BCSB Bancorp, Inc. Reports Results for the Year Ended September 30, 2011

BALTIMORE, Oct. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BCSB Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: BCSB), the holding company for Baltimore County Savings Bank, reported net income of $116,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011, as compared to net income of $1,207,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. For comparison purposes, when consideration is given to dividends and discount accretion on preferred shares issued under the U.S. Treasury's TARP Capital Purchase Program (which the Company redeemed in January 2011), the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $457,000 or ($0.15) per basic and diluted common share for the year ended September 30, 2011, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $582,000 or $0.20 per basic common share and $.19 per diluted common share for the year ended September 30, 2010. When the Company repaid TARP, it was required to accelerate accretion of the remaining discount on the preferred stock, thereby reducing net income available to common shareholders by approximately $310,000 during the year ended September 30, 2011.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $461,000, as compared to net income of $569,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. When consideration is given to dividends and discount accretion on preferred shares issued under the U.S. Treasury's TARP Capital Purchase Program, net loss available to common stockholders was $461,000 or ($0.15) per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $412,000 or $0.14 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Earnings during the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2011 declined in comparison to the same periods of the prior fiscal year primarily due to declines in net interest income of $85,000 and $683,000, increased provisions for loss on foreclosed real estate of $41,000 and $334,000 and higher "Other Than Temporarily Impaired" (OTTI) credit losses of $100,000 in both periods, respectively. Also contributing to the decline in earnings were increased costs associated with impaired loans and foreclosure activities. Provisions for losses on loans during the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $1,000,000 in comparison with the same period in 2010, but decreased by $1,000,000 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 as compared with the prior fiscal year.

Higher loan loss provisions were necessary during the three months ended September 30, 2011 to address increases in troubled assets, particularly in relation to two commercial loan relationships, one of which represented by $2.7 million in land development and the other represented by $1.5 million in residential rental properties. Nonperforming loans were $17.6 million at September 30, 2011 versus $11.6 million at June 30, 2011.  

President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph J. Bouffard commented "Although we were able to report a slight profit for fiscal year 2011, operating results for the most recent quarter ended September 30, 2011 were disappointing. Challenging economic conditions continue to persist, resulting in a difficult environment for some of our borrowers. We continue to aggressively pursue solutions to problem asset issues and will be proactive in establishing what are believed to be appropriate reserve levels."  

As noted above, OTTI charges have been recorded on certain of the Company's CMO securities. As of September 30, 2011, the market value of these CMO securities totaled $9.1 million, which reflects $2.9 million in gross unrealized losses.  If in the future it is determined that further declines in market values or credit losses with respect to these or any other securities are other than temporary, the Company would be required to recognize additional losses in its consolidated statements of operations.

This press release contains statements that are forward-looking, as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or the Securities and Exchange Commission in its rules, regulations and releases. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby.  All forward-looking statements are based on current expectations regarding important risk factors, including but not limited to real estate values, market conditions, the impact of interest rates on financing, local and national economic factors and the matters described in "Item 1A.
