Bel Fuse reports launch of offering of 1.3M Class B shares

Bel Fuse Inc. (NASDAQ: BELFA and BELFB) has announced the launch of an offering for 1.3 million Class B shares, as part of its ongoing capital management strategy. This move follows the company's recent financial performance and capital initiatives, including the declaration of a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per Class B share, payable on May 1, 2026 to shareholders of record on April 15, 2026.

The company reported preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023, highlighting a gross profit margin of 36.6% in Q4-23, up from 31.0% in Q4-22, and a full-year gross profit margin of 33.7%, compared to 28.0% in 2022. These improvements reflect operational efficiencies and restructuring efforts, including facility consolidations in China and Pennsylvania.

In January 2024, Bel also announced a $25 million share repurchase program, underscoring its commitment to optimizing capital structure and returning value to shareholders. The new offering of Class B shares is expected to provide additional flexibility in managing the company's capital base amid evolving market conditions.

The offering is part of Bel's broader strategy to strengthen its financial position and support long-term growth across its Power, Connectivity, and Magnetic Solutions segments. Investors are advised to monitor the company's upcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K for finalized financial details and further guidance on capital allocation.
