Downey Announces Record Quarterly Earnings

    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Downey Financial
Corp. (NYSE: DSL) reported that net income for the second quarter of 2005
totaled a record $64.1 million or $2.29 per share on a diluted basis, up from
$27.8 million or $0.99 per share in the year-ago second quarter.
    The increase in net income between second quarters reflected:

    --  A $33.2 million increase in net gains on sales of loans and mortgage-
        backed securities due to a higher volume and gain per dollar of loan
        sold;
    --  A $21.3 million favorable change associated with securities
        gains/losses, as the year-ago quarter included a loss associated with
        a partial economic hedge against value changes in mortgage servicing
        rights;
    --  A $17.4 million or 22.6% increase in net interest income reflecting a
        higher level of interest-earning assets; and
    --  A $11.2 million increase in loan and deposit related fees primarily
        reflecting higher loan prepayment fees.

Those favorable items were partially offset by:

    --  A $16.3 million unfavorable change in loan servicing activities, as
        the year-ago quarter included a $14.3 million recapture from the
        valuation allowance for mortgage servicing rights compared to a
        $2.6 million provision in the current quarter; and
    --  A $5.3 million decline in income from real estate held for investment
        due primarily to lower gains from sales.

    For the first six months of 2005, net income totaled $115.8 million or
$4.15 per share on a diluted basis, more than triple the $36.7 million or
$1.31 for the first six months of 2004.
    Daniel D. Rosenthal, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We
are very pleased with our results so far this year.  Our earnings, compared to
a year ago, continue to benefit from strong secondary marketing activities,
growth in net interest income and improved operating efficiency.  Our improved
gains on sales of loans reflected a strong appetite in the secondary markets
for adjustable rate mortgages, which we sold at healthy spreads."

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Net interest income totaled $94.0 million in the second quarter of 2005,
up $17.4 million or 22.6% from a year ago.  The increase primarily reflected
an increase of 27.6% in average interest-earning assets to $16.540 billion in
the current quarter.  The effective interest rate spread averaged 2.27% in the
current quarter, down from 2.36% a year ago and 2.38% in the first quarter of
2005.  The decline in the effective interest rate spread was due to a higher
level of deferred loan origination costs being written-off in the current
quarter related to loan repayments.  Those write-offs were, in part, offset by
higher loan prepayment fees recognized in other income.
    For the first six months of 2005, net interest income totaled
$188.1 million, up $42.1 million from a year ago.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

    During the current quarter, provision for loan losses totaled
$0.6 million, down $0.9 million from the year-ago second quarter.  At quarter
end, the allowance for loan losses was $36 million, compared to $35 million at
year-end 2004 and $33 million at June 30, 2004.  Net charge-offs totaled
$0.9 million in the current quarter, compared to $0.1 million a year ago.
    For the first six months of 2005, provision for loan losses totaled
$2.6 million and net charge-offs were $1.0 million.  That compares to a
$3.3 million provision for loan losses and net charge-offs of $0.1 million in
the year-ago period.

OTHER INCOME

    Other income totaled $75.8 million in the second quarter of 2005, up
$45.6 million from a year ago.  Contributing to the increase between second
quarters was:

    --  A $33.2 million increase in net gains from sales of loans and
        mortgage-backed securities.  Net gains in the current quarter totaled
        $48.8 million, including a $1.3 million gain due to the SFAS 133
        impact of valuing derivatives associated with the sale of loans.
        Excluding the impact of SFAS 133, a gain equal to 1.54% on secondary
        market sales of $3.093 billion was realized, compared to the year-ago
        gain of 1.08% on secondary market sales of $1.139 billion.
    --  A $21.3 million favorable change in securities gains/losses, as the
        year-ago quarter included losses from the sale of investment
        securities that were acquired as a partial economic hedge against the
        value of mortgage servicing rights.
    --  A $11.2 million increase in loan and deposit related fees due
        primarily to an increase of $10.7 million in loan prepayment fees.
        Deposit related fees were up $0.7 million or 10.2%.

Those favorable items were partially offset by:

    --  A $16.3 million unfavorable change in loan servicing activities.  A
        loss of $2.5 million was recognized in the current quarter, compared
        to income of $13.8 million a year ago.  The current quarter result
        included a $2.6 million provision to the valuation allowance for
        mortgage servicing rights, whereas the year-ago quarter included a
        recapture of $14.3 million.  At June 30, 2005, mortgage servicing
        rights, net of a $4 million valuation allowance, totaled $17 million
        or 0.75% of the $2.249 billion of associated loans serviced for others
        (this excludes the $8.014 billion of loans sub-serviced for others on
        a fixed fee basis per loan).
    --  A $5.3 million decline in income from real estate held for investment
        due primarily to lower gains from sales.  The current quarter included
        gains of $1.1 million, compared to $6.2 million a year ago.

    For the first six months of 2005, other income totaled $131.5 million, up
$98.4 million from the same period a year ago.

OPERATING EXPENSE

    Operating expense totaled $58.3 million in the current quarter, up
$1.0 million from a year ago due to a 1.5% increase in general and
administrative expense.  The increase was primarily in salaries and related
costs, up $1.5 million or 3.9%.
    For the first six months of 2005, operating expense totaled
$116.5 million, up $4.3 million from the same period a year ago.

ASSETS, LOAN ORIGINATIONS AND DEPOSITS

    At June 30, 2005, assets totaled $16.612 billion, up 16.8% from a year ago
and up $963 million or 6.2% from year-end 2004.  During the current quarter,
assets declined $281 million due primarily to a $341 million decline in loans
held for sale.
    Loan originations (including purchases) totaled $4.133 billion in the
current quarter, up 6.8% from $3.869 billion a year ago.  Loans originated for
sale increased $1.487 billion to $2.766 billion, while single family loans
originated for portfolio declined by $1.117 billion to $1.272 billion.  Of the
current quarter total originated for portfolio, $133 million represented
subprime credits.  At quarter end, the subprime portfolio totaled
$1.3 billion, with an average loan-to-value ratio at origination of 71% and,
of the total, 96% represented "Alt. A and A-" credits.  In addition to single
family loans, $94 million of other loans were originated in the current
quarter.
    Deposits totaled $11.042 billion at quarter end, up 23.4% from the
year-ago level and $1.384 billion or 14.3% since the end of 2004.  During the
quarter, three new traditional branches were opened.  This brings the total
number of branches to 172 (168 in California and four in Arizona).  At quarter
end, the average deposit size of our 80 traditional branches was $110 million,
while the average deposit size of our 92 in-store branches was $24 million.
Since the end of 2004, borrowings have declined by $557 million, as deposit
growth exceeded the growth in assets.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

    Non-performing assets declined $4 million during the quarter to
$25 million or 0.15% of total assets, compared to 0.22% at year-end 2004.

REGULATORY CAPITAL RATIOS

    At June 30, 2005, Downey Financial Corp.'s primary subsidiary, Downey
Savings and Loan Association, F.A., had core and tangible capital ratios of
7.31% and a risk-based capital ratio of 14.11%.  These capital levels were

    (a)  Yields for securities available for sale are calculated using
         historical cost balances and do not give effect to changes in
         fair value that are reflected as a component of stockholders'
         equity.
    (b)  Included amounts swept into money market deposit accounts.
    (c)  Starting in the first quarter of 2004, the impact of swap
         contracts was included, with notional amounts totaling
         $430 million of receive-fixed, pay-3-month LIBOR variable
         interest, which contracts serve as a permitted hedge against a
         portion of our FHLB advances.
    (d)  In June 2004, we issued $200 million of 6.5% 10-year senior
         notes.  In July 2004, we redeemed our junior subordinated
         debentures before their maturity.
