TF Financial Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2007 Results and Quarterly Dividend

NEWTOWN, Pa., July 26, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TF Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:THRD) today reported net income of $1,037,000 ($0.38 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2007, compared with $1,392,000 ($0.51 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2006. Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 was $2,435,000 ($0.89 per diluted share) compared with $2,647,000 ($0.98 per diluted share) for the first six months of 2006. The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share, payable August 15, 2007 to shareholders of record on August 8, 2007.

Highlights for the current quarter included:


  *  Interest income decreased by 2.2% compared to the second quarter
     of 2006, consistent with the 2.8% decrease in average loans.
     However at quarter's end, total loans had surpassed $500.0
     million, up 3.2% from year end 2006, and the Company continues to
     replace the loan payoffs that occurred after loans peaked at a
     record high of $517.9 million at June 30, 2006. In addition,
     interest income during the second quarter of 2007 was negatively
     impacted by a $111,000 addition to a reserve for delinquent loan
     interest as compared with the year earlier quarter.
  *  Total retail deposits, which exclude broker CD's, increased by
     2.1% to $483.1 million from $473.0 million at March 31, 2007 and
     by 3.2% from $468.0 million at June 30, 2006. However, retail
     deposit growth is not without its cost, as deposit interest
     expense increased by 65 basis points during the second quarter of
     2007 compared with the year earlier quarter, and by 10 basis
     points as compared with the first quarter of 2007.
  *  The Company's net interest margin was 3.25% during the quarter
     ended June 30, 2007 compared with 3.63% during the second quarter
     of 2006 and 3.37% during the first quarter of 2007, with the
     decreases reflecting mainly the increase in deposit interest
     cost.
  *  Non-performing loans increased by $2.2 million during the quarter
     mainly due to the addition of two real estate secured credits.
     One of these credits for $0.8 million was brought current
     subsequent to the end of the quarter. The Company is diligently
     working on each of the remaining non-performing loans at June 30,
     2007, all of which are real estate secured, to resolve the
     individual situations.
  *  Fee income increased by $105,000, and operating expenses
     decreased by $33,000 during the quarter compared with the prior
     year period.
  *  Dividends paid in the quarter were $0.20 per share, up 5.3% from
     the $0.19 per share paid during the second quarter of 2006.

Commenting on the performance of the company, President Kent C. Lufkin stated that, "At the risk of repeating myself, these are challenging times for the Company and community banks as a whole. We continue to endure a flat or inverted yield curve which contributes to the pressure on our net interest margin. This environment is exacerbated by an overly competitive frenzy for deposits resulting in rising funding costs. To combat these conditions Third Federal continues to introduce new products such as our investment services program and cash management sweep, while aggressively exploring cost savings and reductions. We are not standing still, waiting for change to occur, we are adapting in order to perform our best in the current environment."
