BancFirst Corporation Reports Second Quarter Earnings

July 16, 2015 4:45 PM EDT

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS: BANF) reported net income of $18.6 million, or $1.17 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to net income of $14.7 million, or $0.92 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2014. Net income for the year to-date was $34.8 million, or $2.20 per share, compared to $29.3 million, or $1.86 per share, for the first half of 2014.

The Company's net interest income for the second quarter of 2015 increased to $46.2 million compared to $45.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, due to higher volume of earning assets. The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.07% compared to 3.10% a year ago. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2015 decreased to $1.3 million compared to $3.1 million a year ago. The higher provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2014 was due in part to an additional $2 million allowance for a single commercial loan that was adversely graded during the quarter.  Net charge-offs for the quarter were only 0.01% of average loans, compared to net recoveries of 0.01% for the second quarter of 2014.  Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $28.7 million, compared to $23.6 million last year.  Noninterest income increased due to the Company recording a gain from the sale of an investment by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Council Oak Partners, LLC, of approximately $5.3 million.  Noninterest expense for the quarter totaled $45.4 million compared to $45.9 million last year. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of approximately $368,000, which is included in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2015. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 34.3% compared to 27.0% for the second quarter of 2014, due primarily to tax credits purchased in 2014 that lowered the effective tax rate.

At June 30, 2015, the Company's total assets were $6.5 billion, largely unchanged from December 31, 2014. Securities increased $12.5 million to a total of $537.3 million.  Loans totaled $3.8 billion, a slight increase from December 31, 2014.  Deposits totaled $5.8 billion, virtually flat from December 31, 2014. The Company's total stockholders' equity was $634.2 million, an increase of $24.9 million, or 4.1%, over December 31, 2014.

Asset quality remained strong during the second quarter of 2015.  Nonperforming and restructured assets were 0.87% of total assets at June 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 1.10% compared to 1.06% at year-end 2014.

On July 14, 2015, BancFirst announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire CSB Bancshares Inc. and its subsidiary bank, Bank of Commerce, with locations in Yukon, Mustang, and El Reno, Oklahoma.  Bank of Commerce has approximately $202 million in total assets, $139 million in loans, $180 million in deposits, and $21 million in equity capital. The transaction is scheduled to be completed during October 2015, and is subject to regulatory approval. 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.
