Results of Operations
Net Interest Revenue and Net Interest Margin

Net interest revenue is the interest earned on debt securities, loans and other interest-earning assets less interest paid for interest-bearing deposits and other borrowings. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest revenue by average interest-earning assets. Net interest spread is the difference between the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is typically greater than net interest spread due to interest income earned on assets funded by non-interest bearing liabilities such as demand deposits and equity.

Net interest revenue totaled $178.6 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $166.8 million for the third quarter of 2014 and $175.7 million for the second quarter of 2015 . Net interest margin was 2.61% for the third quarter of 2015 , 2.67% for the third quarter of 2014 and 2.61% for the second quarter of 2015 .

Net interest revenue increase d $11.8 million over the third quarter of 2014 . Net interest revenue increased $16.0 million primarily due to the growth in average loan balances. Net interest revenue decreased $3.6 million primarily due to lower loan yields, partially offset by lower funding costs and increased yields on the available for sale securities portfolio.

The tax-equivalent yield on earning assets was 2.83% for the third quarter of 2015 , down 10 basis points from the third quarter of 2014 . Loan yields decreased 24 basis points primarily due to continued market pricing pressure and lower interest rates. The available for sale securities portfolio yield increase d 6 basis points to 2.01% . Funding costs were down 9 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2014 . The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 7 basis points and the cost of other borrowed funds increased 3 basis points largely due to the mix of funding sources. The cost of subordinated debentures decrease d 142 basis points as $122 million of fixed-rate subordinated debt matured on June 1, 2015. The cost of this subordinated debt, including issuance discounts and hedge loss was 5.56%. The benefit to net interest margin from earning assets funded by non-interest bearing liabilities was 10 basis points for the third quarter of 2015 and 15 basis points for the third quarter of 2014 .

Average earning assets for the third quarter of 2015 increased $2.4 billion or 9% over the third quarter of 2014 . Average loans, net of allowance for loan losses, increased $1.7 billion due primarily to growth in average commercial and commercial real estate loans. The average balance of interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents was up $821 million over the third quarter of 2014 as borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Banks were deposited in the Federal Reserve to earn a spread. The average balance of available for sale securities decreased $584 million as we reduced the size of our bond portfolio during 2014 through normal monthly runoff to better position the balance sheet for a longer-term rising rate environment. The average balances of fair value option securities held as an economic hedge of our mortgage servicing rights, restricted equity securities, residential mortgage loans held for sale and trading securities were all up over the prior year.

Average deposits increased $466 million over the third quarter of 2014 , including a $287 million increase in average interest-bearing transaction accounts and a $194 million increase in average demand deposit balances. Growth in average savings account balances was offset by a decrease in average time deposits compared to the prior year. Average borrowed funds increased $1.8 billion over the third quarter of 2014 , primarily due to increased borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Banks. The average balance of subordinated debentures decreased $122 million .


- 2 -



Net interest margin was unchanged compared to the second quarter of 2015 . The yield on average earning assets decrease d 1 basis point. The loan portfolio yield decrease d 11 basis points to 3.54% . The second quarter included a 6 basis point benefit from $2.3 million of nonaccrual interest recoveries. Competitive loan pricing and low interest rates continue to impact loan yields. The yield on the available for sale securities portfolio increase d 7 basis point s to 2.01% . Funding costs were down 3 basis point s to 0.32% . The benefit to net interest margin from earning assets funded by non-interest bearing liabilities decrease d 2 basis points.
Average earning assets increase d $203 million during the third quarter of 2015 , primarily due to growth in average outstanding loans of $287 million over the previous quarter. Average commercial real estate loan balances increase d $209 million and average commercial loan balances were up $51 million . The average balance of trading securities increase d $52 million , the average balance of cash and cash equivalents increase d $36 million and the average balance of restricted equity securities increase d $34 million . This growth was partially offset by a $121 million decrease in the average balance of the available for sale securities portfolio and a $63 million decrease in the average balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale.
Average deposits decrease d $401 million compared to the previous quarter. Interest-bearing transaction account balances decrease d $303 million and average time deposit balances decrease d $94 million . The average balance of borrowed funds increase d $684 million over the second quarter of 2015 , primarily due to increased borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Banks, partially offset by a decrease in average repurchase agreement balances. The average balance of subordinated debentures decrease d $82 million .

Our overall objective is to manage the Company’s balance sheet to be relatively neutral to changes in interest rates as is further described in the Market Risk section of this report. More than three-fourths of our commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios are either variable rate or fixed rate that will re-price within one year. These loans are funded primarily by deposit accounts that are either non-interest bearing, or that re-price more slowly than the loans. The result is a balance sheet that would be asset sensitive, which means that assets generally re-price more quickly than liabilities. Among the strategies that we use to manage toward a relatively rate-neutral position, we purchase fixed rate residential mortgage-backed securities issued primarily by U.S. government agencies and fund them with market rate sensitive liabilities. The liability-sensitive nature of this strategy provides an offset to the asset-sensitive characteristics of our loan portfolio. We also may use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risk.

The effectiveness of these strategies is reflected in the overall change in net interest revenue due to changes in interest rates as shown in Table 1 and in the interest rate sensitivity projections as shown in the Market Risk section of this report.

Certain percentage increases (decreases) in non-fees and commissions revenue are not meaningful for comparison purposes based on the nature of the item.

Fees and commissions revenue

Diversified sources of fees and commissions revenue are a significant part of our business strategy and represented 48% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2015 , excluding provision for credit losses and gains and losses on other assets, securities and derivatives and the change in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. We believe that a variety of fee revenue sources provides an offset to changes in interest rates, values in the equity markets, commodity prices and consumer spending, all of which can be volatile. As an example of this strength, many of the economic factors that cause net interest revenue compression such as falling interest rates may also drive growth in our mortgage banking revenue. We expect growth in other operating revenue to come through offering new products and services and by further development of our presence in other markets. However, current and future economic conditions, regulatory constraints, increased competition and saturation in our existing markets could affect the rate of future increases.

Brokerage and trading revenue includes revenues from securities trading, customer hedging, retail brokerage and investment banking. Brokerage and trading revenue decrease d $3.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2014 .

Securities trading revenue was $11.7 million for the third quarter of 2015 , an increase of $2.2 million over the third quarter of 2014 . Securities trading revenue includes net realized and unrealized gains primarily related to sales of U.S. government securities, residential mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and municipal securities to institutional customers.


- 5 -



Customer hedging revenue is based primarily on realized and unrealized changes in the fair value of derivative contracts held for customer risk management programs. As more fully discussed under Customer Derivative Programs in Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, we offer commodity, interest rate, foreign exchange and equity derivatives to our customers. Customer hedging revenue totaled $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 , a $1.6 million decrease compared to the third quarter of 2014 . Higher volumes of derivative contracts executed by our mortgage banking customers were offset by lower volumes of energy, foreign exchange and interest rate contracts.

Revenue earned from retail brokerage transactions decrease d $2.4 million or 29% compared to the third quarter of 2014 to $6.0 million . Retail brokerage revenue is primarily based on fees and commissions earned on sales of fixed income securities, annuities and mutual funds to retail customers. Revenue is primarily based on the volume of customer transactions during the quarter.

Net gains on securities, derivatives and other assets

In the third quarter of 2015 , we recognized a $2.2 million net gain from sales of $451 million of available for sale securities. Securities were sold either because they had reached their expected maximum potential return or to move into securities that will perform better in the current rate environment. In the third quarter of 2014 , we recognized a $146 thousand net gain from sales of $553 million of available for sale securities and in the second quarter of 2015 , we recognized a $3.4 million net gain on sales of $379 million of available for sale securities.

We also maintain a portfolio of residential mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies and interest rate derivative contracts designated as an economic hedge of the changes in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights. The fair value of our mortgage servicing rights fluctuates due to changes in prepayment speeds and other assumptions as more fully described in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As benchmark mortgage rates increase, prepayment speeds slow and the value of our mortgage servicing rights increases. As benchmark mortgage rates fall, prepayment speeds increase and the value of our mortgage servicing rights decreases.

Changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights are highly dependent on changes in primary mortgage rates, rates offered to borrowers, and assumptions about servicing revenues, servicing costs and discount rates. Changes in the fair value of residential mortgage-backed securities and interest rate derivative contracts are highly dependent on changes in secondary mortgage rates, or rates required by investors. While primary and secondary mortgage rates generally move in the same direction, the spread between them may widen and narrow due to market conditions and government intervention. Changes in the spread between the primary and secondary rates can cause significant earnings volatility. Additionally, the fair value of mortgage servicing rights is dependent on short-term interest rates that affect the value of custodial funds, changes in the spread between short-term and long-term interest rates, and other assumptions such as estimated loan servicing costs.
Table 4 following shows the relationship between changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and the fair value of fair value option residential mortgage-backed securities and interest rate derivative contracts designated as an economic hedge.

Share-based compensation expense represents expense for equity awards based on grant-date fair value and is largely unaffected by subsequent changes in fair value. Non-vested shares awarded prior to 2013 generally cliff vest in 5 years. Non-vested shares awarded since January 1, 2013 generally cliff vest in 3 years and are subject to a two year holding period after vesting.

Employee benefit expense increase d $1.2 million or 7% over the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to increased employee retirement plan and payroll tax expense.
Personnel costs decrease d by $3.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2015 , primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in incentive compensation expense and a $1.6 million seasonal decrease in payroll taxes. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in regular compensation expense.

Non-personnel operating expenses

Non-personnel operating expenses decrease d $3.2 million or 3% compared to the third quarter of 2014 . Net losses and operating expenses of repossessed assets were $4.7 million lower than in the prior year. Professional fees and services expense decrease d $4.6 million . The third quarter of 2014 included $2.2 million of risk management and regulatory compliance costs related to testing our systems and processes. Other expense increase d $2.8 million due to accruals for settled litigation. Data processing and communications expense increase d $1.3 million due to increased transaction activity.
Non-personnel expense increase d $1.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2015 . Mortgage banking expense increase d $1.2 million and other expense increase d $1.3 million , partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in business promotion expense.
Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $34.1 million or 31.0% of book taxable income for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $33.8 million or 30.7% of book taxable income for the third quarter of 2014 and $40.6 million or 33.6% of book taxable income for the second quarter of 2015 .

The statute of limitations expired on uncertain income tax positions and the Company adjusted its current income tax liability to amounts on filed tax returns for 2014 during the third quarter of 2015. These adjustments reduced income tax expense by $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 and $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. The Company also made a charitable contribution to the BOKF Foundation in the third quarter of 2015, which reduced income tax expense by $99 thousand . Excluding these adjustments, income tax expense would have been 32.9% of book taxable income for the third quarter of 2015 and 32.8% of book taxable income for the third quarter of 2014.

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects, on January 1, 2015. This standard was retrospectively applied to all periods presented. Approximately $1.9 million was reclassified from pre-tax earnings to income tax expense in the third quarter of 2014 and approximately $7.4 million was reclassified from pre-tax earnings to income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . This reclassification increased the effective tax rate by 120 basis points in the third quarter of 2014 and 150 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . Adoption of this standard did not affect net income.

BOK Financial operates in numerous jurisdictions, which requires judgment regarding the allocation of income, expense and earnings under various laws and regulations of each of these taxing jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction may audit our tax returns and may take different positions with respect to these allocations. The reserve for uncertain tax positions was $14 million at both September 30, 2015 and at June 30, 2015 and $12 million at September 30, 2014 .

Lines of Business

We operate three principal lines of business: Commercial Banking, Consumer Banking and Wealth Management. Commercial Banking includes lending, treasury and cash management services and customer risk management products for small businesses, middle market and larger commercial customers. Commercial Banking also includes the TransFund EFT network. Consumer Banking includes retail lending and deposit services, lending and deposit services to small business customers served through our consumer branch network and all mortgage banking activities. Wealth Management provides fiduciary services, private banking services and investment advisory services in all markets. Wealth Management also underwrites state and municipal securities and engages in brokerage and trading activities.

In addition to our lines of business, we have a Funds Management unit. The primary purpose of this unit is to manage our overall liquidity needs and interest rate risk. Each line of business borrows funds from and provides funds to the Funds Management unit as needed to support their operations. Operating results for Funds Management and other include the effect of interest rate risk positions and risk management activities, securities gains and losses including impairment charges, the provision for credit losses in excess of net loans charged off, tax planning strategies and certain executive compensation costs that are not attributed to the lines of business.

We allocate resources and evaluate the performance of our lines of business using the net direct contribution which includes the allocation of funds, actual net credit losses and capital costs. In addition, we measure the performance of our business lines after allocation of certain indirect expenses and taxes based on statutory rates.

The cost of funds borrowed from the Funds Management unit by the operating lines of business is transfer priced at rates that approximate market rates for funds with similar duration. Market rates are generally based on the applicable LIBOR or interest rate swap rates, adjusted for prepayment risk. This method of transfer-pricing funds that support assets of the operating lines of business tends to insulate them from interest rate risk.

The value of funds provided by the operating lines of business to the Funds Management unit is also based on rates which approximate wholesale market rates for funds with similar duration and re-pricing characteristics. Market rates are generally based on LIBOR or interest rate swap rates. The funds credit formula applied to deposit products with indeterminate maturities is established based on their re-pricing characteristics reflected in a combination of the short-term LIBOR rate and a moving average of an intermediate term swap rate, with an appropriate spread applied to both. Shorter duration products are weighted towards the short term LIBOR rate and longer duration products are weighted towards the intermediate swap rates. The expected duration ranges from 30 days for certain rate-sensitive deposits to five years.

Economic capital is assigned to the business units by a capital allocation model that reflects management’s assessment of risk. This model assigns capital based upon credit, operating, interest rate and other market risk inherent in our business lines and recognizes the diversification benefits among the units. The level of assigned economic capital is a combination of the risk taken by each business line, based on its actual exposures and calibrated to its own loss history where possible. Average invested capital includes economic capital and amounts we have invested in the lines of business.

As shown in Table 6 , net income attributable to our lines of business increase d $3.2 million or 6% over the third quarter of 2014 . Growth in both net interest revenue and fees and commissions revenue was partially offset by increased operating expenses. The third quarter of 2015 had $2.3 million of net charge-offs compared to net recoveries of $228 thousand in the third quarter of 2014 .

Commercial Banking

Commercial deposit service charge revenue increase d $994 thousand . Transaction card revenues from our TransFund electronic funds transfer network were up $931 thousand . These increases were partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease related to the timing and volume of commercial loan syndication fees.

Operating expenses decrease d $3.0 million or 5% compared to the third quarter of 2014 . Personnel costs increased $411 thousand or 1% primarily due to standard annual merit increases, partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense. Non-personnel expenses decrease d $3.4 million or 13% . Net losses and operating expenses of repossessed assets decrease d $5.2 million compared to the prior year. Data processing and communication expense increased $898 thousand related to growth in transaction activity and other expense increased $894 thousand primarily due to merchant banking investment activity.

The average outstanding balance of loans attributed to Commercial Banking grew by $1.7 billion over the third quarter of 2014 to $12.5 billion . See the Loans section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition following for additional discussion of changes in commercial and commercial real estate loans which are primarily attributed to the Commercial Banking segment.
Average deposits attributed to Commercial Banking were $8.6 billion for the third quarter of 2015 , a decrease of $296 million compared to the third quarter of 2014 . Commercial customers continue to maintain high account balances due to continued economic uncertainty and persistently low yields available on high quality investments.


Consumer Banking

Consumer Banking provides retail banking services through four primary distribution channels:  traditional branches, the 24-hour ExpressBank call center, Internet banking and mobile banking. Consumer Banking also conducts mortgage banking activities through offices located outside of our consumer banking markets, through correspondent loan originators and through Home Direct Mortgage, an on-line origination channel.

Consumer Banking contributed $5.1 million to consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2015 , a decrease of $4.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2014 .

Changes in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights, net of economic hedge, resulted in a $2.7 million decrease in Consumer Banking net income in the third quarter of 2015 compared to a $3.0 million increase in Consumer Banking net income in the third quarter of 2014 . Mortgage banking revenue grew by $6.3 million over the prior year, mostly offset by a $3.6 million increase in corporate expense allocations.

Financial Condition
Securities

We maintain a securities portfolio to enhance profitability, manage interest rate risk, provide liquidity and comply with regulatory requirements. Securities are classified as trading, held for investment, or available for sale. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the composition of the securities portfolio as of September 30, 2015 , December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014 .

At September 30, 2015 , the carrying value of investment (held-to-maturity) securities was $612 million and the fair value was $643 million . Investment securities consist primarily of long-term, fixed rate Oklahoma and Texas municipal bonds, taxable Texas school construction bonds and residential mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies. The investment security portfolio is diversified among issuers. The largest obligation of any single issuer is $30million. Substantially all of these bonds are general obligations of the issuers. Approximately $104 million of the Texas school construction bonds are also guaranteed by the Texas Permanent School Fund Guarantee Program supervised by the State Board of Education for the State of Texas.

Available for sale securities, which may be sold prior to maturity, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred taxes, are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. The amortized cost of available for sale securities totaled $8.7 billion at September 30, 2015 , a decrease of $255 million compared to June 30, 2015 . Available for sale securities consist primarily of U.S. government agency residential mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. Commercial mortgage-backed securities have prepayment penalties similar to commercial loans. At September 30, 2015 , residential mortgage-backed securities represented 68% of total available for sale securities.

A primary risk of holding residential mortgage-backed securities comes from extension during periods of rising interest rates or prepayment during periods of falling interest rates. We evaluate this risk through extensive modeling of risk both before making an investment and throughout the life of the security. Our best estimate of the duration of the combined residential mortgage-backed securities portfolio held in investment and available for sale securities at September 30, 2015 is 3.1 years. Management estimates the duration extends to 3.6 years assuming an immediate 200 basis point upward shock. The estimated duration contracts to 2.8 years assuming a 50 basis point decline in the current low rate environment.

Residential mortgage-backed securities also have credit risk from delinquency or default of the underlying loans. We mitigate this risk by primarily investing in securities issued by U.S. government agencies. Principal and interest payments on the underlying loans are fully guaranteed. At September 30, 2015 , approximately $5.7 billion of the amortized cost of the Company’s residential mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government agencies. The fair value of these residential mortgage-backed securities totaled $5.8 billion at September 30, 2015 .

We also hold amortized cost of $134 million in residential mortgage-backed securities privately issued by publicly-owned financial institutions, a decrease of $8.4 million from June 30, 2015 . The decrease was due to cash payments received during the quarter. The fair value of our portfolio of privately issued residential mortgage-backed securities totaled $146 million at September 30, 2015 .

The amortized cost of our portfolio of privately issued residential mortgage-backed securities included $75 million of Jumbo-A residential mortgage loans and $59 million of Alt-A residential mortgage loans. Jumbo-A residential mortgage loans generally meet government underwriting standards, but have loan balances that exceed agency maximums. Alt-A mortgage loans generally do not have sufficient documentation to meet government agency underwriting standards. Approximately 91% of our Alt-A mortgage-backed securities represent pools of fixed rate residential mortgage loans. None of the adjustable rate mortgages are payment option adjustable rate mortgages (“ARMs”). Approximately 30% of our Jumbo-A residential mortgage-backed securities represent pools of fixed rate residential mortgage loans and none of the adjustable rate mortgages are payment option ARMs.

The aggregate gross amount of unrealized losses on available for sale securities totaled $7.9 million at September 30, 2015 , compared to $26 million at June 30, 2015 . On a quarterly basis, we perform separate evaluations on debt and equity securities to determine if the unrealized losses are temporary as more fully described in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in earnings during the third quarter of 2015 .

- 18 -



Certain residential mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies and included in fair value option securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets have been segregated and designated as economic hedges of changes in the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights. We have elected to carry these securities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. These securities are held with the intent that gains or losses will offset changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and related derivative contracts.

BOK Financial is required to hold stock as members of the Federal Reserve system and the Federal Home Loan Banks ("FHLB"). These restricted equity securities are carried at cost as these securities do not have a readily determined fair value because the ownership of these shares are restricted and they lack a market. Federal Reserve Bank stock totaled $35 million and holdings of FHLB stock totaled $228 million at September 30, 2015 . Holdings of FHLB stock increased $32 million over June 30, 2015 . We are required to hold stock in the FHLB in proportion to our borrowings with the FHLB.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance

We have approximately $301 million of bank-owned life insurance at September 30, 2015 . This investment is expected to provide a long-term source of earnings to support existing employee benefit programs. Approximately $270 million is held in separate accounts. Our separate account holdings are invested in diversified portfolios of investment-grade fixed income securities and cash equivalents, including U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The portfolios are managed by unaffiliated professional managers within parameters established in the portfolio’s investment guidelines. The cash surrender value of certain life insurance policies is further supported by a stable value wrap, which protects against changes in the fair value of the investments. At September 30, 2015 , the fair value of investments held in separate accounts was approximately $284 million. As the underlying fair value of the investments held in a separate account at September 30, 2015 exceeded the net book value of the investments, no cash surrender value was supported by the stable value wrap. The stable value wrap is provided by a domestic financial institution. The remaining cash surrender value of $31 million primarily represents the cash surrender value of policies held in general accounts and other amounts due from various insurance companies.

- 19 -



Loans

The aggregate loan portfolio before allowance for loan losses totaled $15.4 billion at September 30, 2015 , an increase of $243 million over June 30, 2015 .

Certain loans previously classified Services in the prior periods have been reclassified to Wholesale/retail to conform with current classification guidelines.

Commercial

Commercial loans represent loans for working capital, facilities acquisition or expansion, purchases of equipment and other needs of commercial customers primarily located within our geographical footprint. Commercial loans are underwritten individually and represent on-going relationships based on a thorough knowledge of the customer, the customer’s industry and market. While commercial loans are generally secured by the customer’s assets including real property, inventory, accounts receivable, operating equipment, interests in mineral rights and other property and may also include personal guarantees of the owners and related parties, the primary source of repayment of the loans is the on-going cash flow from operations of the customer’s business. Inherent lending risks are centrally monitored on a continuous basis from underwriting throughout the life of the loan for compliance with commercial lending policies.

- 20 -




Commercial loans totaled $9.8 billion or 64% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2015 , an increase of $22 million over June 30, 2015 . Healthcare sector loans grew by $96 million , other commercial and industrial loans increase d $60 million and service sector loans increase by $25 million during the quarter. Wholesale/retail sector loans decrease d $72 million and energy loan balances decrease d $64 million compared to June 30, 2015 .

Table 11 presents the commercial sector of our loan portfolio distributed primarily by collateral location. Loans for which collateral location is less relevant, such as unsecured loans and reserve-based energy loans, are distributed by the borrower's primary operating location. The majority of the collateral securing our commercial loan portfolio is located within our geographical footprint with 35% concentrated in the Texas market and 21% concentrated in the Oklahoma market. The Other category is primarily composed of two states, Louisiana and California, which represent $361 million or 4% of the commercial loan portfolio and $214 million or 2% of the commercial loan portfolio, respectively, at September 30, 2015 . All other states individually represent one percent or less of total commercial loans.

Supporting the energy industry with loans to producers and other energy-related entities has been a hallmark of the Company since its founding and represents a large portion of our commercial loan portfolio. In addition, energy production and related industries have a significant impact on the economy in our primary markets. Loans collateralized by oil and gas properties are subject to a semi-annual engineering review by our internal staff of petroleum engineers. This review is utilized as the basis for developing the expected cash flows supporting the loan amount. The projected cash flows are discounted according to risk characteristics of the underlying oil and gas properties. Loans are evaluated to demonstrate with reasonable certainty that crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids can be recovered from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions at current pricing levels and with existing conventional equipment and operating methods and costs. As part of our evaluation of credit quality, we analyze rigorous stress tests over a range of commodity prices and take proactive steps to mitigate risk when appropriate.

Outstanding energy loans totaled $2.8 billion or 18% of total loans at September 30, 2015 . Unfunded energy loan commitments increase d by $147 million to $2.7 billion at September 30, 2015 . Approximately $2.3 billion of energy loans were to oil and gas producers, down $135 million compared to June 30, 2015 . Approximately 61% of the committed production loans are secured by properties primarily producing oil and 39% of the committed production loans are secured by properties primarily producing natural gas. Loans to borrowers that provide services to the energy industry increased $79 million to $323 million at September 30, 2015 . Loans to midstream oil and gas companies totaled $149 million at September 30, 2015 , an increase of $42 million over June 30, 2015 . Loans to other energy borrowers, including those engaged in wholesale or retail energy sales, totaled $35 million , a $50 million decrease compared to the prior quarter.

The services sector of the loan portfolio totaled $2.7 billion or 18% of total loans and consists of a large number of loans to a variety of businesses, including governmental, finance and insurance, not-for-profit, educational services and loans to entities providing services for real estate and construction. Service sector loans increase d by $25 million compared to June 30, 2015 . Service sector loans are generally secured by the assets of the borrower with repayment coming from the cash flows of ongoing operations of the customer’s business.

The healthcare sector of the loan portfolio consists primarily of loans for the development and operation of senior housing and care facilities, including independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing. Healthcare also includes loans to hospitals and other medical service providers.

We participate in shared national credits when appropriate to obtain or maintain business relationships with local customers. Shared national credits are defined by banking regulators as credits of more than $20 million and with three or more non-affiliated banks as participants. At September 30, 2015 , the outstanding principal balance of these loans totaled $3.4 billion. Substantially all of these loans are to borrowers with local market relationships. We serve as the agent lender in approximately 18% of our shared national credits, based on dollars committed. We hold shared credits to the same standard of analysis and perform the same level of review as internally originated credits. Our lending policies generally avoid loans in which we do not have the opportunity to maintain or achieve other business relationships with the customer. In addition to management’s quarterly assessment of credit risk, banking regulators annually review a sample of shared national credits for proper risk grading.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate represents loans for the construction of buildings or other improvements to real estate and property held by borrowers for investment purposes generally within our geographical footprint, with larger concentrations in Texas and Oklahoma which represent 31% and 13% of the total commercial real estate portfolio at September 30, 2015 , respectively. We require collateral values in excess of the loan amounts, demonstrated cash flows in excess of expected debt service requirements, equity investment in the project and a portion of the project already sold, leased or permanent financing already secured. The expected cash flows from all significant new or renewed income producing property commitments are stress tested to reflect the risks in varying interest rates, vacancy rates and rental rates. As with commercial loans, inherent lending risks are centrally monitored on a continuous basis from underwriting throughout the life of the loan for compliance with applicable lending policies.

Commercial real estate loans totaled $3.2 billion or 21% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2015 . The outstanding balance of commercial real estate loans increase d $202 million during the third quarter of 2015 . Retail sector loans increase d $81 million . Loans secured by industrial facilities grew $76 million . Loans secured by office buildings increase d $63 million and loans secured by multifamily residential properties increase d $47 million . These increases were partially offset by a $71 million decrease in other commercial real estate loan balances. The commercial real estate loan balance as a percentage of our total loan portfolio has ranged from 18% to 21% over the past five years. The commercial real estate sector of our loan portfolio distributed by collateral location follows in Table 12 .

Residential Mortgage and Personal

Residential mortgage loans provide funds for our customers to purchase or refinance their primary residence or to borrow against the equity in their home. Residential mortgage loans are secured by a first or second-mortgage on the customer’s primary residence. Personal loans consist primarily of loans to wealth management clients secured by the cash surrender value of insurance policies and marketable securities. It also includes direct loans secured by and for the purchase of automobiles, recreational and marine equipment as well as unsecured loans. Residential mortgage and personal loans are made in accordance with underwriting policies we believe to be conservative and are fully documented. Loans may be individually underwritten or credit scored based on size and other criteria. Credit scoring is assessed based on significant credit characteristics including credit history, residential and employment stability.

Residential mortgage loans totaled $1.9 billion , a $16 million decrease compared to June 30, 2015 . In general, we sell the majority of our conforming fixed rate loan originations in the secondary market and retain the majority of our non-conforming and adjustable-rate mortgage loans. We have no concentration in sub-prime residential mortgage loans. Our mortgage loan portfolio does not include payment option adjustable rate mortgage loans or adjustable rate mortgage loans with initial rates that are below market. Collateral for 98% of our residential mortgage loan portfolio is located within our geographical footprint.

The majority of our permanent mortgage loan portfolio is composed of various non-conforming mortgage programs to support customer relationships including jumbo mortgage loans, non-builder construction loans and special loan programs for high net worth individuals or certain professionals. Jumbo loans may be fixed or variable rate and are fully amortizing. The size of jumbo loans exceed maximums set under government sponsored entity standards, but otherwise generally conform to those standards. These loans generally require a minimum FICO score of 720 and a maximum debt-to-income ratio (“DTI”) of 38%. Loan-to-value ratios (“LTV”) are tiered from 60% to 100%, depending on the market. Special mortgage programs include fixed and variable rate fully amortizing loans tailored to the needs of certain healthcare professionals. Variable rate loans are fully indexed at origination and may have fixed rates for three to ten years, then adjust annually thereafter.

At September 30, 2015 , $193 million of permanent residential mortgage loans are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. We have minimal credit exposure on loans guaranteed by the agencies. This amount includes residential mortgage loans previously sold into GNMA mortgage pools that the Company may repurchase when certain defined delinquency criteria are met. Because of this repurchase right, the Company is deemed to have regained effective control over these loans and must include them on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Permanent residential mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies increase d $1.9 million over June 30, 2015 .

Home equity loans totaled $739 million at September 30, 2015 , a decrease of $8.9 million compared to June 30, 2015 . Our home equity loan portfolio is primarily composed of first-lien, fully amortizing home equity loans. Home equity loans generally require a minimum FICO score of 700 and a maximum DTI of 40%. The maximum loan amount available for our home equity loan products is generally $400 thousand. Revolving loans have a 5 year revolving period followed by a 15 year term of amortizing repayment. Interest-only home equity loans may not be extended for any additional revolving time. All other home equity loans may be extended at management's discretion for an additional 5 year revolving term subject to an update of certain credit information.

Loan Commitments

We enter into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business. These arrangements included unfunded loan commitments which totaled $8.3 billion and standby letters of credit which totaled $480 million at September 30, 2015 . Loan commitments may be unconditional obligations to provide financing or conditional obligations that depend on the borrower’s financial condition, collateral value or other factors. Standby letters of credit are unconditional commitments to guarantee the performance of our customer to a third party. Since some of these commitments are expected to expire before being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Approximately $4.1 million of the outstanding standby letters of credit were issued on behalf of customers whose loans are nonperforming at September 30, 2015 .

As more fully described in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have off-balance sheet commitments related to certain residential mortgage loans originated under community development loan programs that were sold to a U.S. government agency with full recourse. These mortgage loans were underwritten to standards approved by the agencies, including full documentation and originated under programs available only for owner-occupied properties. The Company no longer sells residential mortgage loans with recourse. We are obligated to repurchase these loans for the life of these loans in the event of foreclosure for the unpaid principal and interest at the time of foreclosure. Substantially all of these loans are to borrowers in our primary markets including $106 million to borrowers in Oklahoma, $17 million to borrowers in Arkansas and $12 million to borrowers in New Mexico.

We also have an off-balance sheet obligation to repurchase residential mortgage loans sold to government sponsored entities through our mortgage banking activities due to standard representations and warranties made under contractual agreements as described further in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For the period from 2010 through the third quarter of 2015 combined, approximately 21% of repurchase requests have currently resulted in actual repurchases or indemnification by the Company. The accrual for credit losses related to potential loan repurchases under representations and warranties totaled $3.0 million at September 30, 2015 and $2.8 million at June 30, 2015 .
Customer Derivative Programs
We offer programs that permit our customers to hedge various risks, including fluctuations in energy, cattle and other agricultural product prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Each of these programs work essentially the same way. Derivative contracts are executed between the customers and the Company. Offsetting contracts are executed between the Company and selected counterparties to minimize market risk due to changes in commodity prices, interest rates or foreign exchange rates. The counterparty contracts are identical to the customer contracts, except for a fixed pricing spread or a fee paid to us as compensation for administrative costs, credit risk and profit.

The customer derivative programs create credit risk for potential amounts due to the Company from our customers and from the counterparties. Customer credit risk is monitored through existing credit policies and procedures. The effects of changes in commodity prices, interest rates or foreign exchange rates are evaluated across a range of possible options to determine the maximum exposure we are willing to have individually to any customer. Customers may also be required to provide cash margin or other collateral in conjunction with our credit agreements to further limit our credit risk.

Counterparty credit risk is evaluated through existing policies and procedures. This evaluation considers the total relationship between BOK Financial and each of the counterparties. Individual limits are established by management, approved by Credit Administration and reviewed by the Asset / Liability Committee. Margin collateral is required if the exposure between the Company and any counterparty exceeds established limits. Based on declines in the counterparties’ credit ratings, these limits may be reduced and additional margin collateral may be required.


- 26 -



A deterioration of the credit standing of one or more of the customers or counterparties to these contracts may result in BOK Financial recognizing a loss as the fair value of the affected contracts may no longer move in tandem with the offsetting contracts. This occurs if the credit standing of the customer or counterparty deteriorated such that either the fair value of underlying collateral no longer supported the contract or the customer or the counterparty’s ability to provide margin collateral was impaired. Credit losses on customer derivatives reduce brokerage and trading revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Derivative contracts are carried at fair value. At September 30, 2015 , the net fair values of derivative contracts, before consideration of cash margin, reported as assets under these programs totaled $755 million compared to $652 million at June 30, 2015 . At September 30, 2015 , the fair value of our derivative contracts included $557 million for foreign exchange contracts, $86 million related to to-be-announced residential mortgage-backed securities, $61 million for energy contracts and $43 million for interest rate swaps. The aggregate net fair value of derivative contracts, before consideration of cash margin, held under these programs reported as liabilities totaled $748 million at September 30, 2015 and $643 million at June 30, 2015 .

At September 30, 2015 , total derivative assets were reduced by $29 million of cash collateral received from counterparties and total derivative liabilities were reduced by $112 million of cash collateral paid to counterparties related to instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement.

A table showing the notional and fair value of derivative assets and liabilities on both a gross and net basis is presented in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The fair value of derivative contracts reported as assets under these programs, net of cash margin held by the Company, by category of debtor at September 30, 2015 follows in Table 17 .

At September 30, 2015 , our largest derivative exposure was to an exchange for energy derivative contracts which totaled $29 million. At September 30, 2015 , our aggregate gross exposure to internationally active domestic financial institutions was approximately $195 million comprised of $175 million of cash and securities positions and $20 million of gross derivative positions. We have no direct exposure to European sovereign debt and our aggregate gross exposure to European financial institutions totaled $35 million at September 30, 2015 .

Our customer derivative program also introduces liquidity and capital risk. We are required to provide cash margin to certain counterparties when the net negative fair value of the contracts exceeds established limits. Also, changes in commodity prices affect the amount of regulatory capital we are required to hold as support for the fair value of our derivative assets. These risks are modeled as part of the management of these programs. Based on current prices, a decrease in market prices equivalent to $24.84 per barrel of oil would decrease the fair value of derivative assets by $381 thousand. An increase in prices equivalent to $83.34 per barrel of oil would increase the fair value of derivative assets by $37 million as current prices move towards the fixed prices embedded in our existing contracts. Liquidity requirements of this program are also affected by our credit rating. A decrease in our credit rating to below investment grade would increase our obligation to post cash margin on existing contracts by approximately $21 million . The fair value of our to-be-announced residential mortgage-backed securities and interest rate swap derivative contracts is affected by changes in interest rates. Based on our assessment as of September 30, 2015 , changes in interest rates would not materially impact regulatory capital or liquidity needed to support this portion of our customer derivative program.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience

We maintain an allowance for loan losses and an accrual for off-balance sheet credit risk. The combined allowance for loan losses and off-balance sheet credit losses totaled $208 million or 1.35% of outstanding loans and 232% of nonaccruing loans at September 30, 2015 . The allowance for loan losses was $204 million and the accrual for off-balance sheet credit losses was $3.6 million . At June 30, 2015 , the combined allowance for credit losses was $202 million or 1.34% of outstanding loans and 222% of nonaccruing loans. The allowance for loan losses was $201 million and the accrual for off-balance sheet credit losses was $882 thousand .

The provision for credit losses is the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses and an accrual for off-balance sheet credit risk at an amount determined by management to be appropriate based on its evaluation. The provision includes the combined charge to expense for both the allowance for loan losses and the accrual for off-balance sheet credit risk. All losses incurred from lending activities will ultimately be reflected in charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses following funds advanced against outstanding commitments. After evaluating all credit factors, the Company determined that a $7.5 million provision for credit losses was necessary during the third quarter of 2015 , due to credit migration in the energy portfolio and loan portfolio growth. A $4.0 million provision for credit losses was recorded in the second quarter of 2015 and no provision for credit losses was necessary in the third quarter of 2014 .

Allowance for Loan Losses

The appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses is assessed by management based on an ongoing quarterly evaluation of the probable estimated losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance consists of specific allowances attributed to certain impaired loans, general allowances based on estimated loss rates by loan class and non-specific allowances based on general economic conditions, concentration in loans with large balances and other relevant factors.

Loans are considered to be impaired when it is probable that we will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. This includes all nonaccruing loans, all loans modified in troubled debt restructurings and all government guaranteed loans repurchased from GNMA pools. At September 30, 2015 , impaired loans totaled $278 million , including $14 million with specific allowances of $5.0 million and $264 million with no specific allowances because the loan balances represent the amounts we expect to recover. At June 30, 2015 , impaired loans totaled $278 million , including $1.7 million of impaired loans with specific allowances of $465 thousand and $276 million with no specific allowances.


- 29 -



General allowances for unimpaired loans are based on an estimated loss rate by loan class. Estimated loss rates for risk-graded loans are either increased or decreased based on changes in risk grading for each loan class. Estimated loss rates for both risk-graded and non-risk graded loans may be further adjusted for inherent risk identified for the given loan class which have not yet been captured in the loss rate.

The aggregate amount of general allowances for all unimpaired loans totaled $171 million at September 30, 2015 , largely unchanged from June 30, 2015 .

Nonspecific allowances are maintained for risks beyond factors specific to a particular portfolio segment or loan class. These factors include trends in the economy in our primary lending areas, concentrations in loans with large balances and other relevant factors. Nonspecific allowances totaled $28 million at September 30, 2015 , compared to $29 million at June 30, 2015 . The nonspecific allowance includes consideration of the indirect impact of falling energy prices on the broader economies within our geographical footprint that are highly dependent on the energy industry. The nonspecific allowance also considers the possible impact of the European debt crisis and similar economic factors on our loan portfolio. As demonstrated by continued domestic and European accommodative monetary policies, these factors remain a continued significant risk, although they have remained stable compared to the previous quarter.

An allocation of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment is included in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our loan monitoring process also identified loans that possess more than the normal amount of risk due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the collateral. Because the borrowers are still performing in accordance with the original terms of the loan agreements, and no loss of principal or interest is anticipated, these loans were not included in nonperforming assets. Known information does, however, cause management concern as to the borrowers’ ability to comply with current repayment terms. These potential problem loans totaled $120 million at September 30, 2015 , primarily composed of $96 million of energy loans, $8.1 million of service sector loans $7.7 million of loans secured by multifamily residential properties. Potential problem loans totaled $181 million at June 30, 2015 including $124 million of potential problem energy loans.

Our performing loan totals include loans that management considers to be "other loans especially mentioned" based on regulatory guidelines. Other loans especially mentioned are in compliance with the original terms of the agreement but may have a weakness that deserves management's close attention. Energy loans classified as other loans especially mentioned totaled $196 million or 7% of outstanding energy loans at September 30, 2015 and $113 million or 4% outstanding energy loans at June 30, 2015.

We continue to believe that the credit quality of our energy loan portfolio is sound as supported by an update of our stress test at quarter end. We modified our assumptions slightly with oil prices starting at $34 per barrel for year one and escalating gradually to $45 per barrel in year five. Our natural gas stress test started at $2.25 in year one and gradually escalates to $2.70 in year five. The results of the updated stress test did not alter the general view that the loan portfolio is currently well positioned. The portion of the combined allowance for credit losses attributed to the energy portfolio totaled 2.05% of outstanding energy loans at September 30, 2015, an increase from 1.74% of outstanding energy loans at June 30, 2015.
Net Loans Charged Off

Loans are charged off against the allowance for loan losses when the loan balance or a portion of the loan balance is no longer covered by the paying capacity of the borrower based on an evaluation of available cash resources and collateral value. Internally risk graded loans are evaluated quarterly and charge-offs are taken in the quarter in which the loss is identified. Non-risk graded loans are generally charged off when payments are between 60 days and 180 days past due, depending on loan class. In addition, non-risk graded loans are generally charged-down to collateral value within 60 days of being notified of a borrower's bankruptcy filing, regardless of payment status.

BOK Financial had net loans charged off of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2015 , compared to net loans charged off of $671 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 and net recoveries of $476 thousand in the third quarter of 2014 . The ratio of net loans charged off (recovered) to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.05% for the third quarter of 2015 , compared with 0.02% for the second quarter of 2015 and (0.01)% for the third quarter of 2014 .


- 30 -



Net commercial loans charged off totaled $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2015 , compared to net loans charged off of $196 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 . Net commercial real estate loan recoveries were $1.9 million in the third quarter, compared to net recoveries of $259 thousand in the second quarter. Residential mortgage net charge-offs were $241 thousand and personal loan net charge-offs were $639 thousand for the third quarter. Personal loan net charge-offs include deposit account overdraft losses.

Approximately $50 million was reclassified from Real estate and other repossessed assets to Receivables on the balance sheet on January 1, 2015 with the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-14, Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure ("ASU 2014-14"). Upon foreclosure of loans for which the loan balance is expected to be recovered from the guarantee by a U.S. government agency, the loan balance will be directly reclassified to other receivables without including such foreclosed assets in real estate and other repossessed assets.

Excludes residential mortgages guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. Government.

Nonperforming assets totaled $204 million or 1.33% of outstanding loans and repossessed assets at September 30, 2015 . Nonaccruing loans totaled $89 million , accruing renegotiated residential mortgage loans totaled $82 million and real estate and other repossessed assets totaled $33 million . All accruing renegotiated residential mortgage loans and $3.9 million of nonaccruing loans are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. Excluding assets guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, nonperforming assets decrease d $4.1 million during the third quarter. The Company generally retains nonperforming assets to maximize potential recovery which may cause future nonperforming assets to decrease more slowly.

Loans are generally classified as nonaccruing when it becomes probable that we will not collect the full contractual principal and interest. As more fully discussed in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we may modify loans in troubled debt restructurings. Modifications may include extension of payment terms and rate concessions. We generally do not forgive principal or accrued but unpaid interest. All loans modified in troubled debt restructurings, except for residential mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, are classified as nonaccruing. We may also renew matured nonaccruing loans. All nonaccruing loans, including those renewed or modified in troubled debt restructurings, are charged off when the loan balance is no longer covered by the paying capacity of the borrower based on a quarterly evaluation of available cash resources and collateral value. All nonaccruing loans generally remain on nonaccrual status until full collection of principal and interest in accordance with the original terms, including principal previously charged off, is probable. We generally do not voluntarily modify personal loans to troubled borrowers. Personal loans modified at the direction of bankruptcy court orders are identified as troubled debt restructurings and classified as nonaccruing.

At September 30, 2015 , renegotiated loans consist solely of accruing residential mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of troubled debt restructurings. Generally, we modify residential mortgage loans primarily by reducing interest rates and extending the number of payments in accordance with U.S. government agency guidelines. Generally, no unpaid principal or interest is forgiven. Interest continues to accrue based on the modified terms of the loan. Modified loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies under residential mortgage loan programs may be sold once they become eligible according to U.S. government agency guidelines.

Upon foreclosure of loans for which the loan balance is expected to be recovered from the guarantee by a U.S. government agency, the loan balance will be directly reclassified to other receivables without including such foreclosed assets in real estate and other repossessed assets.

Residential Mortgage and Personal

Nonaccruing residential mortgage loans totaled $44 million or 2.36% of outstanding residential mortgage loans at September 30, 2015 , compared to $46 million or 2.44% of outstanding residential mortgage loans at June 30, 2015 . Newly identified nonaccruing residential mortgage loans totaled $5.4 million , offset by $3.4 million of payments, $3.1 million of foreclosures and $446 thousand of loans charged off during the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital

Subsidiary Bank

Deposits and borrowed funds are the primary sources of liquidity for the subsidiary bank. Based on the average balances for the third quarter of 2015 , approximately 67% of our funding was provided by deposit accounts, 18% from borrowed funds, 1% from long-term subordinated debt and 11% from equity. Our funding sources, which primarily include deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Banks and other banks, provide adequate liquidity to meet our operating needs.

Deposit accounts represent our largest funding source. We compete for retail and commercial deposits by offering a broad range of products and services and focusing on customer convenience. Retail deposit growth is supported through our Perfect Banking sales and customer service program, free checking, on-line bill paying services, mobile banking services, an extensive network of branch locations and ATMs and a 24-hour Express Bank call center. Commercial deposit growth is supported by offering treasury management and lockbox services. We also acquire brokered deposits when the cost of funds is advantageous to other funding sources.

Average deposits for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $20.7 billion and represented approximately 67% of total liabilities and capital, compared with $21.1 billion and 69% of total liabilities and capital for the second quarter of 2015 . Average deposits decrease d $401 million from the second quarter of 2015 . Average interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts decrease d $303 million and and average time deposits decrease d $94 million .

Average Commercial Banking deposit balances decrease d $302 million compared to the second quarter of 2015 , primarily due to a seasonal decline in Public Funds customer balances. Commercial customers continue to retain large cash reserves primarily due to low yields available on other high quality investment alternatives and to minimize deposit service charges through the earnings credit. The earnings credit is a non-cash method that enables commercial customers to offset deposit service charges based on account balances. If economic activity were to improve significantly or if short-term interest rates were to increase, deposits may decline as customers deploy funds into projects or shift demand deposits into money market instruments.

Average Consumer Banking deposit balances decrease d $48 million . Demand deposit balances decrease d $27 million and time deposits decrease d $32 million . Interest-bearing transaction deposits grew by $13 million . Average Wealth Management deposits decrease d $32 million compared to the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to a $68 million decrease in time deposit balances, partially offset by a $40 million increase in demand deposits.

Brokered deposits, included in time deposits, averaged $400 million for the third quarter of 2015 , a decrease of $48 million compared to the second quarter of 2015 . Average interest-bearing transaction accounts for the third quarter included $579 million of brokered deposits, a decrease of $1.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2015 . Changes in average brokered deposits largely affect Funds Management and Other.

In addition to deposits, subsidiary bank liquidity is provided primarily by federal funds purchased, securities repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. Federal funds purchased consist primarily of unsecured, overnight funds acquired from other financial institutions. Funds are primarily purchased from bankers’ banks and Federal Home Loan banks from across the country. There were no wholesale federal funds purchased outstanding at September 30, 2015 . Securities repurchase agreements generally mature within 90 days and are secured by certain available for sale securities. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings are generally short term and are secured by a blanket pledge of eligible collateral (generally unencumbered U.S. Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities, 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, multifamily and other qualifying commercial real estate loans). Amounts borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka averaged $4.7 billion during the quarter, compared to $4.0 billion in the second quarter of 2015 .

At September 30, 2015 , the estimated unused credit available to the subsidiary bank from collateralized sources was approximately $5.2 billion.

A summary of other borrowings by the subsidiary bank follows in Table 25 .

In 2007, the Company issued $250 million of subordinated debt due May 15, 2017 to fund the Worth National Bank and First United Bank acquisitions and fund continued asset growth. Interest on this debt was based on a fixed rate of 5.75% through May 14, 2012 which then converted to a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 0.69%. At September 30, 2015 , $227 million of this subordinated debt remains outstanding.
In 2005, the Bank issued $150 million of 10-year, fixed rate subordinated debt. The cost of this subordinated debt, including issuance discounts and hedge loss is 5.56%. The proceeds of this debt were used to repay $95 million of BOK Financial's unsecured revolving line of credit and to provide additional capital to support asset growth. The remaining outstanding balance of $122 million matured on June 1, 2015.
The Bank also has a liability related to the repurchase of certain delinquent residential mortgage loans previously sold in GNMA mortgage pools. Interest is payable monthly at rates contractually due to investors.
Parent Company

At September 30, 2015 , cash and interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents held by the Parent Company totaled $298 million. The primary sources of liquidity for BOK Financial are cash on hand and dividends from the subsidiary bank. Dividends from the subsidiary bank are limited by various banking regulations to net profits, as defined, for the year plus retained profits for the two preceding years. Dividends are further restricted by minimum capital requirements. At September 30, 2015 , based upon the most restrictive limitations as well as management's internal capital policy, the subsidiary bank could declare up to $245 million of dividends without regulatory approval. Dividend constraints may be alleviated through increases in retained earnings, capital issuances or changes in risk weighted assets. Future losses or increases in required regulatory capital at the subsidiary bank could affect its ability to pay dividends to the parent company.

The Company had a $100 million senior unsecured 364 day revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, administrative agent and other commercial banks (“the Credit Facility”) which matured on June 5, 2015 and was not renewed by us.

Our equity capital at September 30, 2015 was $3.4 billion , an increase of $3.3 million over June 30, 2015 . Net income less cash dividends paid increase d equity $46 million during the third quarter of 2015 . Accumulated other comprehensive income increased $34 million primarily related to the change in unrealized gains on available for sale securities due to changes in interest rates. The Company also repurchased $80 million of our common stock during the third quarter of 2015 . Capital is managed to maximize long-term value to the shareholders. Factors considered in managing capital include projections of future earnings, asset growth and acquisition strategies, and regulatory and debt covenant requirements. Capital management may include subordinated debt issuance, share repurchase and stock and cash dividends.

On April 24, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to two million shares of our common stock. The specific timing and amount of shares repurchased will vary based on market conditions, regulatory limitations and other factors. Repurchases may be made over time in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company has repurchased all 2,000,000 shares authorized under this program for $124 million. The Company repurchased 1,258,348 shares during the third quarter of 2015 .

On October 27, 2015 , the board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to five million additional common shares, subject to market conditions, securities law and other regulatory compliance limitations.

BOK Financial and the subsidiary bank are subject to various capital requirements administered by federal agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material impact on operations. These capital requirements include quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items. The capital standards are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators.
New capital rules were effective for BOK Financial on January 1, 2015. Components of these rules will phase in through January 1, 2019. The new capital rules reduced instruments that qualify as regulatory capital and generally increased risk weighted assets. The impact of these changes was partially offset by improved data granularity. The new capital rules establish a 7% threshold for the common equity Tier 1 ratio consisting of a minimum level plus capital conservation buffer. The Company has elected to exclude unrealized gains and losses from available for sale securities from its calculation of Tier 1 capital, consistent with the treatment under previous capital rules.

The rules also change both the Tier 1 risk based capital requirements and the total risk based requirements to a minimum of 6% and 8%, respectively, plus a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% totaling 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively. The leverage ratio requirement under the rule is 4%. A bank which falls below these levels, including the capital conservation buffer, would be subject to regulatory restrictions on capital distributions (including but not limited to dividends and share repurchases) and executive bonus payments.

The capital ratios for BOK Financial on a consolidated basis are presented in Table 26 .

Capital resources of financial institutions are also regularly measured by the tangible common shareholders’ equity ratio. Tangible common shareholders’ equity is shareholders’ equity as defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) less intangible assets and equity which does not benefit common shareholders. Equity that does not benefit common shareholders includes preferred equity. This non-GAAP measure is a valuable indicator of a financial institution’s capital strength since it eliminates intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and retains the effect of unrealized losses on securities and other components of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

Table 27 provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.

On June 17, 2015, BOK Financial published the results of its annual capital stress test. In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve must publish regulations that require bank holding companies with $10 billion to $50 billion in assets to perform annual capital stress tests. The requirements for annual capital stress tests became effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test ("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 Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on its financial condition and regulatory capital ratios over a nine-quarter time horizon. Under the scenario provided by the regulatory agencies, all capital ratio measures remain comfortably above minimum regulatory thresholds. Additional information concerning the annual stress test may be found on the Company's Investor Relations page at www.bokf.com under the "Presentations" tab. The results of future capital stress tests may place constraints on capital distributions or increases in required regulatory capital under certain circumstances.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Market Risk

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices. Financial instruments that are subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading or held for purposes other than trading. Market risk excludes changes in fair value due to the credit of the individual issuers of financial instruments.

BOK Financial is subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on both its assets held for purposes other than trading and trading assets. The effects of other changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices do not pose significant market risk to BOK Financial. BOK Financial has no material investments in assets that are affected by changes in foreign exchange rates or equity prices. Energy and agricultural product derivative contracts, which are affected by changes in commodity prices, are matched against offsetting contracts as previously discussed.

The Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for managing market risk in accordance with policy guidelines established by the Board of Directors. The Committee monitors projected variation in net interest revenue, net income and economic value of equity due to specified changes in interest rates. The internal policy limit for net interest revenue variation is a maximum decline of 5% to an up or down 200 basis point change over twelve months. These guidelines also set maximum levels for short-term borrowings, short-term assets, public funds and brokered deposits and establish minimum levels for unpledged assets, among other things. Compliance with these internal guidelines is reviewed monthly.

Interest Rate Risk – Other than Trading
As previously noted in the Net Interest Revenue section of this report, management has implemented strategies to manage the Company’s balance sheet to have relatively limited exposure to changes in interest rates over a twelve-month period. The effectiveness of these strategies in managing the overall interest rate risk is evaluated through the use of an asset/liability model. BOK Financial performs a sensitivity analysis to identify more dynamic interest rate risk exposures, including embedded option positions on net interest revenue, net income and economic value of equity. A simulation model is used to estimate the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company's performance across multiple interest rate scenarios. While the current internal policy limit for net interest revenue variation is a maximum decline of 5% or 200 basis point change over twelve months, the results of a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates in the current low-rate environment are not meaningful. We report the effect of a 50 basis point decrease in the interim.

The Company’s primary interest rate exposures include the Federal Funds rate, which affects short-term borrowings, and the prime lending rate and LIBOR, which are the basis for much of the variable rate loan pricing. Additionally, residential mortgage rates directly affect the prepayment speeds for residential mortgage-backed securities and mortgage servicing rights. Derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments used for purposes other than trading are included in this simulation. In addition, the impact on the level and composition of DDA and other core deposit balances resulting from a significant increase in short-term market interest rates and the overall interest rate environment is likely to be material. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the effects of such changes based on a combination of historical analysis and expected behavior. The impact of planned growth and new business activities is factored into the simulation model. The effects of changes in interest rates on the value of mortgage servicing rights are excluded from Table 28 due to the extreme volatility over such a large rate range and our active risk management approach for that asset. The effects of interest rate changes on the value of mortgage servicing rights and financial instruments identified as economic hedges are presented in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions regarding the effects of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of re-pricing characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest revenue, net income or economic value of equity or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest revenue, net income or economic value of equity. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

Trading Activities

BOK Financial enters into trading activities both as an intermediary for customers and for its own account. As an intermediary, BOK Financial will take positions in securities, generally residential mortgage-backed securities, government agency securities and municipal bonds. These securities are purchased for resale to customers, which include individuals, corporations, foundations and financial institutions. On a limited basis, BOK Financial may also take trading positions in U.S. Treasury securities, residential mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds to enhance returns on its securities portfolios. Both of these activities involve interest rate risk. BOK Financial has an insignificant exposure to foreign exchange risk and does not take positions in commodity derivatives.

A variety of methods are used to manage the interest rate risk of trading activities. These methods include daily marking of all positions to market value, independent verification of inventory pricing, and position limits for each trading activity. Hedges in either the futures, over the counter derivatives or cash markets may be used to reduce the risk associated with some trading programs.

Management uses a Value at Risk ("VaR") methodology to measure market risk due to changes in interest rates inherent in its trading activities. VaR is calculated based upon historical simulations over the past five years using a variance/covariance matrix of interest rate changes, a 10 business day holding period and a 99% confidence interval. It represents an amount of market loss that is likely to be exceeded in only one out of every 100 two-week periods. Trading positions are managed within guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. These guidelines limit the VaR to $7.3 million. There were no instances of VaR being exceeded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 . At September 30, 2015 , there were no trading positions for the purposes of enhancing returns on the Company's securities portfolio.

The average, high and low VaR amounts for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 are as follows in Table 29 .

Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b), BOK Financial’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by their report, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. As required by Rule 13a-15(d), BOK Financial’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the quarter covered by this report.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

( 1 ) Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of BOK Financial Corporation (“BOK Financial” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include accounts of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries, principally BOKF, NA (“the Bank”), BOSC, Inc., The Milestone Group, Inc. and Cavanal Hill Investment Management Inc. Operating divisions of the Bank include Bank of Albuquerque, Bank of Arizona, Bank of Arkansas, Bank of Oklahoma, Bank of Texas, Colorado State Bank and Trust, Bank of Kansas City, BOK Financial Mortgage and the TransFund electronic funds network.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

The financial information should be read in conjunction with BOK Financial’s 2014 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains audited financial statements. Amounts presented as of December 31, 2014 have been derived from the audited financial statements included in BOK Financial’s 2014 Form 10-K but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Operating results for the nine -month period ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 .

Newly Adopted and Pending Accounting Policies

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects ("ASU 2014-01")

On January 15, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01 to simplify the amortization method an entity uses and modify the criteria to elect a measurement and presentation alternative, including the simplified amortization method, for certain investments in qualified affordable housing projects. This alternative permits the entity to present the investment's performance net of the related tax benefits as part of income tax expense. ASU 2014-01 was effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Adoption of ASU 2014-01 affected income statement presentation, but otherwise did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure ("ASU 2014-04")

On January 17, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04 to clarify when an entity is considered to have obtained physical possession (from an in-substance possession or foreclosure) of a residential real estate property collateralizing a mortgage loan. Upon physical possession of such real property, an entity is required to reclassify the nonperforming mortgage loan to other real estate owned. ASU 2014-04 was effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Adoption of ASU 2014-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


- 53 -



FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09")

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue by providing a more robust framework that will give greater consistency and comparability in revenue recognition practices. In the new framework, an entity recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services. The new model requires the identification of performance obligations included in contracts with customers, a determination of the transaction price and an allocation of the price to those performance obligations. The entity recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's financial statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-14, Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure ("ASU 2014-14")

On August 8, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14 to give greater consistency in the classification of government-guaranteed loans upon foreclosure. ASU 2014-14 applies to all loans that contain a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan or for which the creditor has both the intent and ability to recover a fixed amount under the guarantee by conveying the property to the guarantor. Upon foreclosure, the creditor should reclassify the mortgage loan to an other receivable that is separate from loans and should measure the receivable at the amount of the loan balance expected to be recovered from the guarantor. ASU 2014-14 was effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. At January 1, 2015, approximately $50 million of real estate owned was reclassified from Real estate and other repossessed assets to Receivables on the balance sheet with adoption of ASC 2014-14.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share is More Akin to Debt or to Equity ("ASU 2014-16")

On November 3, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16 to eliminate the use of different methods and reduce diversity under GAAP in the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share. For hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of share, an entity should determine the nature of the host contract by considering all stated and implied substantive terms and features of the hybrid financial instrument. The entity should determine the nature of the host contract by considering the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument, including the embedded derivative feature that is being evaluated for separate accounting from the host contract. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2014-16 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02")

On February 18, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 to address concerns that current U.S. GAAP may require a reporting entity to consolidate another legal entity where the reporting entity's contractual rights do not give it the ability to act primarily on its own behalf, the reporting entity does not hold a majority of the legal entity's voting rights, or the reporting entity is not exposed to a majority of the legal entity's economic benefits or obligations. The amendments affect limited partnerships and similar legal entities, the evaluation of fees paid to a decision maker or a service provider as a variable interest, the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination, and certain investment funds. The ASU will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015 for public companies. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have on the Company's financial statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) ("ASU 2015-07")

On May 1, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07 to gain consistency within the categorization of the fair value hierarchy. The update removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. It also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The ASU is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2016 and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-07 will have on the Company's financial statements.

Includes securities for which an unrealized loss remains in AOCI after an other-than-temporary credit loss has been recognized in income.

On a quarterly basis, the Company performs separate evaluations of impaired debt and equity investments and available for sale securities to determine if the unrealized losses are temporary.
For debt securities, management determines whether it intends to sell or if it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell impaired securities. This determination considers current and forecasted liquidity requirements, regulatory and capital requirements and securities portfolio management. Based on this evaluation as of September 30, 2015 , the Company does not intend to sell any impaired available for sale securities before fair value recovers to the current amortized cost and it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell impaired securities before fair value recovers, which may be maturity.

Impairment of debt securities rated investment grade by all nationally-recognized rating agencies is considered temporary unless specific contrary information is identified. None of the debt securities rated investment grade were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2015 .

At September 30, 2015 , the entire portfolio of privately issued residential mortgage-backed securities was rated below investment grade. The gross unrealized loss on these securities totaled $1.0 million . Ratings by the nationally-recognized rating agencies are subjective in nature and accordingly ratings can vary significantly amongst the agencies. Limitations generally expressed by the rating agencies include statements that ratings do not predict the specific percentage default likelihood over any given period of time and that ratings do not opine on expected loss severity of an obligation should the issuer default. As such, the impairment of securities rated below investment grade was evaluated to determine if we expect not to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. This evaluation was based on projections of estimated cash flows based on individual loans underlying each security using current and anticipated increases in unemployment and default rates, decreases in housing prices and estimated liquidation costs at foreclosure.

The primary assumptions used in this evaluation were:

Sept. 30, 2015
Dec. 31, 2014
Sept. 30, 2014
Unemployment rate
Moving down to 5.1% over the next 12 months and remain at 5.1% thereafter.
Held constant at 5.6% over the next 12 months and remain at 5.6% thereafter.
Moving down to 6.2% over the next 12 months and remains at 6.2% thereafter.
Housing price appreciation/depreciation
Starting with current depreciated housing prices based on information derived from the FHFA 1 , appreciating 3.2% over the next 12 months, then flat for the following 12 months and then appreciating at 2% per year thereafter.
Starting with current depreciated housing prices based on information derived from the FHFA 1 , appreciating 3.2% over the next 12 months, then flat for the following 12 months and then appreciating at 2% per year thereafter.
Starting with current depreciated housing prices based on information derived from the FHFA 1 , appreciating 4% over the next 12 months, then flat for the following 12 months and then appreciating at 2% per year thereafter.
Estimated liquidation costs
Reflect actual historical liquidations costs observed on Jumbo and Alt-A residential mortgage loans in securities owned by the Company.
Reflect actual historical liquidations costs observed on Jumbo and Alt-A residential mortgage loans in securities owned by the Company.

Discount rates
Estimated cash flows were discounted at rates that range from 2.00% to 6.25% based on our current expected yields.
Estimated cash flows were discounted at rates that range from 2.00% to 6.25% based on our current expected yields.

We also consider the current loan-to-value ratio and remaining credit enhancement as part of the assessment of the cash flows available to recover the amortized cost of the debt securities. Each factor is considered in the evaluation.

The Company calculates the current loan-to-value ratio for each mortgage-backed security using loan-level data. The current loan-to-value ratio is the current outstanding loan amount divided by an estimate of the current home value. The current home value is derived from FHFA data. FHFA provides historical information on home price depreciation at both the Metropolitan Statistical Area and state level.  This information is matched to each loan to estimate the home price depreciation. Data is accumulated from the loan level to determine the current loan-to-value ratio for the security as a whole.

Remaining credit enhancement is the amount of credit enhancement available to absorb current projected losses within the pool of loans that support the security. The Company acquires the benefit of credit enhancement by investing in senior or super-senior tranches for many of our residential mortgage-backed securities. Subordinated tranches held by other investors are specifically designed to absorb losses before the senior or super-senior tranches, which effectively increases the typical credit support for these types of bonds. Current projected losses consider depreciation of home prices based on FHFA data, estimated costs and additional losses to liquidate collateral and delinquency status of the individual loans underlying the security.

Credit loss impairment is recorded as a charge to earnings. Additional impairment based on the difference between the total unrealized loss and the estimated credit loss on these securities is charged against other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes. No credit loss impairments of were recognized in earnings on privately issued residential mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2015 .

Impaired equity securities, including perpetual preferred stocks, are evaluated based on management's ability and intent to hold the securities until fair value recovers over periods not to exceed three years. The assessment of the ability and intent to hold these securities focuses on the liquidity needs, asset/liability management objectives and securities portfolio objectives. Factors considered when assessing recovery include forecasts of general economic conditions and specific performance of the issuer, analyst ratings and credit spreads for preferred stocks which have debt-like characteristics. The Company has evaluated the near-term prospects of the investments in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment and based on that evaluation has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery in fair value. Accordingly, all impairment of equity securities was considered temporary at September 30, 2015 .

Restricted Equity Securities

Restricted equity securities primarily include stock we are required to hold as members of the Federal Reserve system and the Federal Home Loan Banks. Restricted equity securities are carried at cost as these securities do not have a readily determined fair value because ownership of these shares are restricted and lacks a market.

( 3 ) Derivatives
Derivative instruments may be used by the Company as part of its interest rate risk management programs or may be offered to customers. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are reported in earnings as they occur. Credit risk is also considered in determining fair value.

When bilateral netting agreements or similar arrangements exist between the Company and its counterparties that create a single legal claim or obligation to pay or receive the net amount in settlement of the individual derivative contracts, the Company reports derivative assets and liabilities on a net by derivative contract type by counterparty basis.

Derivative contracts may require the Company to provide or receive cash margin as collateral for derivative assets and liabilities. Derivative assets and liabilities are reported net of cash margin when certain conditions are met. In addition, derivative contracts executed with customers under Customer Risk Management Programs may be secured by non-cash collateral in conjunction with a credit agreement with that customer. Access to collateral, in the event of default is reasonably assured. As of September 30, 2015 , a decrease in BOK Financial's credit rating to below investment grade would increase our obligation to post cash margin on existing contracts by approximately $21 million .
None of these derivative contracts have been designated as hedging instruments.

Customer Risk Management Programs
BOK Financial offers programs to permit its customers to manage various risks, including fluctuations in energy, cattle and other agricultural products, and foreign exchange rates, or to take positions in derivative contracts. Customers may also manage interest rate risk through interest rate swaps used by borrowers to modify interest rate terms of their loans or to-be-announced securities used by mortgage banking customers to hedge their loan production. Derivative contracts are executed between the customers and BOK Financial. Offsetting contracts are executed between BOK Financial and other selected counterparties to minimize the risk of changes in commodity prices, interest rates or foreign exchange rates. The counterparty contracts are identical to customer contracts, except for a fixed pricing spread or fee paid to BOK Financial as profit and compensation for administrative costs and credit risk which is recognized over the life of the contracts and included in other operating revenue – brokerage and trading revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Interest Rate Risk Management Programs
BOK Financial may use derivative contracts in managing its interest rate sensitivity and as part of its economic hedge of the change in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. Interest rate swaps are generally used to reduce overall asset sensitivity by converting specific fixed-rate liabilities to floating-rate based on LIBOR. As of September 30, 2015 , derivative contracts under the interest rate risk management program were primarily used as part of the economic hedge of the change in the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights.

As discussed in Note 6 , certain derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments related to mortgage loan commitments and forward sales contracts are included in Residential mortgage loans held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 6 for additional discussion of notional, fair value and impact on earnings of these contracts. Forward sales contracts are not considered swaps under the Commodity and Futures Trading Commission final rules.

( 4 ) Loans and Allowances for Credit Losses

Loans

Loans are either secured or unsecured based on the type of loan and the financial condition of the borrower. Repayment is generally expected from cash flow or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrower. BOK Financial is exposed to risk of loss on loans due to the borrower’s difficulties, which may arise from any number of factors, including problems within the respective industry or local economic conditions. Access to collateral, in the event of borrower default, is reasonably assured through adherence to applicable lending laws and through sound lending standards and credit review procedures. Accounting policies for all loans, excluding residential mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, are as follows.

Interest is accrued at the applicable interest rate on the principal amount outstanding. Loans are placed on nonaccruing status when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is uncertain. Internally risk graded loans are individually evaluated for nonaccruing status quarterly. Non-risk graded loans are generally placed on nonaccruing status when more than 90 days past due or within 60 days of being notified of the borrower's bankruptcy filing. Interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against interest income when the loan is placed on nonaccruing status. Payments on nonaccruing loans are applied to principal or recognized as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Loans may be returned to accruing status when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal and interest, including principal previously charged off, is probable based on improvements in the borrower’s financial condition or a sustained period of performance.

Loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties may be modified in troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"). All TDRs are classified as nonaccruing. Modifications generally consist of extension of payment terms or interest rate concessions and may result either voluntarily through negotiations with the borrower or involuntarily through court order. Generally, principal and accrued but unpaid interest is not voluntarily forgiven.

Performing loans may be renewed under the current collateral value, debt service ratio and other underwriting standards. Nonaccruing loans may be renewed and will remain classified as nonaccruing.

All loans are charged off when the loan balance or a portion of the loan balance is no longer supported by the paying capacity of the borrower or when the required cash flow is reduced in a TDR. The charge-off amount is determined through a quarterly evaluation of available cash resources and collateral value and charge-offs are taken in the quarter in which the loss is identified. Non-risk graded loans that are past due between 60 and 180 days , based on the loan product type, are charged off. Loans to borrowers whose personal obligation has been discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings are charged off within 60 days of notice of the bankruptcy filing, regardless of payment status.

Loan origination and commitment fees and direct loan acquisition and origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loan or over the commitment period, as applicable.

Qualifying residential mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies have been sold into GNMA pools. Under certain performance conditions specified in government programs, the Company may have the right, but not the obligation to repurchase loans from GNMA pools. These loans no longer qualify for sale accounting and are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Guaranteed loans are considered impaired because we do not expect to receive all principal and interest based on the loan's contractual terms. The principal balance continues to be guaranteed; however, interest accrues at a curtailed rate as specified in the programs. The carrying value of these loans is reduced based on an estimate of the expected cash flows discounted at the original note rate plus a liquidity spread. Guaranteed loans may be modified in TDRs in accordance with U.S. government agency guidelines. Interest continues to accrue based on the modified rate. Guaranteed loans may either be resold into GNMA pools after a performance period specified by the programs or foreclosed and conveyed to the guarantors.

Loans are disaggregated into portfolio segments and further disaggregated into classes. The portfolio segment is the level at which the Company develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses. Classes are a further disaggregation of portfolio segments based on the risk characteristics of the loans and the Company’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk.

Excludes residential mortgage loans guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. government

At September 30, 2015 , $5.2 billion or 34% of our total loan portfolio is to businesses and individuals attributed to the Texas market and $3.4 billion or 22% of the total loan portfolio is to businesses and individuals attributed to the Oklahoma market. These geographic concentrations subject the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within these areas.

Commercial

Commercial loans represent loans for working capital, facilities acquisition or expansion, purchases of equipment and other needs of commercial customers primarily located within our geographical footprint. Commercial loans are underwritten individually and represent on-going relationships based on a thorough knowledge of the customer, the customer’s industry and market. While commercial loans are generally secured by the customer’s assets including real property, inventory, accounts receivable, operating equipment, interest in mineral rights and other property and may also include personal guarantees of the owners and related parties, the primary source of repayment of the loans is the on-going cash flow from operations of the customer’s business. Inherent lending risk is centrally monitored on a continuous basis from underwriting throughout the life of the loan for compliance with commercial lending policies.

At September 30, 2015 , commercial loans attributed to the Texas market totaled $3.4 billion or 35% of the commercial loan portfolio segment and commercial loans attributed to the Oklahoma market totaled $2.1 billion or 21% of the commercial loan portfolio segment.

The commercial loan portfolio segment is further divided into loan classes. The energy loan class totaled $2.8 billion or 18% of total loans at September 30, 2015 , including $2.3 billion of outstanding loans to energy producers. Approximately 61% of committed production loans are secured by properties primarily producing oil and 39% are secured by properties producing natural gas. The services loan class totaled $2.7 billion at September 30, 2015 . Approximately $1.2 billion of loans in the services category consist of loans with individual balances of less than $10 million .  Businesses included in the services class include governmental, finance and insurance, not-for-profit, educational services and loans to entities providing services for real estate and construction.


- 74 -



Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate loans are for the construction of buildings or other improvements to real estate and property held by borrowers for investment purposes primarily within our geographical footprint. We require collateral values in excess of the loan amounts, demonstrated cash flows in excess of expected debt service requirements, equity investment in the project and a portion of the project already sold, leased or permanent financing already secured. The expected cash flows from all significant new or renewed income producing property commitments are stress tested to reflect the risks in varying interest rates, vacancy rates and rental rates. As with commercial loans, inherent lending risks are centrally monitored on a continuous basis from underwriting throughout the life of the loan for compliance with applicable lending policies.

At September 30, 2015 , 31% of commercial real estate loans are secured by properties primarily located in the Dallas and Houston areas of Texas. An additional 13% of commercial real estate loans are secured by properties located primarily in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City metropolitan areas of Oklahoma.

Residential Mortgage and Personal

Residential mortgage loans provide funds for our customers to purchase or refinance their primary residence or to borrow against the equity in their home. Residential mortgage loans are secured by a first or second mortgage on the customer’s primary residence. Personal loans consist primarily of loans secured by the cash surrender value of insurance policies and marketable securities. It also includes direct loans secured by and for the purchase of automobiles, recreational and marine equipment as well as unsecured loans. Residential mortgage and personal loans are made in accordance with underwriting policies we believe to be conservative and are fully documented. Loans may be individually underwritten or credit scored based on size and other criteria. Credit scoring is assessed based on significant credit characteristics including credit history, residential and employment stability. Residential mortgage loans retained in the Company’s portfolio are primarily composed of various mortgage programs to support customer relationships including jumbo mortgage loans, non-builder construction loans and special loan programs for high net worth individuals and certain professionals. Jumbo loans may be fixed or variable rate and are fully amortizing. Jumbo loans generally conform to government sponsored entity standards, except that the loan size exceeds maximums required under these standards. These loans generally require a minimum FICO score of 720 and a maximum debt-to-income ratio (“DTI”) of 38% .  Loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios are tiered from 60% to 100% , depending on the market. Special mortgage programs include fixed and variable fully amortizing loans tailored to the needs of certain healthcare professionals. Variable rate loans are fully indexed at origination and may have fixed rates for three to ten years , then adjust annually thereafter.

At September 30, 2015 , residential mortgage loans included $193 million of loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies previously sold into GNMA mortgage pools. These loans either have been repurchased or are eligible to be repurchased by the Company when certain defined delinquency criteria are met. Although payments on these loans generally are past due more than 90 days, interest continues to accrue based on the government guarantee.

Home equity loans totaled $739 million at September 30, 2015 . Approximately, 69% of the home equity loan portfolio is comprised of first lien loans and 31% of the home equity portfolio is comprised of junior lien loans. Junior lien loans are distributed 67% to amortizing term loans and 33% to revolving lines of credit. Home equity loans generally require a minimum FICO score of 700 and a maximum DTI of 40%. The maximum loan amount available for our home equity loan products is generally $400 thousand . Revolving loans have a 5 year revolving period followed by a 15 year term of amortizing repayments. Interest-only home equity loans may not be extended for any additional revolving time. All other home equity loans may be extended at management's discretion for an additional 5 year revolving term, subject to an update of certain credit information.

Credit Commitments
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. At September 30, 2015 , outstanding commitments totaled $8.3 billion . Because some commitments are expected to expire before being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. BOK Financial uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does loans.

The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based upon management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.


- 75 -



Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Because the credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments, BOK Financial uses the same credit policies in evaluating the creditworthiness of the customer. Additionally, BOK Financial uses the same evaluation process in obtaining collateral on standby letters of credit as it does for loan commitments. The term of these standby letters of credit is defined in each commitment and typically corresponds with the underlying loan commitment. At September 30, 2015 , outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $480 million . Commercial letters of credit are used to facilitate customer trade transactions with the drafts being drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated. At September 30, 2015 , outstanding commercial letters of credit totaled $7.4 million .

Allowances for Credit Losses

BOK Financial maintains an allowance for loan losses and an accrual for off-balance sheet credit risk. The accrual for off-balance sheet credit risk is maintained at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated losses associated with credit instruments that are not currently recognized as assets such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit or guarantees. As discussed in greater detail in Note 6 , the Company also has separate accruals for off-balance sheet credit risk related to residential mortgage loans previously sold with full or partial recourse and for residential mortgage loans sold to government sponsored agencies under standard representations and warranties.

The appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses and accrual for off-balance sheet credit losses (collectively "allowance for credit losses") is assessed by management based on an on-going quarterly evaluation of the probable estimated losses inherent in the portfolio, including probable losses on both outstanding loans and unused commitments.

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific allowances attributed to impaired loans that have not yet been charged down to amounts we expect to recover, general allowances for unimpaired loans based on estimated loss rates by loan class and nonspecific allowances based on general economic conditions, risk concentration and related factors. There have been no material changes in the approach or techniques utilized in developing the allowance for loan losses and the accrual for off-balance sheet credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 .

Loans are considered to be impaired when it becomes probable that BOK Financial will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. Internally risk graded loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Substantially all commercial and commercial real estate loans and certain residential mortgage and consumer loans are risk graded based on evaluation of the borrowers' ability to repay. Certain commercial loans and most residential mortgage and consumer loans are small balance, homogeneous pools of loans that are not risk graded. Non-risk graded loans are identified as impaired based on performance status. Generally, non-risk graded loans 90 days or more past due or modified in a TDR or in bankruptcy are considered to be impaired.

Specific allowances for impaired loans are measured by an evaluation of estimated future cash flows discounted at the loans’ initial effective interest rate or the fair value of collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Collateral value of real property is generally based on third party appraisals that conform to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, less estimated selling costs. Appraised values are on an "as-is" basis and are generally not adjusted by the Company. Updated appraisals are obtained at least annually or more frequently if market conditions indicate collateral values have declined. Collateral value of mineral rights is generally determined by our internal staff of engineers based on projected cash flows under current market conditions. Collateral values and available cash resources that support impaired loans are evaluated quarterly. Historical statistics may be used as a practical way to estimate impairment in limited situations, such as when a collateral dependent loan is identified as impaired at the end of a reporting period, until an updated appraisal of collateral value is received or a full assessment of future cash flows is completed. Estimates of future cash flows and collateral values require significant judgments and may be volatile.

General allowances for unimpaired loans are based on estimated loss rates by loan class. The gross loss rate for each loan class is determined by the greater of the current gross loss rate based on the most recent twelve months or a ten-year gross loss rate. Recoveries are not directly considered in the estimation of loss rates. Recoveries generally do not follow predictable patterns and are not received until well after the charge-off date as a result of protracted legal actions. For risk graded loans, gross loss rates are adjusted for changes in risk grading. For each loan class, the current weighted average risk grade is compared to the long-term average risk grade. This comparison determines whether credit risk in each loan class is increasing or decreasing. Loss rates are adjusted upward or downward in proportion to changes in average risk grading. General allowances for unimpaired loans also consider inherent risks identified for each loan class. Inherent risks consider loss rates that most appropriately represent the current credit cycle and other factors attributable to specific loan classes which have not yet been represented in the gross loss rates or risk grading. These factors include changes in commodity prices or engineering imprecision, which may affect the value of reserves that secure our energy loan portfolio, construction risk that may affect commercial real estate loans, changes in regulations and public policy that may disproportionately impact health care loans and changes in loan products.

Nonspecific allowances are maintained for risks beyond factors specific to a particular loan or loan class. These factors include trends in the economy of our primary lending areas, concentrations in large balance loans and other relevant factors.

An accrual for off-balance sheet credit losses is included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The appropriateness of this accrual is determined in the same manner as the allowance for loan losses.

A provision for credit losses is charged against or credited to earnings in amounts necessary to maintain an appropriate allowance for credit losses. Recoveries of loans previously charged off are added to the allowance when received.

Loans are considered to be performing if they are in compliance with the original terms of the agreement, which is consistent with the regulatory guideline of “pass.” Performing also includes loans considered to be “other loans especially mentioned” by regulatory guidelines. Other loans especially mentioned are in compliance with the original terms of the agreement but may have a weakness that deserves management’s close attention. Performing loans also include past due residential mortgages that are guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. government.

The risk grading process identified certain criticized loans as potential problem loans. These loans have a well-defined weakness (e.g. inadequate debt service coverage or liquidity or marginal capitalization; repayment may depend on collateral or other risk mitigation) that may jeopardize liquidation of the debt and represent a greater risk due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. This is consistent with the regulatory guideline for “substandard.” Because the borrowers are still performing in accordance with the original terms of the loan agreements, these loans were not placed in nonaccruing status. Known information does, however, cause concern as to the borrowers’ continued compliance with current repayment terms. Nonaccruing loans represent loans for which full collection of principal and interest is uncertain. This is substantially the same criteria used to determine whether a loan is impaired and includes certain loans considered “substandard” and all loans considered “doubtful” by regulatory guidelines.

All permanent mortgage loans guaranteed by U.S. government agencies are considered impaired as we do not expect full collection of contractual principal and interest. At September 30, 2015 , $3.9 million of these loans were nonaccruing and $189 million were accruing based on the guarantee by U.S. government agencies.

Generally, no interest income is recognized on impaired loans until all principal balances, including amounts charged-off, are recovered.

( 5 ) Acquisitions

On May 4, 2015, the Company acquired a majority voting interest in Heartland Food Products, LLC, a Kansas-based food product and restaurant equipment company.

The purchase price for this acquisition was $18 million . The preliminary purchase price allocation included $14 million of identifiable intangible assets and $7.7 million of goodwill. The pro-forma impact of these transactions was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
( 6 ) Mortgage Banking Activities

Residential Mortgage Loan Production

The Company originates, markets and services conventional and government-sponsored residential mortgage loans. Generally, conforming fixed rate residential mortgage loans are held for sale in the secondary market and non-conforming and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans are held for investment. All residential mortgage loans originated for sale by the Company are carried at fair value based on sales commitments and market quotes. Changes in the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale are included in Other operating revenue – Mortgage banking revenue. Residential mortgage loans held for sale also includes the fair value of residential mortgage loan commitments and forward sale commitments which are considered derivative contracts that have not been designated as hedging instruments. The volume of mortgage loans originated for sale and secondary market prices are the primary drivers of originating and marketing revenue.

Residential mortgage loan commitments are generally outstanding for 60 to 90 days, which represents the typical period from commitment to originate a residential mortgage loan to when the closed loan is sold to an investor. Residential mortgage loan commitments are subject to both credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures, including collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary loan markets. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations is partially managed through forward sales of residential mortgage-backed securities and forward sales contracts. These latter contracts set the price for loans that will be delivered in the next 60 to 90 days.

The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale, notional amounts of derivative contracts related to residential mortgage loan commitments and forward contract sales and their related fair values included in Mortgage loans held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were (in thousands):

Changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights are included in Other operating revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Changes in fair value due to loan runoff are included in Mortgage banking costs. Changes in fair value due to market changes are reported separately. Changes in fair value due to market changes during the period relate to assets held at the reporting date.

There is no active market for trading in mortgage servicing rights after origination. Fair value is determined by discounting the projected net cash flows. Significant assumptions used to determine fair value based on significant unobservable inputs were as follows:

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as benchmark residential mortgage interest rates directly affect the prepayment speeds used in valuing our mortgage servicing rights, which is partially managed through forward sales of residential mortgage-backed securities and forward sales contracts. A separate third party model is used to estimate prepayment speeds based on interest rates, housing turnover rates, estimated loan curtailment, anticipated defaults and other relevant factors. The prepayment model is updated daily for changes in market conditions and adjusted to better correlate with actual performance of BOK Financial’s servicing portfolio.

Annual prepayment estimates based upon loan interest rate, original term and loan type. Weighted average prepayment rate is determined by weighting the prepayment speed for each loan by its unpaid principal balance.

The interest rate sensitivity of our mortgage servicing rights and securities and derivative contracts held as an economic hedge is modeled over a range of +/- 50 basis points. At September 30, 2015 , a 50 basis point increase in mortgage interest rates is expected to increase the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights, net of economic hedge by $488 thousand . A 50 basis point decrease in mortgage interest rates is expected to increase the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights, net of economic hedge by $716 thousand . In the model, changes in the value of servicing rights due to changes in interest rates assume stable relationships between residential mortgage rates and prepayment speeds. Changes in market conditions can cause variations from these assumptions. These factors and others may cause changes in the value of our mortgage servicing rights to differ from our expectations.

The Company has off-balance sheet credit risk related to residential mortgage loans sold to U.S. government agencies with recourse prior to 2008 under various community development programs. These loans consist of first lien, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans underwritten to standards approved by the agencies including full documentation and originated under programs available only for owner-occupied properties. However, these loans have a higher risk of delinquency and loss given default than traditional residential mortgage loans. The Company no longer sells residential mortgage loans with recourse other than obligations under standard representations and warranties. The recourse obligation relates to loan performance for the life of the loan and the Company is obligated to repurchase the loan at the time of foreclosure for the unpaid principal balance plus unpaid interest. The principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold subject to recourse obligations totaled $162 million at September 30, 2015 , $180 million at December 31, 2014 and $175 million at September 30, 2014 . A separate accrual for these off-balance sheet commitments is included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2015 , approximately 3% of the loans sold with recourse with an outstanding principal balance of $5.5 million were either delinquent more than 90 days, in bankruptcy or in foreclosure and 4% with an outstanding balance of $7.0 million were past due 30 to 89 days. The provision for credit losses on loans sold with recourse is included in Mortgage banking costs in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

( 7 ) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Litigation Contingencies

As a member of Visa, BOK Financial is obligated for a proportionate share of certain covered litigation losses incurred by Visa under a retrospective responsibility plan. A contingent liability was recognized for the Company’s share of Visa’s covered litigation liabilities. Visa funded an escrow account to cover litigation claims, including covered litigation losses under the retrospective responsibility plan, with proceeds from its initial public offering in 2008 and from available cash.

BOK Financial currently owns 251,837 Visa Class B shares which are convertible into 415,103 shares of Visa Class A shares after the final settlement of all covered litigation. Class B shares may be diluted in the future if the escrow fund is not adequate to cover future covered litigation costs. Therefore, no value has been currently assigned to the Class B shares and no value may be assigned until the Class B shares are converted into a known number of Class A shares.

On March 3, 2015, the Bank and the Company were named as defendants in a putative class action alleging that the manner in which the Bank posted charges to its consumer deposit accounts was improper from September 1, 2011 through July 8, 2014, the period after which the Bank and BOK Financial settled a class action respecting a similar claim. Management has been advised by counsel that the Bank and the Company have meritorious defenses to the action. A reasonable estimate of losses, if any, cannot be made at this time. On April 8, 2015, the Bank was named as a defendant in a putative class action alleging that the Extended Overdraft Fee charged customers who failed to pay overdrafts after five days constituted interest and exceeded permissible interest rates set by state and federal law. This action was dismissed on the merits by the Court.

On June 24, 2015, the Company received a complaint alleging that an employee had colluded with a borrower and an individual in misusing revenues pledged to the municipal bonds for which the Company served as trustee under the bond indenture. The Company conducted an investigation and has concluded that the employee had, with respect to a single group of affiliated bond issuances, violated Company policies and procedures by waiving financial covenants, granting forbearances and accepting without disclosure to the bondholders, debt service payments from sources other than pledged revenues. The employee was terminated. At this time, management and counsel have not determined whether the Company has any liability to the bondholders and, if so, the amount of any loss that might reasonably be estimated from such liability.


- 105 -



In the ordinary course of business, BOK Financial and its subsidiaries are subject to legal actions and complaints. Management believes, based upon the opinion of counsel, that the actions and liability or loss, if any, resulting from the final outcomes of the proceedings, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Alternative Investment Commitments

The Company sponsors two private equity funds and invests in several tax credit entities and other funds as permitted by banking regulations. Consolidation of these investments is based on the variable interest model determined by the nature of the entity. Variable interest entities are generally defined as entities that either do not have sufficient equity to finance their activities without support from other parties or whose equity investors lack a controlling financial interest. Variable interest entities are consolidated based on the determination that the Company is the primary beneficiary including the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the variable interest or the right to receive benefits of the variable interest that could be significant to the variable interest.

BOKF Equity, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, is the general partner of two consolidated private equity funds (“the Funds”). The Funds provide alternative investment opportunities to certain customers, some of which are related parties, through unaffiliated limited partnerships. These unaffiliated limited partnerships generally invest in distressed assets, asset buy-outs or venture capital companies. As general partner, BOKF Equity, LLC has the power to direct activities that most significantly affect the Funds' performance and contingent obligations to make additional investments totaling $5.1 million at September 30, 2015 . Substantially all of the obligations are offset by limited partner commitments. The Company does not accrue its contingent liability to fund investments. The Volcker Rule in Title VI of the Dodd-Frank Act will limit both the amount and structure of these types of investments.

Consolidated tax credit investment entities represent the Company's interest in entities earning federal new market tax credits related to qualifying loans. The Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest's economic performance of the entity including being the primary beneficiary of or the obligation to absorb losses of the variable interest that could be significant to the variable interest.

Other consolidated alternative investments include entities held under merchant banking authority. While the Company owns a majority of the voting interest in these entities, its ability to manage daily operations is limited by applicable banking regulations. Consolidated other assets includes total tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill held by these entities.

The Company also has interests in various unrelated alternative investments generally consisting of unconsolidated limited partnership interests in or loans to entities for which investment return is primarily in the form of tax credits or that invest in distressed real estate loans and properties, energy development, venture capital and other activities. The Company is prohibited by banking regulations from controlling or actively managing the activities of these investments and the Company's maximum exposure to loss is restricted to its investment balance. The Company's obligation to fund alternative investments is included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

At September 30, 2015 , Cavanal Hill Funds’ assets included $1.5 billion of U.S. Treasury, $1.6 billion of cash management and $267 million of tax-free money market funds. Assets of these funds consist of highly-rated, short-term obligations of the U.S. Treasury, corporate issuers and U.S. states and municipalities. The net asset value of units in these funds was $1.00 at September 30, 2015 . An investment in these funds is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or guaranteed by BOK Financial or any of its subsidiaries. BOK Financial may, but is not obligated to purchase assets from these funds to maintain the net asset value at $1.00 . No assets were purchased from the funds in 2015 or 2014 .

Cottonwood Valley Ventures, Inc. (“CVV, Inc.”), an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of BOK Financial, favorable resolved its audit by the Oklahoma Tax Commission (“OTC”) for tax years 2007 through 2009. CVV, Inc. is a qualified venture capital company under the applicable Oklahoma statute. As authorized by the statute, CVV, Inc. guarantees transferable Oklahoma state income tax credits by providing direct debt financing to private companies which qualify as statutory business ventures. Due to certain statutory limitations on utilization of such credits, CVV, Inc. must sell the majority of the credits to provide the economic incentives provided for by the statute. CVV will now be allowed to resume selling qualified credits.

The Company agreed to guarantee rents totaling $29 million through September of 2017 to the City of Tulsa as owner of a building immediately adjacent to the Bank’s main office for space currently rented by third-party tenants in the building. All rent payments are current. Remaining guaranteed rents totaled $6.3 million at September 30, 2015 . In return for this guarantee, the Company will receive 80% of net cash flow as defined in an agreement with the City of Tulsa through September 2017 from rental of space that was vacant at the inception of the agreement. The maximum amount that the Company may receive under this agreement is $4.5 million .
( 8 ) Shareholders' Equity

On October 27, 2015 , the Company declared a a quarterly cash dividend of $0.43 per common share on or about November 27, 2015 to shareholders of record as of November 13, 2015 .

Dividends declared were $0.42 and $1.26 per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and $0.40 and $1.20 per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 .

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

AOCI includes unrealized gains and losses on available for sale ("AFS") securities and non-credit related unrealized losses on AFS securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment has been recorded in earnings. AOCI also includes unrealized gains on AFS securities that were transferred from AFS to investment securities in the third quarter of 2011. Such amounts are being amortized over the estimated remaining life of the security as an adjustment to yield, offsetting the related amortization of premium on the transferred securities. Unrealized losses on employee benefit plans will be reclassified into income as pension plan costs are recognized over the remaining service period of plan participants. Accumulated losses on the interest rate lock hedge of the 2005 subordinated debt issuance were reclassified into income over the ten-year life of the debt. Gains and losses in AOCI are net of deferred income taxes.

( 11 ) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined by applicable accounting guidance as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the given asset or liability at the measurement date based on market conditions at that date. Certain assets and liabilities are recorded in the Company’s financial statements at fair value. Some are recorded on a recurring basis and some on a non-recurring basis.

For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. A hierarchy for fair value has been established which categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels are as follows:

Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities (Level 1) - Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) - Fair value is based on significant other observable inputs which are generally determined based on a single price for each financial instrument provided to us by an applicable third-party pricing service and is based on one or more of the following:

Quoted prices for similar, but not identical, assets or liabilities in active markets;
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates;
Other inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market inputs.

Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) - Fair value is based upon model-based valuation techniques for which at least one significant assumption is not observable in the market.

Transfers between levels are recognized as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers in or out of quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to significant other observable inputs or significant unobservable inputs during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Transfers between significant other observable inputs and significant unobservable inputs during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are included in the summary of changes in recurring fair values measured using unobservable inputs.

The underlying methods used by the third-party pricing services are considered in determining the primary inputs used to determine fair values. Management has evaluated the methodologies employed by the third-party pricing services by comparing the price provided by the pricing service with other sources, including brokers' quotes, sales or purchases of similar instruments and discounted cash flows to establish a basis for reliance on the pricing service values. Significant differences between the pricing service provided value and other sources are discussed with the pricing service to understand the basis for their values. Based on all observable inputs, management may adjust prices obtained from third-party pricing services to more appropriately reflect the prices that would be received to sell assets or paid to transfer liabilities in orderly transactions in the current market. No significant adjustments were made to prices provided by third-party pricing services at September 30, 2015 , December 31, 2014 or September 30, 2014 .

Following is a description of the Company's valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:
Securities
The fair values of trading, available for sale and fair value option securities are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, when available. If quoted prices for identical instruments are not available, fair values are based on significant other observable inputs such as quoted prices of comparable instruments or interest rates and credit spreads, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds and loss severities.

The fair value of certain available for sale municipal and other debt securities may be based on significant unobservable inputs. These significant unobservable inputs include limited observed trades, projected cash flows, current credit rating of the issuers and, when applicable, the insurers of the debt and observed trades of similar debt. Discount rates are primarily based on references to interest rate spreads on comparable securities of similar duration and credit rating as determined by the nationally-recognized rating agencies adjusted for a lack of trading volume. Significant unobservable inputs are developed by investment securities professionals involved in the active trading of similar securities. A summary of significant inputs used to value these securities follows. A management committee composed of senior members from the Company's Capital Markets, Risk Management and Finance departments assesses the appropriateness of these inputs monthly.

Derivatives

All derivative instruments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Fair values for exchange-traded contracts are based on quoted prices. Fair values for over-the-counter interest rate, commodity and foreign exchange contracts are based on valuations provided either by third-party dealers in the contracts, quotes provided by independent pricing services, or a third-party provided pricing model that uses significant other observable market inputs.

Credit risk is considered in determining the fair value of derivative instruments. Management determines fair value adjustments based on various risk factors including but not limited to counterparty credit rating or equivalent loan grading, derivative contract notional size, price volatility of the underlying commodity, duration of the derivative contracts and expected loss severity. Expected loss severity is based on historical losses for similarly risk graded commercial loan customers. Decreases in counterparty credit rating or grading and increases in price volatility and expected loss severity all tend to increase the credit quality adjustment which reduces the fair value of asset contracts. The reduction in fair value is recognized in earnings during the current period.

We also consider our own credit risk in determining the fair value of derivative contracts. Changes in our credit rating would affect the fair value of our derivative liabilities. In the event of a credit downgrade, the fair value of our derivative liabilities would increase. The change in the fair value would be recognized in earnings in the current period.
Residential Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Residential mortgage loans held for sale are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair values of residential mortgage loans held for sale are based upon quoted market prices of such loans sold in securitization transactions, including related unfunded loan commitments and forward sales contracts. The fair value of mortgage loans that were unable to be sold to U.S. government agencies were determined using quoted prices of loans that are sold in securitization transactions with a liquidity discount applied.

Other Assets - Private Equity Funds
The fair value of the portfolio investments of the Company's two private equity funds are based upon net asset value reported by the underlying funds, as adjusted by the general partner when necessary to represent the price that would be received to sell the assets. The Company's private equity funds provide customers alternative investment opportunities as limited partners of the funds. As fund of funds, the private equity funds invest in other limited partnerships or limited liability companies that invest substantially all of their assets in U.S. companies pursuing diversified investment strategies including early-stage venture capital, distressed securities and corporate or asset buy-outs. Private equity fund assets are long-term, illiquid investments. No secondary market exists for these assets. The private equity funds typically invest in funds that provide no redemption rights to investors. The fair value of the private equity investments may only be realized through cash distributions from the underlying funds.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include collateral for certain impaired loans and real property and other assets acquired to satisfy loans, which are based primarily on comparisons to completed sales of similar assets.

The following represents the carrying value of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (and related losses) during the period. The carrying value represents only those assets with a balance at September 30, 2015 for which the fair value was adjusted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 :

The fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate and other repossessed assets and the related fair value adjustments are generally based on unadjusted third-party appraisals. Our appraisal review policies require appraised values to be supported by observed inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Appraisals that are not based on observable inputs or that require significant adjustments or fair value measurements that are not based on third-party appraisals are considered to be based on significant unobservable inputs. Non-recurring fair value measurements of collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate and other repossessed assets based on significant unobservable inputs are generally due to estimates of current fair values between appraisal dates. Significant unobservable inputs include listing prices for the same or comparable assets, uncorroborated expert opinions or management's knowledge of the collateral or industry. These inputs are developed by asset management and workout professionals and approved by senior Credit Administration executives.

Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the fair values shown in the tables above may not represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate at the given reporting date.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The book value reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and short-term instruments approximates those assets’ fair values.
Securities
The fair values of securities are generally based on Significant Other Observable Inputs such as quoted prices for comparable instruments or interest rates and credit spreads, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds and loss severities.

Loans
The fair value of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are based on discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates and credit and liquidity spreads currently being offered for loans with similar remaining terms to maturity and risk, adjusted for the impact of interest rate floors and ceilings which are classified as Significant Unobservable Inputs. The fair values of loans were estimated to approximate their discounted cash flows less loan loss allowances allocated to these loans of $176 million at September 30, 2015 , $161 million at December 31, 2014 and $163 million at September 30, 2014 .
Deposits
The fair values of time deposits are based on discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered on similar transactions which are considered Significant Unobservable Inputs. Estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which includes demand deposits, transaction deposits, money market deposits and savings accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. Although market premiums paid reflect an additional value for these low cost deposits, adjusting fair value for the expected benefit of these deposits is prohibited. Accordingly, the positive effect of such deposits is not included in the tables above.
Other Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures
The fair values of these instruments are based upon discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered on similar instruments which are considered Significant Unobservable Inputs.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
The fair values of commercial loan commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements. The fair values of these off-balance sheet instruments were not significant at September 30, 2015 , December 31, 2014 or September 30, 2014 .
Fair Value Election

As more fully disclosed in Note 2 and Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has elected to carry all residential mortgage-backed securities which have been designated as economic hedges against changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights and all residential mortgage loans originated for sale at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these financial instruments are recognized in earnings.

Yield calculations are shown on a tax equivalent at the statutory federal and state rates for the periods presented. The yield calculations exclude security trades that have been recorded on trade date with no corresponding interest income and the unrealized gains and losses. The yield calculation also includes average loan balances for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued and are net of unearned income. Yield / rate calculations are generally based on the conventions that determine how interest income and expense is accrued.
