CEO Commentary
Rodger Levenson, Chairman, CEO and President, said, "Despite a challenging operating environment, we are pleased to report first quarter earnings of a core EPS(3) of $1.11 and accompanying core ROA(3) of 1.31%. Our results were highlighted by annualized loan growth of 7% across both Commercial and Consumer business lines and continued solid, diversified core fee revenue(3) of $76.5 million. Deposit levels remained essentially flat excluding the reduction of corporate trust deposits, which can vary from quarter to quarter, and the net interest margin of 3.84% reflects continued competitive market conditions.
"Overall asset quality metrics remained stable and included reductions in both NPAs and net charge-offs. In light of the continued uncertain economic and interest rate environment, we remain very focused on prudently strengthening our balance sheet. This includes ongoing proactive credit risk management and a continued build of our ACL reserves which stood at 1.48% of total loans and leases at quarter end. Bank capital levels remain strong with CET1 at 14.00% and total risk based capital at 15.25% and above "well-capitalized" including the full impact of AOCI.
"During the quarter, we were honored to be named a recipient of both the Gallup Exceptional Workplaces for the eighth time since 2016 and Forbes America's Best Banks 2024. These recognitions are a direct result of our over 2,200 associates who continue to live our mission of 'We Stand for Service'."







(3) As used in this press release, core EPS, core ROA and core fee revenue 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 1Q 2024: 
•Core EPS was $1.11 compared to $1.15 for 4Q 2023.
•Core ROA was 1.31% compared to 1.36% for 4Q 2023.
•Gross loan growth of 2% (7% annualized) from 4Q 2023 driven primarily by growth across the commercial portfolio and our consumer partnership with Spring EQ (home equity loans).
•Customer deposits decreased by $235.2 million, or 1% (6% annualized) for the quarter, primarily driven by a $207.4 million decrease in expected trust deposit activity and $81.9 million from a short-term commercial deposit.
•Core fee revenue (noninterest income) of $76.5 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 2% (not annualized), compared to 4Q 2023, primarily due to lower income from our equity position in Spring EQ, which was sold in 4Q 2023.
•Net interest margin of 3.84% compared to 3.99% for 4Q 2023, reflects lagging increases in deposit pricing following rate hikes in 2023.
•Total net credit costs were $16.2 million, down from $25.4 million for 4Q 2023 due to lower provision on our NewLane and Upstart portfolios.
•WSFS Bank capital ratios remain significantly above "well-capitalized" levels, with total risk-based capital of 15.25% and Common Equity Tier 1 of 14.00%.
•WSFS repurchased 492,368 shares of common stock at an average price of $42.62 per share, totaling an aggregate of $21.0 million. The Board of Directors also approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share.
•Tangible common book value (TBV) per share(4) increased by $0.19 to $24.52
•Recorded a $1.3 million expense for the FDIC Special Assessment as a result of the FDIC's revised estimated losses related to the closures of certain banks in 2023.



(4) As used in this press release, TBV per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments.

Gross loans and leases at March 31, 2024 increased $823.9 million, or 7%, when compared with March 31, 2023.

Customer deposits increased by $306.8 million from March 31, 2023 primarily due to short-term deposit increases in the Wealth and Trust business lines.
Our deposit base remains highly diverse, with more than half of our customer deposits, or 52%, coming from our Commercial, Small Business, Wealth and Trust business lines. The loan-to-deposit ratio(5) was 79% at March 31, 2024, reflecting continued capacity to fund future loan growth.

Overall asset quality metrics remained stable and reflect continued credit normalization from prior favorable levels. Problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ACL ratio of 23.42% decreased 2bps from December 31, 2023. Delinquencies of $104.5 million or 81bps of gross loans increased $2.6 million, or 1bps compared to December 31, 2023.
Nonperforming assets decreased $8.6 million, or 4bps of total assets, compared to December 31, 2023 driven by the resolution of two nonperforming C&I loans. Net charge-offs decreased $6.0 million to $8.6 million, or 0.27% (annualized) of average gross loans during the quarter, due to lower charge-offs in our C&I and Construction portfolios. Excluding NewLane and Upstart, net charge-offs were a net recovery of $0.8 million.
Total net credit costs were $16.2 million in the quarter compared to $25.4 million in 4Q 2023, primarily due to lower provision on our NewLane and Upstart portfolios. The ACL was $192.6 million as of March 31, 2024, an increase of $6.5 million from December 31, 2023. The ACL coverage ratio was 1.48%, an increase of 2bps from December 31, 2023. The increase in ACL from the prior quarter was primarily due to specific reserves for two nonperforming C&I relationships.


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

Core Fee Revenue
Fee business, including Wealth Management, Cash Connect®, capital markets and mortgage banking, continue to perform well, as expected, and reflect the investments we are making to diversify our fee businesses. Core fee revenue (noninterest income) decreased $1.5 million, or 2% (not annualized), compared to 4Q 2023 to $76.5 million, resulting from $3.5 million of lower income from our equity position in Spring EQ, which was sold in 4Q 2023. Excluding the impact from Spring EQ, fee revenue increased, mainly due to an additional $3.3 million in Cash Connect® driven by ATM vault cash units added during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Core fee revenue increased $12.8 million, or 20%, compared to 1Q 2023. The increase was primarily driven by $8.2 million from Cash Connect® due to the addition of ATM vault cash units during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the higher rate environment and $2.3 million from our Wealth and Trust business lines.
For 1Q 2024, our core fee revenue ratio(7) was 30.3% compared to 30.4% in 4Q 2023 and 25.8% in 1Q 2023. Fee revenue is a competitive differentiator providing a well-diversified source of revenue with further growth opportunities expected across all sources.








(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 $147.6 million increased $7.8 million, or 6% (not annualized), compared to 4Q 2023. Core noninterest expenses included a one-time benefit of approximately $3.2 million in 1Q 2024, reflecting lower actual incentive payments made for 2023 and $3.9 million of net favorable one-time adjustments in 4Q 2023 related to certain employee benefit plan valuations that were partially offset by accelerated costs associated with the closure of a branch. Excluding these nonrecurring items, expenses increased $7.2 million over the prior quarter. The increase was mostly due to Cash Connect® external funding costs, which increased $5.2 million from $8.3 million to $13.5 million compared to 4Q 2023. The remainder of the increase in expenses for the quarter was primarily driven by higher 401(k) expense and payroll taxes associated with annual incentive payouts made during the first quarter.
Core noninterest expense increased $14.5 million, or 11%, compared to 1Q 2023. The increase was primarily due to $7.7 million from Cash Connect® external funding costs, $3.0 million in salaries and benefits, $1.1 million in loan workout and OREO expenses, and $1.1 million in uninsured losses.
Our core efficiency ratio(8) was 58.6% in 1Q 2024, compared to 54.5% in 4Q 2023 and 53.9% in 1Q 2023.
Income Taxes
We recorded a $21.2 million income tax provision in 1Q 2024, compared to $29.4 million in 4Q 2023 and $20.9 million in 1Q 2023.
The effective tax rate was 24.4% in 1Q 2024 compared to 31.6% in 4Q 2023 and 25.0% in 1Q 2023. The decrease in effective tax rate for 1Q 2024 compared to 4Q 2023 was primarily driven by the surrender of BOLI policies during the prior quarter.



(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 March 31, 2024 with WSFS Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.14%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.00%, and Total Risk-based capital ratio of 15.25%.
WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity decreased $4.2 million, or less than 1% (not annualized), during 1Q 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $42.9 million driven by market-value decreases on investment securities and capital returns of $30.1 million to stockholders, comprising $21.0 million from share repurchases and $9.1 million from quarterly dividends and was partially offset by quarterly earnings of $65.8 million.
WSFS’ tangible common equity(9) increased $0.1 million, or less than 1% (not annualized), compared to December 31, 2023 primarily due to scheduled amortization of intangibles offset by the reasons described above. WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio was 12.02% and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio(9) was 7.52% at March 31, 2024, both essentially flat compared to the prior quarter.
At March 31, 2024, book value per share was $41.17, an increase of $0.24, or 1% (not annualized), from December 31, 2023, and tangible common book value per share(9) was $24.52, an increase of $0.19, or 1% (not annualized), from December 31, 2023.
During 1Q 2024, WSFS repurchased 492,368 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $21.0 million. As of March 31, 2024, WSFS has 4,849,225 shares, or approximately 8% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under its current authorizations. For the year, total capital returned to stockholder through share repurchases and quarterly dividends was $30.1 million.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on May 24, 2024 to stockholders of record as of May 10, 2024.







(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 $1.0 million, or 4% (not annualized) compared to 4Q 2023.
Fee revenue decreased $2.5 million from 4Q 2023, primarily due to an adjustment to deferred revenue in Institutional Services and seasonally lower activity at Bryn Mawr Trust of Delaware. Net interest income increased $1.3 million as average trust deposits were higher by $92.6 million compared to 4Q 2023. Total noninterest expense decreased $0.6 million compared to 4Q 2023 driven by lower technology-related expenses.
Wealth Management pre-tax income increased $3.1 million compared to 1Q 2023. Fee revenue increased $2.6 million, or 8%, compared to 1Q 2023 due to AUM growth in Private Wealth Management including the Rehoboth expansion and account growth in Institutional Services. Net interest income increased $1.7 million.
Net AUM of $8.9 billion at the end of 1Q 2024 increased $0.3 billion, or 4% (not annualized), compared to 4Q 2023, and increased $1.0 billion, or 12%, compared to 1Q 2023. AUM balances over the period benefited primarily from positive returns in broader equity markets.

Cash Connect® net revenue increased $5.1 million from 4Q 2023 driven by ATM vault cash units added during the quarter. Noninterest expense increased $6.0 million due to higher funding cost associated with the shift toward external funding and non-recurring onboarding costs for the additional units. As a result, pre-tax income decreased $0.8 million and ROA decreased 34bps to 0.83% compared to 4Q 2023.
Net revenue increased $8.6 million compared to 1Q 2023 due to the added units described above. Noninterest expense increased $8.5 million due to the reasons described above. Pre-tax income was essentially flat compared to 1Q 2023. ROA increased 38bps to 0.83% compared to 1Q 2023 due to a higher proportion of external funding.
During 1Q 2024, Cash Connect® added 4,336 serviced non-bank ATMs as a result of a large industry participant exiting their ATM cash vault business. Cash Connect® is targeting additional unit growth opportunities in 2024 as a result of the factor mentioned above.

The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project” and similar expressions, among others, generally identify forward- looking statements.
