      WESTERLY, R.I., Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: WASH), parent company of The Washington Trust Company, today announced fourth quarter 2023 net income of $12.9 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.2 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 totaled of $48.2 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, compared to $71.7 million, or $4.11 per diluted share, reported for the prior year.

      In October 2023, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts enacted into law a tax bill changing how corporations calculate their Massachusetts taxable income effective on January 1, 2025.  As required, the Corporation revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities and in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased its net deferred tax assets by $3.3 million with a corresponding decrease to income tax expense.  This increased fourth quarter and full-year 2023 earnings per diluted share by $0.19.

      "Washington Trust's year-end results reflect the Corporation's continued perseverance in facing economic headwinds and addressing numerous challenges posed by a difficult operating environment," stated Edward O. Handy III, Washington Trust Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "While we remain cautious about economic growth in 2024, we believe our diversified business model, disciplined credit culture, and dedicated team will guide us going forward."

      Selected financial highlights for the fourth quarter and full-year 2023 include:

      • Returns on average equity and average assets for the fourth quarter were 11.77% and 0.71%, respectively, compared to 9.65% and 0.62%, respectively, for the preceding quarter. Full-year returns on average equity and average assets for 2023 were 10.57% and 0.69%, respectively, compared to 14.49% and 1.17%, respectively, for the prior year.
      • The net interest margin was 1.88% in the fourth quarter, compared to 1.97% in the preceding quarter. Full-year net interest margin for 2023 was 2.05%, down 64 basis points from the 2.69% reported in the prior year.
      • In the fourth quarter, a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million was recognized, up by $700 thousand from the provision recognized in the preceding quarter. The provision for credit losses in 2023 totaled $3.2 million, compared to a negative provision of $1.3 million recognized in the prior year.
      • Total loans amounted to $5.6 billion, up by 1% from the end of the preceding quarter.
      • In-market deposits (total deposits less wholesale brokered deposits) amounted to $4.7 billion, down by 1% from September 30, 2023.

      Net Interest Income
      Net interest income was $32.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, down by $1.1 million, or 3%, from the third quarter of 2023.  The net interest margin was 1.88% for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 9 basis points from the preceding quarter.  The declines in net interest income and net interest margin reflect the impact of rapid interest rate increases.  Linked quarter changes included:

      • Average interest-earning assets increased by $103 million, due to an increase of $139 million in average loans, partially offset by declines in investment securities. The yield on interest-earning assets for the fourth quarter was 4.81%, up by 12 basis points from the preceding quarter.
      • Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $126 million, with increases in average wholesale funding balances of $105 million and average in-market deposits of $21 million. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 3.49%, up by 23 basis points from the preceding quarter.

      Noninterest Income
      Noninterest income totaled $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, down by $1.9 million, or 13%, from the third quarter of 2023.  Linked quarter changes included:

      • Wealth management revenues amounted to $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, down by $67 thousand, or 1%, on a linked quarter basis. This correlated with a decrease in the average balance of wealth management assets under administration ("AUA"), which was down by approximately $58 million, or 1%, from the preceding quarter.

        The end of period AUA balance at December 31, 2023 amounted to $6.6 billion, up by $457 million, or 7%, from September 30, 2023.  This increase reflected net investment appreciation of $503 million, partially offset by net client asset outflows of $46 million.
      • Mortgage banking revenues totaled $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, down by $554 thousand, or 26%, from the preceding quarter, with lower realized gains on loan sales, partially offset by changes in the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and forward loan commitments. Realized gains decreased by $613 thousand, or 35%, from the preceding quarter, due to a lower volume of loans sold and a lower sales yield. Loans sold amounted to $67.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, down by $21.2 million, or 24%, from the preceding quarter.
      • Loan related derivative income from interest rate swap contracts with commercial borrowers in the fourth quarter of 2023 totaled $112 thousand, down by $970 thousand, or 90%, from the preceding quarter, reflecting a decline in volume.

      Noninterest Expense
      Noninterest expense totaled $32.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, down by $1.8 million, or 5%, from the third quarter of 2023.  Linked quarter changes included:

      • Salaries and employee benefits expense amounted to $18.5 million, down by $3.2 million, or 15%, from the preceding quarter reflecting adjustments to performance-based compensation accruals.
      • Other noninterest expenses totaled $3.6 million, up by $1.3 million, or 56%, from the preceding quarter, largely due to a $1.0 million contribution made by Washington Trust to its charitable foundation.

      Income Tax
      In the fourth quarter of 2023, a $774 thousand income tax benefit was recognized, reflecting an effective tax rate of negative 6.4%.  As previously mentioned, income tax expense was reduced by a net $3.3 million adjustment largely associated with the revaluation of the Corporation's net deferred tax assets due to the enactment of a tax bill into law by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The revaluation of our net deferred tax assets is subject to further guidance and interpretation of the law that may be issued.  Excluding this adjustment, the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 would have been 20.4%, compared to 20.8% for 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 21.2%.

      Investment Securities
      The securities portfolio totaled $1.0 billion at December 31, 2023, up by $41 million, or 4%, from September 30, 2023, reflecting an increase of $59 million in the fair value of available for sale debt securities due to changes in market interest rates, partially offset by routine pay-downs and maturities.  The securities portfolio represented 14% of total assets at December 31, 2023, compared to 13% of total assets at September 30, 2023.

      Loans
      Total loans amounted to $5.6 billion at December 31, 2023, up by $37 million, or 1%, from the end of the preceding quarter and up by $538 million, or 11%, from the balance at December 31, 2022.  These changes included:

      • Commercial loans increased by $36 million, or 1%, from September 30, 2023, reflecting originations and advances of $99 million, partially offset by principal payments of $63 million. Commercial loans increased by $226 million, or 9%, from December 31, 2022, reflecting originations and advances of $472 million, partially offset by principal payments of $246 million.
      • Residential real estate loans decreased by $7 million, or 0.3%, from September 30, 2023 and increased by $281 million, or 12%, from December 31, 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2023, residential real estate loans originated for portfolio amounted to $40 million, down by $122 million, or 75%, from the preceding quarter. Full-year 2023 residential real estate loans originated for portfolio amounted to $460 million, down by $422 million, or 48%, from 2022.
      • The consumer loan portfolio increased by $7 million, or 2%, from September 30, 2023, and up by $30 million, or 10%, from December 31, 2022, largely reflecting growth in home equity lines and loans.

      Deposits and Borrowings
      Total deposits amounted to $5.3 billion at December 31, 2023, down by $67 million, or 1%, from the end of the preceding quarter and up by $329 million, or 7%, from a year ago.  Uninsured deposits, after exclusions (as detailed in the financial tables below) amounted to $964 million, or 18% of total deposits, at December 31, 2023.

      In-market deposits, which exclude wholesale brokered deposits, amounted to $4.7 billion at December 31, 2023, down by $53 million, or 1%, from September 30, 2023 and up by $33 million, or 1%, from a year ago.  As of December 31, 2023, in-market deposits were approximately 60% retail and 40% commercial.  The average size of our in-market deposit accounts was approximately $36 thousand at December 31, 2023.

      Wholesale brokered deposits amounted to $654 million and were down by $14 million, or 2%, from September 30, 2023 and up by $296 million, or 83%, from a year ago. 

      FHLB advances totaled $1.2 billion at December 31, 2023, up by $70 million, or 6%, from September 30, 2023 and up by $210 million, or 21%, from a year ago.  As of December 31, 2023, contingent liquidity amounted to $1.9 billion and consisted of noninterest-bearing cash, unencumbered securities and unused collateralized borrowing capacity.

      Asset Quality
      Nonaccrual loans were $44.6 million, or 0.79% of total loans, at December 31, 2023, compared to $33.7 million, or 0.60% of total loans, at September 30, 2023.  The increase in nonaccrual loans was largely due to one commercial real estate loan that was placed on nonaccrual status in the quarter.  The composition of nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2023 was 75% commercial and 25% residential and consumer.

      Past due loans were $11.3 million, or 0.20% of total loans, at December 31, 2023, compared to $9.7 million, or 0.17% of total loans, at September 30, 2023.  The composition of past due loans at December 31, 2023 was essentially 100% residential and consumer.

      The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans amounted to $41.1 million, or 0.73% of total loans, at December 31, 2023, compared to $40.2 million, or 0.72% of total loans, at September 30, 2023.  The ACL on unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $1.9 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $2.0 million at September 30, 2023.

      The provision for credit losses totaled $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, up by $700 thousand from the preceding quarter.  The provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2023 was composed of a provision for credit losses on loans of $1.3 million and a negative provision (or a benefit) for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $50 thousand.

      In the fourth quarter of 2023, net charge-offs of $406 thousand were recognized, compared to $30 thousand in the preceding quarter.  Full-year net charge-offs totaled $520 thousand in 2023, compared to net recoveries of $368 thousand in the prior year.

      Capital and Dividends
      Total shareholders' equity was $472.7 million at December 31, 2023, up by $41.3 million, or 10%, from September 30, 2023.   This included an increase of $37.6 million in the accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") component of shareholders' equity and net income of $12.9 million, partially offset by $9.6 million in dividend declarations.  The increase in AOCI included an increase in the fair value of available for sale securities due to changes in market interest rates, partially offset by a decrease of $5.0 million associated with the annual remeasurement of pension liabilities.

      The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 56 cents per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.  The dividend was paid on January 12, 2024 to shareholders of record on January 2, 2024.  Full-year dividends declared totaled $2.24 per share in 2023, an increase of 6 cents per share, or 3%, from 2022.

      Capital levels at December 31, 2023 exceeded the regulatory minimum levels to be considered well capitalized, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.58% at December 31, 2023, compared to 11.48% at September 30, 2023.  Book value per share was $27.75 at December 31, 2023, compared to $25.35 at September 30, 2023.

      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, 2022, 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 average balance and interest rate information.  Tax-exempt income is converted to a fully taxable equivalent ("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 and changes in fair value on mortgage loans held for sale 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.
