         Washington Mutual Announces Fourth-Quarter; Year-End Earnings,
                     Increases Cash Dividend on Common Stock

SEATTLE -- Washington Mutual, Inc. (Nasdaq:  WAMU) today announced 1996 earnings
of $114.3 million,  or 85 cents per share (fully diluted),  compared with $289.9
million,  or $2.42 per share (fully diluted) in 1995. Earnings for the year were
reduced  $294.6  million by a previously  announced  after-tax  charge of $209.8
million  ($205.8  million of which was taken during the fourth  quarter and $4.0
million during the third  quarter) for  transaction-related  expenses  resulting
from the  company's  merger with  Keystone  Holdings,  Inc. and  acquisition  of
American Savings Bank, and by a third quarter  after-tax charge of $84.8 million
representing  the company's  portion of the one-time  assessment paid by savings
institutions  and banks  nationally  to  re-capitalize  the Savings  Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF).  For the fourth quarter,  earnings were reduced to a loss
of $87.9  million  or 81 cents  per  share by the above  referenced  charge  for
transaction-related  expenses.  (All  financial  results  have been  restated to
reflect the mergers with Keystone  Holdings and Western Bank, both accounted for
as poolings of interests.)

         The company's board of directors declared an increased cash dividend on
common stock of 25 cents per share, up from 24 cents the previous  quarter.  The
board also  declared  dividends  of 57 cents per share on the series C preferred
stock  (Nasdaq:WAMUO)  and 47.5 cents per share on the series E preferred  stock
(Nasdaq:  WAMUM).  Dividends on common and preferred  stock are payable Feb. 14,
1997, to shareholders of record on Jan. 31, 1997.

         "The  results  of the  fourth  quarter  of 1996  topped  off  the  most
successful  12-month period in our history as Washington  Mutual produced strong
operating  results  and record loan  originations;  significantly  expanded  its
commercial  banking business;  and completed the acquisition of American Savings
Bank, our largest such transaction to date," said Kerry Killinger, the company's
chairman, president and chief executive officer.

         "During the year,  we made  excellent  progress in the execution of our
key business  strategies:  to expand our consumer banking operations  throughout
the West; to build our commercial banking business;  to re-mix our balance sheet
by replacing longer-term fixed-rate assets with adjustable-rate loans; to manage
credit quality; and to seek ways to operate more efficiently. These achievements
provide an  excellent  foundation  for  Washington  Mutual  heading  into 1997."

Fourth-Quarter and Year-End Financial Highlights

         Although  net income was down due to  one-time  charges,  net  interest
income for the fourth  quarter was up 13 percent to $307.6  million  from $272.0
million a year earlier.  For the year,  the  company's  larger asset base and an
improved  spread  produced net interest  income of $1.2 billion,  up from $992.7
million for 1995.  The spread in the fourth  quarter was 2.76  percent  compared
with 2.55  percent for the same period a year  earlier.  The spread for the year
was 2.75 percent, up from 2.53 percent for 1995.

         The  stronger  housing  market  throughout  the West helped the company
establish a new record for total loan originations during the fourth quarter and
for the year. Total lending during the most recent quarter was $3.6 billion,  up
from $2.9 billion for fourth  quarter 1995,  and for the year was $13.6 billion,
compared with $9.4 billion in 1995.

         In the fourth quarter,  residential  lending,  the largest component of
loan originations, was $2.6 billion, up from $2.2 billion a year ago. During the
quarter, loans for home purchases increased to $1.6 billion, from $1.1 billion a
year ago. Meanwhile,  refinancing activity decreased to $1.0 billion,  from $1.1
billion in last year's fourth quarter.

         For the year,  residential loan originations  totaled $9.9 billion,  up
from $6.8 billion last year.  Of these annual  totals,  loans to purchase  homes
accounted  for $5.9 billion and  refinancing  activity  produced $4.0 billion in
1996,  compared  with  the  previous  year's  $3.9  billion  and  $2.9  billion,
respectively.  In addition,  of the total  residential loans originated in 1996,
approximately 63 percent were adjustable rate.  Without the addition of American
Savings Bank, adjustable-rate loan originations would have been 35 percent.

         Favorable  interest rates and generally  positive regional economies in
the West also had a positive  effect on  residential  construction  and consumer
lending in this year's fourth  quarter.  Residential  construction  originations
were $312.9  million  during the quarter just ended,  up from $261.6  million in
fourth  quarter 1995;  and were $1.3 billion for the year,  compared with $935.8
million in 1995. Consumer loan originations  increased to $347.2 million for the
quarter versus $250.6 million a year ago; and were $1.3 billion in 1996, up from
$997.0 million last year.

         With the  acquisition  of American  Savings Bank and its  predominantly
adjustable-rate  residential loan portfolio,  the company  significantly reduced
its  sensitivity  to  movements  in interest  rates.  Prior to the  acquisition,
adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans made up only 45 percent of Washington
Mutual's  residential  loan  portfolio,  compared  with  75  percent  after  the
transaction was completed.  Killinger said that the company continues to sell on
the  secondary  market  the  majority  of the  fixed-rate  residential  loans it
originates, while generally retaining the servicing rights.

     Washington  Mutual's  total assets were $44.6  billion at Dec. 31, 1996, up
from $42.0  billion at year-end  1995.  The increase was primarily the result of
growth in the company's  loan  portfolio.  Total  deposits were $24.1 billion at
Dec. 31, 1996,  down slightly  from $24.5 billion at the end of 1995.  Annuities
underwritten   by  WM  Life  Insurance  Co.,   Washington   Mutual's   insurance
underwriting  subsidiary,  increased  $9.6 million  during the quarter to $878.1
million, compared with $855.5 million at year-end 1995. The insurance subsidiary
had pretax  operating  income  (before  amortization  of  intangible  assets and
intercompany  eliminations) of $16.3 million for the year, up from $14.3 million
in 1995.

         Assets of the Composite Group of mutual funds, managed by the company's
investment  management  firm,  increased  slightly  to  $1.4  billion.   Pre-tax
operating  income (before  amortization  of intangible  assets and  intercompany
eliminations) for the securities  subsidiaries  increased to $4.5 million in the
fourth quarter of 1996,  from $4.3 million in the fourth quarter in 1995, and to
$19.1 million for the year just ended versus $15.1 million in 1995.

         Operating   expenses,   which   included   a  $152.8   million   pretax
transaction-related  charge, were $340.8 million.  Without the charge, operating
expenses during the fourth quarter would have been $188.0 million. For the year,
operating  expenses  were  $1.0  billion.  Net of SAIF  and  transaction-related
expenses,  operating expenses were $743.0 million,  compared with $700.5 million
in 1995.

         The company's operating efficiency ratio (other expense as a percentage
of net interest  income and other income) was 89.0 percent during fourth quarter
compared to 53.5 percent for fourth quarter 1995. The operating efficiency ratio
for the year was 70.7 percent versus 58.3 percent for 1995.

         Total  nonperforming  assets  were  $329.4  million at Dec.  31,  1996,
compared with $323.1  million at Sept.  30, 1996, and $338.9 million at year-end
1995.  The  company's   larger  asset  size  helped  keep  the  ratio  of  total
nonperforming  assets to total assets at 0.74 percent at Dec. 31, 1996, the same
level as at the end of the third quarter, and down from 0.81 percent at year-end
1995.

         As was previously announced and as part of transaction-related charges,
the company added $125.0 million (pretax) to American's  reserve for loan losses
to conform  more  closely to  Washington  Mutual's  existing  credit  practices.
Exclusive of this  addition,  the  quarterly  provision for loan losses of $18.4
million was up slightly  from $17.1  million in third  quarter  1996.  Loan loss
reserves  increased to $363.4 million at Dec. 31, 1996, versus $234.3 million at
Sept. 30, 1996, and at year-end 1996, were 110.3 percent of nonperforming assets
and 160.5 percent of nonperforming assets, less real estate owned.

     At Dec.  31, 1996,  stockholders'  equity  stood at $2.4  billion,  or 5.38
percent  of  assets.  In  addition,  capital  ratios  of the  company's  banking
subsidiaries  continued to exceed the FDIC's  requirements for classification as
"well-capitalized"  institutions,  the  highest  regulatory  standard.

American Savings Bank Acquisition Completed

     Washington  Mutual  completed its merger with Keystone  Holdings on Dec. 20
and significantly  expanded the company's West Coast banking franchise.  Through
Keystone's  primary  banking  subsidiary,  American  Savings  Bank,  the company
expanded into the nation's  most populous  state,  California,  and  immediately
assumed  the  No.  2  position  in  the  state's  residential  mortgage  market.
Washington Mutual holds the No. 1 position in both Washington and Oregon.

         With the addition of  American's  operations,  the company now operates
more  than 500  offices  in nine  western  states.  American  is a wholly  owned
subsidiary of Washington  Mutual,  Inc.,  and continues to operate under its own
name in California, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado.

         "We are  ahead of  schedule  on our  original  transition  plan and are
optimistic that we will achieve the four goals for the  acquisition,"  Killinger
said. The goals include having the company's  consumer banking strategy in place
at American by mid-year 1997,  building on American's strong residential lending
operations,  consolidating the  administrative  and operational areas of the two
companies  where  appropriate,  and  positioning  American  for  growth  through
potential future acquisitions in California.

Other Market Expansion

         In late November, the company completed its acquisition of Utah Federal
Savings Bank, of Ogden, Utah,  improving the company's  competitive  position in
the state.  The  transaction  had a total value of $15.1 million and added three
financial centers and three loan offices to the company's Utah presence.

         On January 15, 1997,  Washington  Mutual  completed the  acquisition of
another  Utah-based  institution,  United Western Financial Group, Inc., of Salt
Lake City and its United  Savings Bank and Western  Mortgage Loan  subsidiaries.
United Western  reported  consolidated  assets of $414.9 million and deposits of
$294.4 million at Sept. 30, 1996.

         The purchase of United Western,  for $79.5 million in cash,  added nine
locations  to  Washington  Mutual's  operations.  The  company  now  operates 28
financial  centers  and five loan  centers  and is one of the  leading  mortgage
lenders  in the  state of Utah.  "We  entered  Utah in  February  1995  with the
intention of some day being the state's No. 1  residential  mortgage  lender and
Utahns' top choice for consumer-oriented  financial products and services," said
Killinger.  "These  acquisitions  have placed us in a strong position to achieve
that goal even sooner than we originally expected."

         In addition to growth  through  acquisitions,  the  company's  focus on
internal  growth  continued  in the  fourth  quarter  and  led to an  impressive
increase in its checking  account  base for the year.  Net of  acquisitions  and
exclusive of American Savings Bank, the company's  banking  subsidiaries  during
the fourth  quarter  added 31,520 new  checking  accounts,  considered  the core
account of consumer  banking.  For the year,  they added 116,434 such  accounts.
These new account  openings  produced a net increase of 24.4 percent in checking
account base from Jan. 1, 1996, through the end of the year.

         "Our consumer banks will continue to emphasize checking accounts as the
primary means of attracting new customers in our market area,"  Killinger  said.
"Checking  accounts  provide a source of low-cost  deposits and  additional  fee
income.  And, as we envisioned,  our  noninterest-bearing  checking  account has
generated  demand for our other  products and  services."

Growth In Commercial Banking

         Commercial lending  originations  increased as well with the Enterprise
Bank and Western Bank divisions  posting record volume for loan  originations in
the  fourth  quarter.  For the  period,  the two  commercial  banking  divisions
originated $89.8 million of mostly  adjustable-rate  commercial loans,  compared
with $48.0 million in last year's fourth  quarter.  For the year,  the divisions
originated $348.4 million in 1996, versus $167.8 million in 1995.

     In 1996, the commercial  banking division opened 14 new locations (known as
business banking centers) that focus  exclusively on commercial  banking clients
and two full-service  community banking offices.

New Executives;  Board Members Named

         In light of the company's expanding operations,  Killinger announced on
Jan. 6 that Washington Mutual's five-person  executive committee would expand by
two new members.

         Joining the  committee and reporting to Killinger are new members Craig
S. Davis, formerly executive vice president of American for mortgage origination
and ASB's nonbanking subsidiaries;  and Steven P. Freimuth, formerly senior vice
president  of  lending  operations  for  Washington  Mutual  Bank.  Both are now
executive vice presidents of Washington Mutual, Inc.

         Davis, 45, is based in Seattle and has  responsibility  for residential
mortgages  originated  through  American's 68 loan  offices,  as well as through
independent  mortgage brokers in California,  Arizona,  Nevada and Colorado.  In
addition, he will oversee all of the company's securities brokerage, mutual fund
management and insurance agency operations.

         Freimuth, 40, will be responsible for lending administration for all of
Washington  Mutual's banking  subsidiaries and will oversee several major areas,
including loan servicing, appraisal, loan underwriting and closing.

         In  addition,  the board of directors  elected two new  members,  David
Bonderman  and J. Taylor  Crandall,  following  the  completion of the company's
merger with Keystone  Holdings,  Inc., and  acquisition of its American  Savings
Bank  subsidiary.  The  addition of  Bonderman,  54, and  Crandall,  42,  brings
Washington Mutual's total board membership to 15.

         Bonderman,  a principal and general  partner of TPG Partners,  L.P., of
Fort Worth, was previously chief operating  officer of the Robert M. Bass Group,
Inc.  (RMBG),  which now does  business  as  Keystone,  Inc.  Crandall  is chief
financial  officer and vice  president  of Keystone,  Inc.,  and  president  and
director of Acadia MGP, Inc.

         In other  news of the  fourth  quarter,  Washington  Mutual  called for
redemption,  the company's noncumulative  convertible perpetual perferred stock,
Series D. Based on the conversion  price, each share of Series D was convertible
into approximately 3.8709 shares of common stock. The 1,398,904 shares of Series
D were converted into approximately 5.4 million shares of common stock and 1,096
shares were redeemed.

Outlook

         "As we enter 1997, we bring  excellent  momentum  from our  performance
last year,  as well as  continued  commitment  to the  execution of our business
plan.  We will  continue to look in all markets of the West -- both existing and
new -- for expansion  opportunities  that meet our criteria and create long-term
value for our shareholders," Killinger said.

         With a history  dating  back to 1889,  Washington  Mutual is a regional
financial  services  company that  provides a  diversified  line of products and
services to  consumers  and small- to  mid-sized  businesses.  Its  subsidiaries
provide consumer and commercial banking services,  securities brokerage,  mutual
fund  management,  property/casualty  and life insurance sales, and underwriting
for  insurance  annuities.   At  Dec.  31,  1996,   Washington  Mutual  and  its
subsidiaries had consolidated assets of $44.6 billion. The company operates more
than 500 offices in nine western states.

     (1) Income taxes for American  Savings Bank and Keystone  Holdings Inc. for
1996 were  reflective  of tax  benefit  sharing  agreements  with the FDIC which
lowered the company's  effective tax rate. After the  acquisition,  the tax rate
for  American  Savings  Bank will be  adjusted  to a normal tax rate  because of
limitations on net operating loss carryforwards.  The effective tax rate for the
combined companies is expected to be approximately 39%. Had this higher tax rate
been in effect for 1996 the fully diluted earnings per share,  prior to SAIF and
transaction-related expenses, would have been reduced to $3.05.

     (1) Income taxes for American  Savings Bank and Keystone  Holdings Inc. for
1996 were  reflective  of tax  benefit  sharing  agreements  with the FDIC which
lowered the company's  effective tax rate. After the  acquisition,  the tax rate
for  American  Savings  Bank will be  adjusted  to a normal tax rate  because of
limitations on net operating loss carryforwards.  The effective tax rate for the
combined companies is expected to be approximately 39%. Had this higher tax rate
been in effect for 1996 the fully diluted earnings per share,  prior to SAIF and
transaction-related expenses, would have been reduced to $0.86.
