FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Washington Trust Reports Significant Increase in First Quarter 2010 Earnings
 
Westerly, Rhode Island…Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select; symbol: WASH), parent company of The Washington Trust Company, today announced first quarter 2010 net income of $5.2 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, compared to first quarter 2009 net income of $2.7 million, or 17 cents per diluted share.  Included in first quarter 2009 earnings were impairment losses on investment securities totaling $2.0 million ($1.3 million after tax; 8 cents per diluted share.)

Selected first quarter 2010 developments:
·  
Net interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 6%, from the fourth quarter of 2009 and by $2.0 million, or 13%, from the first quarter of 2009, reflecting improvement in the net interest margin.
·  
Wealth management revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were $893 thousand, or 16%, higher than first quarter 2009.  Assets under administration increased by 3% in the quarter and by 32% in the last twelve months.
·  
Loan growth was modest at $18 million, or 1%, in the first quarter of 2010, with commercial loan growth of $14 million.  In the last twelve months, commercial loans have grown by $90 million, or 10%.  This was offset in part by a $28 million decline in residential mortgage balances in the last twelve months, reflecting continued weakness in the economy and housing markets.
·  
Total in-market deposits grew by $43 million, or 2%, in the first quarter of 2010, due largely to increases in time deposits.  In-market deposits have increased by $151 million, or 9% from March 31, 2009.
·  
Nonperforming assets amounted to $27.5 million, or 0.95% of total assets, at March 31, 2010 down from $30.5 million, or 1.06% of total assets, at December 31, 2009.  Total loans 30 days or more past due stood at $30.1 million at March 31, 2010, down by $1.5 million in the first quarter.
 
John C. Warren, Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc.’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated “We are pleased with our first quarter results, however we remain cautious about what lies ahead in 2010.”

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2010 increased by $1.1 million, or 6%, from the fourth quarter of 2009 and $2.0 million, or 13%, from the first quarter last year.  The net interest margin (annualized tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets) for the first quarter of 2010 was 2.78%, up by 22 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2009 and by 39 basis points from the first quarter of 2009.  These results are due in large part to lower funding costs, as indicated by a 66 basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from the first quarter of 2009.  First quarter of 2010 net interest income was also favorably impacted by loan prepayment penalty and other fee income of $377 thousand (5 basis points of net interest margin) compared to $65 thousand (1 basis point of net interest margin) in the first quarter of 2009.

Noninterest Income
Wealth management revenues for the first quarter of 2010 increased by $893 thousand, or 16%, from the first quarter last year.  Assets under administration totaled $3.9 billion at March 31, 2010, up by $131 million, or 3%, from December 31, 2009.  The first quarter 2010 increase in assets under administration reflected net market value appreciation and income of $96 million and net client cash flows of $35 million.  Wealth management related fees from sources that are not primarily derived from the value of assets under administration, including financial planning fees, commissions and other services, declined by $161 thousand, or 47%, from the fourth quarter 2009 due largely to lower commissions earned on annuity and insurance contracts.

Net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others for the first quarter of 2010 totaled $560 thousand, compared to $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2009.  The decline in this revenue source was due to lower levels of residential mortgage refinancing and sales activity, which is sensitive to interest rates and the condition of housing markets.

Other-than-temporary impairment losses on investment securities amounted to $63 thousand in the first quarter of 2010, $679 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2010 increased by $1.2 million, or 7%, from the first quarter of 2009.  Salaries and employee benefits costs, the largest component of noninterest expenses, increased by $1.0 million, or 10%, compared to the first quarter of 2009, including the impact of higher staffing levels

related to a new branch opened in the fourth quarter of 2009 as well as selected staffing additions in the commercial lending and wealth management areas.

Income tax expense amounted to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 and $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2009.  The Corporation’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was 29.1%, as compared to 28.7% for the fourth of 2009 and 29.3% for the first quarter of last year.

Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans, nonaccrual investment securities and property acquired through foreclosure) amounted to $27.5 million, or 0.95% of total assets, at March 31, 2010, compared to $30.5 million, or 1.06% of total assets, at December 31, 2009.  Nonaccrual loans totaled $24.4 million at March 31, 2010, down by $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2010, reflecting a net decrease of $3.5 million in nonaccrual commercial loans and a net increase of $357 thousand in nonaccrual residential mortgages.  Property acquired through foreclosure or repossession amounted to $2.0 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

At March 31, 2010, total loans 30 days or more past due amounted to $30.1 million, or 1.55% of total loans, down by $1.5 million from December 31, 2009 and up by $8.0 million from March 31, 2009.  Commercial loan delinquencies amounted to $19.1 million, or 1.91% of total commercial loans, at March 31, 2010, down by $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2010.  Total residential mortgage and consumer loan delinquencies amounted to $11.0 million, or 1.17% of these loans, at March 31, 2010, up by $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2010.

The decline in nonaccrual loans and delinquencies during the first quarter is partly due to the resolution of a commercial real estate relationship with a carrying value of $2.2 million at December 31, 2009.  During the first quarter, this credit was settled with a payment of $2.0 million and a charge-off of the remaining balance.

Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings increased from $10.3 million at December 31, 2009 to $12.2 million at March 31, 2010 as a result of additional restructuring events involving commercial and residential borrowers.  The March 31, 2010 balance includes $11.1 million in accruing status based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of the loan and the borrower’s ability to meet the restructured terms.

The loan loss provision charged to earnings amounted to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 and $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2009.  Net charge-offs amounted to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2010.  This compares to net charge-offs of $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $927 thousand in the first quarter of 2009.

Overall credit quality continues to be affected by weaknesses in national and regional economic conditions.  These conditions, including high unemployment levels, may continue for the next few quarters.  Rhode Island’s economy may also be adversely affected by recent weather-related flooding events.  Management will continue to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in accordance with its established policies.  The allowance for loan losses was $27.7 million, or 1.43% of total loans, at March 31, 2010, compared to $27.4 million, or 1.43% of total loans, at December 31, 2009.

Loans
Total loans grew by $18 million in the first quarter of 2010, with the largest increase in commercial loans. Commercial loans increased by $14 million in the first quarter.  The residential mortgage portfolio grew by $3 million in the first quarter 2010, while consumer loan balances remained essentially flat.  Total loans grew by $72 million, or 4%, from the balance at March 31, 2009, with growth of $90 million in commercial loans and $9 million in consumer loans offset in part by a $28 million decline in residential mortgage loans.

Investment Securities
The investment securities portfolio amounted to $717 million at March 31, 2010, up by $25 million in the first quarter of 2010, largely due to purchases of debt securities.  The investment securities portfolio decreased by $117 million from the balance at March 31, 2009 primarily due to management’s strategy to not reinvest the proceeds from maturities and pay-downs on mortgage-backed securities.  The largest component of the investment securities portfolio is mortgage-backed securities, all of which are issued by U.S. Government agencies or U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises.  At March 31, 2010, the net unrealized gain position on the investment securities portfolio was $16.9 million, including gross unrealized losses of $12.9 million.  Approximately 94% of the gross unrealized losses on the investment securities portfolio were concentrated in variable rate trust preferred securities issued by financial services companies.  During the first quarter of 2010, credit-related impairment losses of $63 thousand were charged to earnings on a pooled trust preferred debt security deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

(b) 
Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”).
(c) 
Consists of various series of trust preferred securities issued by seven corporate financial institutions.
(d) 
 This investment security is not rated by S&P.  As of March 31, 2010, 16 of the 38 pooled institutions have invoked their original contractual right to defer interest payments.  This investment security was placed on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2009.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, an adverse change occurred in the expected cash flows for this instrument indicating that, based on cash flow forecasts with regard to timing of deferrals and potential future recovery of deferred payments, default rates, and other matters, the Corporation will not receive all contractual amounts due under the instrument and will not recover the entire cost basis of the security.  The Corporation had concluded that these conditions warranted a conclusion of other-than-temporary impairment for this holding as of March 31, 2009 and recognized credit-related impairment losses of $1.4 million in earnings in the first quarter of 2009.
(e) 
This investment security is not rated by S&P. As of March 31, 2010, 20 of the 73 pooled institutions have invoked their original contractual right to defer interest payments.  In the fourth quarter of 2008, the tranche held by Washington Trust began deferring interest payments until future periods.  This investment security was placed on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2008.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, an adverse change occurred in the expected cash flows for this instrument indicating that, based on cash flow forecasts with regard to timing of deferrals and potential future recovery of deferred payments, default rates, and other matters, Washington Trust will not receive all contractual amounts due under the instrument and will not recover the entire cost basis of the security.  The Corporation had concluded that these conditions warrant a conclusion of other-than-temporary impairment for this holding as of September 30, 2009 and recognized credit-related impairment losses of $467 thousand in earnings in the third quarter of 2009.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Corporation recognized additional credit-related impairment losses on this security of $679 thousand.  The analysis of the expected cash flows for this security as of March 31, 2010 resulted in an additional credit-related impairment loss of $63 thousand being recognized in earnings in the first quarter of 2010.

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.
