COLUMBUS, Indiana -- April 29, 2005 -- Irwin Financial Corporation (NYSE: IFC), a bank holding company focusing on mortgage banking, small business and home equity lending, today announced net income for the first quarter of 2005 of $3.6 million or $0.13 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $14.4 million or $0.48 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2004. The decline is largely attributable to a reduction in net income from mortgage banking operations. Return on average equity totaled 2.9 percent compared to 11.7 percent a year earlier.

In a previous press release, the company had stated that it expected a small loss in the quarter. The change to a profit resulted from updated estimates of the value of incentive servicing fee agreements at the home equity line of business made during the closing process.

"We are obviously disappointed with our performance in mortgage banking," noted Irwin Financial Chairman Will Miller. "Like many in the industry, we have found it difficult to reduce the size of operations after the refinance boom of 2001-2003 in a rapid enough fashion to align with the reduced margins of the past several quarters. In addition, the direction of interest rates started the quarter by declining rapidly, leading us to reposition our hedges. Rates then rose approximately three quarters of a percent over the last half of the quarter, driving our servicing values over the 'lower of cost or market' cap in GAAP that caused us to book hedge losses greater than the amount by which we could have otherwise recognized increases in servicing values. The economic value of our servicing rights continued to rise and would have offset the hedge losses had we been allowed to book the increase in value under GAAP. We have implemented a number of difficult and painful actions in our mortgage banking business that should bring it back to profitability. These steps include a strategic paring of our production operation to focus on our traditional strengths in first-time and emerging market homebuyers and selective servicing sales."

"At the same time, we are pleased with the first quarter performance in our other three segments. We had strong origination volumes in the home equity sector and steady growth in the commercial portfolios, coupled with satisfactory overall credit quality."

Miller continued, "In our home equity segment, we sell a portion of our current production on a credit-risk sold basis to manage the balance sheet, but have retained servicing rights to leverage the strength of our servicing operations. Certain buyers of these whole loans have granted us incentive servicing rights in order to align interests by encouraging servicing practices to produce better-than-industry-norm credit performance. SFAS 133 requires we mark certain derivatives associated with these incentive servicing rights to market on a quarterly basis. While we would prefer to limit our mark-to-market activities, we would have to forgo substantial potential economic value by dropping the incentive servicing agreements to do so. We believe the value created in the long-term from these fees will outweigh the negatives of the mark-to-market requirement. Our improved consolidated results for the quarter compared to the expectation we announced in early April resulted from updated forecasts of the value of these incentive servicing agreements. To limit volatility in our capital accounts, we hold dollar-for- dollar capital against these derivatives."

Financial highlights for the period include:

Consolidated net revenues declined on both a sequential quarter basis and compared with the year earlier quarter. The majority of the declines in each period occurred in our first mortgage segment reflecting a combination of lower loan production, reduced gains on secondary market activities, and reduced net recovery of mortgage servicing impairment.

Our total loan and lease portfolio of $3.5 billion as of March 31, 2005, increased $37 million or 1 percent from the end of the fourth quarter. Our two commercial portfolios increased $75 million or 11 percent on an annualized basis during the quarter, whereas our second mortgage loan portfolio declined $37 million, due to run-off and whole loan sales. However, our loans held for sale in the first and second mortgage segments increased $163 million during the quarter and totaled $1.1 billion at quarter end, up 18 percent from December 31.

Deposits totaled $3.8 billion at March 31, up $375 million or 11 percent from December 31. Average core deposits of $2.2 billion rose at a modest annualized rate of 5 percent during the first quarter, but have increased $458 million or 26 percent during the past year as we continue to shift our funding focus to core deposits from wholesale sources.

We had $504 million or $17.67 per share in common shareholders' equity as of March 31, 2005. At quarter end, our Tier 1 Leverage Ratio and Total Risk- based Capital Ratio were 12.0 percent and 15.0 percent, respectively, compared to 11.6 percent and 15.9 percent as of December 31, 2004. The Risk-based Capital Ratio declined principally as a result of loan growth in excess of capital growth.

Nonperforming assets (including other real estate owned of $13 million) were $41 million or 0.75 percent of total assets as of March 31, 2005, down from $45 million or 0.86 percent of total assets at the end of December. Our on-balance sheet allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $45 million as of March 31, up $1 million from the end of the year. The ratio of on-balance sheet allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and leases increased to 163 percent at March 31, compared to 132 percent at December 31 principally as the result of one commercial banking credit which moved from non-performing to real estate owned.

Our consolidated loan and lease loss provision totaled $3 million, up $1 million from the fourth quarter of 2004 and compared favorably to net charge- offs, which totaled $2 million, down $4 million from the fourth quarter. The amount of 30-day and greater delinquencies, the ratio of charge-offs to average loans and leases, and the allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases for our principal credit-related portfolios are shown below. In general, despite the rising delinquencies in our commercial portfolios, which we believe are manageable, we are pleased with the recent credit performance of the portfolios and anticipate similar credit results in the near future.

     1. Home Equity on -balance sheet Allowance to Loans and Leases relates to
        Loans Held for Investment portfolio only.

     2. Off-balance sheet loans underlie our residual interests.  These loans
        have been treated as sold under SFAS 140 and have a reserve
        methodology that reflects life-of-account loss expectations, whereas
        our policy for on-balance sheet loans requires that we hold loss
        reserve coverage sufficient for potential losses inherent in the
        portfolio at the balance sheet date. The figures for reserves in the
        column labeled "Home Equity Lending Off-Balance Sheet," therefore, are
        not balance sheet accounts of "allowance for loan and lease losses,"
        but instead represent the percentage of undiscounted losses assumed in
        our residual valuation relative to the underlying loan balances
        supporting the residual interests.

Mortgage banking recorded a net loss of $9.6 million, compared to earnings of $9.7 million a year earlier. These results reflect servicing hedge costs in excess of servicing impairment recovery of $15 million, compared with a net recovery of $10 million in the year earlier as well as significantly reduced secondary market loan margins.

The majority of the hedge losses occurred as interest rates rose rapidly toward the end of the quarter. This increase in rates resulted in hedge losses that exceeded our servicing asset impairment reversal, which is capped under GAAP at the lower-of-cost-or-market (LOCOM). By the end of the quarter, the market value of our first mortgage servicing asset had increased in value to $26 million more than the LOCOM-capped carrying value. Therefore, absent this LOCOM cap, our economic, non-GAAP impairment reversal, net of hedge costs, would have been approximately $11 million. We do not seek hedge accounting under SFAS 133 due to the insufficient short-term correlation between mortgages and hedging instruments. During the first quarter, we recorded $1 million of revenue related to a sale of $1 billion in servicing assets, a $7 million sequential quarter decline. To further reduce our risk of future servicing asset impairment, we intend to make selective servicing sales later in the year.

We originated $2.8 billion of mortgage loans during the quarter, recording net origination fees and gains on sales of $25 million, compared with $3.5 billion of originations and $34 million of gains during the fourth quarter.

As previously announced, during the quarter, we sold certain retail and credit union channel branches which no longer fit our growth strategy. Exit costs attributed to these sales totaled approximately $1.2 million; we anticipate modest additional costs will be incurred in the second quarter as these transactions are finalized. We anticipate that we will recognize some incremental revenue over the next three years as part of an earn-out based remuneration for these branches.

Commercial banking net revenues were largely unchanged from the fourth quarter. Net income of $5.5 million for this segment was a decline of $1.3 million from the prior quarter principally reflecting increased personnel expenses related to recent new office expansions in Sacramento and Southern California.

Deposit growth of $294 million outpaced loan portfolio growth of $56 million. Net interest margin was 3.75 percent during the quarter, down from 3.81 percent during the fourth quarter, reflecting temporary investment of excess deposits in lower yielding investments and an increase in internally allocated coupon-bearing capital. We anticipate stronger loan growth in the second quarter and with that growth, believe both net interest income and margin will expand, aided by our strong deposit growth.

Credit quality continues to be strong, notwithstanding an increase in thirty-day and greater delinquencies to 0.66 percent at March 31. The increase in delinquencies was attributable to three commercial credits, each of which we believe to have minimal loss exposure. Our loan and lease loss provision of $1.0 million increased modestly during the quarter and compared to charge-offs of only $0.4 million. We anticipate our quarterly provision will increase modestly in 2005 as loan growth continues.

Net income in our home equity segment totaled $6.9 million, up from $6.4 million during the fourth quarter. As noted in the table above, credit quality continues to show improvement.

Loan originations totaled $430 million in the first quarter, up 28 percent from $335 million in the fourth quarter. We sold $322 million of loans during the quarter, for a net gain on sale of $8 million. Our loan and lease loss provision of $0.4 million compared to net charge-offs of $0.3 million.

Our residual interests totaled $46 million at March 31, down from $52 million at December 31. We recorded $0.5 million in residual trading gains during the quarter, compared to $10 million during the fourth quarter.

In addition, we recorded $10.5 million of other revenues during the quarter related to increased valuations of our incentive servicing fee derivatives. These derivatives are created through certain whole loan sales transactions (credit risk sold) and have value when our servicing and collections practices exceed industry-based credit standards. At March 31, 2005, we discounted these derivatives at rates between 30 and 40 percent, taking into consideration a variety of factors, including volatility of anticipated cash flow, credit quality, loan-to-value ratio, and anticipated prepayment speeds. We service $0.9 billion of loans for third parties on which we own incentive servicing rights and carry those incentive rights at $13.7 million as of March 31. Please see the MD&A of our home equity segment in our 10-Q filing for more detail.

Our commercial finance line of business earned $0.7 million in the first quarter, a $0.4 million decline as compared to the fourth quarter. The decline in quarterly net income was largely attributable to a one-time increase in non-interest expenses related to our resolution of a contract dispute.

Loan and lease fundings totaled $83 million during the quarter compared to $115 million in the fourth quarter. Our loan and lease portfolio in this segment now totals $644 million, a $19 million increase from December 31. Net interest margin declined modestly to 4.85 percent, from 4.95 percent during the fourth quarter.

Our loan and lease loss provision in this segment totaled $2.1 million during the quarter, up modestly from $2.0 million in the fourth quarter. Net charge-offs declined on a sequential quarter basis by $2.6 million or 65 percent to $1.4 million, largely reflecting an elevated level in our commercial finance segment during the fourth quarter. Our thirty-day and greater delinquency ratio in this segment increased to 1.10 percent from 0.70 percent as of December 31. Our non-performing assets increased approximately 3 percent to $4 million.
