FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington Trust Announces Quarterly Earnings Increase


Westerly, Rhode Island…Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Market; symbol: WASH), parent company of The Washington Trust Company, today announced second quarter 2007 net income of $6.3 million, or 46 cents per diluted share.  Net income for the second quarter of last year totaled $6.2 million, or 45 cents per diluted share.  The returns on average equity and average assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were 14.37% and 1.06%, respectively, compared to 15.28% and 1.02%, respectively, for the same period in 2006.

“We’re pleased to report increased earnings for the second quarter 2007”, stated John C. Warren, Washington Trust Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “We had solid growth in both our Wealth Management and Commercial Lending areas and our asset quality remains strong.” Warren added, “Our performance is particularly noteworthy taking into consideration a slow growth economy and an unfavorable interest rate environment.”

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 amounted to $12.3 million, or 90 cents per diluted share, compared to the $12.3 million, or 89 cents per diluted share, reported for the same period a year ago.  The returns on average equity and average assets for the first half of 2007 were 14.01% and 1.03%, respectively, compared to 15.19% and 1.02%, respectively, for the comparable period in 2006.

Net interest income totaled $14.8 million for the second quarter of 2007, essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2007 and down $371 thousand, or 2.4 percent, from the second quarter a year ago.  The net interest margin for the second quarter 2007 was 2.75%, down 6 basis points from the first quarter and unchanged from the second quarter of 2006.  The decline in net interest margin from the first quarter was primarily attributable to an additional $322 thousand interest recovery received in the first quarter on a previously charged off loan, which accounted for 6 basis points of first quarter net interest margin.  While the net interest margin was unchanged from the second quarter of 2006, no dividend income was recognized nor

included in net interest income in that quarter on the Corporation’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) stock due to a timing change in the FHLBB dividend payment schedule.  FHLBB dividend income recognized in the second quarter of 2007 represented approximately 9 basis points of the net interest margin.

Total noninterest income amounted to $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2007, up $1.1 million from the same quarter a year ago.  On a year to date basis, noninterest income increased $2.8 million, or 13 percent, from 2006.  This increase was largely attributable to higher revenues from wealth management services.  Wealth management revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were up $756 thousand, or 11 percent, from the second quarter of 2006.  For the first six months of 2007, wealth management revenues increased $1.2 million, or 9 percent, from the same period in 2006.  Wealth management assets under administration totaled $3.948 billion at June 30, 2007, up $142 million, or 4 percent, in the second quarter of 2007 and up $254 million, or 7 percent, from December 31, 2006.  This growth was due to financial market appreciation and business development efforts.

Included in noninterest income were net realized gains on sales of securities of $705 thousand and $765 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  These amounts included $397 thousand and $381 thousand of gains recognized in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, resulting from the Corporation’s annual contribution of appreciated equity securities to the Corporation’s charitable foundation in 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The cost of the annual contributions, which was included in noninterest expenses, amounted to $520 thousand and $513 thousand for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The remainder of net realized securities gains recognized in the second quarter of 2007 included $195 thousand attributable to certain debt and equity securities that were called prior to maturity by the issuers and $113 thousand of net realized gains on the sale of debt and equity securities.  As previously disclosed, net realized gains on sales of securities totaling $1.0 million were recognized in the first quarter of 2007.

Noninterest expenses amounted to $17.9 million for the second quarter of 2007, up $595 thousand, or 3 percent, from the same quarter a year ago.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, noninterest expenses totaled $35.0 million, up $2.0 million, or 6 percent, from the same period in 2006.  During the first quarter of 2007, the Corporation prepaid $26.5 million in higher cost advances from the FHLBB, resulting in a debt prepayment penalty charge, recorded in noninterest expense, of $1.1 million.  Excluding debt prepayment penalty expense, noninterest expenses increased $933 thousand, or 3 percent, over the same six-month period last year.

Total assets were $2.4 billion at June 30, 2007, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2006.  Loan growth amounted to $29.2 million in the first six months of 2007, including $35.6 million, or 6 percent, in commercial loan growth.  Residential loans declined by $5.3 million, or 1 percent, and consumer loans have decreased by $1.1 million, or 0.4 percent, in the first half of 2007.  The investment securities portfolio totaled $679.9 million at June 30, 2007, down $24.0 million from December 31, 2006.

Total deposits decreased by $8.9 million from December 31, 2006.  Excluding brokered certificates of deposit, in-market deposits were up $7.4 million, or 0.5 percent, in the first six months of 2007.  Declines in demand and savings deposits were offset by increases in consumer and commercial certificates of deposit.  FHLBB advances totaled $468.8 million at June 30, 2007, down $5.7 million from December 31, 2006.  Other borrowings increased $12.9 million in the first six months of 2007, mainly due to an increase in securities sold under repurchase agreements, partially offset by payment in the first quarter of $6.7 million in deferred acquisition costs.

Asset quality, as measured by the level of nonperforming assets, remained strong in the first half of 2007.  Nonperforming assets totaled $3.0 million, or 0.12% of total assets, at June 30, 2007, compared to $2.4 million, or 0.10% of total assets, a year ago.  There are no assets acquired through foreclosure on the balance sheet at June 30, 2007.  The Corporation has never offered a sub-prime or Alt-A residential mortgage loan program and we have not experienced any recent significant deterioration of asset quality as measured by delinquencies in residential and consumer loans.  Total residential mortgage and consumer loan 30-day+ delinquencies amounted to $1.8 million, or 0.21% of these loans, at June 30, 2007, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.16% of these loans, at December 31, 2006.

The allowance for loan losses was $19.3 million, or 1.30% of total loans, at June 30, 2007, compared to $18.9 million, or 1.29% of total loans, at December 31, 2006 and $18.5 million, or 1.29% of total loans, at June 30, 2006.  Net charge-offs amounted to $167 thousand for the first half of 2007, compared to net charge-offs of $38 thousand for the same period a year ago.  The Corporation’s loan loss provision charged to earnings amounted to $300 thousand and $600 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, consistent with the amounts recorded in 2006.
