- Mortgage banking revenues amounted to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2015, up by $471 thousand, or 22%, from the fourth quarter of 2014, due to higher levels of loan origination and sales.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $25.7 million for the first quarter of 2015, down by $561 thousand, or 2%, from the $26.3 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2014. The net interest margin was 3.18% for the first quarter of 2015, compared to 3.23% for the fourth quarter of 2014. Included in net interest income was commercial loan prepayment fee income of $266 thousand in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $445 thousand of such fee income in the previous quarter. Excluding the loan prepayment fee income, the net interest margin was 3.14% for the first quarter, down by 4 basis points on a linked quarter basis. Other significant linked quarter changes included:
- Average interest-earning assets increased by $60.7 million, reflecting growth in average commercial and residential loan balances. The yield on interest-earning assets, excluding the contribution from the loan prepayment fee income, was 3.81% for the first quarter of 2015, compared to 3.85% for the fourth quarter of 2014. The 4 basis point decline from the previous quarter was primarily due to lower rates on recent commercial loan originations.
- Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $82.3 million, with growth in average wholesale funding balances and average interest-bearing deposits. The cost of interest-bearing funds declined by 2 basis points on a linked quarter basis.
Noninterest Income

- Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $809 thousand from the previous quarter, partially due to an increase in payroll taxes associated with the start of the new calendar year.

Asset Quality
The Corporation's sound asset quality metrics continued in the first quarter of 2015. Total nonaccrual loans amounted to $15.9 million, or 0.55% of total loans, at March 31, 2015, down from $15.9 million, or 0.56%, at December 31, 2014. Total past due loans amounted to $19.1 million, or 0.66% of total loans, at March 31, 2015, up from $18.1 million, or 0.63% of total loans, at December 31, 2014. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings amounted to $17.7 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $18.4 million at the end of the previous quarter.
Based on the assessment of the stable asset quality metrics, the relatively modest loan growth and other favorable changes in loss exposure allocation, management concluded that no loan loss provision charged to earnings was necessary in the first quarter of 2015. A loan loss provision of $500 thousand was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs amounted to $213 thousand in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $245 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2014. The allowance for loan losses was $27.8 million, or 0.97% of total loans, at March 31, 2015, compared to $28.0 million, or 0.98% of total loans, at December 31, 2014.

Total loans amounted to $2.9 billion at March 31, 2015, up by $21.3 million from the balance at December 31, 2014.
- Total commercial loans increased by $24.0 million, or 2%, in the first quarter of 2015.

The securities portfolio amounted to $365.0 million, or 10% of total assets, at March 31, 2015, down from $382.9 million, or 11%, at December 31, 2014. The decline was primarily due to principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities and calls of state and political subdivision debt securities.
Deposits and Borrowings
Deposits totaled $2.8 billion at March 31, 2015, up by $28.3 million, or 1%, from the balance at December 31, 2014. Wholesale brokered time deposits decreased by $8.3 million from the previous quarter. Excluding wholesale brokered time deposits, in-market deposits increased by $36.6 million, or 1%.

- Money market and savings account balances increased by $25.7 million, or 2%.
- In-market time deposits decreased by $13.2 million, or 2%.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") advances amounted to $386.0 million at March 31, 2015, down by $20.3 million, or 5% from December 31, 2014, primarily due to paydowns of outstanding advances with excess liquidity. In the first quarter of 2015, FHLBB advances totaling $69.2 million were modified to lower interest rates and the maturities of these advances were extended. The original maturity dates ranged from 2016 to 2018 and were modified to 2018 to 2022. The original weighted average interest rate was 4.06% and was modified to 3.50%.

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.
