STANDARD FINANCIAL CORP. ANNOUNCES

A QUARTERLY DIVIDEND PAYMENT AND FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

Monroeville, Pennsylvania – January 19, 2012 – Standard Financial Corp. (the “Company”) - (NasdaqCM: STND), the holding company for Standard Bank PaSB, today announced first quarter earnings of $831,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 2011 compared to $18,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 2010. The $813,000 increase in net income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a one-time $908,000 after tax expense for a contribution to Standard Charitable Foundation in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Annualized return on average assets and average equity were 0.76% and 4.25%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to 0.02% and 0.10%, respectively, (0.85% and 4.94%, respectively, excluding the one-time charitable foundation contribution) for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

The Company’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.045 per share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be payable to stockholders of record as of February 2, 2012 and will be paid on February 15, 2012.

Timothy K. Zimmerman, President & CEO, stated, “We are pleased to report a solid quarter of earnings. We continue to be challenged by a difficult economic environment and historical low interest rates. Our focus remains on managing the interest rate margin and asset quality.”

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 of $3.3 million was unchanged from the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The provision for loan losses was $300,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to $350,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Non-performing loans at December 31, 2011 were $3.8 million or 1.30% of total loans compared to $4.6 million or 1.60% of total loans at September 30, 2011 and $4.0 million or 1.35% of total loans at December 31, 2010.

Total non-interest expenses were $2.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The $103,000 or 4.5% increase was due mainly to general cost increases in personnel related and other operating expenses.
