TULSA, Okla., Oct. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BOK Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:BOKF) today announced the results of its annual Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test (“DFAST”). DFAST is a forward-looking exercise under which the company and its banking subsidiary estimate the impact of a hypothetical severely adverse macroeconomic scenario provided by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) on its financial condition and regulatory capital ratios over a nine-quarter time horizon.

The scenario assumes a severe global recession where national unemployment rates reach 10% and both residential and commercial real estate prices decline significantly. The scenario covers a timeframe that begins in the first quarter of 2017 and ends in the first quarter of 2019. The results do not include actual results for the company to date for 2017, and the macroeconomic scenarios do not reflect actual changes to the economy, financial markets, or commodity markets which have occurred since the scenarios were released by the Federal Reserve.

Under the scenario provided by the regulatory agencies, all capital ratio measures remain above minimum regulatory thresholds. The company estimates the following outcomes over the nine quarter time horizon:

Capital Ratio Measures
  Beginning   Minimum   Ending
Consolidated          
  Tier 1 Common 11.21 %   10.36 %   10.36 %
  Tier 1 Risk Based 11.21 %   10.36 %   10.36 %
  Total Risk Based 12.81 %   12.18 %   12.18 %
  Tier 1 Leverage 8.72 %   8.41 %   8.41 %
