These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this document that are not historical facts. When used in this presentation, the words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may" are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements for the reasons, among others, discussed under the heading "Business—Factors That May Affect Future Results" in Washington Mutual's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the heading, "Cautionary Statements," in Washington Mutual's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002, which include: changes in general business and economic conditions may significantly affect our earnings; the risk that our inability to effectively manage the volatility of our mortgage banking business could adversely affect our earnings; the risk that the impact of rising interest rates may result in an increase in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which could outpace the increase in the yield on interest-earning assets and lead to a reduction in the net interest margin; the risk that our inability to effectively integrate the operations and personnel of companies we have acquired could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition; the concentration of operations in California could adversely affect our operating results if the California economy or real estate market declines; competition from other financial services companies in our markets could adversely affect our ability to achieve our financial goals; changes in the regulation of financial services companies could adversely affect our business.

Business Segment Financial Information

        Business segment financial information is prepared for management information purposes and uses methodologies which do not conform to generally accepted accounting principles. These methodologies include internal allocations of the cost of funds, hedge gains or losses, loan loss provisions and certain overhead items.

Management Objective

•

Moderate volatility in net income and the fair value of mortgage servicing rights caused by changes in rates over interest rate cycle

Interest Rate Impacts

•

Net interest income



•

Gain from mortgage loans



•

Servicing and other fee income



•

Noninterest expense



•

Balance sheet size



•

Fair value of mortgage servicing rights



•

Market value of risk management instruments

Impact of Rate Movements

Interest Rate Risk Drivers—Net Interest Income

•

Net interest income generally decreases when short-term interest rates are rising and increases when short-term rates are falling



•

Lagged adjustments in ARM rates lead to volatility in net interest margin



•

Changes in balance sheet size generally move in the opposite direction of the net interest margin offsetting some of the margin volatility

Net Interest Margin Throughout the Cycle

Interest Rate Risk Drivers—Balance Sheet Size

•

The size of the balance sheet normally increases in rising rate environments and decreases in falling interest rate environments



•

In rising interest rate environments, loan production normally decreases while prepayments slow and ARM production increases resulting in potential balance sheet growth



•

In falling rate environments, loan production and prepayments increase while the loan mix shifts to fixed-rate mortgages which are sold resulting in the potential for balance sheet shrinkage

Balance Sheet Grows as Rates Rise

•

NII usually declines due to margin compression



•

Balance sheet growth partially offsets this margin compression

Historical Rising Rate Scenario	Q3 1999			Q4 1999
Net Interest Margin		2.64	%		2.41	%
Ending Assets	$	181	B	$	187	B

Balance Sheet Contracts as Rates Fall

•

NII usually increases due to liability rates repricing to lower levels faster than asset yields



•

Higher prepayments reduce the balance sheet and partially offset the NII enhancement

Historical Falling Rate Scenario	Q2 2001			Q3 2001
Net Interest Margin		3.21	%		3.53	%
Ending Assets	$	229	B	$	224	B

Add higher yielding and less rate sensitive specialty, consumer and commercial loans



•

Increase deposits with lower pricing sensitivity




•

Diversify revenue sources



•

Grow checking accounts and fee based services



•

Grow securities fees and insurance income




•

Implement financial strategies



•

Actively manage differences in maturities or repricing periods of our assets and liabilities



•

Execute longer-term fixed-rate borrowings, interest rate swaps, swaptions and caps

Net Income Sensitivity Results

•

We measure net income sensitivity based on parallel shifts in the yield curve with rates falling or rising in even quarterly increments over twelve months for a total decrease of 100 bps and a total increase of 200 bps



•

This analysis includes assumptions for mortgage prepayments, transaction account decay, loan sales, loan and deposit production, repricing of current and new mortgage and deposit products, gain from mortgage loans, changes in the fair value of MSR and related hedges and changes in noninterest income and noninterest expense

Net Income and Net Interest Income Sensitivity

		Down 100 bps		Up 200 bps
Net Income change for the one-year period beginning:
	July 1, 2002	(0.76	)%	0.21	%
	January 1, 2002	2.19		(2.76	)
Net Interest Income change for the one-year period beginning:
	July 1, 2002	(0.44	)%	(2.30	)%
	January 1, 2002	1.47		(5.18	)

Interest Rate Risk Drivers—Mortgage Banking

•

Gain from mortgage loans



•

Gain from mortgage loans normally decreases when rates are rising and increases when rates are falling



•

The gain changes based on production, loan mix and competition (loan pricing)




•

Loan servicing and other fee income



•

Loan servicing fees typically increase as rates rise and decrease as rates fall




•

Mortgage Servicing Rights



•

Potential impairment in falling interest rate environment and recovery of previous impairments in rising rate environment



•

Impairment only occurs when fair value falls below book value



•

Recovery of impairment is limited to gross book value

Changes in Mortgage Servicing Rights

(a)

Includes $12 million of commercial real estate MSRs

(b)

$711 million of total represents sale of excess servicing in Q2 '02

Strategies to Mitigate MSR Fair Value Sensitivity

•

The fair value of MSR may decline as expected prepayment rates rise



•

The sources of income to offset the impairment:



•

Natural business hedge



•

Increased net interest income



•

Higher gains from mortgage loans




•

Gains on financial hedges




•

Minimizing excess servicing on loan sales



•

Sales of excess servicing

Strategies to Mitigate MSR Fair Value Sensitivity

•

Composition of Current MSR Financial Hedges



•

Bonds



•

Mortgage securities



•

Receive-fixed rate interest rate swaps



•

Interest rate floors



•

Receiver swaptions




•

Considerations in Instrument Selection



•

Effectiveness—duration, convexity, volatility



•

Liquidity



•

Capital



•

Cost

Transactions to Mitigate MSR Sensitivity

        2002 Transactions as of June 30th

•

Executed $11.6 billion in receive-fixed rate swaps



•

Executed $7.7 billion in receive-fixed rate swaptions



•

Purchased $12.4 billion in interest rate floors



•

Par value of bonds totaled $31.5 billion at 6/30/02
