EXHIBIT 99.1
Washington Banking Company 1Q13 Profits Stable at $4.6 Million;
Generates Return on Average Equity of 10.18% and Return on Average Assets of 1.11%
OAK HARBOR, WA – April 25, 2013 – Washington Banking Company (NASDAQ: WBCO), the holding company for Whidbey Island Bank, today reported it earned $4.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, even with the preceding quarter and down slightly from $4.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012. Continuing improvement in asset quality, solid contribution from mortgage originations and the ongoing shift of deposits into lower cost transaction accounts contributed to first quarter 2013 earnings.
“The residential mortgage market remains healthy, even though activity in the first quarter moderated from the feverish pace set in 2012,” said Jack Wagner, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our first quarter loan production was also more moderate than at the end of 2012, with average loans up 1.8% in the quarter and 3.6% year-over-year. At quarter end, the non-covered loan portfolio was down 1.1% in the quarter and up 3.1% from a year ago, reflecting normal payments and amortization of the loan portfolio. Mortgage banking income contributed $1.0 million to first quarter revenues, down from the high point reached in the fourth quarter of $1.2 million and up from $705,000 generated in the first quarter a year ago.”
“King and South Snohomish counties continue to lead the recovery in Northwest Washington,” said Bryan McDonald, Whidbey Island Bank’s President and CEO. ”With the addition of our new branch in Woodinville, we have three commercial lending teams operating in this region who are consistently bringing in a higher share of new customers to the bank and the loan pipeline is stronger in this market than elsewhere in our footprint.”
