BANCFIRST CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS: BANF) reported net income of $67.3 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $62.7 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025.
The Company's net interest income for the three-months ending September 30, 2026 increased to $136.0 million from $125.6 million for the same period in 2025. Higher loan volume and general growth in earning assets were the primary drivers of the change in net interest income. Net interest margin was 3.85% for the third quarter of 2026 compared to 3.79% for the third quarter of 2025. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.1 million and $4.4 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $51.4 million compared to $49.9 million for the same quarter last year. Service charges on deposits and treasury income each increased when compared to third quarter of 2025.
Noninterest expense grew to $98.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 compared to $92.1 million in the same quarter in 2025. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to the growth in salaries and employee benefits of $4.1 million.
At September 30, 2026, the Company's total assets were $15.0 billion, an increase of $182.3 million from December 31, 2025. Loans grew $187.9 million from December 31, 2025, totaling $8.7 billion at September 30, 2026. Deposits totaled $12.7 billion, an increase of $29.3 million from year-end 2025. Sweep accounts totaled $4.7 billion at the end of the third quarter, down $282.5 million from December 31, 2025. The Company's stockholders' equity stood at $2.0 billion, an increase of $142.9 million from the end of 2025.
Nonaccrual loans represented 0.87% of total loans at September 30, 2026, up from 0.72% at year-end 2025. Nonaccrual loans totaled $75.6 million at the end of the third quarter 2026; one commercial loan was the primary driver of the nonaccrual loans balance. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.23% at September 30, 2026 and 1.22% at December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs totaled $4.0 million for the quarter compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter last year. Of the $4.0 million net charge-offs for the quarter, $1.8 million was related to purchased credit deteriorated loans. At acquisition, the Company identified these loans as credit deteriorated and recorded reserves for expected credit losses. These loans performed in line with expectations subsequent to acquisition.
BancFirst Corporation CEO David Harlow commented, "Earnings for the quarter were strong, driven by growth in earning assets, a sustained margin, year-over-year growth in non-interest income combined with expenses in line with plan. Capital levels remain strong and the allowance for credit losses is ample – both at levels necessary to support the Company through future economic cycles. Asset quality metrics are stable and charge-offs remain in line with historical levels. While business development pipelines are encouraging, we expect higher interest rates and a higher-for-longer rate outlook to have a dampening effect on future economic activity. Our previously announced acquisition of Tulsa-based Spirit Bank is on schedule to close in October."
