TULSA, Okla., Oct. 20, 2016 (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 followed by a modest recovery and covers a timeframe that begins in the first quarter of 2016 and ends in the first quarter of 2018. The results do not include actual results for the company to date for 2016, 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 | 12.13 | % | 10.31 | % | 10.31 | % | ||
| Tier 1 Risk Based | 12.13 | % | 10.31 | % | 10.31 | % | ||
| Total Risk Based | 13.30 | % | 11.58 | % | 11.58 | % | ||
| Tier 1 Leverage | 9.25 | % | 8.38 | % | 8.38 | % | ||
