Company Overview
Tracing its roots back to 1910 when Oklahoma was still a young state, BOK Financial (NASDAQ: BOKF) is a regional bank holding company that provides commercial banking, consumer banking, and wealth management services across eight states in the central and southwestern US.
Sales Growth
In general, banks make money from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest earned on loans, mortgages, and investments in securities minus interest paid out on deposits. The second source is non-interest income, which can come from bank account, credit card, wealth management, investment banking, and trading fees. Regrettably, BOK Financial’s revenue grew at a sluggish 3.4% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This fell short of our benchmark for the banking sector and is a tough starting point for our analysis.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. BOK Financial’s annualized revenue growth of 6.4% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, which is encouraging. 
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
This quarter, BOK Financial reported year-on-year revenue growth of 9.6%, and its $589.4 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 2.4%.
Net interest income made up 61.4% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning lending operations are BOK Financial’s largest source of revenue.
While banks generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net interest income as the cornerstone - its predictable, recurring characteristics stand in sharp contrast to the volatility of non-interest income.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)
Banks are balance sheet-driven businesses because they generate earnings primarily through borrowing and lending. They’re also valued based on their balance sheet strength and ability to compound book value (another name for shareholders’ equity) over time.
When analyzing banks, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) takes precedence over many other metrics. This measure isolates genuine per-share value by removing intangible assets of debatable liquidation worth. Traditional metrics like EPS are helpful but face distortion from M&A activity and loan loss accounting rules.
BOK Financial’s TBVPS grew at a solid 6.4% annual clip over the last five years. TBVPS growth has also accelerated recently, growing by 13.1% annually over the last two years from $64.41 to $82.42 per share.
Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for BOK Financial’s TBVPS to grow by 9.4% to $90.16, paltry growth rate.
Key Takeaways from BOK Financial’s Q2 Results
