Revenue Recognition

In addition to lending and related activities, the Company offers various services to customers that generate revenue. Contract performance typically occurs in one year or less. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred when the amortization period is one year or less.

Sales of real estate

The sale of real estate property is generally recognized, along with any associated gain or loss, when control of the property transfers to the buyer.

Service and transaction fees on depository accounts

Customers often pay certain fees to the bank to access the cash on deposit including certain non-transactional fees such as account maintenance or dormancy fees, and certain transaction-based fees such as non-sufficient funds fees, overdraft, ATM, wire transfer, or foreign exchange fees. Revenue is recognized when the transactions occur or as services are performed over primarily

monthly or quarterly periods. Payment is typically received in the period the transactions occur, or in some cases, within 90 days of the service period.

Interchange Fees

Interchange fees, or “swipe” fees, are charges that merchants pay to the processors who, in turn, share that revenue with us and other card-issuing banks for processing electronic payment transactions. Interchange fees represent the portion of the debit card transaction amount that the card issuer retains to compensate it for processing transactions and providing rewards. Interchange fees are settled and recognized on a daily or monthly basis.

Insurance Commissions and Fees

Insurance commissions are received on the sale of insurance products, and revenue is recognized upon the placement date of the insurance policies or when such commissions are received. Payment is normally received within the policy period. In addition to placement, the Company also provides insurance policy related risk management services. Revenue is recognized as these services are provided. Performance-based commissions are recognized when received or earlier when, upon consideration of past results and current condition, the revenue is deemed not probable of reversal.

For accounts billed by BancFirst Insurance Services, Inc., commission revenue is recognized at the later of the billing date or the effective date of the related insurance policies. Commission revenue, for accounts that are directly billed by the insurance company to the insured, is recognized when determinable by BancFirst Insurance Services, Inc., which is generally when such commissions are received.

BancFirst Insurance Services, Inc. also receives contingent commissions from insurance companies as additional incentive for achieving specified premium volume goals and/or loss experience parameters relating to the insurance they place. Contingent commissions from insurance companies are recognized when determinable, which is generally when such commissions are received.

Trust

BancFirst offers trust services and acts as executor, administrator, trustee, transfer agent and in various other fiduciary capacities. There are four basic types of fees that are included in the trust department income. Administrative fees are assessed for managing trust accounts. Shareholder fees are received in connection with holding specific fund share classes. In return for these services, the mutual fund (or its distributor or investment advisor) pay a fee to BancFirst. Oil and gas fees are assessed for management of oil and gas related activities. There are also other types of fees charged on a one-time basis such as those related to opening and closing trust accounts. BancFirst records trust fees on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis based on the size of the asset being managed. Fees may be fixed or, where applicable, based on a percentage of transaction size of managed assets. These fees are recorded as revenue at the time the fee is billed, according to the agreement with the customer.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
