Selected highlights for the second quarter of 2017 include:

  • Wealth management assets under administration at the end of the quarter totaled $6.4 billion and second quarter revenues amounted to $9.9 million.  These were record highs for Washington Trust.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $29.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, up by $1.2 million, or 4%, from the first quarter.  Included in net interest income in the second quarter was loan prepayment fee income of $549 thousand, compared to $135 thousand in the first quarter.  Excluding the impact of loan prepayment fee income in each period, net interest income was up by $811 thousand, or 3%, on a linked quarter basis.  The net interest margin was 2.97% for the second quarter of 2017, up by 10 basis points from the preceding quarter.  Excluding the impact of the loan prepayment fee income in each period, the net interest margin was 2.92%, up by 6 basis points from the first quarter of 2017.  Significant linked quarter changes included:

  • Average interest-earning assets decreased by $17 million, primarily due to payoffs in the commercial real estate loan portfolio.  The yield on interest-earning assets for the second quarter was 3.68%, up by 12 basis points from the preceding quarter.  Excluding the impact of loan prepayment fee income in each period, the yield on interest-earning assets was 3.62%, up by 8 basis points from the preceding quarter, due to higher short-term market rates of interest.

  • Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $39 million, reflecting declines in both in-market interest-bearing deposits and wholesale funding balances.  The cost of interest-bearing funds was 0.87%, up by 4 basis points from the preceding quarter.

Loans
Total loans amounted to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2017, down by $25 million, or 1%, from the end of preceding quarter.  Commercial loans decreased by $64 million, or 4%, on a linked quarter basis, with a $79 million decline in the commercial real estate portfolio resulting from payoffs and a $15 million increase in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio.  Residential loan portfolio balances increased by $37 million, or 3%, from the balance at March 31, 2017.  The consumer loan portfolio increased by $2 million, or 1%, from the end of the preceding quarter.

Investment Securities
The investment securities portfolio amounted to $763 million at June 30, 2017, down by $6 million, or 1%, from the balance at March 31, 2017.  Investment securities represented 17% of total assets as of June 30, 2017.

Deposits and Borrowings
Total deposits amounted to $3.0 billion at June 30, 2017, down by $94 million, or 3%, from the balance at March 31, 2017.  Included in total deposits were wholesale brokered time deposit balances of $401 million, which increased by $19 million from the end of preceding quarter.  Excluding wholesale brokered time deposits, in-market deposits decreased by $113 million, or 4%, in the quarter, reflecting seasonal outflows of various institutional and governmental depositors based on the their underlying business cycles.

FHLBB advances amounted to $870 million at June 30, 2017, up by $71 million from the balance at March 31, 2017.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $16.8 million for the second quarter of 2017, up by $2.3 million, or 16%, from the preceding quarter.  Significant linked quarter changes included:

  • Wealth management revenues increased by $465 thousand, or 5%.  This included increases of $154 thousand in asset-based revenues and $311 thousand in transaction-based revenues.  The increase in transaction-based revenues was largely attributable to tax preparation fees, which are generally concentrated in the second quarter. 

    Wealth management assets under administration increased by $160 million, reflecting financial market appreciation in the second quarter.  Managed assets represented 93% of total wealth management assets at June 30, 2017.

  • Mortgage banking revenues increased by $579 thousand, or 25%, resulting from an increase of residential mortgage loans sold in the secondary market.  Residential mortgage loans sold to the secondary market amounted to $137 million in the second quarter, compared to $107 million in the preceding quarter.

  • Loan related derivative income increased by $996 thousand from the $148 thousand reported for the first quarter, due to higher volume of commercial borrower loan related derivative transactions occurring in the second quarter.

Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses totaled $26.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, up by $1.0 million, or 4%, from the first quarter.  Included in the first quarter was a $310 thousand reduction in noninterest expenses resulting from the downward adjustment in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability initially recognized upon the completion of a 2015 acquisition.  Excluding this first quarter adjustment, noninterest expenses were up by $710 thousand, or 3%, on a linked quarter basis.  Salaries and employee benefit costs, the largest component of noninterest expenses, increased by $563 thousand, or 3%, from the preceding quarter, reflecting an increase in commissions expense due to an increase in mortgage banking activities.  The linked quarter change in noninterest expenses also included a $253 thousand increase in outsourced services, which was primarily due to higher volume of loan related derivative transaction execution costs.

Income tax expense amounted to $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, up by $784 thousand from the preceding quarter.  The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 was 33.0%, compared to 32.7% for the first quarter of 2017.  Excess tax benefits on the settlement of share-based awards, which are recorded as a reduction to income tax expense, totaled $155 thousand for the second quarter, compared to $195 thousand in the preceding quarter.  Excluding the impact of the excess tax benefits recognized in each period, the effective tax rate was 33.8% for the second quarter of 2017, unchanged from the first quarter.  Prior to 2017, excess tax benefits on the settlement of share-based awards were recognized as additional paid in capital in shareholders' equity and did not impact income tax expense or the effective tax rate.

Asset Quality
Total past due loans amounted to $21.1 million, or 0.66% of total loans, at June 30, 2017, compared to $20.9 million, or 0.65% of total loans, at March 31, 2017.  Total nonaccrual loans amounted to $20.2 million, or 0.63% of total loans, at June 30, 2017, down from $22.1 million, or 0.69% of total loans, at March 31, 2017.

A loan loss provision totaling $700 thousand was charged to earnings in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a loan loss provision of $400 thousand in the preceding quarter.  The loan loss provision was based on management's assessment of loss exposure, as well as loan loss allocations commensurate with changes in the loan portfolio during the quarter.  Net charge-offs amounted to $484 thousand in the second quarter of 2017, including a $400 thousand charge-off associated with one commercial real estate relationship.  The allowance for loan losses was $26.7 million, or 0.83% of total loans, at June 30, 2017, compared to $26.4 million, or 0.82% of total loans, at March 31, 2017.

Capital and Dividends
Total shareholders' equity was $406 million at June 30, 2017, up by $8 million from March 31, 2017.  Capital levels at June 30, 2017 exceeded the regulatory minimum levels to be considered well capitalized, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.78% at June 30, 2017, compared to 12.38% at March 31, 2017.  Book value per share amounted to $23.59 at June 30, 2017, up from $23.14 at March 31, 2017.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements that are “forward-looking statements”.  We may also make 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 international economic conditions or conditions affecting the banking or financial services industries or financial capital markets; volatility in national and international financial markets; 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 the our competition; changes in legislation or regulation and accounting principles, policies and guidelines; increasing occurrences of cyberattacks, hacking and identity theft; 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, 2016, as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the SEC, 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 report, 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.
