WASHINGTON MUTUAL ANNOUNCES RECORD FIRST-QUARTER EARNINGS, INCREASED CASH DIVIDEND AND NEW SHARE REPURCHASE INITIATIVE

SEATTLE -- Washington Mutual, Inc. (NYSE: WM) today announced record first-quarter earnings of $458.5 million or 83 cents per diluted share, up from first-quarter 1999 earnings of $444.1 million or 76 cents per share.
Highlights of the recent quarter included:
a return on average common equity of 20.64 percent; an efficiency ratio of 47.61 percent; double-digit, year-over-year increases in depositor and other retail banking fees and securities fees and commissions; record net growth of more than 133,000 retail checking accounts; and continued strength in overall loan originations despite the more challenging interest rate environment in 2000.
Based on the company's first-quarter performance, the board of directors declared a cash dividend on the common stock of 28 cents per share, an increase from the previous quarter's cash dividend of 27 cents per share. Dividends on the common stock are payable May 15, 2000 to shareholders of record as of April 28, 2000.
"Washington Mutual's first-quarter results reflect the continued strength of our underlying operating fundamentals and core business," said Kerry Killinger, the company's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Our employees continue to deliver outstanding results, despite a challenging interest rate environment, by focusing on the elements of our business plan that are within our control and finding new and innovative ways to serve our fast-growing customer base." -more- WM - 2
In other news, the board of directors today authorized an expanded share repurchase program under which Washington Mutual will acquire, from time to time, up to 55 million additional shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2000, the company had repurchased approximately 51.3 million shares of stock since April 20, 1999, as part of the previously announced purchase programs totaling 56.3 million shares. Washington Mutual had approximately 553 million shares outstanding at March 31, 2000.

FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS
First-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
Strong growth in noninterest income more than offset the effect of compression in the net interest margin that occurred over the past year as short-term interest rates on deposits and borrowings repriced upward faster than Washington Mutual's assets. In the first quarter of 2000, net interest income was $1.08 billion versus $1.13 billion a year earlier. The spread during the quarter was 2.25 percent, compared with 2.60 percent for the same period last year. The margin was 2.38 percent in the most recent quarter versus 2.79 percent for first quarter 1999.
Depositor and other retail banking fees were a record $211.0 million, up 29 percent from $163.4 million a year earlier. Helping drive this increase in fee income was the addition of 133,292 net new retail checking accounts during the first quarter of 2000. The company added over 427,000 net new retail checking accounts, year over year.
The strong growth in noninterest income was also fueled by a significant increase in securities fees and commissions, which were $82.6 million for the first quarter of 2000, up 39 percent from $59.5 million for the same period one year ago.
As part of its initiative to remix its balance sheet, Washington Mutual securitized $6.70 billion of seasoned residential mortgage loans and sold $5.08 billion of the resulting senior and subordinated certificates while retaining the remainder. During the quarter, the company also sold $1.76 billion of seasoned residential loans, $736.3 million of current production residential loans and the majority of loans originated by Long Beach Mortgage. These activities led to gain on sale of loans of $61.2 million for the most recent quarter, compared with $38.4 million for the first quarter of 1999, when Long Beach Mortgage was not part of the company. The gains that resulted from these sales were partially offset by losses incurred on the sale of certain mortgage-backed securities.

LENDING
Total loan originations increased to $12.16 billion for the quarter, up from $11.88 billion one year ago.
Single-family residential (SFR) loan originations (excluding residential construction) were $8.50 billion, as compared with $9.67 billion one year ago. Of the first-quarter SFR originations, 91 percent were adjustable-rate mortgages, up from 54 percent for the same period in 1999.
Originations of second mortgage and other consumer, specialty mortgage finance, commercial business, commercial real estate and residential construction loans totaled $3.67 billion for the most recent quarter, up 66 percent over $2.21 billion in the first quarter of 1999.
EFFICIENCY RATIO
The strong growth in noninterest income, combined with effective expense management, led to an efficiency ratio (defined as other expenses, excluding amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of net interest income and other income) of 47.61 percent for the most recent quarter, comparable with 47.62 percent in last year's first quarter.
Noninterest expense, excluding expenses associated with Long Beach Mortgage, totaled $720.8 million in the first quarter of 2000, compared with first-quarter 1999's figure of $706.1 million, after excluding the $23.8 million of transaction-related expenses.
CREDIT QUALITY
Total nonperforming assets were a low $979.3 million at March 31, 2000, versus $1.03 billion at Dec. 31, 1999 and represented just 0.52 percent of total assets at the end of the first quarter of 2000.
The company's provision for loan losses was $41.2 million, versus $41.7 million for the same period in the previous year. Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter were $41.0 million, compared with $45.0 million a year earlier. At March 31, 2000, loan loss reserves totaled $1.03 billion, and represented 130 percent of nonaccrual loans.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Consolidated assets at March 31, 2000, were $188.61 billion, up from $186.51 billion at Dec. 31, 1999. (Approximately $5.47 billion of the asset sales previously discussed settled after the quarter end and therefore were still included in the company's total assets at March 31, 2000.) Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2000 was $8.71 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 March 31, 2000, transaction account balances, including checking, savings and money market deposits, represented 55 percent of total deposits, up from 50 percent at the end of the first quarter of 1999 and 54 percent at the end of 1999. Total deposits were $82.51 billion at the end of the current quarter, up from $81.13 billion at the end of 1999.
Killinger noted that the company continued to actively deploy its capital during the first quarter by purchasing 19.8 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $23.42.
COMPANY UPDATES
On April 5, the company opened the first five of 21 new retail concept financial stores in Southern Nevada. The remaining 16 stores will open by the end of the summer. The company projects that the stores will break even shortly after one year of operation and will reach a return on common equity of 20 percent by the end of year two.
On Feb. 9, Washington Mutual announced a collaborative initiative with iPlanet E-Commerce Solutions, a Sun-Netscape Alliance. The collaboration will extend Washington Mutual's e-commerce initiatives, including the development of a platform that will support the company's net-based messaging applications, gaining additional internal efficiencies and forging stronger relationships with both its consumer and corporate customers.
On March 30, the company offered and sold $500 million in non-callable 8.25 percent subordinated notes due April 1, 2010. The net proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes.

OUTLOOK
"Although the current interest rate environment provides an immediate challenge for our company, we are focused on the successful execution of our business plan," Killinger said. "Key components of that plan are to remix our balance sheet by increasing the proportion of higher-margin loans, diversify revenues, launch new and innovative ways of serving our customers, operate even more efficiently and maintain credit quality. We're in an excellent position to successfully implement all of financial targets and continue to be one of the nation's top financial services companies." With a history dating back to 1889, Washington Mutual is a financial services company that provides a diversified line of products and services to consumers and small- to mid-sized businesses. At March 31, 2000, Washington Mutual and its subsidiaries had consolidated assets of $188.61 billion. The company operates more than 2,000 offices throughout the nation.

(1) During the first quarter of 2000, $8.75 billion of loans were securitized into MBS.  Of that amount,
    $5.08 billion was sold on March 31, 2000 with a settlement date of April 12, 2000.  The receivable of
    $5.08 billion is a component of "Other assets."  The remaining $1.62 billion was retained and held in
    the AFS MBS portfolio.  This increase in the MBS portfolio was partially offset by paydowns and
    additional unrealized net losses on available-for-sale securities.

(2) $12.43 billion of loans were securitized during the fourth quarter of 1999.  Approximately $10 billion
    were attributed to REMICs, which are classified as AFS and HTM securities in the MBS portfolio.
