CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)	General Information

Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the “Bancorp”) is a publicly-owned registered bank holding company and financial holding company. The Bancorp owns all of the outstanding common stock of The Washington Trust Company (the “Bank”), a Rhode Island chartered commercial bank founded in 1800. Through its subsidiaries, the Bancorp offers a complete product line of financial services including commercial, residential and consumer lending, retail and commercial deposit products, and wealth management services through its offices in Rhode Island, eastern Massachusetts and Connecticut.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bancorp and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Corporation” or “Washington Trust”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practices of the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change are the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the review of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment and the assessment of investment securities for impairment.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures considered necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been included. Interim results are not necessarily reflective of the results of the entire year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.


(2)	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures - Topic 323

Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects” (“ASU 2014-01”), was issued in January 2014 and permits a reporting entity to make an accounting policy election to account for investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The amendments are expected to enable more entities to record the amortization of the investment in income tax expense together with the tax credits and other tax benefits generated from the partnership. ASU 2014-01 is effective retrospectively for public business entities for annual and interim reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors - Topic 310

Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-04, “Reclassifications of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure” (“ASU 2014-04”), was issued in January 2014 and clarifies when banks and similar institutions (creditors) should reclassify mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate properties from the loan portfolio to other real estate owned (OREO). ASU 2014-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. An entity can elect either a modified retrospective or prospective transition method, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.


(3)	Cash and Due from Banks

The Bank maintains certain average reserve balances to meet the requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”). Some or all of these reserve requirements may be satisfied with vault cash. Reserve balances amounted to $6.5 million at March 31, 2014 and $6.7 million at December 31, 2013 and were included in cash and due from banks in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, cash and due from banks included interest-bearing deposits in other banks of $61.2 million and $51.8 million, respectively.

Included in the above table were debt securities with an amortized cost balance of $88.5 million and a fair value of $85.1 million at March 31, 2014 that are callable at the discretion of the issuers. Final maturities of the callable securities range from eighteen months to twenty-two years, with call features ranging from one month to three years.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Assessment

The Corporation assesses whether the decline in fair value of investment securities is other-than-temporary on a regular basis. Unrealized losses on debt securities may occur from current market conditions, increases in interest rates since the time of purchase, a structural change in an investment, volatility of earnings of a specific issuer, or deterioration in credit quality of the issuer. Management evaluates impairments in value both qualitatively and quantitatively to assess whether they are other-than-temporary.

Further deterioration in credit quality of the underlying issuers of the securities, further deterioration in the condition of the financial services industry, a continuation or worsening of the current economic environment, or additional declines in real estate values, among other things, may further affect the fair value of these securities and increase the potential that certain unrealized losses be designated as other-than-temporary in future periods, and the Corporation may incur additional write-downs.

Trust Preferred Debt Securities of Individual Name Issuers

Included in debt securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2014 were eleven trust preferred security holdings issued by seven individual companies in the financial services industry, specifically, the banking sector. Management believes the decline in fair value of these trust preferred securities primarily reflects investor concerns about global economic growth and how it will affect potential future losses in the financial services industry. These concerns resulted in increased risk premiums for securities in this sector. Based on the information available through the filing date of this report, all individual name issuer trust preferred debt securities held in our portfolio continue to accrue and make payments as expected with no payment deferrals or defaults on the part of the issuers. As of March 31, 2014, individual name issuer trust preferred debt securities with an amortized cost of $11.9 million and unrealized losses of $2.1 million were rated below investment grade by Standard & Poors, Inc. (“S&P”). Management reviewed the collectibility of these securities taking into consideration such factors as the financial condition of the issuers, reported regulatory capital ratios of the issuers, credit ratings including ratings in effect as of the reporting period date as well as credit rating changes between the reporting period date and the filing date of this report and other information. We noted no additional downgrades to below investment grade between the reporting period date and the filing date of this report. Based on these analyses, management concluded that it expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Furthermore, Washington Trust does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that Washington Trust will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be maturity. Therefore, management does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.

Nonaccrual Loans

Loans, with the exception of certain well-secured loans that are in the process of collection, are placed on nonaccrual status and interest recognition is suspended when such loans are 90 days or more overdue with respect to principal and/or interest or sooner if considered appropriate by management. Well-secured loans are permitted to remain on accrual status provided that full collection of principal and interest is assured and the loan is in the process of collection. Loans are also placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. Interest previously accrued but not collected on such loans is reversed against current period income. Subsequent interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to the outstanding principal balance of the loan or recognized as interest income depending on management’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of the loan. Loans are removed from nonaccrual status when they have been current as to principal and interest for a period of time, the borrower has demonstrated an ability to comply with repayment terms, and when, in management’s opinion, the loans are considered to be fully collectible.

The following is a summary of nonaccrual loans, segregated by class of loans:

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements and loans restructured in a troubled debt restructuring.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loans are considered restructured in a troubled debt restructuring when the Corporation has granted concessions to a borrower due to the borrower’s financial condition that it otherwise would not have considered. These concessions may include modifications of the terms of the debt such as deferral of payments, extension of maturity, reduction of principal balance, reduction of the stated interest rate other than normal market rate adjustments, or a combination of these concessions. Debt may be bifurcated with separate terms for each tranche of the restructured debt. Restructuring a loan in lieu of aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan may benefit the Corporation by increasing the ultimate probability of collection.

Restructured loans are classified as accruing or non-accruing based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of the loan. Loans which are already on nonaccrual status at the time of the restructuring generally remain on nonaccrual status for approximately six months before management considers such loans for return to accruing status. Accruing restructured loans are placed into nonaccrual status if and when the borrower fails to comply with the restructured terms and management deems it unlikely that the borrower will return to a status of compliance in the near term.

Troubled debt restructurings are reported as such for at least one year from the date of the restructuring. In years after the restructuring, troubled debt restructured loans are removed from this classification if the restructuring did not involve a below market rate concession and the loan is not deemed to be impaired based on the terms specified in the restructuring agreement.

Troubled debt restructurings are classified as impaired loans. The Corporation identifies loss allocations for impaired loans on an individual loan basis. The recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings was $26.4 million at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. These amounts included accrued interest of $50 thousand and $44 thousand, respectively. The allowance for loan losses included specific reserves for these troubled debt restructurings of $347 thousand and $556 thousand, respectively, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2014, there were no significant commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans had been restructured.

Credit Quality Indicators

Commercial

The Corporation utilizes an internal rating system to assign a risk to each of its commercial loans. Loans are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. This scale can be assigned to three broad categories including “pass” for ratings 1 through 6, “special mention” for 7-rated loans, and “classified” for loans rated 8, 9 or 10. The loan rating system takes into consideration parameters including the borrower’s financial condition, the borrower’s performance with respect to loan terms, and the adequacy of collateral. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the weighted average risk rating of the Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio was 4.61 and 4.64, respectively. For non-impaired loans, the Corporation assigns a loss allocation factor to each loan, based on its risk rating for purposes of establishing an appropriate allowance for loan losses. See Note 6 for additional information.

Descriptions of the commercial loan categories are as follows:

Pass - Loans with acceptable credit quality, defined as ranging from superior or very strong to a status of lesser stature. Superior or very strong credit quality is characterized by a high degree of cash collateralization or strong balance sheet liquidity. Lesser stature loans have an acceptable level of credit quality but exhibit some weakness in various credit metrics such as collateral adequacy, cash flow, or performance inconsistency or may be in an industry or of a loan type known to have a higher degree of risk.

Special Mention - Loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s position as creditor at some future date. Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Examples of these conditions include but are not limited to outdated or poor quality financial data, strains on liquidity and leverage, losses or negative trends in operating results, marginal cash flow, weaknesses in occupancy rates or trends in the case of commercial real estate and frequent delinquencies.

Classified - Loans identified as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” based on criteria consistent with guidelines provided by banking regulators. A “substandard” loan has defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely, but not yet certain. Such loans are apt to be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment or an event outside of the normal course of business. The loans are closely watched and are either already on nonaccrual status or may be placed on nonaccrual status when management determines there is uncertainty of collectibility. A “doubtful” loan is placed on

WASHINGTON TRUST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

non-accrual status and has a high probability of loss, but the extent of the loss is difficult to quantify due to dependency upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty. A loan in the “loss” category is considered generally uncollectible or the timing or amount of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan has no recovery value but rather it is not practical or desirable to continue to carry the asset.

The Corporation’s procedures call for loan ratings and classifications to be revised whenever information becomes available that indicates a change is warranted. The criticized loan portfolio, which consists of commercial and commercial real estate loans that are risk rated special mention or worse, are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis, focusing on the current status and strategies to improve the credit. An annual loan review program is conducted by a third party to provide an independent evaluation of the creditworthiness of the commercial loan portfolio, the quality of the underwriting and credit risk management practices and the appropriateness of the risk rating classifications. This review is supplemented with selected targeted internal reviews of the commercial loan portfolio.

The following table presents the commercial loan portfolio, segregated by category of credit quality indicator:

Total commercial loans		$1,284,280		$1,301,089		$39,012		$43,072		$13,991		$19,174

Residential and Consumer

The residential and consumer portfolios are monitored on an ongoing basis by the Corporation using delinquency information and loan type as credit quality indicators. These credit quality indicators are assessed on an aggregate basis in these relatively homogeneous portfolios. For non-impaired loans, the Corporation assigns loss allocation factors to each respective loan type and delinquency status. See Note 6 for additional information.

Various other techniques are utilized to monitor indicators of credit deterioration in the portfolios of residential real estate mortgages and home equity lines and loans. Among these techniques is the periodic tracking of loans with an updated FICO score and an estimated loan to value (“LTV”) ratio. LTV is determined via statistical modeling analyses. The indicated LTV levels are estimated based on such factors as the location, the original LTV, and the date of origination of the loan and do not reflect actual appraisal amounts. The results of these analyses are taken into consideration in the determination of loss allocation factors for residential mortgage and home equity consumer credits. See Note 6 for additional information.

The following table presents the residential and consumer loan portfolios, segregated by category of credit quality indicator:

(6)	Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is management’s best estimate of inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and by recoveries of amounts previously charged off, and is reduced by charge-offs on loans. The Corporation uses a methodology to systematically measure the amount of estimated loan loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio for purposes of establishing a sufficient allowance for loan losses. The methodology includes three elements: (1) identification of loss allocations for individual loans deemed to be impaired, (2) loss allocation factors for non-impaired loans based on credit grade, historical loss experience, delinquency factors and other similar credit quality indicators, and (3) an unallocated allowance maintained for measurement imprecision and to reflect management’s consideration of other environmental factors.

Periodic assessments and revisions to the loss allocation factors used in the assignment of loss exposure are made to appropriately reflect the analysis of migrational loss experience. The Corporation analyzes historical loss experience in the various portfolios over periods deemed to be relevant to the inherent risk of loss in the respective portfolios as of the balance sheet date. The Corporation adjusts the loss allocations for various factors it believes are not adequately presented in historical loss experience, including trends in real estate values, trends in rental rates on commercial real estate, trends in unemployment rates in primary markets, consideration of general economic conditions, and our assessments of credit risk associated with certain industries and an ongoing trend toward larger credit relationships. These factors are also evaluated taking into account the geographic location of the underlying loans. Revisions to loss allocation factors are not retroactively applied.

Loss allocations for loans deemed to be impaired are measured on a discounted cash flow method based upon the loan’s contractual effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, at the fair value of the collateral. For collateral dependent loans for which repayment is dependent on the sale of the collateral, management adjusts the fair value for estimated costs to sell. For collateral dependent loans for which repayment is dependent on the operation of the collateral, such as accruing troubled debt restructured loans, estimated costs to sell are not incorporated into the measurement. Management may also adjust appraised values to reflect estimated market value declines or apply other discounts to appraised values for unobservable factors resulting from its knowledge of circumstances associated with the property.

Loss allocation factors are used for non-impaired loans based on credit grade, historical loss experience, delinquency factors and other similar credit quality indicators. Individual commercial loans and commercial mortgage loans not deemed to be impaired are evaluated using the internal rating system described in Note 5 under the caption “Credit Quality Indicators” and the application of loss allocation factors. The loan rating system and the related loss allocation factors take into consideration parameters including the borrower’s financial condition, the borrower’s performance with respect to loan terms, and the adequacy of collateral. Portfolios of more homogeneous populations of loans including the various categories of residential mortgages and consumer loans are analyzed as groups, taking into account delinquency status and historical loss experience and other qualitative environmental factors for each type of credit product.

An unallocated allowance is maintained to allow for measurement imprecision attributable to uncertainty in the economic environment and ever changing conditions and to reflect management’s consideration of qualitative and quantitative assessments of other environmental factors, including, but not limited to, conditions that may affect the collateral position such as environmental matters, regulatory changes affecting the foreclosure process, as well as conditions that may affect the ability of borrowers to meet debt service requirements.

Because the methodology is based upon historical experience and trends, current economic data as well as management’s judgment, factors may arise that result in different estimations. Significant factors that could give rise to changes in these estimates may include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions in our market area, concentration of risk and declines in local property values. Adversely different conditions or assumptions could lead to increases in the allowance. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

(10)	Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Corporation’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally to manage the Corporation’s interest rate risk. Additionally, the Corporation enters into interest rate derivatives to accommodate the business requirements of its customers. All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and are measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and resulting designation.

Interest Rate Risk Management Agreements

Interest rate swaps are used from time to time as part of the Corporation’s interest rate risk management strategy. Swaps are agreements in which the Corporation and another party agree to exchange interest payments (e.g., fixed-rate for variable-rate payments) computed on a notional principal amount. The credit risk associated with swap transactions is the risk of default by the counterparty. To minimize this risk, the Corporation enters into interest rate agreements only with highly rated counterparties that management believes to be creditworthy. The notional amounts of these agreements do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the potential loss exposure.

Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bancorp had two interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the interest rate associated with $22.7 million of variable rate junior subordinated debentures. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to earnings when gains or losses are realized. The ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings as interest expense. The Bancorp has pledged collateral to derivative counterparties in the form of cash totaling $1.6 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Bancorp may need to post additional collateral in the future in proportion to potential increases in unrealized loss positions.

Customer Related Derivative Contracts

The Corporation has entered into interest rate swap contracts to help commercial loan borrowers manage their interest rate risk. The interest rate swap contracts with commercial loan borrowers allow them to convert floating-rate loan payments to fixed-rate loan payments. When we enter into an interest rate swap contract with a commercial loan borrower, we simultaneously enter into a “mirror” swap contract with a third party. The third party exchanges the client’s fixed-rate loan payments for floating-rate loan payments. We retain the risk that is associated with the potential failure of counterparties and the risk inherent in originating loans. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Washington Trust had interest rate swap contracts with commercial loan borrowers with notional amounts of $112.0 million and $105.6 million, respectively, and equal amounts of “mirror” swap contracts with third-party financial institutions. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

Loan Commitments

Interest rate lock commitments are extended to borrowers that relate to the origination of residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale. To mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in these rate locks, as well as closed residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale, best efforts forward commitments are established to sell individual residential real estate mortgage loans. Both interest rate lock commitments and commitments to sell residential real estate mortgage loans are derivative financial instruments, but do not meet criteria for hedge accounting and as such are treated as derivatives not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value and changes in fair value of these commitments are reflected in earnings in the period of change. The Corporation has elected to carry newly originated closed residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale at fair value, as changes in fair value in these loans held for sale generally offset changes in interest rate lock and forward sale commitments.

(11)	Fair Value Measurements

The Corporation uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, securities available for sale, residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale and derivatives were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as collateral dependent impaired loans, property acquired through foreclosure or repossession and mortgage servicing rights. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. In addition, GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the types of valuation information (“inputs”) are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:


•	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.


•	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.


•	Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in the markets and which reflect the Corporation’s market assumptions.

Fair Value Option Election

GAAP allows for the irrevocable option to elect fair value accounting for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Corporation elected the fair value option for its portfolio of residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale to reduce certain timing differences and better match changes in fair value of the loans with changes in the fair value of the derivative loan sale contracts use to economically hedge them.

The aggregate principal amount of the residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale portfolio was $10.2 million and $11.5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The aggregate fair value of this portfolio as of the same dates was $10.4 million and $11.6 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate fair value of residential real estate mortgage loans held for sale exceeded the aggregate principal amount by $257 thousand and $181 thousand, respectively.

There were no residential real estate mortgage loans for sale 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The following table presents the changes in fair value related to mortgage loans held for sale, interest rate lock commitments and commitments to sell residential real estate mortgage loans for the periods indicated. Changes in fair values are reported as a component of net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest rate lock commitments	277			(918		)
Commitments to sell	(313		)	1,971
Total changes in fair value		$40			($8	)

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. When available, the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of securities; such items are classified as Level 1. There were no Level 1 securities held at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Level 2 securities include debt securities with quoted prices, which are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments, whose value is determined using matrix pricing with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes obligations of U.S. government-sponsored

WASHINGTON TRUST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

enterprises, mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies and U.S government-sponsored enterprises, obligations of state and political subdivisions, trust preferred debt securities and corporate bonds.

Securities not actively traded whose fair value is determined through the use of cash flows utilizing inputs that are unobservable are classified as Level 3. There were no such securities held at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

The fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are generally estimated based on secondary market rates offered for loans with similar characteristics. When secondary market information exists, these loans are classified as Level 2. In certain cases when quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis and these assets are classified as Level 3. Any changes in the valuation of mortgage loans held for sale is based upon the change in market interest rates between closing the loan and the measurement date and an immaterial portion attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

Derivatives

Interest rate swap contracts are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. Fair value measurements are determined using independent pricing models that utilize primarily market observable inputs, such as swap rates of different maturities and LIBOR rates and, accordingly, are classified as Level 2. Our internal review procedures have confirmed that the fair values determined with independent pricing models and utilized by the Corporation are consistent with GAAP. For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to its interest rate swap contracts, the Corporation evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties as well as that of the Corporation. Accordingly, Washington Trust considers factors such as the likelihood of default by the Corporation and its counterparties, its net exposures and remaining contractual life, among other factors, in determining if any fair value adjustments related to credit risk are required. Counterparty exposure is evaluated by netting positions that are subject to master netting agreements, as well as considering the amount of collateral securing the position. Additionally, in accordance with fair value measurement guidance in ASU 2011-04, Washington Trust has made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Level 2 fair value measurements of forward loan commitments (interest rate lock commitments and commitments to sell residential real estate mortgages) are estimated using the anticipated market price based on pricing indications provided from syndicate banks. In certain cases when quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis and these assets are classified as Level 3.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans

Collateral dependent loans that are deemed to be impaired are valued based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Such collateral primarily consists of real estate and, to a lesser extent, other business assets. For collateral dependent loans for which repayment is dependent on the sale of the collateral, management adjusts the fair value for estimated costs to sell. For collateral dependent loans for which repayment is dependent on the operation of the collateral, such as accruing troubled debt restructured loans, estimated costs to sell are not incorporated into the measurement. Management may also adjust appraised values to reflect estimated market value declines or apply other discounts to appraised values resulting from its knowledge of the property. Internal valuations are utilized to determine the fair value of other business assets. Collateral dependent impaired loans are categorized as Level 3.

Property Acquired Through Foreclosure or Repossession

Property acquired through foreclosure or repossession included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets is adjusted to fair value less costs to sell upon transfer out of loans through a charge to allowance for loan losses. Subsequently, it is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Such subsequent valuation charges are charged through earnings. Fair value is generally based upon appraised values of the collateral. Management adjusts appraised values to reflect estimated market value declines or apply other discounts to appraised values for unobservable factors resulting from its knowledge of the property, and such property is categorized as Level 3.

Items Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The valuation methodologies used to measure these fair value adjustments are described above.

The following table summarizes such assets, which were written down to fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2014:

Valuation of Other Financial Instruments

The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for other financial instruments are discussed below.

Loans

Fair values are estimated for categories of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type and are then further segmented into fixed-rate and adjustable-rate interest terms to determine their fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate commercial and consumer loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity of the loan using interest rates offered at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Corporation’s historical repayment experience. For residential mortgages, fair value is estimated by using market prices for sales of similar loans on the secondary market. The fair value of floating rate commercial and consumer loans approximates carrying value. Fair value for impaired loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow method based upon the loan’s contractual effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price, or if the loan is collateral dependent, at the fair value of the collateral. Loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

WASHINGTON TRUST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Time Deposits

The discounted values of cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities were used to estimate the fair value of time deposits. Time deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Rates currently available to the Corporation for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing advances. FHLBB advances are categorized as Level 2.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures is estimated using rates currently available to the Corporation for debentures with similar terms and maturities. Junior subordinated debentures are categorized as Level 2.

The following tables present the carrying amount, estimated fair value and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Corporation’s financial instruments. The tables exclude financial instruments for which the carrying value approximates fair value. Financial assets for which the fair value approximates carrying value include cash and cash equivalents, FHLBB stock, accrued interest receivable and bank-owned life insurance. Financial liabilities for which the fair value approximates carrying value include non-maturity deposits and accrued interest payable.

(12)	Defined Benefit Pension Plans

The Corporation maintains a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of certain eligible employees who were hired prior to October 1, 2007. The Corporation also has non-qualified retirement plans to provide supplemental retirement benefits to certain employees, as defined in the plans. The supplemental retirement plans provide eligible participants with an additional retirement benefit. In September 2013, the Corporation amended its defined benefit pension plans primarily to freeze benefit accruals after a ten-year transition period ending in December 2023.

(13)	Share-Based Compensation Arrangements

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, performance share awards were granted to certain executive officers providing the opportunity to earn shares of common stock of the Corporation. The performance shares awarded were valued at the fair market value as of the award date, or $26.05 and will be earned over a 3-year performance period. The number of shares earned will range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares dependent upon the Corporation’s core return on equity and core earnings per share growth ranking compared to an industry peer group. The current assumption based on the most recent peer group information available results in shares earned at 150% of the target, or 22,650 shares.


(14)	Business Segments

Washington Trust segregates financial information in assessing its results among its Commercial Banking and Wealth Management Services operating segments. The amounts in the Corporate column include activity not related to the segments, such as the investment securities portfolio, wholesale funding activities and administrative units. The Corporate column is not considered to be an operating segment. The methodologies and organizational hierarchies that define the business segments are periodically reviewed and revised. Results may be restated, when necessary, to reflect changes in organizational structure or allocation methodology. Any changes in estimates and allocations that may affect the reported results of any business segment will not affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Washington Trust as a whole.

Management uses certain methodologies to allocate income and expenses to the business lines. A funds transfer pricing methodology is used to assign interest income and interest expense to each interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability on a matched maturity funding basis. Certain indirect expenses are allocated to segments. These include support unit expenses such as technology and processing operations and other support functions.

Commercial Banking

The Commercial Banking segment includes commercial, commercial real estate, residential and consumer lending activities; equity in losses of unconsolidated investments in real estate limited partnerships, mortgage banking, secondary market and loan servicing activities; deposit generation; merchant credit card services; cash management activities; and direct banking activities, which include the operation of ATMs, telephone and Internet banking services and customer support and sales.

Wealth Management Services

Wealth Management Services includes asset management services provided for individuals, institutions and mutual funds; personal trust services, including services as executor, trustee, administrator, custodian and guardian; institutional trust services, including services as trustee for pension and profit sharing plans; and other financial planning and advisory services.

Corporate

Corporate includes the Treasury Unit, which is responsible for managing the wholesale investment portfolio and wholesale funding needs. It also includes income from bank-owned life insurance, net gain on sale of business line as well as administrative and executive expenses not allocated to the operating segments and the residual impact of methodology allocations such as funds transfer pricing offsets.

(16)	Earnings Per Common Share

Washington Trust utilizes the two-class method earnings allocation formula to determine earnings per share of each class of stock according to dividends and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Share-based payments that entitle holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends before vesting are considered participating securities and included in earnings allocation for computing basic earnings per share under this method. Undistributed income is allocated to common shareholders and participating securities under the two-class method based upon the proportion of each to the total weighted average shares available.

The calculation of earnings per common share is presented below.

(17)	Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to manage the Corporation’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, interest rate swap agreements and interest rate lock commitments and commitments to sell residential real estate mortgage loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Corporation’s credit policies with respect to interest rate swap agreements with commercial borrowers, commitments to extend credit, and financial guarantees are similar to those used for loans. The interest rate swaps with other counterparties are generally subject to bilateral collateralization terms.

Commitments to Extend Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there are no violations of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each borrower’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

Standby Letters of Credit

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support the financing needs of the Bank’s commercial customers. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The collateral supporting those commitments is essentially the same as for other commitments. Most standby letters of credit extend for one year. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments, not reduced by amounts that may be recovered, totaled $2.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no liabilities to beneficiaries resulting from standby letters of credit. Fee income on standby letters of credit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was immaterial.

Forward Loan Commitments

Leases

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Corporation was obligated under various non-cancellable operating leases for properties used as banking offices and other office facilities. Rental expense under the operating leases amounted to $737 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $665 thousand for the same period in 2013. Rental expense is recorded as a component of net occupancy expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Contingencies

Litigation

The Corporation is involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion, based on its review with counsel of the development of such matters to date, that the ultimate disposition of such matters will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.

Other

When selling a residential real estate mortgage loan or acting as originating agent on behalf of a third party, Washington Trust generally makes various representations and warranties. The specific representations and warranties depend on the nature of the transaction and the requirements of the buyer. Contractual liability may arise when the representations and warranties are breached. In the event of a breach of these representations and warranties, Washington Trust may be required to either repurchase the residential real estate mortgage loan (generally at unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest) with the identified defects or indemnify (“make-whole”) the investor for its losses.

In the case of a repurchase, Washington Trust will bear any subsequent credit loss on the residential real estate mortgage loan. Washington Trust has experienced an insignificant number of repurchase demands over a period of many years. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying value of loans repurchased due to representation and warranty claims was $347 thousand and $682 thousand, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, rebates for loans sold that were paid off within contractually agreed upon periods of time were insignificant. Washington Trust has recorded a reserve for its exposure to losses for premium recapture and the obligation to repurchase previously sold residential real estate mortgage loans. The reserve balance amounted to $275 thousand at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any change in the estimate is recorded in net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(18) Sale of Business Line

On March 1, 2014, the Corporation sold its merchant processing service business line to a third party. The sale resulted in a net gain of $6.3 million, after-tax $4.0 million, or 24 cents per diluted share. In connection with the sale, Washington Trust incurred divestiture related costs of $355 thousand, after-tax $227 thousand, or 1 cent per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014. The Corporation will also have the opportunity to earn additional referral revenues during the ten-year period following the transaction.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and in conjunction with the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this report. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full-year ended December 31, 2014 or any future period.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains 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 the Corporation. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Corporation 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: continued weakness in national, regional or economies; reductions in net interest income resulting from a sustained low interest rate environment 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 the Corporation’s competition; changes in legislation or regulation and accounting principles, policies and guidelines 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, 2013, 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting policies involving significant judgments, estimates and assumptions by management, which have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and impact income are considered critical accounting policies. The Corporation considers the following to be its critical accounting policies: the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the review of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment and the assessment of investment securities for impairment. There have been no significant changes in the Corporation’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for details of recently issued accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Overview

Washington Trust offers a comprehensive product line of financial services to individuals and businesses including commercial, residential and consumer lending, retail and commercial deposit products, and wealth management services through its offices in Rhode Island, eastern Massachusetts and Connecticut, its ATM networks, and its Internet website at www.washtrust.com.

Our largest source of operating income is net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and securities and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. In addition, we generate noninterest income from a number of sources, including wealth management services, loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others, deposit services, card interchange fees and bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”). Our principal noninterest expenses include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and facility-related costs, technology and other administrative expenses.

Our financial results are affected by interest rate fluctuations, changes in economic and market conditions, competitive conditions within our market area and changes in legislation, regulation and/or accounting principles. While the regional economic climate

has been improving in recent quarters, adverse changes in future economic growth, consumer confidence, credit availability and corporate earnings could impact our financial results. Management believes that overall credit quality continues to be affected by the slow pace of recovery in national and regional economic conditions, including comparatively high unemployment levels in Rhode Island.

We believe the Corporation’s financial strength and stability, capital resources and reputation as the largest independent bank headquartered in Rhode Island were key factors in delivering solid results in the first quarter of 2014. We continue to leverage our strong, statewide brand to build market share in Rhode Island whenever possible and bring select business lines to new markets with high-growth potential while remaining steadfast in our commitment to provide superior service. In the second quarter of 2014, Washington Trust plans to open a new full-service branch in Johnston, Rhode Island, in Providence County. This branch will be Washington Trust’s nineteenth branch office and its first in Johnston.

Composition of Earnings

Net income for the first quarter of 2014 amounted to $9.3 million, or 55 cents per diluted share, up from $7.4 million, or 45 cents per diluted share, reported for the first quarter of 2013. The returns on average equity and average assets for the first quarter of 2014 were 11.10% and 1.17%, respectively, compared to 9.91% and 0.98%, respectively, for the same quarter in 2013.

The comparison of 2014 earnings to 2013 was significantly impacted by a $2.8 million other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized on a pooled trust preferred debt security in the first quarter of 2013. The net after-tax impact of this impairment loss was $1.9 million, or 11 cents per diluted share.

In addition, the following transactions in the first quarter of 2014 resulted in a net after-tax charge of 1 cent to diluted earnings per share:


•	On March 1, 2014, the Corporation sold its merchant processing service business line to a third party. The sale resulted in a gain of $6.3 million, after-tax $4.0 million, or 24 cents per diluted share.


•	In connection with this sale, the Corporation incurred divestiture related costs of $355 thousand, after-tax $227 thousand, or 1 cent per diluted share. These costs included $291 thousand in salaries and employee benefit expenses and $64 thousand in legal expenses.

•

Washington Trust also prepaid FHLBB advances totaling $99.3 million, resulting in debt prepayment penalty expense of approximately $6.3 million, after-tax $4.0 million, or 24 cents per diluted share. The weighted average rate of these FHLBB advances was 3.01% with a weighted average remaining term of thirty-six months. Other wholesale funding in the form of brokered time deposits, as well as existing on-balance sheet liquidity, were utilized as the funding source for the prepayment of these FHLBB advances. The replacement wholesale funding amounted to $80.0 million, with maturities ranging from 2015 through 2019, a weighted average maturity of thirty-five months and an initial weighted average cost of approximately 0.93%.

The combined impact of the divestiture of the merchant processing service business line and the reduction in interest expense due to the above mentioned borrowing transactions is expected to result in future ongoing pre-tax income enhancement of approximately $1.0 million in the remainder of 2014 and $1.3 million in 2015, with continuing benefits in future years.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 amounted to $23.8 million, up by $1.4 million, or 6%, from the same period in 2013, reflecting growth in average loan balances and continued reduction in funding costs. The net interest margin (fully taxable equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earnings assets) was 3.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 3.32% for the same period in 2013.

The loan loss provision charged to earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $300 thousand and $600 thousand, respectively. Management believes that the level of provision for loan losses has been consistent with the trends in asset quality and credit quality indicators.

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled $19.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively.

Excluding $6.3 million gain on sale of business line recognized in the first quarter of 2014 and the $2.8 million other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized in the first quarter of 2013, noninterest income decreased by $2.8 million, or 18%. Significant year-over-year changes, on this basis, included:


•	Net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others (“mortgage banking revenues”) were down by $2.9 million, or 70%, reflecting declines in mortgage loan refinancing and sales activity due to higher market interest rates.


•	Wealth management revenues were up by $591 thousand, or 8%, due to an increase in asset-based wealth management revenues.


•	Merchant processing fee revenue decreased by $686 thousand, or 35%, as the sale of this business line was consummated on March 1, 2014. See discussion below regarding a corresponding decrease in merchant processing costs.

Noninterest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $29.3 million and $24.2 million, respectively. Excluding the above mentioned debt prepayment penalty expense of $6.3 million and divestiture costs of $355 thousand recognized in the first quarter of 2014, noninterest expenses decreased by $1.5 million, or 6%. Significant year-over-year changes, on this basis, included:


•	Salaries and employee benefit costs decreased by $1.2 million, or 8%, reflecting lower defined benefit pension plan expenses and lower levels of business development based compensation primarily in mortgage banking.


•	Corresponding to the decrease in merchant processing fee revenue described above, merchant processing costs decreased by $623 thousand, or 37%.

Income tax expense amounted to $4.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The Corporation’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was 31.7% and 31.6%, respectively. The effective tax rates differed from the federal rate of 35% due largely to the benefits of tax-exempt income, income from BOLI and federal tax credits.

Results of Operations

Segment Reporting

Washington Trust manages its operations through two business segments, Commercial Banking and Wealth Management Services. Activity not related to the segments, such as the investment securities portfolio, wholesale funding activities, net gain on sale of business line, income from BOLI and administrative expenses not allocated to the operating segments are considered Corporate. The Corporate unit also includes the residual impact of methodology allocations such as funds transfer pricing offsets. Methodologies used to allocate income and expenses to business lines are periodically reviewed and revised. See Note 14 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosure related to business segments.

Net income attributed to the Corporate unit amounted to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the same period in 2013. The Corporate unit’s net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $1.2 million, largely due to declining funding costs and an increase in dividend income on the Corporation’s investment in FHLBB stock. Noninterest income for the Corporate unit included the $6.3 million gain on sale of business line in the first quarter of 2014 and the $2.8 million other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized on a pooled trust preferred debt security in the first quarter of 2013. Noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2014 included $6.3 million in debt prepayment penalty expense. See additional discussion regarding these noninterest income and expense items in the “Overview” section under the caption “Composition of Earnings.”

The Commercial Banking segment reported net income of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2013. Net interest income for this operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $228 thousand, or 1%, from the same period in 2013, principally due to growth in average loan balances and declining cost of funds on deposits. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by $300 thousand compared to first quarter of 2013, reflecting improvements in asset quality and credit quality indicators. Noninterest income derived from the Commercial Banking segment totaled $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, down by $3.4 million, or 43%, from the comparable 2013 period. This decline in noninterest income was largely due to lower mortgage banking revenues, which are sensitive to market interest rates. Also contributing to the decline in this operating segment’s noninterest income was a decrease in merchant processing fee revenue, as the sale of this business line was consummated on March 1, 2014. The decrease in merchant processing fee revenue corresponded to a decline in merchant processing costs included in this operating segment’s noninterest expenses. Commercial Banking noninterest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were down by $1.6 million, or 10%, from the same period in 2013. This decline in noninterest expenses reflected decreases in salaries and employee benefit costs and a decline in merchant processing costs.

The Wealth Management Services segment reported net income of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2013. Noninterest income derived from the Wealth Management Services segment was $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, up by 8% compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in asset-based wealth management revenues. Wealth Management assets under administration stood at $4.81 billion at March 31, 2014, up by 9% from the balance at March 31, 2013. Noninterest expenses for this operating segment

totaled $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, up by $259 thousand, or 5%, from the same period a year ago, reflecting an increase in salaries and benefit costs and outsourced services.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income continues to be the primary source of Washington Trust’s operating income. Net interest income is affected by the level of interest rates, changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Included in interest income are loan prepayment fees and certain other fees, such as late charges. The following discussion presents net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis by adjusting income and yields on tax-exempt loans and securities to be comparable to taxable loans and securities. For more information, see the section entitled “Average Balances / Net Interest Margin - Fully Taxable Equivalent (FTE) Basis” below.

FTE net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $24.5 million and $23.0 million. The increase in FTE net interest income reflects growth in average loan balances and continued reduction in funding costs. The net interest margin was 3.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 3.32% for the same period in 2013.

In the recent interest rate environment, market yields on new loan originations have been below the average yield of the existing loan portfolio. Due to the combined effect of new loan growth and the runoff of higher yielding loan balances, interest rates on total earning assets may continue to decline.

Average interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were up by $163.7 million, or 6%, from the average balance for the same period in 2013. Total average loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $145.1 million, or 6%, compared to the average balance for the comparable 2013 period, due to growth in the commercial loan portfolio and in residential real estate loans. The yield on total loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by 18 basis points from the comparable 2013 period, reflecting the impact of a sustained low interest rate environment on loan yields. The contribution of loan prepayment fees and other fees to the yield on total loans was 5 basis points and 2 basis points, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Total average securities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $12.2 million, or 3%, from the average balance for the same period a year earlier, reflecting purchases of debt securities made in the latter part of 2013 offset, in part, by principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities. The FTE rate of return on securities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by 14 basis points compared to the same period in 2013, due to maturities and calls of higher yielding securities combined with purchases of lower yielding securities.

Average interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $76.2 million, or 3%, from the average balance for the comparable period in 2013, largely reflecting growth in average money market account balances partially offset by decreases in average FHLBB advance balances and time deposits. See additional discussion under the section “Sources of Funds.” The weighted average cost of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2014 declined by 18 basis points compared to the same period in 2013, largely due to declines in the rate paid on time deposits. The average balances of FHLBB advances for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were down by $75.3 million, or 22%, compared to the average balance for the same period in 2013. The average rate paid on such advances for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased 15 basis points from the first quarter of 2013. Total average interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $162.8 million, or 8%, compared to the average balance for the first quarter of 2013. This increase reflected growth in average lower-cost deposit balances, partially offset by a decrease in average time deposit balances. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by 9 basis points compared to the same period in 2013, reflecting lower rates on time deposits.

The average balance of noninterest-bearing demand deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $62.1 million, or 17%, compared to the average balances for the same period in 2013.

Average Balances / Net Interest Margin - Fully Taxable Equivalent (FTE) Basis

The following tables present average balance and interest rate information. Tax-exempt income is converted to a FTE 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. Average balances and yields for securities available for sale are based on amortized cost. 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.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is based on management’s periodic assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses which, in turn, is based on such interrelated factors as the composition of the loan portfolio and its inherent risk characteristics; the level of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs, both current and historic; local economic and credit conditions; the direction of real estate values; and regulatory guidelines. The provision for loan losses is charged against earnings in order to maintain an allowance for loan losses that reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.

The provision for loan losses charged to earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $300 thousand and $600 thousand, respectively. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $1.1 million and included an $853 charge-off recognized on one commercial mortgage relationship. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $334 thousand.

The allowance for loan losses was $27.0 million, or 1.09% of total loans, at March 31, 2014, compared to $27.9 million, or 1.13% of total loans, at December 31, 2013. The decline in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans reflects charge-offs and a decrease in specific reserves on impaired loans. See additional discussion under the caption “Asset Quality” below for further information on the Allowance for Loan Losses.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income is an important source of revenue for Washington Trust. The principal categories of noninterest income are shown in the following table:

Noninterest Income Analysis

Revenue from wealth management services is our largest source of noninterest income. A substantial portion of wealth management revenues is largely dependent on the value of wealth management assets under administration and is closely tied to the performance of the financial markets. This portion of wealth management revenues is referred to as “asset-based” and includes trust and investment management fees and mutual fund fees. Wealth management revenues also include “transaction-based” revenues, such as financial planning, commissions and other service fees that are not primarily derived from the value of assets.

The categories of wealth management revenues are shown in the following table:

The following table presents the changes in wealth management assets under administration for the periods indicated:

Three months ended March 31,	2014			2013
Wealth management assets under administration:
Balance at the beginning of period		$4,781,958			$4,199,640
Net investment appreciation & income	44,335			213,979
Net client cash flows	(19,912		)	6,457
Balance at the end of period		$4,806,381			$4,420,076

Wealth management revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $8.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively, up by $591 thousand, or 8%, reflecting an increase in asset-based wealth management revenues. Wealth management assets under administration totaled $4.81 billion at March 31, 2014, up by $24.4 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2013, and up by $386.3 million, or 9%, from a year-ago, due to net investment appreciation and income.

Merchant processing fees are down by $686 thousand, or 35%, due to the sale of this business line, which was consummated on March 1, 2014. This decline corresponds to the decline in merchant processing costs discussed below under the caption “Noninterest Expenses.” See additional disclosure regarding this sale in the “Overview” section under the caption “Composition of Earnings.”

Mortgage banking revenues (net gains on loan sales and commissions on loans originated for others) are dependent on mortgage origination volume and are sensitive to interest rates and the condition of housing markets. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, this revenue source decreased by $2.9 million, or 70%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, largely due to decreased refinancing and sales activity in response to increased market interest rates. Residential real estate loans sold to the secondary market, including brokered loans, totaled $57.0 million and $152.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Net gains on interest rate swap contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $241 thousand from the same period in 2013. The increase was largely due to new customer-related interest rate swap contracts executed in 2014.

As previously mentioned, the Corporation sold its merchant processing services business line in the first quarter of 2014 resulting in a net gain on sale of business line of $6.3 million. See additional discussion in the “Overview” section under the caption “Composition of Earnings.”

There were no impairment losses recognized on securities in the quarter ended March 31, 2014. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net impairment losses recognized in earnings on investment securities totaled $2.8 million. See additional discussion in the “Overview” section above under the caption “Composition of Earnings.”

Noninterest Expense Analysis

Salaries and employee benefit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $14.6 million and $15.4 million, respectively, down by $884 thousand, or 6%. Included in salaries and employee benefits in the first quarter of 2014 was $291 thousand of divestiture costs incurred in connection with the March 2014 sale of the merchant processing services business line. Excluding these divestiture costs, salaries and employee benefit costs decreased by $1.2 million, or 6%, reflecting a reduction in defined benefit pension costs and lower levels of business development based compensation primarily in the mortgage banking area.

Corresponding to the decrease in merchant processing fee revenue noted above under the caption “Noninterest Income,” merchant processing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were down by $623 thousand, or 37%, from the same period in 2013.

Outsourced services for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $203 thousand, or 24%, reflecting an expansion of services utilized in our wealth management area and services utilized in support of deposit products.

The prepayment of FHLBB advances in the first quarter of 2014 resulted in debt prepayment penalty expense of $6.3 million. See additional discussion regarding the prepayments in the “Overview” section above under the caption “Composition of Earnings.” There was no debt prepayment penalty expense in the first quarter of 2013.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense amounted to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2013. The Corporation’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 31.7%, and 31.6%, respectively.

Financial Condition

Summary

Total assets amounted to $3.19 billion at March 31, 2014, a modest increase of $5.3 million, or 0.2%, from the end of 2013. This included an increase of $22.8 million, or 28%, in cash and due from banks, net loan growth of $15.7 million, or 1%, and a decrease of $32.9 million, or 8% in the securities portfolio.

Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets amounted to 0.45% at March 31, 2014, down by 17 basis points from the end of 2013, largely due to payoffs of commercial loans and charge-offs. While the overall credit quality continues to be affected by relatively weak economic conditions, we have experienced improvements in many of our asset and credit quality indicators.

Total deposits increased by $86.3 million, or 3%, in the first quarter of 2014, including a net increase of $73.3 million of out-of-market wholesale brokered time certificates of deposit, which were utilized as replacement funding for the prepayment of FHLBB advances in the first quarter of 2014. FHLBB advances declined by $84.7 million, or 29%, from the end of 2013. See additional discussion regarding the prepayments of FHLBB advances in the “Overview” section above under the caption “Composition of Earnings.”

Shareholders’ equity totaled $335.9 million at March 31, 2014, up by $6.2 million from the balance at the end of 2013. Capital levels continue to exceed the regulatory minimum levels to be considered well-capitalized, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.56% at March 31, 2014, compared to 13.29% at December 31, 2013.

Securities

Washington Trust’s securities portfolio is managed to generate interest income, to implement interest rate risk management strategies, and to provide a readily available source of liquidity for balance sheet management. Securities are designated as either available for sale, held to maturity or trading at the time of purchase. The Corporation does not currently maintain a portfolio of trading securities. Securities available for sale may be sold in response to changes in market conditions, prepayment risk, rate fluctuations, liquidity, or capital requirements. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax, until realized. Securities held to maturity are reported at amortized cost.

Determination of Fair Value

The Corporation uses an independent pricing service to obtain quoted prices. The prices provided by the independent pricing service are generally based on observable market data in active markets. The determination of whether markets are active or inactive is based upon the level of trading activity for a particular security class. The Corporation reviews the independent pricing service’s documentation to gain an understanding of the appropriateness of the pricing methodologies. The Corporation also reviews the prices provided by the independent pricing service for reasonableness based upon current trading levels for similar securities. If the prices appear unusual they are re-examined and the value is either confirmed or revised. In addition, the Corporation periodically performs independent price tests of a sample of securities to ensure proper valuation and to verify our understanding of how securities are priced. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Corporation did not make any adjustments to the prices provided by the pricing service.

Generally, our fair value measurements utilize Level 2 inputs, which utilize quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and model-derived valuations in which all significant input assumptions are observable in active markets. Our Level 2 financial instruments consist primarily of available for sale debt securities.

See Notes 4 and 11 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the determination of fair value of investment securities.

As of March 31, 2014, the investment portfolio totaled $389.9 million, down by $32.9 million from the balance at December 31, 2013, largely due to a call of a U.S. government agency debt security and principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities, which were not reinvested in the securities portfolio.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the net unrealized gain position on securities available for sale and held to maturity amounted to $6.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and included gross unrealized losses of $5.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively. These gross unrealized losses were temporary in nature and concentrated in variable rate trust preferred securities issued by financial services companies.

(b)	Rating is below investment grade.

The Corporation’s evaluation of the impairment status of individual name trust preferred securities includes various considerations in addition to the degree of impairment and the duration of impairment. We review the reported regulatory capital ratios of the issuer and, in all cases, the regulatory capital ratios were deemed to be in excess of the regulatory minimums. Credit ratings were also taken into consideration, including ratings in effect as of the reporting period date as well as credit rating changes between the reporting period date and the filing date of this report. We noted no additional downgrades to below investment grade between the reporting period date and the filing date of this report. Where available, credit ratings from multiple rating agencies are obtained and rating downgrades are specifically analyzed. Our review process for these credit-sensitive holdings also includes a periodic review of relevant financial information for each issuer, such as quarterly financial reports, press releases and analyst reports. This information is used to evaluate the current and prospective financial condition of the issuer in order to assess the issuer’s ability to meet its debt obligations. Through the filing date of this report, each of the individual name issuer securities was current with respect to interest payments. Based on our evaluation of the facts and circumstances relating to each issuer, management concluded that all principal and interest payments for these individual issuer trust preferred securities would be collected according to their contractual terms and it expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Furthermore, Washington Trust does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that Washington Trust will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity. Therefore, management does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014

Further deterioration in credit quality of the underlying issuers of the securities, further deterioration in the condition of the financial services industry, a continuation or worsening of the current economic environment, or additional declines in real estate values, amount other things, may further affect the fair value of these securities and increase the potential that certain unrealized losses to be designation as other-than-temporary in future periods, and the Corporation may incur write-downs.

Loans

Total loans amounted to $2.48 billion at March 31, 2014, up by $15.7 million, or 1%, in the first three months of 2014. Growth in the residential real estate loan portfolio was partially offset by declines in the commercial loan portfolio.

Commercial Loans

Commercial loans fall into two major categories, commercial real estate and other commercial loans (commercial and industrial). A significant portion of the Bank’s commercial and industrial loans are also collateralized by real estate, but are not classified as commercial real restate loans because such loans are not made for the purpose of acquiring, developing, constructing, improving or refinancing the real estate securing the loan, nor is the repayment source income generated directly from such real property.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

Commercial real estate loans amounted to $813.5 million at March 31, 2014, a decrease of $19.0 million, or 2%, from $832.5 million at December 31, 2013. Included in these amounts were commercial construction loans of $24.7 million and $36.3 million, respectively. The decline in the commercial real estate portfolio reflected payoffs of several larger loans.

Commercial real estate loans are secured by a variety of property types, with approximately 84% of the total composed of office buildings, retail facilities, commercial mixed use, lodging, multi-family dwellings and industrial and warehouse properties.

The following table presents a geographic summary of commercial real estate loans, including commercial construction, by property location.



(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Amount		% of Total		Amount		% of Total

New Hampshire	8,678		1	%	8,730		1	%
Total		$813,532	100	%		$832,538	100	%

Other Commercial Loans

Commercial and industrial loans amounted to $523.8 million at March 31, 2014, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 1%, from the balance at December 31, 2013. This portfolio includes loans to a variety of business types. Approximately 83% of the total is composed of owner occupied and other real estate, health care/social assistance, retail trade, manufacturing, accommodation and food services, public administration, entertainment, recreation and construction businesses, and wholesale trade.

Residential Real Estate Loans

Washington Trust originates residential real estate mortgages within our general market area of Southern New England for portfolio and for sale in the secondary market. In recent years, the mortgage origination business has been expanded beyond our bank branch network, which is primarily located in Rhode Island, through the addition of residential mortgage lending offices, in Massachusetts and Connecticut. We also originate residential real estate mortgages for various investors in a broker capacity, including convention mortgages and reverse mortgages.

The residential real estate mortgage loan portfolio amounted to $810.4 million at March 31, 2014, up by $37.7 million, or 5%, from the balance at December 31, 2013.

Total residential real estate loan originations for retention in portfolio were $122.2 million and $183.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Total residential real estate loan originations for sale into the secondary market, including loans originated in a broker capacity, were $55.7 million and $132.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Origination volume declined in 2014, reflecting a decline in refinancing activity due to increased market interest rates, as well as seasonal activity declines.

Prior to March 2009, Washington Trust had periodically purchased one- to four-family residential mortgages originated in other states as well as southern New England from other financial institutions. All residential mortgage loans purchased from other

financial institutions were individually underwritten using standards similar to those employed for Washington Trust’s self-originated loans. Purchased residential mortgage balances totaled $41.4 million and $42.6 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The following is a geographic summary of residential mortgages by property location.

Consumer Loans

Consumer loans amounted to $330.9 million at March 31, 2014, an increase of $4.1 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2013. Our consumer portfolio is predominantly home equity lines and home equity loans, representing 83% of the total consumer portfolio at March 31, 2014. Consumer loans also include personal installment loans and loans to individuals secured by general aviation aircraft and automobiles.

Nonperforming assets decreased to $14.3 million, or 0.45% of total assets, at March 31, 2014, from $19.8 million, or 0.62% of total assets, at December 31, 2013. This decrease in nonperforming assets primarily reflects payoffs and charge-offs on commercial loans.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $13.6 million at March 31, 2014, down by $4.7 million from the balance at December 31, 2013.

Nonaccrual Loans

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Corporation made no changes in its practices or policies concerning the placement of loans or investment securities into nonaccrual status. There were no significant commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2014. The following table presents additional detail on nonaccrual loans as of the dates indicated:

(1)	Percentage of nonaccrual loans to the total loans outstanding within the respective category.

The March 31, 2014 balance of nonaccrual commercial mortgage loans was net of charge-offs of $1.8 million and has a remaining loss allocation of $196 thousand. All of the nonaccrual commercial mortgage loans were located in Rhode Island.

Nonaccrual commercial mortgage loans decreased by a net $5.2 million from the balance at the end of 2013, principally due to the payoffs, paydowns and charge-offs described below.

The largest nonaccrual relationship in the commercial mortgage category totaled $1.2 million at March 31, 2014, down from $4.7 million at December 31, 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, payoff proceeds of $2.6 million were received and final charge-offs of previously determined loss exposure of $853 thousand were recognized on two of the loans in this relationship. The relationship is largely secured by light industrial and office space and is collateral dependent. Based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, a $146 thousand loss allocation was deemed necessary at March 31, 2014. The Bank has additional accruing residential mortgage loans, which are related to the borrower by common guarantor, totaling $816 thousand at March 31, 2014. These additional loans have performed in accordance with the terms of the loans and were not past due at March 31, 2014.

In addition, during the first quarter of 2014, a paydown of $1.6 million was received on a nonaccrual commercial mortgage loan that had a carrying value of $1.7 million at December 31, 2013.

Nonaccrual residential mortgage loans increased by $660 thousand from the balance at the end of 2013. Management believes that the increase is partly due to the lengthening of time to resolve problem credits, including foreclosure efforts, resulting from a higher level of regulatory and judicial requirements. As of March 31, 2014, the $9.0 million balance of nonaccrual residential mortgage loans consisted of 38 loans, with $8.0 million located in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The loss allocation on total nonaccrual residential mortgages was $1.7 million at March 31, 2014. Included in total nonaccrual residential mortgages at March 31, 2014 were eighteen loans purchased for portfolio and serviced by others amounting to $3.9 million. Management monitors the collection efforts of its third party servicers as part of its assessment of the collectibility of nonperforming loans.

(1)Percentage of past due loans to the total loans outstanding within the respective category.

As of March 31, 2014, total past due loans amounted to $18.0 million, or 0.73% of total loans, down by $3.9 million from December 31, 2013.

The decrease in total delinquencies in the first quarter of 2014 was concentrated in commercial loan delinquencies and was largely attributable to the payoffs and paydowns on the largest nonaccrual commercial relationships described above under the caption “Nonaccrual Loans”.

All loans 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were classified as nonaccrual.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

of the terms of the debt such as reduction of the stated interest rate other than normal market rate adjustments, extension of maturity dates, or reduction of principal balance or accrued interest. The decision to restructure a loan, versus aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan, may benefit the Corporation by increasing the ultimate probability of collection.

The following table sets forth information on troubled debt restructured loans as of the dates indicated. The carrying amounts below consist of unpaid principal balance, net of charge-offs and unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs. Accrued interest is not included in the carrying amounts set forth below.

Consumer	29		38
Nonaccrual troubled debt restructured loans	845		580
Total troubled debt restructured loans		$26,330		$26,323

As of March 31, 2014, loans classified as troubled debt restructurings totaled $26.3 million, essentially unchanged from the balance at December 31, 2013.

The largest troubled debt restructured relationship at March 31, 2014 consisted of an accruing commercial mortgage relationship with a carrying value of $9.5 million, secured by mixed use properties. The restructuring took place in the second quarter of 2013 and included a modification of certain payment terms and a below market rate concession for a temporary period. At March 31, 2014, the second largest troubled debt restructured relationship consisted of an accruing commercial mortgage relationship with a carrying value of $8.1 million, secured by a hotel industry property. The restructuring took place in the third quarter of 2012 and included a modification of certain payment terms and a below market interest rate reduction for a temporary period on approximately $3.1 million of the total balance. In connection with this restructuring, additional collateral was also provided by the borrower during the third quarter of 2012. The third largest troubled debt restructured relationship consisted of a commercial mortgage with a carrying value of $4.9 million, secured by commercial property. The restructuring took place in the third quarter of 2013 and included a modification of certain payment terms and a below market rate concession for a temporary period. In connection with this restructuring, a principal pay-down of $1.2 million was provided by the borrower during the third quarter of 2013.

Potential Problem Loans

The Corporation classifies certain loans as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” based on criteria consistent with guidelines provided by banking regulators. Potential problem loans consist of classified accruing commercial loans that were less than 90 days past due at March 31, 2014 and other loans for which known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as nonperforming at some time in the future. These loans are not included in the amounts of nonaccrual or restructured loans presented above. Management cannot predict the extent to which economic conditions or other factors may impact borrowers and the potential problem loans. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not become 90 days or more past due, be placed on nonaccrual, become restructured, or require increased allowance coverage and provision for loan losses. The Corporation has identified approximately $1.5 million in potential problem loans at March 31, 2014, compared to $931 thousand at December 31, 2013. The increase from December 31, 2013 was due to the change in credit quality on two commercial and industrial loan relationships. Potential problem loans are assessed for loss exposure using the methods described in Note 5 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption “Credit Quality Indicators.”

Allowance for Loan Losses

Establishing an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. The Corporation uses a methodology to systematically measure the amount of estimated loan loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio for purposes of establishing a sufficient allowance for loan losses. For a more detailed discussion on the allowance for loan losses, see additional information in Item 7 under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of Washington Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The allowance for loan losses is management’s best estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and by recoveries of amounts previously charged off, and is reduced by charge-offs on loans. The status of nonaccrual loans, delinquent loans and performing loans were all taken into consideration in the assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loans losses. In addition, the balance and trends of credit quality indicators, including the commercial loan categories of Pass, Special Mention and Classified, are integrated into the process used to determine the allocation of loss exposure. See Note 5 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information under the caption “Credit Quality Indicators.” While management believes that the level of allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2014 is adequate and consistent with asset quality and delinquency indicators, management will continue to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in accordance with its established policies.

The Bank’s general practice is to identify problem credits early and recognize full or partial charge-offs as promptly as practicable when it is determined that the collection of loan principal is unlikely. The Bank recognizes full or partial charge-offs on collateral dependent impaired loans when the collateral is deemed to be insufficient to support the carrying value of the loan. The Bank does not recognize a recovery when an updated appraisal indicates a subsequent increase in value.

The estimation of loan loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio includes, among other procedures, (1) identification of loss allocations for individual loans deemed to be impaired, (2) loss allocation factors for non-impaired loans based on credit grade, historical loss experience, delinquency factors and other similar credit quality indicators, and (3) an unallocated allowance maintained for measurement imprecision and to reflect management’s consideration of other environment factors. We periodically reassess and revise the loss allocation factors used in the assignment of loss exposure to appropriately reflect our analysis of migrational loss experience. We analyze historical loss experience in the various portfolios over periods deemed to be relevant to the inherent risk of loss in the respective portfolios as of the balance sheet date. Revisions to loss allocation factors are not retroactively applied.

The methodology to measure the amount of estimated loan loss exposure includes an analysis of individual loans deemed to be impaired. Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that the Bank will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements and all loans restructured in a troubled debt restructuring. Impaired loans do not include large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, which consist of most residential mortgage loans and consumer loans. Impairment is measured on a discounted cash flow method based upon the loan’s contractual effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price, or if the loan is collateral dependent, at the fair value of the collateral. For collateral dependent loans for which repayment is dependent on the sale of the collateral, management adjusts the fair value for estimated costs to sell. For collateral dependent loans for which repayment is dependent on the operation of the collateral, such as accruing troubled debt restructured loans, estimated costs to sell are not incorporated

into the measurement. Management may also adjust appraised values to reflect estimated market value declines or apply other discounts to appraised values for unobservable factors resulting from its knowledge of circumstances associated with the property.

The following is a summary of impaired loans by measurement type:



(Dollars in thousands)	Mar 31, 2014		Dec 31, 2013
Collateral dependent impaired loans (1)		$16,325		$21,940
Impaired loans measured on discounted cash flow method (2)	14,800		15,553
Total impaired loans		$31,125		$37,493


(1)	Net of partial charge-offs of $2.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.


(2)	Net of partial charge-offs of $130 thousand and $141 thousand, respectively, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Impaired loans consist of nonaccrual commercial loans, troubled debt restructured loans and other loans classified as impaired. The loss allocation on impaired loans amounted to $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Various loan loss allowance coverage ratios are affected by the timing and extent of charge-offs, particularly with respect to impaired collateral dependent loans. For such loans, the Bank generally recognizes a partial charge-off equal to the identified loss exposure; therefore, the remaining allocation of loss is minimal.

Other individual commercial loans and commercial mortgage loans not deemed to be impaired are evaluated using the internal rating system and the application of loss allocation factors. The loan rating system is described under the caption “Credit Quality Indicators” in Note 5 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The loan rating system and the related loss allocation factors take into consideration parameters including the borrower’s financial condition, the borrower’s performance with respect to loan terms, and the adequacy of collateral. Portfolios of more homogeneous populations of loans including residential mortgages and consumer loans are analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency ratios and other indicators, as well as our historical loss experience for each type of credit product. We continue to periodically reassess and revise the loss allocation factors and estimates used in the assignment of loss exposure to appropriately reflect our analysis of migrational loss experience.

Appraisals are generally obtained with values determined on an “as is” basis from independent appraisal firms for real estate collateral dependent commercial loans in the process of collection or when warranted by other deterioration in the borrower’s credit status. Updates to appraisals are generally obtained for troubled or nonaccrual loans or when management believes it is warranted. The Corporation has continued to maintain appropriate professional standards regarding the professional qualifications of appraisers and has an internal review process to monitor the quality of appraisals.

For residential mortgages and real estate collateral dependent consumer loans that are in the process of collection, valuations are obtained from independent appraisal firms with values determined on an “as is” basis.

The provision for loan losses charged to earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 amounted to $300 thousand, compared to $600 thousand for the same period in 2013. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $1.1 million compared to $334 thousand for the first quarter of 2013. Included in net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2014, was an $853 thousand charge-off on the largest nonaccrual commercial mortgage relationship described under the caption “Nonaccrual Loans.”

As of March 31, 2014, the allowance for loan losses was $27.0 million, or 1.09% of total loans, compared to $27.9 million, or 1.13% of total loans, at December 31, 2013. The decline in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans reflects charge-offs and a decrease in specific reserves on impaired loans. See Note 5 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information under the caption “Credit Quality Indicators.”

Sources of Funds

Our sources of funds include deposits, brokered certificates of deposit, FHLBB borrowings, other borrowings and proceeds from the sales, maturities and payments of loans and investment securities. Washington Trust uses funds to originate and purchase loans, purchase investment securities, conduct operations, expand the branch network and pay dividends to shareholders.

Management’s preferred strategy for funding asset growth is to grow low-cost deposits, including demand deposit, NOW and savings accounts. Asset growth in excess of low-cost deposits is typically funded through higher-cost deposits (including certificates of deposit and money market accounts), brokered certificates of deposit, FHLBB borrowings, and securities portfolio cash flow.

Deposits

Washington Trust offers a wide variety of deposit products to consumer and business customers. Deposits provide an important source of funding for the Bank as well as an ongoing stream of fee revenue.

Washington Trust is a participant in the Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) program, Demand Deposit Marketplace (“DDM”) program, and the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program. Washington Trust uses these deposit sweep services to place customer funds into interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts, and/or certificates of deposits issued by other participating banks. Customer funds are placed at one or more participating bank to ensure that each deposit customer is eligible for the full amount of FDIC insurance. As a program participant, we receive reciprocal amounts of deposits from other participating banks. ICS, DDM and CDARS deposits are considered to be brokered deposits for bank regulatory purposes. We consider these reciprocal deposit balances to be in-market deposits as distinguished from traditional out of- market brokered deposits.

Total deposits amounted to $2.59 billion at March 31, 2014, up by $86.3 million, or 3%, from the balance at December 31, 2013. This included a net increase of $73.3 million of out-of-market wholesale brokered time certificates of deposit, which were

utilized as replacement funding for the prepayment of FHLBB advances in the first quarter of 2014. Excluding out-of-market brokered certificates of deposits, in-market deposits were up by by $13.1 million, or 1%, in 2014.

Demand deposits totaled $445.6 million at March 31, 2014, up by $4.8 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2013. Also included in demand deposits at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were DDM reciprocal demand deposits of $12.0 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

NOW account balances increased by $1.7 million, or 1%, and totaled $311.5 million at March 31, 2014.

Savings accounts totaled $293.3 million at March 31, 2014, down by $4.0 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2013.

Money market accounts totaled $704.4 million at March 31, 2014, up by $37.8 million, or 6%, from the balance at December 31, 2013. Included in total money market deposits were ICS reciprocal money market deposits totaling $229.0 million at March 31, 2014, up by $26.6 million from the balance at December 31, 2013.

Time deposits amounted to $836.9 million at March 31, 2014, up by $46.1 million, or 6%, from the balance at December 31, 2013. Included in time deposits at March 31, 2014 were brokered certificates of deposit of $171.3 million, up by $73.3 million from the balance at December 31, 2013 as described above. Excluding out-of-market brokered certificates of deposits, in-market time deposits totaled $665.6 million at March 31, 2014 down by $27.2 million from December 31, 2013. Included in in-market time deposits were CDARS reciprocal time deposits of $135.9 million and $157.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Borrowings

The Corporation utilizes advances from the FHLBB as well as other borrowings as part of its overall funding strategy. FHLBB advances are used to meet short-term liquidity needs, to purchase securities and to purchase loans from other institutions. FHLBB advances amounted to $203.4 million at March 31, 2014, down by $84.7 million from the balance at the end of 2013.

As disclosed in the “Overview” section under the caption “Composition of Earnings,” Washington Trust prepaid FHLBB advances totaling $99.3 million in early March 2014, These advances had a weighted average rate of 3.01% and a weighted average remaining term of thirty-six months. Other wholesale funding in the form of brokered time certificates of deposits as well as existing on balance sheet liquidity were utilized as the funding source for the prepayments. The replacement wholesale funding amounted to $80.0 million, with maturities ranging from 2015 through 2019, a weighted average maturity of thirty-five months and an initial weighted average cost of approximately 0.93%. The net impact of these funding transactions was a reduction in interest expense of approximately $170 thousand in the first quarter of 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Management

Liquidity is the ability of a financial institution to meet maturing liability obligations and customer loan demand. Washington Trust’s primary source of liquidity is deposits, which funded approximately 79% of total average assets in the three months ended March 31, 2014. While the generally preferred funding strategy is to attract and retain low cost deposits, the ability to do so is affected by competitive interest rates and terms in the marketplace. Other sources of funding include discretionary use of purchased liabilities (e.g., FHLBB term advances and brokered certificates of deposit), cash flows from the Corporation’s securities portfolios and loan repayments. Securities designated as available for sale may also be sold in response to short-term or long-term liquidity needs although management has no intention to do so at this time. For a more detailed discussion on Washington Trust’s detailed liquidity funding policy and contingency funding plan, see additional information in Item 7 under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of Washington Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Liquidity remained well within target ranges established by the Corporation’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Based on its assessment of the liquidity considerations described above, management believes the Corporation’s sources of funding will meet anticipated funding needs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in financing activities amounted to $2.3 million. FHLBB advances decreased by $84.7 million, while total deposits increased by $86.3 million in the first three months of 2014. See additional disclosure in the “Sources of Funds” section under the caption “Borrowings.” Net cash used in investing activities totaled $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The most significant elements of cash flow within investment activities

were principal payments received and maturities of mortgage backed securities and other securities, proceeds from sale of our merchant processing service business line and net outflows related to growth in the loan portfolio. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Net income totaled $9.3 million in the first three months of 2014 and the most significant adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities pertained to mortgage banking activities and the gain on the sale of our merchant processing service business line. See the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for further information about sources and uses of cash.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $335.9 million at March 31, 2014, up by $6.2 million from December 31, 2013, including $9.3 million of earnings retention and a reduction of $4.9 million for dividend declarations.

The ratio of total equity to total assets amounted to 10.51% at March 31, 2014. This compares to a ratio of 10.34% at December 31, 2013. Book value per share at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 amounted to $20.19 and $19.84, respectively.

The Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. As of March 31, 2014, the Bancorp and the Bank are categorized as “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

See Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of capital requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

For information on financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk and derivative financial instruments see Notes 10 and 17 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the primary market risk category associated with the Corporation’s operations. Interest rate risk is the risk of loss to future earnings due to changes in interest rates. The ALCO is responsible for establishing policy guidelines on liquidity and acceptable exposure to interest rate risk. Periodically, the ALCO reports on the status of liquidity and interest rate risk matters to the Bank’s Board of Directors. The objective of the ALCO is to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with Washington Trust’s liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals.

The ALCO manages the Corporation’s interest rate risk using income simulation to measure interest rate risk inherent in the Corporation’s on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments at a given point in time by showing the effect of interest rate shifts on net interest income over a 12-month horizon, the 13- to 24-month horizon and a 60-month horizon. The simulations assume that the size and general composition of the Corporation’s balance sheet remain static over the simulation horizons, with the exception of certain deposit mix shifts from low-cost core savings to higher-cost time deposits in selected interest rate scenarios. Additionally, the simulations take into account the specific repricing, maturity, call options, and prepayment characteristics of differing financial instruments that may vary under different interest rate scenarios. The characteristics of financial instrument classes are reviewed periodically by the ALCO to ensure their accuracy and consistency.

The ALCO reviews simulation results to determine whether the Corporation’s exposure to a decline in net interest income remains within established tolerance levels over the simulation horizons and to develop appropriate strategies to manage this exposure. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, net interest income simulations indicated that exposure to changing interest rates over the simulation horizons remained within tolerance levels established by the Corporation. The Corporation defines maximum unfavorable net interest income exposure to be a change of no more than 5% in net interest income over the first 12 months, no more than 10% over the second 12 months, and no more than 10% over the full 60-month simulation horizon. All changes are measured in comparison to the projected net interest income that would result from an “unchanged” rate scenario where both interest rates and the composition of the Corporation’s balance sheet remain stable for a 60-month period. In addition to measuring the change in net interest income as compared to an unchanged interest rate scenario, the ALCO also measures the trend of both net interest income and net interest margin over a 60-month horizon to ensure the stability and adequacy of this source of earnings in different interest rate scenarios.

The ALCO regularly reviews a wide variety of interest rate shift scenario results to evaluate interest risk exposure, including scenarios showing the effect of steepening or flattening changes in the yield curve of up to 500 basis points as well as parallel

changes in interest rates of up to 400 basis points. Because income simulations assume that the Corporation’s balance sheet will remain static over the simulation horizon, the results do not reflect adjustments in strategy that the ALCO could implement in response to rate shifts.

The following table sets forth the estimated change in net interest income from an unchanged interest rate scenario over the periods indicated for parallel changes in market interest rates using the Corporation’s on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Interest rates are assumed to shift by a parallel 100, 200 or 300 basis points upward or 100 basis points downward over a 12-month period, except for core savings deposits, which are assumed to shift by lesser amounts due to their relative historical insensitivity to market interest rate movements. Further, deposits are assumed to have certain minimum rate levels below which they will not fall. It should be noted that the rate scenarios shown do not necessarily reflect the ALCO’s view of the “most likely” change in interest rates over the periods indicated.



	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
	Months 1 - 12		Months 13 - 24	Months 1 - 12	Months 13 - 24
100 basis point rate decrease	(1.07	)%	(4.40)%	(1.66)%	(6.02)%
100 basis point rate increase	1.56	%	2.42%	2.22%	3.91%
200 basis point rate increase	3.33	%	4.84%	4.44%	7.16%
300 basis point rate increase	3.70	%	4.03%	5.30%	6.98%

The ALCO estimates that the negative exposure of net interest income to falling rates as compared to an unchanged rate scenario results from a more rapid decline in earning asset yields compared to rates paid on deposits. If market interest rates were to fall from their already low levels and remain lower for a sustained period, certain core savings and time deposit rates could decline more slowly and by a lesser amount than other market rates. Asset yields would likely decline more rapidly than deposit costs as current asset holdings mature or reprice, since cash flow from mortgage-related prepayments and redemption of callable securities would increase as market rates fall.

The positive exposure of net interest income to rising rates as compared to an unchanged rate scenario results from a more rapid projected relative rate of increase in asset yields than funding costs over the near term. For simulation purposes, deposit rate changes are anticipated to lag other market rates in both timing and magnitude. The ALCO’s estimate of interest rate risk exposure to rising rate environments, including those involving changes to the shape of the yield curve, incorporates certain assumptions regarding the shift in deposit balances from low-cost core savings categories to higher-cost deposit categories, which has characterized a shift in funding mix during the past rising interest rate cycles. The relative decrease in positive exposure of net interest income to rising rates from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 was largely attributable to changes in balance sheet composition and the shape of the yield curve.

While the ALCO reviews and updates simulation assumptions and also periodically back-tests the simulation results to ensure that the assumptions are reasonable and current, income simulation may not always prove to be an accurate indicator of interest rate risk or future net interest margin. Over time, the repricing, maturity and prepayment characteristics of financial instruments and the composition of the Corporation’s balance sheet may change to a different degree than estimated. Simulation modeling assumes a static balance sheet, with the exception of certain modeled deposit mix shifts from low-cost core savings deposits to higher-cost time deposits in rising rate scenarios as noted above. Due to the current low level of market interest rates, the banking industry has experienced relatively strong growth in low-cost core deposits over the past several years. The ALCO recognizes that a portion of these increased levels of low-cost balances could shift into higher yielding alternatives in the future, particularly if interest rates rise and as confidence in financial markets strengthens, and has modeled increased amounts of deposit shifts out of these low-cost categories into higher-cost alternatives in the rising rate simulation scenarios presented above. Deposit balances may also be subject to possible outflow to non-bank alternatives in a rising rate environment, which may cause interest rate sensitivity to differ from the results as presented. Another significant simulation assumption is the sensitivity of core savings deposits to fluctuations in interest rates. Income simulation results assume that changes in both core savings deposit rates and balances are related to changes in short-term interest rates. The relationship between short-term interest rate changes and core deposit rate and balance changes may differ from the ALCO’s estimates used in income simulation. It should be noted that the static balance sheet assumption does not necessarily reflect the Corporation’s expectation for future balance sheet growth, which is a function of the business environment and customer behavior. Lastly, mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans involve a level of risk that unforeseen changes in prepayment speeds may cause related cash flows to vary significantly in differing rate environments. Such changes could affect the level of reinvestment risk associated with cash flow from these instruments, as

well as their market value. Changes in prepayment speeds could also increase or decrease the amortization of premium or accretion of discounts related to such instruments, thereby affecting interest income.

The Corporation also monitors the potential change in market value of its available for sale debt securities in changing interest rate environments. The purpose is to determine market value exposure that may not be captured by income simulation, but which might result in changes to the Corporation’s capital position. Results are calculated using industry-standard analytical techniques and securities data.

The following table summarizes the potential change in market value of the Corporation’s available for sale debt securities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 resulting from immediate parallel rate shifts:

Security Type	Down 100 Basis Points		Up 200 Basis Points
U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities (noncallable)		$62		($124	)
U.S. government sponsored enterprise securities (callable)	170		(1,071		)

Total change in market value as of March 31, 2014		$5,772		($18,034	)

Total change in market value as of December 31, 2013		$6,863		($20,841	)

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Corporation carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the periods ended March 31, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The Corporation will continue to review and document its disclosure controls and procedures and consider such changes in future evaluations of the effectiveness of such controls and procedures, as it deems appropriate.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Corporation’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined by the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Corporation’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to its management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The Corporation’s management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
