million in fourth quarter 2006 and $2.5 million in fourth quarter 2005 related to deferred compensation plans, which was offset by a related $10.2 million in fourth quarter 2006 and $3.9 million in fourth quarter 2005 in noninterest expense associated with these plans.
Income Taxes
The effective corporate tax rate this quarter was 29.2 percent. This was due to tax credits from low income housing project expenses in the retail/commercial bank and deferred compensation expenses in the corporate segment, creating no meaningful net benefit to the bottom line.
AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET
Total average assets increased 4 percent to $39.3 billion for fourth quarter 2006. Total loans increased 10 percent to $21.9 billion as commercial loans grew 14 percent and retail loans increased 6 percent. Loans held for sale decreased 34 percent to $3.8 billion. Interest-bearing core deposits increased 13 percent. Total core deposits increased 6 percent to $13.3 billion, reflecting expansion strategies which emphasize a focus on convenient hours and targeted financial center expansion. Purchased funds decreased 14 percent to $15.9 billion. Average shareholders' equity increased 10 percent in fourth quarter 2006.
The consolidated net interest margin was 2.86 percent for fourth quarter 2006 compared to 3.06 percent for fourth quarter 2005. The compression in the margin occurred as the net interest spread decreased to 2.21 percent in 2006 from 2.52 percent in 2005 while the benefit from free funding increased to 65 basis points from 54 basis points. An inverted yield curve which decreased spread on the warehouse by 82 basis points to 1.24 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 $23.0 million in fourth quarter 2006 from $16.2 million in fourth quarter 2005. This increase primarily reflects continued growth of the commercial and construction loan portfolios and an expectation of slowing economic growth. As a result of this increase, the allowance to loans ratio has increased from 92 basis points in fourth quarter 2005 to 98 basis points in fourth quarter 2006. Nonperforming assets were $139.0 million on December 31, 2006, compared to $79.7 million on December 31, 2005. The nonperforming assets ratio related to the loan portfolio increased to 58 basis points in fourth quarter 2006 from 33 basis points last year. The nonperforming asset ratio continues to migrate from historical low levels due to maturation of the loan portfolio, issues with several commercial credits in the retail commercial bank's traditional lending markets, and deterioration in the residential real estate portfolio reflecting the slow down in the housing market. The net c harge-off ratio increased to 25 basis points in fourth quarter 2006 from 22 basis points in 2005 as net charge-offs grew to $13.5 million from $11.0 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).
OUTLOOK
"Our earnings guidance for 2007 assumes no improvement in the current environment," Ken Glass stated. "We, like most in the industry, believe that the yield curve will remain inverted near its current levels, the housing market and mortgage industry will continue their current contraction, and certain elements of the industry will continue to experience deterioration as the economy slows."
"We have taken steps to address this environment and position ourselves for growth in 2007, including the reduction of support costs in our mortgage origination platform and the implementation of additional efficiency initiatives in capital markets during fourth quarter in order to better align these businesses with the anticipated lower level of activities in their respective markets. Each of these businesses also benefited from restructuring its sales management team, as evidenced by increases in fixed income revenues and mortgage originations in fourth quarter. Since these initiatives were just begun in the fourth quarter, the full impact will be realized throughout 2007."
"In addition to these actions our strategic initiatives will continue to create growth. Our retail/commercial bank will continue to take advantage of our leadership in Tennessee and further cross-sell to our national customers. Capital Markets will continue to build its other products beyond the traditional fixed income market. Other potential revenue opportunities include the acquisition of mortgage originators and the opening of new international fixed income offices. On the expense side we have initiated additional efficiency initiatives that should add $20 million pre-tax earnings in 2007, following the $50 million accomplished in 2006. Finally our hands-on, conservative approach to lending, broad geographic diversity, and strong credit culture should enable our asset quality trends to remain solid relative to historical levels and industry performance."
"2006 was a unique year for the company, as our financial performance was marked by a number of unusual and one time items such as the sale of our merchant business. We recognize that given this, it will be difficult for you to get a good fix on our 2007 earnings. Therefore, we have decided for 2007 to offer more specific guidance."
"For 2007, we expect the company to produce earnings for the full year at or above the current market consensus of $2.80. It is important to note that since the first quarter is impacted by seasonality of expenses and mortgage originations, growth over current levels should improve throughout the year."
