BancFirst Corporation reported a decrease in net income for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, while net interest income increased. The company faced headwinds including reduced interchange fees and increased regulatory overhead.
Net income for Q3 2023 was $51.0 million, or $1.52 diluted earnings per share, compared to $55.4 million, or $1.65 diluted earnings per share, for Q3 2022.
Net interest income for Q3 2023 increased to $104.3 million, up from $100.9 million in Q3 2022, driven by rising short-term interest rates and loan growth.

Loans totaled $7.5 billion, an increase of $526.7 million from December 31, 2022.
BancFirst anticipates continued headwinds in the coming months, including deposit pricing pressure and increased overhead due to regulatory requirements for holding companies with assets exceeding $10 billion.
