CEO Commentary

Rodger Levenson, Chairman, President and CEO, said, “We are very pleased to end 2022 with strong 4Q results and momentum. Core EPS⁽³⁾ of $1.38 and Core ROA⁽³⁾ of 1.71% represented a significant lift from 3Q increasing 12% and 13%, respectively.

"Our operating performance was driven by a 50 basis point increase in NIM to 4.49% and solid loan growth. The strength and diversity of our fee revenue was also evident in the quarter. The decline in total deposits was a result of continued absorption of customer excess liquidity combined with lower transactional related deposits in our institutional trust business and normal reduction in seasonal municipal accounts. Credit metrics remained very favorable and capital levels strong.

"Despite the uncertain economic outlook, we enter 2023 highly optimistic about our unique market position and the growth potential of WSFS. The entire organization is focused on optimizing our prior strategic investments and strengthening our opportunity as the largest locally-headquartered bank and wealth management franchise in the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware region.

"I extend my sincere thanks to our over 2,100 Associates for their commitment, dedication, service to our customers, and overall contributions to this successful and milestone year.”

• Core EPS was $1.38 compared to $1.04 for 4Q 2021.

• Customer deposits declined by $621.0 million. When excluding the decreases from seasonal public funding deposits and transactional trust deposits, the quarter-over-quarter decline was $236.3 million, or 2% (6% annualized), primarily from continued customer utilization of excess liquidity.

• Net interest margin expanded to 4.49% compared to 3.99% in 3Q 2022, driven by the benefits of our asset-sensitive balance sheet and reflective of competitive deposit betas.

• Total net credit costs were $13.0 million, primarily from the impact of the economic forecast and net loan growth on the provision for credit losses. The ACL coverage ratio was 1.17% compared to 1.14% at September 30, 2022.

• Core fee revenue (noninterest income)⁽⁴⁾ was $65.5 million, an increase of $0.5 million compared to 3Q 2022, resulting in a 25.2% core fee revenue as a percentage of core net revenue⁽⁴⁾, continuing to reflect the strength, resiliency, and diversification of our fee-based businesses.

• Core efficiency⁽⁴⁾ ratio was 50.8% compared to 53.8% in 3Q 2022.

• WSFS repurchased 361,980 shares of common stock at an average price of $47.76 per share, totaling an aggregate of $17.3 million.

(5) C&I loans include PPP loans of $31.5 million as of 4Q 2021.

At December 31, 2022, WSFS’ net loan and lease portfolio increased $182.1 million, or 6% (annualized), when compared with September 30, 2022. Excluding the run-off in our acquired residential mortgage portfolio, net loans and leases increased $201.8 million, or 7% (annualized), due to increases of $129.3 million in our consumer partnerships, primarily from Spring EQ (home equity loans), $70.7 million in commercial mortgage, and $24.3 million in commercial small business leases.

In line with our strategic plan, the C&I portfolio (including owner-occupied real estate) continued to be our largest portfolio at 37% of net loans and leases. Additionally, our total commercial loan portfolio continues to represent a majority of our lending portfolio at 79% of net loans and leases.

Net loans and leases at December 31, 2022 increased $3.9 billion when compared with December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by the $3.5 billion of net loans and leases acquired in the combination with Bryn Mawr Trust.

The following table summarizes customer deposit balances and composition at December 31, 2022 compared to September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Customer Deposits
(Dollars in millions)		December 31, 2022						September 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
Noninterest demand		$	5,739		36	%		$	6,171		37	%		$	4,565		35	%
Interest-bearing demand			3,347		21				3,462		21				2,793		21
Savings			2,162		13				2,266		14				1,971		15
Money market			3,731		23				3,740		22				2,906		22
Total core deposits			14,979		93				15,639		94				12,235		93
Customer time deposits			1,102		7				1,063		6				989		7
Total customer deposits		$	16,081		100	%		$	16,702		100	%		$	13,224		100	%

At December 31, 2022, total customer deposits decreased $621.0 million, or 4% (15% annualized), when compared with September 30, 2022. When excluding declines of $132.9 million in seasonally lower public funding deposits and $251.8 million in transactional trust deposits, deposits declined $236.3 million, or 2% (6% annualized), primarily driven by continued customer utilization of excess liquidity.

Customer deposits increased by $2.9 billion from December 31, 2021 primarily driven by the $4.1 billion of deposits acquired in the combination with Bryn Mawr Trust. This increase was primarily offset by the continued customer utilization of excess liquidity.

More than half of our customer deposits, or 54%, are from our Commercial, Small Business and Wealth Management customer relationships. The ratio of net loans and leases to customer deposits was 73% at December 31, 2022, reflecting continued capacity to fund future loan growth.

Core deposits were a strong 93% of total customer deposits, and no- and low-cost checking accounts represented a robust 57% of total customer deposits, at December 31, 2022. These core deposits predominantly represent longer-term, less price-sensitive customer relationships.

Net interest income increased $17.1 million, or 10% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2022, primarily due to the benefits of our asset-sensitive balance sheet and loan growth. Net interest income increased $85.7 million, or 79%, compared to 4Q 2021, primarily due to a $49.0 million increase from the benefits of our asset-sensitive balance sheet and $39.9 million from the balance sheet size and mix due to the combination with Bryn Mawr Trust.

Net interest margin increased 50bps from 3Q 2022 due to impact from the benefits of our asset-sensitive balance sheet and loan growth. Net interest margin increased 139bps from 4Q 2021, primarily due to a favorable increase of 123bps from the benefits of our asset-sensitive balance sheet and 32bps from the balance sheet size and mix.

The following table summarizes credit quality metrics as of and for the period ended December 31, 2022 compared to September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(Dollars in millions)		December 31, 2022				September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
Problem assets		$	462.1			$	472.9			$	386.2

Ratio of allowance for credit losses to nonaccruing loans			666				755				569
See “Notes”

Overall credit metric ratios remained positive and stable during the quarter and continued to reflect the strength of the originated and acquired portfolios. Total problem assets⁽⁶⁾ decreased to $462.1 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $472.9 million at September 30, 2022, primarily from upgrades in commercial mortgage loans and our hotel sector. Total problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ACL was 21.44% at December 31, 2022, compared to 23.17% at September 30, 2022.

Delinquencies to gross loans decreased to 0.51% at December 31, 2022 compared to 0.59% at September 30, 2022, reflecting the resolution of elevated administrative delinquencies identified in the third quarter.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 0.22% at December 31, 2022 compared to 0.19% at September 30, 2022. The ratio of nonperforming assets (excluding accruing TDRs) to total assets at December 31, 2022 was 0.12% compared to 0.10% at September 30, 2022. Net charge-offs for 4Q 2022 were $7.7 million, or 0.26% (annualized) of average gross loans, including a charge-off related to one service-based C&I relationship that experienced unique operating challenges during the year.

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

Total net credit costs were $13.0 million in the quarter as compared to $8.5 million in 3Q 2022. The increase in credit costs was primarily due to $8.5 million from the continued weakening in the economic forecast and $4.8 million related to the mix of new loan originations. The ACL of $151.9 million as of December 31, 2022 increased $5.7 million from September 30, 2022, primarily due to the change in economic forecasts and loan growth, partially offset by upgrades to criticized and classified loans.

Core Fee Revenue

Core fee revenue (noninterest income) of $65.5 million increased $0.5 million, or 1% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2022, primarily driven by $2.6 million at Cash Connect, driven by higher bailment revenue from variable rate pricing, $1.3 million in capital markets income, and $1.2 million in Wealth Management revenue, offset by decreases of $4.0 million in other banking fees, which included lower income from our equity investments and sales of SBA loans, and $0.7 million in mortgage banking fees.

Core fee revenue increased $19.5 million, or 42%, compared to 4Q 2021, primarily driven by a $13.4 million increase in Wealth Management revenue, of which $13.1 million was attributable to the combination with Bryn Mawr Trust. In addition, the year-over-year increase included $7.3 million in Cash Connect^® and $2.1 million in capital markets income. Partially offsetting the increase was a $3.8 million decline in mortgage banking fees primarily resulting from the decline in refinancing originations compared to the historically higher levels in 4Q 2021.

For 4Q 2022, core fee revenue was 25.2% of core net revenue compared to 26.8% in 3Q 2022 and 29.8% in 4Q 2021. Fees continue to be resilient and well-diversified among various sources, including traditional and other banking fees, mortgage banking, capital markets, Wealth Management, and Cash Connect^®.

Core Noninterest Expense⁽⁷⁾

Core noninterest expense of $132.2 million increased $1.8 million, or 1% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2022, primarily from $2.7 million in professional fees related to Wealth customer-related tax services (offset in fee revenue), project implementations and legal costs. In addition, there were $1.8 million higher variable operating costs from Cash Connect^® driven by the rising interest rate environment. These increases were offset by $1.4 million lower loan workout and other credit costs and $1.1 million lower check fraud costs.

Core noninterest expense increased $33.5 million, or 34%, compared to 4Q 2021, primarily due to higher costs from the acquisition of Bryn Mawr Trust. These higher costs support the overall franchise growth of the combined company, including $17.2 million in salaries and benefits, $10.2 million of higher variable operating costs, including $4.0 million from Cash Connect^®. In addition, there were $2.1 million in higher professional fees and $1.3 million in intangibles amortization expense. Our core efficiency ratio was 50.8% in 4Q 2022, compared to 53.8% in 3Q 2022 and 63.9% in 4Q 2021, primarily due to the impact of higher net interest income.

Income Taxes

We recorded a $28.0 million income tax provision in 4Q 2022, compared to a $25.8 million income tax provision in 3Q 2022 and $15.5 million in 4Q 2021, driven by higher earnings.

The effective tax rate was 24.9% in 4Q 2022, compared to 26.0% in 3Q 2022 and 21.5% in 4Q 2021. The increase in effective tax rate for 4Q 2022 compared to 4Q 2021 was primarily due to the acquisition of Bryn Mawr Trust, including higher state taxes and other nondeductible costs.

(7) As used in this press release, core noninterest expense is a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes corporate development and restructuring expense. 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.

Capital Management

Capital levels remain strong and are all substantially in excess of the “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks at December 31, 2022 with WSFS Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.29%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.86%, and Total Risk-based capital ratio of 13.84%.

At December 31, 2022, WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity increased $101.5 million, or 5% (not annualized), during 4Q 2022. The increase was primarily due to quarterly earnings of $84.4 million and an improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $39.6 million from market-value increases on investment securities. These increases were partially offset by capital returns of $26.5 million to stockholders including $17.3 million from share repurchases and $9.2 million from quarterly dividends.

WSFS’ tangible common equity⁽⁸⁾ increased $105.7 million, or 10% (not annualized) compared to September 30, 2022. WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio was 11.07% at December 31, 2022, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio⁽⁸⁾ increased by 58bps during the quarter to 6.31% primarily due to the reasons described above.

At December 31, 2022, book value per share was $35.79, an increase of $1.83, or 5% (not annualized), from September 30, 2022, and tangible common book value per share⁽⁸⁾ was $19.36, an increase of $1.81, or 10% (not annualized), from September 30, 2022 primarily due to the reasons described above.

During 4Q 2022, WSFS repurchased 361,980 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $17.3 million. As of December 31, 2022, WSFS has 6,588,771 shares, or approximately 11% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under its current authorizations. For the year, total capital returned to stockholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends was $229.9 million.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on February 17, 2023 to stockholders of record as of February 3, 2023.

(8) 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.

Wealth Management reported pre-tax income of $25.9 million in 4Q 2022 compared to $20.9 million in 3Q 2022, and $23.4 million in 4Q 2021, which included $13.3 million attributable to a recovery from the previously disclosed Charter Oak legal settlement in 4Q 2021. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily attributable to net interest income growth in our Private Banking business and higher fee income in the Institutional Trust business. The year-over-year increase was mainly from the combination of Bryn Mawr Trust and the higher interest rate environment.

Fee revenue was $31.0 million in 4Q 2022, an increase of $1.1 million or 4% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2022, and an increase of $13.2 million, or 74%, compared to 4Q 2021.

Cash Connect^® reported pre-tax income of $1.2 million for 4Q 2022, a decrease of $0.8 million, compared to 3Q 2022 and a decrease of $1.2 million compared to 4Q 2021, driven by increased operating costs associated with the rising interest rate environment and costs associated with the growth in the retail safe business. ROA of 0.65% in 4Q 2022 decreased 34bps from 3Q 2022 and decreased 89bps from 4Q 2021, primarily driven by the reasons described above. Ongoing balance sheet optimization resulting from a significant third-party funding conversion and other optimization efforts are expected to improve Net Income and ROA beginning in 1Q 2023.

Net revenue⁽¹²⁾ of $13.9 million in 4Q 2022 was up $1.0 million from 3Q 2022 and up $2.8 million from 4Q 2021 driven by the rising interest rate environment (offset by higher external funding expense) and higher year-over-year managed services volume.

Noninterest expense⁽¹³⁾ was $12.7 million in 4Q 2022, an increase of $1.8 million higher compared to 3Q 2022 and $4.0 million higher compared to 4Q 2021 driven by higher external funding expense.

At the end of 4Q 2022, Cash Connect^® had approximately $1.7 billion in cash managed with 19% year-over-year growth in retail safe units. Cash Connect^® continues to focus on investment in its growing product lines and expand these services across the country, alongside a wide network and strong pipeline of channel partners, retailers, and top-tier financial institutions.
