FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 25, 2013
WashingtonFirst Bankshares Inc. Announces Earning for the Second Quarter 2013
RESTON, VA - WashingtonFirst Bankshares Inc. (NASDAQ: WFBI) (the “Company”), the holding company for WashingtonFirst Bank (the “Bank”), today reports unaudited consolidated net income to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $1.5 million ($0.20 per diluted common share) compared to $0.3 million ($0.10 per diluted common share) for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company's net income to common shareholders was $2.9 million ($0.38 per diluted common share), compared to $1.0 million ($0.33 per diluted common share) for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company's increase in net income in 2013 is primarily the result of the acquisition of Alliance Bankshares Corporation ("Alliance") in December 2012.
Shaza Andersen, President and CEO of the Company, said, “I am pleased to announce a strong second quarter for the Bank in earnings and performance ratios. As we have started to realize the benefits we anticipated from the 2012 acquisition of Alliance Bank, we have seen improvements in our performance ratios and in our earnings per share."

Return on average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by 16 basis points to 0.57 percent, compared to 0.41 percent for the same period in 2012. Additionally, the company has realized improved returns on both average shareholders' equity and average common equity. The decrease in net interest spread and margin in 2013 compared to 2012 is primarily attributable to greater liquidity and accelerated amortization of purchase accounting marks related to certain loans that prepaid in the second quarter of 2013. These loans were acquired in December 2012 and had pricing marks associated with them under purchase accounting guidance. Purchase accounting marks are recognized into income over the life of the loan. Early payoffs create more volatility and can distort the net interest margin, as any unamortized mark is fully amortized upon loan payoff.

Balance Sheet and Capital
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total assets were $1.1 billion. Total loans increased $33.4 million (4.5%) from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013. Total deposits decreased $15.1 million (1.6%) from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013. This decrease is primarily attributable to management's intention to reduce non-core deposits, including brokered deposits acquired in the acquisition of Alliance in December 2012. Tier 1 capital increased $4.6 million to $109.6 million as of June 30, 2013, compared to $105.0 million as of December 31, 2012.
