CEO Commentary
Rodger Levenson, Chairman, President and CEO, said, "Our 3Q operating results reflect the continued optimization of the significant franchise investment over the past several years. Revenue growth was highlighted by solid quarterly loan growth of 3%, a NIM of 4.08%, and strong performance across our major fee businesses.
"While the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware regional economy continues to demonstrate resiliency, we anticipate continued uncertainty in the near-term outlook. In that regard, our balance sheet remains strong with an ACL coverage of 1.28%, significant liquidity capacity, and all regulatory capital ratios above “well-capitalized” levels.
"During the quarter, we were pleased to announce the expansion of our Wealth Management business in southern Delaware and the establishment of a new presence in Boca Raton, Florida with the acquisition of a registered investment advisory firm's business based in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
"In addition, WSFS was honored to be voted reader's pick as the Best Bank For Customer Service in 2023 in South Jersey Biz Magazine. This recognition is another tribute to our over 2,200 Associates who live our Mission: We Stand For Service every day."

Net interest margin of 4.08% compared to 4.11% for 2Q 2023, reflects increasing deposit betas, partially offset by higher loan yields.

Total net credit costs were $18.2 million, driven by overall net loan growth and portfolio migration. The ACL coverage ratio was 1.28%, flat from 2Q 2023.
WSFS Bank capital ratios remain significantly above "well-capitalized" levels, with total risk-based capital of 14.43% and Common Equity Tier 1 of 13.26%.

See “Notes”
While overall asset quality metrics remained near historically favorable levels, leading indicators reflected the impact of the slowing economy. Problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ACL ratio increased to 23.61% from June 30, 2023 due to downgrades in the Construction, Commercial Mortgage - Office, and C&I portfolios. Delinquencies increased $38.0 million, or 28 bps of gross loans compared to June 30, 2023 largely due to two multi-family loans and one healthcare loan. Total delinquencies to gross loans were 87 bps.
Nonperforming assets increased $24.2 million, or 13 bps of total assets compared to June 30, 2023 primarily driven by two unrelated C&I loans that experienced significant operational challenges.
Net charge-offs were $14.3 million, or 0.45% (annualized) of average gross loans during the quarter. Approximately 60% of these charge-offs can be attributed to the Upstart and NewLane portfolios, while the remaining charge-offs were mainly linked to the loans mentioned above.
Total net credit costs were $18.2 million in the quarter compared to $16.4 million in 2Q 2023. The ACL was $176.0 million as of September 30, 2023, an increase of $4.1 million from June 30, 2023. The increases in net credit costs and ACL from the prior quarter were due to overall net loan growth. The ACL coverage ratio was 1.28%, flat from June 30, 2023.

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

Core Fee Revenue
Fees continue to be resilient and well-diversified among various sources, including Wealth Management, Cash Connect®, traditional and other banking fees, capital markets and mortgage banking. Core fee revenue (noninterest income) of $73.4 million increased $6.0 million, or 9% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2023, driven by increases of $2.0 million in core banking across consumer partnerships and BOLI income, $1.9 million in capital markets income, which can be uneven from period to period depending on market drivers, $1.2 million in Cash Connect® and $1.0 million in Wealth Management fees driven by Institutional Trust and Private Wealth Management.
Core fee revenue increased $8.5 million, or 13%, compared to 3Q 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $5.8 million increase in Cash Connect®, $3.8 million in Wealth Management fees, and $2.8 million in capital markets fees, partially offset by a decrease of $3.7 million in core banking fees from lower returns on derivative collateral as a result of funding optimization and lower income from our consumer partnerships.
For 3Q 2023, our core fee revenue ratio(7) was 28.6% compared to 27.0% in 2Q 2023 and 26.8% in 3Q 2022.








(7) 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(8)
Core noninterest expense of $139.6 million increased $1.1 million, or 1% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2023. The increase is primarily due to $2.1 million in salaries and benefits and $1.0 million from Cash Connect® partially offset by decreases of $1.5 million in professional fees and $0.6 million in occupancy expenses.
Core noninterest expense increased $9.3 million, or 7%, compared to 3Q 2022. The increase is primarily due to $6.9 million in higher variable operating costs, driven by higher Cash Connect® funding costs from the rising interest rate environment, and $2.2 million from salaries and benefits.
Our core efficiency ratio(8) was 54.4% in 3Q 2023, compared to 55.5% in 2Q 2023 and 53.8% in 3Q 2022.
Income Taxes
We recorded a $22.9 million income tax provision in 3Q 2023, compared to $23.0 million in 2Q 2023 and $25.8 million in 3Q 2022.
The effective tax rate was 23.6% in 3Q 2023 compared to 25.1% in 2Q 2023 and 26.0% in 3Q 2022. The decrease in effective tax rate for 3Q 2023 compared to 2Q 2023 was primarily driven by favorable tax benefits projected from our Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) investments and state taxes. The decrease in effective tax rate for 3Q 2023 compared to 3Q 2022 was primarily due to the favorable tax benefits described above and the impact of a discrete state tax item associated with the sale of the BMT Insurance Advisors business in 2022.





(8) 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, 2023 with WSFS Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.72%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.26%, and Total Risk-based capital ratio of 14.43%.
WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity decreased $71.9 million, or 3% (not annualized), during 3Q 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $124.7 million driven by market-value declines on investment securities due to the rising interest rate environment, capital returns of $24.9 million to stockholders, comprising $15.7 million from share repurchases and $9.2 million from quarterly dividends, and was partially offset by quarterly earnings of $74.2 million.
WSFS’ tangible common equity(9) decreased $76.1 million, or 6% (not annualized), compared to June 30, 2023. WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio was 11.19% at September 30, 2023, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio(9) decreased by 27bps during the quarter to 6.49%, primarily due to the reasons described above.
At September 30, 2023, book value per share was $36.93, a decrease of $0.96, or 3% (not annualized), from June 30, 2023, and tangible common book value per share(9) was $20.33, a decrease of $1.12, or 5% (not annualized), from June 30, 2023.
During 3Q 2023, WSFS repurchased 386,900 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $15.7 million. As of September 30, 2023, WSFS has 5,582,593 shares, or approximately 9% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under its current authorizations.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on November 17, 2023 to stockholders of record as of November 3, 2023.



(9) As used in this press release, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible common book value per share 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 decreased $0.5 million compared to 2Q 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a higher recovery of credit losses during the prior quarter. Fee revenue increased $0.4 million, or 1%, from 2Q 2023, primarily due to continued growth in Institutional Services. Total noninterest expense increased $0.2 million compared to 2Q 2023.
Wealth Management pre-tax income increased $9.1 million compared to 3Q 2022, driven by higher net interest income and fee revenue in Institutional Services and Private Wealth Management. Fee revenue increased $3.4 million compared to 3Q 2022 due to account growth in Institutional Services and AUM in Private Wealth Management. Total noninterest expense increased $0.3 million compared to 3Q 2022.
Net AUM of $8.1 billion at the end of 3Q 2023 was flat compared to 2Q 2023, and increased $0.8 billion compared to 3Q 2022. AUM balances over the period were primarily impacted by returns in broader equity and fixed income markets.

Pre-tax income increased $0.2 million compared to 2Q 2023, driven by higher smart safe and managed services volume. ROA increased 15bps from 2Q 2023 primarily due to the same reasons.
Net Revenue increased $5.2 million and noninterest expense increased $6.1 million compared to 3Q 2022 due to the reasons described above.

the Company's ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements, including its ability to generate liquidity internally or raise capital on favorable terms; possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and stimulus programs, laws and regulations and other activities of governments, agencies, and similar organizations, and the uncertainty of the short- and long-term impacts of such changes;

the effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions that adversely affect the Company or the banking industry generally; the effects of weather, including climate change, and natural disasters such as floods, droughts, wind, tornadoes and hurricanes as well as effects from geopolitical instability, armed conflicts, public health crises and man-made disasters including terrorist attacks; the effects of regional or national civil unrest (including any resulting branch or ATM closures or damage); possible changes in the speed of loan prepayments by the Company's Customers and loan origination or sales volumes; possible changes in the speed of prepayments of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) due to changes in the interest rate environment, and the related acceleration of premium amortization on prepayments in the event that prepayments accelerate; regulatory limits on the Company's ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries and pay dividends to its stockholders; any reputation, credit, interest rate, market, operational, litigation, legal, liquidity, regulatory and compliance risk resulting from developments related to any of the risks discussed above;

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 recent 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 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, 2022, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, 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.

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.
