CEO Commentary
Rodger Levenson, Chairman, CEO and President, said, "WSFS performed very well in the third quarter as reflected in our operating results of a core ROA(2) of 1.22% and accompanying core EPS(2) of $1.08.
“Despite muted demand, our results were highlighted by annualized loan growth of 5% driven by our commercial, consumer, and residential mortgage portfolios. In addition, deposits grew 3% on an annualized basis primarily due to seasonal municipal deposit inflows.
“Our diverse fee businesses also continued to perform solidly. During the quarter, we completed the conversions of our trust accounting system and client portal in our Wealth Management business. These conversions were executed as part of our Bryn Mawr Trust integration plan and position us for significant future growth.
“Total net credit costs increased modestly compared to the prior quarter with a decrease in the provision for credit losses offset by an increase in reserves for unfunded loan commitments. The negative migration in credit metrics includes two existing problem commercial loans (office-related and hotel) which moved to nonperforming assets in the quarter.
"While the 50 basis point decrease in the Fed Funds Rate in mid-September had a minimal impact on 3Q results, we have updated our full-year 2024 Outlook in our Earnings Release Supplement to reflect this change.
“We look forward to finishing 2024 strong and as always I want to extend my sincere thanks to our 2,300 Associates who work tirelessly to serve our Customers, Communities and each other every day.”




(2) As used in this press release, core ROA and core EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of the press release.

Highlights for 3Q 2024: 
Core ROA was 1.22%, compared to 1.25% for 2Q 2024.
Core EPS was $1.08, flat from 2Q 2024.
Gross loan growth of 1% (5% annualized) from 2Q 2024 driven by growth in commercial, consumer, and residential mortgage.
Customer deposits increased 1% (3% annualized) compared to 2Q 2024, driven by seasonal increases in municipal deposits and continued increases in customer time deposits, partially offset by expected outflows in Wealth and Trust deposits.
Net interest margin of 3.78%, compared to 3.85% for 2Q 2024, reflects higher deposit costs and slightly lower asset yields.
Core fee revenue (noninterest income)(3) of $90.1 million, increased $4.1 million, or 5% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2024, driven by revenue from our partnership with Spring EQ and growth in Cash Connect®.
Total net credit costs were $20.1 million, compared to $18.5 million for 2Q 2024. Provision for credit losses was $18.4 million, a decline of $1.4 million from the prior quarter, which was offset by increases in loan workout costs and reserves for unfunded commitments.
WSFS repurchased 266,672 shares of common stock at an average price of $51.82 per share, totaling an aggregate of $13.8 million. Tangible common book value (TBV) per share(3) increased by $3.36 to $28.56. The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share.





(3) As used in this press release, core fee revenue (noninterest income) and TBV per share are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments.

Net loans and leases$13,167 100 %$13,001 100 %$12,539 100 %
At September 30, 2024, WSFS’ gross loan and lease portfolio increased $165.5 million, or 1% (5% annualized), when compared with June 30, 2024, driven by growth in commercial, consumer, and residential mortgages. Total commercial loans and leases increased $104.6 million, with growth from new originations and the conversion of construction loans, which drove increases in the C&I and commercial mortgage portfolios.
Consumer loans increased $31.6 million, primarily from Spring EQ home equity loans, partially offset by a decrease in Upstart loans. We met the 2024 origination target with Spring EQ and do not expect additional originations in the fourth quarter. As a result of the previously announced sale of Spring EQ, we are evaluating volumes for 2025. Residential mortgages increased $29.2 million due to the retention of certain loans based on favorable yields and relationship opportunities.
Gross loans and leases at September 30, 2024 increased $649.2 million, or 5%, when compared with September 30, 2023. The growth was driven by increases of $503.3 million in commercial mortgage, $181.0 million in consumer loans (primarily from Spring EQ), $91.9 million in residential mortgage due to the reasons noted above, and $71.0 million in C&I. These increases were partially offset by a $237.7 million decrease in construction loans, as they migrated into commercial mortgages and C&I loans, including owner-occupied real estate.

Total customer deposits increased by $136.0 million, 1% (3% annualized), when compared with June 30, 2024, primarily driven by seasonal increases in municipal deposits of $227.7 million and continued increases in customer time deposits, partially offset by expected outflows in Wealth and Trust deposits. Average customer deposits increased 1% (5% annualized), including 12% (annualized) in noninterest demand, compared to June 30, 2024, primarily from Wealth and Trust flows.
Total customer deposits increased by $529.8 million, or 3%, from September 30, 2023, primarily due to increases in money market and time deposits. The growth was concentrated in the Commercial and Consumer businesses.
The deposit base remains well-diversified, with 51% of customer deposits coming from the Commercial, Small Business, and Wealth and Trust business lines. The loan-to-deposit ratio(4) was 80% at September 30, 2024, providing continued capacity to fund future loan growth.
Core deposits were 87% of total customer deposits, with a weighted average cost of 159bps for the quarter. Small mix changes continued this quarter with no- and low-cost checking accounts representing 47% of total customer deposits with a weighted average cost of 46bps for the quarter.

Net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 2% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2024, primarily due to loan growth. Net interest income decreased $5.1 million, or 3%, compared to 3Q 2023, primarily driven by continued deposit mix shift and growth in higher yielding deposit products.
Total loan yields were 7.07%, a decrease of 2bps when compared to 2Q 2024. Total customer deposit costs were 1.95%, an increase of 6bps, while interest-bearing customer deposit costs were 2.79%, an increase of 10bps compared to the prior quarter. The deposit cost increase was driven by growth in higher-priced deposits as we saw opportunities to deepen existing relationships and attract new business.
Net interest margin decreased 7bps from 2Q 2024, mainly due to growth in municipal and higher priced deposits as described above (3bps), as well as slightly lower asset yields, which were partially driven by market-value increases on available-for-sale investment securities (2bps). Net interest margin decreased 30bps from 3Q 2023, primarily driven by continued deposit mix shift and growth in higher priced deposit products over the past year.
To mitigate asset sensitivity, WSFS completed a previously announced $1.5 billion hedging program utilizing floor options.

See “Notes”
Total net credit costs were $20.1 million in the quarter, an increase of $1.6 million, compared to $18.5 million in 2Q 2024. Total net credit costs include a provision for credit losses of $18.4 million, which declined slightly from 2Q 2024. The increase in total net credit costs was due to higher reserves for unfunded commitments related to new loan commitments and the continued evaluation of the portfolio, as well as higher loan workout costs.
Nonperforming assets increased $25.9 million, or 12bps of total assets, compared to June 30, 2024, primarily driven by the migration of two loans - a $19.2 million C&I loan, in participation with another bank, to a fund that is invested in office properties predominantly in east coast suburban markets and a $14.7 million hotel loan in suburban Philadelphia, partially offset by the resolution of previously identified nonperforming assets.
Net charge-offs increased $5.0 million to $19.2 million, or 0.58% (annualized) of average gross loans during the quarter, mainly due to the previously identified hotel loan. Excluding Upstart and NewLane, which experienced losses consistent with the prior quarter, net charge-offs were 31bps of average gross loans.
Problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ACL ratio was 30.11%, an increase of 311bps compared to June 30, 2024, based on the continued evaluation of the portfolio.


(5) Problem assets includes all criticized, classified, and nonperforming loans as well as other real estate owned (OREO).

500 Delaware Avenue1818 Market Street

Delinquencies of $147.6 million, or 111bps of gross loans, increased $58.6 million, or 43bps, compared to June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by the previously mentioned hotel loan and one additional $42.1 million commercial real estate relationship in which we are working with the sponsor on a path toward resolution.

The ACL was $197.5 million as of September 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.8 million from June 30, 2024. The ACL coverage ratio was 1.48%, a decrease of 3bps from June 30, 2024. The decreases in the ACL and coverage ratio were due to continued runoff on the Upstart portfolio.
Core Fee Revenue
Fee businesses, including Wealth and Trust, Cash Connect®, Capital Markets, and Mortgage Banking reflect the investments we have made to diversify our revenue. Core fee revenue (noninterest income) of $90.1 million increased $4.1 million, or 5% (not annualized), compared to $86.0 million from 2Q 2024, primarily driven by $2.3 million of revenue from our partnership with Spring EQ (related to the annual earnout from the previously announced sale), $0.8 million from Cash Connect® due to increases in bailment and smart safe revenue, and $0.7 million from Bank Owned Life Insurance.
Core fee revenue increased $16.7 million, or 23%, compared to 3Q 2023. The growth was driven by the Cash Connect®, Wealth Management, Core Banking, and Mortgage business lines. Growth in Cash Connect® was driven by bailment Customers added in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2024. Growth in Wealth Management was driven by growth across all key product lines, with double digit growth in Institutional Services and The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware (BMT of DE).
For 3Q 2024, our core fee revenue ratio(6) was 33.6% compared to 33.0% in 2Q 2024 and 28.6% in 3Q 2023. Fee revenue is a competitive differentiator providing a well-diversified source of revenue with further growth opportunities expected.


(6) As used in this press release, core fee revenue ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments. For a reconciliation of this and other non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of the press release.

Core Noninterest Expense(7)
Core noninterest expense of $163.7 million increased $7.7 million, or 5% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2024. The increase included $3.0 million related to changes in unfunded loan commitment reserves due to new loan commitments and the continued evaluation of the portfolio, as well as higher loan workout costs. In addition, salaries and benefits increased by $2.9 million due to increased performance-based incentive accruals and talent additions as we continue to invest in the franchise, as well as a $1.4 million increase in external fraud losses.
Core noninterest expense increased $24.1 million, or 17%, compared to 3Q 2023. The increase was primarily due to $11.7 million in higher salaries and benefits from annual and performance-based increases and talent additions in key business lines, as well as $8.5 million from Cash Connect® external funding costs. Excluding the Cash Connect® external funding costs (which were offset in revenue), expenses increased by 12% compared to 3Q 2023.
Our core efficiency ratio(7) was 61.1% in 3Q 2024, compared to 59.8% in 2Q 2024 and 54.4% in 3Q 2023.
Income Taxes
We recorded a $21.1 million income tax provision in 3Q 2024, compared to $21.3 million in 2Q 2024 and $22.9 million in 3Q 2023.
The effective tax rate was 24.7% in 3Q 2024 compared to 23.5% in 2Q 2024 and 23.6% in 3Q 2023. The increase in effective tax rate for 3Q 2024 compared to 2Q 2024 was primarily driven by higher state taxes along with higher solar tax credit investment benefits in the second quarter. The increase in effective tax rate when compared to 3Q 2023 is attributable to an increase in state taxes. On a year-to-date basis, the effective tax rate was 24.2% in 2024 compared to 24.6% for the same period in 2023.



(7) As used in this press release, core noninterest expense and core efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of the press release.

Capital Management
Capital levels remain strong and are all substantially in excess of the “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks at September 30, 2024, with WSFS Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.68%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.46%, and Total Risk-based capital ratio of 14.71%.
WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity increased $188.7 million, or 8% (not annualized), during 3Q 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $142.9 million driven by market-value increases on available-for-sale investment securities, as well as quarterly earnings of $64.4 million. These increases were partially offset by capital returns of $22.7 million to stockholders, comprising $13.8 million from share repurchases and $8.9 million from quarterly dividends.
WSFS’ tangible common equity(8) increased $192.7 million, or 13% (not annualized), compared to June 30, 2024, primarily due to the reasons described above and scheduled amortization of intangibles. WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio increased 81bps to 12.81% during the quarter, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio(8) was 8.47% at September 30, 2024, an increase of 91bps, compared to the prior quarter.
At September 30, 2024, book value per share was $45.37, an increase of $3.36, or 8% (not annualized), from June 30, 2024, and tangible book value per share was $28.56, an increase of $3.36, or 13% (not annualized), from June 30, 2024. These increases were due to the reasons described above.
During 3Q 2024, WSFS repurchased 266,672 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $13.8 million. As of September 30, 2024, WSFS has 3,685,092 shares, or approximately 6% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under its current authorization. For the year, total capital returned to stockholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends was $101.5 million.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on November 22, 2024 to stockholders of record as of November 8, 2024.






(8) As used in this press release, tangible common equity and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude goodwill and intangible assets and the related tax-effected amortization. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of the press release.

Wealth Management pre-tax income increased $1.9 million, or 7% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2024. Net interest income increased $3.2 million, as average trust deposits were higher by $271.9 million compared to 2Q 2024. Fee revenue decreased $1.0 million from 2Q 2024, primarily due to lower seasonal tax-based revenue and nonrecurring items, partially offset by growth in Institutional Services fees. Total noninterest expense increased $0.3 million, compared to 2Q 2024, mostly due to salaries from hiring new advisors and performance-based compensation.
Wealth Management pre-tax income increased $0.5 million compared to 3Q 2023 due to higher fee revenue and net interest income. Net interest income increased $0.5 million due mostly to higher deposit balances. Fee revenue increased $4.0 million, or 12%, compared to 3Q 2023, due to increases in assignment and bankruptcy fees in Institutional Services, increased activity in The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware, and higher AUM in Private Wealth Management. Total noninterest expense increased $3.8 million driven by salary expenses from hiring new advisors and performance-based compensation.
Net AUM of $9.3 billion at the end of 3Q 2024 increased $0.3 billion, or 3% compared to 2Q 2024, and increased $1.2 billion, or 15%, compared to 3Q 2023. AUM balances over the period benefited primarily from positive returns in broader equity markets.

Cash Connect® pre-tax income decreased $0.3 million to $1.6 million, due to an increase in non-earning cash (held in vaults) related to recently onboarded Clients and higher external funding costs, while net revenue was essentially flat. ROA decreased 43bps to 1.29%, compared to 1.72% in 2Q 2024, driven by lower net income (27bps) and a change in funding mix (16bps).
Pre-tax net income increased $0.5 million, or 50%, compared to 3Q 2023, primarily driven by an increase in bailment ATMs year over year. This increase in bailment units also drove a $9.7 million increase in net revenue and a $9.1 million increase in noninterest expense compared to 3Q 2023, as we continued to optimize newly onboarded customers. ROA increased 42bps compared to 3Q 2023 due to higher net income.
As we captured market share, total ATMs and smart safes increased by 8,243, or 24%, compared to 3Q 2023, primarily driven by an increase in bailment ATMs, partially offset by a decrease in lower margin reconciliation-only ATMs.

2 Forward Looking Statements & Non-GAAP Forward Looking Statements: This presentation contains estimates, predictions, opinions, projections and other "forward-looking statements" as that phrase is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, without limitation, references to the Company's predictions or expectations of future business or financial performance as well as its goals and objectives for future operations, financial and business trends, business prospects, and management's outlook or expectations for earnings, revenues, expenses, capital levels, liquidity levels, asset quality or other future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project” and similar expressions, among others, generally identify forward- looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions (some of which may be beyond the Company's control) and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties (which change over time) and other factors, including the impacts related to or resulting from bank failures and other economic and industry volatility, including potential increased regulatory requirements and costs and potential impacts to macroeconomic conditions, the uncertain effects of geopolitical instability, armed conflicts, public health crises, inflation, interest rates and actions taken in response thereto on our business, results of operations, capital and liquidity, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties are discussed in detail in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company disclaims any duty to revise or update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company for any reason, except as specifically required by law. As used in this presentation, the terms "WSFS", "the Company", "registrant", "we", "us", and "our" mean WSFS Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, unless the context indicates otherwise.

These non-GAAP measures include Core Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), Core Net Income, Core Fee Revenue, Core Fee Revenue ratio, Core Efficiency ratio, Pre-provision Net Revenue (“PPNR”), Core PPNR, PPNR to average assets ratio, Core PPNR to average assets ratio, Core Return on Assets (“ROA”), core net interest income, Core Net Interest Margin (“NIM”), Tangible Common Equity (“TCE”), tangible assets, Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROTCE”), Core ROTCE, Core Fee Revenue, Core Fee Revenue ratio, net tangible income, tangible common book value (“TBV”), TBV excluding AOCI, coverage ratio including the remaining credit marks, and Effective AOCI. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. The Company’s management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the Company’s financial performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
