FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BankFinancial Corporation Reports Financial Results

for the Fourth Quarter of 2006 and the Full Year of 2006

Burr Ridge, Illinois - (February 28, 2007) BankFinancial Corporation (Nasdaq – BFIN) (“BankFinancial”) today reported net income of $1.2 million and basic earnings per share of $0.06 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to net income of $2.9 million and basic earnings per share of $0.13 for the three months ended December 31, 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, BankFinancial reported net income of $10.0 million and basic earnings per share of $0.45, compared to net income of $11.1 million and basic earnings per share of $0.29 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 only included the net income for the partial year following the completion of BankFinancial’s mutual-to-stock conversion on June 23, 2005.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2006 included $3.5 million in equity-based compensation and employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) expenses, compared to $348,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 included $5.4 million in equity-based compensation and ESOP expenses, compared to $717,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Overview of Business Conditions

Business conditions remained relatively stable in the fourth quarter, 2006. Our growth in the multi-family, non-residential real estate, commercial loan and commercial lease portfolios modestly exceeded our expectations for the period, though we do not necessarily anticipate these annualized growth rates continuing into 2007 absent fundamental changes to market conditions. Construction loans remained essentially constant, with disbursements on existing projects slightly exceeding repayments on sold properties. Residential loans continued to decrease, with home equity loans declining somewhat more than expected due to continuing competition both as to price and underwriting standards.

Our non-accrual loans increased this quarter, principally related to a single borrower with two well-secured commercial real estate loans that have since been brought current through the borrower’s exercise of its statutory right to reinstate the loans during a foreclosure proceeding that we initiated. Overall trends in multi-family and commercial real estate portfolio quality remained stable. The healthcare loan portfolio continues to receive priority resolution attention with our exposure expected to continue to decline in 2007. One borrower entered into a formal forbearance agreement and part of this exposure was placed on non-accrual status in 2006 pending the borrower’s performance under the forbearance agreement. We also charged off a fully reserved commercial loan due to the conclusion of legal proceedings, thus inflating the charge-off ratio at December 31, 2006 beyond historical norms. We acquired this loan in our acquisition of Success Bancshares in 2001 and have been maintaining specific reserves against it since we closed that acquisition.


Our construction loan portfolio quality remains stable but we are monitoring the capability of certain borrowers to continue making debt service payments on their construction projects. In addition, we noted that there may be isolated instances where borrowers may not have the additional cash equity to contribute to fund increases in construction costs. As absorption periods lengthen or unbudgeted costs occur, it is possible that we may elect not to renew selected loans rather than accommodate requests to capitalize interest or extend credit for additional project costs, particularly in cases where these actions would not improve our position. Our overall residential and home equity portfolio quality remained strong.

Competition for deposits, especially in the rates paid on money market and certificate of deposit accounts, steadily intensified. As we remained in a solidly competitive position during the fourth quarter, these trends had only a limited effect in deposit retention and growth rates as of December 31, 2006, but a greater impact is likely in 2007 if conditions persist. Our concerns remain about the migration of long-term core deposits to higher-rate accounts and to out-of-market institutions. Our development of new small business sales is accelerating as we experienced a somewhat faster growth rate in new account openings and enrollments in business-related services such as merchant processing and cash management.

Though our net interest margin and net interest spread exhibited stable to positive behavior during the past quarter, we believe that narrowing commercial credit spreads, coupled with future deposit migration risk, make it likely that the Company will experience some future compression in these vital measurements. The principal drivers of any such compression will be the current pricing conditions for high-quality organic loan growth, together with actions needed to retain valuable commercial credit customers and deposit customers.

Non-interest income declined in the quarter, as fees related to deposit accounts were lower than historical seasonal averages due in part to higher average balances; the difference was partially offset by stronger sales of Wealth Management products. Based on our experience in 2006, we expect greater volatility in both categories as our historical data seems to be less reliably predictive and we respond to customer behavior and preferences as competitive and market conditions warrant.

Our core non-interest expense remained well-contained in the fourth quarter, 2006. We continue our operating reviews of products, services and functions to ensure that they are appropriate to current and anticipated business conditions as well as the core focus of the Company. Of primary importance is the ongoing targeting of resources to core customer service, internal controls and compliance and our outreach efforts for new customers within our communities. We believe that one of the principal ways to deliver results for stockholders in this difficult operating environment is to optimize the organization’s expenditures towards those customer segments that most closely align to the Company’s commercial community bank mission.

Overview of Financial Condition and Operating Results

Financial Condition

Net loans receivable increased $17.8 million, or 1.4%, to $1.330 billion during the fourth quarter of 2006. Multi-family real estate loans increased $5.0 million, or 1.7%, to $297.1 million; nonresidential real estate loans increased $13.1 million, or 4.3%, to $320.7 million; commercial leases increased $4.1 million, or 3.1%, to $139.2 million; commercial loans increased $4.4 million, or 5.2%, to $89.3 million; and construction and land loans increased $1.7 million, or 2.0%, to $85.2 million. We reduced our holdings of one- to four-family residential real estate loans during the fourth quarter of 2006 by $11.7 million, or 2.9%, to $397.5 million. Future loan growth could be adversely affected by our unwillingness to compete for loans by relaxing our historical underwriting standards.

Securities available-for-sale decreased by $39.5 million, or 25.1%, to $117.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2006, as we continued to reduce our levels of investment securities and use the proceeds to repay Federal Home Loan Bank advances to mitigate the impact of the inverted yield curve environment. We initiated this balance sheet strategy in the second quarter of 2006 by liquidating substantially all of the securities that University National Bank held in its investment portfolio shortly after we closed the acquisition of this institution and using the proceeds to repay Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Total deposits increased by $23.3 million, or 2.1%, during the fourth quarter of 2006. NOW accounts increased by $22.5 million, or 8.9%; money market accounts increased by $10.0 million, or 4.0%; and noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased by $3.6 million, or 2.8%. Savings accounts decreased by $4.0 million, or 3.4%, while certificates of deposit decreased by $8.7 million, or 2.5%. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $26.0 million, or 16.7%.

Asset Quality

Non-performing loans increased by $757,000 to $9.2 million during the fourth quarter, and represented 0.69% of loans. The increase was principally related to a single borrower with two well-secured commercial real estate loans that have since been brought current through the borrower’s exercise of its statutory right to reinstate the loans during a foreclosure proceeding that we initiated. As a result of the reinstatement of the loans and other factors, including the value of the underlying collateral, no specific reserves under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 114 were allocated to this borrower’s loans at December 31, 2006.

The allowance for loan losses decreased by $1,302,000 between the third and fourth quarters of 2006 due principally to a $982,000 decrease in the portion of the allowance for loan losses that we allocate to impaired loans pursuant to SFAS No. 114, with the remaining $320,000 decrease in the portion of the allowance allocated to general loan and lease losses pursuant to SFAS No. 5. Of the $982,000 decrease in SFAS No. 114 allocated reserves, $704,000 resulted from a charge-off of a fully reserved commercial loan due to the conclusion of legal proceedings. We acquired this loan in our acquisition of Success Bancshares in 2001 and have been maintaining specific reserves against it since we closed that acquisition. The charge-off

 

Page 3


increased our net charge-off ratio for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 to 0.23%, compared to 0.03% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and a net recovery of 0.02% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. As a result of this activity, we recorded a credit for loan losses of $537,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s SFAS No. 114 allocation for impaired loans was $402,000. The specific reserves attributable to loans are strongly influenced by the market value of the underlying collateral for the loans. As changes in the market value of the underlying collateral occur, fluctuations in the specific reserves attributable to loans secured by the collateral should also be expected to occur, and any declines in the market value of collateral could result in new or additional provisions for specific reserves. Certain types of collateral, such as marketable securities, are particularly susceptible to sudden changes in market value.

Fourth Quarter of 2006 Operating Results

We had net income of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to net income of $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. Our operating results for the fourth quarter of 2006 included a $3.5 million expense for equity-based compensation and benefits, compared to a $348,000 expense for the fourth quarter of 2005. The additional expense primarily related to equity-based awards that were made pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan that our stockholders approved in June of 2006, and additional expenses arising from the ESOP that we established in connection with our mutual-to-stock conversion in June of 2005. Equity-based compensation expenses totaled approximately $2.1 million, after-tax, or $0.10 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to $210,000, after-tax, or $0.01 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2005.

Net interest income was $14.0 million, compared to net interest income of $13.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. Our net interest margin was 3.74% for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to 3.60% for the fourth quarter of 2005. Average loans outstanding increased by $130.9 million, or 10.9%. To mitigate the adverse impact of the inverted yield curve environment, we reduced our portfolio of available for sale securities by $156.1 million, or 58.7%, to an average balance of $110.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to an average balance of $266.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2005. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $18.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2006, primarily due to the impact of our acquisition of University National Bank. Our net interest rate spread for the fourth quarter of 2006 was 2.91%, which was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2005. Our net interest rate spread for the fourth quarter of 2005 included an accelerated purchase accounting adjustment that reduced our net interest rate spread by seven basis points.

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $2.5 million, an increase of approximately $80,000, or 3.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2005. Deposit service charges and fees increased by $36,000, or 3.7%, and other fee income decreased by $6,000, or 1.2%. Insurance commissions and annuities income increased $136,000, or 56.2%. Gains on sale of loans increased from $27,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005 to $61,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006. We recorded a net of loss of $43,000 on the sale of investment securities during the fourth quarter of 2006, while no gains or losses on the sale of investment securities were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2005. Mortgage loan servicing fees decreased by $22,000, or 8.8%. We

 

Page 4


recorded a mortgage servicing rights valuation reserve recovery of $158,000 in the fourth quarter of 2005, while no such recoveries were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006. Other income increased by $92,000, or 22.5%, to $500,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006. The increase included a $71,000, or 22.8%, increase in title insurance agency commissions and fees.

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $15.4 million, compared to $11.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of $3.9 million. The increase principally relates to equity-based awards that were made pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan and additional expenses arising from our first full year of making contributions to our ESOP. In addition, the operation of the two former University National Bank facilities contributed approximately $430,000 to this increase in noninterest expense, including $102,000 in core deposit intangible amortization expense arising from that acquisition. Total core deposit intangible amortization expense increased by $84,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Office occupancy and equipment expenses increased $39,000, or 2.8%. Advertising and public relations expenses increased $27,000, or 12.5%. Data processing expenses increased $41,000, or 5.0%. Supplies, telephone and postage expense increased $92,000, or 19.7%. Other expenses increased by $321,000, or 38.6%. The increase in other expenses included a $194,000 increase in auditing expenses relating to compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and a $168,000 reduction in the amount of other expenses that were capitalized as direct loan origination costs.

2006 Operating Results

We recorded net income of $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net income of $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The principal factors affecting the change in net income from year to year included a $5.2 million, or 10.1%, increase in our net interest income; a $1.8 million, or 21.3%, increase in noninterest income; and a $654,000 decrease in our provision for loan losses. These increases were more than offset by an $8.2 million, or 18.5%, increase in noninterest expense, and a $548,000, or 12.8%, increase in income tax expense. Our net income for 2006 and for the last six months of 2005 was favorably impacted by the completion of our mutual-to-stock conversion on June 23, 2005, and reflected increased interest income and reduced interest expense on borrowings resulting from our deployment of the net proceeds from the subscription offering undertaken in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion, which totaled $220.7 million (excluding the $19.6 million in stock purchased by our ESOP), to increase average interest earning assets and reduce average borrowings and wholesale deposits.

Our operating results for 2006 included $5.4 million in expenses for equity-based compensation and benefits, compared to $717,000 for 2005, relating to equity-based awards that were made during the third and fourth quarters of 2006 pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan and additional expenses arising from our first full year of making contributions to our ESOP. Our 2005 net income included approximately $450,000 in pre-tax net interest income on stock subscription order receipts relating to our mutual-to-stock conversion; a tax recovery of $473,000; and $281,000 in pre-tax expense relating to the accelerated amortization of a purchase accounting adjustment resulting from the pre-payment of a loan that we acquired in our acquisition of Success Bancshares. In addition, our 2005 net income was negatively affected by a $388,000 yield adjustment amortization expense, pre-tax, relating to our restructuring of $170.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings in July 2003. No yield adjustment amortization expense was recorded during 2006.

Dividends

On January 31, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share payable on Friday, March 2, 2007 to stockholders of record on Wednesday, February 14, 2007. This represents our first increase in the quarterly dividend rate since we commenced the payment of cash dividends in May of 2006. Total dividends paid in 2006 were $4.4 million.

Stock Repurchases

For the three months ended December 31, 2006, we repurchased 226,600 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $3.9 million. As of December 31, 2006, we have purchased a total of 977,300 shares at an aggregate cost of $17.3 million under our August 30, 2006 authorization to purchase up to 2,446,625 shares.

Subsequent Event

We acquired a portfolio of highly-seasoned residential mortgage loans in 2006 with an approximate balance of $16.2 million from a loan servicing company. We also acquired a portfolio of commercial loans in 2005 with an approximate balance of $4.6 million from the same loan servicing company. The loan servicing company filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in late December, 2006, thus creating substantial doubt as to the value of its recourse obligation if we experience any losses in the acquired residential loan portfolio. The bankruptcy court appointed a bankruptcy trustee in late January, 2007. The bankruptcy trustee has suspended servicing remittances to all loan servicing clients of the debtor pending further direction from the bankruptcy court, and as a result, we have not received the monthly scheduled servicing remittances that were due in January, 2007 and February, 2007, which approximate $350,000 each month. The bankruptcy trustee recently reported that the loan servicing trust account has a current balance in excess of $4.6 million, but that the trust account is substantially out of balance and is insufficient to pay all of the debtor’s obligations to its servicing clients. We have engaged counsel to seek termination of the existing loan servicing agreements and a turnover of future servicing remittances and the past servicing remittances that have not been paid, and to defend against competing claims that have been asserted to the serviced loans or the servicing remittances. We have not yet established any specific reserves for these purchased loans pending the receipt of additional information and future developments in the bankruptcy proceeding, including the outcome of hearings scheduled for March, 2007.

BANKFINANCIAL CORPORATION

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in making operating, budgeting and planning decisions for future periods. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. The Company believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures described below provides the Board of Directors and management, and may provide some investors, with a more complete understanding the Company’s operating results and trends, and facilitate comparisons to historical and peer performance. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation, or as superior to or a substitute for, financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar non-GAAP financial measures that are used by other companies, thus limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool.

Amortization of Intangibles Expense. The Company believes that the exclusion from its net income of expense for the amortization of the core deposit intangible assets resulting from its acquisition of Success Bancshares and University National Bank facilitates the comparison of the Company’s operating results to the Company’s historical performance and to the performance of other financial institutions with different acquisition histories. In addition, the level of amortization of core deposit intangible assets arising from an acquisition can vary significantly depending on the valuation methodology used and the interest rate environment that existed at the time of the acquisition.

Equity-based Compensation. The Company believes that the exclusion of equity-based compensation expense from its net income facilitates the comparison of the Company’s operating results to the Company’s historical performance, including the prior periods in which it operated as a mutual institution and had no stock outstanding. In addition, the Company believes that this non-GAAP measure facilitates the comparison of the Company’s performance to the performance of other financial institutions that have different or more seasoned equity-based compensation plans, including plans pursuant to which stock option awards vested prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R.

Core Return on Assets. The Company believes that adjusting the calculation of its return on assets to exclude the equity-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles expense described above furthers the purposes described above. Thus, the Company calculates core return on assets by dividing net income for a period, adjusted to exclude these expenses, by its average assets for the period.

Core Return on Equity. The Company believes that adjusting the calculation of its return on equity to exclude the equity-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles expenses described above furthers the purposes described above. Thus, the Company calculates core return on equity by dividing average stockholders’ equity for a period by net income, adjusted to exclude these expenses, for the period.

Core Efficiency Ratio. The Company believes that adjusting the calculation of its efficiency ratio to exclude the equity-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles expense described above furthers the purposes described above. Thus, the Company calculates core efficiency ratio by dividing noninterest expense, adjusted to exclude these expenses, by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

There are inherent limitations associated with the use of each of the above non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in the Company’s financial results in the future. The Company has further highlighted these and the other limitations described above by providing a reconciliation of the GAAP amounts that have been excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.

BANKFINANCIAL CORPORATION

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in making operating, budgeting and planning decisions for future periods. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. The Company believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measures described below provides the Board of Directors and management, and may provide some investors, with a more complete understanding the Company’s operating results and trends, and facilitate comparisons to historical and peer performance. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation, or as superior to or a substitute for, financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar non-GAAP financial measures that are used by other companies, thus limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool.

Amortization of Intangibles Expense. The Company believes that the exclusion from its net income of expense for the amortization of the core deposit intangible assets resulting from its acquisition of Success Bancshares and University National Bank facilitates the comparison of the Company’s operating results to the Company’s historical performance and to the performance of other financial institutions with different acquisition histories. In addition, the level of amortization of core deposit intangible assets arising from an acquisition can vary significantly depending on the valuation methodology used and the interest rate environment that existed at the time of the acquisition.

Equity-based Compensation. The Company believes that the exclusion of equity-based compensation expense from its net income facilitates the comparison of the Company’s operating results to the Company’s historical performance, including the prior periods in which it operated as a mutual institution and had no stock outstanding. In addition, the Company believes that this non-GAAP measure facilitates the comparison of the Company’s performance to the performance of other financial institutions that have different or more seasoned equity-based compensation plans, including plans pursuant to which stock option awards vested prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R.

Core Return on Assets. The Company believes that adjusting the calculation of its return on assets to exclude the equity-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles expense described above furthers the purposes described above. Thus, the Company calculates core return on assets by dividing net income for a period, adjusted to exclude these expenses, by its average assets for the period.

Core Return on Equity. The Company believes that adjusting the calculation of its return on equity to exclude the equity-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles expenses described above furthers the purposes described above. Thus, the Company calculates core return on equity by dividing average stockholders’ equity for a period by net income, adjusted to exclude these expenses, for the period.

Core Efficiency Ratio. The Company believes that adjusting the calculation of its efficiency ratio to exclude the equity-based compensation expense and the amortization of intangibles expense described above furthers the purposes described above. Thus, the Company calculates core efficiency ratio by dividing noninterest expense, adjusted to exclude these expenses, by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

There are inherent limitations associated with the use of each of the above non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in the Company’s financial results in the future. The Company has further highlighted these and the other limitations described above by providing a reconciliation of the GAAP amounts that have been excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
