BALTIMORE, July 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BCSB Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: BCSB), the holding company for Baltimore County Savings Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income of $368,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which represents the third quarter of its 2012 fiscal year, as compared to net income of $344,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. 

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,404,000, as compared to net income of $577,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. 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, net income available to common stockholders was $1,404,000 or $0.45 per basic share and $0.44 per diluted share for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, compared to a net income available to common stockholders of $4,000 or $0.00 per basic and diluted common share for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The Company repaid TARP on January 26, 2011 and 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 three months ended March 31, 2011. No preferred stock dividends have been paid and no discount accretion has been recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The Company was able to repay TARP without raising additional capital, which would have been dilutive to shareholders.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, earnings were favorably impacted by gains on sale of repossessed assets, increased commissions from sales of investment products and reductions in non-interest expense as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. Net interest income also increased during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, earnings were negatively affected by increased provision for loan losses and higher "Other Than Temporary Impaired" (OTTI) credit losses as compared with 2011. OTTI charges, which are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as reductions to non-interest income, totaled $250,000 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 as compared with $100,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011.

President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph J. Bouffard commented, "Despite a slight increase in the provision for loan losses and a $250,000 OTTI charge during the June 2012 quarter, we were still able to generate increased profitability as compared with the same quarter in 2011. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2012, net income available to common shareholders increased by $1.4 million as compared with the same period in 2011. This improvement is primarily due to strategies successfully implemented to increase net interest income and reduce non-interest expenses. Although pleased with improved operating results, we remain very focused on monitoring asset quality."

(1)Tangible book value provides a measure of tangible equity on a per share basis. It is determined by methods other than in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and, as such, is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes the presentation of Tangible book value per common share is meaningful supplemental information for shareholders. We calculate Tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as of period end.
