January 28, 2019 4:06 PM

WESTERLY, R.I., Jan. 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: WASH), parent company of The Washington Trust Company, today announced fourth quarter 2018 net income of $17.0 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to net income of $17.5 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, reported for the third quarter of 2018. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $68.4 million, or $3.93 per diluted share, compared to $45.9 million, or $2.64 per diluted share, reported for the prior year. Earnings in 2017 were reduced by a non-cash charge to write down net deferred tax assets by $6.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which included the reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

“Washington Trust reported record full-year 2018 earnings, reached $5 billion in total assets and posted all-time high levels of total deposits and loans,” stated Edward O. Handy III, Washington Trust Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “These achievements are testaments to our continued success in growing our key business lines and expanding our presence throughout the region.”

Selected highlights for fourth quarter and full-year 2018 include:

Net Interest IncomeNet interest income was $33.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, up by $429 thousand, or 1%, from the third quarter of 2018. Income associated with loan payoffs and prepayment penalties in the fourth quarter of 2018 was $144 thousand, compared to $173 thousand in the prior quarter. The net interest margin was 2.95% for the fourth quarter, down by 4 basis points from 2.99% reported in the preceding quarter. Excluding income associated with loan payoffs and prepayment penalties, the net interest margin was 2.94% for the fourth quarter, down by 4 basis points from 2.98% reported in the preceding quarter.

Significant linked quarter changes included:

Noninterest IncomeNoninterest income totaled $15.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, down modestly by $52 thousand from the third quarter of 2018. Significant linked quarter changes included:

Noninterest ExpensesNoninterest expenses totaled $26.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, up by $620 thousand, or 2%, from the third quarter of 2018. The linked quarter comparison of noninterest expenses was impacted by the following:

Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 decreased by $129 thousand on a linked quarter basis.

Income tax expense totaled $4.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, down by $218 thousand from the preceding quarter. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 21.0%, compared to 21.3% for the preceding quarter. Based on current federal and applicable state income tax statutes, the Corporation currently expects its 2019 effective tax rate to be approximately 21.5%.

Investment SecuritiesThe securities portfolio totaled $938 million at December 31, 2018, up by $115 million from the balance at September 30, 2018. The increase reflected purchases of debt securities in the fourth quarter totaling $124 million, with a weighted average yield of 3.85%, as well as an increase in the fair value of available for sale securities. These increases were partially offset by routine principal pay-downs on mortgage-backed securities and a called debt security. Investment securities represented 19% of total assets at December 31, 2018, compared to 17% of total assets at September 30, 2018.

LoansTotal loans amounted to $3.7 billion at December 31, 2018, up by $124 million, or 3%, from the end of the third quarter. Total commercial loans surpassed $2.0 billion at the end of 2018, increasing by $116 million, or 6%, in the fourth quarter, reflecting growth in the commercial real estate portfolio. The residential real estate loan portfolio increased by $11 million, or 1%, from the balance at September 30, 2018, while total consumer loans declined by $3 million, or 1%, from the end of the third quarter.

Total loans rose by $306 million, or 9%, from the balance at the end of 2017, with growth of $190 million, or 10%, in the commercial loan portfolio and $133 million, or 11%, in the residential loan portfolio.

Deposits and BorrowingsTotal deposits amounted to $3.5 billion at December 31, 2018, up by $110 million, or 3%, from the end of the preceding quarter. Excluding the balances of wholesale brokered time deposits, total in-market deposits were up by $76 million, or 3%, largely due to growth in promotional time certificates of deposit.

Total deposits were up by $281 million, or 9%, from the balance at the end of 2017. Excluding the balances of wholesale brokered time deposits, total in-market deposits were up by $202 million, or 7%, in 2018.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances amounted to $951 million at December 31, 2018, up by $122 million from the balance at September 30, 2018, to fund balance sheet growth.

Asset QualityTotal nonaccrual loans amounted to $11.7 million, or 0.32% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, compared to $10.8 million, or 0.30% of total loans, at September 30, 2018. Total past due loans amounted to $13.6 million, or 0.37% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, compared to $13.5 million, or 0.38% of total loans, at September 30, 2018.

A loan loss provision totaling $800 thousand was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to a loan loss provision of $350 thousand recognized in the preceding quarter. These provisions were based on management's assessment of loss exposure, as well as loan loss allocations commensurate with growth and changes in the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs totaled $237 thousand in the fourth quarter compared to $15 thousand in the preceding quarter. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $27.1 million, or 0.74% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, compared to $26.5 million, or 0.75% of total loans, at September 30, 2018.

Capital and DividendsTotal shareholders' equity was $448 million at December 31, 2018, up by $20.3 million from September 30, 2018, including net income of $17.0 million, as well as an increase in the fair value of available for sale securities totaling $8.8 million and an increase of $2.4 million associated with the annual remeasurement of defined benefit pension plan obligations, both of which are net of tax and recognized in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholders' equity. These increases were partially offset by $8.2 million in dividend declarations made in the quarter.

Capital levels at December 31, 2018 exceeded the regulatory minimum levels to be considered well capitalized, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.56% at December 31, 2018, compared to 12.77% at September 30, 2018. Book value per share amounted to $25.90 at December 31, 2018, compared to $24.75 at September 30, 2018.

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 47 cents per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, an increase of 4 cents per share, or 9%, over the preceding quarter. The dividend was paid on January 11, 2019 to shareholders of record on January 2, 2019.

Forward-Looking StatementsThis 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 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: 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 or outflows 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 our competition; changes in legislation or regulation and accounting principles, policies and guidelines; occurrences of cyberattacks, hacking and identity theft; natural disasters; 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, 2017, 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 MeasuresIn 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.
