Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $32.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, up by $677 thousand, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2024. The net interest margin was 1.85% for the third quarter, an increase of 2 basis points from the preceding quarter. Linked quarter changes included:

•Average interest-earning assets increased by $25 million, reflecting an increase of $132 million in deposits at correspondent banks, partially offset by decreases in loans and securities. The yield on interest-earning assets for the third quarter was 4.99%, up by 2 basis points from the preceding quarter.

•Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $2 million, as in-market deposits increased by $35 million while wholesale funding balances decreased by $33 million. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2024 was 3.70%, up by 2 basis points from the preceding quarter.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $16.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, down by $388 thousand, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2024. Included in other noninterest income in the second quarter of 2024 was a net gain of $988 thousand recognized on the sale of a bank-owned operations facility. Excluding this item, noninterest income was up by $600 thousand, or 4%, from the preceding quarter. Linked quarter changes included:

•Wealth management revenues amounted to $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, up by $311 thousand, or 3%. This included an increase in asset-based revenues of $531 thousand, or 6%, which was partially offset by a decrease in transaction-based revenues of $220 thousand, or 50%. The decline in transaction-based revenues was largely due to seasonal tax servicing fee income concentrated in the second quarter. The end of period AUA balance at September 30, 2024 amounted to $7.1 billion, up by $249 million, or 4%, from June 30, 2024.

•Mortgage banking revenues totaled $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2024, up by $105 thousand, or 4%. Loans sold amounted to $120.3 million in the third quarter of 2024, up by $10.3 million, or 9%. In both the second and third quarters of 2024, 81% of residential real estate loan originations were originated for sale.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $34.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, up by $594 thousand, or 2%, from the second quarter of 2024. This included an increase in advertising and promotion expense of $196 thousand, or 30%, due to timing of such activities. The remaining increase in noninterest expense included modest changes across a variety of expense categories.

Income Tax

Income tax expense totaled $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, down by $171 thousand from the preceding quarter. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 20.6%, down from 21.8% in the preceding quarter. Based on current federal and applicable state income tax statutes, the Corporation currently expects its full-year 2024 effective tax rate to be approximately 21%.

Investment Securities

The securities portfolio totaled $973 million at September 30, 2024, up by $21 million, or 2%, from June 30, 2024, reflecting an increase of $41 million in the fair value of available for sale securities, partially offset by routine pay-downs. The securities portfolio represented 14% of total assets at September 30, 2024, compared to 13% of total assets at June 30, 2024.

Loans

Total loans amounted to $5.5 billion at September 30, 2024, down by $114 million, or 2%, from the end of the preceding quarter. These changes included:

•Commercial loans decreased by $82 million, or 3%.

In-market deposits, which exclude wholesale brokered deposits, amounted to $4.8 billion at September 30, 2024, up by $155 million, or 3%, from June 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, in-market deposits were approximately 59% retail and 41% commercial. The average size of our in-market deposit accounts was approximately $36 thousand at September 30, 2024.

Wholesale brokered deposits amounted to $380 million and were up by $41 million, or 12%, from June 30, 2024.

FHLB advances totaled $1.3 billion at September 30, 2024, down by $250 million, or 16%, from June 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, contingent liquidity amounted to $1.7 billion and consisted of noninterest-bearing cash, unencumbered securities, and unused collateralized borrowing capacity.

Asset Quality

Nonaccrual loans were $31.1 million, or 0.56% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, compared to $30.5 million, or 0.54% of total loans, at June 30, 2024. The composition of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2024 was 61% commercial and 39% residential and consumer.

Past due loans were $20.3 million, or 0.37% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, compared to $11.9 million, or 0.21% of total loans, at June 30, 2024. The increase in past due loans was largely due to one commercial real estate loan that has been on nonaccrual status since the fourth quarter of 2023. The composition of past due loans at September 30, 2024 was 52% commercial and 48% residential and consumer.

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans amounted to $42.6 million, or 0.77% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, compared to $42.4 million, or 0.75% of total loans, at June 30, 2024. The ACL on unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $1.6 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $1.7 million at June 30, 2024.

Washington Trust

October 21, 2024

The provision for credit losses totaled $200 thousand in the third quarter of 2024, down by $300 thousand from the preceding quarter, largely reflecting the decline in loan balances. Net charge-offs amounted to $48 thousand in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $27 thousand in the preceding quarter.

Capital and Dividends

Total shareholders' equity was $502.2 million at September 30, 2024, up by $31.3 million, or 7%, from June 30, 2024. Net income of $11.0 million and an increase of $29.2 million in the accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") component of shareholders' equity were partially offset by $9.7 million in dividend declarations. The increase in AOCI mainly reflected increases in the fair value of available for sale debt securities due to changes in market interest rates.

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 56 cents per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The dividend was paid on October 11, 2024 to shareholders of record on October 1, 2024.

Capital levels at September 30, 2024 exceeded the regulatory minimum levels to be considered well capitalized, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.21% at September 30, 2024, compared to 11.81% at June 30, 2024. Book value per share was $29.44 at September 30, 2024, compared to $27.61 at June 30, 2024.

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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), in our annual reports to shareholders, 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 our control. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements 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:

•changes in general business and economic conditions on a national basis and in the local markets in which we operate;

•changes in customer behavior due to political, business, and economic conditions, including inflation and concerns about liquidity;

•interest rate changes or volatility, as well as changes in the balance and mix of loans and deposits;

•changes in loan demand and collectability;

•the possibility that future credit losses are higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions or adverse economic developments;

•ongoing volatility in national and international financial markets;

•reductions in the market value or outflows of wealth management AUA;

•decreases in the value of securities and other assets;

•increases in defaults and charge-off rates;

•changes in the size and nature of our competition;

•changes in legislation or regulation and accounting principles, policies, and guidelines;

•operational risks including, but not limited to, changes in information technology, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, and future pandemics;

•regulatory, litigation, and reputational risks; 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, 2023, 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.

The following tables present daily average balance, interest, and yield/rate information, as well as net interest margin on an FTE basis. Tax-exempt income is converted to an FTE basis using the statutory federal income tax rate adjusted for applicable state income taxes net of the related federal tax benefit. Unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities, changes in fair value on mortgage loans held for sale, and basis adjustments associated with fair value hedges are excluded from the average balance and yield calculations. Nonaccrual loans, as well as interest recognized on these loans, are included in amounts presented for loans.
