WASHINGTON MUTUAL ANNOUNCES RECORD SECOND-QUARTER EARNINGS;
BOARD OF DIRECTORS INCREASES CASH DIVIDEND

SEATTLE -- Washington Mutual, Inc. (NYSE: WM) today announced record second-quarter earnings of $490.8 million or 92 cents per diluted share, up from second-quarter 1999 earnings of $452.7 million or 78 cents per share. Earnings per share on a year-to-date basis were $1.75 for the first six months of 2000 versus $1.54 for the same period in 1999.

Highlights of the recent quarter included:
o a return on average common equity of 22.97 percent;
o $80.7 million gain resulting from the sale of $8.45 billion of loans, which included $7.27 billion of seasoned residential loans;
o an efficiency ratio, excluding amortization of intangible assets, of 46.99 percent;
o record total loan volume of $17.95 billion, which included on a year-over-year-basis, a 38 percent increase in residential adjustable-rate mortgage loan originations and an 82 percent increase in second mortgage and other consumer loans generated by the company's banking subsidiaries;
o a 32 percent increase in depositor and other retail banking fees, year over year; and
o net growth of more than 133,000 retail checking accounts.

Based on the company's second-quarter performance, the board of directors declared a cash dividend on the common stock of 29 cents per share, an increase from the previous quarter's cash dividend of 28 cents per share. Dividends on the common stock are payable August 15, 2000 to shareholders of record as of July 31, 2000.

"The strength of Washington Mutual's core operations was evident in our second-quarter performance," said Kerry Killinger, the company's chairman, president and CEO. "Loan volume was even stronger than in last year's second quarter despite a much more challenging interest rate environment. Our efforts to significantly increase noninterest income continued to produce excellent results and we continued to effectively manage expenses. All in all, it was a very good quarter in a tough operating environment."

SECOND-QUARTER RESULTS

Second-quarter 1999 results do not reflect the operations of Long Beach Mortgage, which was acquired in a purchase transaction on Oct. 1 of last year.

NET INTEREST AND NONINTEREST INCOME

Higher short-term interest rates and controlled growth of the balance sheet produced net interest income of $1.09 billion versus $1.15 billion a year earlier. Killinger noted that rising rates continued to place pressure on the margin during the second quarter and will continue to do so in the third quarter. The spread during the quarter was 2.30 percent, compared with 2.58 percent for the same period last year. The margin was 2.43 percent in the most recent quarter versus 2.74 percent for second quarter 1999. The spread benefited during the quarter from a special dividend of $28.2 million paid by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.

Depositor and other retail banking fees were a record $239.8 million, up 32 percent from $182.1 million a year earlier. Helping drive this increase in fee income was the addition of 482,064 net new retail checking accounts over the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2000. During the second quarter, the company added over 133,000 net new retail checking accounts.

The strong growth in noninterest income was also fueled by a significant increase in securities fees and commissions, which were $83.5 million for the second quarter of 2000, up 20 percent from $69.4 million for the same period one year ago.

It is the company's strategy to sell the majority of its conforming fixed-rate loan production as it is originated as well as to sell the loans originated through Long Beach Mortgage. Sales of fixed-rate loans and those loans originated through Long Beach were low during the quarter, however. In order to take advantage of the favorable pricing of its stock, the company sold seasoned adjustable-rate mortgage loans. During the quarter, the sale of current and seasoned production totaling $8.45 billion resulted in a gain of $80.7 million, compared with $28.0 million for the second quarter of 1999. The company retained $1.06 billion of securities from these transactions.

LENDING

Total loan volume, which includes loans originated by the company, purchased loans and loans originated by correspondents, increased to a record $17.95 billion for the quarter, up 16 percent from $15.47 billion one year ago.

Single-family residential (SFR) loan volume (excluding residential construction) was $11.61 billion, as compared with $12.15 billion one year ago. Of the second-quarter SFR volume, 88 percent were adjustable-rate mortgages, up from 69 percent for the same period in 1999.

Killinger noted that the company continues to make good progress toward its five-year plan to remix the balance sheet. Originations and purchases of second mortgage and other consumer, specialty mortgage finance, commercial business, commercial real estate and residential construction loans totaled $6.34 billion for the most recent quarter, up 91 percent over $3.31 billion in the second quarter of 1999.

EFFICIENCY RATIO

The efficiency ratio (defined as noninterest expense, excluding amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of net interest income and other income) was 46.99 percent for the most recent quarter compared with 47.95 percent in last year's second quarter.

Noninterest expense, including expenses associated with Long Beach Mortgage, totaled $775.2 million in the second quarter of 2000, compared with second-quarter 1999's figure of $748.6 million, which included $36.6 million of transaction-related expense but did not include Long Beach expenses.

CREDIT QUALITY

Total nonperforming assets were $973.6 million at June 30, 2000, down from $988.9 million at March 31, 2000 and represented just 0.52 percent of total assets at the end of the second quarter of 2000.

The company's provision for loan losses was $44.1 million, versus $42.9 million for the same period in the previous year. Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter were $42.5 million, compared with $59.0 million a year earlier. At June 30, 2000, loan loss reserves totaled $1.01 billion, and represented 126 percent of nonaccrual loans.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The sale of seasoned loans during the first half of 2000 limited balance sheet growth during the period and enabled the company to deploy excess capital toward the repurchase of its common stock. Consolidated assets at June 30, 2000, were $185.69 billion, compared with $188.61 billion at March 31, 2000 and $186.51 billion at Dec. 31, 1999.

During the second quarter, the company purchased 15 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $26.94. From April 20, 1999 through June 30, 2000, the company repurchased approximately 66 million shares of stock as part of its previously announced purchase programs totaling 111 million shares. Washington Mutual had approximately 539 million shares outstanding at June 30, 2000.

Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2000 was $8.55 billion and the capital ratios of Washington Mutual's banking subsidiaries continued to exceed regulatory requirements for classification as "well-capitalized," the highest regulatory standard.

At June 30, 2000, transaction account balances, including checking, savings and money market deposits, represented 55 percent of total deposits, compared with 54 percent at the end of the second quarter of 1999. The average deposit balance during the second quarter was $80.34 billion, versus $83.92 billion during the second quarter of 1999.

COMPANY UPDATES

oBased on the favorable customer acceptance and strong initial results of its project "Occasio" in Las Vegas, the company recently announced plans to open 40 financial stores (branches) in the greater Phoenix area beginning in the first quarter of 2001. Occasio stores combine banking and customer service with a retail experience and environment more reminiscent of The Gap or Starbucks than a typical bank branch.

Results from the initial five Southern Nevada financial stores have surpassed the company's expectations. In the first few months of operation, the stores have generated twice as many checking account openings and three times the dollar volume of deposits as the average for previous new Washington Mutual branches.

The Occasio concept, which was 18 months in development, was driven by extensive customer research and testing. The end result is an emotionally appealing retail environment that offers broad services to maximize customer choice and streamlined processes that make banking quick and easy.

o On May 8, the company's Mortgage Banking Group announced partnerships with two electronic mortgage origination companies, GHR Systems, Inc., and Framework, Inc., to develop an industry-leading mortgage origination and decisioning platform known as "Optis."

Project Optis, derived from the Latin word optimus, meaning "best," and options, implying the power of freedom of choice, will enable increased originations and operating efficiency for the company, and improved service, flexibility and access for borrowers, brokers, realtors and correspondents.

The end-to-end origination system will service all Washington Mutual distribution channels, including retail, wholesale, and correspondent mortgage lending, and the company's mortgage origination web site, www.wamumortgage.com.

o In June, Washington Mutual's Financial Services Group launched an innovative suite of web sites at its new online destination, www.Invest1to1.com. The sites provide online financial planning, stock trading and research, and investment information for the mutual fund family known as the WM Group of Funds.

Invest1to1.com features personalized and custom content driven by the visitor's demographics and knowledge level. Using the site's online calculators, guests can determine their net worth and establish financial goals. The site also features a financial services "university," offering financial IQ tests, risk questionnaires and a comprehensive investing and financial glossary. Future developments at the site will include proprietary asset allocation and portfolio analysis tools.

OUTLOOK

"Our company will continue to execute the business plan that management believes will place Washington Mutual in the top quartile of industry performers," Killinger said. "Although the current interest rate environment presents a near-term challenge, we're confident we are creating shareholder value over time. Value creation can be achieved by continuing to profitably grow all areas of our business, finding ways to effectively deploy capital, further implementing our eBusiness initiatives, keeping a watchful eye on credit quality and continuing to deliver a superior level of service to our customers. Meanwhile, should interest rates stabilize, we would anticipate an even brighter outlook in the months to come."
