How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

5 terms

net interest margin financial

"Net interest margin ("NIM") expanded to 2.84%, up by 11 basis points."

Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.

common equity tier 1 ratio regulatory

"with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 11.93% at September 30, 2026."

The common equity tier 1 ratio is a measure of a bank's financial strength, showing how much high-quality core capital it has compared to its total risk-weighted assets. Think of it as a safety buffer or cushion that helps ensure the bank can withstand economic shocks. For investors, a higher ratio indicates a stronger, more resilient bank, making it a key indicator of its financial health.

nonaccrual loans financial

"Nonaccrual loans were $24.5 million, or 0.48% of total loans"

Nonaccrual loans are loans a lender has stopped counting toward interest income because the borrower is overdue or unlikely to pay; the lender only records cash payments received and may set aside extra funds to cover potential losses. For investors, a rising number or amount of nonaccrual loans signals weaker credit quality, lower future interest revenue and larger potential write-downs — similar to pausing expected subscription income when many customers stop paying.

allowance for credit losses financial

"The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans amounted to $40.5 million"

Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.

available for sale financial

"fair value of available for sale securities"

Available for sale describes investments, usually bonds or stocks, that a company intends to keep but may sell before they mature; they are reported at current market value on the balance sheet while any unrealized profit or loss is kept separate from regular earnings. For investors, this matters because changes in market value affect a company’s reported net worth and can become realized gains or losses when sold, similar to how the changing resale value of a collectible affects your net wealth even before you sell it.

• Net interest income for the third quarter of 2026 amounted to $44.7 million and included the receipt of previously unrecognized second quarter interest income of $283 thousand (equivalent to $0.01 per diluted share or a 2 basis points benefit to NIM) associated with the resolution of a commercial real estate office loan that returned to accruing status in the third quarter.
• Average interest-earning assets increased by $104 million, and the yield was up by 7 basis points.
• Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $52 million, and the rate was down by 3 basis points.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was up by $1.6 million, or 9%.  Compared to the third quarter of 2025, noninterest income was up by $2.6 million, or 15%.

• Wealth management revenues decreased by $112 thousand, or 1%, as increased asset-based revenues were offset by a seasonal decline in tax servicing fee income.  Compared to the third quarter of 2025, wealth management revenues increased by $716 thousand, or 7%.
• Mortgage banking revenues were down by $318 thousand, or 9%, reflecting a decrease in the mortgage pipeline and rising market interest rates.  Compared to the third quarter of 2025, mortgage banking revenues were down by 10%.
• Loan related derivative income totaled $1.5 million, up by $924 thousand, driven by increased commercial borrower demand for interest rate swap transactions.
• Income from bank-owned life insurance totaled $1.9 million, up by $959 thousand, due to the recognition of a non-taxable gain of $954 thousand (equivalent to $0.05 per diluted share).

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was up by $200 thousand, or 0.5%.  Compared to the third quarter of 2025, noninterest expense was up by $3.1 million, or 9%.

• Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased by $188 thousand, or 0.7%.  Compared to the third quarter of 2025, salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $2.5 million, or 11%, reflecting annual merit and staffing increases.
• All other noninterest expenses increased by $388 thousand, or 3%, largely reflecting volume-related increases in outsourced services expense.  Compared to the third quarter of 2025, all other noninterest expenses increased by $621 thousand, or 5%.

Income Tax
Income tax expense was up by $692 thousand.  The effective tax rate was 20.4%, compared to 21.2%.  The Corporation expects its full-year 2026 effective tax rate to be approximately 21.5%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION (Sep 30, 2026 vs. Jun 30, 2026, unless otherwise noted):

Investment Securities
The securities portfolio totaled $818 million, down by $68 million, or 8%, reflecting a decrease of $44 million in the fair value of available for sale securities, as well as routine pay-downs.  The securities portfolio represented 13% of total assets, compared to 14%.

Loans
Total loans amounted to $5.2 billion, up by $62 million, or 1%.

• Commercial loans increased by $62 million, or 2%, driven by growth in the commercial real estate portfolio.
• Residential real estate loans decreased by $12 million, or 1%.
• Consumer loans increased by $12 million, or 3%.

Deposits and Borrowings
Total deposits amounted to $5.4 billion, and were up by $77 million, or 1%.  Compared to September 30, 2025, deposits were up by $213 million, or 4%.

There were no wholesale brokered deposits at September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, or September 30, 2025. 

FHLB advances totaled $376 million, and were down by $80 million, or 18%.  Compared to September 30, 2025, FHLB advances were down by $415 million, or 52%.  This decline reflected increases in deposits and timing of liquidity management activities.

Contingent liquidity amounted to $2.1 billion at September 30, 2026 and consisted of available cash, unencumbered securities, and unused collateralized borrowing capacity.

Capital and Dividends
Total shareholders' equity was $530.8 million, down by $22.8 million, or 4%, as net income was offset by a decline in the accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") component of shareholders' equity, as well as quarterly dividend declarations.  The decrease in AOCI was driven by the reduction in fair value of available for sale debt securities due to changes in market interest rates.

• The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 56 cents per share for the third quarter.  The dividend was paid on October 9, 2026 to shareholders of record on October 1, 2026.
• Capital levels exceeded the regulatory minimum levels to be considered well capitalized, with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 11.93%, compared to 11.89%.
• Book value per share was $27.82, compared to $29.02.

ASSET QUALITY (Sep 30, 2026 vs. Jun 30, 2026, unless otherwise noted):
Nonaccrual loans were $24.5 million, or 0.48% of total loans, down from $39.8 million, or 0.78%.  Past due loans were $27.9 million, or 0.54% of total loans, down from $41.4 million, or 0.81%.

The improvement in asset quality was driven by the resolution of one commercial real estate office loan for $22.3 million that was previously placed on nonaccrual status in the first quarter of 2026.  In the third quarter, this loan was restructured and bifurcated, resulting in $18.5 million being returned to accruing status and $3.8 million being charged off.

The provision for credit losses totaled $1.8 million in the third quarter, compared to $1.6 million in the prior quarter.

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans amounted to $40.5 million, or 0.78% of total loans, compared to $42.6 million, or 0.83%.  The ACL on loans to total loans (coverage ratio) is affected by the timing and extent of charge-offs. Net charge-offs totaled $3.9 million in the third quarter, compared to $55 thousand in the preceding quarter.

Supplemental Information - Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Washington Trust's management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information, such as adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, and adjusted efficiency ratio, as well as measurements and ratios based on tangible equity and tangible assets, is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company's financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors.  These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures, which may be presented by other companies.  Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
