NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of BancFirst Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and general practice within the banking industry. A summary of significant accounting policies can be found in Note (1) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BancFirst Corporation, Council Oak Partners, LLC, BFC-PNC LLC, BancFirst Insurance Services, Inc., Pegasus Bank ("Pegasus"), Worthington Bank ("Worthington") and BancFirst and its subsidiaries ("BancFirst"). The principal operating subsidiaries of BancFirst are BFTower, LLC and BancFirst Agency, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information contained in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in BancFirst Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contained herein reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States inherently involves the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the related disclosures. These estimates relate principally to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, income taxes, the fair value of financial instruments and the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including identifiable intangible assets. Such estimates and assumptions may change over time and actual amounts realized may differ from those reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Not Yet Adopted:
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB“) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” requiring disclosure of certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” requiring enhancements and further transparency to certain income tax disclosures, most notably the tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

There were no sales of debt securities and therefore no proceeds from sales or realized securities gains or losses on available for sale debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or March 31, 2024.
Realized gains or losses on debt and equity securities are reported as securities transactions within the noninterest income section of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The Company has the ability and intent to hold the debt securities classified as held for investment until they mature, at which time the Company will receive full value for the debt securities. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company also had the ability and intent to hold the debt securities classified as available for sale for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying debt securities were purchased. The fair value of those debt securities having unrealized losses is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. The Company has no intent or requirement to sell before the recovery of the unrealized loss; therefore, no impairment loss was realized in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

(1) Excludes accrued interest receivable of $40.4 million at March 31, 2025 and $40.9 million at December 31, 2024, that is recorded in accrued interest receivable and other assets.
The Company's loans are currently 83% held by BancFirst and 17% held by Pegasus and Worthington. In addition, approximately 71% of the Company's loans are secured by real estate. Credit risk on loans is managed through limits on amounts loaned to individual and related borrowers, underwriting standards and loan monitoring procedures. The amounts and types of collateral obtained, if any, to secure loans are based upon the Company’s underwriting standards and management’s credit evaluation. Collateral varies, but may include real estate, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, livestock and/or securities. The Company’s interest in collateral is secured through filing mortgages and liens, or by possession of the collateral.
The Company's portfolio segment descriptions and the weighted average remaining life of portfolio segments are disclosed in Note (5) to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, other real estate owned included a commercial real estate property recorded at approximately $29.5 million and $28.1 million, respectively. The increase in OREO and this commercial real estate property was due to tenant improvements during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Rental income for this property is included in other noninterest income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Operating expense for this property is included in net expense from other real estate owned in noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
This property had the following rental income and operating expenses for the periods presented.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold property held in other real estate owned for a total gain of $25,000, compared to a total gain of $177,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The Company charges interest on principal balances outstanding on modified loans during deferral periods. The current and future financial effects of the recorded balance of loans considered to be modified during the period were not considered to be material. The recorded balance of loans modified during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $1.9 million compared to $14.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Nonaccrual loans
The Company did not recognize any interest income on nonaccrual loans for either the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024. In addition, all loans identified as nonaccrual loans have related allowances for credit losses at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Had nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original contractual terms, the Company would have recognized additional interest income of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and approximately $696,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Nonaccrual loans guaranteed by government agencies totaled approximately $9.2 million at March 31, 2025 and approximately $9.0 million at December 31, 2024.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company considers credit quality indicators to monitor the credit risk in the loan portfolio including volume and severity of loan delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, internal grading of loans, historical credit loss experience and economic conditions. These indicators are reviewed and updated regularly throughout the year. An internal risk grading system is used to indicate the credit risk of loans. The loan grades used by the Company are for internal risk identification purposes and do not directly correlate to regulatory classification categories or any financial reporting definitions. The general characteristics of the risk grades and the table summarizing the Company’s gross loans held for investment by year of origination and internally assigned credit grades as of December 31, 2024, are disclosed in Note (5) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company’s revolving loans that are converted to term loans are not material and therefore have not been presented.

Allowance for Credit Losses Methodology
The Company determines its provision for credit losses and allowance for credit losses using the current expected credit loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The allowance for current expected credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The allowance for credit losses methodology is disclosed in Note (5) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The following tables detail activity in the allowance for credit losses on loans for the periods presented. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans
The Company has previously purchased loans, for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of more than insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination. The Company did not purchase credit-deteriorated loans during the three month period ended March 31, 2025 or March 31, 2024.
Collateral Dependent Loans
A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no material amount of interest income was recognized on collateral-dependent loans subsequent to their classification as collateral-dependent. The following tables summarize collateral-dependent gross loans held for investment by collateral type and the related specific allocation as follows:

(5) SUBORDINATED DEBT
In January 2004, the Company established BFC Capital Trust II (“BFC II”), a trust formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act. The Company owns all of the common securities of BFC II. In February 2004, BFC II issued $25 million of aggregate liquidation amount of 7.20% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities (the “Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities”) to other investors. In March 2004, BFC II issued an additional $1 million in Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities through the execution of an over-allotment option. The proceeds from the sale of the Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities and the common securities of BFC II were invested in $26.8 million of 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company. Interest payments on the $26.8 million of 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures are payable January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. Such interest payments may be deferred for up to twenty consecutive quarters. The stated maturity date of the $26.8 million of 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures is March 31, 2034, but they are subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to optional prepayment terms. The Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities represent an undivided interest in the $26.8 million of 7.20% Junior Subordinated Debentures and are guaranteed by the Company. During any deferral period or during any event of default, the Company may not declare or pay any dividends on any of its capital stock. The Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities have been callable at par, in whole or in part, since March 31, 2009.
On June 17, 2021, the Company completed a private placement, under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, of $60 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036 (the “Subordinated Notes”) to various institutional accredited investors. The sale of the Subordinated Notes was pursuant to a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement entered into with each of the investors. The Subordinated Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital under bank regulatory guidelines. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Subordinated Notes were approximately $59.15 million net of commissions and offering expenses. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the Subordinated Notes for general corporate purposes. The Subordinated Notes initially bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.50% per annum, from and including June 17, 2021 to but excluding June 30, 2031, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing December 31, 2021. Then, from and including June 30, 2031, to but excluding the maturity date, the Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the benchmark (initially, three-month term SOFR), reset quarterly, plus a spread of 229 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The Subordinated Notes mature on June 30, 2036.
The Company may, at its option, beginning with the interest payment date of June 30, 2031, and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part. In addition, the Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Subordinated Notes at any time upon the occurrence of a “Tier 2 Capital Event,” a “Tax Event” or an “Investment Company Event” (each as defined in the Subordinated Notes). Any such redemption is subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or its designee). The redemption price with respect to any such redemption will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Note, or portion thereof, to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.
(6) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On May 25, 2023, the shareholders of the Company adopted the BancFirst Corporation 2023 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the "RSU Plan"). The RSU Plan was effective as of June 1, 2023 and for a period of ten years thereafter. The RSU Plan will continue in effect after such ten-year period until all matters relating to the payment of awards and administration of the RSU Plan have been settled. At March 31, 2025 there were 453,175 shares available for future grants. The restricted stock units ("RSU's") vest beginning two years from the date of grant at the rate of 20% per year for five years. The RSU's are settled and distributed as of each vesting date. The fair value of each RSU granted is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.
The following table is a summary of the activity under the Company's RSU plan.

The Company has had the BancFirst Corporation Directors’ Deferred Stock Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Stock Compensation Plan”) since May 1999. As of March 31, 2025, there are 33,528 shares available for future issuance under the Deferred Stock Compensation Plan. The Deferred Stock Compensation Plan will terminate on December 31, 2030, if not extended. Under the plan, directors and members of the community advisory boards of the Company and its subsidiaries may defer up to 100% of their board fees. They are credited for each deferral with a number of stock units based on the current market price of the Company’s stock, which accumulate in an account until such time as the director or community board member terminates serving as a board member. Shares of common stock of the Company are then distributed to the terminating director or community board member based upon the number of stock units accumulated in his or her account. There were 4,045 and 5,022 shares of common stock distributed from the Deferred Stock Compensation Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
A summary of the accumulated stock units under the Deferred Stock Compensation Plan is as follows:

The Company terminated the BancFirst Corporation Stock Option Plan (the “Employee Plan”) on June 1, 2023. The remaining options will continue to vest and are exercisable beginning four years from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years, and expire no later than the end of fifteen years from the date of grant.
The Company terminated the BancFirst Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Non-Employee Directors’ Plan”) on June 1, 2023. The remaining options will continue to vest and are exercisable beginning one year from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years, and expire no later than the end of fifteen years from the date of grant.

(7) STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company has adopted a Stock Repurchase Program (the “SRP”). The SRP may be used as a means to increase earnings per share and return on equity. In addition, the SRP may be used to purchase treasury stock for the exercise of stock options or for distributions under the Deferred Stock Compensation Plan, to provide liquidity for optionees to dispose of stock from exercises of their stock options and to provide liquidity for stockholders wishing to sell their stock. All shares repurchased under the SRP have been
retired and not held as treasury stock. The timing, price and amount of stock repurchases under the SRP is determined by management and approved by the Company’s Executive Committee.
The following table is a summary of the shares under the SRP:

(9) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
A description of the valuation methodologies and key inputs used to measure financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to the following categories of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities.
Debt Securities Available for Sale
Debt securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value. U.S. Treasuries are valued using Level 1 inputs. Other debt securities available for sale including U.S. federal agencies, registered mortgage backed debt securities and state and political subdivisions are valued using prices from an independent pricing service utilizing Level 2 data. The fair value measurements consider
observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and a bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The Company also invests in private label mortgage backed debt securities for which observable information is not readily available. These debt securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs. For these debt securities, management determines the fair value based on replacement cost, the income approach or information provided by outside consultants or lead investors. Discount rates are primarily based on reference to interest rate spreads on comparable debt securities of similar duration and credit rating as determined by the nationally recognized rating agencies adjusted for a lack of trading volume. Significant unobservable inputs are developed by investment securities professionals involved in the active trading of similar debt securities.
The Company reviews the prices for Level 1 and Level 2 debt securities supplied by the independent pricing service for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. In general, the Company does not purchase investment portfolio debt securities that are esoteric or that have complicated structures. The Company’s portfolio primarily consists of traditional investments including U.S. Treasury obligations, federal agency mortgage pass-through debt securities, general obligation municipal bonds and municipal revenue bonds. Pricing for such instruments is easily obtained. For in-state bond issues that have relatively low issue sizes and liquidity, the Company utilizes the same parameters for pricing mentioned in the preceding paragraph adjusted for the specific issue. Periodically, the Company will validate prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparison to prices obtained from third party sources.
Derivatives
Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains dealer and market quotations to value its oil and gas swaps and options. The Company utilizes dealer quotes and observable market data inputs to substantiate internal valuation models.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the periods presented, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Balance at the beginning of the year
180

(30
Balance at the end of the period
The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of the reporting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not transfer any debt securities.
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These financial assets and financial liabilities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs.
The Company invests in equity securities without readily determinable fair values and utilizes Level 3 inputs. These equity securities are reported at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported as securities transactions in the noninterest income section of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Collateral dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is dependent on liquidation of the collateral. When the Company determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. In no case does the fair value of a collateral dependent loan exceed the fair value of the underlying collateral. The collateral dependent loans are adjusted to fair value through a specific allocation of the allowance for credit losses or a direct charge-down of the loan.
Repossessed assets, upon initial recognition, are measured and adjusted to fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for possible credit losses based upon the fair value of the repossessed asset.
Other real estate owned is revalued at fair value subsequent to initial recognition, with any losses recognized in net expense from other real estate owned.
The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period presented. These nonrecurring fair values do not represent all assets, only those assets that have been adjusted during the reporting period:

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company is required under current authoritative accounting guidance to disclose the estimated fair value of their financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, substantially all of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents Include: Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-Bearing Deposits with Banks
The carrying amount of these short-term instruments is based on a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Federal Funds Sold
The carrying amount of these short-term instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Debt Securities Held for Investment
For debt securities held for investment, which are generally traded in secondary markets, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar debt securities making adjustments for credit or liquidity if applicable.
Loans Held for Sale
The Company originates mortgage loans to be sold. At the time of origination, the acquiring bank has already been determined and the terms of the loan, including interest rate, have already been set by the acquiring bank, allowing the Company to originate the loan at fair value. Mortgage loans are generally sold within 30 days of origination. Loans held for sale are valued using Level 2 inputs. Gains or losses recognized upon the sale of the loans are determined on a specific identification basis.
Loans Held for Investment
To determine the fair value of loans held for investment, the Company uses an exit price calculation, which takes into account factors such as liquidity, credit and the nonperformance risk of loans. For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential mortgages, fair values are estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values of other types of loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
The fair values of transaction and savings accounts are the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Subordinated Debt
The fair values of subordinated debt are estimated using the rates that would be charged for subordinated debt of similar remaining maturities.
Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit
The fair values of commitments are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the terms of the agreements. The fair values of letters of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are reported at amortized cost in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value, are as follows:

Non-financial Assets and Non-financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The Company has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company has no non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include intangible assets. The intangible assets are evaluated at least annually for impairment. The overall levels of non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were not considered to be significant to the Company at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
(10) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into oil and gas swaps and options contracts to accommodate the business needs of its customers. Upon the origination of an oil or gas swap or option contract with a customer, to mitigate the exposure to fluctuations in oil and gas prices, the Company simultaneously enters into an offsetting contract with a counterparty. These derivatives are not designated as hedged instruments and are recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at fair value and are included in other assets. The Company's derivative financial instruments require a daily margin to be posted, which fluctuates with oil and gas prices. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a margin asset included in other assets in the amount of $12.6 million and $463,000, respectively.
The Company utilizes dealer quotations and observable market data inputs to substantiate internal valuation models. The notional amounts and estimated fair values of oil and gas derivative positions outstanding are presented in the following table:

The Company's credit exposure on oil and gas swaps and options varies based on the current market prices of oil and natural gas. Other than credit risk, changes in the fair value of customer positions will be offset by equal and opposite changes in the counterparty positions. The net positive fair value of the contracts represents the profit derived from the activity and is unaffected by the market price movements. The Company's share of total profit is approximately 35%.
Customer credit exposure is managed by strict position limits and is primarily offset by first liens on production while the remainder is offset by cash. Counterparty credit exposure is managed by selecting highly rated counterparties (rated A- or better by Moody's) and monitoring market information.

Balance Sheet Offsetting
Derivatives may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet and/or subject to master netting arrangements. The Company's derivative transactions with upstream financial institution counterparties and bank customers are generally executed under International Swaps and Derivative Association ("ISDA") master agreements, which include "right of set-off" provisions. In such cases there is generally a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. Nonetheless, the Company does not generally offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.
(11) SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company, along with its chief operating decision maker (CODM), which is BancFirst Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, evaluates its performance with an internal profitability measurement system that measures the profitability of its business units on a pre-tax basis. The financial information for each business unit is presented on the basis used internally by management and the CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company utilizes a transfer pricing system to allocate the benefit or cost of funds provided or used by the various business units. Certain services provided by the support group to other business units, such as item processing, are allocated at rates approximating the cost of providing the services. Eliminations are adjustments to consolidate the business units. Capital expenditures are generally charged to the business unit using the asset.
The six principal business units are BancFirst metropolitan banks, BancFirst community banks, Pegasus, Worthington, other financial services and executive, operations and support. BancFirst metropolitan banks, BancFirst community banks, Pegasus and Worthington offer traditional banking products such as commercial and retail lending and a full line of deposit accounts. BancFirst metropolitan banks consist of banking locations in the metropolitan Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas. BancFirst community banks consist of banking locations in communities in Oklahoma outside the Oklahoma City and Tulsa metropolitan areas. Pegasus consists of banking locations in the Dallas metropolitan area. Worthington consists of banking locations in the Arlington, Fort Worth and Denton Texas. Other financial services are specialty product business units including guaranteed small business lending, residential mortgage lending, trust services, securities brokerage, electronic banking and insurance. The executive, operations and support groups represent executive management, operational support and corporate functions that are not allocated to the other business units.

SUMMARY
The Company’s net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $56.1 million, compared to $50.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. Diluted net income per common share was $1.66 and $1.50 for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 increased to $115.9 million from $106.1 million for the first quarter of 2024. Higher loan volume along with general growth in earning assets were the primary drivers of the change in net interest income. Net interest margin was unchanged at 3.70% for both the first quarter of 2025 and 2024. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2024.
Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $49.0 million compared to $44.9 million last year. Trust revenue, treasury income, sweep fees and insurance commissions each increased when compared to the first quarter last year.
Noninterest expense grew to $92.2 million for the quarter-ended March 31, 2025 compared to $82.8 million in the same quarter in 2024. The Company recorded a $4.4 million expense related to the disposition of certain equity investments no longer permissible under the Volcker Rule, which prohibits banks with more than $10 billion in assets from holding certain private equity investments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Average Balances, Income, Expenses and Rates
The following table presents certain information related to the Company's consolidated average balance sheet, average yields on assets and average costs of liabilities. Such yields are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of the corresponding assets or liabilities. For these computations: (i) average balances are derived from daily averages, (ii) information is shown on a taxable-equivalent basis assuming a 21% tax rate, and (iii) nonaccrual loans are included in the average loan balances and any interest on such nonaccrual loans is recognized on a cash basis. Loan fees included in interest income were $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net Interest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net interest income, which is the Company’s principal source of operating revenue, increased $9.8 million or 9.3% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Higher loan volume along with general growth in earning assets were the primary drivers of the change in net interest income. Net interest margin is the ratio of taxable-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets for the period. The Company’s net interest margin was unchanged for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Provision for Credit Losses on loans
The Company establishes an allowance as an estimate of the expected credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate based upon management’s best estimate of expected losses within the existing loan portfolio. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses change, the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses could also change which could affect the amount of future provisions for credit losses.
Net loan charge-offs were $503,000 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to net loan charge-offs of $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The rate of net charge-offs to average total loans continues to be at a low level.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased by $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Trust revenue, treasury income, sweep fees and insurance commissions each increased when compared to last year.
Noninterest income included non-sufficient funds ("NSF") and overdraft fees totaling $7.4 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This represents 15.1% and 15.9% of the Company’s noninterest income for the
32
respective periods. In addition, the Company had debit card usage and interchange fees totaling $6.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. This represents 13.3% and 14.6% of the Company’s noninterest income for the respective periods.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased by $9.4 million for first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The Company recorded a $4.4 million expense related to the disposition of certain equity investments no longer permissible under the Volcker Rule, which prohibits banks with more than $10 billion in assets from holding certain private equity investments. Additionally, the increase in noninterest expense was augmented by growth in salaries and employee benefits of $3.1 million.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.1% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 21.6% for the first quarter of 2024. The primary reasons for the difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate were tax-exempt income, nondeductible amortization, federal and state tax credits and state tax expense.

(1) Refer to the “Reconciliation of Tangible Book Value per Common Share (non-GAAP)” table.
(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.
(3) Government agencies guaranteed approximately $9.2 million of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2025.
Cash and Due from Banks, Federal Funds Sold and Interest-Bearing Deposits with Banks
The aggregate of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with banks increased by $420.2 million or 11.8%, to $4.0 billion from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The increase was related to an increase of interest-bearing deposits in addition to maturing securities.
Securities
At March 31, 2025, total debt securities decreased $44.3 million, or 3.7% compared to December 31, 2024. The size of the Company’s securities portfolio is determined by the Company’s liquidity and asset/liability management. The net unrealized loss on debt securities available for sale, before taxes, was $31.1 million at March 31, 2025, compared to a net unrealized loss of $43.1 million at December 31, 2024. These unrealized losses of $23.7 million at March 31, 2025 and $32.9 million at December 31, 2024 are included in the Company’s stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income tax. The Company did not purchase or sell any debt securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company did not recognize a gain or loss on debt securities during the quarters ended March 31, 2025 or 2024. The Company had maturities and paydowns of debt securities totaling $56.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and $17.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
See Note (2) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures regarding the Company’s securities.
At March 31, 2025, total loans increased $69.6 million or 0.9% compared to December 31, 2024 as a result of internal loan growth. Of the total increase in loans, commercial real estate made up the largest increase with $58.4 million. The internal loan growth was primarily from the Company's Oklahoma subsidiary BancFirst.
See Note (3) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures regarding the Company’s loan portfolio segments.
The overall credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio has remained strong. If unforeseen adverse changes occur in the national or local economy, or in the credit markets, it would be reasonable to expect that the allowance for credit losses would increase in future periods.
Nonaccrual Loans
Nonaccrual loans totaled $56.4 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $58.0 million at December 31, 2024. The Company’s nonaccrual construction and development real estate loans made up 37% of nonaccrual loans and nonaccrual commercial real estate made up 29%. Nonaccrual loans negatively impact the Company’s net interest margin. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the future collectability of both interest and principal is in serious doubt. Interest income is not recognized until the principal balance is fully collected. However, if the full collection of the remaining principal balance is not in doubt, interest income is recognized on certain of these loans on a cash basis. Had nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original contractual terms, the Company would have recognized additional interest income of approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $696,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Only a small amount of this interest is expected to be ultimately collected. Approximately $9.2 million of nonaccrual loans were guaranteed by government agencies at March 31, 2025.
The classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily indicate that loan principal and interest will ultimately be uncollectible; although, in an economic downturn, the Company’s experience has been that the level of collections decline. The above normal risk associated with nonaccrual loans has been considered in the determination of the allowance for credit losses. The level of nonaccrual loans and credit losses could rise over time as a result of adverse economic conditions.
Modified Loans
The current and future financial effects of the recorded balance of loans considered to be modified during the period were not considered to be material. The recorded balance of loans modified during the period ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $1.9 million compared to $14.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets
Other real estate owned ("OREO") consists of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and premises held for sale. These properties are carried at the lower of the book values of the related loans or fair values based upon appraisals of the properties, less estimated costs to sell. Write-downs arising at the time of reclassification of such properties from loans to OREO are charged directly to the allowance for credit losses. Any losses on bank premises designated to be sold are charged to operating expense at the time of transfer from premises to OREO. Decreases in values of properties subsequent to their classification as OREO are charged to operating expense. The Company's write-downs in OREO totaled $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
OREO included a larger commercial real estate property recorded at $29.5 million at March 31, 2025 and $28.1 million at December 31, 2024. During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company made $1.4 million of tenant improvements to this property, which contributed to the increase of total OREO. Rental income for this property is included in other noninterest income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Operating expense for this property is included in net expense from OREO in other noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
This property had the following rental income and operating expenses for the periods presented:
The Company's total rental income and operating expenses from OREO are presented in the following table:
3,002
2,663
2,329
Intangible Assets, Goodwill and Other Assets
Identifiable intangible assets and goodwill totaled $194.5 million and $195.4 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Other assets includes the cash surrender value of key-man life insurance policies totaling $84.3 million at March 31, 2025 and $84.4 million at December 31, 2024.
Derivative financial instruments consisting of oil and gas swaps and option contracts are included in other assets and totaled $19.9 million at March 31, 2025 and $10.5 million at December 31, 2024. They require a daily margin to be posted, which fluctuates with oil and gas prices and customer activity. The Company had a margin asset included in other assets in the amount of $12.6 million at March 31, 2025 and $463,000 at December 31, 2024. See Note (10) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.
Equity securities are reported in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company invests in equity securities without readily determinable fair values. The realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported as securities transactions in the noninterest income section of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The balance of equity securities was $12.8 million at March 31, 2025 and $13.4 million at December 31, 2024. The Company reviews its portfolio of equity securities for impairment at least quarterly.
Low-Income Housing, New Market Tax Credit Investments and Historic Tax Credit Investments
During 2025, the Company’s low-income housing tax credit ("LIHTC") investments increased $6.5 million totaling $65.1 million at March 31, 2025, New Markets Tax Credits ("NMTC") investments increased $5.3 million totaling $12.8 million at March 31, 2025 and the Historic Tax Credit Investments remained at $6.3 million, all of which are included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
See Note (6) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for disclosures regarding these investments.
Liquidity and Funding
The Company’s principal source of liquidity and funding is its broad deposit base generated from customer relationships. The availability of deposits is affected by economic conditions, competition with other financial institutions and alternative investments
available to customers. Through interest rates paid, service charge levels and services offered, the Company can affect its level of deposits to a limited extent. The level and maturity of funding necessary to support the Company’s lending and investment functions is determined through the Company’s asset/liability management process. The Company currently does not rely heavily on long-term borrowings and does not utilize brokered CDs. The Company maintains lines of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), federal funds lines of credit with other banks and could also utilize the sale of loans, securities and liquidation of other assets as sources of liquidity and funding. The Company is highly liquid with percent of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold to total assets of 28.3% at March 31, 2025, compared to 26.2% at December 31, 2024.
There have not been any other material changes from the liquidity and funding discussion included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2025, deposits totaled $12.1 billion, an increase of $408.2 million from December 31, 2024. The Company’s core deposits provide it with a stable, low-cost funding source. The Company’s core deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 95.5% at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits were 33.2% at March 31, 2025 compared to 33.3% at December 31, 2024.
Uninsured deposits are defined as the portion of deposit accounts in U.S. offices that exceed the FDIC insurance limit and amounts in any other uninsured investment or deposit account that are classified as deposits and are not subject to any federal or state deposit insurance regimes. Total uninsured deposits were $4.1 billion at March 31, 2025 and $4.0 billion at December 31, 2024, as calculated per regulatory guidance. This was approximately 34% of deposits at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company has existing and contingent sources of liquidity equivalent to approximately 150% of it uninsured deposits.
Off-balance-sheet sweep accounts totaled $5.5 billion at March 31, 2025 compared to $5.2 billion at December 31, 2024. The movement of customers' funds into the Company's off-balance-sheet sweep accounts affected the balances of both cash and deposits.
See Note (5) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of the Company’s subordinated debt.
Lines of Credit
The Company has several lines of credit available. At March 31, 2025, BancFirst had $911.4 million available on its line of credit from the FHLB of Topeka, Kansas. At March 31, 2025, BancFirst had no advances outstanding under this line of credit. Pegasus had a Federal Reserve discount window capacity of $127.7 million. At March 31, 2025, Pegasus had no advances outstanding under this line of credit.

Worthington had no advances outstanding at March 31, 2025 under any of these lines of credit.
Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity totaled $1.7 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $51.6 million from December 31, 2024. In addition to net income of $56.1 million, other changes in stockholders’ equity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 included $891,000 related to common stock issuances for stock option exercises, $790,000 related to stock-based compensation and $9.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income that were partially offset by $15.3 million in dividends. The Company’s leverage ratio and total risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2025 were well in excess of the regulatory requirements.
