1 PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT Date: January 23, 2008 Contact: C. Keith Swaney (440) 248-7171 PVF Capital Corp. announces quarterly earnings and cash dividend. PVF Capital Corp., the parent company of Park View Federal Savings Bank, announced earnings of $732,000, or $0.09 basic earnings per share and $0.09 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 as compared to earnings of $1,137,000, or $0.15 basic earnings per share and $0.15 diluted earnings per share, for the prior year comparable period. Earnings were $1,343,000, or $0.17 basic earnings per share and $0.17 diluted earnings per share, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $2,700,000, or $0.35 basic earnings per share and $0.35 diluted earnings per share, for the prior year comparable period. Chairman John R. Male commented that the changes to earnings for the current three- and six-month periods were primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income that resulted from an increase in nonperforming loans along with an increase in the Company's cost of funds. In addition, there was a significant increase in the provision for loan losses in the current six-month period. Lastly, non-interest income for the current three- and six-month periods declined primarily because a gain on the disposition of real estate was reported in the prior year that did not reoccur in the current year. These declines were partially offset by a decline in non-interest expense that resulted from a decrease in compensation and benefits in the current periods. As of December 31, 2007, PVF Capital Corp. reported assets of $875.6 million, a decrease of $25.3 million or 2.8% from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Total stockholders' equity of PVF Capital Corp. was $72.0 million at December 31, 2007. Annualized return on assets and return on equity were 0.30% and 3.74%, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2007. On December 18, 2007, the Board of Directors of PVF Capital Corp. declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company's outstanding common stock. The cash dividend will be in the amount of $0.074 per share payable on February 15, 2008 to the stockholders of record at the close of business on February 8, 2008. We invite all shareholders to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of PVF Capital Corp. on Tuesday February 5, 2008 at 10:00 a.m., at the Cleveland Marriott East, 26300 Harvard Road, Beachwood, Ohio.
