WASHINGTON FEDERAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - Basis of Presentation
The consolidated interim financial statements included in this report have
been prepared by Washington Federal, Inc. ("Company") without audit. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial
statements. The September 30, 2002 Consolidated Statement of Financial
Condition was derived from audited financial statements.
The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with Washington Federal, Inc.'s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K to the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year.
NOTE B - Dividends
Dividends per share increased to 21 cents for the quarter ended March 31, 2003
compared with 20 cents for the same period one year ago. On April 18, 2003
the Company paid its 81st consecutive quarterly cash dividend.
On January 21, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company declared an
eleven-for-ten stock split in the form of a 10% stock dividend to stockholders
of record on February 7, 2003, which was distributed on February 21, 2003.
All previously reported per share amounts have been adjusted accordingly.
NOTE C - Comprehensive Income
The Company's comprehensive income includes all items which comprise net
income plus the unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale
securities and forward commitments to purchase or sell mortgage-backed
securities. Total comprehensive income for the quarters ended March 31,
2003 and March 31, 2002 totaled $30,704,000 and $31,759,000, respectively.
Total comprehensive income for the six months ended March 31, 2003 and March
31, 2002 totaled $63,822,000 and $57,565,000, respectively. The difference
between the Company's net income and total comprehensive income equals the
change in the net unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, on securities
available-for-sale and forward commitments to purchase or sell mortgage-backed
securities during the applicable periods.

Note E - New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS No. 148 amends
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to provide alternative
methods of transistion for a voluntary change to the fair value based method
of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148
requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reported results. The Company accounts for stock
options using the intrinsic value method as prescribed in Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". The
following table summarizes the pro forma amounts of net income and earnings per
share that would have been reported had the Company elected to follow the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123:

WASHINGTON FEDERAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Washington Federal, Inc. ("Company") is a savings and loan holding company.
The Company's primary operating subsidiary is Washington Federal Savings.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Company assumes a high level of interest rate risk as a result of
its policy to originate fixed-rate single family home loans, which are
longer-term in nature than the short-term characteristics of its
liabilities of customer accounts and borrowed money. At March 31, 2003,
the Company had a negative one-year maturity gap of approximately 16%
of total assets, compared to a 26% negative one-year maturity gap as of
March 31, 2002. The decrease in interest rate risk is the result of the
Company building its short-term assets.
The interest rate spread decreased to 2.68% at March 31, 2003 from
3.01% at September 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to the continued
build up of cash and cash equivalents (totaling $1.3 billion) invested at
overnight rates (1.25%). During this phase of the interest rate cycle
(historically low rates for 30 year fixed-rate loans) the Company chose to
position its balance sheet for increasing rates in the future by building cash
and reducing the amount of loans and mortgage-backed investments. As of
March 31, 2003, the Company had accumulated $1,315,305,000 in cash and cash
equivalents, an increase of $340,152,000 from September 30,2002. This
liquidity, which represents 18% of total assets, provides management with
flexibility in managing interest rate risk going forward.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's net worth at March 31, 2003 was $987,969,000, or 13.51% of
total assets. This was an increase of $27,251,000 from September 30, 2002
when net worth was $960,718,000, or 13.00% of total assets. The
increase in the Company's net worth included $74,822,000 from net
income. Net worth was reduced by $29,076,000 of cash dividends paid and
an $11,000,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. During
the six months ended March 31, 2003, 510,070 shares were repurchased under
the Company's ongoing common stock repurchase program at an average
price of $19.67, which left a total of 2.81 million shares currently
authorized by the Board of Directors as available for repurchase.
The Company's percentage of net worth to total assets is among the
highest in the nation and is over three times the minimum required under
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations. Management believes this strong
net worth position will help protect earnings against interest rate risk
and enable it to compete more effectively for controlled growth through
acquisitions, de novo expansion and increased customer deposits.
The Company's cash and investment securities amounted to $1,578,822,000,
a $486,252,000 increase from September 30, 2002. This increase is the
result of higher than normal repayment levels on loans and mortgage-
backed securities during the first six months of fiscal 2003, stemming
from record low mortgage rates.

WASHINGTON FEDERAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management has elected to keep these funds invested short term to take
advantage of expected rising interest rates in the future (see Interest
Rate Risk above).
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities: Available-for-sale
securities decreased $64,013,000 or 7.0% during the six months ended
March 31, 2003, due to unusually high prepayments, resulting from
reduced interest rates on mortgage loans and the underlying collateral
for mortgage-backed securities. The Company purchased $229,995,000 and
$50,000,000 of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment
securities, respectively, during the six months ended March 31, 2003.
As of March 31, 2003, the Company had unrealized gains on available-for-sale
securities of $45,000,000, net of tax, which were recorded as part of
stockholders' equity.
Loans receivable and securitized assets subject to repurchase: During the
six months ended March 31, 2003, the combined total of loans receivable and
securitized assets subject to repurchase decreased 7.0% to $4,694,033,000
compared to $5,047,964,000 at September 30,2002. The decrease resulted from
Management's unwillingness to aggressively compete during this period of
increased refinancing activity caused by historically low home mortgage rates.
Non-performing assets: Non-performing assets decreased 17.1% during the six
months ended March 31, 2003 to $28,080,000 from $33,876,000 at September 30,
2002.
Costs in excess of net assets acquired: Costs in excess of fair value of net
assets acquired in business combinations are reviewed at least annually to
determine that no impairment of the assets has occured; there was no
impairment at March 31, 2003. The Company will continue to evaluate these
assets and, if appropriate, provide for any diminution in value.
Customer accounts: Customer accounts decreased $89,574,000, or 2.0%, to
$4,432,348,000 at March 31, 2003 compared with $4,521,922,000 at September
30, 2002, as a result of the low interest rate environment for deposits.
FHLB advances and other borrowings: Total borrowings remained unchanged at
$1,750,000,000 during the six months ending March 31, 2003.

WASHINGTON FEDERAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Income: The quarter ended March 31, 2003 produced net income of
$37,704,000 compared $35,759,000 for the same quarter one year ago,
a 5.4% increase. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2003
was $74,822,000 compared to $71,144,000 for the six months ended
March 31, 2002, a 5.2% increase. Net income for the three and
six months ended March 31, 2003 increased primarily as a result of
reduced operating expenses and increased other income.
Net Interest Income: The largest component of the Company's
earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between
the interest and dividends earned on loans and other investments
and the interest paid on customer deposits and borrowings. Net
interest income is impacted primarily by two factors; first, the
volume of earning assets and liabilities and second, the rate
earned on those assets or the rate paid on those liabilities.
The following table sets forth certain information explaining
changes in interest income and interest expense for the periods
indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and
interest-bearing liability, information is provided on
changes attributable to (1) changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by old rate) and (2) changes in rate (changes in rate
multiplied by old volume). The change in interest income and
interest expense attributable to change in both volume and rate
has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume
and the change due to rate.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest income for the six month period and quarter ended March 31, 2003
benefited from additional accretion of discounts on mortgage-back securities
and deferred loan fees of approximately $11,000,000 and $5,000,000,
respectively, caused from the record prepayment activity experienced during
the periods. If prepayments return to historic levels, this additional
accretion will subside.
The Company provided $150,000 for loan losses during the quarter,
compared to $2,000,000 for the same quarter last year. For the six
months ended March 31, 2003, the total provision was $1,400,000,
compared to $4,000,000 for the same period one year ago. This decrease
was due to the continued decline in the amount of the loan portfolio,
combined with strong asset quality indicators. Non-performing assets
amounted to $28,080,000 or .38% of total assets at March 31, 2003 compared
to $36,974,000 or .53% of total assets one year ago. Delinquencies on
permanent loans have decreased from $28,600,000 at March 31, 2002 to
$24,400,000 at March 31, 2003. These factors, with others, resulted
in a decrease in net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2003
by $193,000 over the comparable period in fiscal 2002. Weak economic
conditions, including high unemployment, continue in the Company's primary
markets.
Other Income: The quarter ended March 31, 2003 produced total other income
of $5,604,000 compared to $1,549,000 for the same quarter one year ago, a
261.8% increase. Total other income for the six months ended March 31, 2003
was $7,797,000 compared to $4,530,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2002,
a 72.1% increase. Total other income for the quarter and six months ended
March 31, 2003 increased primarily as a result of the $3,382,000 gain on sale
of real estate. There were no sales of securities during the first six months
of the current fiscal year.
Other Expenses: The quarter ended March 31, 2003 produced total other expenses
of $12,426,000 compared to $13,124,000 for the same quarter one year ago, a
5.3% decrease. Total other expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2003
was $24,636,000 compared to $26,028,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2002,
a 5.3% decrease. Total other expenses for the quarter and six months ended
March 31, 2003 equaled .68% of average assets, compared to .75% for the same
periods one year ago. The number of staff, including part-time employees on
a full-time equivalent basis, was 724 at both March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002,
however, compensation expense decreased $1,281,000 primarily due to the decline
in bonus compensation.
Taxes: Income taxes increased $1,061,000 or 5.5% and $2,004,000 or 5.2% for the
quarter and six month periods ended March 31, 2003, respectively, when compared
to the same periods one year ago, due to a higher taxable income base. The
effective tax rate was 35.25% for the six month period ended March 31, 2003
and the same period one year ago.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

quantitative and qualitative information about market risk since September 30,
2002. For a complete discussion of the Company's quantitative and qualitative
