REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 Willimantic, Connecticut--April 25, 2007. SI Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ Global Market: SIFI), the holding company of Savings Institute Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"), reported net income of $449,000, or $0.04 basic and diluted earnings per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 versus net income of $795,000, or $0.07 basic and diluted earnings per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Net interest and dividend income decreased 6.8% to $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Net interest and dividend income decreased for the quarter due to a higher cost of funds primarily related to interest rates paid on certificate of deposit accounts and the volume of interest-bearing liabilities, offset by an increase in the average balance of loans. The provision for loan losses decreased $120,000 to $165,000 for the first quarter of 2007. The first quarter of 2006 included an additional provision for loan losses of $150,000 related to the indirect automobile loan portfolio, which was purchased in February of 2006, due to the increased risk of loss associated with this type of consumer lending. At March 31, 2007, nonperforming loans totaled $4.5 million compared to $90,000 at March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to three commercial mortgage loans totaling $3.5 million. Net loan charge-offs were $62,000 and $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Consumer loans related to the indirect automobile portfolio represented all loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2007. Noninterest income was $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase in noninterest income principally resulted from a gain of $321,000 from the sale of marketable equity securities during the first quarter of 2007. Additionally, wealth management fees increased $88,000 primarily resulting from growth in the market value of assets under administration. The increase in noninterest income was offset by a decrease in other noninterest income of $43,000 and service fees of $18,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Noninterest expenses were $6.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared to $6.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase in noninterest expenses reflected an increase in operating costs associated with the opening of two branch offices in 2006. Occupancy and equipment, compensation costs, other noninterest expenses and outside professional services contributed the largest increases to noninterest expenses. New branch offices resulted in higher occupancy and equipment expense primarily due to additional operating lease payments, depreciation expense and other occupancy-related expenses. Compensation costs were higher in 2007 due to increased staffing levels associated with the new offices. Other noninterest expenses were lower in 2006 compared to 2007 as a result of a change in estimate for lower than anticipated losses on uncollectible items related to the implementation of the Bank's remote branch capture system at the end of 2005. Outside professional services expense was higher in 2007 due to the termination of the agreement to purchase a mortgage company, which was announced earlier this month, resulting in a charge to operations for purchase-related transaction costs associated with the termination, offset by a reduction in other legal and auditing expenditures. Total assets grew $2.9 million, or 0.4%, to $759.9 million at March 31, 2007 from $757.0 million at December 31, 2006. Contributing to the increase in assets were increases of $5.8 million in net loans receivable and $1.9 million in available for sale securities, offset by decreases of $4.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, $383,000 in accrued interest receivable and $212,000 in other assets. The increase in net loans receivable reflects increases in commercial and residential mortgage loans of $5.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, during the first quarter of 2007. Available for sale securities increased as a result of purchases of predominately mortgage-backed securities with longer-term maturities. Repayments of Federal Home Loan Bank advances reduced cash and cash equivalents during the first quarter of 2007. Accrued interest decreased as a result of commercial loan payments and the reversal of interest on nonperforming loans. Furthermore, the decrease in other assets primarily resulted from the write-off of purchase-related transaction costs associated with the termination of the mortgage company purchase and the settlement of other receivables. 2 Total liabilities were $676.7 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $674.7 million at December 31, 2006. Deposits increased $8.9 million, or 1.7%, which included an increase in predominately NOW and money market and certificate of deposit accounts of $5.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, during 2007 as a result of additional branch offices and attractive promotional rates. The Bank's new e.SI checking product contributed $6.6 million to the increase in deposits, which was partly offset by decreases in other deposit products. Borrowings decreased from $127.4 million at December 31, 2006 to $122.3 million at March 31, 2007, resulting from the repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Total stockholders' equity increased $822,000 from $82.4 million at December 31, 2006 to $83.2 million at March 31, 2007. The increase in equity related to earnings of $449,000, a decrease in net unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities aggregating $267,000 (net of taxes) and the amortization of equity awards of $192,000, offset by dividends declared of $189,000. "The mix of asset and liability growth during the first quarter of 2007 creates a positive trend for improved performance for the Bank," commented President and CEO, Rheo A. Brouillard. As previously announced, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per outstanding common share on March 21, 2007, which will be paid on April 27, 2007 to shareholders of record as of April 6, 2007. SI Bancorp, MHC, the Company's mutual holding company parent, waived receipt of its dividend. SI Financial Group, Inc. is the holding company for Savings Institute Bank and Trust Company.
