FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BankFinancial Corporation Reports Third Quarter

2008 Financial Results – Results Include Previously Announced

Freddie Mac Preferred Stock Impairment Charge that is Expected to

Produce $10.1 Million Tax Benefit in Fourth Quarter

Burr Ridge, Illinois—(November 3, 2008) BankFinancial Corporation (Nasdaq – BFIN) (“BankFinancial”) reported a net loss of $25.1 million for the third quarter of 2008. The $25.1 million net loss for the third quarter includes a $24.8 million, pre-tax impairment loss and the establishment of a temporary valuation allowance for deferred income taxes on the preferred stocks of Freddie Mac, a government sponsored entity, that BankFinancial holds in its investment portfolio. Our loss per share of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.27 and $1.26 per basic and fully diluted share, respectively, compared to earnings of $0.11 per share for the three-month period ending September 30, 2007.

As previously announced, BankFinancial determined that the Freddie Mac preferred stocks were other-than-temporarily impaired in accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance following a series of governmental actions on September 7, 2008 that resulted in the placing of Freddie Mac into conservatorship, the issuance of new shares of Freddie Mac preferred stock to the U.S. Department of Treasury that are senior to all previously issued shares of Freddie Mac preferred stock, and the suspension of dividends on all previously issued preferred shares of Freddie Mac preferred stock.

BankFinancial expects to recognize an approximate tax benefit of $10.1 million related to the September 30, 2008 Freddie Mac preferred stock impairment loss, but because the provisions of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 that allow the impairment loss to be deducted against ordinary income were not enacted until October 3, 2008, the tax benefit will be applied to BankFinancial’s results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2008.

At September 30, 2008, BankFinancial had total assets of $1.449 billion, total loans of $1.216 billion, total deposits of $1.046 billion and stockholders’ equity of $262 million. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, BankFinancial, F.S.B., is considered well capitalized under applicable banking laws and regulations, with a total capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 15.72%, a Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 14.87%, and a Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets ratio of 13.17% at September 30, 2008. The minimum capital requirements that must be met to be considered well capitalized are a total capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 6%, and a Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets ratio of at least 5%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, BankFinancial repurchased 432,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $6.5 million. The current share repurchase authorization is currently scheduled to expire on November 15, 2008.

BankFinancial filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and a Quarterly Financial and Statistical Supplement on Form 8-K with the SEC today. Both reports will be available on BankFinancial’s website, www.bankfinancial.com on the “Stockholder Information” page, and through the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. The Quarterly Financial and Statistical Supplement includes comparative GAAP and non-GAAP performance data and financial measures for the most recent five quarters.

BankFinancial’s management will review third quarter 2008 results in a conference call and webcast for stockholders and analysts on Tuesday, November 4, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. Central Standard Time (CST). The conference call may be accessed by calling (800) 591-6923 and using participant passcode 93446060. The conference call will be simultaneously webcast at www.bankfinancial.com, on the Stockholder Information page.

BANKFINANCIAL CORPORATION

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

BankFinancial Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“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 of 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.

Equity-based Compensation. The Company believes that the exclusion of equity-based compensation expense from its net income (loss) 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.

Amortization of Intangibles Expense. The Company believes that the exclusion from its net income (loss) 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.

Gain on sale of Visa stock and Gain on unredeemed Visa stock. The Company believes that the exclusion of these gains, related to the completion of Visa’s IPO in March of 2008, from its net income (loss) facilitates the comparison of the Company’s operating results to the Company’s historical performance.

Visa Settlement. The Company believes that the exclusion of this litigation expense due to our proportionate share of Visa litigation charges from its net income (loss) facilitates the comparison of the Company’s operating results to the Company’s historical performance.

Loss on Impairment of Securities. The Company believes that the exclusion from its net income (loss) of the impairment loss on our Freddie Mac preferred stocks, based on our determination that the unrealized loss that existed with respect to these securities constituted an other-than-temporary impairment, facilitates the comparison of the Company’s operating results to the Company’s historical performance. Any deferred tax valuation reserve related to the loss on impairment will also be excluded from net income (loss).

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

 

Page 6


Core Dilutive Earnings per Share. The Company believes that adjusting the calculation of its dilutive earnings per share to exclude the equity-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangibles expenses, the Visa gains and settlement expense, and the loss on impairment furthers the purposes described above. Thus, the Company calculates core dilutive earnings per share by net income (loss), adjusted to exclude these items, for the period by the weighted average dilutive common shares outstanding, for the period.

Core Noninterest Expense to Average Total Assets. The Company believes that adjusting the calculation of its noninterest expense to average total assets to exclude the equity-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangibles expenses, the Visa settlement expense, and the loss on impairment furthers the purposes described above. Thus, the Company calculates noninterest expense to average total assets by dividing noninterest expense, adjusted to exclude these expenses, by average total assets for the period.

Core Efficiency Ratio. The Company believes that adjusting the calculation of its efficiency ratio to exclude the equity-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangibles expenses, the Visa gains and settlement expense, and the loss on impairment 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, adjusted to exclude these gains.

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.
