BOK Financial Corp (BOKF) is a $53.8B total-asset regional bank holding company. Under a liquidation lens, the recovery posture is modestly positive relative to book equity but materially impaired relative to stated book value once intangible write-downs and haircuts on financial assets are applied. Stated book equity (BOKF shareholders only) is approximately $5.97B as of March 31, 2026. Goodwill of $1.04B and other intangibles of $32M are written to zero under the liquidation framework, eliminating roughly $1.08B of equity support. The remaining tangible asset base is dominated by financial instruments that receive favorable treatment under the lens: cash and cash equivalents of $1.41B recover at 100%; available-for-sale securities of $13.54B carry a net unrealized loss of $217M (amortized cost $13.76B versus fair value $13.54B) and are already marked to fair value on the balance sheet, so no additional haircut is required beyond that already embedded; held-to-maturity securities of $1.80B carry a $135M unrealized loss not reflected on the balance sheet, representing additional hidden impairment; and gross loans of $26.19B would face a 5-10% haircut in a stressed liquidation scenario, implying $1.3-2.6B of incremental write-down against the $278M allowance already carried. Trading securities of $5.65B are marked to fair value. Liability stack at face value totals $47.8B: deposits of $38.7B, other borrowings of $5.75B, subordinated debt of $397M, and repurchase agreements/funds purchased of $715M. The $134M unfunded affordable housing investment commitment is a contingent liability that survives wind-up. Letters of credit outstanding of $617M and unfunded loan commitments of $16.2B represent off-balance-sheet obligations that are not extinguished in liquidation and could generate funded draws. Net operating cash flow was negative $249M in Q1 2026 (versus the prior 10-K period of FY2025 positive $576M at the holdco), primarily reflecting working capital timing in trading assets and receivables rather than structural deterioration. The company repurchased zero shares under its public buyback program in Q1 2026 (71,423 shares were withheld for employee tax settlements only), with 2.02M shares remaining on the July 2025 board authorization. Compared to the December 31, 2025 10-K (prior filing), total assets increased $0.5B, gross loans grew $0.2B, the AFS unrealized loss position widened modestly, and the HTM unrecognized loss remained substantial at $135M. The AOCI balance is negative $225M, partially reflecting the AFS unrealized loss already in equity. Overall tangible recovery to equity under a liquidation scenario is materially below stated book value, primarily driven by intangible write-down ($1.08B), the HTM hidden loss ($135M not yet in equity), and potential loan portfolio haircuts, partially offset by a clean provision record (zero provision for four of the last five quarters) and an allowance coverage ratio of 1.06% of gross loans.
