Third Quarter 2009 Financial Highlights (September 30, 2009 compared to September 30, 2008)



 -- Capital ratios again exceeded the regulatory requirements for
    well-capitalized institutions, with Tier 1 Capital to risk-
    adjusted assets of 15.03% compared to 11.81%.  Tangible common
    equity to tangible assets stood at 8.82%% compared to 8.66% a
    year earlier.

 -- Asset quality continues to be better than average for the
    region and the nation with nonperforming assets to total assets
    at 0.85%, up from 0.50%. (SNL's Bank & Thrift Index
    institutions averaged 1.37% in June and SNL peer institutions
    averaged 2.39% as of June 30, 2009)

 -- Loan loss reserves increased to 1.95% of total loans, up 55
    basis points year-over-year.

 -- The provision for loan losses was $2.5 million in the third
    quarter, bringing year-to-date provisions to $8.0 million.

 -- Pretax pre-provision income grew 5% in the quarter and 26%
    year-over-year to $4.9 million compared to $4.7 million in the
    second quarter and $3.9 million a year ago.

 -- Total loans were $816 million, slightly down from $823 million.

 -- Book value per common share increased 7% to $8.87 compared to
    $8.32.

 -- Deposits increased 4% to $812 million with noninterest-bearing
    demand deposits up 16% year-over-year.

 -- Whidbey Island Bank remains the No.1 bank in deposits in Island
    County, with its market share rising to 45.5% of deposits in
    the county as of June 2009.

Credit Quality

"Our loan portfolio is performing well on a comparative basis, but continues to be hampered by overall weak economic fundamentals," said Joe Niemer, Chief Credit Officer. "Nonperforming loans were down by $4.3 million from last quarter and $709,000 from a year ago; however, other real estate owned (OREO) increased by $2.4 million quarter-over-quarter as nonaccrual loans moved through the collection process. While our credit quality remains above average by current industry standards, we continue to have concerns about the ongoing economic factors and their impact on our borrowing customers and our loan portfolio metrics."

Washington Banking's nonperforming assets totaled $8.2 million, or 0.85% of total assets at September 30, 2009, compared to $10.1 million, or 1.08% of total assets at June 30, 2009, and $4.6 million, or 0.50% of total assets, a year ago. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, restructured loans and OREO. "We continue to see stress in our construction and land development loans, which total about 14% of the loan portfolio," Niemer continued. "Consequently, we are continuing to build reserves."

Net charge-offs in the third quarter were $1.4 million, or 67 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $1.2 million, or 57 basis points of average loans for the same quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, net charge-offs were $4.3 million, or 70 basis points of average loans, compared to $2.8 million, or 46 basis points for average loans in the first nine months of 2008. Net charge-offs in the indirect lending portfolio were $449,000 in the third quarter, compared to $228,000 in the second quarter, and $527,000 in the third quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, indirect net charge-offs were $1.1 million or 1.41% of average indirect loans, compared to $932,000, or 1.12% of indirect loans in the first nine months of 2008.

Boosted by the $8.0 million provision for loan losses booked in the first nine months of 2009, the allowance for loan losses increased to $15.9 million, or 1.95% of total loans at quarter end, compared to $11.5 million, or 1.40% at September 30, 2008.

Capital

Washington Banking's capital ratios were very strong at the end of the third 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 15.03% up from 14.99% at June 30, 2009, and 11.81% a year ago. The total risk-based capital ratio was 16.29% at September 30, 2009, compared to 16.25% at June 30, 2009, and 13.06% at September 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 8.82% of total assets.

Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2009, total assets increased 5% to $960 million compared to $912 million a year ago. Total net loans decreased 1% to $800 million from $812 million a year ago and $806 million at the end of the second quarter of 2009.

Total deposits were up 3% in the quarter and 4% year-over-year at $812 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $788 million at the end of June and $784 million a year ago. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased 16% year-over-year, now representing 13% of total deposits. Year-over-year, money market accounts decreased 1% and now comprise 19% of total deposits. Time deposits also declined 1% to $369 million and accounted for 45% of total deposits with a very small component of brokered deposits. "Our deposit market remains competitive, and we are delighted with the continuing strength in attracting new accounts in our region," said Rick Shields, Chief Financial Officer. "We believe building core deposits is in our best interest over time, even though deposit rates here in the Northwest are higher than in some other markets. While we could actually increase our margin, short term, by relying on brokered funding, we prefer to build relationships with our local clientele for the long run." Core deposits, excluding brokered CDs and time deposits over $100,000 represent 76% of all deposits, up from 74% a year ago.

Retained earnings increased 7% to $48.6 million, bringing common shareholder equity to $8.87 per share at September 30, 2009, compared to $8.32 per share a year ago. Including the $26.4 million capital infusion from the preferred shares issued to the U.S. Treasury, total shareholders' equity was $109.6 million.

Operating Results

Bolstered by premiums received from loan sales and new account fees, revenue (fully tax equivalent) was $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $12.0 million for the second quarter and $11.6 million a year ago. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, grew 9% to $10.4 million in the third quarter from $9.6 a year ago and increased 6% from the linked quarter of $9.8 million. Year-to-date revenue increased 5% to $36.0 million from $34.1 million in the first nine months a year ago. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 4% to $29.6 million from $28.5 million a year ago.

Noninterest income totaled $1.8 million in the third quarter, down 11% from $2.1 million in the preceding quarter and down 1% from $1.8 million a year ago. "Residential mortgage volumes are beginning to taper off, as expected, as the refinancing wave recedes," Shields noted. Year-to-date, noninterest income grew 12% to $5.9 million from $5.3 million in the first nine months of 2008.

Washington Banking's net interest margin was 4.72% in the third quarter of 2009, up 15 basis points from the second quarter and 8 basis points from the year ago quarter. Year-to-date, the net interest margin was 4.60% down from 4.62% in the like period a year ago.

Third quarter noninterest expense was up 3% in the quarter and down 3% year-over-year primarily related to the higher FDIC premiums, increased costs for OREO management and higher occupancy expenses from our new administration facilities. Operating expenses were $7.4 million in the third quarter compared to $7.2 million in the second quarter and $7.6 million in the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2009, noninterest expense was $21.1 million, up 2% from $20.8 million in the first nine months of 2008.

The efficiency ratio during the third quarter of 2009 was 59.20%, compared to 59.72% reported in the linked quarter, and 65.26% a year ago. Year-to-date, the efficiency ratio improved to 58.70% compared to 60.94% in the first nine months of 2008. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 0.70% and 5.95%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2009 and 0.65% and 5.34%, respectively, for the first nine months 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.
