FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington Trust Announces Record Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share for First Quarter 2012

Westerly, Rhode Island…Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select; symbol: WASH), parent company of The Washington Trust Company, today announced first quarter 2012 net income of $8.4 million, or 51 cents per diluted share, compared to fourth quarter 2011 net income of $7.8 million, or 47 cents per diluted share, and first quarter 2011 net income of $6.8 million, or 42 cents per diluted share. First quarter 2012 diluted earnings per share represented a 9% increase over the fourth quarter 2011 and a 21% increase over the first quarter of 2011. The returns on average equity and average assets for the first quarter of 2012 were 11.85% and 1.11%, respectively, compared to 10.04% and 0.94%, respectively, for the same period in 2011.

“Washington Trust posted solid first quarter results, with net income up 24 percent over a year ago,” stated Joseph J. MarcAurele, Washington Trust Chairman, President and Chief Executive Office. “We are pleased with our performance, as we’ve been able to strategically grow the Corporation, despite continued economic challenges.”

Selected financial highlights for the first quarter included:
Net interest margin increased to 3.27%, up five basis points from the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily due to reductions in the cost of time deposits and borrowings.
Mortgage banking revenues (net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others) reached an all time high at $3.1 million for the quarter. These results reflected continued origination volume growth in our residential mortgage lending offices.
Asset quality indicators showed noticeable improvement in the first quarter of 2012. The balances of nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans, nonaccrual investment securities and property acquired through foreclosure or repossession), loan delinquencies and troubled debt restructurings all declined from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012.
The loan loss provision charged to earnings in the first quarter of 2012 was $900 thousand, the lowest quarterly provision since the first quarter of 2008.

Wealth management revenues were up 4% on a linked quarter basis. Wealth management assets under administration amounted to $4.2 billion at March 31, 2012.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased by 2% from the fourth quarter of 2011 due to the continued reduction in wholesale funding and time deposit costs. Compared to the first quarter of 2011, net interest income rose by $2.1 million, or 10%, reflecting the benefit of lower funding costs as well as a 7% increase in average loan balances. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2012 was 3.27%, compared to 3.22% for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 3.16% for the first quarter of 2011.

Noninterest Income
Mortgage banking revenues, fueled by continued strong mortgage origination activity, totaled $3.1 million, up by $162 thousand from the previous quarter and up by $2.6 million from the first quarter of 2011. Washington Trust currently operates four mortgage lending offices in addition to its full-service branch locations.

Wealth management revenues for the first quarter of 2012 were $7.2 million, an increase of $260 thousand on a linked quarter basis and $105 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2011. Wealth management assets under administration totaled $4.2 billion at March 31, 2012, up by $296.4 million, or 8%, from December 31, 2011.

First quarter 2012 noninterest income included other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses on investment securities of $209 thousand, compared to OTTI losses of $33 thousand recorded in the first quarter of 2011. There were no OTTI losses recorded in the previous quarter.

There were no net realized gains on sales of securities in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $501 thousand recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011 and net realized losses of $29 thousand recorded in the first quarter of 2011.

Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses totaled $23.4 million for the first quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter 2011 noninterest expenses included a $990 thousand charitable contribution and debt prepayment charges of $473 thousand. Excluding the contribution and debt prepayment charges, noninterest expenses increased by $88 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2011. Compared to the first quarter of 2011, noninterest expenses increased by $2.7 million, including a $2.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefit costs. This increase reflected higher amounts of commissions paid to mortgage originators, higher staffing levels in support of mortgage origination and other business lines and higher defined benefit plan cost primarily due to a lower discount rate.

Loans
Total loans rose by $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2012, led by a $17.2 million increase in commercial real estate loans. Total loans are up by $125.7 million, or 6%, from March 31, 2011, including an 8% increase in total commercial loans.

Investment Securities
The investment securities portfolio amounted to $558.3 million at March 31, 2012, a decline of $35.1 million from the balance at December 31, 2011, primarily due to principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities. At March 31, 2012, the net unrealized gain position on investment securities was $18.2 million.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements”. We may also make written or oral 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 the control of Washington Trust. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Washington Trust 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 national, regional or international economic conditions or conditions affecting the banking or financial services industries or financial capital markets, volatility and disruption in national and international financial markets, government intervention in the U.S. financial system, 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 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 Washington Trust's competition, changes in legislation or regulation and accounting principles, policies and guidelines such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, 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, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, 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 press release, and Washington Trust assumes 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 basis using the statutory federal income tax rate adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of the related federal tax benefit. For dividends on corporate stocks, the 70% federal dividends received deduction is also used in the calculation of tax equivalency. Unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities are excluded from the average balance and yield calculations. Nonaccrual and renegotiated loans, as well as interest earned on these loans (to the extent recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income) are included in amounts presented for loans.
