Washington Trust Q3 2025 Earnings Report
Washington Trust reported its third quarter 2025 results, showing a decrease in net income and diluted EPS compared to the previous quarter, despite growth in net interest income, wealth management, and mortgage banking revenues.
Key Takeaways
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. reported third quarter 2025 net income of $10.8 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, a decrease from $13.2 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. The company expanded its net interest income and margin, grew wealth management and mortgage banking revenues, and achieved strong in-market deposit growth. However, a significant increase in the provision for credit losses, primarily due to charge-offs on two commercial loan relationships totaling $11.3 million, impacted profitability.
Net income for Q3 2025 was $10.8 million, down from $13.2 million in Q2 2025.
Diluted EPS was $0.56, a decrease from $0.68 in the prior quarter.

A provision for credit losses on loans of $7.0 million was recognized, significantly higher than $650 thousand in Q2 2025, mainly due to charge-offs on two commercial loan relationships.
