WSFS REPORTS 3Q 2018 EPS OF $1.20;

OPERATING RESULTS DRIVEN BY POSITIVE OPERATING LEVERAGE;

INCLUDING A 4.11% NET INTEREST MARGIN, STRONG FEE INCOME GROWTH,

AND DISCIPLINED COST MANAGEMENT

WILMINGTON, Del. — WSFS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: WSFS), the parent company of WSFS Bank, reported net income of $38.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted common share for 3Q 2018 compared to net income of $20.6 million, or $0.64 per share for 3Q 2017, and $28.7 million, or $0.89 per share for 2Q 2018. As disclosed in our press release dated September 13, 2018, 3Q 2018 results included a pre-tax insurance recovery of $7.9 million, or $0.19 per share; a pre-tax realized gain of $3.8 million, or $0.09 per share, from the sale of a portion of our Visa Class B shares; and a $3.2 million, or $0.07 per share, unrealized valuation gain on our remaining equity investment in Visa Class B shares.

Net revenue (which includes net interest income and noninterest income) was $105.0 million for 3Q 2018, an increase of $16.4 million, or 19%, from 3Q 2017. Net interest income was $63.1 million, an increase of $7.0 million, or 12%, from 3Q 2017; and fee income (noninterest income) was $41.9 million, an increase of $9.5 million, or 29%, from 3Q 2017, and included the Visa Class B gains described above. Noninterest expenses were $52.5 million in 3Q 2018, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 3%, from 3Q 2017, and included the $7.9 million insurance recovery described above and $3.8 million, or $0.11 per share, of corporate development costs. Including these favorable items, this resulted in 22 percentage points of positive operating leverage as compared to 3Q 2017.

For 3Q 2018, reported return on assets (ROA) was 2.18%, return on average equity was 19.8%, and the efficiency ratio was 49.8%.

Highlights for 3Q 2018:

• Core EPS⁽¹⁾ of $0.96 increased $0.32, or 50%, from $0.64 in 3Q 2017.

• Core ROA⁽¹⁾ was 1.73%, a robust 43% increase compared to 1.21% for 3Q 2017.

• Core return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE)⁽¹⁾ was 21.0% for 3Q 2018, a significant increase compared to 15.3% for 3Q 2017.

• Core net revenue⁽¹⁾ of $98.0 million increased $10.2 million, or 12% from 3Q 2017, reflecting strong and balanced organic growth, including a $7.0 million, or 12%, increase in core net interest income⁽¹⁾ and a $3.2 million, or 10%, increase in core fee income (noninterest income)⁽¹⁾. Excluding the impact of our Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policies, which were divested during 1Q 2018, core fee income increased 12% year-over-year.

• The net interest margin increased 16 bps to 4.11% from 3Q 2017, primarily as a result of the positive impacts of good positioning in the higher short-term interest rate environment, pricing discipline, and prudent balance sheet management. 

• Core noninterest expense⁽¹⁾ increased $3.3 million, or 6%, from 3Q 2017, with nearly half coming from highly variable incentive compensation costs from pay-for-performance plans. This resulted in WSFS achieving a strong 6 percentage points of positive core operating leverage.⁽¹⁾  

• Core efficiency ratio⁽¹⁾ was a healthy 57.6%, a significant improvement compared to 60.2% for 3Q 2017.

⁽¹⁾ As used in this release, core EPS, core return on average assets (ROA), core return on average tangible common equity, core net revenue, core net interest income, core fee income (noninterest income), core noninterest expense, core operating leverage and core efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures.

CEO outlook and commentary

Mark A. Turner, Chairman, President and CEO, said, "Another excellent quarter of earnings keeps us on track to well exceed the enhanced primary goals in our 2016-2018 Strategic Plan, including a full year 2018 ROA of 1.50% and creates strong momentum into 2019 and our upcoming combination with Beneficial Bancorp. For the quarter, we recorded core EPS of $0.96 and a core ROA of 1.73%, which represent record core results and sizable improvements from the prior year, even before the favorable impact of lower tax rates in the current year. Our net interest margin of 4.11% and core fee income growth of 10% from 3Q 2017 reflect strong and diversified growth across our core banking and fee income franchises, and our credit quality metrics remained strong. Significant revenue growth combined with disciplined expense management culminated in a healthy 6 percentage points of positive core operating leverage compared to 3Q 2017, and a 3Q 2018 core efficiency ratio of a 57.6%. Our high performing results and organic growth demonstrate our diversified revenue sources, the strength and sustainability of our business model, and our ability to efficiently integrate previous acquisitions.”

“During the quarter, we were named a top workplace in Delaware for the thirteenth consecutive year in The News Journal’s ‘Top Workplaces’ survey, ranking second in the large company category. We were also named a ‘Top Bank’ in Delaware for the eighth year in a row by the readers of The News Journal, and named a fastest growing company in the Greater Philadelphia region 'Soaring 76' for the second year in a row by the Philadelphia Business Journal. We believe that our sustained commitment to Associate and Customer engagement leads to our sustainable high performance. These longstanding recognitions, along with strong financial performance demonstrate the success of our focused strategy of ‘Engaged Associates delivering stellar experiences growing Customer Advocates and value for our Owners’.”

Third Quarter2018 Discussion of Financial Results

Net interest margin reflects good positioning in the rising-rate environment and disciplined pricing

Net interest margin for 3Q 2018 was a fundamentally strong 4.11%, an increase of 16bps from 3.95% for 3Q 2017. Excluding a 4 bps increase related to the redemption of $55.0 million of our senior notes in late 3Q 2017 and a 5 bps decrease in purchased loan accretion, the net interest margin increased organically 17 bps compared to 3Q 2017. The 17 bps increase includes an estimated 11 bps reflecting good positioning in the higher short-term interest rate environment and disciplined pricing, and approximately 6 bps from prudent balance sheet management, including a planned favorable change in mix of assets and liabilities. Net interest income for 3Q 2018 was $63.1 million, an increase of $7.0 million, or 12%, compared to 3Q 2017.

Net interest margin increased 1 bp from 4.10% in 2Q 2018 and net interest income increased $2.1 million, or 3% (not annualized) from 2Q 2018. Excluding 5 bps of lower purchased loan accretion during the quarter, the net interest margin increased a healthy 6 bps primarily from the higher short-term interest rate environment and disciplined pricing.

Loan growth impacted by competitive market conditions and higher paydown activity

At September 30, 2018, WSFS’ net loan portfolio was $4.92 billion, an increase of $21.3 million, or 2% (annualized), from June 30, 2018. The increase includes a $36.1 million increase, or 12% (not annualized), in construction loans and a $35.2 million, or 6% (not annualized), increase in consumer loans, offset somewhat by a $27.6 million, or 2% (not annualized), decrease in commercial mortgage loans and a $15.3 million, or 1% (not annualized), decrease in commercial and industrial (C&I) loans. The growth in consumer loans was primarily related to second-lien home equity installment loans originated through our partnership with Spring EQ. The growth in construction loans was mainly due to advances under previously closed, but unfunded, construction loan commitments. The reduction in other commercial loans primarily resulted from a significant amount of liquidity in the market and less demand from borrowers given their strong cash flow positions.   This dynamic has led to the ongoing, highly competitive pricing market, which includes competition from non-banks, resulting in increased amounts of payoffs and paydowns.  Consistent with our historical strategy, we remained focused on both pricing and credit discipline over short-term loan growth.

Compared to September 30, 2017, net loans increased $232.5 million, or 5%. The increase includes a $30.8 million decline in residential mortgages, consistent with our ongoing strategy of selling most newly-originated residential mortgages in the secondary market. Excluding the purposeful decrease in residential mortgages, net loans increased $263.3 million, or 6%, including an increase of $133.5 million, or 25%, in consumer loans and an increase of $115.4 million, or 5%, in C&I loans.

The following table summarizes loan balances and composition at September 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017:

Credit quality remains solid across key metrics

Credit quality metrics during 3Q 2018 reflect continued strength in the portfolio.

Total problem assets, which includes all criticized, classified, and nonperforming loans as well as other real estate owned (OREO), were $151.8 million at September 30, 2018, an increase compared to $143.0 million at June 30, 2018. Classified assets, which are included in total problem assets, decreased $11.1 millionto $87.6 million at September 30, 2018 from $98.7 million at June 30, 2018. Additionally, the Company’s ratio of classified assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ALLL was a low 11.30% compared to 13.28% at June 30, 2018.

Total delinquencies, which include nonperforming delinquencies, were $29.8 million at September 30, 2018, or 0.61%, of gross loans compared to $26.7 million, or 0.54%, of gross loans at June 30, 2018. Excluding nonperforming delinquencies, performing loan delinquencies were only 0.18% of gross loans at September 30, 2018 or consistent when compared to June 30, 2018.

WSFS Bank Center
500 Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 7

Total nonperforming assets decreased $1.3 million, or 2%, to $53.9 million at September 30, 2018, as compared to $55.1 million at June 30, 2018. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio likewise decreased to 0.75% at September 30, 2018 from 0.78% at June 30, 2018.

Net charge-offs for 3Q 2018 were $2.9 million, or 0.24% (annualized), of average gross loans, an increase from $2.3 million, or 0.19% (annualized), for 2Q 2018, and $2.7 million, or 0.23% (annualized), during 3Q 2017. Total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan workout expenses, OREO expenses and other credit costs), which can be uneven, were reasonably consistent at $3.7 million in 3Q 2018, $3.2 millionin 2Q 2018 and $3.5 million in 3Q 2017.

The ratio of the ALLL to total gross loans was 0.85%at September 30, 2018 compared to 0.84% at June 30, 2018. Excluding the balances for acquired loans (marked-to-market at acquisition), the ALLL to total gross loans ratio would have been 0.95% at September 30, 2018 compared with 0.94% at June 30, 2018. The ALLL was 114% of nonaccruing loans at September 30, 2018 compared to 113% at June 30, 2018and 120% at September 30, 2017.

Customer funding reflects continued core deposit strength

Total customer funding was $5.44 billion at September 30, 2018, a $402.5 million, or 8% (not annualized), increase from June 30, 2018. The increase included a $193.4 million normal seasonal increase in public funding account balances, one large, temporary commercial deposit of $127.6 million, and the positive impact from a $65.3 million increase in Trust-related deposits from long-term relationships, reflecting the positive synergy among our business lines. In addition, during 3Q 2018, we continued to take the opportunity to attract longer-term, fixed-rate funding and lengthen our overall funding duration in a rising-rate environment. As a result, Certificates of Deposit (CDs) increased $22.6 million, or 13% (annualized), in 3Q 2018.

Customer funding increased $559.0 million, or 11%, compared to September 30, 2017. Excluding the aforementioned $127.6 million temporary commercial deposit, customer funding increased $431.4 million, or 9%, year-over-year. This included a core deposit increase of $275.6 million, or 6%, over the prior year, with $191.7 million of that attributable to no- and low-cost checking deposit accounts. CDs also increased $155.7 million, or 28%, over the prior year consistent with our strategy to attract longer-term, fixed-rate funding in a rising-rate environment.

WSFS Bank Center
500 Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 8

Core deposits were 87% of total customer deposits, and no- and low-cost checking deposit accounts represented a robust 48% of total customer deposits at September 30, 2018. These core deposits predominantly represent longer-term, less price-sensitive customer relationships, which are especially valuable in a rising-rate environment. The ratio of loans to customer deposits was 91% at September 30, 2018, or 93% after excluding the $127.6 million temporary commercial deposit.

The following table summarizes customer funding balances and composition at September 30, 2018compared toJune 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017:

(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2018				June 30, 2018				September 30, 2017
Noninterest demand	$	1,515,336	28	%	$	1,434,549	29	%	$	1,357,597	28	%

Core fee income is well diversified, growing a strong 10% year-over-year (12% excluding BOLI)

Core fee income (noninterest income) increased by $3.2 million, or 10%, to $34.9 million compared to 3Q 2017. Excluding a $0.5 million year-over-year decrease in income resulting from the intentional surrender of BOLI policies in 1Q 2018, core fee income increased 12% compared to 3Q 2017. This organic growth demonstrates our ability to execute on our highly diversified, high-touch, fee-based strategy. These strong results represent growth across most of our businesses, and include increases of $1.9 million from credit/debit card and ATM income, and $1.2 million from investment management and fiduciary revenue, and $0.5 million from traditional banking businesses excluding BOLI income.

When compared to 2Q 2018, core fee income was flat as a $0.5 million increase from credit/debit card and ATM income was offset by a $0.5 million decrease in traditional banking revenue. The decrease in traditional banking revenue includes a $0.9 million decrease in gains on sale of SBA loans, which can be uneven.

For 3Q 2018, core fee income was 35.5% of core net revenue, compared to 35.8% for 3Q 2017, and was diversified among various sources, including traditional banking, mortgage banking, wealth management and cash logistics services (Cash Connect^®). The slight year-over-year decline was primarily due to the stronger than expected 12% increase in net interest income over the same period.

Noninterest expenses reflect strong efficiency and drive positive operating leverage

Our core efficiency ratio was 57.6% in 3Q 2018, compared to 59.6% in 2Q 2018, and 60.2% in 3Q 2017. These improvements reflect our ability to efficiently integrate our previous acquisitions, and continued economies of scale as we grow.

Core noninterest expense for 3Q 2018 was $56.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 6%, from $53.3 million in 3Q 2017. Contributing to the year-over-year increase was $1.5 million from highly variable incentive compensation as a result of stronger performance against our operating plans, $1.1 million of higher variable costs to support Cash Connect^® revenue growth, and a strategic $0.8 million increase in marketing costs primarily to support brand and growth initiatives in the southeastern Pennsylvania market. Offsetting these increases was a $0.5 million decrease in loan workout and OREO expense due primarily to higher gains on OREO sales during the quarter.

When compared to 2Q 2018, core noninterest expense decreased $0.8 million, or 1%. Contributing to the quarter-over-quarter decrease was $0.7 million of lower loan workout and OREO expense due primarily to higher gains on OREO sales during the quarter and $0.3 million of lower other operating costs, including occupancy and professional fees. These decreases were offset somewhat by $0.4 million of the aforementioned higher marketing costs mostly associated with our planned marketing initiatives in the southeastern Pennsylvania market.

Income taxes

We recorded a $9.9 million income tax provision in 3Q 2018, compared to provisions of $6.9 million in 2Q 2018 and $10.9 million in 3Q 2017.

The effective tax rate was 20.3% in 3Q 2018, 19.4% in 2Q 2018, and 34.7% in 3Q 2017. The slightly higher tax rate in 3Q 2018 compared to 2Q 2018 resulted primarily from lower benefits realized from stock-based compensation activity and higher non-deductible corporate development costs during the quarter. The lower tax rates in 2018 compared with 2017 primarily reflects the reduction of the corporate federal tax rate resulting from the tax law change beginning in 1Q 2018.

Selected Business Segments (included in previous results):

Wealth Management segment fee revenue grows 13% over the prior year

The Wealth Management segment provides a broad array of planning and advisory services, investment management, trust services, and credit and deposit products to individual, corporate, and institutional clients through multiple integrated businesses. Combined, these businesses had $19.7 billion in assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) as of September 30, 2018.  

Total Wealth Management revenue (net interest income, fiduciary fees and other fee income) was $14.0 million for 3Q 2018. This represented an increase of $1.4 million, or 11%, compared to 3Q 2017 and a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2018. The year-over-year increase resulted primarily from a $1.2 million, or 13%, increase in fee revenue, which reflected continued organic growth across our business lines, with particular strength in the capital markets and corporatetrust services businesses. Fee revenue growth was partially offset by a decline in net interest income resulting from increased intercompany funding costs. When compared to 2Q 2018, revenue declined primarily as a result of seasonally higher revenue related to tax preparation fees during the second quarter of 2018.

Total noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations and provision for loan losses and credit costs) was $0.8 million in 3Q 2018, a decrease of $7.7 million compared to 3Q 2017and a decrease of $8.3 million compared to 2Q 2018. Noninterest expense in 3Q 2018 includes the $7.9 million insurance recovery previously disclosed. Excluding this recovery, non-interest expense increased $0.2 million year-over-year, primarily due to higher compensation and benefits costs to support overall growth, partially offset by lower professional fees, which can be uneven. Compared to 2Q 2018, excluding the insurance recovery, noninterest expense decreased $0.4 million primarily due to lower provision for loan losses. 

Pre-tax income in 3Q 2018 was $13.2 million, including the insurance recovery discussed above. Excluding the insurance recovery, pre-tax income was $5.2 million compared to $5.1 million in 2Q 2018 and $4.1 million in 3Q 2017 and was driven by the above mentioned factors.

Cash Connect^® net revenue increases 8% over same quarter in 2017

Cash Connect^® is a premier provider of ATM vault cash and smart safe cash logistics services in the United States. Cash Connect^® services approximately 26,500 non-bank ATMs and retail safes nationwide with approximately $960 million in cash and other fee-based services. Cash Connect^® also operates 443ATMs for WSFS Bank, which has the largest branded ATM network in Delaware.

Our Cash Connect^® division recorded $10.3 million of net revenue (fee income less funding costs) in 3Q 2018, an increase of $0.8 million, or 8%, from 3Q 2017, primarily due to continued growth in the bailment, cash management and smart safe lines of business, partially offset by higher funding costs. Compared to 2Q 2018, net revenue increased $0.3 million, or 3% (not annualized), due to higher cash balances, increased ATM managed services, and smart safe fee income.

Noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations of expense) was $8.8 millionin 3Q 2018, an increase of $1.2 million compared to 3Q 2017 and an increase of $0.2 million compared to 2Q 2018. The year-over-year increase in expenses was primarily due to higher operating costs associated with growth, higher funding costs, and investment in enhancing our smart safe technology platform. Cash Connect^® reported pre-tax income of $1.6 million for 3Q 2018, which was a decrease of $0.4 million, from 3Q 2017 and an increase of $0.1 million compared to 2Q 2018 because of organic growth and partially offset by tighter margins.

During 2018, Cash Connect^® has been impacted by rising interest rates that have challenged its customers' profitability and created margin compression for the ATM industry.  Cash Connect is focused on optimizing its cash and customers' cash balances to maximize efficiency. Cash Connect continues to build its presence in the strategic and fast growing remote cash capture (smart safe, recycler, and kiosk) space, with approximately 2,000devices currently under service and a strong pipeline driven by several national channel partners.

(o) The Company uses non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial information in its analysis of the Company’s performance. 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. For a reconciliation of these measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see pages 20 and 21 of this press release.
