First Horizon Bank (FDIC cert 4977) is a large bank with $81.9B in total assets and $65.4B in deposits, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. Banks at this scale typically operate across multiple states and face enhanced regulatory scrutiny under the federal banking-supervisory framework.

Capital position is adequate: Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.31% meets the 8% well-capitalized threshold but does not provide substantial buffer above it. Adequate capital is regulatory-acceptable but leaves less room for absorbing unexpected losses. Asset quality is normal: non-performing loan ratio of 0.94% sits in the typical 0.5-2% range for healthy U.S. banks. Some NPL is unavoidable in any meaningful lending portfolio. Liquidity is thin: 14.3% liquid-asset ratio. Banks with thin liquidity buffers can face stress during deposit-outflow events or asset-quality shocks.

Profitability is solid: ROA of 1.42% sits at or near the 1% benchmark for healthy U.S. banks. Net interest income, fee income, and operating efficiency are all in workable shape. Health-score trend is mildly negative across recent quarters. Mild declines can reflect either specific quarterly events (large one-time provisions, deposit shifts) or the early stages of broader pressure. First Horizon Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of B (66/100) as of the 2024-06 Call Report filing. The grade combines capital ratios (Tier 1), asset quality (non-performing loans), liquidity, and profitability into a single signal.
