Washington Trust Announces Solid Net Income for Third Quarter 2011

Diluted Earnings Per Share up 18% over Third Quarter 2010

WESTERLY, R.I.--()--Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select; symbol: WASH), parent company of The Washington Trust Company, today announced third quarter 2011 net income of $7.6 million, or 46 cents per diluted share, compared to third quarter 2010 net income of $6.4 million, or 39 cents per diluted share. Third quarter 2011 results represent an 18% increase on a diluted per share basis over the third quarter of 2010 and were consistent with second quarter 2011 quarter results. The returns on average equity and average assets for the third quarter of 2011 were 10.67% and 1.03%, respectively, compared to 9.53% and 0.87%, respectively, for the same period in 2010.

“Washington Trust had a good third quarter performance, highlighted by net margin improvement, core deposit growth and strong mortgage banking production,” stated Joseph J. MarcAurele, Washington Trust Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “Our expansion plans continued during the quarter with the opening of a new branch on Taunton Avenue in East Providence, Rhode Island. I’m also pleased to announce that we will open our third Cranston branch on Plainfield Pike in mid-2012. And, we plan to open our first mortgage production office in Connecticut later this year in Glastonbury.”

Selected financial highlights for the third quarter and year-to-date period included:

  • Year-to-date net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 is up 30% compared to the same period in 2010.
  • Net interest income for the third quarter of 2011 totaled $21.5 million, up by 2% from the prior quarter and up by 7% from the third quarter of 2010.
  • Mortgage banking revenues doubled from the second quarter of 2011 and the origination pipeline is strong heading into the fourth quarter.
  • Wealth management revenues declined 10% on a linked quarter basis largely due to unfavorable conditions in the financial markets during the third quarter. Wealth management revenues were 5% higher than the third quarter of 2010.
  • Based on our analysis of trends in asset quality and credit quality indicators, the loan loss provision charged to earnings in the third quarter of 2011 was $1.0 million, down by $200 thousand on a linked quarter basis and down by $500 thousand from the third quarter 2010.
  • Total loans amounted to $2.1 billion at September 30, 2011, up by $31 million, or 1%, in the third quarter and up by $92 million, or 5%, in the first nine months of 2011.
  • Deposits grew by $90 million, or 5%, in the third quarter and totaled $2.1 billion at September 30, 2011. Total deposits were up by $50 million, or 2%, in the first nine months of 2011.
  • Nonperforming assets amounted to $24.6 million, or 0.83% of total assets, at September 30, 2011, up modestly from $24.1 million, or 0.82% of total assets, at June 30, 2011. Total past due loans declined by $2.6 million in the third quarter to $22.0 million, or 1.05% of total loans, at September 30, 2011.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $21.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 increased by 2% from the second quarter of 2011 and by 7% from the third quarter a year ago due to the continued reduction in cost of funds, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") advances and time deposits. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 3.22%, compared to 3.21% for the second quarter of 2011 and 3.01% for the third quarter of 2010.

Capitalizing on the recent downward movement in interest rates, we completed a restructuring of FHLBB advances early in September. Advances totaling $94.0 million with a weighted average cost of 4.18% were restructured into longer terms with a weighted average cost of 3.05%.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $13.0 million for the third quarter of 2011, down by $329 thousand, or 2%, on a linked quarter basis and down by $483 thousand, or 4%, from the third quarter of 2010.

Third quarter 2011 noninterest income included other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses on investment securities of $158 thousand. There were no OTTI losses recorded in the prior quarter or the third quarter of 2010.

There were no net realized gains on sales of securities recorded in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $226 thousand in the second quarter of 2011 and $737 thousand in the third quarter a year earlier. Second quarter 2011 noninterest income also included a $203 thousand gain recognized on the sale of a bank property, which was classified in other income.

Revenue from wealth management services is our largest source of noninterest income. It is largely dependent on the value of wealth management assets under administration and is closely tied to the performance of the financial markets. Wealth management revenues for the third quarter of 2011 decreased by $719 thousand, or 10%, on a linked quarter basis, including a $264 thousand decrease in tax preparation fees, which are typically concentrated in the second quarter. Wealth management revenues for the third quarter of 2011 increased by $306 thousand, or 5%, over the third quarter a year earlier.

Wealth management assets under administration totaled $3.7 billion at September 30, 2011, down by $420 million, from June 30, 2011, primarily due to net investment depreciation as a result of unfavorable conditions in the financial markets.

Merchant processing fees for the third quarter of 2011 increased by $541 thousand, or 20%, on a linked quarter basis and increased by $173 thousand, or 6%, compared to the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to increases in the volume of transactions processed for existing and new merchant customers. This increase in revenue was partially offset by a corresponding increase in merchant processing costs included in noninterest expenses.

Net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others for third quarter of 2011 increased by $540 thousand, or 101%, from the prior quarter and increased by $66 thousand, or 7%, from the third quarter of 2010. This revenue source is dependent on mortgage origination volume, which is sensitive to interest rates and the condition of housing markets.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses totaled $22.6 million for the third quarter of 2011. Second quarter 2011 and third quarter 2010 noninterest expenses included debt prepayment charges of $221 thousand and $752 thousand, respectively. Excluding debt prepayment charges, noninterest expenses increased by $552 thousand, or 3%, from the second quarter of 2011 and by $492 thousand, or 2%, from the same period a year earlier. The increase in noninterest expenses reflected increases in salaries and employee benefit costs and merchant processing costs, offset in part by lower foreclosed property costs and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. deposit insurance costs.

Salaries and employee benefits costs increased by $514 thousand, or 4%, on a linked quarter basis and $845 thousand, or 7%, compared to the third quarter of 2010. This increase reflected higher staffing levels in mortgage banking including a mortgage production office opened in the first quarter of 2011, other selected staffing additions and higher incentives and commissions.

Income tax expense amounted to $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2011 was 30.5%, unchanged from the prior quarter and down from the effective tax rate of 30.6% for the third quarter of 2010.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans, nonaccrual investment securities and property acquired through foreclosure or repossession) remain at manageable levels, amounting to $24.6 million, or 0.83% of total assets, at September 30, 2011, compared to $24.1 million, or 0.82% of total assets, at June 30, 2011.

At September 30, 2011, total past due loans amounted to $22.0 million, or 1.05% of total loans, down by $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. This is the second consecutive quarter of declines in total past due loans.

At September 30, 2011, loans classified as troubled debt restructurings totaled $15.6 million, down by $3.1 million from the balance at June 30, 2011, reflecting payoffs and declassification from troubled debt restructuring status.

The loan loss provision charged to earnings amounted to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2011, down by $200 thousand from the second quarter of 2011 and down by $500 thousand from the third quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs amounted to $712 thousand in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to net charge-offs of $956 thousand in the second quarter of 2011 and $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2010.

Loans

Total loans grew by $31 million, or 1%, in the third quarter of 2011, with an increase of $33 million in the residential real estate portfolio. During the first nine months of 2011, total loans were up by $92 million, or 5%, with a $44 million increase in the commercial loan portfolio, a $46 million increase in the residential real estate portfolio and a $2 million increase in consumer loans.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio amounted to $582 million at September 30, 2011, down by $10 million from the balance at June 30, 2011, primarily within mortgage-backed securities. The investment securities portfolio decreased by $13 million from the balance at December 31, 2010.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $2.1 billion at September 30, 2011, up by $90 million, or 5%, from the balance at June 30, 2011, reflecting increases in business demand deposits and money market accounts as well as increases in savings accounts. On a year-to-date basis, total deposits increased by $50 million, or 2%, reflecting increases in demand deposits and savings account balances, which were partially offset by decreases in time and money market deposit balances.

FHLBB advances totaled $494 million at September 30, 2011, down by $64 million from June 30, 2011 and $5 million from December 31, 2010.

Capital Management

Capital levels remain firmly above the regulatory minimums to be considered well capitalized, with total risk-based capital ratio of 12.99% at September 30, 2011, compared to 12.79% at December 31, 2010. Total shareholder's equity was $285.5 million at September 30, 2011, up by $16.6 million from the balance at December 31, 2010.

Expansion Plans

Washington Trust has announced plans to open its third branch in Cranston, Rhode Island, located at 2174 Plainfield Pike. The branch, which is subject to local and regulatory approval, is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2012. The Bank also plans to open its first mortgage production office in Glastonbury, Connecticut later this year.

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 22 cents per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The dividend was paid on October 14, 2011 to shareholders of record on September 30, 2011.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements”. We may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in other documents we file with the SEC, in our annual reports to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “assume”, “outlook”, “will”, “should”, and other expressions that predict or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters. You should not rely on forward-looking statements, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of Washington Trust. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Washington Trust to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Some of the factors that might cause these differences include the following, changes in general national, regional or international economic conditions or conditions affecting the banking or financial services industries or financial capital markets, volatility and disruption in national and international financial markets, government intervention in the U.S. financial system, reductions in net interest income resulting from interest rate volatility as well as changes in the balance and mix of loans and deposits, reductions in the market value of wealth management assets under administration, changes in the value of securities and other assets, reductions in loan demand, changes in loan collectibility, default and charge-off rates, changes in the size and nature of Washington Trust's competition, changes in legislation or regulation and accounting principles, policies and guidelines such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. In addition, the factors described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, may result in these differences.

Supplemental Information - Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Washington Trust's management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information, which consists of measurements and ratios based on tangible equity and tangible assets, is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company's financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

(2) Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

(3) Amounts prior to 2011 have been revised to reflect current reporting practices. The most significant change was related to a change in the nature of a client relationship, which reduced the scope and frequency of services provided by Washington Trust. This change occurred at the beginning of the third quarter of 2010. In 2011, management concluded that a declassification of these client assets from assets under administration was appropriate, based on its current reporting practices. Accordingly, the 2010 assets under administration have been reduced by $106 million, beginning in the third quarter of that year. This revision to previously reported assets under administration did not result in any change to the reported amounts of wealth management revenues.

The following tables present average balance and interest rate information. Tax-exempt income is converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis using the statutory federal income tax rate adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of the related federal tax benefit. For dividends on corporate stocks, the 70% federal dividends received deduction is also used in the calculation of tax equivalency. Unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities are excluded from the average balance and yield calculations. Nonaccrual and renegotiated loans, as well as interest earned on these loans (to the extent recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income) are included in amounts presented for loans.
