| Our combined allowance level is above the median of our peers, and we expect to maintain a strong credit reserve |
| We do think that, that is good solid franchise growth that we've been able to generate |
| That's may be the most distinctive advantage we have as a financial institution, and we're going to take advantage of that |
| Liquidity and capital continue to be very strong on an absolute basis and versus peers |
| So we feel good about the fact that the various business lines have the ability to generate fees and commissions, just all types of fee revenues regardless of what cycle we're in |
| And if you look out over any 12-month or so period, we're able to grow that consistently at that mid-single digit level and we feel the same about that today than we did a quarter ago |
| We are confident both will drive long-term shareholder value |
| We are proud of our diversified mix of fee income, which we believe is a strategic differentiator for us when compared to our peers, especially during the times of economic uncertainty |
| It's been such a great story for BOK this year, growing fee income |
| And so I think that we're optimistic that we can maintain that |
| Each of the markets has really had a strong year in terms of growth in C&I, particularly and it's been a focus for us |
| Economic conditions in our geographic footprint remain favorable and continue to be supported by business and migration from other markets |
| Credit quality is still strong and we have a combined reserve of $325 million or 1.37% of outstanding loans at quarter end, which is notably above the median of our peer group |
| In aggregate, we expect total fees and commissions revenue to grow at a mid-single digit growth rate on a year-over-year basis and our strategic expansion initiatives to positively impact growth rates for 2024 |
| Our credit metrics are as good as they've ever been |
| Fundamentally, our balance sheet is well positioned to allow us to grow with the liquidity, the loan-to-deposit ratio of 70% |
| We have very strong capital ratios, and we've got the capacity we need to do that |
| Our team had another solid quarter of earnings, driven by our diverse business model, which prudently balances interest revenue with non-interest revenues and allows us to perform well in a variety of business climates |
| Finally, we repurchased 700,500 shares this quarter to reflect our long-term confidence in the company and attractive repurchase valuations |
| So we've been able to see a widening of spreads on new production and that the economics of that new production is strong |
| While margin pressure is a reality for us and our peers, our diverse fee-based businesses supply a strong core revenue base that sets us apart |
| This quarter highlights the benefits of our diverse revenue mix and our strong risk management culture as we and the industry experienced pressure on the margin from increased funding costs |
| With a ratio of capital allocated to commercial real estate that is substantially less than our peers and the history of outperformance during past credit cycle, we believe we are well positioned to an economic slowdown materialize in the quarters ahead |
| Our current pipeline is strong and we're confident we have momentum to drive additional growth in our loan portfolio well into next year |
| But that incremental loan growth does have incrementally positive and wider spreads |
| The provision for credit losses of $7 million in the third quarter reflects strong asset quality, continued loan growth and modest changes in our economic forecast |
| We remain in a solid credit position today |
| Excluding the volatile mortgage refinance fee during the second and third quarters of 2020, the last five consecutive quarters are the highest for fee income in the company's history |
| We continue to grow and invest in our fee businesses, as shown by our recent expansion into Memphis and our talented teams collaborate well to ensure we grow our company the right way, a way that is sustainable through all economic cycles |
| While the market continues to focus on capital, liquidity and credit, I see this as a unique opportunity to use our strength in these areas to grow organically and invest in new markets while other financial institutions may be more internally focused |

| The pressure on our net interest margin from increased funding costs resulted in a $21 million linked quarter decline in net interest revenue, resulting in an efficiency ratio above 60%, which is more typical for us given the mix of non-interest revenue |
| Demand is now less than 30% of the total base and is below pandemic levels |
| Total fees and commissions were $198 million for the third quarter, down slightly linked quarter |
| Third quarter net interest revenue was $301 million, a $21 million decrease linked quarter |
| The negatives were the DDA mix shift and the deposit beta piece |
| Net charge-offs were $6.5 million or 11 basis points annualized for the third quarter and have averaged 13 basis points over the last 12 months, far below our historic loss range of 30 basis points to 40 basis points |
| The $2.5 million linked quarter decline in trading fees was primarily related to fees from our municipal bond trading portfolio, down $3.5 million linked quarter, which was influenced by rising interest rate environment and evolving market expectations during the third quarter |
| So Q3 margin decline ex-trading was 23 basis points |
| Net interest margin was 2.69%, a 31 basis point decrease versus Q2 |
| Fiduciary and asset management fees were $52 million for the third quarter, a 1.4% linked quarter decrease due to the second quarter's annual tax service fees |
| We saw a nice slowdown in the pace of increase in September |
| When we saw some nice slowdown in September, and again we expect to see that slowdown continue |
| But our view is that you'll have more margin deterioration in the fourth quarter, less in the first quarter |
| So we expect to see a smaller decline than that 23 basis points in the core margin in Q3 to Q4, but still probably in the low double-digits to basis points |
| I will note that 8 basis points of the 31 basis point margin decline was due to growth in the trading securities |
| Looking forward, we expect net charge-offs to remain low |
| We believe the margin will migrate modestly lower over the next couple of quarters as interest-bearing deposit betas level out and demand deposit balance attrition runs its course |
| I know it's not huge exposure for you, but I do see it's down |
| Brady Gailey I was just wondering, your guidance for some continued net interest margin pressure, we saw a big move in the third quarter |
| And then we do expect that to slow quite a bit next year |
