EX-99 2 ex-99.txt PRESS RELEASE News Release April 28, 2006 Contact: Dennis R. Stewart, EVP/CFO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (215) 579-4000 TF Financial Corporation Reports First Quarter 2006 Results and Quarterly Dividend Newtown, Pennsylvania: TF Financial Corporation (Nasdaq National Market - THRD) today reported net income of $1,255,000 ($0.46 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2006, compared with $1,476,000 ($0.52 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2005. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share, payable May 15, 2006 to shareholders of record on May 8, 2006. Highlights for the current quarter included: o Interest income increased by over 12% compared to the first quarter of 2005, and is up 2% compared with the fourth quarter of 2005, reflecting continued strong loan growth since the year-ago and year-end periods. o The deposit environment was extremely competitive. Total deposits decreased from $470.5 million at December 31, 2005 to $464.3 million at March 31, 2006. In addition, the Company increased the interest rates paid on its deposits and offered attractively priced new deposit products as part of its efforts to stem deposit attrition and attract new deposit relationships. o The interest rate environment continued to be challenging. The Company's net interest margin, while still very respectable, was 3.60% during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared with 3.68% during the fourth quarter of 2005, and 3.85% during the first quarter of 2005. As a result, net interest income was down $139,000 and $123,000 during the first quarter of 2006 compared with the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2005, respectively. o Operating results for the first quarter of 2006 contained $200,000 of stock compensation expense, reflecting both a stock and stock option grant during the fourth quarter of 2005 and the adoption during the first quarter of 2006 of a new accounting principle requiring the expensing of the value of stock options. o Operating results during the first quarter of 2006 contained approximately $84,000 of direct expense related to a new branch office opened during the third quarter of 2005. o Dividends paid in the quarter were $0.19 per share, up 5.6% from the $0.18 per share paid during the first quarter of 2005. Commenting on the performance of the Company, President Kent C. Lufkin noted that "in the face of a sustained flat yield curve and the fever-pitch competition for new deposits, I believe that the Company has performed well by carefully managing the pricing of both its loan and deposit products, controlling expenses, developing creative new products and continuing to effectively market our "green" theme. We will continue to carefully manage all areas of our operations throughout this challenging period."
