BancFirst Corporation Reports First Quarter Earnings

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS: BANF) reported net income of $14.7 million, or $0.94 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2014 compared to net income of $13.4 million, or $0.86 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2013.

The Company's net interest income for the first quarter of 2014 increased to $42.0 million compared to $40.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, due to higher volume of earning assets. The net interest margin for the quarter was 2.98% compared to 3.08% a year ago, as interest rates have remained at historically low levels. The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2014 increased to $1.2 million compared to $300,000 a year ago, primarily due to loan growth during the quarter. Net charge-offs for the quarter were only 0.01% of average loans, which was the same as for the first quarter of 2013. Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $23.6 million, compared to $22.5 million last year. Noninterest expense for the quarter totaled $43.8 million compared to $41.9 million last year. During the first quarter of 2014, increases in salaries and benefits, primarily due to the impact of standard annual merit increases, were substantially offset by lower than anticipated health care costs of approximately $950,000. The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 28.6% compared to 34.9% for the first quarter of 2013, due primarily to the recognition of state deferred tax benefits.

At March 31, 2014, the Company's total assets were $6.4 billion, up $336.1 million, or 5.6%, from $6.0 billion at December 31, 2013. Securities increased $59.4 million to a total of $587 million. Loans totaled $3.5 billion, up $155.1 million from December 31, 2013. Deposits totaled $5.7 billion, up $318.3 million. The Company's total stockholders' equity was $568.1 million, an increase of $11.1 million, or 2.0%, over December 31, 2013.

Asset quality remained strong and was little changed from the previous quarters. Nonperforming and restructured assets were 0.69% of total assets, consistent with December 31, 2013. The allowance to total loans was 1.13% compared to 1.15% at year end 2013.

On January 24, 2014, BancFirst, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BancFirst Corporation, assumed all of the deposits and purchased certain assets of The Bank of Union, El Reno, Oklahoma ("The Bank of Union"). The Bank of Union was closed on that day by the Oklahoma State Banking Department. At March 31, 2014, the acquired bank had approximately $98 million of loans, the majority of which are classified as performing, and deposits of approximately $231 million.

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.
