BancFirst Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter Earnings
OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS: BANF) reported net income of $15.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, up from $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Diluted earnings per share was $0.99 compared to $0.88 for the same quarter of the prior year. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $63.9 million, up from $54.3 million for 2013. Diluted earnings per share for the year was $4.04 compared to $3.49 for 2013.
The Company's net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $47.3 million compared to $41.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The net interest margin for the quarter increased to 3.14% compared to 3.00% for the same period of the previous year, despite interest rates remaining at historically low levels. Loan growth, higher average securities balances, and additional interest income from an acquisition in the first quarter all contributed to the higher net interest income and margin. The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter was $1.8 million compared to $454,000 a year ago. The Company reported net charge-offs to average loans for the fourth quarter of 0.01% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013. Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $24.3 million compared to $22.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Noninterest expense was $46.9 million compared to $43.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.
For the year ended 2014, the Company's net interest income was $181.4 million compared to $163.5 million for 2013. The net interest margin for the year increased to 3.09% compared to 3.04% for the previous year. Loan growth and recognition of $2.2 million of discounts from payoffs of acquired loans contributed to the higher net interest income and margin. The provision for loan losses for 2014 was $3.1 million compared to $1.3 million a year ago. As previously disclosed, the 2014 provision for loan losses included a reversal of $5.3 million as a result of a change in the loan loss factors. The Company reported net charge-offs to average loans of 0.03% for both 2014 and 2013. Noninterest income for 2014 totaled $96.4 million compared to $90.2 million for 2013. Noninterest expense was $183.5 million compared to $171.6 million for 2013. The effective income tax rate for 2014 decreased to 29.93% compared to 32.81% for 2013, primarily due to an investment in federal and state tax credits.
At December 31, 2014, the Company's total assets were $6.6 billion, up $536.0 million, or 8.9%, from $6.0 billion at December 31, 2013. Loans totaled $3.9 billion, up $473.7 million from December 31, 2013. Deposits totaled $5.9 billion, up $485.2 million. The Company's total stockholders' equity was $609.3 million, an increase of $52.3 million, or 9.4%, over December 31, 2013.
The Company's asset quality remained strong. Nonperforming and restructured assets were 0.64% of total assets at December 31, 2014 compared to 0.69% at December 31, 2013. The allowance to total loans was 1.06% compared to 1.15% at year end 2013.
CEO David Rainbolt commented, "We saw record earnings in 2014, and loan growth was a major driver. With energy prices at much lower levels, I suspect growth will be tougher to come by in Oklahoma during 2015."
During the quarter, BancFirst was ranked as 10th best among the nation's largest banks, according to an evaluation by Forbes Magazine. BancFirst was the smallest of the financial institutions to make the Forbes rankings.
As previously reported, 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") from the FDIC.
