For Immediate Release

FIRST DEFIANCE FINANCIAL CORP. REVISES 2009

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR EARNINGS

DEFIANCE, OHIO (February 8th, 2010) – First Defiance Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FDEF) today announced a revision to its previously announced fourth quarter and full year 2009 earnings as described below. The revision is due primarily to an increase in the provision for loan loss of $1.5 million. Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $7.2 million or $.63 per diluted common share compared to $7.4 million or $.91 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2008. The 2008 twelve month results included $1.1 million of acquisition-related charges associated with the March 14, 2008 acquisition of Pavilion Bancorp of Adrian, Michigan (Pavilion) and its subsidiary the Bank of Lenawee. Excluding the after-tax impact of those charges, First Defiance had earnings of $8.1 million, or $1.00 per diluted common share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009, First Defiance earned $555,000 or $0.01 per diluted common share compared to $880,000 or $0.09 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2008.

Credit Quality

The Company revised its fourth quarter provision for loan loss to $8.5 million from the previously announced $7.0 million. The increase related primarily to one loan relationship. After further review of current circumstances and information regarding that loan, management concluded that the loan was impaired as of December 31, 2009 and applied a specific reserve to this credit relationship. The loan relationship is current and as such is not considered a non-performing loan. The additional provision for loan loss correspondingly increased the allowance for loan losses to $36.5 million or 2.26% of loans at December 31, 2009.

Capital

The Company’s subsidiary, First Federal Bank of the Midwest, is well capitalized at December 31, 2009 and meets all capital adequacy guidelines with total risk based capital of $229.6 million which exceeds the well capitalized required amount by $53.5 million. The total risk based capital ratio at December 31, 2009 was 13.04% compared with the regulatory well capitalized minimum level of 10%.

Total Assets at $2.06 Billion

Total assets at December 31, 2009 were $2.06 billion, compared to $1.96 billion at December 31, 2008. Net loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale) were $1.58 billion at December 31, 2009 compared to $1.59 billion at December 31, 2008. Total cash and cash equivalents were $121.1 million at December 31, 2009 compared with $46.1 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $75.0 million. Total deposits at December 31, 2009 were $1.58 billion compared to $1.47 billion at December 31, 2008, an increase of $110.3 million. Non-interest bearing deposits at December 31, 2009 were $189.1 million compared to $176.1 million at December 31, 2008. Total stockholders’ equity was $234.1 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $229.2 million at the December 31, 2008. Also at December 31, 2009, goodwill and other intangible assets totaled $63.5 million compared to $64.9 million at December 31, 2008.

Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliations

First Defiance Financial Corp.

Management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures in this release assists investors when comparing results period-to-period in a more meaningful and consistent manner and provides a better measure of results for First Defiance’s ongoing operations. Core operating earnings are net income adjusted to exclude discontinued operations, merger, integration and restructuring expenses and the results of certain significant transactions not representative of ongoing operations.

Core Operating Earnings	Three months ended December 31,					Twelve Months Ended December 31,
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)	2009		2008			2009		2008
Net Income	$	555	$	880		$	7,194	$	7,357

Core operating earnings	$	555	$	935		$	7,194	$	8,083

Acquisition related charges in 2008 reflect charges associated with the acquisition of Pavilion Bancorp.

Core operating earnings is used as the numerator to calculate core operating return on average assets, core operating return on average equity and core operating earnings per share. Additionally, non-operating items are deducted from non-interest expense in the numerator and non-interest income in the denominator of the core operating efficiency ratio disclosed in the tables. Comparable information on a GAAP basis is also provided in the tables.
