BancFirst Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter Earnings

January 19, 2017 1:38 PM EST

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS: BANF) reported net income of $18.6 million, or $1.16 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to net income of $15.7 million, or $0.99 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $70.7 million, or $4.44 diluted earnings per share, compared to $66.2 million, or $4.17 diluted earnings per share, for 2015.

The Company's net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased to $51.6 million compared to $50.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.19% compared to 3.23% a year ago. Internal loan growth and acquired loans from our October 2015 acquisition contributed to the higher net interest income in 2016. The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2016 decreased to $1.7 million compared to $3.6 million a year ago. The larger provision in the fourth quarter of 2015 was due to downgrades of commercial loans. Net charge-offs for the quarter were 0.02% of average loans, compared to 0.07% for the fourth quarter of 2015.  Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $27.4 million, compared to $26.5 million last year.  Noninterest expense for the quarter totaled $48.2 million compared to $49.0 million last year.

For the year ended 2016, the Company's net interest income was $203.8 million compared to $188.8 million for 2015. The net interest margin for the year increased to 3.25% compared to 3.12% for the previous year. Internal loan growth, acquired loans from our October 2015 acquisition and the increase in the Fed Fund rate of 25 basis points during the 4th quarter of 2015 contributed to the higher net interest income and margin in 2016. The provision for loan losses for 2016 was $11.5 million compared to $7.7 million a year ago. The increase in the provision was largely due to loan downgrades in the oil and gas service industry during the year. However, those loans have not yet resulted in write downs as the Company reported lower net charge-offs to average loans of 0.10% for 2016 compared to 0.17% for 2015. Noninterest income for 2016 totaled $107.0 million compared to $105.8 million for 2015. Noninterest expense was $191.4 million compared to $185.7 million for 2015. The Company's effective tax rate was 34.52% compared to 34.62% for 2015.

At December 31, 2016, the Company's total assets were $7.0 billion, an increase of 4.9% from December 31, 2015.  Loans totaled $4.4 billion, up $163.8 million from December 31, 2015. Deposits totaled $6.2 billion up $274.7 million from December 31, 2015 totals. The Company's total stockholders' equity was $711.1 million, an increase of $55.6 million, or 8.5%, over December 31, 2015.

Asset quality remained solid during the fourth quarter of 2016.  Nonperforming and restructured assets were 0.56% of total assets at December 31, 2016 compared to 0.83% at December 31, 2015. The decrease in nonperforming and restructured assets was largely due to one relationship that was removed from a troubled debt restructuring status due to sustained improvement in financial condition, performance, and the commercially reasonable nature of its structure. Sales of other real estate owned also contributed to the decrease in nonperforming assets. The allowance to total loans was 1.10% compared to 0.98% at year-end 2015. The allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans was 137.3% compared to 88.5% at year-end 2015.
