FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and exhibits hereto, 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 risks and uncertainties (which change over time) and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

•difficult market conditions and unfavorable economic trends in the United States generally and in financial markets, particularly in the markets in which the Company operates and in which its loans are concentrated, including difficult and unfavorable conditions and trends related to housing markets, costs of living, unemployment levels, interest rates, supply chain issues, inflation, and economic growth;

•the impacts related to or resulting from bank failures and other economic and industry volatility, including potential increased regulatory requirements and costs and potential impacts to macroeconomic conditions;

•changes in market interest rates, which may increase funding costs and reduce earning asset yields and thus reduce margin;

•the impact of changes in interest rates and the credit quality and strength of underlying collateral and the effect of such changes on the market value of the Company’s investment securities portfolio, which could impact market confidence in our operations;

•possible additional loan losses and impairment of the collectability of loans;

•the Company’s level of nonperforming assets and the costs associated with resolving problem loans including litigation and other costs and complying with government-imposed foreclosure moratoriums;

•the credit risk associated with the substantial amount of commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and construction and land development loans in the Company's loan portfolio;

•the extensive federal and state regulation, supervision and examination governing almost every aspect of the Company’s operations, and potential expenses associated with complying with such regulations;

•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;

•any impairments of the Company's goodwill or other intangible assets;

•the success of the Company's growth plans;

•failure of the financial and/or operational controls of the Company’s Cash Connect® and/or Wealth Management segments;

•the Company’s ability to successfully integrate and fully realize the cost savings and other benefits of its acquisitions, manage risks related to business disruption following those acquisitions, and post-acquisition Customer acceptance of the Company’s products and services and related Customer disintermediation;

•negative perceptions or publicity with respect to the Company generally and, in particular, the Company’s trust and wealth management business;

•adverse judgments or other resolution of pending and future legal proceedings, and cost incurred in defending such proceedings;

•the Company's reliance on third parties for certain important functions, including the operation of its core systems, and any failures by such third parties;

•system failures or cybersecurity incidents or other breaches of the Company’s network security, particularly given remote working arrangements;

•the Company’s ability to recruit and retain key Associates;

•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);

3

•possible changes in the speed of loan prepayments by the Company’s Customers and loan origination or sales volumes;

•possible changes in market valuations and/or 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;

•any compounding effects or unexpected interactions of the risks discussed above; and

•other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed herein under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from time to time.

The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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.

Basis of Presentation

In preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Amounts subject to significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses (including loans and leases held for investment, investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity), loans held for sale, lending-related commitments, goodwill, intangible assets, post-retirement benefit obligations, the fair value of financial instruments, and income taxes. Among other effects, changes to these estimates could result in future impairments of investment securities, goodwill and intangible assets, the establishment of additional allowance and lending-related commitment reserves, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, as well as increased post-retirement benefits and income tax expense.

The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (GAAP), prevailing practices within the banking industry for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X (Rule 10-01). Rule 10-01 does not require us to include all information and notes that would be required in audited financial statements. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited, interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K) that was filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024 and is available at www.sec.gov or on the website at www.wsfsbank.com.

3. NONINTEREST INCOME

Credit/debit card and ATM income

The following table presents the components of credit/debit card and ATM income:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Bailment fees	$	18,819	$	9,385	$	33,783	$	18,069
Interchange fees	3,971		3,993		7,724		7,879
Other card and ATM fees	1,085		1,052		2,037		1,843
Total credit/debit card and ATM income	$	23,875	$	14,430	$	43,544	$	27,791

Credit/debit card and ATM income is composed of bailment fees, interchange fees, and other card and ATM fees. Bailment fees are earned from bailment arrangements with customers. Bailment arrangements are legal relationships in which property is delivered to another party without a transfer of ownership. The party who transferred the property (the bailor) retains ownership interest of the property. In the event that the bailee files for bankruptcy protection, the property is not included in the bailee's assets. The bailee pays an agreed-upon fee for the use of the bailor's property in exchange for the bailor allowing use of the assets at the bailee's site. Bailment fees are earned from cash that is made available for customers' use at an offsite location, such as cash located in an ATM at a customer's place of business. These fees are typically indexed to a market interest rate. This revenue stream generates fee income through monthly billing for bailment services.

Credit/debit card and ATM income also includes interchange fees. Interchange fees are paid by a merchant's bank to a bank that issued a debit or credit card used in a transaction to compensate the issuing bank for the value and benefit the merchant receives from accepting electronic payments. These revenue streams generate fee income at the time a transaction occurs and are recorded as revenue at the time of the transaction.

Investment management and fiduciary income

The following table presents the components of investment management and fiduciary income:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Trust fees	$	26,143	$	21,936	$	48,004	$	42,452
Wealth management and advisory fees	11,463		10,443		22,530		20,403
Total investment management and fiduciary income	$	37,606	$	32,379	$	70,534	$	62,855

Investment management and fiduciary income is composed of trust fees and wealth management and advisory fees. Trust fees are based on revenue earned from custody, escrow, trustee and trustee related services on structured finance transactions; indenture trustee, administrative agent and collateral agent services to individuals, institutions and corporations; commercial domicile and independent director services; and investment and trustee services to families and individuals. Most fees are flat fees, except for a portion of personal and corporate trustee fees where the Company earns a percentage on the assets under management or assets held within a trust. This revenue stream primarily generates fee income through monthly, quarterly and annual billings for services provided.

Wealth management and advisory fees consists of fees from Bryn Mawr Trust (excluding BMT-DE), BMCM, Powdermill®, and WSFS Wealth® Investments. Wealth management and advisory fees are based on revenue earned from services including asset management, financial planning, family office, and brokerage. The fees are based on the market value of assets, are assessed as a flat fee, or are brokerage commissions. This revenue stream primarily generates fee income through monthly, quarterly and annual billings for the services.

14

Deposit service charges

The following table presents the components of deposit service charges:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Service fees	$	4,522	$	4,315	$	8,884	$	8,451
Return and overdraft fees	1,648		1,720		3,448		3,367
Other deposit service fees	326		242		651		498
Total deposit service charges	$	6,496	$	6,277	$	12,983	$	12,316

Deposit service charges includes revenue earned from core deposit products, certificates of deposit, and brokered deposits. The Company generates fee revenues from deposit service charges primarily through service charges and overdraft fees. Service charges consist primarily of monthly account maintenance fees, treasury management fees, foreign ATM fees and other maintenance fees. All of these revenue streams generate fee income through service charges for monthly account maintenance and similar items, transfer fees, late fees, overlimit fees, and stop payment fees. Revenue is recorded at the time of the transaction.

Other income

The following table presents the components of other income:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Managed service fees	$	5,861	$	5,216	$	11,447	$	10,015
Currency preparation	1,924		1,342		3,599		2,624
ATM loss protection	884		647		1,743		1,295
Capital markets revenue	3,378		1,710		6,379		4,589
Miscellaneous products and services	4,728		1,616		6,010		1,259
Total other income	$	16,775	$	10,531	$	29,178	$	19,782

Other income consists of managed service fees, which are primarily courier fees related to treasury management and are partially offset in noninterest expense, currency preparation, ATM loss protection, capital markets revenue, and other miscellaneous products and services offered by the Bank. These fees are primarily generated through monthly billings or at the time of the transaction. Capital markets revenue consists of fees related to interest rate swaps, risk participation agreements, foreign exchange contracts, letters of credit, and trade finance products and services offered by the Bank.

Arrangements with multiple performance obligations

The Company's contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers.

Practical expedients and exemptions

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

See Note 14 for further information about the disaggregation of noninterest income by segment.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Numerator:
Net income attributable to WSFS	$	69,273	$	68,678	$	135,034	$	131,082
Denominator:
Weighted average basic shares	59,833		61,348		60,093		61,429
Dilutive potential common shares	126		66		144		97
Weighted average fully diluted shares	59,959		61,414		$	60,237	$	61,526
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	1.16	$	1.12	$	2.25	$	2.13
Diluted	$	1.16	$	1.12	$	2.24	$	2.13
Outstanding common stock equivalents having no dilutive effect	3		98		2		22

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing Net income attributable to WSFS by the weighted-average basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing Net income attributable to WSFS by the weighted-average fully diluted shares outstanding, using the treasury stock method. Fully diluted shares include the adjustment for the dilutive effect of common stock awards, which include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units under the 2013 Incentive Plan and the 2018 Incentive Plan and performance stock units under the 2018 Incentive Plan.

(1)Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities.

MBS may have expected maturities that differ from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because issuers may have the right to call securities and borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalty. The estimated weighted average duration of MBS was 5.7 years at June 30, 2024.

The held-to-maturity debt securities are not collateral-dependent securities as these are general obligation bonds issued by cities, states, counties, or other local and foreign governments.

Investment securities with fair market values aggregating $2.9 billion and $3.3 billion were pledged as collateral for investment sweep repurchase agreements, municipal deposits, and other obligations as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no sales of debt securities categorized as available-for-sale.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's debt securities portfolio had remaining unamortized premiums of $52.4 million and $56.9 million, respectively, and unaccreted discounts of $19.4 million and $20.9 million, respectively.

The Company does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell these securities before it is able to recover the amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses are the result of changes in market interest rates subsequent to purchase, not credit loss, as these are highly rated agency securities with no expected credit loss, in the event of a default. As a result, there is no allowance for credit losses recorded for available-for-sale debt securities as of June 30, 2024.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, held-to-maturity debt securities had an amortized cost basis of $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. The held-to-maturity debt security portfolio primarily consists of mortgage-backed securities which were issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies and highly rated municipal bonds. The Company monitors credit quality of its non-government and non-agency securities through credit ratings. The following table summarizes the amortized cost of debt securities held-to-maturity as of June 30, 2024, aggregated by credit quality indicator:

(Dollars in thousands)	FNMA MBS		State and political subdivisions

Credit Quality Indicators

Below is a description of each of the risk ratings for all commercial loans:

•Pass. These borrowers currently show no indication of deterioration or potential problems and their loans are considered fully collectible.

•Special Mention. These borrowers have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. Borrowers in this category may be experiencing adverse operating trends, for example, declining revenues or margins, high leverage, tight liquidity, or increasing inventory without increasing sales. These adverse trends can have a potential negative effect on the borrower’s repayment capacity. These assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to significant risk that would warrant a more severe rating. Borrowers in this category may also be experiencing significant management problems, pending litigation, or other structural credit weaknesses.

•Substandard or Lower. These borrowers have well-defined weaknesses that require extensive oversight by management. Borrowers in this category may exhibit one or more of the following: inadequate debt service coverage, unprofitable operations, insufficient liquidity, high leverage, and weak or inadequate capitalization. Relationships in this category are not adequately protected by the sound financial worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged on the loan, if any. A distinct possibility exists that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. In addition, some borrowers in this category could have the added characteristic that the possibility of loss is extremely high. Current circumstances in the credit relationship make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable. Such impending events include: perfecting liens on additional collateral, obtaining collateral valuations, an acquisition or liquidation preceding, proposed merger, or refinancing plan.

Residential and Consumer Loans

The residential and consumer loan portfolios are monitored on an ongoing basis using delinquency information and loan type as credit quality indicators. These credit quality indicators are assessed in the aggregate in these relatively homogeneous portfolios. Loans that are greater than 90 days past due are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status.

The following tables provide an analysis of loans by portfolio segment based on the credit quality indicators used to determine the allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2024.

Troubled Loans

The Company offers loan modifications to commercial and consumer borrowers that may result in a payment delay, interest rate reduction, term extension, principal forgiveness, or combination thereof. Loan modifications are offered on a case-by-case basis and are generally term extension, payment delay, and interest rate reduction modification types. Forbearance (due to hardship) programs result in modification types including payment delay and/or term extension. In addition, certain reorganization bankruptcy judgments may result in interest rate reduction, term extension, or principal forgiveness modification types.

The following tables show the period-end amortized cost basis of troubled loans modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, disaggregated by portfolio segment and type of modification granted:

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had commitments to extend credit of $31.8 million and $18.4 million, respectively, to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose terms had been modified.

Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

The following table shows the amortized cost of loans that received a modification that had a payment default during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and were modified in the 12 months before default to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. There were no loans that received a modification that had a payment default during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and were modified in the 12 months before default to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. There were $0.9 million of C&I loans that received a term extension modification that had a payment default during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and were modified in the 12 months before default to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

8. LEASES

As a lessee, the Company enters into leases for its bank branches, corporate offices, and certain equipment. As a lessor, the Company primarily provides financing through its equipment leasing business.

Lessee

The Company's ongoing leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 21 years, which includes renewal options that are exercised at its discretion. The Company's lease terms to calculate the lease liability and right-of-use asset include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The lease liability and right-of-use asset is included in Other liabilities and Other assets, respectively, in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expense is included in Occupancy expense in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company accounts for lease components separately from nonlease components. The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties.

9. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) and ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and other intangibles are recorded at fair value as of acquisition date.

WSFS performs its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In between annual tests, management performs a qualitative review of goodwill quarterly as part of the Company's review of the overall business to ensure no events or circumstances have occurred that would impact its goodwill evaluation. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, management determined based on its qualitative assessment that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values, and no goodwill impairment existed during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table shows the allocation of goodwill to the reportable operating segments for purposes of goodwill impairment testing:

(Dollars in thousands)	WSFS Bank		Wealth Management		Consolidated Company
December 31, 2023	$	753,586	$	132,312	$	885,898
Goodwill adjustments	—		—		—
June 30, 2024	$	753,586	$	132,312	$	885,898

ASC 350 requires that an acquired intangible asset be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer’s intent to do so. The following table summarizes the Company's intangible assets:

Servicing Assets

The Company records mortgage servicing rights on its mortgage loan servicing portfolio, which includes mortgages that it acquires or originates as well as mortgages that it services for others, and servicing rights on Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. Mortgage servicing rights and SBA loan servicing rights are included in Goodwill and intangible assets in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Mortgage loans which the Company services for others are not included in Loans and leases, net of allowance in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Servicing rights represent the present value of the future net servicing fees from servicing mortgage loans the Company acquires or originates, or that it services for others.

The value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights was $1.6 million and $1.7 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and the value of its SBA loan servicing rights was $3.9 million and $4.3 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Changes in the value of the Company's servicing rights resulted in impairment losses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and impairment losses of $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Revenues from originating, marketing and servicing mortgage loans as well as valuation adjustments related to capitalized mortgage servicing rights are included in Mortgage banking activities, net in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and revenues from the Company's SBA loan servicing rights are included in Loan and lease fee income in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

Besides the impairment on loan servicing rights noted above, there was no impairment of other intangible assets as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

12. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820-10) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

•Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

•Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

•Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

35

The following tables present financial instruments carried at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 by level in the valuation hierarchy (as described above):

36

Fair value is based on quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on internally developed models or obtained from third parties that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include unobservable parameters. The Company's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes its valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Available-for-sale securities

Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The Company believes that this Level 2 designation is appropriate under ASC 820-10, as these securities are GSEs and GNMA securities with almost all fixed income securities, none are exchange traded, and all are priced by correlation to observed market data. For these securities the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, U.S. government and agency yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other factors.

Other investments

Other investments includes equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which are categorized as Level 3. The Company’s equity investments without readily determinable fair values are held at cost, and are adjusted for any observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer during the reporting period.

Other real estate owned

Other real estate owned consists of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure or other measures. Initially, foreclosed assets are recorded at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically and the assets may be marked down further, reflecting a new cost basis. The fair value of other real estate owned was estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals obtained from third parties.

Loans held for sale

The fair value of loans held for sale is based on estimates using Level 2 inputs. These inputs are based on pricing information obtained from wholesale mortgage banks and brokers and applied to loans with similar interest rates and maturities.

Other assets

Other assets include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, and risk participation agreements. Valuation of interest rate products is obtained from an independent pricing service and also from the derivative counterparty. Valuation of the derivative related to the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline is based on valuation of the loans held for sale portfolio as described above in Loans held for sale. Valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts and risk participation agreements are obtained from an independent pricing service.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, risk participation agreements, and derivative related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares. Valuation of interest rate products is obtained from an independent pricing service and also from the derivative counterparty. Valuation of the derivative related to the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline is based on valuation of the loans held for sale portfolio as described above in Loans held for sale. Valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts and risk participation agreements are obtained from an independent pricing service. Valuation of the derivative related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares is based on: (i) the agreed upon graduated fee structure; (ii) the length of time until the resolution of the Visa covered litigation; and (iii) the estimated impact of dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B shares resulting from changes in the Visa covered litigation.

37

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The reported fair values of financial instruments are based on a variety of factors. In certain cases, fair values represent quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments. In other cases, fair values have been estimated based on assumptions regarding the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows that are discounted to reflect current market rates and varying degrees of risk. Accordingly, the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of period-end or that will be realized in the future.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash

For cash and short-term investment securities, including due from banks, federal funds sold or purchased under agreements to resell and interest-bearing deposits with other banks, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities

Investment securities include debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Fair value is estimated using quoted prices for similar securities, which the Company obtains from a third party vendor. The Company uses one of the largest providers of securities pricing to the industry and management periodically assesses the inputs used by this vendor to price the various types of securities owned by the Company to validate the vendor’s methodology as described above in available-for-sale securities.

Other investments

Other investments includes equity investments without readily determinable fair values (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above) as well as equity method investments.

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are carried at their fair value (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above).

Loans and leases

Loans and leases are segregated by portfolio segments with similar financial characteristics. The fair values of loans and leases, with the exception of reverse mortgages, are estimated by discounting expected cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with comparable credit ratings and for similar remaining maturities. The fair values of reverse mortgages are based on the net present value of the expected cash flows using a discount rate specific to the reverse mortgages portfolio. The fair value of nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals of the underlying collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Estimated cash flows, discounted using a rate commensurate with current rates and the risk associated with the estimated cash flows, are used if appraisals are not available. This technique does contemplate an exit price.

Stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh

The fair value of FHLB stock is assumed to be equal to its cost basis, since the stock is non-marketable but redeemable at its par value.

Accrued interest receivable

The carrying amounts of interest receivable approximate fair value.

Other assets

Other assets include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, and risk participation agreements (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above).

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, money market and interest-bearing demand deposits, is assumed to be equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using rates currently offered for deposits with comparable remaining maturities.

38

Borrowed funds

Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.

Off-balance sheet instruments

The fair value of off-balance sheet instruments, including swap guarantees of $6.5 million at June 30, 2024 and $7.3 million at December 31, 2023, respectively, and standby letters of credit, approximates the recorded net deferred fee amounts. Because letters of credit are generally not assignable by either the Company or the borrower, they only have value to the Company and the borrower. In determining the fair value of the swap guarantees, the Company assesses the underlying credit risk exposure for each borrower in a paying position to the third-party financial institution.

Accrued interest payable

The carrying amounts of interest payable approximate fair value.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, risk participation agreements, and derivative related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above).

13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both economic conditions and its business operations. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments:

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate options, including floors, caps, collars, or swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate options designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision under which, if it defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Company also has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if it fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized or adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 15 interest rate floors purchased at an aggregate premium of $23.4 million with an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion to hedge variable cash flows associated with a variable rate loan pool through the second quarter of 2027. Changes to the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecast transaction affects earnings. If the Company determines that a cash flow hedge is no longer highly effective, future changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument would be reported in earnings. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined the cash flow hedges remain highly effective. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of amortization expense on the premium was reclassified into interest income compared to $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company does not expect any unrealized gains or losses related to cash flow hedges to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:

Customer Derivatives – Interest Rate Swaps

The Company enters into interest rate swaps with commercial loan customers wishing to manage interest rate risk. The Company then enters into corresponding swap agreements with swap dealer counterparties to economically hedge the exposure arising from these contracts. The interest rate swaps with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) and are marked to market through earnings. As the interest rate swaps are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying benchmark interest rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by ASC 820. As of June 30, 2024, there were no fair value adjustments related to credit quality.

Derivative Financial Instruments from Mortgage Banking Activities

Derivative financial instruments related to mortgage banking activities are recorded at fair value and are not designated as accounting hedges. This includes commitments to originate certain fixed-rate residential mortgage loans to customers, also referred to as interest rate lock commitments. The Company may also enter into forward sale commitments to sell loans to investors at a fixed price at a future date and trade asset-backed securities to mitigate interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts (FX forwards) with customers to exchange one currency for another on an agreed date in the future at an agreed exchange rate. The Corporation then enters into corresponding FX forwards with swap dealer counterparties to economically hedge its exposure on the exchange rate component of the customer agreements. The FX forwards with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under ASC 815 and are marked to market through earnings. Exposure to gains and losses on these contracts increase or decrease over their respective lives as currency exchange and interest rates fluctuate. As the FX forwards are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying term structure of currency exchange rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by ASC 820. As of June 30, 2024, there were no fair value adjustments related to credit quality.

43

Risk Participation Agreements

The Company may enter into a risk participation agreement (RPA) with another institution as a means to assume a portion of the credit risk associated with a loan structure which includes a derivative instrument, in exchange for fee income commensurate with the risk assumed. This type of derivative is referred to as an “RPA sold.” In addition, in an effort to reduce the credit risk associated with an interest rate swap agreement with a borrower for whom the Corporation has provided a loan structured with a derivative, the Corporation may purchase an RPA from an institution participating in the facility in exchange for a fee commensurate with the risk shared. This type of derivative is referred to as an “RPA purchased.”

Swap Guarantees

The Company entered into agreements with one unrelated financial institution whereby that financial institution entered into interest rate derivative contracts (interest rate swap transactions) directly with customers referred to them by the Company. Under the terms of the agreements, the financial institution has recourse to us for any exposure created under each swap transaction, only in the event that the customer defaults on the swap agreement and the agreement is in a paying position to the third-party financial institution. This is a customary arrangement that allows us to provide access to interest rate swap transactions for our customers without creating the swap ourselves. These swap guarantees are accounted for as credit derivatives.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 175 and 188 variable-rate to fixed-rate swap transactions between the third-party financial institutions and the Company's customers, respectively. The initial notional aggregate amount was approximately $0.7 billion at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024, the swap transactions remaining maturities ranged from under 1 year to 11 years. At June 30, 2024, none of these customer swaps were in a paying position to third parties, with our swap guarantees having a fair value of $6.5 million. At December 31, 2023, none of these customer swaps were in a paying position to third parties, with the Company's swap guarantees having a fair value of $7.3 million. However, for both periods, none of the Company's customers were in default of the swap agreements.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision under which, if it defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties, and has posted collateral of $2.3 million in cash against its obligations under these agreements which meets or exceeds the minimum collateral posting requirements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2024, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As defined in ASC 280, Segment Reporting (ASC 280), an operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision makers to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company evaluates performance based on pretax net income relative to resources used, and allocate resources based on these results. The accounting policies applicable to the Company's segments are those that apply to its preparation of the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on these criteria, the Company has identified three segments: WSFS Bank, Cash Connect®, and Wealth Management.

The WSFS Bank segment provides financial products to commercial and consumer customers. Commercial and Consumer Banking, Commercial Real Estate Lending and other banking business units are operating departments of WSFS Bank. These departments share the same regulators, the same market, many of the same customers and provide similar products and services through the general infrastructure of the Bank. Accordingly, these departments are not considered discrete segments and are appropriately aggregated in the WSFS Bank segment.

The Company's Cash Connect® segment provides ATM vault cash, smart safe and other cash logistics services through strategic partnerships with several of the largest networks, manufacturers and service providers in the ATM industry. Cash Connect® services non-bank and WSFS-branded ATMs and smart safes nationwide. The balance sheet category Cash in non-owned ATMs includes cash from which fee income is earned through bailment arrangements with customers of Cash Connect®.

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. Bryn Mawr Trust® is our predominant Private Wealth Management brand, providing advisory, investment management and trustee services to institutions, affluent and high-net-worth individuals. Private Wealth Management, which includes Private Banking, serves high-net-worth clients and institutions by providing trustee and advisory services, financial planning, customized investment strategies, brokerage products such as annuities and customized banking services including credit and deposit products tailored to its clientele. Private Wealth Management includes businesses that operate under the bank’s charter, through a broker/dealer and as a registered investment advisor (RIA). It generates revenue through fee-only arrangements, net interest income and other fee-only services such as estate administration, trust tax planning and custody. Powdermill® is a multi-family office specializing in providing independent solutions to high-net-worth individuals, families and corporate executives through a coordinated, centralized approach.

The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware provides personal trust and fiduciary services to families and individuals across the U.S. and internationally. WSFS Institutional Services® provides trustee, agency, bankruptcy administration, custodial and commercial domicile services to institutional, corporate clients and special purpose vehicles.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Secondary Market Loan Sales

The Company typically sells newly originated residential mortgage loans in the secondary market to mortgage loan aggregators and to GSEs such as FHLMC, FNMA, and on a more limited basis, the FHLB. Loans held for sale are reflected on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value with changes in the value reflected in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. Gains and losses are recognized at the time of sale. The Company periodically retains the servicing rights on residential mortgage loans sold which results in monthly service fee income. The mortgage servicing rights are included in Goodwill and intangible assets on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Otherwise, the Company sells loans with servicing released on a nonrecourse basis. Rate-locked loan commitments that the Company intends to sell in the secondary market are accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815.

The Company does not sell loans with recourse, except for standard loan sale contract provisions covering violations of representations and warranties and, under certain circumstances, early payment default by the borrower. These are customary repurchase provisions in the secondary market for residential mortgage loan sales. These provisions may include either an indemnification from loss or the repurchase of the loans. Repurchases and losses have been rare and no provision is made for losses at the time of sale. There were two repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2024 for an aggregate of $0.5 million and one repurchase for $0.8 million during the same period in 2023.

Unfunded Lending Commitments

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses of unfunded lending commitments was $11.5 million and $12.1 million, respectively. A provision release of $0.3 million and $0.6 million was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to a provision expense of $0.4 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

16. CHANGE IN ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, as well as unrecognized prior service costs and actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit pension plans. Changes to accumulated other comprehensive loss are presented, net of tax, as a component of stockholders’ equity. Amounts that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss are recorded on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income either as a gain or loss. Changes to accumulated other comprehensive loss by component are shown, net of taxes, in the following tables for the period indicated:

17. LEGAL AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS

In accordance with the current accounting standards for loss contingencies, the Company establishes reserves for litigation-related matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Litigation claims and proceedings of all types are subject to many uncertain factors that generally cannot be predicted with assurance. In addition, the Company's defense of litigation claims may result in legal fees, which it expenses as incurred.

There were no material changes or additions to other significant pending legal or other proceedings involving the Company other than those arising out of routine operations.

•Net loans and leases held for investment increased $362.7 million, primarily due to increases of $99.1 million in commercial and industrial and $94.3 million in consumer loans primarily from Spring EQ home equity loans. Commercial mortgages increased $233.6 million with a corresponding decrease of $156.3 million in construction due to the migration of construction loans to permanent commercial mortgages. Additionally, owner-occupied commercial loans increased $54.6 million and residential mortgage loans increased $29.7 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity of WSFS increased $11.9 million between December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to $135.0 million of earnings, partially offset by $60.7 million from the repurchase of shares of common stock under our stock repurchase plan, an increase of $48.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss driven by market value decreases on available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities, and the payment of dividends on our common stock of $18.1 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on August 23, 2024 to stockholders of record as of August 9, 2024.

53

Book value per share of common stock was $42.01 at June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.08 from $40.93 at December 31, 2023. Tangible book value per share of common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $25.20 at June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.87 from $24.33 at December 31, 2023.  We believe tangible book value per common share helps management and investors better understand and assess changes from period to period in stockholders’ equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (GAAP), and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. For a reconciliation of tangible book value per common share to book value per share in accordance with GAAP, see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure to GAAP Measure."

The table below compares the Bank's and the Company’s consolidated capital position to the minimum regulatory requirements as of June 30, 2024:

	Consolidated Capital				Minimum For Capital Adequacy Purposes				To be Well-Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions

Under the prompt corrective action regime, regulators have established five capital tiers: well-capitalized, adequately-capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized, and critically under-capitalized. A depository institution’s capital tier depends on its capital levels in relation to various relevant capital measures, which include leverage and risk-based capital measures and certain other factors. Depository institutions that are not classified as well-capitalized are subject to various restrictions, which may include restrictions on capital distributions, payment of management fees, acceptance of brokered deposits and other operating activities.

Regulatory capital requirements for the Bank and the Company include a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00% of risk-weighted assets, a minimum total capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.00% of average assets. In order to avoid limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments, the Bank and the Company must maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital over each of the risk-based capital requirements. As of June 30, 2024, the Bank and the Company were in compliance with the regulatory capital requirements and met or exceeded the amounts required to be considered “well-capitalized” as defined in the regulations.

Not included in the Bank’s capital, WSFS separately held $330.5 million in cash to support share repurchases, potential dividends, acquisitions, strategic growth plans and other general corporate purposes.

54

Liquidity

We manage our liquidity and funding needs through our Treasury function and our Asset/Liability Committee. We have a policy that separately addresses liquidity, and management monitors our adherence to policy limits. Also, liquidity risk management is a primary area of examination by the banking regulators.

Funding sources to support growth and meet our liquidity needs include cash from operations, commercial, consumer, wealth and trust deposits, loan repayments, FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and access to the brokered deposit market as well as other wholesale funding avenues. In addition, we have a large portfolio of high-quality, liquid investments, primarily short-duration mortgage-backed securities, that provide a near-continuous source of cash flow to meet current cash needs, or can be sold to meet larger discrete needs for cash. We believe these sources are sufficient to meet our funding needs as well as maintain required and prudent levels of liquidity over the next twelve months and beyond.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. As of June 30, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits were $6.0 billion, or 37% of total customer deposits, and our estimated unprotected deposits (uninsured and uncollateralized) were $5.2 billion, or 32% of total customer deposits.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a readily available, secured borrowing capacity of $5.3 billion from the FHLB and $1.8 billion through the Federal Reserve Discount Window. In addition, the Company had $1.7 billion in unpledged securities that could be used to support additional borrowings and $0.4 billion of cash deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank.

Our primary cash contractual obligations relate to operating leases, long-term debt, credit obligations, and data processing. At June 30, 2024, we had $224.7 million in total contractual payments for ongoing leases that have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 21 years, which includes renewal options that are exercised at our discretion. For additional information on our operating leases, see Note 8 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. At June 30, 2024, we had obligations for principal payments on long-term debt including $67.0 million for our trust preferred borrowings, due June 1, 2035, $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2027, and $150.0 million for our senior debt, due December 15, 2030. At June 30, 2024, we had advances of $800 million under the BTFP, due January 2025. Royal Bancshares Capital Trust I (Trust I) and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II (Trust II) (collectively, the RBC Trusts), which were acquired from Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation, were utilized for the sole purpose of issuing and selling capital securities representing preferred beneficial interests. Although WSFS owns an aggregate of $0.8 million of the common securities of Trust I and Trust II, the RBC Trusts are not consolidated into the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Inclusive of the fair value marks, WSFS assumed junior subordinated debentures owed to the RBC Trusts with a current carrying value of $11.9 million each, totaling $23.7 million. The Company records its investments in the RBC Trusts’ common securities of $0.4 million each as investments in unconsolidated entities and records dividend income upon declaration by Trust I and Trust II. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of the RBC Trusts, including any distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the capital securities. We are also contractually obligated to make interest payments on our long-term debt through their respective maturities.

Commitments to extend credit provide for financing on predetermined terms as long as the customer continues to meet specific criteria. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At June 30, 2024, the Company had total commitments to extend credit of $4.0 billion, which are generally one year commitments.

55

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming assets include nonaccruing loans, OREO and restructured loans. Nonaccruing loans are those on which we no longer accrue interest. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status immediately if, in the opinion of management, collection is doubtful, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the value of the collateral is insufficient to cover principal and interest. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed and charged against interest income. In addition, the amortization of net deferred loan fees is suspended when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Subsequent cash receipts are applied either to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of principal and interest. Past due loans are defined as loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but which remain in accrual status because they are considered well secured and in the process of collection.

The following table shows our nonperforming assets and past due loans at the dates indicated:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2024			December 31, 2023

(6)Excludes acquired PCD loans.

Nonperforming assets decreased $10.4 million between December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by favorable resolutions and paydowns of multiple loans during the year and a charge-off on a commercial mortgage relationship. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased from 0.37% at December 31, 2023 to 0.32% at June 30, 2024.

The following table summarizes the changes in nonperforming assets during the periods indicated:

Ending balance	$	65,376	$	33,530

(1)Includes impact of ASU No. 2022-02 adoption in 2023.

The timely identification of problem loans is a key element in our strategy to manage our loan portfolio. Problem loans are all criticized, classified and nonperforming loans and other real estate owned. Timely identification enables us to take appropriate action and accordingly, minimize losses. An asset review system established to monitor the asset quality of our loans and investments in real estate portfolios facilitates the identification of problem assets. In general, this system uses guidelines established by federal regulation.

57

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Our primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital, while maximizing the yield/cost spread on our asset/liability structure. Interest rates are partly a function of decisions by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) on the target range for the federal funds rate, and these decisions are sometimes difficult to anticipate. The FOMC raised the federal funds target rate four times in 2023 for a total of 100 basis points and has suggested it may lower interest rates in 2024. In order to manage the risks associated with changes or possible changes in interest rates, we rely primarily on our asset/liability structure.

Our primary tool for achieving our asset/liability management strategies is to match maturities or repricing periods of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities to promote a favorable interest rate spread and mitigate exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We regularly review our interest rate sensitivity and adjust the sensitivity within acceptable tolerance ranges. At June 30, 2024, interest-bearing liabilities exceeded interest-earning assets that mature or reprice within one year (interest-sensitive gap) by $62.0 million. Our interest-sensitive assets as a percentage of interest-sensitive liabilities within the one-year window was 99.32% at June 30, 2024 compared with 99.67% at December 31, 2023. Likewise, the one-year interest-sensitive gap as a percentage of total assets was (0.30)% at June 30, 2024 compared with (0.14)% at December 31, 2023.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, investing, and funding activities. To that end, we actively monitor and manage our interest rate risk exposure. One measure evaluates the impact of an immediate change in interest rates in 100 basis point increments on the economic value of equity ratio. The economic value of the equity ratio is defined as the economic value of the estimated cash flows from assets and liabilities as a percentage of economic value of cash flows from total assets.

The following table shows the estimated impact of immediate changes in interest rates on our net interest margin and economic value of equity ratio at the specified levels at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(1)The percentage difference between net interest margin in a stable interest rate environment and net interest margin as projected under the various rate change environments.

(2)The economic value of equity ratio in a stable interest rate environment and the economic value of equity ratio as projected under the various rate change environments.

We also engage in other business activities that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, mortgage banking revenues and expenses can fluctuate with changing interest rates. These fluctuations are difficult to model and estimate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2024: Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $69.3 million, compared to $68.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

•Net interest income decreased $7.4 million, primarily due to lagging increases in deposit pricing following rate hikes in 2023 and a continued shift to customer time deposits. See “Net Interest Income” for further information.

•Our provision for credit losses increased $4.0 million, primarily due to a higher provision on our commercial mortgages portfolio. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further information.

•Noninterest income increased $24.7 million, primarily due to increases in income from Cash Connect® due to additional customers added during the fourth quarter of 2023 and first half of 2024 and the higher rate environment, Wealth Management fee income, a gain on our Visa B derivative liability, post-close distributions from our investment in Spring EQ, and capital markets income. See “Noninterest Income” for further information.

•Noninterest expense increased $14.5 million, primarily due to higher salaries and benefits and Cash Connect® funding costs associated with a shift towards external funding, partially offset by decreases in net corporate development and restructuring costs, loan workout and OREO expenses, and professional fees.

•Income tax provision decreased $1.8 million, primarily due to the $1.2 million decrease in pre-tax income, the benefit from solar and other tax credit investments, and lower state income taxes.

Six months ended June 30, 2024: Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $135.0 million, compared to $131.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

•Net interest income decreased $14.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the reasons described above. See “Net Interest Income” for further information.

•Our provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $9.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to lower losses across most of our commercial loan portfolios and our consumer portfolio, partially offset by higher losses on our commercial mortgages portfolio. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further information.

•Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $37.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to increases from Cash Connect®, Wealth Management fee income, a gain on our Visa B derivative liability, capital markets income, post-close distributions from our investment in Spring EQ, and mortgage banking activities. See “Noninterest Income” for further information.

•Noninterest expense increased $30.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in Cash Connect® funding costs associated with a shift towards external funding and salaries and benefits, partially offset by decreases in net corporate development and restructuring costs, occupancy expense, and professional fees.

•Income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $1.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the benefit from solar and other tax credit investments and lower state income taxes.

Three months ended June 30, 2024: During the three months ended June 30, 2024, net interest income decreased $7.4 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to lagging deposit pricing increases following rate hikes in 2023 and a continued shift to customer time deposits. Net interest margin was 3.85% for the second quarter of 2024, a 26 basis point decrease compared to 4.11% for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was due to an unfavorable decrease of 40 basis points from the lagging deposit pricing increases mentioned above and 4 basis points from purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by an increase of 18 basis points from our balance sheet size and mix.

Six months ended June 30, 2024: During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net interest income decreased $14.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the reasons noted above. Net interest margin was 3.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a 33 basis point decrease compared to 4.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was due to a 44 basis point decrease from the lagging deposit increases noted above and a 4 basis point decrease from purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by a 15 basis point increase from our balance sheet size and mix.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level based on our assessment of estimable and expected losses in the loan portfolio. Our allowance for credit losses is based on our historical loss experience that includes the inherent risk of our loans and various other factors including but not limited to, collateral values, trends in asset quality, level of delinquent loans and concentrations. Further, regional and national economic forecasts are considered in our expected credit losses. Our evaluation is based on a review of the portfolio and requires significant, complex and difficult judgments.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $19.8 million, an increase of $4.0 million, as compared with the provision for credit losses of $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to a higher provision on our commercial mortgages portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $35.0 million, a decrease of $9.9 million, as compared with the provision for credit losses of $44.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower losses across most of our commercial loan portfolios and our consumer portfolio, partially offset by higher losses on our commercial mortgages portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses increased to $198.3 million at June 30, 2024 from $186.1 million at December 31, 2023. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases was 1.51% at June 30, 2024 and 1.46% at December 31, 2023.

Noninterest Income

Three months ended June 30, 2024: During the three months ended June 30, 2024, noninterest income was $91.6 million, an increase of $24.7 million from $66.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by $11.0 million from Cash Connect® due to the addition of customers during the fourth quarter of 2023 and first half of 2024 and the higher rate environment, $5.3 million in Wealth Management fees, a $3.4 million gain due to the reduction of our Visa B derivative liability established from our previous sale of 360,000 shares in 2Q 2020, a $2.0 million gain from post-close distributions from our investment in Spring EQ, and $1.8 million in capital markets income.

Six months ended June 30, 2024: During the six months ended June 30, 2024, noninterest income was $167.5 million, an increase of $37.5 million from $130.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by $19.2 million from Cash Connect® due to the reason mentioned above, $7.7 million in Wealth Management fees, the $3.4 million gain on our Visa B derivative liability mentioned above, $2.0 million in capital markets income, the $2.0 million gain related to Spring EQ mentioned above, and $1.4 million from mortgage banking activities.

For further information, see Note 3 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Expense

Three months ended June 30, 2024: During the three months ended June 30, 2024, noninterest expense was $155.8 million, an increase of $14.5 million from $141.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to $10.9 million from salaries and benefits costs and $9.5 million from other operating expense driven by higher funding costs from Cash Connect® due to a shift towards external funding, partially offset by decreases of $2.6 million in net corporate development and restructuring costs, $1.8 million in loan workout and OREO expenses, and $1.3 million in professional fees.

Six months ended June 30, 2024: During the six months ended June 30, 2024, noninterest expense was $304.8 million, an increase of $30.5 million from $274.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to $20.8 million in other operating expense driven by higher funding costs from Cash Connect® due to a shift towards external funding and $13.8 million in salaries and benefits, partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in net corporate development and restructuring costs, $1.7 million in occupancy expense, and $1.3 million in professional fees.

Income Taxes

We and our subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and separate state income tax returns. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recording of deferred income taxes for tax consequences of temporary differences. We recorded income tax expense of $21.3 million and $42.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $23.0 million and $44.0 million for the same periods in 2023, respectively.

Our effective tax rate was 23.5% and 23.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 25.1% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased primarily due to an increase in projected tax benefits from our low-income housing tax credit investments, solar tax credit investments made during the current quarter, as well as a reduction in state income taxes.

The effective tax rate reflects the recognition of certain tax benefits in the financial statements including those benefits from tax-exempt interest income, federal low-income housing tax credits, solar tax credits, research and development tax credits, and excess tax benefits from recognized stock compensation. These tax benefits are offset by the tax effect of stock-based compensation expense related to incentive stock options, tax deficiencies from recognized stock compensation, and a provision for state income tax expense. We frequently analyze our projections of taxable income and make adjustments to our provision for income taxes accordingly.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURE TO GAAP MEASURE

The following table provides a reconciliation of tangible book value per share of common stock to book value per share of common stock, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We believe this measure helps management and investors better understand and assess changes from period to period in stockholders’ equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

(Dollars and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Stockholders’ equity of WSFS	$	2,489,580	$	2,477,636

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We regularly evaluate these estimates and assumptions including those related to the allowance for credit losses, business combinations, deferred taxes, fair value measurements and goodwill and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These form the basis for making judgments on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Although our current estimates contemplate current economic conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, for the remainder of 2024, it is possible that actual conditions may be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting estimates at June 30, 2024 did not significantly change from our critical accounting estimates at December 31, 2023, which are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have not been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the second quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of 6,358,727 shares of common stock, or 10% of its outstanding shares as of June 30, 2022. Under the program, repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable securities laws. The program is consistent with our intent to return a minimum of 35% of annual net income to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases while maintaining capital ratios in excess of “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks.
