-19 pandemic, may affect economies around the world. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and Israel-Hamas conflict resulted in volatile oil prices in 2023, which have stabilized somewhat in 2024, as well as affected other global economic factors. Continuation of these, and any other geopolitical conflicts that might arise, could negatively affect our financial results.

BOK Financial, its customers and counterparties may be negatively affected by the volatility and uncertainty related to inflation and the effects of inflation. Prolonged periods of inflation may impact our profitability by negatively affecting our fixed costs and expenses, including increasing funding costs and expenses related to talent acquisition and retention. Additionally, inflation may lead to a decrease in consumer purchasing power and negatively impact the need or demand for our products or services. If significant inflation continues, the creditworthiness of our borrowers and their ability to repay loans timely may be affected. 

The Company, its customers and counterparties may also be adversely affected by global events, such as natural disasters, and other external events beyond our control, including public health issues, terrorist attacks, and acts of war. These global events may significantly affect long-term and short-term interest rates, energy prices, the value of financial assets, and ultimately economic activity in our primary markets. The adverse effect of these events on the Company may include narrowing of the spread between interest income and interest expense, a reduction in fee income, an increase in credit losses, and a decrease in demand for loans and other products and services. 

Our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be adversely affected by a health pandemic or other health crisis. 

A pandemic or other health crisis could destabilize the financial markets and the general economy. Forced shutdowns or regulations limiting business could have an adverse effect on our customers, limiting their ability to satisfy obligations and limiting growth or demand for our loans and other services, which could affect our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
