TF Financial Corporation Reports First Quarter 2007 Results and Quarterly Dividend

NEWTOWN, Pa., April 26, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TF Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:THRD) today reported net income of $1,398,000 ($0.51 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2007, compared with $1,255,000 ($0.46 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2006. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share, payable May 15, 2007 to shareholders of record on May 8, 2007.

Highlights for the current quarter included:

   * Net income and diluted earnings per share increased by 11.4% and
     10.9%, respectively, over the first quarter of 2006. Return on
     average assets and return on average equity remained a healthy
     0.87% and 8.58%, respectively.

   * Earnings were positively impacted by a $777,000 settlement
     awarded to the Company, related to a lease fraud which occurred
     prior to 2003. Earnings were negatively impacted by a $270,000
     expense related to the bankruptcy of one of the Company's loan
     servicing agents.

   * The Company's net interest margin was 3.37% during the quarter,
     a decrease of 20 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2006,
     and 22 basis points from the first quarter of 2006. The 20 basis
     point drop from the fourth quarter is mainly due to a 13 basis
     point decrease in loan yields, caused mainly by a sizeable number
     of high rate loans which paid off during the fourth quarter. By
     the end of the current quarter the Company had replaced this
     run-off with new production, resulting in an annualized 10.4%
     rate of growth in loans outstanding.

   * Total deposits increased to $484.7 million from $478.1 million
     at December 31, 2006, an annualized growth rate of 5.6%. The
     average cost of deposits was 2.75%, up 11 basis points from the
     fourth quarter of 2006, and 77 basis points from the first
     quarter of 2006. Competition remained intense for deposits, and
     the yield curve remained flat-to-inverted during the quarter,
     adding to pricing pressures.

   * Dividends paid in the quarter were $0.20 per share, up 5.3% from
     the $0.19 per share paid during the first quarter of 2006.

Commenting on the performance of the Company, President Kent C. Lufkin noted that "it continues to be a challenging environment for community banking. In response, we are working extremely hard to generate new loan and deposit customers, keep expenses under control, and efficiently promote the Bank's image. We also have had the opportunity during these difficult times to increase capital, add skilled bankers to our staff and forge new partnerships with local businesses, effectively building for the future."
