BancFirst Corporation Reports First Quarter Earnings

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS:BANF) reported net income of $22.1 million, or $1.36 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2017 compared to net income of $16.6 million, or $1.05 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2016. Net income for the quarter included the effects of favorable resolutions of two problem loans which resulted in principal recovery of $894,000 and interest income of $2.3 million.

The Company's net interest income for the first quarter of 2017 increased to $54.8 million compared to $50.0 million for the first quarter of 2016. The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.39% compared to 3.25% a year ago. The increase in margin was primarily due to the previously mentioned interest of $2.3 million, which added 0.14% to the margin, and the increase in the federal funds rate. The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2017 decreased to $72,000 compared to $4.1 million a year ago. The decrease in the provision was due in part to the resolution of the above-mentioned problem loans and an unusually high provision for a few commercial loans in the prior year. Net charge-offs for the quarter were 0.02% of average loans, compared to 0.03% for the first quarter of 2016. Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $28.1 million, compared to $25.6 million last year. Noninterest expense for the quarter totaled $49.6 million compared to $46.3 million last year. The increase in noninterest expense was due to salary increases in 2017 and $1.2 million in gains on the sale of other real estate owned that reduced expenses in 2016. The Company's effective tax rate was 33.6% compared to 34.2% for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to a change in accounting standards related to stock based compensation.

At March 31, 2017, the Company's total assets were $7.2 billion, an increase of $170.7 million from December 31, 2016. Securities of $463.3 million and loans of $4.4 billion were both down slightly from December 31, 2016. Deposits totaled $6.4 billion, an increase of $146.6 million from December 31, 2016 total. The Company's total stockholders' equity was $729.9 million, an increase of $18.8 million over December 31, 2016.

Asset quality remained strong during the first quarter of 2017. Nonperforming and restructured assets fell to 0.45% of total assets at March 31, 2017 compared to 0.56% at December 31, 2016. The decrease in nonperforming and restructured assets was largely due to the resolution of the aforementioned two problem loans during the quarter. The allowance to total loans was 1.09% compared to 1.10% at year-end 2016. The allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans was 171.6% compared to 137.3% at year-end 2016.

CEO David Rainbolt commented, "Our results this quarter provided great optics in absolute terms. However, even absent the favorable outcome in nonperforming loans, it was still a sound performance."
