Washington Trust Reports Second Quarter 2014 Earnings


WESTERLY, R.I., July 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:WASH), parent company of The Washington Trust Company, today announced net income of $9.8 million, or 58 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014, up from first quarter of 2014 net income of $9.3 million, or 55 cents per diluted share.

"The momentum continued into the second quarter, as Washington Trust once again posted solid earnings, profitability and growth," stated Joseph J. MarcAurele, Washington Trust Chairman and CEO. We had good growth across our business lines and surpassed $5 billion in wealth management assets under administration for the first time in our 214-year history."

Selected highlights for the second quarter of 2014 included:

  • The returns on average equity and average assets were 11.52% and 1.22%, respectively. Comparable amounts for the first quarter of 2014 were 11.10% and 1.17%, respectively.
  • Loan growth was solid in the quarter, totaling $102.5 million, or 4%.
  • Residential mortgage origination volume was strong, and net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others increased by $468 thousand, or 38%, on a linked quarter basis.
  • Wealth management assets under administration rose by $204.2 million, or 4%, from the end of March.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $24.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, up from $23.8 million for the first quarter of 2014. The net interest margin was 3.35% for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 3.34% for the first quarter of 2014. Significant linked quarter changes included:

  • Average interest-earning assets increased by $36.3 million, while the yield on interest-earning assets declined by 5 basis points from the previous quarter. Average loan balances increased by $63.1 million, partially offset by declines in average investment security balances due to matured and called securities, as well as principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities.
  • Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $45.7 million, while the cost of funds declined by 8 basis points from the previous quarter. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $95.6 million, offset, in part, by a $50 million decline in average Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLBB) advances largely due to a prepayment of higher rate advances in March 2014.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $19.4 million for the first quarter of 2014. Included in noninterest income were the following:

  • A net gain of $6.3 million (after-tax $4.0 million, or 24 cents per diluted share) was recognized in the first quarter of 2014 on the sale of the Corporation's merchant processing services business line.
  • Prior to the consummation of this business line sale on March 1, 2014, merchant processing fee revenue of $1.3 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2014. See below regarding corresponding merchant processing expenses.

Excluding these items recognized in the first quarter of 2014, noninterest income increased by $1.0 million, or 8%, compared to the first quarter of 2014. Significant linked quarter changes, on this basis, included the following:

  • Wealth management revenues increased by $465 thousand, or 6%, with increases of $317 thousand in transaction-based revenues and $148 thousand in asset-based revenues. The increase in transaction-based revenues was primarily attributable to a $285 thousand increase in seasonal tax preparation fees, which are typically concentrated in the second quarter.
  • Net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others increased by $468 thousand, or 38%, reflecting higher levels of mortgage loan origination and sales activity due to a seasonal increase in home purchases, as well as lower market interest rates. Residential mortgage loans sold to the secondary market were $77.0 million in the second quarter, up from $57.0 million in the previous quarter.
  • Net gains on interest rate swap contracts decreased by $297 thousand, or 114%, due to a lower level of customer-related interest rate swap transactions in the second quarter of 2014.
  • Other income increased by $264 thousand, or 64%, and included $160 thousand of non-core income received in the second quarter of 2014.

Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses totaled $22.4 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $29.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. Included in noninterest expenses were the following:

  • Debt prepayment penalty expense of $6.3 million (after-tax $4.0 million, or 24 cents per diluted share) was recognized in the first quarter of 2014 on the prepayment of $99.3 million of FHLBB advances in March 2014.
  • Divestiture costs of $355 thousand (after-tax $227 thousand, or 1 cent per diluted share) were expensed in the first quarter of 2014, in connection with the sale of the merchant processing services business line. These costs included $291 thousand in salaries and employee benefit expenses and $64 thousand of legal expenses.
  • Merchant processing expenses of $1.1 million were recognized in the first quarter of 2014, prior to the sale of that business line on March 1, 2014. See above regarding corresponding merchant processing fee revenue.

Excluding these items recognized in the first quarter of 2014, noninterest expenses for the second quarter of 2014 increased by $855 thousand, or 4%, compared to the first quarter of 2014. Significant linked quarter changes, on this basis, included the following:

  • Salaries and employee benefit costs increased by $504 thousand, or 4%, including increased transaction-based compensation due to higher mortgage origination volume.
  • Advertising and promotion costs increased by $308 thousand, or 133%, reflecting seasonal promotion efforts.

Income tax expense amounted to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2014 was 31.9%, compared to 31.7% for the first quarter of 2014. Based on current federal and applicable state income tax statutes, the Corporation currently expects the effective tax rate to be approximately 31.8% for the remainder of 2014.

Asset Quality
Total nonaccrual loans amounted to $12.5 million, or 0.49% of total loans, at June 30, 2014, down from $13.6 million, or 0.55%, at March 31, 2014. Total past due loans amounted to $21.1 million, or 0.82% of total loans, at June 30, 2014, compared to $18.0 million, or 0.73%, at March 31, 2014.

The loan loss provision charged to earnings in the second quarter of 2014 totaled $450 thousand, up from $300 thousand in the first quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs amounted to $224 thousand in the second quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs totaled $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 and was largely comprised of a $853 thousand charge-off on one commercial mortgage relationship. The allowance for loan losses was $27.3 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at June 30, 2014, compared to $27.0 million, or 1.09% of total loans, at March 31, 2014.

Loans
Total loans amounted to $2.58 billion at June 30, 2014, up by $102.5 million, or 4%, from the balance at March 31, 2014. This increase was comprised of the following:

The decrease of $34.5 million was largely due to the maturity of a $29.5 million U.S. Government Agency security, $5.3 million of called securities of state and political subdivisions and principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities.

Deposits and Borrowings
Deposits totaled $2.59 billion at June 30, 2014, down by $5.6 million, or 0.2%, from the balance at March 31, 2014. This decrease was comprised of the following:

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains 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 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: continued weakness in national, regional or local economies; reductions in net interest income resulting from a sustained low interest rate environment 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 Corporation's competition; changes in legislation or regulation and accounting principles, policies and guidelines; 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, as filed with the SEC and as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other SEC filings, may result in these differences. You should carefully review all of these factors, and you should be aware that there may be other factors that could cause these differences. These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this press release, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes.

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.

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.
