Irwin Financial Corporation Announces First Quarter Earnings(1)

     *  Net Income of $0.67 per Diluted Share, Year-Over-Year Increase of 63
        Percent;
     *  ROAE of 18.4 Percent and ROAA of 1.7 Percent;
     *  Credit Quality Improving-Non-performing Assets Decline 15 Percent;
     *  Total Risk-based Capital of 15.3 Percent

    COLUMBUS, Ind., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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 2004 of $20.3 million or $0.67 per diluted share.  This
compares with net income of $11.8 million or $0.41 per diluted share during
the same period in 2003.  The increase largely reflects the improvement in
credit quality in the home equity segment, which swung from a loss of $9.5
million a year earlier to a profit in the first quarter of $6.6 million.
Declines in production in the first mortgage unit were partially offset by an
increase in the net of mortgage servicing valuation changes and gains on
derivatives used to hedge this exposure.  Consolidated annualized returns on
average equity and average assets were 18.4 percent and 1.7 percent,
respectively.
    "As we anticipated in our outlook for 2004, we have begun to benefit from
both lower credit costs as the economy continues to recover and from the
investment we made during 2001 through 2003 in our mortgage servicing
portfolio," said Will Miller, Chairman and CEO.  "Our strategy is to balance
the impact of changes in interest rates and economic conditions on our
mortgage banking production with investments in our credit portfolio lines of
business and in mortgage servicing.  Although we caution that our balanced
revenue model is best judged over longer periods such as a year or more, it
once again created good results in spite of a turbulent interest rate
environment in the first quarter.  And, while the interest rate environment
has made it difficult to determine the appropriate level of staffing in our
mortgage business, we think we have made progress in adjusting from the
refinance boom of 2001-2003.  We believe that mortgage originations over the
next 180 days are unlikely to reach the unprecedented levels achieved in the
same period in 2003.  However, as happened in the first quarter, we also
believe our credit portfolios and the significant investment we made in the
servicing asset over the past few years have us well-positioned to
counterbalance the year-over-year decline in anticipated mortgage production.
We continue to expect 2004 earnings to exceed those of 2003."

    Financial highlights for the period include:

    As noted in the table above, net revenues increased 7 percent on a
sequential quarter basis.  Net revenues increased in each of our credit
portfolio lines of business, successfully offsetting a decline in net revenue
in our mortgage bank.  Mortgage banking revenues declined on a sequential
quarter basis principally due to reduced recovery, net of derivative gains, in
the impairment valuation reserve of our servicing asset and lower net interest
income while loans were in warehouse.
    Our loan and lease portfolio totaled $3.2 billion as of March 31, 2004, up
2 percent from the end of the year and 8 percent from a year earlier.  Our
mortgage loans held for sale totaled $1.0 billion at quarter end, up modestly
from $0.9 billion at year-end.
    Deposits totaled $3.3 billion at March 31, a $0.4 billion or 14 percent
increase since year-end, principally reflecting increases in mortgage escrow
deposits.  Average core deposits rose at an annualized rate of 11 percent
during the first quarter.
    We had $453 million or $16.04 per share in common shareholders' equity as
of March 31, 2004.  At quarter end, our Tier 1 Leverage Ratio and Total Risk-
based Capital Ratio were 11.8 percent and 15.3 percent, respectively, compared
to 11.2 percent and 15.1 percent as of December 31, 2003.
    Our consolidated loan and lease loss provision totaled $8 million, a $2
million or 18 percent decrease compared with the fourth quarter of 2003,
principally reflecting declines in required provision for our on-balance sheet
home equity loan and commercial lending portfolios.
    Nonperforming assets (including other real estate owned of $6 million)
were $45 million or 0.87 percent of total assets as of March 31, 2004, down
from $52 million or 1.05 percent of total assets at the end of the year.  Our
on-balance sheet allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $64 million as of
March 31, unchanged from year-end.  The ratio of on-balance sheet allowance
for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and leases totaled 176
percent at March 31, compared to 145 percent at December 31.
    Net charge-offs totaled $8 million, down $2 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 loans and lease losses
to total loans and leases for our principal credit-related portfolios are

     *  Mortgage banking net income declined modestly compared with the fourth
        quarter.  Loan originations totaled $2.9 billion, unchanged from the
        previous quarter.  During the quarter, we recorded $10 million of
        revenues on gains on servicing asset-related derivatives, net of
        impairment of the servicing asset.  In addition, we also recorded
        $6 million of gain on sale of servicing.  Our mortgage servicing asset
        in this line of business had a carrying value of $298 million at
        March 31 or 101 basis points of underlying loan balance, compared with
        117 basis points at year-end.
     *  Commercial banking net revenues increased 3 percent sequentially from
        the fourth quarter, reflecting modest loan and revenue growth and a
        $0.3 million decline in provision for loan and lease loss, reflecting
        an improving credit picture.  As noted in the table above, thirty-day
        and greater delinquencies in our commercial banking line of business
        portfolio totaled 0.29 percent at March 31, compared with 0.36 percent
        at December 31 and nonperforming assets declined to $21.7 million at
        quarter-end, compared to $26.6 million at year-end.
     *  Our home equity line of business continues to see improving credit
        quality.  Thirty-day and greater delinquencies in our on-balance sheet
        portfolio totaled 2.46 percent at March 31, compared with 2.91 percent
        at December 31, and the thirty-day delinquency ratio on the off-
        balance sheet portfolio declined to 8.65 percent as compared to 10.18
        percent at December 31.  This improvement in credit quality led to a
        reversal of $4.6 million of impairment for our $69 million residual
        interest portfolio.
     *  Our commercial finance line of business had strong operating results
        with pre-tax income of $1.9 million (compared to a pre-tax loss of
        $0.6 million a year earlier), loan and lease fundings of $72 million,
        and a thirty-day and greater delinquency ratio of 0.86 percent.  Net
        income was negatively affected, however, by a one-time tax provision
        to reflect tax liabilities acquired, but not recorded on the books of
        the company at the time of our purchase of our Canadian operations
        from a now bankrupt seller.  We believe the line of business tax
        provision will approximate 45 percent for the remainder of the year.

    As noted above, more complete details on operations of each of our lines
of business can be found in our Form 10-Q, which was filed today with the SEC.

    We undertake no obligation to update publicly any of these statements in
light of future events, except as required in subsequent periodic reports we

    Actual future results may differ materially from what is projected due to
a variety of factors including:  potential changes in and volatility of
interest rates, which may affect consumer demand for our products and the
success of our interest rate risk management strategies; staffing fluctuations
in response to product demand; the relative profitability of our lending
operations; the valuation and management of our servicing and derivatives
portfolios, including short-term swings in valuation of such portfolios due to
quarter-end movements in secondary market interest rates which are inherently
volatile; refinancing opportunities, which may affect the prepayment
assumptions used in our valuation estimates and which may affect loan demand;
unanticipated deterioration in the credit quality of our loan assets;
unanticipated deterioration in or changes in estimates of  the carrying value
of our other assets; difficulties in delivering loans to the secondary market
as planned; difficulties in expanding our business or raising capital and
other funding sources as needed; competition from other financial service
providers for experienced managers as well as for customers; changes in the
value of companies in which we invest; changes in variable compensation plans
related to the performance and valuation of lines of business where we have
compensation systems tied to line of business performance; estimates of future
tax liabilities; legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in the

resources to address these rules; changes in applicable accounting policies or
principles or their application to our businesses; or governmental changes in
monetary or fiscal policies.

     (1)  In light of accelerated filing deadlines for Quarterly Reports on
          Form 10-Q required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act beginning this year,
          the contents of this earnings press release will be condensed as
          compared to those previously issued by the Corporation.  The
          Corporation's Form 10-Q will be filed on a concurrent basis with the
          release of this earnings announcement.  Readers are encouraged to
          consult the Form 10-Q for additional information on first quarter
          performance as it will contain detailed operating and financial
          performance information for the reporting period.

     (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.
