Burlington, MA July 20, 2011 MicroFinancial Incorporated (NASDAQ: MFI), a financial
intermediary specializing in vendor-based leasing and finance programs for microticket
transactions, today announced financial results for the second quarter and the six months ended
June 30, 2011.

| Cash received from customers was $26.7 million or $1.84 per diluted share which represents an increase of 15.6% as compared to the same period last year; | ||
| Revenue increased by 6.7% to $13.5 million as compared to the same period last year; | ||
| Leverage continues to be conservative at 1.04 times total liabilities to stockholders equity; | ||
| The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.05 per share; and | ||
| Net charge-offs declined by 28.3% to $4.3 million as compared to the same period last year. |
Second Quarter Results:
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $2.3 million or $0.16 per diluted share based
upon 14,503,702 shares, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share based
upon 14,452,575 shares for the same period last year.
Revenue for the second quarter increased 6.7% to $13.5 million compared to $12.6 million for the
same period in 2010, driven by growth in lease revenue and rental income during the quarter.
Revenue from leases was $9.1 million, up $0.6 million from the same period last year and rental
income was $2.1 million, up $0.2 million as compared to the second quarter in 2010. Other revenue
components contributed $2.3 million for the current quarter, up $0.1 million from the same period
last year.
Total operating expenses for the current quarter decreased 7.2% to $9.8 million from $10.5 million
in the second quarter of 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million
to $4.0 million from $3.6 million as compared to the second quarter of last year primarily due to
increases in compensation related expenses as a result of an increase in
employee headcount as well
as increased rent expense associated with the opening of our California office location. Headcount
at June 30, 2011 was 129 as compared to 113 at the same date last year. The second quarter 2011
provision for credit losses decreased to $4.3 million from $5.6 million for the same period in 2010
due to improved delinquency trends and lower charge-off levels. During the second quarter, net
charge-offs decreased to $4.3 million from $5.9 million in the same period in 2010. Depreciation
and amortization expense increased to $0.8 million for the quarter due to an increase in the number
of rental contracts currently being depreciated.
Cash balances at June 30, 2011 were $1.4 million. Cash received from customers in the second
quarter increased 15.6% to $26.7 million compared to $23.1 million during the same period in 2010.
New lease originations in the quarter decreased by $2.2 million to $18.7 million as compared to the
same period last year.
Richard Latour, President and Chief Executive Officer said, Although we continue to see a sluggish
economy in the microticket market, especially with new business creation, we are very pleased with
the continued improvement in our financial performance in the second quarter of 2011. We realized
solid earnings for the quarter of approximately $2.3 million and recognized our 18th
consecutive quarterly increase in cash received from customers. During the second quarter, the
Company significantly improved its service offerings with the opening of our full service west
coast operations center in Westlake Village, California. In addition, we realized continued
improvement in our portfolio quality through reductions in delinquency levels and net charge-offs.
Year to Date Results:
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net income increased by 131.0% to $4.3 million versus net
income of $1.9 million for the same period last year. Net income per diluted share year to date
