Washington Banking Company Posts Profitable Results in 2Q09


OAK HARBOR, Wash., July 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Washington Banking Company (Nasdaq:WBCO), the holding company for Whidbey Island Bank, today reported that core deposit growth, efficient operating metrics and strong capital ratios contributed to profitability for the second quarter and first half of 2009. Income available to common shareholders was $818,000, or $0.09 per diluted common share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2009, and $2.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, in the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of 2009, net income available to common shareholders after preferred dividend payments of $772,000, was $2.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, which included no preferred dividends in the first six months of 2008.

"With a strong capital position and a relatively healthy loan portfolio, we are attracting new deposits and making loans to meet the needs of our customers. Although our total loans were down slightly from the previous period, we actually originated over $40 million in new loans during the second quarter -- we are clearly open for business," said Jack Wagner, President and CEO. "At the same time, we continue to build our reserves, conserve capital and focus on operations as the recession in our region continues to take its toll on jobs. While our asset quality remains well above our peers, both regionally and nationally, we are continuing to add to our reserves and remain diligent in our portfolio management."

Second Quarter 2009 Financial Highlights (June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008)



 *   Capital ratios remained well above the regulatory requirements
     for well-capitalized institutions, with Tier 1 Capital to
     risk-adjusted assets of 14.99% compared to 11.54%. Tangible
     common equity to assets stood at 8.89% compared to 8.58% a year
     earlier.
 *   Relatively good asset quality was maintained in a very difficult
     economic environment with nonperforming assets to total assets at
     1.08%, up from 0.41%.
 *   Reserves grew to 1.80% of total loans, up 40 basis points
     year-over-year.
 *   The provision for loan losses was $3.0 million in the second
     quarter, bringing year-to-date provisions to $5.5 million.
 *   Total loans were $821 million, almost unchanged from $825
     million.
 *   Book value per common share increased 7% to $8.71 compared to
     $8.17.
 *   Core deposits, consisting of transaction accounts and CDs under
     $100,000, were $600 million and accounted for 76% of total
     deposits.
 *   Washington Banking was added to the Russell 2000 index of
     small-cap companies at the end of June 2009.

Credit Quality

"While our loan portfolio continues to remain diversified by both type and size and our asset quality metrics continue to perform better than peer averages at the national and regional levels, further deterioration in our loan portfolio is anticipated," said Joe Niemer, Chief Credit Officer. According to the FDIC as of March 31, 2009, the average ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 2.32% for all commercial banks nationally and 6.48% for all commercial banks in the state of Washington. Washington Banking's nonperforming assets totaled $10.1 million, or 1.08% of total assets at June 30, 2009, compared to $10.3 million, or 1.12% of total assets at March 31, 2009, and $3.7 million, or 0.41% of total assets, a year ago. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, restructured loans and other real estate owned (OREO).

"Our exposure to residential construction and land development loans, although only 15% of the total loan portfolio, continue to show signs of stress," Niemer continued. "We are building reserves primarily for these loans. And although we are seeing some signs of a bottoming, we do recognize the possibility of further deterioration in our construction and land development loans in the next quarter or two. This deterioration would primarily be reflected in an increase in our level of nonperforming assets."

Net charge-offs in the second quarter were $1.6 million, or 75 basis points of average loans, compared to $869,000, or 42 basis points of average loans for the same period a year ago. Year-to-date, net charge-offs were $2.9 million, or 72 basis points of average loans, compared to $1.6 million, or 40 basis points for average loans in the first six months of 2008. Net charge-offs in the indirect lending portfolio were $228,000 in the second quarter, down from $445,000 in the first quarter, and up from $214,000 in the second quarter a year ago. For the first half of 2009, indirect net charge-offs were $672,000 or 1.27% of average indirect loans, compared to $405,000, or 0.73% of indirect loans in the first half of 2008.

Boosted by the $5.5 million provision for loan losses booked in the first half of 2009, the allowance for loan losses increased to $14.8 million, or 1.80% of total loans at quarter end, compared to $11.6 million, or 1.40% at June 30, 2008.

Capital

Washington Banking's capital ratios were very strong at the end of the second quarter, which included the $26.4 million raised from the sale of preferred shares to the U.S. Treasury in January of this year. Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.99% up from 14.94% at March 31, 2009, and 11.54% a year ago. The total risk-based capital ratio was 16.25% at June 30, 2009, compared to 16.19% at March 31, 2009, and 12.79% at June 30, 2008. All regulatory ratios continue to exceed the "well-capitalized" requirements established by regulators. Washington Banking's tangible common equity at quarter end was equal to 8.89% of total assets.

"Each quarter our board of directors reviews our dividend payment on common shares, and at our board meeting being held today, I am recommending that we temporarily reduce dividend payments until the regional economy begins to show signs of recovery," said Wagner. "The dividend payment is reviewed in light of earnings, the regional economic outlook and capital requirements. With the issuance of the preferred shares I believe it is prudent to conserve capital in order to put the Company in a position to be able to redeem preferred shareholders on an accelerated schedule, if appropriate. Washington Banking, however, has paid a quarterly cash dividend since its 1998 initial public offering, and we are very aware of the needs of our shareholders."

Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2009, total assets increased 3% to $935 million compared to $904 million a year ago. Total net loans decreased 1% to $806 million from $813 million a year ago and $816 million at the end of the first quarter of 2009.

Total deposits were up 3% in the quarter and 7% year-over-year at $788 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $763 million at the end of March and $733 million a year ago. Year-over-year, money market accounts increased 19% and now comprise 19% of total deposits. Time deposits increased 3% to $363 million and accounted for 46% of total deposits with a very small component of brokered deposits. "We are continuing to build our core deposit base and are seeing very strong new account growth," said Rick Shields, Chief Financial Officer. Core deposits, excluding brokered CDs and time deposits over $100,000, represent 76% of all deposits, up from 73% a year ago.

Retained earnings increased 7% to $47.5 million, bringing common shareholder equity to $8.71 per share at June 30, 2009, compared to $8.17 per share a year ago. Following the $26.4 million capital infusion from the preferred shares issued to the U.S. Treasury, total shareholders' equity was $107.9 million.

Operating Results

Bolstered by premiums received from loan sales and annuity commissions, revenue (fully tax equivalent) was $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $11.5 million for the first quarter and $11.1 million a year ago. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, grew 5% in the second quarter to $9.8 million from $9.3 million in both the previous and year ago quarters. Year-to-date revenue increased 4% to $23.2 million from $22.3 million in the first six months a year ago. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 1% to $19.1 million from $18.9 million a year ago.

Noninterest income rose to $2.1 million in the second quarter, up 4% from the prior quarter at $2.0 million and up 27% from $1.6 million a year ago. For the first six months of 2009, noninterest income grew 19% to $4.1 million from $3.4 million in the first half of 2008. "We are still generating solid volumes from residential mortgage lending for both new purchase and refinance activity, although we believe demand is starting to moderate and expect volumes will slow in the second half of the year," Shields noted.

Net interest margin was 4.57% in the second quarter of 2009, up 6 basis points from the first quarter and 2 basis points from the year ago quarter. For the first six months of the year, net interest margin was 4.54% down from 4.63% in the like period a year ago.

Second quarter noninterest expense was up 10% in the quarter and 14% from a year ago primarily related to the $400,000 FDIC special assessment levied in the 2009 second quarter and costs associated with opening the new Smokey Point branch and relocating the administrative center in Burlington. Operating expenses were $7.2 million in the second quarter compared to $6.5 million in the first quarter and $6.3 million in the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of 2009, noninterest expense was $13.7 million, up 4% from $13.2 million in the first six months of 2008.

The efficiency ratio during the second quarter of 2009 was 59.72%, compared to 57.07% reported in the linked quarter, and 56.88% a year ago. Year-to-date, the efficiency ratio improved slightly to 58.43% compared to 58.46% in the first six months of 2008. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 0.53% and 5.90%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2009 and 0.62% and 5.00%, respectively, for the first half of 2009.

 (1) Revenues is the fully tax-equivalent net interest income before
     provision for loan losses plus noninterest income.

 (2) Fully tax-equivalent is a non-GAAP performance measurement that
     management believes provides investors with a more accurate
     picture of the net interest margin, revenues and efficiency ratio
     for comparative purposes. The calculation involves grossing up
     interest income on tax-exempt loans and investments by an amount
     that makes it comparable to taxable income.

 (3) Return on average common equity is adjusted for preferred stock
     dividends.

 (4) Capital ratios for the most recent period are an estimate pending
     filing of the Company's regulatory reports.
