Allowance for Credit Losses | Allowance for Credit Losses Management's estimate of expected credit losses in the loan and lease portfolios is recorded in the ALLL and the RULC, collectively the ACL. The ALLL and the RULC are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in the allowance for loan and lease losses and in other liabilities, respectively. Provision for credit losses related to the loans and leases portfolio and the unfunded lending commitments are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income as provision for credit losses. The ACL is maintained at a level management believes to be appropriate to absorb expected lifetime credit losses over the contractual life of the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded lending commitments. The determination of the ACL is based on periodic evaluation of the loan and lease portfolios and unfunded lending commitments considering a number of relevant underlying factors, including key assumptions and evaluation of quantitative and qualitative information. In accordance with its accounting policy elections, FHN does not recognize a separate allowance for expected credit losses for AIR and records reversals of AIR as reductions of interest income. FHN reverses previously accrued but uncollected interest when an asset is placed on nonaccrual status. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FHN recognized approximately $1 million in allowance for expected credit losses on COVID-19 deferrals that do not qualify for the election which is not reflected in the table below. AIR and the related allowance for expected credit losses is included as a component of other assets. The total amount of interest reversals from loans placed on nonaccrual status and the amount of income recognized on nonaccrual loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were not material. Expected credit losses for unfunded commitments are estimated for periods where the commitment is not unconditionally cancellable. The measurement of expected credit losses for unfunded commitments mirrors that of loans and leases with the additional estimate of future draw rates (timing and amount). The decrease in the ACL as of September 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 reflects an improvement in the macroeconomic outlook, positive grade migration, and lower loan balances. In developing credit loss estimates for its loan and lease portfolios, FHN utilized multiple Moody’s scenarios for its macroeconomic inputs. Each scenario included assumptions around the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on various sections of the economy. The heaviest weight was placed on the baseline forecast, which assumed positive real GDP growth over the forecast horizon and return to full employment by year-end 2022. As there can be no certainty that actual economic performance will precisely follow any specific macroeconomic forecast, FHN also evaluated other macroeconomic forecasts provided by Moody’s and adjusted the modeled outputs through a qualitative adjustment to account for uncertainties inherent in the macroeconomic forecast process. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021, FHN also considered stressed loan portfolios or industries that are most exposed to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and added qualitative adjustments, where needed, to account for the risks not captured in modeled results. Management also made qualitative adjustments to reflect estimated recoveries based on a review of prior charge off and recovery levels, for default risk associated with large balances with individual borrowers, for estimated loss amounts not reflected in historical factors due to specific portfolio risk, and for instances where limited data for acquired loans is considered to affect modeled results. The following table provides a rollforward of the ALLL and RULC by portfolio type for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:
