OKLAHOMA CITY, July 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ GS: BANF) reported net income of $55.0 million, or $1.64 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $44.7 million, or $1.34 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2022. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $112.5 million, or $3.36 per share, compared to $80.6 million, or $2.42 per share, for the first half of 2022.
The Company's net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 increased to $105.9 million compared to $86.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Rising short-term interest rates and modest loan growth drove the increase. The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.87% compared to 3.89% in the first quarter and 3.05% a year ago. For the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.8 million driven by loan growth, compared to $501,000 for the second quarter of 2022.
Noninterest income for the quarter totaled $48.0 million, compared to $42.6 million last year. The growth in noninterest income was mostly attributable to an increase in sweep fees due to increased sweep account balances. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2022 included $578,000 of income from an equity interest received from a prior loan settlement. The equity interest was sold during the second quarter of 2023.
Noninterest expense for the quarter increased to $81.1 million compared to $73.7 million last year. Higher noninterest expense was primarily related to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $4.5 million. In addition, noninterest expense was lower in the second quarter last year due to a gain from the sale of the Company's prior headquarters that was netted against expenses.
The Company's effective tax rate for the period was 21.4% compared to 19.1% for the second quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2023-02 which increased income tax expense. The lower effective tax rate in 2022 was also driven by the exercising of stock options during the quarter.
At June 30, 2023, the Company's total assets were $12.0 billion, a decrease of $367.6 million from December 31, 2022. Loans totaled $7.3 billion, an increase of $357.7 million from December 31, 2022. Liquidity remained solid with the quarterly average loans to deposits ratio at June 30, 2023 rising to 69.9% from 62.3% at year-end. Deposits totaled $10.5 billion, a decrease of $499.0 million from December 31, 2022 as deposits generally flowed from demand accounts into the Company's off balance sheet sweep product. Sweep accounts totaled $4.3 billion at June 30, 2023 up $567.7 million from December 31, 2022. The Company continues to fund itself with customer deposits and does not use brokered or reciprocal deposits. The Company's total stockholders' equity was $1.3 billion, an increase of $90.0 million over December 31, 2022.
Asset quality remained strong with nonaccrual loans of $18.0 million, representing 0.25% of total loans at June 30, 2023 compared to 0.22% at year-end 2022. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.33% at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Net charge-offs were 0.01% of average loans for both the second quarter and year-to-date of both 2023 and 2022.
BancFirst Corporation CEO David Harlow commented, "Rapidly rising short-term interest rates and the quantitative tightening by the Federal Reserve have caused shrinkage in money supply and somewhat enhanced expectation of a slowdown in the economy. However, the Company reported a good quarter at $1.64 diluted earnings per share and we continue to be well positioned with top-tier liquidity supported by community-based deposits, strong capital, and solid credit quality. Our allowance for credit losses remained consistent with recent reporting as our forward outlook on the regional economy did not change during the quarter."
