10-Q
Washington Trust Bancorp reported Q1 2026 net income of $12.6 million, slightly above $12.2 million a year ago. Diluted earnings per share were $0.66, up from $0.63.
Net interest income rose to $40.5 million from $36.4 million as funding costs fell, but the provision for credit losses increased to $4.0 million from $1.2 million, largely tied to two nonaccrual commercial real estate office loans. Noninterest income declined to $17.3 million from $22.6 million, mainly because the prior year included a sizable gain on sale of bank-owned properties, while core wealth management and mortgage banking revenues grew.
Total loans decreased to $5.0 billion from $5.1 billion at year-end, and deposits fell to $5.16 billion from $5.27 billion, while Federal Home Loan Bank advances declined by $50 million. Asset quality softened: nonaccrual loans increased to $40.4 million from $12.9 million and the allowance for credit losses on loans rose to $41.1 million. Capital remained strong, with the holding company’s common equity Tier 1 ratio at 11.99% and total risk-based capital ratio at 13.38%. The company also continued its 2025 stock repurchase program, having bought back 267,658 shares at an average price of $27.26 through March 31, 2026.

Insights
Quarter shows stable earnings, higher reserves, and solid capital.
Washington Trust Bancorp generated Q1 2026 net income of $12.6M, modestly above Q1 2025, with net interest income improving to $40.5M. Lower interest expense on deposits and FHLB advances helped offset slightly lower interest income.
Credit costs rose as the allowance for credit losses on loans increased to $41.1M, with management citing specific reserves on two nonaccrual CRE office loans. Nonaccrual loans climbed to $40.4M, and individually analyzed collateral dependent loans reached $13.8M, signaling some pressure in commercial credit quality.
Balance sheet trends were mixed: total loans and deposits declined from year-end, while FHLB advances were reduced to $576.0M. Regulatory capital ratios remained comfortably above “well capitalized” levels, with a total capital ratio of 13.38% at the holding company. The ongoing repurchase of 267,658 shares through March 31, 2026 indicates active capital management within these constraints.

Allowance for credit losses financial
"Management considers the ACL on loans to be a material estimate that is particularly susceptible to change."
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.
Troubled loan modification financial
"A loan that has been modified is considered a TLM when the modification is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty"
Cash flow hedge financial
"the Corporation had interest rate swaps, interest rate collars, and interest rate floors that were designated as cash flow hedges."
A cash flow hedge is an accounting label for a contract or arrangement used to offset expected future swings in a company’s cash payments or receipts — for example from variable-rate interest, foreign currency sales, or forecasted purchases. It matters to investors because it aims to smooth future cash and earnings volatility: gains or losses on the hedge are held out of current profit and reported separately until the underlying transaction affects results, much like buying insurance to steady future bills.
Fair value hedge financial
"the Corporation had interest rate swap contracts that were designated as fair value hedges."
A fair value hedge is a risk-management technique where a company uses a financial contract to offset changes in the market value of a specific asset or liability, like locking in a price to protect against losses. Investors care because gains or losses from both the hedge and the hedged item flow through reported earnings together, which can reduce or reveal volatility in profit and the balance sheet value of holdings — much like insurance that smooths out the ups and downs of an owned item.
Level 3 financial
"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."
Level 3 describes the lowest-confidence category in the accounting “fair value” hierarchy, covering assets or liabilities whose prices are not observable in the market and must be estimated using judgment and internal models. For investors, Level 3 items matter because they can introduce greater uncertainty and potential valuation swings—like valuing a unique antique versus checking a price tag on a supermarket shelf—so they signal higher model risk and lower liquidity.
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital financial
"Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)"
Core capital a bank holds consisting mainly of common shares and retained profits that can absorb losses without forcing the bank to sell assets or seek emergency help; items that can’t reliably cover losses are excluded. Think of it as the bank’s shock-absorbing cushion: a higher common equity tier 1 (CET1) level and ratio means regulators and investors view the bank as better able to survive bad loans or market shocks, so it signals lower risk to shareholders and creditors.

Condensed Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
The Bancorp is a publicly-owned registered bank holding company that has elected to be a financial holding company. The Bancorp’s principal subsidiary is the Bank, a Rhode Island chartered financial institution founded in 1800. The Bank is the oldest community bank in the nation and the largest state-chartered bank headquartered in Rhode Island.
Washington Trust offers a full range of financial services, including commercial, residential, and consumer lending, retail and commercial deposit products, and wealth management and trust services through its offices in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Washington Trust conform to GAAP and to general practices of the banking industry.
The Corporation’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except subsidiaries that are not deemed necessary to be consolidated. Through consolidation, intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures considered necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative 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, 2025.
Use of Estimates
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. Management considers the ACL on loans to be a material estimate that is particularly susceptible to change.
Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2026
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Topic 326
Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”) was issued in July 2025 to introduce a practical expedient intended to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from revenue transactions under ASC 606. The practical expedient permits entities to assume that current conditions as of the reporting date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Corporation adopted the provisions of ASU 2025-05 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.
Accounting Standards Pending Adoption
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Subtopic 220
Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), was issued in November 2024 to enhance and provide additional disclosure on certain costs and expenses. The effective date of ASU 2024-03 was further clarified in ASU 2025-01, which was subsequently issued in January 2025. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The provisions under ASU 2024-03 can be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. ASU 2024-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Condensed Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software - Subtopic 350
Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”) was issued in September 2025 to modernize the accounting framework for internal-use software development costs to better reflect contemporary development practices. ASU 2025-06 eliminates the previous stage-based model (i.e. preliminary, application development, and post-implementation stages) and introduces a principles-based capitalization model. Under this ASU, software development costs are capitalized when management has authorized and committed to funding the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will perform its intended function. The ASU also consolidates guidance for website development costs into ASC 350-40 and aligns disclosure requirements with those under ASC 360-10, including the nature and amount of capitalized internal-use software costs, the accounting policy and capitalization criteria, any significant judgments and estimates applied, amortization methods and useful lives, and qualitative and quantitative information about major software projects. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The provisions under ASU 2025-06 can be applied on either a prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective basis. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on its financial statements.
Derivatives and Hedging - Topic 815
Accounting Standards Update No. 2025‑09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements” (“ASU 2025-09”) was issued in November 2025 to make targeted amendments to the hedge accounting guidance to better align accounting outcomes with an entity’s risk management activities and to clarify certain aspects of the guidance originally amended by ASU 2017‑12. The amendments primarily affect cash flow hedges, but also include limited changes related to fair value hedges and net investment hedges. Among other things, ASU 2025-09 expands the ability to hedge groups of forecasted transactions with similar risk exposures, provides a framework to facilitate hedge accounting for forecasted interest payments on variable‑rate debt instruments that permit changes to the reference rate and tenor, clarifies hedge accounting for forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets, updates guidance related to net written options used as hedging instruments, and addresses certain recognition and presentation matters involving foreign currency‑denominated debt used in multiple hedging relationships. ASU 2025-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied on a prospective basis, with transition provisions that allow certain hedging relationships to continue without de-designation. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-09 on its financial statements.
Interim Reporting - Topic 270
Accounting Standards Update No. 2025‑11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”) was issued in December 2025 to clarify the scope and applicability of interim reporting guidance, reorganize and clarify interim disclosure requirements, and introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events occurring since the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments are intended to improve clarity and consistency in interim reporting and do not change the underlying recognition or measurement requirements under U.S. GAAP. ASU 2025‑11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can either be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. ASU 2025-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Available for sale debt securities balances exclude accrued interest receivable of $2.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, securities with a fair value of $377.6 million and $392.4 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral for FHLB borrowings, potential borrowings with the FRBB, certain public deposits, and for other purposes. See Note 9 for additional discussion on FHLB borrowings.
The schedule of maturities of available for sale debt securities is presented below. Mortgage-backed securities are included based on weighted average maturities, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. All other debt securities are included based on contractual maturities. Actual maturities may differ from amounts presented because certain issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Included in the above table are debt securities with an amortized cost balance of $44.7 million and a fair value of $42.2 million at March 31, 2026 that are callable at the discretion of the issuers. Final maturities of the callable securities range from 1 year to 19 years, with call features ranging from 1 month to 7 years.
Assessment of Available for Sale Debt Securities for Impairment
Management assesses the decline in fair value of investment securities 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 both qualitative and quantitative factors to assess whether an impairment exists.
The following tables summarize available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, for which an ACL on securities has not been recorded, segregated by length of time that the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

There were no debt securities on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2026 and 2025 and, therefore there was no accrued interest related to debt securities reversed against interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the Corporation does not intend to sell the debt securities in an unrealized loss position and has determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the Corporation will not be required to sell each security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, management does not believe that any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. As further described below, management believes the unrealized losses on these debt securities are primarily attributable to changes in the investment spreads and interest rates. Therefore, no ACL was recorded at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Obligations of U.S. Government Agency and U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprise Securities, including Mortgage-Backed Securities
The contractual cash flows for these securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major credit rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. The issuers of these securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and none of these securities were past due at March 31, 2026. Additionally, the Corporation utilizes a zero credit loss estimate for these securities.
Individual Name Issuer Trust Preferred Debt Securities
These securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2026 included two trust preferred securities issued by two individual companies in the banking sector. Management reviewed the collectability 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. As of March 31, 2026, there was one individual name issuer trust preferred debt security with an amortized cost of $2.0 million and unrealized losses of $69 thousand that was rated below investment grade by S&P. We noted no downgrades to below investment grade between March 31, 2026 and the filing date of this report. Based on the information available through the filing date of this report, all individual name issuer trust preferred debt securities continue to accrue interest and make payments as expected with no payment deferrals or defaults on the part of the issuers.
Corporate Bonds
These securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2026 included three corporate bond holdings issued by two individual companies in the financial services industry. Management reviewed the collectability 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. As of March 31, 2026, there were no corporate bond debt securities that were rated below investment grade by S&P. We noted no downgrades to below investment grade between March 31, 2026 and the filing date of this report. Based on the information available through the filing date of this report, all corporate bond debt securities continue to accrue interest and make payments as expected with no payment deferrals or defaults on the part of the issuers.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
A significant portion of our loan portfolio is concentrated among borrowers in southern New England, and a substantial portion of the portfolio is collateralized by real estate in this area. The ability of single family residential and consumer borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic activity within the market area and real estate values. The ability of commercial borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is dependent on the general economy, as well as the health of the real estate economic sector in the Corporation’s market area.

Included in past due loans as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were nonaccrual loans of $12.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. In addition, all loans 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were classified as nonaccrual.
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. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected 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 (generally for six months), 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.

Troubled Loan Modifications
A loan that has been modified is considered a TLM when the modification is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty and the modification has a direct impact to the contractual cash flows. If both of the aforementioned criteria are met, then the modification is considered a TLM and subject to the enhanced disclosure requirements.
In the course of resolving problem loans, the Corporation may choose to modify the contractual terms of loans to borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty. Such modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may include modified contractual terms that have a direct impact to contractual cash flows, including principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, maturity extensions, other-than-insignificant payment delays, or any combination thereof. Debt could be
-16-
Condensed Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
bifurcated with separate terms for each tranche of the TLM. Executing a TLM in lieu of aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan may benefit the Corporation by increasing the ultimate probability of collection.
Nonaccrual loans that become TLMs generally remain on nonaccrual status for six months, subsequent to being modified, before management considers their return to accrual status. If a TLM is on accrual status prior to being modified, it is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status.
If the TLM successfully meets all repayment terms according to the modification documents for a specified period of time (generally 12 months) and the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty, it would be declassified from TLM status.
There were no loans modified as a TLM for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Individually Analyzed Loans
Individually analyzed loans include nonaccrual commercial loans, TLMs, as well as certain other loans based on the underlying risk characteristics and the discretion of management to individually analyze such loans.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of individually analyzed loans amounted to $37.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively.
The carrying value of collateral dependent individually analyzed loans was $13.8 million and $7.5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. For collateral dependent loans where management has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. See Note 7 for additional disclosure regarding fair value of individually analyzed collateral dependent loans.

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. Additionally, ratings 7 through 10 are considered criticized, as defined by regulatory agencies. The loan risk rating system takes into consideration parameters including the borrower’s financial condition, the borrower’s performance with respect to loan terms, the adequacy of collateral, the adequacy of guarantees, and other credit quality characteristics. The Corporation takes the risk rating into consideration along with other credit attributes in the establishment of an appropriate ACL on loans. See Note 5 for additional information.
A description of the commercial loan categories is 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 may exhibit some weakness in various credit metrics such as collateral adequacy, cash flow, performance or may be in an industry or of a loan type known to have a higher degree of risk. These weaknesses may be mitigated by secondary sources of repayment, including SBA guarantees.
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 collectability. A “doubtful” loan is placed on nonaccrual 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 risk ratings and classifications to be revised whenever information becomes available that indicates a change is warranted. On a quarterly basis, management reviews a watched asset list, which generally consists of commercial loans that are risk-rated 6 or worse, highly leveraged transaction loans, high-volatility commercial real estate, and other selected loans. Management’s review focuses on the current status of the loans, the appropriateness of risk ratings and strategies to improve the credit.
An annual credit 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.
Residential and Consumer
Management monitors the relatively homogeneous residential real estate and consumer loan portfolios on an ongoing basis using delinquency information by loan type.
In addition, other techniques are utilized to monitor indicators of credit deterioration in the residential real estate loans and home equity consumer loans. Among these techniques is the periodic tracking of loans with an updated Fair Isaac Corporation (commonly known as “FICO”) score and an updated estimated LTV ratio. LTV is estimated based on such factors as geographic location, the original appraised value, and changes in median home prices, and takes into consideration the age of the loan. The results of these analyses and other credit review procedures, including selected targeted internal
-19-

reviews, are taken into account in the determination of qualitative loss factors for residential real estate and home equity consumer credits.
Washington Trust may renew commercial loans at or immediately prior to their maturity. In the tables below, renewals subject to full credit evaluation before being granted are reported as originations in the period renewed. Loans with extensions of maturity dates of more than three months, including TLMs, are reported as originations in the period extended. Gross charge-offs are reported in the loan’s initial origination year.

Note 5 - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACL on loans is management’s estimate of expected lifetime credit losses on loans carried at amortized cost. The level of the ACL on loans is based on management’s ongoing review of all relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

For the purpose of estimating the ACL, management segregated the loan portfolio into the portfolio segments detailed in the above tables. Each of these segments possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of ACL for each segment. Some of the characteristics unique to each loan category include:
Commercial Loans
CRE loans consist of commercial mortgages secured by non-owner occupied real property where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing or permanent financing of the property. CRE loans also include construction loans made to businesses for land development or the on-site construction of industrial, commercial or residential buildings. CRE loans frequently involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Washington Trust’s commercial real estate loans are secured by a variety of property types, such as multi-family, retail, industrial and warehouse, hospitality, office, as well as other specific use properties. Collateral values are determined based upon third-party appraisals. Permissible loan to value ratios at origination are governed by the Corporation’s policy and regulatory guidelines.
C&I loans consist of revolving, non-revolving and term loans extended to commercial borrowers for the purpose of providing working capital, equipment financing and financing for other business-related purposes. C&I loans are frequently collateralized by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and/or general business assets. A portion of Washington Trust’s C&I loan portfolio is also collateralized by owner occupied real estate. C&I loans also include tax-exempt loans made to states and political subdivisions, as well as industrial development or revenue bonds issued through quasi-public corporations for the benefit of a private or non-profit entity where that entity rather than the governmental entity is obligated to pay the debt service. Washington Trust’s C&I loan portfolio includes loans to business sectors such as health care and social assistance, retail trade, transportation and warehousing, educational services, as well as other business sectors.
-22-
Condensed Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
For the commercial portfolio, the Corporation typically obtains personal guarantees for payment from individuals holding material ownership interests in the borrowing entities.
Residential Real Estate Loans
Residential real estate loans held in the Corporation’s portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors such as current and expected income, employment status, current assets, other financial resources, credit history and the value of the collateral. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on one-to-four family residential properties, including condominiums. Residential real estate loans also include loans to construct owner-occupied one-to-four family residential properties. Collateral values are determined based upon third-party appraisals. In general, loans must meet the underwriting and purchase standards imposed by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association and other institutional investors as applicable.
Consumer Loans:
Home equity loans and credit lines are made to qualified individuals and are primarily secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on one-to-four family residential properties, including condominiums. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan to value ratios within established guidelines, as set forth in the Corporation’s policy.
Other consumer loans consist of loans to individuals that are secured by general aviation aircraft and other installment loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established guidelines, as set forth in the Corporation’s policy.
Note 6 - 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. Derivatives are measured at fair value. Derivative assets are included in other assets and derivative liabilities are included in other liabilities in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 risk management agreements, such as swaps, caps, floors, and collars, are used from time to time as part of the Corporation’s interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which the Corporation and another party agree to exchange interest payments (e.g., fixed-rate for variable-rate payments or variable-rate for fixed-rate payments) computed on a notional principal amount. Interest rate caps and floors represent options purchased by the Corporation to manage the interest rate paid throughout the term of the option contract. An interest rate collar is a derivative instrument that represents simultaneously buying an interest rate cap and selling an interest rate floor. The credit risk associated with these derivative 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had interest rate swaps, interest rate collars, and interest rate floors that were designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps and collars were executed to hedge the interest rate risk associated with short-term borrowings. See Note 9 for additional disclosure on borrowings. The interest rate floors were executed to hedge the interest rate risk associated with a pool of variable rate commercial loans.
The changes in fair value of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when gains or losses are realized (i.e., in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.)
The Corporation previously had an interest rate swap contract that was designated as a cash flow hedge to hedge the interest rate risk associated with a pool of variable rate commercial loans. On March 31, 2023, the Corporation terminated this interest rate swap contract and the derivative liability was derecognized. The loss on this interest rate swap included in the AOCL component of shareholders’ equity was updated to its termination date fair value of $26.5 million, or $20.1 million
-23-

after tax. This loss is being amortized into earnings as a reduction of interest income on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the original interest rate swap term, or through May 1, 2026. At March 31, 2026, the remaining unamortized balance of the loss included in the AOCL component of shareholders’ equity was $729 thousand, or $547 thousand after tax.
Fair Value Hedging Instruments
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation had interest rate swap contracts that were designated as fair value hedges. The fair value hedges were executed to hedge the interest rate risk associated with a closed-pool of fixed-rate residential real estate loans (the “hedged item”). The hedged item is measured at fair value through a basis adjustment recognized on the balance sheet. The changes in fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges, as well as the offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged item are recognized in earnings.
Loan Related Derivative Contracts
Interest Rate Derivative Contracts with Customers
The Corporation enters into interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts to help commercial loan borrowers manage their interest rate risk. These interest rate swap contracts allow borrowers to convert variable-rate loan payments to fixed-rate loan payments, while interest rate cap contracts allow borrowers to limit their interest rate exposure in a rising rate environment. When the Corporation enters into an interest rate derivative contract with a commercial loan borrower, it simultaneously enters into a “mirror” interest rate contract with a third party. For interest rate swaps, the third party exchanges the client’s fixed-rate loan payments for variable-rate loan payments. The Corporation’s credit policies with respect to interest rate contracts with commercial borrowers are similar to those used for loans. The Corporation retains the risk that is associated with the potential failure of counterparties and the risk inherent in originating loans. The interest rate contracts with counterparties are generally subject to bilateral collateralization terms. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
Risk Participation Agreements
The Corporation has entered into risk participation agreements with other banks in commercial loan arrangements. Participating banks guarantee the performance on borrower-related interest rate swap contracts. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
Under a risk participation-out agreement, a derivative asset, the Corporation participates out a portion of the credit risk associated with the interest rate swap position executed with the commercial borrower for a fee paid to the participating bank. Under a risk participation-in agreement, a derivative liability, the Corporation assumes, or participates in, a portion of the credit risk associated with the interest rate swap position with the commercial borrower for a fee received from the other bank.
Mortgage Loan Commitments
Interest rate lock commitments are extended to borrowers and relate to the origination of mortgage loans held for sale. To mitigate the interest rate risk and pricing risk associated with rate locks and mortgage loans that are originated and intended for sale, the Corporation enters into forward sale commitments. Forward sale commitments are contracts for delayed delivery or net settlement of the underlying instrument, such as a residential mortgage loan, where the seller agrees to deliver on a specified future date, either a specified instrument at a specified price or yield or the net cash equivalent of an underlying instrument. Both interest rate lock commitments and forward sale commitments are derivative financial instruments, but do not meet criteria for hedge accounting and therefore, the changes in fair value of these commitments are recognized in earnings.

Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements
The Corporation uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments on certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Items recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include securities available for sale, mortgage loans that are originated and intended for sale to the secondary market, and derivatives. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as collateral dependent individually analyzed loans, loan servicing rights, property acquired through foreclosure or repossession, and mortgage loans reclassified to held for sale from portfolio.
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, or “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 has elected the fair value option for mortgage loans that are originated and intended for sale to the secondary market to better match changes in fair value of the loans with changes in the fair value of the forward sale commitment contracts used to economically hedge them.
The following table presents a summary of mortgage loans held for sale accounted for under the fair value option:
| (Dollars in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||
| Aggregate fair value | $ | $ | ||||||
Aggregate principal balance | ||||||||
| Difference between fair value and principal balance | $ | $ | ||||||
Changes in fair value of mortgage loans held for sale accounted for under the fair value option election are included in mortgage banking revenues in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in fair value amounted to a decrease in mortgage banking revenues of $534 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an increase in mortgage banking revenues of $225 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
There were no mortgage loans held for sale 90 days or more past due as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Valuation Techniques for Items Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Available for Sale Debt Securities
Available for sale debt securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. When available, the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of debt securities; such items are classified as Level 1. There were no Level 1 debt securities held at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Level 2 debt securities are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments. The fair value of these securities 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 includes obligations of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, including mortgage-backed securities, individual name issuer trust preferred debt securities, and corporate bonds.
-27-
Condensed Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
Debt 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 Level 3 debt securities held at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, at Fair Value
The Corporation has elected the fair value option for mortgage loans that are originated and intended for sale to the secondary market. The fair value is estimated based on current market prices for similar loans in the secondary market and therefore are classified as Level 2 assets.
Derivatives
Interest rate derivative contracts are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. Fair value measurements are determined using independent valuation software, which utilizes the present value of future cash flows discounted using market observable inputs such as forward rate assumptions. The Corporation evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties, as well as that of the Corporation. Accordingly, factors such as the likelihood of default by the Corporation and its counterparties, its net exposures, and remaining contractual life are considered 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, if any. The Corporation has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative positions fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, the credit valuation adjustments utilize Level 3 inputs. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Corporation has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Corporation has classified its derivative valuations in their entirety as Level 2.
Fair value measurements of forward loan commitments (interest rate lock commitments and forward sale commitments) are primarily based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market and therefore are classified as Level 2 assets. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments is also dependent on the ultimate closing of the loans. Pull-through rates are based on the Corporation’s historical data and reflect the Corporation’s best estimate of the likelihood that a commitment will result in a closed loan. Although the pull-through rates are Level 3 inputs, the Corporation has assessed the significance of the impact of pull-through rates on the overall valuation of its interest rate lock commitments and has determined that they are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Corporation has classified its interest rate lock commitments as Level 2.

Valuation Techniques for Items Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Collateral Dependent Individually Analyzed Loans
Collateral dependent individually analyzed loans are valued based upon the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral. Such collateral primarily consists of real estate and, to a lesser extent, other business assets. For collateral dependent loans that are expected to be repaid substantially through the sale of the collateral, management adjusts the fair value for estimated costs to sell. Management may also adjust appraised values to reflect estimated market value declines or apply other discounts to appraised values resulting from its knowledge of
-29-

Note 10 - Shareholders' Equity
Stock Repurchase Program
The 2025 Repurchase Program adopted by the Board of Directors authorizes the repurchase of up to 850,000 shares, or approximately 4 %, of the Bancorp’s outstanding common stock. This authority may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant, and subject to regulatory considerations. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. Repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program are conducted pursuant to a trading plan adopted by the Bancorp that is designed to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The 2025 Repurchase Program commenced on May 15, 2025 and expires on May 15, 2026 and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. Through March 31, 2026, the Bancorp has repurchased a total of 267,658 shares, at an average price of $27.26 and a total cost of $7.4 million, under its 2025 Repurchase Program.

In addition to the minimum regulatory capital required for capital adequacy outlined in the table above, the Corporation and the Bank are required to maintain a minimum capital conservation buffer, in the form of common equity, of 2.50%, resulting in a requirement for the Corporation and the Bank to effectively maintain total capital, Tier 1 capital, and common equity Tier 1 capital ratios of 10.50%, 8.50%, and 7.00%, respectively. The Corporation and the Bank must maintain the capital conservation buffer to avoid restrictions on the ability to pay dividends and discretionary bonuses. The Corporation’s and the Bank’s capital levels exceeded the minimum regulatory capital requirements plus the capital conservation buffer at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

For commissions and incentives that are in scope of ASC 606, such as those paid to employees in our wealth management services and banking segments in order to obtain customer contracts, contract cost assets are established. The contract cost assets are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life that the asset is expected to generate benefits. The carrying value of contract cost assets amounted to $2.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and were included in other assets in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amortization of contract cost assets is recorded within salaries and employee benefits expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note 12 - Business Segments
The Corporation manages its operations through two reportable business segments, consisting of Banking and Wealth Management Services. The Corporation’s reportable business segments are determined by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and the Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the designated CODMs.
An allocation methodology is utilized to allocate income and expenses to the business segments. Direct activities are assigned to the appropriate business segment to which the activity relates. Indirect activities, such as corporate, technology and other support functions, are allocated to business segments primarily based upon full-time equivalent employee computations.
The Banking segment includes commercial, residential, and consumer lending activities; mortgage banking activities; deposit generation; treasury management services; other banking activities, including customer support and the operation of ATMs, telephone banking, internet banking, and mobile banking services; as well as investment portfolio and wholesale funding activities.
Wealth management services and operations are provided through the Bank and its registered investment adviser subsidiary. The Wealth Management Services segment provides investment management; holistic financial planning services; personal trust and estate services, including services as trustee, personal representative, and custodian; settlement of decedents’ estates; and institutional trust services, including custody and fiduciary services.
The CODMs evaluate the financial performance of each business segment, which is measured based upon the business segment’s net income. Components of net income for the business segments that are reviewed by the CODMs include net interest income, provision for credit losses, noninterest income, noninterest expense, and income tax expense. The CODMs, in conjunction with management committees (such as the ALCO) and certain members of executive management, evaluates financial performance to make decisions related to the products and services that are offered, pricing, and the allocation of resources, for each business segment.

Note 15 - 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 and standby letters of credit, as well as derivative financial instruments, such as mortgage loan commitments, loan related derivative contracts and interest rate risk management contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Unaudited 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. See Note 6 for additional disclosure pertaining to derivative financial instruments.
Financial Instruments Whose Contract Amounts Represent Credit Risk (Unfunded Commitments)
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, 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. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no liabilities to beneficiaries resulting from standby letters of credit. Should the Corporation be required to make payments to the beneficiary, repayment from the customer to the Corporation is required.
The following table presents the contractual and notional amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk:

Management's Discussion and Analysis
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 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full-year ended December 31, 2026 or any future period.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains statements that are “forward-looking statements.” We may also make 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 our control. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different than the anticipated future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Some of the factors that might cause these differences include the following:
•changes in general business and economic conditions (including the impact of ongoing armed conflicts, tariffs, inflation, current or future U.S. government shutdowns, and concerns about liquidity) on a national basis and in the local markets in which we operate;
•interest rate changes or volatility, as well as changes in the balance and mix of loans and deposits;
•changes in customer behavior due to political, business and economic conditions;
•changes in loan demand and collectability;
•the possibility that future credit losses are higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions or adverse economic developments;
•ongoing volatility in national and international financial markets;
•reductions in the market value or outflows of wealth management AUA;
•decreases in the value of securities and other assets;
•increases in defaults and charge-off rates;
•changes in the size and nature of our competition;
•changes in, and evolving interpretations of, existing and future laws, rules and regulations;
•changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines;
•operational risks including, but not limited to, changes in information technology, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest and future pandemics;
•regulatory, litigation and reputational risks; 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, 2025, 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP
In addition to evaluating the Corporation’s results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, adjusted return on average assets, and adjusted return on average equity.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate the Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition, and therefore such information is useful to investors. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of infrequent items that may obscure trends in the Corporation’s underlying performance. 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.
Each presentation below reconciles the “as reported” GAAP measure to the adjusted non-GAAP measure.

Overview
Washington Trust offers a full range of financial services, including commercial, residential, and consumer lending, retail and commercial deposit products, and wealth management and trust services through its offices in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
Our largest source of operating income is net interest income, which is 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, mortgage banking activities, and deposit services. Our principal noninterest expenses include salaries and employee benefit costs, outsourced services (including software-as-a-service) provided by third-party vendors, occupancy and facility-related costs, and other administrative expenses.

Net income totaled $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $12.2 million reported for the same period in 2025. These results included the following infrequent transactions:
•In the first quarter of 2025, sale-leaseback transactions were completed for five branch locations and a pre-tax net gain on the sale of the bank-owned properties totaling $7.0 million was recognized within noninterest income.
•Also in the first quarter of 2025 and in connection with the termination of the Corporation's qualified pension plan, a pre-tax non-cash pension plan settlement charge of $6.4 million was recognized within noninterest expenses.
Excluding these items, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $12.6 million, compared to $11.8 million for the same period in 2025, up by $838 thousand, or 7%. These results reflected higher net interest income, as well as growth in wealth management and mortgage banking revenues, partially offset by an elevated provision for credit losses and higher salaries and benefits costs.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Average Balances / Net Interest Margin - Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis
The following table presents daily average balance, interest, and yield/rate information, as well as net interest margin on an FTE basis. Tax-exempt income is converted to an FTE basis using the statutory federal income tax rate. Unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities, changes in fair value on mortgage loans held for sale, and basis adjustments associated with fair value hedges are excluded from the average balance and yield calculations. Nonaccrual loans are included in amounts presented for loans. Interest income attributable to nonaccrual loans is included in accordance with accounting policy as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the primary source of our operating income, totaled $40.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $36.4 million, for the same period in 2025.
Net interest income is affected by factors including, but not limited to, the level of and changes in interest rates, changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan and deposit pricing strategies and competitive conditions, loan prepayment speeds, and the level of nonaccrual loans.
NIM is calculated as net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.
The improvement in net interest income, FTE net interest income and NIM discussed below largely reflected continued benefits from the December 2024 balance sheet repositioning transactions.
The following discussion presents net interest income on an FTE basis by adjusting income and yields on tax-exempt loans to be comparable to taxable loans.
FTE net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 amounted to $40.7 million, up by $4.1 million from the same period in 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreases in average interest-bearing liability balances net of decreases in average interest-earning assets increased net interest income by $793 thousand. Decreases in funding costs outpaced decreases in asset yields, increasing net interest income by $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
NIM was 2.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up by 34 basis points from 2.29% for the same period in 2025.
Total average securities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $20.1 million from the same period a year earlier primarily due to routine pay-downs. The FTE rate of return on the securities portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 3.48%, up by 5 basis points from the same period in 2025.
Total average loan balances for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $21.8 million from the comparable 2025 period, largely reflecting a decrease in the residential real estate loan portfolio. The yield on total loans for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 5.14%, down by 17 basis points from the same period in 2025.
FHLB advances and brokered time deposits are utilized as wholesale funding sources. The average balance of FHLB advances for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $299.2 million from the comparable period in 2025. The average rate paid on such advances for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 4.16%, down by 46 basis points from the same period in 2025. There were no wholesale brokered time deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $188.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 that had an average rate of 5.05%. The decline in wholesale funding balances reflected the benefits from the balance sheet repositioning transactions mentioned above, as well as increases in the average balances of in-market deposits. Rates paid on wholesale funding have declined from the prior year reflecting lower market interest rates.
Average in-market interest-bearing deposits, which excludes wholesale brokered deposits, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $279.1 million from the same period in 2025, largely reflecting increases in average balances of savings accounts and interest-bearing demand deposits. The average rate paid on in-market interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 2.42%, down by 35 basis points from the same period in 2025, largely reflecting

lower market interest rates. The average balance of noninterest-bearing demand deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $16.5 million from the same period in 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses results from management’s review of the adequacy of the ACL. The ACL is management’s estimate, at the reporting date, of expected lifetime credit losses and includes consideration of current forecasted economic conditions. Estimating an appropriate level of ACL necessarily involves a high degree of judgment.

The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, largely reflected an increase in specific reserves on two CRE office segment loans, which was partially offset by a decline in loan portfolio balances. See additional discussion regarding these two loans under the caption “Nonaccrual Loans.”
Net charge-offs totaled $10 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2025. See additional discussion regarding the ACL under the caption “Asset Quality” below.
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:

Adjusted noninterest income (non-GAAP) | $17,303 | $15,649 | $1,654 | 11 | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Noninterest Income Analysis
Total noninterest income amounted to $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $22.6 million for the same period in 2025. Total noninterest income in 2025 was impacted by the gain on sale-leaseback transactions as described under the caption “Summary” above. Excluding the impact of this infrequent transaction, adjusted noninterest income (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was up by $1.7 million, or 11%, from the same period in 2025.
Wealth management revenues represent our largest source of noninterest income. A substantial portion of wealth management revenues is dependent on the value of wealth management AUA 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. Wealth management revenues also include “transaction-based” revenues that are not primarily derived from the value of assets.

Wealth management revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $756 thousand, or 8%, from the same period in 2025, largely reflecting an increase in asset-based revenues. The increase in asset-based revenues correlated with the change in average AUA balances. The average balance of AUA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by 10% over the average balance for the same period in 2025, primarily reflecting net investment appreciation of AUA.
Mortgage banking revenues are dependent on mortgage origination volume and are sensitive to interest rates and the condition of housing markets. The composition of mortgage banking revenues and the volume of loans sold to the secondary market are shown in the following table:

Noninterest Expense Analysis
Total noninterest expense amounted to $37.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $42.2 million for the same period in 2025. Total noninterest expense in 2025 was impacted by the settlement charge associated with termination of the Corporation’s qualified pension plan, as described under the caption “Summary” above. Excluding the impact of this infrequent transaction, adjusted noninterest expense (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was up by $2.0 million, or 6%, from the same period in 2025.
Salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest component of total noninterest expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $1.9 million, or 9%, compared to the same period in 2025. This primarily reflected merit increases and the addition of resources in our commercial banking and wealth management business lines, as well as volume-related increases in mortgage originator commission expense.
FDIC insurance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $327 thousand, or 26%, compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting a decrease in average assets from a year ago and a lower FDIC deposit assessment rate.
Income Taxes
The following table presents the Corporation’s income tax provision and applicable tax rates for the periods indicated:
| (Dollars in thousands) | |||||||||||||||||
| Three months ended March 31, | 2026 | 2025 | |||||||||||||||
| Income tax expense | $3,463 | $3,490 | |||||||||||||||

| Effective tax rate | 21.6 | % | 22.3 | % | |||||||||||||
Adjusted effective tax rate (non-GAAP) | 21.6 | % | 22.2 | % | |||||||||||||
| Blended statutory rate | 25.0 | % | 25.3 | % | |||||||||||||
The effective tax rates differed from the federal rate of 21%, primarily due to state income tax expense, which was partially offset by benefits from tax-exempt income, income from BOLI, and federal tax credits. The blended statutory rates include the federal income tax rate of 21% and a blended state income tax rate net of a federal tax benefit.
The decrease in the effective tax rate reflected changes in state tax expense and increased federal tax credit benefits.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The Corporation’s net deferred tax assets are reported in other assets and amounted to $36.6 million at March 31, 2026, down from $36.9 million at December 31, 2025. Management believes deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, are more-likely-than-not to be realized.

Net interest income for the Banking segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $4.1 million from the same period in 2025. Net interest income benefited from lower rates paid on, and decreases in, average interest-bearing liability balances, which was partially offset by lower yields on, and decreases in, average interest-earning asset balances. See additional discussion under the caption “Net Interest Income” above.
The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $2.8 million from the same period in 2025. See additional discussion under the caption “Provision for Credit Losses” above.

Securities
Investment security activity is monitored by the Investment Committee, the members of which also sit on the ALCO. Asset and liability management objectives are the primary influence on the Corporation’s investment activities. However, the Corporation also recognizes that there are certain specific risks inherent in investment activities. The securities portfolio is managed in accordance with regulatory guidelines and established internal corporate investment policies that provide limitations on specific risk factors such as market risk, credit risk and concentration, liquidity risk, and operational risk to help monitor risks associated with investing in securities. Reports on the activities conducted by the Investment Committee and the ALCO are presented to the Board of Directors on a regular basis.
The Corporation’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 maintain a portfolio of trading securities and does not have securities designated as held to maturity. Securities available for sale may be sold in response to changes in market conditions, prepayment risk, rate fluctuations, liquidity, or capital requirements. Debt

Management's Discussion and Analysis
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.
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. Management reviews the independent pricing service’s documentation to gain an understanding of the appropriateness of the pricing methodologies. Management 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, management periodically performs independent price tests of securities to ensure proper valuation and to verify our understanding of how securities are priced. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, management did not make any adjustments to the prices provided by the pricing service.
Our fair value measurements generally utilize Level 2 inputs, representing 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.
See Notes 3 and 7 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the determination of fair value of investment securities.

The securities portfolio represented 14% of total assets at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The largest component of the securities portfolio is mortgage-backed securities, all of which are issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.
The securities portfolio decreased by $28.4 million, or 3%, from the end of 2025. This largely reflected routine pay-downs on mortgage-backed securities.
The carrying amounts of available for sale debt securities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 included net unrealized losses of $96.6 million and $94.9 million, respectively. The net unrealized losses were primarily concentrated in obligations of U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, including mortgage-backed securities, and primarily attributable to relative changes in market interest rates since the time of purchase. See Note 3 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Loans
We primarily serve individuals and businesses located in southern New England, and a substantial portion of our loans are secured by properties in southern New England. Total loans amounted to $5.0 billion at March 31, 2026, down by $119.5 million, or 2%, from the end of 2025.

Commercial Loans
The commercial loan portfolio represented 53% of total loans at March 31, 2026, compared to 54% at December 31, 2025.
In making commercial loans, we may occasionally solicit the participation of other banks. The Bank also participates in commercial loans originated by other banks. In such cases, these loans are individually underwritten by us using standards similar to those employed for our self-originated loans. Our participation in commercial loans originated by other banks amounted to $543.6 million and $613.5 million, respectively, at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Our participation in commercial loans originated by other banks also includes shared national credits. Shared national credits are defined as participation in loans or loan commitments of at least $100.0 million that are shared by three or more banks.
Commercial loans fall into two main categories, CRE and C&I loans. CRE loans consist of commercial mortgages secured by non-owner occupied real property where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing or permanent financing of the property. CRE loans also include construction loans made to businesses for land development or the on-site construction of industrial, commercial, or residential buildings. C&I loans primarily provide working capital, equipment financing, and financing for other business-related purposes. C&I loans are frequently collateralized by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and/or general business assets. A portion of the Bank’s C&I loans is also collateralized by owner occupied real estate. C&I loans also include tax-exempt loans made to states and political subdivisions, as well as industrial development or revenue bonds issued through quasi-public corporations for the benefit of a private or non-profit entity where that entity rather than the governmental entity is obligated to pay the debt service.
From time to time, commercial loans may be reclassified between CRE and C&I categories, reflecting underlying changes in loans to/from owner occupied from/to non-owner occupied. Additionally, certain construction loans may be reclassified to C&I when the construction phase is complete and the loan transitions to permanent financing.
Commercial Real Estate Loans
CRE loans totaled $2.1 billion at March 31, 2026, down by $99.2 million, or 4.5%, from the balance at December 31, 2025. In the first three months of 2026, CRE advances and originations amounted to $39.3 million and were more than offset by payments.

Multi-family, our largest single CRE segment, totaled $640.0 million as of March 31, 2026, representing 13% of total loans and 31% of the total CRE portfolio. This segment includes non-owner occupied residential properties consisting of four or more units that are rented to tenants. At March 31, 2026, the credit quality of the multi-family segment was 100% pass-rated. Also, there were no nonaccrual loans and all loans were current with respect to payment terms at March 31, 2026 in this segment.
There continues to be heightened focus in the banking industry on the CRE office sector, given the continuation of remote work and elevated vacancies across the office market. As of March 31, 2026, Washington Trust’s CRE office loan segment totaled $231.0 million, or 5% of total loans and 11% of the total CRE loans. The loans are secured by non-owner occupied office properties, including medical office and lab space, located in our primary lending market area of southern New England - Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Furthermore, approximately 65% of the CRE office segment balance is secured by properties located in suburban areas. As of March 31, 2026, 97% of the CRE office segment was current with respect to payment terms, and 87% of the CRE office segment was on accruing status. Additionally, the credit

The residential real estate loan portfolio represented 40% of total loans at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Residential real estate loans amounted to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2026, down by $21.3 million, or 1%, from the balance at December 31, 2025, as loan originations were more than offset by payments.

Residential real estate loans are originated both for sale to the secondary market as well as for retention in the Bank’s loan portfolio. We also originate residential real estate loans for various investors in a broker capacity, including conventional mortgages and reverse mortgages. Residential real estate loan origination and refinancing activities are sensitive to interest rates and the condition of housing markets.

We have active relationships with various secondary market investors that purchase residential real estate loans we originate. In addition to managing our interest rate risk position and earnings through the sale of these loans, we are also able to manage our liquidity position through timely sales of residential real estate loans to the secondary market.
Loans are sold with servicing retained or released. Loans sold with servicing rights retained result in the capitalization of servicing rights. Loan servicing rights are included in other assets and are subsequently amortized as an offset to mortgage banking revenues over the estimated period of servicing. The net balance of capitalized servicing rights amounted to $6.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for others, which are not included in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, amounted to $1.3 billion at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Consumer Loans
The consumer loan portfolio represented 7% of total loans at March 31, 2026, compared to 6% at December 31, 2025.
Consumer loans include home equity loans and lines of credit and personal installment loans. Home equity lines of credit and home equity loans represented 95% of the total consumer portfolio at March 31, 2026. Our home equity line and home equity loan origination activities are conducted primarily in southern New England. The Bank estimates that approximately 45% of the combined home equity lines of credit and home equity loan balances are first lien positions or subordinate to other Washington Trust mortgages.
The consumer loan portfolio totaled $332.8 million at March 31, 2026, down by $3.1 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2025, largely reflecting a decrease in home equity lines.
Asset Quality
The Corporation continually monitors the asset quality of the loan portfolio using all available information.
In the course of resolving problem loans, the Corporation may choose to modify the contractual terms of certain loans. A loan that has been modified is considered a TLM when the modification is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty and the modification has a direct impact to the contractual cash flows. The decision to modify a loan, versus aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan, may benefit the Corporation by increasing the ultimate probability of collection. See Note 4 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding TLMs.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and OREO.

Nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2026 totaled $40.4 million, up by $27.5 million from the end of 2025. Two CRE office segment loans with underlying properties located in our primary lending area of Southern New England were placed on nonaccrual status. The first loan had a carrying value of $22.3 million at March 31, 2026 and was placed on nonaccrual status when notification of a tenant’s intent to vacate was received in March and workout discussions continued. The underlying office property is approximately 60% occupied. As management works to resolve this problem loan, a specific reserve was added in first quarter reflecting the estimated loss resulting from a proposed modification structure. The second loan had a carrying value of $6.6 million at March 31, 2026 and was placed on nonaccrual status as the loan matured and renewal terms were being negotiated in March. The loan is collateral dependent and a specific reserve was added in the first quarter reflecting the estimated decrease in the fair value of the collateral based on a new appraisal that was received in early April.

| Total past due loans | $16,448 | 0.33 | % | $11,383 | 0.22 | % | |||||||||||
(1)Percentage of past due loans to the total loans outstanding within the respective loan class.
The composition of past due loans (loans past due 30 days or more) was 57% residential and consumer and 43% commercial as of March 31, 2026, compared to 94% residential and consumer and 6% commercial as of December 31, 2025.
Total past due loans increased by $5.1 million from the end of 2025, due to the nonaccrual CRE loan with a carrying value of $6.6 million at March 31, 2026 that matured in first quarter and is further discussed above.
Total past due loans included $12.3 million of nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2026, compared to $8.3 million as of December 31, 2025.
All loans 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were classified as nonaccrual.
Potential Problem Loans
Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing in accordance with contractual terms, but where possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have doubts about the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in such loans becoming nonperforming at some time in the future. The Corporation classifies certain loans as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” based on criteria consistent with guidelines provided by banking regulators. Management considers potential problem loans to be classified accruing commercial loans that were less than 90 days past due at March 31, 2026. Potential problem loans are not included in the amounts of nonaccrual loans presented above.
Potential problem loans are assessed for loss exposure using the methods described in Note 4 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption “Credit Quality Indicators.” 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 modified, or require an increased allowance coverage and provision for credit losses on loans.
Management has identified $6.1 million in potential problem loans at March 31, 2026, compared to $28.4 million at December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the balance of potential problem loans consisted of one CRE loan secured by an office property in our primary lending market area. At March 31, 2026, this loan was current with respect to payment terms.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACL on loans is management’s estimate of expected lifetime credit losses on loans carried at amortized cost. The ACL on loans is established through a provision for credit losses recognized in earnings. The ACL on loans is reduced by charge-offs on loans and is increased by recoveries of amounts previously charged off. There were no significant changes in our modeling methodology to determine the ACL on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
-61-
Management's Discussion and Analysis
The Corporation’s general practice is to identify problem credits early. To determine if a loan should be charged-off, all possible sources of repayment are analyzed. Possible sources of repayment include the potential for future cash flows, the value of underlying collateral, and the strength of guarantors. Full or partial charge-offs are recognized as promptly as practicable when available information confirms that the collection of loan principal is unlikely. For collateral dependent loans, this confirming information may include an appraisal that reflects a shortfall between the value of the collateral and the carrying value of the loan or a deficiency balance following the sale of the collateral.
Appraisals are generally obtained with values determined on an “as is” basis from independent appraisal firms for real estate collateral dependent loans in the process of collection or when warranted by other deterioration in the borrower’s credit status. New appraisals are generally obtained for 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.
The Corporation does not recognize a recovery when new appraisals indicate a subsequent increase in value.

The ACL on loans amounted to $41.1 million at March 31, 2026, up by $3.9 million, or 10%, from the balance at December 31, 2025. The ACL on loans as a percentage of total loans, also known as the reserve coverage ratio, was 0.82% at March 31, 2026, compared to 0.73% at December 31, 2025. ACL on loans as percentage of nonaccrual loans was 101.70% at March 31, 2026, compared to 288.14% at December 31, 2025.
Net charge-offs totaled $10 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The increase in the ACL on loans from December 31, 2025 largely reflected specific reserve allocations on the two individually analyzed nonaccrual CRE office segment loans noted above. See additional disclosure regarding our ACL methodology in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
The ACL on loans is an estimate and ultimate losses may vary from management’s estimate. Deteriorating conditions or assumptions could lead to further increases in the ACL on loans; conversely, improving conditions or assumptions could lead to further reductions in the ACL on loans.

Sources of Funds
Our sources of funds include in-market deposits, wholesale brokered deposits, FHLB advances, other borrowings, and proceeds from the sales, maturities, and payments of loans and investment securities. The Corporation uses funds to originate and purchase loans, purchase investment securities, conduct operations, expand the branch network, and pay dividends to shareholders.
Deposits
The Corporation 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.
The Bank is a participant in the DDM, ICS and CDARS programs. The Bank uses these deposit sweep services to place customer and client funds into interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts, and/or time deposits issued by other participating banks. Customer and client funds are placed at one or more participating banks 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. We consider these reciprocal deposit balances to be in-market deposits as distinguished from traditional wholesale brokered deposits.

In-market deposits, which exclude wholesale brokered time deposits, were down by $105.4 million, or 2%, from the balance at December 31, 2025. There were no wholesale brokered time deposits at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. Competition for deposits in our market area is strong, and continued demand for higher‑cost deposit products remains. Washington Trust remains focused on maintaining existing depositor relationships and supporting organic deposit growth.

Borrowings
Borrowings primarily consist of FHLB advances, which are used as a source of funding for liquidity and interest rate risk management purposes. FHLB advances totaled $576.0 million at March 31, 2026, down by $50.0 million, or 8%, from the balance at the end of 2025. For additional information regarding FHLB advances see Note 9 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Management
The Corporation proactively manages its liquidity and cash flow requirements with the intent to maintain stable, cost-effective funding and to promote the strength of its overall balance sheet. The liquidity position of the Corporation is continuously monitored by management and adjustments are made to appropriately balance sources and uses of funds, as needed. For further details surrounding the Corporation’s liquidity risks and related strategy, see the “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management” section below.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $546.8 million at March 31, 2026, up by $3.2 million from December 31, 2025. This net increase primarily reflected net income of $12.6 million, partially offset by dividend declarations of $10.8 million.
Washington Trust declared a quarterly dividend of 56 cents per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, unchanged from the 56 cents per share declared for the same period in 2025.
The ratio of total equity to total assets amounted to 8.47% at March 31, 2026, compared to a ratio of 8.21% at December 31, 2025. Book value per share was $28.72 at March 31, 2026, compared to $28.56 at December 31, 2025.
The Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements and are considered “well capitalized,” with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.38% at March 31, 2026, compared to 12.95% at December 31, 2025.
See Note 10 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding shareholders’ equity.
Risk Management
The Corporation has a comprehensive ERM program through which the Corporation identifies, measures, monitors, and controls current and emerging material risks.
The Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of the ERM program. The ERM program enables the aggregation of risk across the Corporation and ensures the Corporation has the tools, programs, and processes in place to support informed

Management's Discussion and Analysis
decision making, to anticipate risks before they materialize and to maintain the Corporation’s risk profile consistent with its risk strategy. The Board of Directors has approved an ERM Policy and risk appetite statement that addresses each category of risk and outlines the types and levels of risk the Corporation is willing to accept to achieve its strategic objectives. The risk categories include: credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, price and market risk, compliance risk, strategic and reputation risk, and operational risk. A description of each risk category is provided below.
Credit risk represents the possibility that borrowers or other counterparties may not repay loans or other contractual obligations according to their terms due to changes in the financial capacity, ability, and willingness of such borrowers or counterparties to meet their obligations. In some cases, the collateral securing payment of the loans may be sufficient to assure repayment, but in other cases the Corporation may experience significant credit losses, which could have an adverse effect on its operating results. The Corporation makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of its loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of its borrowers and counterparties and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of loans. Credit risk also exists with respect to investment securities. For further discussion regarding the credit risk and the credit quality of the Corporation’s loan portfolio, see Notes 4 and 5 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. For further discussion regarding credit risk associated with unfunded commitments, see Note 15 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. For further discussion regarding the Corporation’s securities portfolio, see Note 3 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest rate risk is the risk of loss to earnings due to movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from differences between the timing of rate changes and the timing of cash flows. It exists because the repricing frequency and magnitude of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are not identical. See the “Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk” section below for additional disclosure.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not have the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash in the most economical way for it to meet its maturing liability obligations and customer loan demand. Liquidity risk includes the inability to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources. For detailed disclosure regarding liquidity management, see the “Liquidity Risk Management” section below.
Price and market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and other relevant market rates and prices, such as equity prices. Interest rate risk, discussed above, is the most significant market risk to which the Corporation is exposed. The Corporation is also exposed to financial market risk and housing market risk.
Compliance risk represents the risk of regulatory sanctions or financial loss resulting from the failure to comply with laws, rules, and regulations and standards of good banking practice. Activities that may expose the Corporation to compliance risk include, but are not limited to, those dealing with the prevention of money laundering, privacy and data protection, adherence to all applicable laws and regulations, and employment and tax matters.
Strategic and reputation risk represent the risk of loss due to impairment of reputation, failure to fully develop and execute business plans, and failure to assess existing and new opportunities and threats in business, markets, and products.
Operational risk is the risk of loss due to human behavior, inadequate or failed internal processes, systems and controls, information technology changes or failures, and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, cybersecurity incidents, natural disasters, and security risks.
ERM is an overarching program that includes all areas of the Corporation. A framework approach is utilized to assign responsibility and to ensure that the various business units and activities involved in the risk management life-cycle are effectively integrated. The Corporation has adopted the “three lines of defense” strategy that is an industry best practice for ERM. Business units are the first line of defense in managing risk. They are responsible for identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling current and emerging risks. They must report on and escalate their concerns. Corporate functions such as Credit Risk Management, Financial Administration, Information Assurance, and Compliance represent the second line of defense. They are responsible for policy setting and for reviewing and challenging the risk management activities of the business units. They collaborate closely with business units on planning and resource allocation with respect to risk management. Internal Audit is a third line of defense. They provide independent assurance to the Board of Directors of the effectiveness of the first and second lines in fulfilling their risk management responsibilities.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For additional factors that could adversely impact Washington Trust’s future results of operations and financial condition, see Part II, Item 1A below and the section labeled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the SEC.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk
The ALCO establishes policies governing liquidity and interest rate risk and reports quarterly to the Corporation’s Audit Committee. The objective of the ALCO is to manage assets and funding sources in alignment with the Corporation’s liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk, and profitability goals.
The Corporation utilizes the size and duration of the investment securities portfolio, the size and duration of the wholesale funding portfolio, interest rate contracts, and the pricing and structure of loans and deposits, to manage interest rate risk. The interest rate contracts may include interest rate swaps, caps, floors, and collars. These interest rate contracts involve, to varying degrees, credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur if a counterparty to a transaction fails to perform according to terms of the contract. The notional amount of the interest rate contracts is the amount upon which interest and other payments are based. The notional amount is not exchanged, and therefore, should not be taken as a measure of credit risk. See Note 6 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The ALCO uses income simulation to measure interest rate risk inherent in the Corporation’s 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 and a 13- to 24-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 lower-cost to higher-cost 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. Mortgage-backed securities and residential real estate 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 characteristics of financial instrument classes are reviewed periodically by the ALCO to ensure their accuracy and consistency.
Deposit balances may also be subject to possible outflow to non-bank alternatives in a rising rate environment. This may cause interest rate sensitivity to differ from the results as presented. Another significant simulation assumption is the sensitivity of savings deposits to fluctuations in interest rates. Income simulation results assume that changes in both savings deposit rates and balances are related to changes in short-term interest rates. The relationship between short-term interest rate changes and deposit rate and balance changes may differ from the ALCO’s estimates used in income simulation.
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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, net interest income simulations indicated that exposure to changing interest rates over the simulation horizons remained within tolerance levels established by the Corporation. 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. The unchanged rate scenario as of March 31, 2026 shows net interest income trending higher over the next 12- and 24-month periods.
The ALCO regularly reviews a wide variety of interest rate shift scenario results to evaluate interest rate risk exposure, including parallel changes in interest rates and scenarios showing the effect of steepening or flattening changes in the yield curve. Because income simulations assume that the Corporation’s balance sheet will generally remain static over the simulation horizon, the results do not reflect adjustments in strategy that the ALCO could implement in response to rate shifts. It should also 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.
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 NIM. 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The following table sets forth the estimated change in net interest income compared to an unchanged 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Interest rates are assumed to shift by parallel rate changes as shown in the table below. 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.

The relative change in interest rate sensitivity from December 31, 2025, as shown in the above table, was attributable to changes in balance sheet composition and market interest rates. The changes reflected lower balances in loans, in-market deposits, and wholesale funding.
The ALCO estimates that as interest rates change, interest-earning assets would reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities. In-market deposit rate changes are modeled to lag behind other market interest rates in both pace and magnitude. In addition, prepayments of loans and securities generally increase as market interest rates decline and decrease as market interest rates rise.
Additionally, the Corporation 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025 resulting from immediate parallel rate shifts:

Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity is the ability of a financial institution to meet maturing liability obligations and customer loan demand. The Corporation’s primary source of liquidity is in-market deposits, which funded approximately 79% of total average assets in the three months ended March 31, 2026. 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., FHLB term advances and brokered deposits), cash flows from the investment securities portfolio, 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The Corporation has a detailed liquidity funding policy and a contingency funding plan that provide for the prompt and comprehensive response to unexpected demands for liquidity. Management employs stress testing methodology to estimate needs for contingent funding that could result from unexpected outflows of funds in excess of “business as usual” cash flows. In management’s estimation, risks are concentrated in two major categories: (1) runoff of in-market deposit balances; and (2) unexpected drawdown of loan commitments. Of the two categories, potential runoff of deposit balances would have the most significant impact on contingent liquidity. Our stress test scenarios, therefore, emphasize attempts to quantify deposits at risk over selected time horizons. In addition to these unexpected outflow risks, several other “business as usual” factors enter into the calculation of the adequacy of contingent liquidity including: (1) payment proceeds from loans and investment securities; (2) maturing debt obligations; and (3) maturing time deposits. The Corporation has established collateralized borrowing capacity with the FRBB and also maintains additional collateralized borrowing capacity with the FHLB in excess of levels used in the ordinary course of business. Borrowing capacity is impacted by the amount and type of assets available to be pledged.
The table below presents a summary of contingent liquidity balances by source:
| (Dollars in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||
| Contingent Liquidity: | ||||||||

(1)As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, loans with a carrying value of $2.8 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, and securities available for sale with carrying values of $70.3 million and $71.8 million, respectively, were pledged to the FHLB resulting in this additional borrowing capacity.
(2)As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, loans with a carrying value of $55.0 million and $58.3 million, respectively, and securities available for sale with a carrying value of $55.9 million and $57.6 million, respectively, were pledged to the FRBB for the discount window resulting in this additional unused borrowing capacity.
(3)Available cash liquidity excludes amounts restricted for collateral purposes and designated for operating needs.
In addition to the amounts presented above, the Bank also had access to a $40.0 million unused line of credit with the FHLB at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The ALCO establishes and monitors internal liquidity measures to manage liquidity exposure. Liquidity remained within target ranges established by the ALCO during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Based on its assessment of the liquidity considerations described above, management believes the Corporation’s sources of funding meet anticipated funding needs.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into contractual obligations that require future cash payments. These include payments related to lease obligations, time deposits with stated maturity dates, and borrowings. Also, in the ordinary course of business, the Corporation engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in the financial statements, or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. These financial transactions include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, forward loan commitments, loan related derivative contracts and interest rate risk management contracts. For additional information on derivative financial instruments and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk see Notes 6 and 15 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
