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, 2018.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BancFirst Corporation, Council Oak Partners, LLC, BancFirst Insurance Services, Inc., BancFirst Risk & Insurance Company, Pegasus Bank and BancFirst and its subsidiaries. The principal operating subsidiaries of BancFirst are Council Oak Investment Corporation, Council Oak Real Estate, Inc., 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 the instructions for Form 10-Q. The information contained in the financial statements and footnotes included in BancFirst Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, 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. There have been no significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company since December 31, 2018, the date of the most recent annual report.
Reclassifications
Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net cash flows, stockholders’ equity or comprehensive income.
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 loan losses, income taxes, the fair value of financial instruments and the valuation of intangibles. Such estimates and assumptions may change over time and actual amounts realized may differ from those reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Standards Adopted During Current Period:
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases - (Topic 842)”, amended by ASU 2018-11, “Leases – (Topic 842)”: Targeted Improvements. This new guidance requires a lessee to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with lease terms of more than twelve months and provide additional disclosures. The amendments were effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition approach and recognized right-of-use lease assets and related lease liabilities totaling $4.3 million. The Company elected to apply certain practical adoption expedients provided under the updates whereby it did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. No cumulative-effect adjustment was recognized as the amount was not material, and the impact on our results of operations and cash flows was also not material. No prior periods were adjusted. See Note 6 for the financial position impact and additional disclosures.
Standards Not Yet Adopted:
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).” ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. In addition, early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures and delayed adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date is also permitted. The Company expects to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2020.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgements used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements. In that regard, the Company has formed a task force under the direction of its Chief Financial Officer. In preparation, the Company has developed new credit estimation models, processes and controls. Internal validation of the model is underway and expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company has performed test runs of the new processes and controls and begun full parallel runs. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 could result in an increase or decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model, which encompasses allowances for current known and inherent losses within the portfolio, to an “expected loss” model, which encompasses allowances for losses expected to be incurred over the life of the portfolio. Furthermore, ASU 2016-13 will necessitate that the Company establish an allowance for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets. While the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13, we expect that the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date. The Company expects to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2020.
(2) RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
On August 15, 2019, BancFirst Corporation acquired Pegasus Bank, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $123.5 million. Pegasus Bank is a Texas state-chartered bank with three banking locations in Dallas, Texas. Upon acquisition, Pegasus Bank had approximately $651.1 million in total assets, $389.9 million in loans and $603.9 million in deposits. Pegasus 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 or other support to increase Pegasus Bank’s ability to approve larger loans and allow Pegasus Bank to continue to grow their assets. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded a core deposit intangible of approximately $9.9 million and goodwill of approximately $67.3 million. The initial accounting for the business combination is not complete due to limited time since the acquisition date. However, we do not expect any acquisition related adjustments to be material to the financial statements. The effect of this acquisition was included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition forward. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The acquisition of Pegasus Bank complements the Company by expanding into the high-growth Dallas market.
On August 31, 2018, BFTower, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BancFirst purchased Cotter Ranch Tower in Oklahoma City for the Company’s corporate headquarters for $21.0 million. Cotter Ranch Tower was subsequently renamed BancFirst Tower. BancFirst Tower consists of an aggregate of 507,000 square feet, has 36 floors and is the second tallest building in Oklahoma City. The BancFirst Tower will remain an income producing property as approximately 55% is currently, and is intended to continue to be, leased to outside tenants. BancFirst Tower will allow the Company to consolidate operations from three locations to one and will improve operational efficiencies. Upon consolidation, the Company expects to occupy approximately 35% of BancFirst Tower, resulting in approximately 90% total occupancy. Renovations on BancFirst Tower are expected to be completed by the end of 2021 and are expected to cost approximately $75 million. The renovation costs include substantial deferred maintenance including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, elevators, building skin and roof while also including much needed improvements to both the interior and exterior common areas including the lobby, underground and outdoor plaza. The Company could start depreciating certain components of the renovation as they are put into service as early as December 2019. The Company estimates spending approximately $12 million on tenant improvements for the approximate 165,000 square feet that the Company will occupy. The total purchase price, renovation costs, and Company tenant improvement costs were determined to be favorable to other alternatives, such as constructing new corporate headquarters or leasing space. On December 14, 2018, BFTower LLC, purchased a 42.6% ownership interest in SFPG, LLC, which is the owner of a 1,568 space parking garage adjacent to BancFirst Tower, for $9.8 million.
On January 11, 2018, the Company acquired First Wagoner Corp. and its subsidiary bank, First Bank & Trust Company, with locations in Carney, Grove, Ketchum, Luther, Tulsa and Wagoner. First Bank & Trust Company had approximately $290 million in total assets, $247 million in loans and $251 million in deposits. First Bank & Trust Company operated as a subsidiary of BancFirst Corporation until it was merged into BancFirst on February 16, 2018. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded a core
deposit intangible of approximately $6.3 million and goodwill of approximately $19.1 million. The effect of this acquisition was included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition forward. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The acquisition of First Wagoner Corp. and its subsidiary bank, First Bank & Trust Company complements the Company’s community banking strategy by adding an additional five communities to its banking network in Oklahoma.
On January 11, 2018, the Company acquired First Chandler Corp. and its subsidiary bank, First Bank of Chandler, with two locations in Chandler. First Bank of Chandler had approximately $88 million in total assets, $66 million in loans and $79 million in deposits. First Bank of Chandler operated as a subsidiary of BancFirst Corporation until it was merged into BancFirst on September 7, 2018. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded a core deposit intangible of approximately $2.2 million and goodwill of approximately $6.6 million. The effect of this acquisition was included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition forward. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The acquisition of First Chandler Corp. and its subsidiary bank, First Bank of Chandler complements the Company’s community banking strategy by increasing its banking network in Oklahoma.

BancFirst’s loans are mostly to customers within Oklahoma and approximately 59% of the 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 securities. The Company’s interest in collateral is secured through filing mortgages and liens, and in some cases, by possession of the collateral.
BancFirst’s commercial and industrial loan category includes a small percentage of loans to companies that provide ancillary services to the oil and gas industry, such as transportation, preparation contractors and equipment manufacturers. The balance of these loans was approximately $83 million at September 30, 2019 and approximately $60 million at December 31, 2018.
Pegasus Bank’s loans are mostly to customers within Texas and approximately $209 million or 53% of the loans are secured by real estate. Pegasus Bank’s commercial and industrial loans were approximately $160 million, of which approximately $40 million were loans to companies in the oil and gas industry.
Accounting policies related to appraisals, nonaccruals and charge-offs are disclosed in Note (1) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Impaired Loans
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect the full amount of scheduled principal and interest payments in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance may be allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported, net of allowance for loss, at the present value of future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate, or the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

The following table presents impaired loans, segregated by class of loans. During the period ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, no material amount of interest income was recognized on impaired loans subsequent to their classification as impaired.

Credit Risk Monitoring and Loan Grading
The Company considers various factors to monitor the credit risk in the loan portfolio including volume and severity of loan delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, internal grading of loans, historical loan loss experience and economic conditions.
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 are disclosed in Note (5) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Pegasus Bank Credit Quality Indicators
Pegasus Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. Pegasus Bank analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Pegasus Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass
12
Loans classified as a pass are loans with low to average risk. These loans are included in grade 1 and 2 for the purposes of the following table:
Special Mention
Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of Pegasus Bank’s credit position at some future date. These loans are included in grade 3 for the purposes of the following table:
Substandard
Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Pegasus Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. These loans are included in grade 4 for the purposes of the following table:
Doubtful
Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. These loans, if any, would be included in grade 5 for the purposes of the following table:

LEASES
Lessee
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases - (Topic 842),” which requires the recognition of the Company’s operating leases on its balance sheet. See Note (1) for additional information.
The Company has operating leases, which primarily consist of office space in buildings, ATM locations, storage facilities, parking lots and land on which it owns certain buildings. Rent expense for all operating leases totaled approximately $357,000 and $398,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Rent expense for all operating leases totaled approximately $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company adopted a nonqualified incentive stock option plan (the “BancFirst ISOP”) in May 1986. The Company has amended the BancFirst ISOP since 1986 to increase the number of shares to be issued under the plan to 6,484,530 shares. At September 30, 2019, there were 330,000 shares available for future grants. The BancFirst ISOP will terminate on December 31, 2024, if not extended. The options vest and are exercisable beginning four years from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years. Options expire at the end of fifteen years from the date of grant. Options outstanding as of September 30, 2019 will become exercisable through the year 2026. The option price must be no less than 100% of the fair value of the stock relating to such option at the date of grant.
In June 1999, the Company adopted the BancFirst Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan”). Each non-employee director is granted an option for 10,000 shares. The Company has amended the BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan since 1999 to increase the number of shares to be issued under the plan to 530,000 shares. At September 30, 2019, there were 15,000 shares available for future grants. The BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan will terminate on December 31, 2024, if not extended. The options vest and are exercisable beginning one year from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years, and expire at the end of fifteen years from the date of grant. Options outstanding as of September 30, 2019 will become exercisable through the year 2023. The option price must be no less than 100% of the fair value of the stock relating to such option at the date of grant.
The Company currently uses newly issued shares for stock option exercises, but reserves the right to use shares purchased under the Company’s Stock Repurchase Program (the “SRP”) in the future.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is based on certain assumptions including risk-free rate of return, dividend yield, stock price volatility and the expected term. The fair value of each option is expensed over its vesting period.

The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the spot zero-coupon rate for the U.S. Treasury security with a maturity similar to the expected term of the options. The dividend yield is the expected yield for the expected term. The stock price volatility is estimated from the recent historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term is estimated from the historical option exercise experience. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
In May 1999, the Company adopted the BancFirst Corporation Directors’ Deferred Stock Compensation Plan (the “BancFirst Deferred Stock Compensation Plan”). The Company has amended the BancFirst Deferred Stock Compensation Plan since 1999 to increase the number of shares to be issued under the plan to 244,148 shares. The BancFirst Deferred Stock Compensation Plan will terminate on December 31, 2024, 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 9,542 and 3,891 shares of common stock distributed from the BancFirst Deferred Stock Compensation Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
A summary of the accumulated stock units is as follows:

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In November 1999, the Company adopted a Stock Repurchase Program (the “SRP”). The SRP may be used as a means to increase earnings per share and return on equity, 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 may be determined by management and approved by the Company’s Executive Committee.
The following table is a summary of the shares under the program:

The Company, BancFirst and Pegasus Bank are subject to risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). These guidelines are used to evaluate capital adequacy and involve both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the Company’s and BancFirst’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory practices. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory or discretionary actions by the regulatory agencies that could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Management believes that as of September 30, 2019, the Company, BancFirst and Pegasus Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, 2019, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and the FDIC categorized BancFirst and Pegasus Bank as “well capitalized” under the prompt corrective action provisions. The Company’s trust preferred securities have continued to be included in Tier 1 capital, as the Company’s total assets do not exceed $15 billion. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notifications of BancFirst or Pegasus Bank’s capital category that management believes would materially change its category under capital requirements existing as of the report date.

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.
21
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:
•
Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes certain impaired loans, repossessed assets, other real estate owned, goodwill and other intangible assets.
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.
Securities Available for Sale
Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value. U.S. Treasuries are valued using Level 1 inputs. Other securities available for sale including U.S. federal agencies, registered mortgage backed 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 the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The Company also invests in private label mortgage backed securities for which observable information is not readily available. These securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs. For these securities, management determines the fair value based on replacement cost, the income approach or information provided by outside consultants or lead investors.
The Company reviews the prices for Level 1 and Level 2 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 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 securities, general obligation municipal bonds and a small amount of municipal revenue bonds. Pricing for such instruments is fairly generic and 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:
Level 1 Inputs
Level 2 Inputs
Level 3 Inputs

14,467

(1,037

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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not transfer any securities between levels in the fair value hierarchy.
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; that is, 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. Beginning January 1, 2018, upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, these 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.
Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is dependent on liquidation of the collateral. In no case does the fair value of an impaired loan exceed the fair value of the underlying collateral. The impaired loans are adjusted to fair value through a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses or a direct charge-down of the loan.
23
Repossessed assets, upon initial recognition, are measured and adjusted to fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for possible loan 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. The fair value represents end of period values, which approximate fair value measurements that occurred on various measurement dates throughout the 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 were 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
The carrying amount of these short-term instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities Held for Investment
For 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 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.
To determine the fair value of loans, 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.
Short-term Borrowings
The amounts payable on these short-term instruments are reasonable estimates of fair value.
Junior Subordinated Debentures
The fair values of junior subordinated debentures are estimated using the rates that would be charged for junior subordinated debentures 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. Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include intangible assets (excluding mortgage service rights, which are valued periodically) and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value and adjusted for impairment. These items are evaluated at least annually for impairment. The overall levels of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were not considered to be significant to the Company at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
(11)SEGMENT INFORMATION

SUMMARY
BancFirst Corporation’s net income for the third quarter of 2019 was $33.4 million, compared to $32.9 million for the third quarter of 2018. Diluted net income per common share was $1.00 and $0.98 for the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Net income was $99.4 million, or $2.98 diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net income of $93.1 million, or $2.78 diluted earnings 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 acquisition related expenses of approximately $3.1 million. On January 11, 2018 the Company completed the acquisitions of two Oklahoma banking corporations. Consequently, the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included acquisition related expenses of approximately $2.6 million.
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 Company’s net interest
margin for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018 increased primarily due to the higher average federal funds rate in the third quarter of 2019 and loan growth during the quarter. The Company’s provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2019 was $2.8 million, compared to $747,000 a year ago. The increase in the provision was primarily due to downgrades of a few commercial loans during the quarter. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2019 were 0.04% of average loans compared to 0.02% of average loans in 2018. Net charge-offs for the full year of 2019 were 0.05% of average loans compared to 0.04% 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 expenses was primarily due to salary increases in 2019 and greater acquisition related expenses in 2019.
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, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $123.5 million. Pegasus Bank is a Texas state-chartered bank with three banking locations in Dallas, Texas. Upon acquisition, Pegasus Bank had approximately $651.1 million in total assets, $389.9 million in loans, and $603.9 million in deposits. Pegasus 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 Bank to continue to grow their assets. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded a core deposit intangible of approximately $9.9 million and goodwill of approximately $67.3 million. The initial accounting for the business combination is not complete due to limited time since the acquisition date. However, we do not expect any acquisition related adjustments to be material to the financial statements. The effect of this acquisition was included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition forward. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The acquisition of Pegasus Bank complements the Company by expanding into the high-growth Dallas market.
Asset quality remained strong during the third quarter of 2019. Nonperforming and restructured assets represented 0.67% of total assets at September 30, 2019 and 0.59% at December 31, 2018. 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.
On August 31, 2018, BFTower, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BancFirst, purchased the Cotter Ranch Tower in Oklahoma City for the Company’s corporate headquarters for $21.0 million. Cotter Ranch Tower was subsequently renamed BancFirst Tower. BancFirst Tower consists of an aggregate of 507,000 square feet, has 36 floors and is the second tallest building in Oklahoma City. The BancFirst Tower will remain an income producing property as approximately 55% is currently, and is intended to continue to be, leased to outside tenants. BancFirst Tower will allow the Company to consolidate operations from three locations to one and will improve operational efficiencies. Upon consolidation, the Company expects to initially occupy approximately 35% of the BancFirst Tower, resulting in approximately 90% total occupancy. Renovations on BancFirst Tower are expected to be completed by the end of 2021 and are expected to cost approximately $75 million. The renovation costs include substantial deferred maintenance including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, elevators, building skin and roof while also including much needed improvements to both the interior and exterior common areas including the lobby, underground and outdoor plaza. The Company could start depreciating certain components of the renovation as they are put into service as early as December 2019. The Company estimates spending approximately $12 million on tenant improvements for the approximate 165,000 square feet that the Company will occupy. The total purchase price, renovation costs, and Company tenant improvement costs were determined to be favorable to other alternatives, such as constructing new corporate headquarters or leasing space. On December 14, 2018, BFTower LLC, purchased a 42.6% ownership interest in SFPG, LLC, which is the owner of a 1,568 space parking garage adjacent to BancFirst Tower, for $9.8 million.
On January 11, 2018, the Company completed the acquisitions of two Oklahoma banking corporations. First Wagoner Corporation and its subsidiary bank, First Bank & Trust Company, and First Chandler Corp. and its subsidiary bank, First Bank of Chandler, had combined total assets of approximately $378 million. The Company exchanged a combination of cash and stock for these transactions.

Net Interest Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, net interest income, which is the Company’s principal source of operating revenue, increased $6.6 million or 10.1% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. 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 for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018 increased primarily due to the higher average federal funds rate in the third quarter of 2019 and loan growth during such quarter. If the federal funds rate continues to decline compared to the average for the current quarter, the Company expects the yield on earning assets to decrease, which would negatively impact the net interest margin.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $14.4 million or 7.4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The net interest margin for the year-to-date increased compared to the same period of the previous year, as shown in the preceding table. The increase in the margin was primarily due to the higher average federal funds rate throughout 2019 compared to 2018 and loan growth during 2019. If the federal funds rate continues to decline compared to the average for the current year, the Company expects the yield on earning assets to decrease, which would negatively impact the net interest margin.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company’s provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2019 was $2.8 million compared to $747,000 a year ago. The increase in the provision was primarily due to downgrades of a few commercial loans during the quarter. The Company establishes an allowance as an estimate of the probable inherent losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is appropriate based upon management’s best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing loan portfolio. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses change, the Company’s estimate of probable loan losses could also change, which could affect the amount of future provisions for loan losses. Net loan charge-offs were $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, primarily related to the charge-off of acquired loans, compared to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2018. The rate of net charge-offs to average total loans, as presented in the preceding table, continues to be at a very low level.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s provision for loan losses was $6.9 million compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in the provision was primarily due to downgrades of a few commercial loans as well as loan growth during 2019. Net loan charge-offs were $2.3 million, compared to $2.1 million for the same period of the prior year.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income, as presented in the preceding table, increased by $2.8 million for third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to growth in debit card usage fees and sweep fees. The Company had fees from debit card usage totaling $8.7 million and $7.4 million during the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This represents 24.3% and 22.7% of the Company’s noninterest income for the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, the Company has non-sufficient funds fees totaling $8.8 million and $8.2 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This represents 24.7% and 24.9% of the Company’s noninterest income for the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $101.7 million compared to $93.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to growth in debit card usage fees, sweep fees, insurance commissions and equity security gains of $821,000. Fees from debit card usage totaled $25.1 million and $21.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This represents 24.6% and 23.2% of the Company’s noninterest income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, the Company had non-sufficient fund fees totaling $24.5 million and $23.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This represents 24.1% and 24.6% of the Company’s noninterest income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Durbin Amendment is a provision in the larger Dodd-Frank Act that gave the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rates on debit card transactions. The Durbin Amendment aims to control debit card interchange fees and restrict anti-competitive practices. The law applies to banks with over $10 billion in assets and limits these banks on what they charge for debit card interchange fees. If the Company grows to exceed $10 billion in assets, the Durbin Amendment will decrease the Company’s income from debit card usage fees by approximately $15 million annually based on current volume.
Noninterest Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, noninterest expense totaled $62.2 million, compared to $55.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in noninterest expenses was primarily due to salary increases in 2019 and acquisition related expenses of approximately $3.1 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, noninterest expense totaled $175.0 million compared to $166.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in noninterest expense was due to salary increases and acquisition related expenses of approximately $3.1 million in 2019 partially offset by a decrease in other expense due to acquisition related expenses of approximately $2.6 million in 2018.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate on income before taxes was 22.3% for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 21.6% for the third quarter of 2018. The increase in the effective tax rate compared to the third quarter of 2018 was due to a decrease in option exercises during the quarter.
The Company’s effective tax rate on income before taxes was 22.3% for the first nine months of 2019, compared to 21.6% for the first nine months of 2018. The increase in the effective tax rate compared 2018 was due to a decrease in option exercises during such year.

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.
Cash, Federal Funds Sold and Interest-Bearing Deposits with Banks
The aggregate of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold increased by $277.9 million or 19.5% to $1.7 billion, from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily from cash from the Pegasus Bank acquisition and maturities of U. S. treasury securities.
Securities
At September 30, 2019, total debt securities decreased $216.6 million, or 28.1% compared to December 31, 2018, due to maturing U.S. treasury securities. The size of the Company’s securities portfolio is determined by the Company’s liquidity and asset/liability management. The net unrealized gain on securities available for sale, before taxes, was $4.9 million at September 30, 2019, compared to a net unrealized loss of $2.9 million at December 31, 2018. These unrealized gains and losses are included in the Company’s stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income tax, in the amounts of a gain of $3.6 million at September 30, 2019 and a loss of $2.1 million at December 31, 2018.
Loans (Including Acquired Loans)
At September 30, 2019, loans totaled $5.6 billion, an increase of $638.7 million from December 31, 2018. The increase in loans was due to internal growth, and the acquisition of Pegasus Bank, which added approximately $389.9 million in the third quarter of 2019.
31
Allowance for Loan Losses/Fair Value Adjustments on Acquired Loans
At September 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses to total loans represented 0.99% of total loans, compared to 1.03% at December 31, 2018.
The fair value adjustment on BancFirst and Pegasus Bank acquired loans consists of an interest rate component to adjust the effective rates on the loans to market rates and a credit component to adjust for estimated credit exposures in the acquired loans. The interest rate component was $1.9 million at September 30, 2019 and $2.2 million at December 31, 2018. The credit component of the adjustment was $7.6 million at September 30, 2019 and $7.6 million at December 31, 2018. The BancFirst acquired loans outstanding were $169.2 million at September 30, 2019 and $294.6 million at December 31, 2018. The Pegasus Bank acquired loans were approximately $371.1 million at September 30, 2019.
Nonperforming and restructured assets totaled $55.8 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $44.6 million at December 31, 2018. The Company’s level of nonperforming and restructured assets has continued to be relatively low.
Nonaccrual loans totaled $20.0 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $22.6 million at the end of 2018. The Company’s nonaccrual loans are primarily commercial and real estate loans. 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 interest or principal or both is in serious doubt. Interest income is recognized on certain of these loans on a cash basis if the full collection of the remaining principal balance is reasonably expected. Otherwise, interest income is not recognized until the principal balance is fully collected. Had nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original contractual terms, the Company would have recognized additional interest income of approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Only a small amount of this interest is expected to be ultimately collected.
Restructured loans totaled $17.5 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $13.2 million at the end of 2018. The increase in restructured loans was due primarily to a few commercial loans identified as troubled debt restructurings during the year. The Company charges interest on principal balances outstanding during deferral periods. As a result, the current and future financial effects of the recorded balance of loans considered to be troubled debt restructurings whose terms were modified during the period were not considered to be material.
Other real estate owned and repossessed assets totaled $7.1 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 2018.
Potential problem loans are performing loans to borrowers with a weakened financial condition, or which are experiencing unfavorable trends in their financial condition, which causes management to have concerns as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the existing repayment terms. The Company had approximately $17.4 million of these loans at September 30, 2019, compared to $8.0 million at December 31, 2018. Potential problem loans are not included in nonperforming and restructured loans. In general, these loans are adequately collateralized and have no specific identifiable probable loss. Loans which are considered to have identifiable probable loss potential are placed on nonaccrual status, are allocated a specific allowance for loss or are directly charged-down, and are reported as nonperforming.
Liquidity and Funding
At September 30, 2019, deposits totaled $7.3 billion, an increase of $725.2 million from the December 31, 2018 total primarily related to the acquisition of Pegasus Bank, which added approximately $603.9 million in deposits. 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 98.3% at September 30, 2019 and 98.1% at December 31, 2018. Noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits were 39.3% at September 30, 2019, compared to 39.6% at December 31, 2018.
Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings, consisting primarily of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements are another source of funds for the Company. The level of these borrowings is determined by various factors, including customer demand and the Company’s ability to earn a favorable spread on the funds obtained. Short-term borrowings were $605,000 at September 30, 2019, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2018.
Long-Term Borrowings
The Company has a line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Topeka, Kansas to use for liquidity or to match-fund certain long-term fixed-rate loans. The Company’s assets, including residential first mortgages of $794.1 million, are pledged as collateral for the borrowings under the line of credit. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no advances outstanding under the line of credit from FHLB. In addition, the Company has a revolving line of credit with another financial institution with the ability to draw up to $10.0 million with no advances outstanding. This line of credit has a variable rate based on prime rate minus 25 basis points and matures in 2020.
Parent Company Cash
Parent company cash decreased from $105.1 million at December 31, 2018 to $2.9 million at September 30, 2019 due to the $123.5 million purchase price for Pegasus Bank and a subsequent $5.0 million capital infusion.
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, 2018.
Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity totaled $979.8 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $902.8 million at December 31, 2018. In addition to net income of $99.4 million, other changes in stockholders’ equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $913,000 related to common stock issuances for stock option exercises, $888,000 related to stock-based compensation and a $5.8 million increase in other comprehensive income, that were partially offset by $30.0 million in dividends. The Company’s leverage ratio and total risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 2019, were well in excess of the regulatory requirements.
See Note (8) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of capital ratio requirements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
There have not been any material changes in the resources required for scheduled repayments of contractual obligations from the table of Contractual Cash Obligations included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis which was included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
