Analysis · BCBP · Finance
BCB Bancorp finalized its follow-on offering at $7.75 per share, upsizing from the originally announced $75 million to $85.25 million — a 13.7% increase. The prospectus supplement reveals the full scope of the bank's distress: a projected Q3 net loss of $126.2 million to $136.1 million driven by a $112-120 million provision for credit losses and a $50 million deferred tax asset write-down. The bank is selling $210 million of problem loans at an expected $87 million pre-tax loss and transferring another $96 million to held for sale. Pro forma tangible book value per share collapses from $14.73 to $7.51. This is a survival capital raise — the offering price of $7.75 sits 9.7% below the September 11 last reported sale price of $8.58, and the projected losses dwarf the $85 million being raised.
