  Omega Financial Corporation Fourth Quarter Earnings Up 7.3%

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ¾ January 25, 2008 ¾

STATE COLLEGE, PA – Net income for Omega Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:OMEF) rose by 7.3% to $4.705 million, or $.37 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $4.386 million, or $.35 per diluted share, during the same period in 2006. Net income for calendar year 2007, was $21.097 million, representing a 3.3% increase over 2006 earnings of $20.431 million.

Donita R. Koval, Omega’s president and chief executive officer, noted that both the fourth quarter and calendar year 2007 results reflected the Corporations ongoing efforts in managing the net interest margin, growing service revenues and wealth management income and controlling non-interest expenses.

Koval stated the company’s net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2007 increased 7 basis points to 4.21% from the fourth quarter of 2006 of 4.14% on a fully tax-equivalent basis. The company’s Return on Average Assets increased 11.2%, to 1.06%, and Return on Average Equity increased 4.6% to 5.61%, when compared to the same period in 2006.

For the year, Omega’s net interest margin rose 12 basis points to 4.19% from 4.07% in 2006. The company’s Return on Average Assets was 1.17% and Return on Average Equity 6.36%, representing an increase of 8.8% and .7%, respectively.

The net interest margin grew despite decreases in net interest income of $.2 million for the quarter and $1.2 million for the year. Koval noted that 2006 net interest income included $1.0 million attributable to three branches sold in the final quarter of 2006.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, Omega reported a provision for loan losses of $.6 million compared to $2.8 million during the same period in 2006. The year to date provision for loan loss in 2007 totals $2.2 million compared to $3.9 million in 2006. The higher level of loan loss provision in 2006 related primarily to specific provisions recorded for two large commercial borrowers. In the fourth quarter of 2006, one of the borrower’s loans was sold, while in May 2007, the other borrower emerged from bankruptcy reorganization and as a result $4.4 million of this borrowers loans were charged off in the second quarter of 2007. As of December 31, 2007, total loans outstanding to this borrower totaled $14.9 million, with a specific allocation of the loan loss allowance totaling $1.8 million, which management deems to be adequate. This compares to total loans outstanding to this borrower of $16.8 million with a specific allocation of loan loss allowance of $5.3 million as of December 31, 2006. Although the borrower is current with all payments, these loans remain on non-accrual status until the new entity demonstrates consistent positive operating cash flow.

Other income for the fourth quarter of 2007, excluding gains on the sale of investment securities and other assets, increased $.2 million or 2.53% as compared to the same period last year. Year to date non-interest income, excluding gains on the sale of investments and other assets, increased $1.3 million or 4.95% to $27.411 million due primarily to increases in deposit and loan fees as well as growth in wealth management fees. The three branch locations sold in 2006 contributed $.2 million of non-interest income in 2006.

Other expense increased in the fourth quarter of 2007 by $.1 million or .81%, and decreased $1.5 million or 2.54% for the year of 2007. Included in other expense for both the fourth quarter and year of 2007 is $.8 million in expenses related to the announced merger with F.N.B. Corporation. These expenses were offset by decreases in other areas such as renegotiations on key operating contracts and restructuring of certain business lines, including the formation of a mortgage joint venture. The three branch locations sold in the fourth quarter of 2006 contributed $.7 million of non-interest expense in 2006.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE:FNB) pursuant to which F.N.B. Corporation will acquire Omega. The combination of the two organizations will create the fifth largest bank holding company based in Pennsylvania with approximately $8 billion in total assets and over 210 full service branches serving commercial and consumer customers in 35 counties in Pennsylvania and Northeast Ohio.
