CEO Commentary
Rodger Levenson, Chairman, President and CEO, said, "Our fourth quarter operating results reflect the continued optimization of the significant franchise investments leveraging our unique competitive market positioning and diverse business mix. Core EPS(3) of $1.15 and core ROA(3) of 1.36% were driven by growth in deposits and loans as well as record core fee revenue.
"During the quarter, we also realized the benefits of our consumer partnership strategy and recognized a gain from our equity in Spring EQ. A portion of these proceeds were allocated to a contribution of $2.0 million to the WSFS CARES Foundation. We continue to invest in the success of our local communities, consistent with our strategy of “Engaged Associates, living our culture, enriching the Communities we serve."
"We enter 2024 with momentum and a continued focus on franchise growth and capitalizing on the opportunities in our market. I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to our over 2,200 Associates for a highly successful 2023 as they continue to serve our Customers and deliver on our mission: "We Stand for Service."

Notable Items in the Quarter (all excluded from core results):
•Recorded a $9.5 million gain from our investment in Spring EQ, a digital home equity origination platform, reflecting the strength of our partnership strategy. Through our partnership with Spring EQ, we continue to grow our consumer loan portfolio.
•We contributed $2.0 million (pre-tax), or $0.02 per share (after-tax) to the WSFS CARES Foundation to enhance community support activities.
•Recorded an income tax charge of $7.1 million from our decision to surrender $65.5 million of previously acquired Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policies. This resulted from recent changes in the interest rate environment lowering our yields on these long-term assets and the termination of a stable value protection wrap policy. We expect to deploy the net proceeds from the surrender into higher yielding interest-earning assets or payoff wholesale funding.
•Recorded a $5.1 million expense for the FDIC Special Assessment charged to recover losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund related to the closures of certain banks in 2023.

At December 31, 2023, WSFS’ gross loan and lease portfolio increased 83.5 million, or 1% (3% annualized), when compared with September 30, 2023 due to increases of $155.5 million in commercial mortgage, $55.1 million in consumer loans, primarily from Spring EQ home equity loans, and $17.9 million in commercial small business leases, partially offset by a decrease of $146.5 million in C&I as strong originations were outpaced by elevated payoffs and paydowns.
In line with our 2022-2024 Strategic Plan, the C&I portfolio (including owner-occupied real estate) continued to be our largest portfolio at 35% of net loans and leases. Additionally, our total commercial loan and lease portfolio continues to represent a majority of our lending portfolio at 78% of net loans and leases.
Gross loans and leases at December 31, 2023 increased $843.8 million, or 7%, when compared with December 31, 2022. The increase was driven by increases of $450.1 million in commercial mortgage, $201.2 million in consumer loans, primarily from Spring EQ, $100.9 million in residential mortgage, $64.6 million in commercial small business leases, and $35.5 million in C&I.

See “Notes”
Overall asset quality metrics remained stable and reflect continued credit normalization from prior favorable levels. Problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ACL ratio of 23.44% is flat from September 30, 2023. Delinquencies decreased $8.9 million, or 7bps of gross loans, to $101.9 million, or 80bps, compared to September 30, 2023. Nonperforming assets increased $18.0 million, or 8bps of total assets, compared to September 30, 2023.
Net charge-offs were $14.7 million, or 0.46% (annualized) of average gross loans during the quarter, essentially flat compared to September 30, 2023. Approximately 70% of these charge-offs can be attributed to the Upstart (unsecured consumer loans) and NewLane (commercial small business leasing) portfolios, while the remaining portfolios experienced a decrease in net charge-offs compared to the prior quarter.
Total net credit costs were $25.4 million in the quarter compared to $18.2 million in 3Q 2023. The ACL was $186.1 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $10.1 million from September 30, 2023. The ACL coverage ratio was 1.35%, an increase of 7bps from September 30, 2023. The increases in net credit costs and ACL from the prior quarter were primarily due to higher provision on our NewLane, Upstart and CRE-office portfolios.

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

Core Fee Revenue
Fee business, including Wealth Management, Cash Connect®, capital markets and mortgage banking, continue to perform strongly and reflect the investments that have been made to grow our fee businesses. Core fee revenue (noninterest income) increased $4.6 million, or 6% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2023 to a record of $78.0 million, driven by increases of $2.5 million across all Wealth and Trust business lines and $1.8 million in Cash Connect® driven by ATM vault cash units added during the quarter.
Core fee revenue increased $12.5 million, or 19%, compared to 4Q 2022. The increase was primarily driven by $5.0 million from Cash Connect® due to the addition of ATM vault cash units and the higher rate environment, $5.0 million from Wealth and Trust driven by account growth in Institutional Services and the Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware (BMT-DE) and increases in Assets Under Management (AUM) in Private Wealth Management, and $1.6 million from capital markets.
For 4Q 2023, our core fee revenue ratio(7) was 30.4% compared to 28.6% in 3Q 2023 and 25.2% in 4Q 2022. Fee revenue is a competitive differentiator providing a well-diversified source of revenue with further growth opportunities expected across all sources.









(7) As used in this press release, core fee revenue ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments. For a reconciliation of this and other non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of the press release.

Core Noninterest Expense(8)
Core noninterest expense of $139.8 million increased $0.2 million, or less than 1% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2023. The increase was primarily due to $2.6 million in occupancy expenses, $1.4 million in professional fees, and $1.3 million in other miscellaneous expenses. The increase was partially offset by a $4.9 million decrease in salaries and benefits mainly due to a reduction in incentive accruals as well as a one-time reduction of liabilities associated with certain employee benefit plans due to changes in estimates.
Core noninterest expense increased $7.6 million, or 6%, compared to 4Q 2022. The increase was primarily due to $4.5 million from Cash Connect® driven by higher funding costs from the rising interest rate environment, $1.6 million in uninsured losses, $1.6 million in occupancy expenses, and $1.2 million in FDIC expenses (excluding the special assessment), partially offset by a decrease of $3.0 million in salaries and benefits primarily due to the reasons noted above.
Our core efficiency ratio(8) was 54.5% in 4Q 2023, compared to 54.4% in 3Q 2023 and 50.8% in 4Q 2022.
Income Taxes
We recorded a $29.4 million income tax provision in 4Q 2023, compared to $22.9 million in 3Q 2023 and $28.0 million in 4Q 2022.
The effective tax rate was 31.6% in 4Q 2023 compared to 23.6% in 3Q 2023 and 24.9% in 4Q 2022. The increase in effective tax rate for 4Q 2023 compared to 3Q 2023 and 4Q 2022 was primarily driven by the surrender of BOLI policies during the quarter. We recorded $7.1 million of tax expense related to the surrender. Excluding this charge, our 4Q 2023 tax rate was 24.0%.




(8) As used in this press release, core noninterest expense and core efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of the press release.

WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity increased $234.8 million, or 10% (not annualized), during 4Q 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $186.7 million driven by market-value increases on investment securities, quarterly earnings of $63.9 million and was partially offset by capital returns of $18.6 million to stockholders, comprising $9.5 million from share repurchases and $9.1 million from quarterly dividends.
WSFS’ tangible common equity(9) increased $238.8 million, or 19% (not annualized), compared to September 30, 2023. WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio was 12.03% at December 31, 2023, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio(9) increased by 103bps during the quarter to 7.52%, primarily due to the reasons described above.
At December 31, 2023, book value per share was $40.93, an increase of $4.00, or 11% (not annualized), from September 30, 2023, and tangible common book value per share(9) was $24.33, an increase of $4.00, or 20% (not annualized), from September 30, 2023.
During 4Q 2023, WSFS repurchased 241,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $9.5 million. As of December 31, 2023, WSFS has 5,341,593 shares, or approximately 9% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under its current authorizations. For the year, total capital returned to stockholder through share repurchases and quarterly dividends was $88.5 million.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on February 23, 2024 to stockholders of record as of February 9, 2024.

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude goodwill and intangible assets and the related tax-effected amortization.

Cash Connect® net revenue increased $1.0 million from 3Q 2023 driven by ATM vault cash units added during the quarter, partially offset by $0.5 million higher noninterest expense due to higher external funding expense. Pre-tax income increased $0.5 million compared to 3Q 2023, driven by higher ATM vault cash volume. ROA increased 30bps to 1.17% compared to 3Q 2023 due to higher net income.
Net Revenue increased $5.1 million and noninterest expense increased $4.7 million compared to 4Q 2022 due to the added units described above and the higher rate environment. Pre-tax income increased $0.4 million compared to 4Q 2022. ROA increased 52bps to 1.17% compared to 4Q 2022 with higher pre-tax income and funding source optimization.
During 4Q 2023, Cash Connect® added 7,638 serviced non-bank ATMs as a result of a large industry participant exiting their ATM cash vault business. Cash Connect® is targeting additional unit growth and positive earnings impact in 2024 as a result of the exit of a large player in the cash logistics business. The additional ATMs contributed to 9% fee revenue growth and higher pre-tax net income compared to 3Q 2023. Cash Connect ended 2023 with approximately $1.9 billion in managed cash.

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; 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; 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 the Company's operations, the credit risk associated with the substantial amount of commercial real estate, construction and land development, and commercial and industrial 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 discontinued publication of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the continued transition to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the replacement reference interest rate; the success of the Company's growth plans, including its plans to grow the commercial small business leasing, residential, small business and Small Business Administration (SBA) portfolios and wealth management business; 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; failure of the financial and/or operational controls of the Company's Cash Connect® and/or Wealth Management divisions; 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 problems encountered by other financial institutions that adversely affect the Company or the banking industry generally; 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); possible changes in the speed of loan prepayments by the Company's Customers and loan origination or sales volumes; possible changes in 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 interaction of the risks discussed above; and other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023 and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
