BancFirst Corporation Reports Third Quarter Earnings


OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS:BANF) reported net income of $33.4 million, or $1.00 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2019 compared to net income of $32.9 million, or $0.98 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2018. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $99.4 million, or $2.98 per share, compared to $93.1 million, or $2.78 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. On August 15, 2019 the Company completed the acquisition of Pegasus Bank in Dallas, Texas. As a result, the third quarter of 2019 included one-time acquisition related expenses of approximately $3.1 million, which reduced diluted earnings per share by approximately 7 cents for the quarter and the year. On January 11, 2018 the Company completed the acquisitions of two Oklahoma banking corporations. Consequently, the first nine months of 2018 included one-time acquisition related expenses of approximately $2.6 million, which reduced diluted earnings per share by approximately 6 cents.

The Company's net interest income for the third quarter of 2019 increased to $72.3 million compared to $65.7 million for the third quarter of 2018. The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.89% compared to 3.68% a year ago. The increase in margin was primarily due to the higher average federal funds rate in the third quarter of 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018. The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2019 was $2.8 million compared to $747,000 a year ago. The increase in provision was primarily due to downgrades of a few commercial loans. Net charge-offs for the full year of 2019 were 0.05% of average loans compared to 0.04% of average loans in 2018. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2019 were 0.04% of average loans compared to 0.02% of average loans in 2018. Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $35.6 million, compared to $32.8 million last year. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to growth in debit card usage fees and sweep fees. Noninterest expense for the quarter totaled $62.2 million compared to $55.8 million last year. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to salary increases in 2019 and acquisition related expenses.

At September 30, 2019, the Company's total assets were $8.4 billion, an increase of $814.6 million from December 31, 2018. Securities of $555.6 million were down $216.6 million from December 31, 2018. Loans totaled $5.6 billion, an increase of $638.7 million from December 31, 2018. Deposits totaled $7.3 billion, an increase of $725.2 million from the December 31, 2018 total. The Company's total stockholders' equity was $979.8 million, an increase of $77.0 million over December 31, 2018.

On August 15, 2019, BancFirst Corporation acquired Pegasus Bank ("Pegasus"), for an aggregate cash purchase price of $123.5 million. Pegasus is a Texas state-chartered bank with three banking locations in Dallas, Texas. Upon acquisition, Pegasus had approximately $651.1 million in total assets, $389.9 million in loans, and $603.9 million in deposits. The Bank will continue to operate as "Pegasus Bank" under a separate Texas state-charter and remain an independent subsidiary of BancFirst Corporation. BancFirst Corporation intends to provide an appropriate amount of capital to increase Pegasus Bank's ability to approve larger loans and allow Pegasus to continue to grow their assets.

Asset quality remained strong during the third quarter of 2019. Nonperforming and restructured assets represented 0.67% of total assets at September 30, 2019, virtually unchanged from the prior year. The allowance to total loans was 0.99% down slightly from 1.03% at year-end 2018. The allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans was 114.06% compared to 136.29% at year-end 2018.

BancFirst Corporation CEO David Harlow commented, "The Company reported strong results in the third quarter. Asset quality remained solid and our margin was stable despite the two 25 bps Fed Funds decreases during the quarter. We are pleased to have closed the previously announced Pegasus acquisition during the quarter and look forward to the growth opportunities the Dallas market provides the Company going forward."

BancFirst Corporation (the Company) is an Oklahoma based financial services holding company. The Company operates two subsidiary banks, BancFirst, is Oklahoma's largest state-chartered bank with 108 banking locations serving 58 communities across Oklahoma, and Pegasus Bank, with 3 banking locations in Dallas, TX.

(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.
