IRWIN FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES

THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS


(Columbus, IN) Irwin Financial Corporation (NASDAQ-NMS: IRWN) today announced net income for the third quarter of 2000 of $9.1 million or $0.43 per share compared with $8.7 million or $0.40 per share a year earlier, an increase in earnings per share of 7.5%. Year-to-date, net income has totaled $26.1 million or $1.23 per share, an increase of 7.0%. Total net revenues in the quarter were $79.2 million, compared with $65.1 million in the third quarter of 1999, an increase of 21.6%.

Return on average equity in the third quarter was 21.0% and the return on average assets was 1.67%.

The quarter was marked by continued strong performance at the Corporation's home equity line of business.

Lines of Business

The Corporation's home equity lending business (www.ihe.com) earned $4.0 million, ($6.7 million pre-tax), in the third quarter, compared with $2.6 million pre-tax a year earlier, a 162.6% pre-tax improvement. Home equity loan and line of credit originations totaled $193.0 million in the quarter, an increase of $95.4 million or 97.8% compared with a year earlier. The owned portfolio of home equity loans and lines of credit totaled $1.1 billion at quarter-end, compared with $0.7 billion a year earlier, an increase of 42.7%. The improvement in net income was primarily the result of a $7.6 million or 187.1% increase in gain on sale revenues, reflecting a 179.1% increase in the principal balance of loans delivered to the secondary market. Origination fees and points increased to $4.7 million, a $3.1 million or 203.1% year-over-year increase.

In addition, the home equity business completed three separate transactions significant to continued development of its growth strategy.

*

The company successfully completed its 11th asset-backed transaction with the sale of approximately $350 million of asset-backed AAA-rated bonds and a AAA-rated interest-only strip. The securities are to be collateralized by a pool of home equity loans and lines of credit that include loans with 100% and 125% combined loan-to-value ratios.

*

Separately, the company sold 38% of the residual interest in home equity loans (representing approximately $125 million of unpaid principal balance) previously securitized in December 1999. Consistent with two previous residual sales, the company sold the residual interest for a price equal to its current carrying value, establishing a market value for this residual consistent with the company's valuation assumptions.

*

Finally, early in the fourth quarter, the company acquired the residual interest, servicing rights and related whole loans of an approximately $400 million pool of previously securitized home equity lines of credit. The collateral supporting the pool is seasoned lines of credit predominantly up to 100% combined loan-to-value and similar in credit quality and yield to lines of credit originated by the company. Based on its interpretation of recently proposed federal banking regulations, the company believes the acquisition of the interest-only strip would qualify as a purchased residual interest for purposes of capital treatment.


Net income at the Corporation's mortgage banking subsidiary (www.irwinmortgage.com) totaled $3.7 million, a decrease of $2.8 million or 42.9% compared with third quarter 1999 earnings of $6.5 million. The decline principally reflected decreased loan origination fees, lower interest income due to reduced volume resulting from higher interest rates, and lower absorption of fixed costs.

Mortgage loan originations totaled $1.0 billion, down $0.3 billion or 24.5% from a year earlier. Refinanced loans accounted for 13.2% of originations in the third quarter, compared with 15.9% a year earlier. The company's owned mortgage servicing portfolio totaled $10.0 billion as of September 30, 2000, a year-over-year decrease of 4.8%, reflecting the company's decision to sell selected portions of the portfolio to take advantage of increasing values as interest rates have risen. The capitalized value of the company's servicing portfolio increased to $133.3 million as of September 30, 2000, compared with $127.9 million a year earlier, a 4.2% increase, primarily reflecting positive valuation adjustments resulting from slower prepayment speeds. The total economic value of the servicing portfolio at quarter end was $203.0 million, which was $69.7 million greater than the capitalized value.

Net income for the commercial banking line of business (www.irwinunion.com) totaled $1.8 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $0.1 million or 4.3% from a year earlier, principally reflecting expenses related to the company's expansion activities. During the third quarter, the Bank successfully opened new markets in Louisville and Salt Lake City and hired personnel to start up markets in Las Vegas and Phoenix, continuing the progress of its strategy of identifying metropolitan markets which have undergone disruptive commercial bank merger and acquisition activity, while staffing the markets with experienced, senior lending officers. The amount of the increases in compensation, office support, and related capital expense charges were in line with management's expectations.

The bank's loan portfolio of $974.5 million increased $324.2 million, or 49.8% year-over-year. The net interest margin for the Bank was 4.40%, compared with 4.89% a year earlier reflecting higher cost sources of funds. The Bank's net charge-offs totaled $103 thousand during the third quarter, compared with $121 thousand a year earlier. The Bank's 30-day and greater commercial loan delinquency was 0.29% as of September 30, 2000, compared with 1.03% a year earlier.

The Corporation's leasing line of business, Irwin Business Finance (www.irwinBF.com), incurred a pre-tax loss of $0.6 million during the third quarter. This loss was in line with management's expectations reflecting the start-up phase of the company's development. As previously reported, the company completed its acquisition of a 78% ownership position in Onset Capital Corporation, a Canadian small-ticket equipment leasing company. The leasing line of business originated $27.8 million in leases in the quarter and had a portfolio at quarter-end of $128.2 million, including $60.8 million acquired as part of the Onset acquisition.

Irwin Ventures (www.irwinventures.com), the Corporation's venture capital subsidiary, lost $0.2 million in the second quarter, reflecting operating expenses. There were no valuation adjustments in the company's investment portfolio during the quarter. The company's investment portfolio has a $12.9 million carrying value and a $4.1 million cost basis.

Balance Sheet

The Corporation's assets totaled $2.2 billion as of September 30, 2000, a $0.5 billion increase from a year earlier, principally reflecting a 67.0% increase in portfolio commercial loans and leases.

Nonperforming assets (including other real estate owned of $3.0 million) were $7.9 million or 0.37% of total assets as of September 30, 2000, down from $8.9 million or 0.53% of total assets a year earlier. The Corporation's allowance for loan losses totaled $12.6 million as of September 30, 2000, compared with $8.8 million a year earlier. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.13%, compared with 1.32% a year earlier reflective of the growth of the Corporation's loan and lease portfolio. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans totaled 257% at quarter-end.

The Corporation had $181.1 million in shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2000, an increase of 14.1%. Shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2000, was $8.55 per common share, a year-over-year increase of 15.2%. The Corporation's Tier 1 Leverage Ratio and Total Risk-based Capital Ratio were 12.0% and 11.1%, respectively, compared with 12.6% and 14.3% a year earlier.

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions.

Words such as "believes" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to projections of business strategies and future activities. Actual future results may differ materially from what is projected due to a variety of factors including potential changes in interest rates, which may affect consumer demand for loans and lines of credit; refinancing opportunities, which may affect the prepayment assumptions used in the Corporation's valuation estimates; competition from other financial service providers for experienced managers as well as for customers; changes in the proposed regulatory treatment of purchased residual interests, unanticipated difficulties in expanding the Corporation's businesses, availability of appropriate investment opportunities, legislative or regulatory changes, or governmental changes in monetary or fiscal policies.
