OAK HARBOR, Wash., Jan. 28, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Washington Banking Company (Nasdaq:WBCO), the holding company for Whidbey Island Bank, today reported that its strong capital ratios, stable credit quality and healthy core deposit growth contributed to another profitable quarter. Washington Banking earned $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $1.7 million for the fourth quarter a year ago. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $1.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, in the preceding quarter, and $1.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter a year ago. For the year, Washington Banking’s net income available to common shareholders was $4.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, compared to $8.3 million, or $0.88 per diluted common share in 2008. Preferred dividend payments totaled $1.6 million in 2009; there were no preferred dividends paid in 2008.
“The highlight of the quarter was our successful campaign to raise $49 million in new capital, which further demonstrates the confidence investors have in our franchise,” said Jack Wagner, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With this fresh capital, we have been actively reviewing opportunities to expand our franchise and believe there will be a number of appropriate FDIC-assisted transactions to bid on in the coming months.
“We continue to benefit from the flight to quality as customers choose to bank with healthy, full-service, local institutions,” Wagner continued. “We also continue to attract skilled banking professionals that are looking for a stable long-term partnership with a strong franchise, and we see a very good opportunity to grow market share in our Northwest footprint by adding relationship bankers to our team.”

Fourth Quarter 2009 Financial Highlights (December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008)
- Capital ratios continue to exceed the regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions, with Total Risk Based Capital to risk-adjusted assets of 22.27% compared to 13.23%. To be considered well-capitalized, a bank must have over 10% Total Risk-based Capital.
- Tangible common equity to tangible assets stood at 12.81% compared to 8.95% a year earlier.
- Asset quality remains better than average for the region and the nation with nonperforming assets to total assets at 0.76%, up from 0.46%.
- Deposits increased an impressive 13% to $847 million with noninterest-bearing demand deposits up 14% year-over-year, representing 12% of total deposits.
- Total loans were $814 million, slightly down from $823 million, while loan loss reserves increased to 1.99% of total loans, up 50 basis points year-over-year.
- The provision for loan losses was $2.3 million in the fourth quarter, bringing year-to-date provisions to $10.2 million.
- Pretax pre-provision income remained flat for the quarter at $4.9 million in the third and fourth quarters of 2009 and up from $4.3 million in the fourth quarter a year ago.
- Tangible book value per common share increased 3% to $8.75 compared to $8.47.
Credit Quality
“Our loan portfolio continues to outperform most of our peers, however, we believe further deterioration is possible in our asset quality metrics,” said Joe Niemer, Chief Credit Officer. “We continued to build reserves in the fourth quarter which reflects our concern for the overall economy more than any specific issues in our portfolio. Our provision for loan losses, which more than doubled to $10.2 million in 2009, exceeded net charge-offs of $6.2 million and increased the allowance for loan losses to 1.99% of total loans and 478% of nonperforming loans at year end.”
Nonperforming loans were $3.4 million compared to $3.2 million last quarter and $1.9 million a year ago. Other real estate owned (OREO) totaled $4.5 million, down from $5.0 million last quarter and up from $2.2 million a year ago. Nonperforming assets totaled $7.9 million, or 0.76% of total assets at year end, compared to $8.2 million, or 0.85% of total assets at September 30, 2009, and $4.1 million, or 0.46% of total assets, a year ago. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, restructured loans and OREO.
Net charge-offs in the fourth quarter were $1.9 million, or 94 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $1.1 million, or 55 basis points of average loans for the same quarter a year ago. For the year, net charge-offs were $6.2 million, or 76 basis points of average loans, compared to $3.9 million, or 48 basis points for average loans in 2008. Net charge-offs in the indirect lending portfolio were $453,000 in the fourth quarter, compared to $449,000 in the third quarter, and $507,000 in the fourth quarter a year ago. For the year, indirect net charge-offs were $1.6 million or 1.50% of average indirect loans, compared to $1.4 million, or 1.30% of indirect loans in 2008. “We continue our past practice of charging off any indirect loan when it becomes 90-days delinquent,” Wagner added.
Balance Sheet
Total assets grew 16% to over $1.04 billion at December 31, 2009 compared to $899.6 million a year ago. Total loans decreased slightly to $814 million from $816 million at the end of the third quarter of 2009 and $823 million a year ago. The portfolio is well diversified with owner-occupied commercial real estate loans making up 23% of the portfolio and commercial loans at 11% of total loans. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans account for 21% and residential mortgages account for 7% of the portfolio. Indirect consumer loans, mostly made through local automotive dealers, account for 12% and other consumer loans account for 11% of the portfolio. At year end, construction and land development loans for residential projects were 9% and commercial construction projects were 4% of total loans. Construction and land development loans are down by more than $35 million year-over year and a year ago accounted for 14% of the total portfolio.
Total deposits were up 4% in the quarter and 13% year-over-year to $847 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $812 million at the end of September and $747 million a year ago. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased 14% year-over-year, now representing 12% of total deposits. Year-over-year, money market accounts increased 41% and now comprise 24% of total deposits. The December 31, 2009 balance includes approximately $20 million of deposits that are expected to runoff by March 31, 2010. Time deposits remained flat at $350 million and accounted for 41% of total deposits. Core deposits, excluding brokered CDs and time deposits over $100,000 represent 79% of all deposits, up from 75% a year ago. “Outside of the CDARS (Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service) program, which provides additional sources of insurance for local customers, we have minimal deposits from brokered sources,” said Rick Shields, Chief Financial Officer.
Retained earnings increased 10% to $51.2 million, bringing common shareholder equity to $8.75 per share at December 31, 2009, compared to $8.47 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 $159.5 million. As a result of the equity offering in the fourth quarter, one half of the warrants issued with the preferred shares were cancelled.
Operating Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $12.7 million, compared to $12.5 million in the third quarter and $11.2 million a year ago. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, grew 14% to $10.8 million in the fourth quarter from $9.5 a year ago and increased 3% from the linked quarter of $10.4 million. For the year, revenue increased 7% to $48.7 million from $45.4 million a year ago. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 6% to $40.4 million from $37.9 million a year ago.
Noninterest income totaled $1.7 million in the fourth quarter, down 6% from $1.8 million in the preceding quarter but up 10% from $1.6 million a year ago. “We posted a net reversal of $158,000 Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) income for the fourth quarter, as a result of the stable value agreement for the policy which was activated by a decline in the market value of the assets. In general our BOLI investments have generated a solid tax-deferred income stream and we expect it will continue to contribute to revenues in the future,” said Shields. For the year, noninterest income grew 11% to $7.7 million from $6.9 million in 2008.
Washington Banking’s net interest margin was 4.69% in the fourth quarter of 2009, down 3 basis points from the third quarter but up 19 basis points from the year ago quarter. For 2009, the net interest margin was 4.63% up from 4.60% the prior year. Interest reversals in the fourth quarter negatively impacted the margin by 4 basis points, compared with 2 basis points in the third quarter. The margin was also negatively affected by 9 basis points due to the capital raised during the fourth quarter which was primarily invested in Fed funds.
Fourth quarter noninterest expense was up 3% in the quarter and up 13% year-over-year primarily related to the higher FDIC premiums and increased costs for OREO management. “The cost of doing business, especially in the banking industry, continues to rise,” said Wagner, “but we have been working hard to manage the expenses that we can control. Salaries for managers were frozen at yearend 2008 levels, and there were no bonuses in 2009 bank wide. We are now extending the salary freeze in 2010 to all employees, with the caveat that there will be an opportunity at mid-year for most employees to receive a one-time cash payment in lieu of a raise, subject to Company performance.” Operating expenses were $7.6 million in the 2009 fourth quarter compared to $7.4 million in the third quarter and $6.7 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. For 2009, noninterest expense was $28.7 million, up 4% from $27.5 million in 2008.
The efficiency ratio during the fourth quarter of 2009 was 59.90%, compared to 59.20% reported in the linked quarter, and 60.22% a year ago. For the year, the efficiency ratio improved to 59.01% compared to 60.63% in 2008. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 0.70% and 5.16%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2009 and 0.74% and 8.37%, respectively, for the fourth quarter in 2008.
