BANCFIRST CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS:BANF) reported net income of $44.7 million, or $1.34 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $48.2 million, or $1.45 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2021. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $80.6 million, or $2.42 per share, compared to $90.7 million, or $2.72 per share, for the first half of 2021.

The Company's net interest income for the second quarter of 2022 increased to $86.9 million from $82.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Rising short term interest rates contributed to the increase. The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.05% and 3.32% a year ago. The margin for the second quarter of 2021 was positively impacted by higher PPP fees, which were $11.9 million compared to $400,000 for the current quarter.  

For the second quarter of 2022 the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $501,000 compared to a net benefit from reversal of provisions of $9.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Provisions for credit losses have stabilized in 2022 after the economic downturn and recovery from the effects of the COVID pandemic.

Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $42.6 million down from $44.6 million last year. The decrease in noninterest income in 2022 was attributable to a purchase gain of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. Total noninterest expense for the current quarter was relatively flat at $73.7 million but included a gain of $3.1 million from the sale of the Company's prior headquarters that was carried in other real estate owned, as well as a write down of an equity investment of $1.5 million.

The Company's effective tax rate was 19.1% compared to 23.4% for the second quarter of 2021. The lower effective tax rate was driven by the exercising of stock options during the quarter that produced higher tax deductions for compensation, and a lower state income tax rate.

At June 30, 2022, the Company's total assets were $12.5 billion compared to $9.4 billion at December 31, 2021. Deposits totaled $11.1 billion, an increase of $3.1 billion from December 31, 2021. The balance sheet growth was driven by the return of customer deposits from off-balance sheet sweep accounts, continued deposit growth and the acquisition of Worthington National Bank. Loans totaled $6.6 billion compared to $6.2 billion at December 31, 2021. Loan growth during the first two quarters of 2022, net of acquired loans and PPP, was $247 million, or 4%. The Company's total stockholders' equity was $1.2 billion, an increase of $14 million over December 31, 2021.

Asset quality remained strong as nonaccrual loans continued to decline, totaling $13.7 million, which represented 0.21% of total loans at June 30, 2022, down from 0.34% at year-end 2021. The allowance for credit losses to total loans stood at 1.31% at June 30, 2022 down from 1.36% at the end of 2021.

BancFirst Corporation CEO David Harlow commented, "The Company performed well in the second quarter with meaningful core margin expansion as a result of the 150 basis points of increase in the fed funds rate since tightening began in March. All eyes continue to be on the Fed and to what degree its policy will be successful in bringing inflation under control without sending the economy into recession. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, the Company is well positioned with a strong capital base, a credit culture that has outperformed through various cycles, and an Oklahoma/DFW footprint positioned for long-term, sustainable growth."

BancFirst Corporation (the Company) is an Oklahoma based financial services holding company. The Company operates three subsidiary banks, BancFirst, an Oklahoma state-chartered bank with 107 banking locations serving 59 communities across Oklahoma, Pegasus Bank, with three banking locations in Dallas, TX and Worthington National Bank with one location in Arlington, Texas, one location in Colleyville, Texas and two Fort Worth, Texas locations.
