WSFS REPORTS 4th QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2012 NET INCOME;

FULL YEAR EPS INCREASED 43% ABOVE 2011 LEVELS;

ROA IMPROVED 30% OVER 2011

WILMINGTON, Del., — WSFS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: WSFS), the parent company of WSFS Bank, reported net income of $31.3 million or $3.25 per diluted common share for the full year of 2012, a 43% improvement from $2.28 per diluted common share, or $22.7 million, reported for the full year 2011.

For the fourth quarter of 2012, WSFS reported net income of $7.6 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $10.0 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2012, and net income of $6.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Highlights for the fourth quarter:

• Core revenues^(q) increased 10% annualized from prior quarter, driven by both net interest income and robust fee income growth, reflecting success in building market share.

• Record sales of Personal Trust products were accompanied by strong revenues in Investment Management and Retail Brokerage. Overall wealth management income increased 20% from the fourth quarter of 2011.

• Lending growth accelerated in the quarter with total net loans increasing $59.6 million, or 9% annualized. This growth included an increase of $65.4 million, or 12% annualized in total commercial loans, and an increase of $6.3 million, or 9% annualized in consumer loans.

1

• Customer funding growth continued at strong levels despite intentional run-off in high-cost certificate of deposit accounts. Adjusted for short-term, temporary trust deposits held at year end, total customer funding increased $62.9 million, or 9% annualized, and core deposits increased $154.0 million, or 28% annualized during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Notable items in the fourth quarter:

• WSFS realized $3.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share (after-tax), in net gains on securities sales, primarily from continued portfolio management. In addition, a portion of the gain resulted from the early-stages of a program to deleverage the Company’s balance sheet by $125 million in MBS. As of the end of 2012, approximately $55 million of the MBS reduction was completed (with the balance identified and completed during January 2013).

• More than offsetting the gains on securities sales, on December 13, 2012, WSFS prepaid $125 million in FHLB advances with an average rate of 2.63% and recorded a prepayment penalty of $3.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share (after-tax).

• A change in the method of billing for armored car services by the Company’s Cash Connect division caused revenues and expenses for these services to be reported separately rather than netted together in the Company’s Statement of Operations. The impact will be ongoing and resulted in an increase of $660,000 in both noninterest income (other income) and noninterest expenses (other operating expenses) during the fourth quarter of 2012.

CEO outlook and commentary:

Mark A. Turner, President and CEO, said, “We are pleased to report strong growth in bottom line performance at WSFS for 2012; recording solid increases in return on assets, return on equity and diluted earnings per share compared to 2011 levels. These substantial increases reflect growth and improvement in all of our business segments driven by increased revenues, despite industry headwinds.

2

“More importantly, we see 2012 as a watershed year in preparing our company for even greater success. The Asset Strategies, undertaken in the second quarter of 2012, substantially improved the credit quality of our assets and is shown in significantly improved credit statistics which compare favorably to industry peers. This improvement in credit is important not only in its implications for lower credit costs, but also in freeing more of our resources to focus on winning new, high quality, business. The benefits are already apparent in our fourth quarter results and balance sheet growth. Additionally, we expect the prepayment of FHLB advances and the MBS deleverage we began late in the fourth quarter will yield notable improvement in this coming year’s net income, EPS and returns metrics, while further stabilizing our margin and strengthening our capital position.

“Our improvements are driven by continued success in building our business model of ‘Engaged Associates delivering Stellar Service growing Customer Advocates and value for our Owners’. WSFS again was rated a Top Workplace in Delaware and Customer engagement scores reached an all-time high, ranking WSFS in the 95th percentile of Gallup’s broad database of companies. Additionally, we were voted “Top Bank” in Delaware by the readers of The News Journal and DelawareOnline.com in their annual Readers’ Choice Awards. This Associate engagement and Customer advocacy has been critical to our success in market share growth, and positions us well to continue to grow in 2013.

“We look forward to the opportunities we see in 2013 and our next steps in becoming a sustainably high performing company.”

Fourth Quarter 2012 Discussion of Financial Results

Net interest income increased from loan growth and continued rate management

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $31.5 million, an increase of $605,000 from the third quarter of 2012. The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 3.39%, or a two basis point decrease from 3.41% reported for the third quarter of 2012. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, net interest income decreased $918,000 and the net interest margin decreased 22 basis points.

3

The net interest income increase in the fourth quarter relative to the third quarter reflects lending growth and was achieved despite slight net interest margin compression. The two basis point net interest margin decline in the fourth quarter was the net result of approximately a six basis point decrease from the full quarter impact of the issuance of $55 million of 6.25% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) during the third quarter of 2012, offset by other improvements.

The decrease in net interest income and margin over the same period of 2011 was largely due to the impact of the Senior Notes as well as significantly reduced rates on the mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) portfolio, resulting from substantial sales and paydowns with subsequent reinvestment at much lower market rates.

Customer funding growth reflects continued success of business lines

Customer funding increased to $3.1 billion at December 31, 2012, an increase of $204.1 million, or 7%, and included core deposit growth of $295.2 million, or 13%, over levels reported at September 30, 2012. The growth included $141.2 million in short-term, temporary trust-related money market deposits at year-end. Excluding these deposits, customer funding increased $62.9 million, or 2% (9% annualized), and core deposits increased a strong $154.0 million, or 7% (28% annualized). These increases reflected continued growth in market share during the quarter and more than offset the purposeful decrease of $88.4 million in high-cost, customer time deposits.

Excluding temporary trust deposits (including $55.0 million at December 31, 2011), core deposits also grew a significant $318.0 million, or 15%, and customer funding increased $159.9 million, or 6%, over December 31, 2011 balances despite a $147.4 million intentional run-off in high-cost customer time deposits.

Loan portfolio growth reflects market share gains

Total net loans were $2.7 billion at December 31, 2012, an increase of $59.6 million, or 2% (9% annualized), compared to the prior quarter-end. This was due to a $65.4 million, or 3% (12% annualized), increase in total commercial loans and $6.3 million, or 2% (9% annualized) growth in consumer loans. These increases were partially offset by the intentional decrease of $13.7 million in residential mortgage loans as the Company continued its strategy of selling newly-originated mortgages into the secondary market.

Net loans increased $23.9 million, or 1%, compared to December 31, 2011. This increase included growth of $44.9 million, or 2%, in total commercial loans, partially offset by reductions of $28.1 million in residential mortgage loans. The year-over-year comparison was impacted by the Company’s successful dispositions of a significant amount of problem loans during the year, including the second quarter of 2012 Asset Strategies initiative.

Asset quality continues to fundamentally improve

The Bank’s ratio of classified assets to total Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) was 36.8%, a continued improvement from 43.4% at September 30, 2012 and 52.2% at December 31, 2011. Total problem loans (all criticized, classified and nonperforming loans) improved during the quarter to 52.5% of Tier 1 capital plus ALLL compared to 59.7% at September 30, 2012 and 84.8% at December 31, 2011. These improvements reflect positive loan risk-rating migration, continued problem asset disposition efforts and prudent credit management.

Nonperforming assets were $62.5 million, or 1.43% of total assets at December 31, 2012, compared to $57.1 million, or 1.34% at September 30, 2012 and $91.7 million, or 2.14% at December 31, 2011.

The percentage of loan delinquencies (including delinquent nonperforming loans) to total loans was 1.62% as of December 31, 2012 compared to 1.27% as of September 30, 2012 and 2.48% as of December 31, 2011. Performing loan delinquencies remained unchanged at a very low 0.40% of total loans.

The following table summarizes current loan portfolio delinquencies as a percent of total loans compared to prior periods.

(Dollars in thousands)	At December 31,  2012				At September 30,  2012				At December 31, 2011
Total commercial loans	$	2,817	0.13	%	$	2,281	0.11	%	$	5,677	0.26	%
Residential mortgage		6,775	2.78			6,490	2.59			7,626	2.77
Consumer		1,497	0.19			1,935	0.68			3,492	1.20
Performing loan delinquencies		11,089	0.40			10,706	0.40			16,795	0.61
Nonperforming loan delinquencies		33,920	1.22			23,603	0.87			51,467	1.87
Total loan delinquencies	$	45,009	1.62	%	$	34,309	1.27	%	$	68,262	2.48	%

Asset quality statistics in any quarter can be negatively affected by the change in status of a small number of large commercial credits. This was the case in the fourth quarter, as asset quality was impacted by one commercial relationship ($12.4 million) of which a substantial portion became delinquent. The entire relationship was moved to nonaccruing status. Excluding the impact of this relationship, nonperforming assets were $50.1 million, or 1.15% of total assets and total delinquencies were 1.22% of total loans.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, net charge-offs were $5.4 million, or 0.78% (annualized), of average gross loans, compared to $4.6 million, or 0.68% (annualized), reported in the third quarter of 2012 and $7.1 million, or 1.04% (annualized) in the fourth quarter of 2011. Net charge-offs were higher during the quarter mainly due to write-downs on two large impaired commercial loans, one previously mentioned and one already in nonperforming status.

The provision for loan losses decreased to $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 from $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2012, and $6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Overall positive risk migration in the commercial loan portfolio was offset by the impact of the previously discussed large commercial relationship and loan growth. Total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan workout expenses, OREO expenses and other credit reserves) were $6.1 million, a slight increase from $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2012, mainly due to higher credit reserves on unfunded commitments and increased legal costs on workout loans.

7

The allowance for loan losses of $43.9 million at December 31, 2012 decreased from $45.6 million at September 30, 2012 and $53.1 million at December 31, 2011. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total gross loans was 1.58% at year-end compared to 1.69% at September 30, 2012 and 1.92% at December 31, 2011. These decreases reflect improvement in problem loans, a higher level of charge-offs taken during the period and growth in the loan portfolio. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonaccruing loans decreased to 92% in the fourth quarter from 114% in the third quarter of 2012, and improved from 75% for the same period of 2011.

Noninterest income reflects continued franchise growth

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company earned noninterest income of $21.2 million, an increase of $1.4 million compared to $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding securities gains in both periods, unanticipated BOLI income during the third quarter of 2012, and the Cash Connect billing change (together “notable items”), noninterest income increased $617,000, or 4%. This increase was largely due to additional wealth management income of $336,000, including seasonal increases and record product sales during the period, and a $166,000 increase in credit/debit card and ATM fees, mainly due to seasonal increases in bailment income at Cash Connect and interchange fees during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Noninterest income increased $4.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 from $17.0 million reported during the same period a year ago. Excluding the aforementioned notable items, noninterest income grew by $1.8 million, or a robust 12%. The year-over-year increase reflected growth in most all segments of our business, as wealth management income increased $590,000, or 20%; mortgage banking activities increased $475,000, or 97%; and credit/debit card and ATM income increased $427,000, or 8%.

8

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $37.2 million, an increase of $5.0 million from $32.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding the notable items mentioned earlier, noninterest expense grew $711,000, or 2% and included increases of $521,000 in professional fees, $301,000 in marketing costs and $374,000 of unfunded commitment reserve, offset by a decrease of $735,000 in compensation related expenses.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased from $33.0 million reported in the same period of 2011. Excluding notable items, noninterest expenses decreased $162,000 reflecting lower loan workout and OREO costs offset by higher salaries, benefits and other compensation.

Niche business (included in above results)

The Cash Connect^® division is a premier provider of ATM vault cash and related services in the United States. It services over $444 million in vault cash in nearly 13,000 non-bank ATMs nationwide and also operates 440 ATMs for WSFS Bank, which has the largest branded ATM network in Delaware. Cash Connect^® recorded $5.3 million in net revenue (fee income less funding costs) during the fourth quarter of 2012. This represented an increase of $750,000 compared to the third quarter of 2012 and an increase of $1.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Noninterest expenses were $3.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of $808,000 compared to the third quarter of 2012, and an increase of $1.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase in net revenue and expenses from the prior quarters was mainly due to the billing change discussed earlier in this release and continued growth in this division. As a result, Cash Connect^® reported pre-tax income of $1.8 million for both the fourth and third quarters of 2012, an increase from $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Income taxes

The Company recorded a $4.3 million income tax provision in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 36%, the effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2012 was 32%, and the effective tax rate during the fourth quarter of 2011 was 35%. (The lower effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2012 primarily reflected the impact of unanticipated tax-free BOLI income and, to a lesser extent, benefits from state and federal tax credits.)

Capital management

The Company grew stockholders’ equity by $3.3 million to $421.1 million at December 31, 2012, which included quarterly earnings partially offset by dividends paid during the quarter and a decrease in the value of the investment portfolio.

Tangible common book value per share was $38.21 at December 31, 2012, a $0.22, or 1%, increase from $37.99 reported at September 30, 2012. The Company’s tangible common equity ratio was 7.72% at December 31, 2012 compared to 7.85% at September 30, 2012. This slight decrease was driven by growth in the balance sheet during the quarter, mainly from the Company’s success in commercial lending.

At December 31, 2012, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.83%, Tier 1 risk-based ratio was 13.04% and total risk-based capital ratio was 14.29% and all maintained a substantial cushion in excess of “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks. $62.2 million in cash remains at the holding company as of December 31, 2012.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per common share. This dividend will be paid on February 22, 2013, to shareholders of record as of February 8, 2013.
