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.

Liquid CDs were reclassified as time deposits in 2001 due to the early withdrawal penalties associated with the accounts. Prior to 2001, these deposits were included in the transaction deposit base due to the nature of the product. Including Liquid CD accounts at 6/30/02 in the transaction deposit base would change the transaction/time deposit mix to 73%/27%

Forward-Looking Statements

        "This presentation contains forward-looking statements, which are not historical facts and pertain to future operating results. These forward-looking statements are within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. 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

         GRAPHIC


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

         GRAPHIC


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

Strategies to Mitigate NII Sensitivity

    Remix the balance sheet

    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

Transactions to Mitigate NII Sensitivity to Rising Rates

2001 Transactions

    Issued $15.8 billion in fixed-rate financing with a maturity of one year or more

    Executed $11.4 billion in swaptions for rising rate protection

    Executed $9.7 billion in pay-fixed swaps

2002 Transactions through June 30th

Purchased $22.1 billion in pay fixed rate swaps

Executed $5.8 billion in fixed rate financing with a maturity of one year or more

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

         GRAPHIC


(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
