OKLAHOMA
CITY, Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst
Corporation (NASDAQ GS:BANF) reported net income of $58.9 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, for the third quarter of
2024 compared to net income of $51.0
million, or $1.52 per diluted
share, for the third quarter of 2023.
The Company's net interest income for the third quarter of 2024
increased to $115.0 million from
$104.3 million for the same period in
2023. Loan volume was the primary driver of the change in net
interest income, but was partially offset by the impact of the
shifting mix between interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing
deposits. Net interest margin for the three-month period ended
September 30 was 3.78% in 2024
compared to 3.73% in 2023. The Company recorded a provision for
credit losses of $3.0 million in the
third quarter of 2024 compared to $2.3
million for the same period in 2023.
Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $48.7 million compared to $44.4 million last year. Trust revenue, treasury
income, sweep fees and insurance commissions each increased when
compared to third quarter last year.
Noninterest expense for the quarter increased to $86.7 million compared to $81.2 million in the same quarter last year. The
increase in noninterest expense was primarily related to growth in
salaries and employee benefits of $4.0
million.
The Company's effective tax rate for the period was 20.3%
compared to 21.8% for the third quarter of 2023.
At September 30, 2024, the
Company's total assets were $13.3
billion, an increase of $941.4
million from December 31,
2023. Loans grew $528.1
million from December 31,
2023, totaling $8.2 billion at
September 30, 2024. Deposits totaled
$11.5 billion, an increase of
$774.2 million from year-end 2023.
Sweep accounts totaled $4.3 billion
at September 30, 2024, down
$60.6 million from December 31, 2023. The Company's total
stockholders' equity was $1.6
billion, an increase of $150.7
million over December 31,
2023.
Nonaccrual loans totaled $45.5
million, representing 0.56% of total loans at September 30, 2024 compared to 0.32% at year-end
2023. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.24%
at September 30, 2024 compared to
1.26% at the end of 2023. Net charge-offs were $775,000 for the quarter compared to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2023.
BancFirst Corporation CEO David
Harlow commented, "Loan growth, an improved net interest
margin, and growth across all major components of non-interest
income resulted in a strong quarter for the Company. While the
Federal Reserve's late September 50 basis point rate cut had little
impact on the quarter, the potential for further short-term rate
reductions combined with a recent increase in the longer-term
portion of the yield curve changes the landscape considerably and
causes our outlook on net interest margin to be
unclear. However, we believe the Company is well positioned to
reasonably manage and balance our asset and liability pricing in
the coming months. Our perspective on credit is unchanged as
the Federal Reserve's goal of a "soft landing," while more likely,
is far from certain, thus our Loan Loss Reserve as a percentage of
loans is the same when compared to last quarter."

(1) Refer to the
"Reconciliation of Tangible Book Value per Common Share (non-GAAP)"
Table.
|
(2) Tangible book value per
common share is stockholders' equity less goodwill and intangible
assets, net, divided by common shares outstanding. This amount is a
non-GAAP
financial measure but has been included as it is considered to be a
critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate the financial
condition and capital strength of the Company.
This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating
results determined in accordance with GAAP.

(3) Government Agencies
guarantee approximately $7.5 million of nonaccrual loans at
September 30, 2024.
