First Horizon Corporation on Thursday reported financial results for the third quarter of a net loss available to common shareholders of $94 million or loss per share of $0.20. These results reflect the impact of strategic actions to further align the balance sheet with the Company's growth priorities. During the quarter, the company began evaluating the possibility of selling ~$4.5 billion of select lower yielding consumer mortgages and, in early October, entered into an agreement to sell these mortgages. This transaction will be accretive to earnings on a go forward basis and will provide balance sheet flexibility to support future loan growth. The transaction is expected to settle early in the fourth quarter.

Excluding notable items, adjusted earnings per share for third quarter 2026 was $0.53, down $0.01 from second quarter 2026 and up $0.02 from third quarter 2025. Reported results include the impacts of notable items totaling $0.73 per share, or $347 million after tax, primarily related to the reclassification of targeted mortgage loans to held for sale in relation to the pending mortgage portfolio sale.

"This quarter's results are a testament to our disciplined approach and clear strategic priorities," said Bryan Jordan, chairman, president and CEO of First Horizon Corporation. "Average client deposit balances increased $1.3 billion in the quarter, and we continue to focus on growing and maintaining full client relationships and deploying capital where it best serves long-term value creation. Looking ahead, we remain committed to executing our strategy and delivering sustainable growth and value for our clients, associates, and shareholders."
