BancFirst Corporation Reports Third Quarter Earnings

October 15, 2015 4:30 PM EDT

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS: BANF) reported net income of $15.6 million, or $0.98 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to net income of $18.8 million, or $1.19 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2014. Net income for the year to-date was $50.4 million, or $3.18 diluted earnings per share, compared to $48.1 million, or $3.05 diluted earnings per share, for the first nine months of 2014.

The Company's net interest income for the third quarter of 2015 was $46.9 million compared to $46.5 million for the third quarter of 2014. The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.12% compared to 3.13% a year ago. The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2015 was $1.4 million compared to negative $3.1 million a year ago.  The negative provision in 2014 was due to a release of $5.31 million of loan loss reserves, partially offset by a $1.36 million increase in the specific loss reserves for existing adversely classified loans. Net charge-offs for the quarter were 0.08% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of 0.02% for the third quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs increased in 2015 due to a $2.1 million charge off on a portion of a nonaccrual loan.  Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $25.3 million, compared to $24.9 million last year.  Noninterest expense for the quarter totaled $46.4 million compared to $46.9 million last year. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 36.0% compared to 32.0% for the third quarter of 2014, due primarily to tax credits that lowered the effective tax rate in 2014.

At September 30, 2015, the Company's total assets were $6.4 billion, down $168.9 million or 2.6% from December 31, 2014. Securities decreased $16.9 million to a total of $507.9 million. Loans totaled $4.0 billion, up $111.2 million or 2.9% from December 31, 2014. Deposits totaled $5.7 billion, down $206.1 million or 3.5% from December 31, 2014. The Company's total stockholders' equity was $646.1 million, an increase of $36.7 million, or 6.0%, over December 31, 2014.

Asset quality remained strong during the third quarter of 2015.  Nonperforming and restructured assets were 0.87% of total assets at September 30, 2015 compared to 0.64% at December 31, 2014. During the second quarter the Company's nonaccrual loans increased due to the downgrade of a single commercial loan. The allowance to total loans was 1.03% compared to 1.06% at year-end 2014.

Subsequent to September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a gain on sale of securities of $2.1 million, related to warrants associated with a loan transaction, which will be included in fourth quarter earnings.

On October 8, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of CSB Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary bank, Bank of Commerce, with locations in Yukon, Mustang, and El Reno, Oklahoma.  Bank of Commerce has approximately $196 million in total assets, $148 million in loans, $170 million in deposits, and $22 million in equity capital. The bank will operate under its present name until it is merged into BancFirst, which is expected to be during the fourth quarter of 2015.

BancFirst Corporation is an Oklahoma based financial services holding company.  The Company's principal subsidiary bank, BancFirst, is Oklahoma's largest state-chartered bank with 95 banking locations serving 52 communities across Oklahoma. More information can be found at www.bancfirst.com.
