Washington Trust Reports Record Second Quarter 2015 Earnings


WESTERLY, R.I., July 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:WASH), parent company of The Washington Trust Company, today announced net income of $11.5 million, or 68 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015, compared to net income of $11.0 million, or 65 cents per diluted share, reported for the first quarter of 2015.

"Washington Trust once again posted solid quarterly results, reflecting the strength of our diversified business model and our expanded regional presence," stated Joseph J. MarcAurele, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In June we announced our intention to acquire Halsey Associates, Incorporated, a New Haven, Connecticut-based registered investment adviser. This acquisition, which we expect to complete during the third quarter, is significant as it further enhances our reputation as one of the premier wealth management firms and financial institutions in the region."

Selected highlights for the second quarter of 2015 include:

  • Second quarter net income and earnings per share were both record highs for Washington Trust.
  • Returns on average equity and average assets improved to 12.88% and 1.27%, respectively. Comparable amounts for the first quarter of 2015 were 12.54% and 1.23%, respectively.
  • Wealth management revenues totaled $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, up by $477 thousand, or 6%, from the first quarter of 2015.
  • Net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others amounted to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, up by $163 thousand, or 6%, from the prior quarter.
  • Total loans amounted to $2.9 billion at June 30, 2015, up by $48.0 million, or 2%, from the previous quarter.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $26.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, up by $326 thousand, or 1%, from the first quarter of 2015. The net interest margin was 3.15% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 3.18% for the first quarter of 2015. Commercial loan prepayment fee income, which is included in net interest income, amounted to $519 thousand in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $266 thousand in the prior quarter. Excluding the loan prepayment fee income in each period, the second quarter net interest margin was 3.09%, down by 5 basis points on a linked quarter basis. Other significant linked quarter changes included:

  • Average interest-earning assets increased by $34.1 million, largely reflecting growth in average commercial loan balances. The yield on interest-earning assets, excluding the loan prepayment fee income contribution of 6 basis points and 3 basis points, respectively, was 3.74% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 3.81% for the prior quarter. The 7 basis point decline from the previous quarter was largely due to runoff of higher yielding asset balances.
  • Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $24.7 million, with growth in average deposit balances, partially offset by a decline in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") advances. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 3 basis points on a linked quarter basis.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, up by $1.2 million, or 9%, from the first quarter of 2015. Included in noninterest income were the following:

  • Wealth management revenues totaled $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, up by $477 thousand, or 6%, over the previous quarter. The increase included a $346 thousand increase in tax preparation fees, which are generally concentrated in the second quarter. Wealth management assets under administration amounted to $5.2 billion at June 30, 2015, up by 1% in the quarter and up by 4% in the last twelve months.
  • Net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others totaled $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, up by $163 thousand, or 6%, on a linked quarter basis. Residential mortgage loans sold to the secondary market amounted to $143.2 million in the second quarter, up by $15.3 million, compared to the first quarter.
  • Net gains on interest rate swap contracts remained relatively strong due to a continuation of borrower demand for these transactions. This revenue source amounted to $717 thousand in the second quarter, up modestly from the first quarter.
  • Other income totaled $662 thousand for the second quarter of 2015, up by $360 thousand on a linked quarter basis. The increase was primarily due to a $250 thousand settlement payment received in the second quarter on a trust preferred debt obligation previously held by the Corporation.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses totaled $24.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, up by $768 thousand, or 3%, from the first quarter of 2015. Included in noninterest expenses in the second quarter were acquisition related expenses of $433 thousand. Excluding the acquisition expenses, noninterest expenses increased by $335 thousand, or 1%, which was largely attributable to an increase of $311 thousand in advertising and promotion expenses due to the timing of promotional activities.

Income tax expense amounted to $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, up by $206 thousand, or 4%, from the amount recognized in the previous quarter. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 was 31.9%, compared to 32.0% for the first quarter of 2015. The Corporation currently expects that its full-year 2015 effective tax rate will be approximately 32.5%.

Asset Quality

Asset quality metrics remained at stable and manageable levels in the second quarter of 2015. Total nonaccrual loans amounted to $15.1 million, or 0.52% of total loans, at June 30, 2015, down from $15.9 million, or 0.55%, at March 31, 2015. Total past due loans amounted to $24.0 million, or 0.82% of total loans, at June 30, 2015, up from $19.1 million, or 0.66% of total loans, at March 31, 2015. This increase was largely attributable to a well-secured commercial relationship.

A loan loss provision totaling $100 thousand was charged to earnings in the second quarter of 2015, compared to no loan loss provision recognized in the first quarter of 2015. The second quarter provision reflects loan loss allocations commensurate with growth in loan portfolio balances, offset by reductions in other loan loss exposures in response to continued improvement in credit quality conditions. Net charge-offs amounted to $323 thousand in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $213 thousand in the first quarter of 2015. The allowance for loan losses was $27.6 million, or 0.94% of total loans, at June 30, 2015, compared to $27.8 million, or 0.97% of total loans, at March 31, 2015.

Loans

Total loans amounted to $2.9 billion at June 30, 2015, up by $48.0 million, or 2%, from the balance at March 31, 2015.

  • Total commercial loans increased by $24.0 million, or 2%, in the second quarter of 2015. The commercial real estate portfolio grew by $32.7 million, or 3%, while the commercial and industrial portfolio declined by $8.7 million, or 1%.
  • The residential real estate loan portfolio grew by $13.7 million, or 1%, from the first quarter of 2015.
  • Consumer loans increased by $10.3 million, or 3%, with growth in home equity lines of credit.

Investment Securities

The securities portfolio amounted to $373.9 million at June 30, 2015, up $8.9 million from the balance at March 31, 2015. The increase reflects purchases of U.S. government agency securities for balance sheet liquidity management purposes.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $2.7 billion at June 30, 2015, down by $44.0 million, or 2%, from the balance at March 31, 2015. Wholesale brokered time deposits decreased by $6.3 million from the previous quarter. Excluding wholesale brokered time deposits, in-market deposits declined by $37.8 million, or 2%. The largest outflow in the quarter was $32.0 million in the category of money market deposits, a portion of which is considered to be seasonal flows associated with governmental and other institutional depositors.

FHLBB advances amounted to $471.3 million at June 30, 2015, up by $85.3 million, or 22% from March 31, 2015.

Capital Management and Dividends

Capital levels at June 30, 2015 exceeded the regulatory minimum levels to be considered well capitalized, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.78% at June 30, 2015, compared to 12.80% at March 31, 2015. Total shareholder's equity was $359.2 million at June 30, 2015, up by $5.3 million from March 31, 2015.

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 34 cents per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The dividend was paid on July 14, 2015 to shareholders of record on July 1, 2015.

Acquisition of Halsey Associates, Incorporated

In June, we announced that we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Halsey Associates, Incorporated, a registered investment adviser firm located in New Haven, CT.  Halsey specializes in providing investment counseling services to high-net worth families, corporations, foundations and endowment clients and has annualized revenues of approximately $4 million.  The purchase price, including Washington Trust stock and cash to be paid at closing, plus estimated future earn-outs based on the future revenue growth of the acquired business during the 5-year period following the acquisition, will amount to approximately 6.5 times Halsey's 2014 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  We expect to consummate this transaction in the third quarter.  The transaction is expected to result in a modest reduction in tangible book value per share and capital ratios and is expected to be modestly accretive to earnings per share commencing in the latter part of 2015, following the recognition of estimated acquisition related expenses of approximately $900 thousand, which include $433 thousand recognized through June 30, 2015.

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: 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 Washington Trust'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.
