Columbus, Indiana -- November 9, 2005 -- Irwin Financial Corporation (NYSE: IFC), a bank holding company focusing on mortgage banking, small business banking and home equity lending, today announced net income for the third quarter of 2005 of $18.5 million or $0.61 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $16.3 in the third quarter of 2004 and a loss of $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2005. All segments had sequential quarter improvement in net income and good loan originations. In the third quarter, return on average equity was 14.6 percent and return on average assets was 1.1 percent. Capital remains strong, with capacity for on-going growth. All figures in this earnings release are unaudited, and figures for prior periods reflect changes in accounting for home equity segment incentive servicing fees (ISFs) that will result in the restatement of certain prior periods as described in more detail in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q dated November 9, 2005 . “We are obviously pleased with results this quarter. The quarter-over-quarter improvement was fueled by the turn-around in mortgage banking. In addition, our commercial segments continued their steady progress. Loan growth and credit quality remain strong and both our commercial segments reported record quarterly net income,” noted Irwin Financial Chairman Will Miller. “Last week we announced that we would need to change the way we record revenues from our home equity incentive servicing fees and, as a result, restate our financial statements from 2004 through the second quarter of 2005,” Miller continued. “It is important to understand that the ISF change is an accounting correction at our home equity segment only and does not impact the underlying economics of that business. It simply changes the timing of when we will be recognizing income from these assets. The ISF accounting correction will have no impact on the reported results of any of the other segments. Finally, this development does not change the positive turn-around in our consolidated results we achieved in the third quarter and which we believe will continue into the fourth quarter.” Financial highlights for the period include: Consolidated Results. 3Q 3Q Percent 2Q Percent

Consolidated net revenues increased on a sequential quarter basis largely due to improved net mortgage servicing right (MSR) valuation and servicing hedge performance, but were down on a year-over-year basis due to reduced secondary market margins on mortgage loan sales. The consolidated loan and lease portfolio was $4.0 billion as of September 30, 2005 , a $51 million decline as compared to the end of the second quarter. The decline was attributable to a reduction in “held-for-investment” portfolio in the home equity segment resulting from a strategic decision to sell more home equity product in future quarters and, therefore, a reclassification of $0.2 billion of loans to “held for sale.” The two commercial portfolios increased $205 million or 29 percent on an annualized basis. Loans held for sale in the second mortgage segment increased $485 million on a sequential quarter basis while first mortgage loans held for sale were up slightly at $758 million. Deposits totaled $4.1 billion at September 30, up $0.3 billion or 34 percent on an annualized basis from June 30. The majority of deposit growth came from institutional, non-brokered CD sales. This growth helped offset a $137 million or 19 percent decrease in mortgage escrow deposits which declined as MSRs were sold to reduce mark-to-market valuation risk. The Corporation had $508 million or $17.78 per share in common shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2005 . At quarter end, our Tier 1 Leverage Ratio and Total Risk-based Capital Ratio were 10.3 percent and 13.1 percent, respectively, compared to 11.1 percent and 13.8 percent as of June 30, 2005 . The capital ratios declined as a result of strong loan growth. Nonperforming assets (including other real estate owned of $13 million) were $50 million or 0.77 percent of total assets as of September 30, 2005 , up in dollars from $47 million but the same 0.77 percent of total assets at the end of June. The on-balance sheet allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $54 million as of September 30, up $3 million from the end of the second quarter. The ratio of on-balance sheet allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and leases was 147 percent at September 30, compared to 154 percent at June 30. The consolidated loan and lease loss provision totaled $6 million, compared with $9 million during the second quarter of 2005 and compared favorably to quarterly net charge-offs, which totaled $3 million. Year-to-date provision totaled $18 million, compared with net charge-offs of $8 million. Consolidated thirty-day and greater delinquencies were largely unchanged on a sequential quarter basis. The specific levels 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 in the next table.

Included in the consolidated third quarter 2005 loan loss provision and other reserves is a total estimate of $1.7 million of pre-tax losses in our two consumer mortgage segments as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Our estimates involved the use of considerable judgment and assumptions about uncertain matters including the number of properties damaged, the extent of damage, and insurance recoveries. We will continue to assess the financial impact of the hurricanes as more information becomes available.

Commercial banking earned net income of $7.6 million, a $2.0 million increase over the second quarter and an increase of $2.1 million from the third quarter of 2004. The year-over-year increase reflects increases in net interest income from portfolio growth and a modestly improved net interest margin. The quarterly net income is a record for this segment. The commercial banking segment continued to have good loan growth. Average loans outstanding during the third quarter were $2.6 billion, having increased on a sequential quarter basis by an annualized rate of 35 percent. Average core deposits grew more slowly due to increased price competition, rising during the quarter at an annualized rate of 7 percent. Net interest margin was 3.83 percent during the quarter, up from 3.80 percent during the second quarter. Credit quality continues to be strong. As noted in the table above, thirty-day and greater delinquencies declined to 0.12 percent as of September 30, compared to 0.15 percent at June 30. The commercial banking segment’s loan and lease loss provision of $1.4 million was a $0.2 million sequential quarter decrease and compared favorably to net charge-offs of only $0.6 million. Mortgage banking recorded net income of $5.9 million, compared to a loss of $9.2 million in the second quarter and prior year earnings of $4.1 million. The sequential quarter improvement in these results principally reflects results in the hedging of our servicing asset. Net servicing and hedging impairment of $1 million in the current quarter compared favorably to net impairment of $27 million in the second quarter of 2005. Loan production of $3.2 billion increased 21 percent as compared to originations of $2.6 billion in the second quarter. Each of the three distribution channels had sequential quarter increases in originations. Net margins, however, reflected in the gain on sale of loans continue to show signs of intense price competition. The segment’s gain on sale of loans as a percentage of loans sold were 57 basis points in the current quarter, compared with 66 basis points in the second quarter. Bulk servicing sales totaled $1.8 billion during the third quarter in an effort to continue to reduce the company’s mark-to-market valuation risk on its mortgage servicing assets. The company recognized net revenues of $8.6 million from this sale and has now reduced its mortgage servicing portfolio to $18.5 billion, a $10 billion year-over-year decline. The commercial finance line of business earned $2.5 million in the third quarter, a $1.1 million increase as compared to the second quarter of 2005. Loan and lease fundings totaled $119 million during the quarter compared to $110 million in the second quarter. Both the net income and the level of loan originations were quarterly records for the segment. The segment’s loan and lease portfolio now totals $754 million, a $60 million or 9 percent increase from June 30. Net interest income totaled $9.0 million, a $1.0 million sequential quarter increase. Gain on sales of loans totaled $1.5 million, compared to $0.1 million in the prior quarter. Net interest margin increased to 4.95 percent from 4.77 percent during the second quarter. The loan and lease loss provision in this segment totaled $1.5 million during the quarter, up modestly from the $1.2 million in the prior quarter, reflecting loan and lease growth . Net charge-offs declined to $1.1 million, as compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter. The thirty-day and greater delinquency ratio in this segment increased slightly to 0.59 percent, from 0.54 percent on June 30. Net income in our home equity segment totaled $2.2 million, up from a $0.5 million loss during the second quarter. Loan sale gains and loss provision in this segment were influenced by the low level of loan sales relative to production. Credit quality continues to meet management’s expectations. Loan originations totaled $444 million in the third quarter, down 11 percent from $500 million in the second quarter and compared to loan sales of $151 million during the quarter. As noted above, the company reclassified approximately $209 million from loans-held-for-investment to loans-held-for-sale during the quarter, reflecting a modification of strategy with regard to future balance sheet growth. Management currently expects loan sales in the fourth quarter to be in excess of the $111 million and $151 million, respectively that were sold in the second and third quarters of 2005. The company recognized $0.3 million of mark-to-market gains on its residual asset during the third quarter of 2005. Those assets are carried at fair value at September 30 at $24 million. The company recorded revenues from cash collections of $0.9 million on incentive servicing fees, up from $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2004. Net income for the parent and other consolidating entities was $0.2 million during the third quarter, compared to a loss of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2005. The net income reflected the release of tax reserves and interest on tax refund receivables. Partially offsetting these items was the write-off of capitalized issuance expenses related to Irwin Capital Trust II which was called in the third quarter. Excluding these items, the parent and other segments would have had a third quarter net loss of approximately $1.1 million which more closely reflects management’s expectations for on-going results.
