WSFS REPORTS 2^ND QUARTER '09 RESULTS;

MAINTAINS $0.12 QUARTERLY DIVIDEND;

ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO RAISE $25 MILLION IN COMMON EQUITY

WSFS Financial Corporation (NASDAQ/GS: WSFS), the parent company of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, reported a quarterly loss per common share of $0.50 and net loss of $2.3 million compared to diluted earnings per common share of $1.07 and net income of $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2008. For the first six months of 2009, WSFS reported net income of $624,000, but a loss of $0.10 per common share due to the effects of preferred stock dividends. This compares to net income of $13.9 million or $2.22 per diluted common share during the first six months of 2008.

There were a number of non-routine items affecting earnings during the second quarter of 2009 (discussed below in the Notable items section) totaling $3.6 million, after-tax, or $0.59 per common share compared to a reported after-tax loss of $2.3 million or a $0.50 loss per common share.

Highlights:

• Customer deposit growth remained very strong, increasing $134.9 million or 7% (29% annualized) from March 31, 2009 and $492.5 million or 33% from June 30, 2008 levels. Most of this growth was in core deposits.

• Commercial loan growth continued, increasing $27.4 million or 2% (6% annualized) from March 31, 2009 and $244.9 million or 15% from June 30, 2008. Adjusting for an “offset” loan (discussed later in this release), commercial loans grew 3% (13% annualized) from March 31, 2009 and 17% from June 30, 2008.

• WSFS net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $26.4 million, a strong $2.5 million increase from the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and a $4.0 million increase from the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The net interest margin was 3.31%, up 26 basis points (0.26%) from the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and eleven basis points (0.11%) from the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

• WSFS noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $12.7 million, a $1.6 million increase from the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and a $1.0 million increase from the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

• WSFS increased its allowance for loan losses to total gross loans to 1.63% from 1.41% as of March 31, 2009.

Notable items:

• WSFS increased its credit-related expenses, including $12.0 million in its provision for loan losses and $1.3 million in additional write-downs of assets acquired through foreclosure (REO). These increased credit-related costs reflect the effect the economic environment has had on WSFS during the quarter and include approximately:

o $6.2 million related to increased credit risk within the commercial portfolio, comprised of $3.8 million in migration to higher risk ratings and $2.4 million related to collateral depreciation, affecting loss estimates for classified loans.

o $3.8 million related to net charge-offs in the commercial loan portfolio. This is largely related to 6 residential construction and land development (RCLD) loans.

o $728,000 in additional provision for our residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolios.

o $634,000 for restructured consumer loans (TDRs). The Company continues to work with homeowners with a goal to both keep them in their homes and optimize the Bank’s returns.

o $596,000 related to continued growth in the Company’s loan portfolio.

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

o $1.3 million additional write-down on REO, primarily due to an updated appraisal on a residential construction property.

• A $622,000 positive mark-to-market adjustment on a $12.4 million par value BBB+ rated mortgage-backed security (MBS) issued in connection with a 2002 reverse mortgage securitization.

• WSFS recorded $5.7 million, pre-tax, of non-routine items affecting earnings (presented in pre-tax dollars) including:

o $1.6 million charge related to the decision to conduct an orderly wind-down of 1st Reverse Financial Services, LLC (1^st Reverse), the Company’s reverse mortgage subsidiary (discussed later);

o $1.6 million additional FDIC insurance premium, representing WSFS’ share of the special assessment, - that was levied on the banking industry;

o $1.3 million related to fraudulent wire transfer activity affecting the accounts of two of our customers and $201,000 in related expenses. WSFS is pursuing possible insurance reimbursement;

o $953,000 in expenses related to our due diligence on an acquisition prospect; discussions concerning this acquisition have been terminated by WSFS.

• During the quarter, WSFS relocated its branch in Lewes and opened new branches in Ocean View and Millsboro, further enhancing its franchise in Sussex County, Delaware.

Capital planning:

WSFS entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell 862,069 shares of common stock and to issue a warrant to purchase 129,310 shares to Peninsula Investment Partners, L.P. (Peninsula) for $25 million in cash ($29.00 per share excluding the value of the warrant). The warrant has an exercise price of $29 per share and a term of ten years. Peninsula currently owns 610,000 shares or 9.85% of WSFS’ outstanding common stock. After the sale, Peninsula will own 1,472,069 shares or 20.87% of WSFS’ outstanding common stock. Following the completion of the stock sale, WSFS will appoint Mr. R. Ted Weschler to the Board of Directors of WSFS. Mr. Weschler is managing partner of Peninsula and has been a significant owner of WSFS common

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

stock in the past, also serving on WSFS’ Board of Directors from 1992 to 2007. The stock sale is contingent on, among other things, regulatory approval by the Office of Thrift Supervision and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2009.

CEO outlook and commentary:

Mark A. Turner, President and CEO said, “Through these difficult times, our robust deposit and loan growth, along with branch expansion have demonstrated that we continue to remain a strong, growing and well-capitalized bank.”

“However, we are disappointed to report a loss for the quarter. Our loss reflects the continued pressures of a weak and declining economy on our customers, particularly those affected by the residential construction industry. We continue to recognize weakness in residential real estate development as new home sales in our market continue at very low levels and appraised values deteriorate. To a lesser, but meaningful extent, we also are impacted by negative credit trends across our portfolios as our communities are impacted by this protracted recession.”

Mr. Turner continued, “We are very pleased to strengthen our capital through a strategic private placement of our common stock. While we are well-capitalized by all regulatory measures, this additional capital will support our continued pursuit of market share growth and other opportunities that present themselves in this environment. This capital will also further strengthen WSFS’ balance sheet and support our ability to pursue the repayment of the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP) funds when the time is right. We believe the stock sale at this price to Peninsula, an organization that has conducted due diligence and knows our Company well, is a solid vote of confidence in WSFS. We also very much look forward to welcoming Mr. Weschler back to our Board. Mr. Weschler has served WSFS as a Director in the past, helping the Company build long-term shareholder value. All in all, the addition of this capital and Mr. Weschler as a significant investor and Board member further positions WSFS to thrive as we navigate through this economic cycle.”

Second Quarter 2009 Discussion of Financial Results

Net interest income improves significantly

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2009 was $26.4 million, a $2.5 million, or 10% increase from the first quarter of 2009. The net interest margin increased twenty-six basis points (0.26%) to 3.31% from the 3.05% reported in the first quarter of 2009. Net interest income increased $4.0 million and the net interest margin of 3.31% increased by eleven basis points (0.11%) from the second quarter of 2008.

The changes in net interest margin from the first quarter 2009 reflect the positive effects of improved pricing, including lower rates on deposits and wholesale funding. In addition, the funding mix has improved as deposit growth reduced more-costly wholesale funding needs. Finally, rates on commercial loans improved, increasing seventeen basis points (0.17%) during the quarter and resulting in increased yields on the loan portfolio in general.

Commercial loans continued strong growth trends

Total net loans were $2.5 billion at June 30, 2009, an increase of $12.5 million, or 1% (2% annualized) over March 31, 2009 levels. Commercial and commercial real estate (CRE) loans increased $27.4 million or 2% (6% annualized) from March 31, 2009. Quarterly growth figures in this category do not fully capture the fundamental growth as an existing $30.4 million loan was removed from loan balances, under applicable accounting standards, principally because it was secured by a WSFS certificate of deposit. Adjusting for the effects of this “offset” loan, commercial and CRE loans increased 3% (13% annualized) from March 31, 2009. Total construction and land development (CLD) loans increased $6.0 million while residential CLD loans declined by $1.0 million during the quarter.

Total net loans increased $225.5 million, or 10%, over June 30, 2008. Commercial and CRE loans increased $244.9 million, or 15% over June 30, 2008. When adjusted for the “offset” loan commercial and CRE increased by $275.3 million, or 17%. In addition, total CLD loans

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

decreased $6.0 million, or 3% from June 30, 2008 to $233.0 million or 9.1% of the loan portfolio. This included a decrease in RCLD loans by $19.0 million to $135.0 million or 5.3% of the loan portfolio.

The following table summarizes the current loan balances and composition compared to prior periods.

	At					At					At
(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2009					March 31, 2009					June 30, 2008

Loan quality

Results for the Company reflect the impact of continuing economic weakness on our markets, customers and resulting loan quality. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2009 were $6.2 million, or 0.97% (annualized) of average loans, compared to $3.2 million, or 0.51% (annualized) for the first quarter of 2009 and $1.1 million or 0.19% (annualized) for the second quarter of 2008.

Nonperforming assets increased to $79.9 million as of June 30, 2009 from $55.8 million as of March 31, 2009 and $30.4 million as of June 30, 2008. The quarter over quarter increase of $24.1 million is predominately related to two lending relationships. The first is a $16.0 million mixed residential and retail development project located in Delaware. This project loan has been experiencing slow residential absorption and weakened property values, but is currently paying and has been supported by the project’s sponsors. The second property is an $8.0 million residential development project also located in Delaware. It has experienced no recent sales but is well collateralized according to an updated appraisal.

The Bank’s $1.8 billion total commercial and commercial real estate (CRE) portfolio reported delinquencies of 2.28% and net charge-offs of $5.4 million for the quarter ended June

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

30, 2009. Included in this amount: the $483.4 million CRE portfolio reported delinquency of 0.35% and net charge-offs of $168,000 for the quarter; the $1.1 billion commercial and industrial (C&I) portfolio reported delinquency of 1.22% and net charge-offs of $2.0 million; and the $233.0 million total construction and land development (CLD) portfolio reported delinquencies of 11.49% and net charge-offs of $3.3 million.

As of June 30, 2009, residential CLD loans, a subset of the total CLD portfolio which was discussed above, represented $135 million, or 5.3% of the total loan portfolio. The Company’s average residential CLD loan was $1.5 million in size and only eight residential CLD loans exceeded $5 million in outstanding balances. Net charge-offs in this portfolio totaled $3.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2009, delinquencies were 15.58% and 27% of the residential CLD portfolio is currently classified as nonperforming.

The Bank’s $408 million residential mortgage portfolio reported a delinquency rate of only 3.37% as of June 30, 2009 compared to national delinquency rate of 6.06% for prime mortgages as of March 31, 2009, the date of the most recent data available. Net charge-offs for this portfolio were $187,000, or only 0.18% (annualized) of the portfolio during the second quarter of 2009.

Also, our consumer loan portfolios continue to compare favorably to national trends. The Bank’s $115 million home equity installment loan portfolio had a delinquency rate of 1.06% as of June 30, 2009 compared to a national delinquency rate of 3.49% as of March 31, 2009. The Bank’s $168 million home equity line of credit portfolio also had a delinquency rate of 1.06% as of June 30, 2009 compared to a national rate of 1.83% as of March 31, 2009. Consumer loan net charge-offs for this portfolio, which consists mainly of home equity installment loans and lines, were $606,000 or 0.80% (annualized) of the consumer loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2009.

Investments

At June 30, 2009, the Bank’s total securities portfolio had a carrying value of $598.7 million. The Bank continues to hold no collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), bank Trust Preferred securities, Agency Preferred securities or equity securities in other FDIC insured banks or thrifts. The Bank had no other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) in its investment portfolio as of June 30, 2009.

Highlights from the investment portfolio include:

• The Agency MBS portfolio decreased $10.6 million to $259.8 million. All of the Agency MBS continue to be “plain vanilla” securities; $99.2 million are sequential-pay CMOs with no contingent cash flows, and $160.6 million are Agency MBS with 10 to 15 year original final maturities.

• The non-Agency MBS portfolio decreased $36.6 million to $278.8 million. The quality of this portfolio is evidenced by:

o Diversification among more than 80 different pools ($3.9 million on average).

o Significant seasoning, with 90% of underlying loans originated in 2005 or earlier, and only 10% originated in 2006.

o More than 95% of these bonds were originated as 15-year pass-through cash flows.

o Strong fundamental characteristics, with an average loan-to-value (LTV) of approximately 41% (current loan balance as a percentage of original property value) and an average initial FICO credit rating score of well above 700, and additional credit support from the securitization. Only 11% of the collateral is classified as Alt-A loans, and none of the collateral is classified as sub-prime.

o As of June 30, 2009, 19 of the 80 bonds, with a market value of $70.8 million, have been downgraded below AAA-. An independent stress test of these bonds resulted in only $231,000 of projected losses in a “Housing Depression” case (additional 20%+ decline in housing values over the next 24 months) due to low delinquencies (3.7%), strong LTV (47%) and credit support for our traunches of these bonds.

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

Overall, balances in investments reflect the fact that during the quarter, we sold $17.8 million in private label MBS at a $141,000 gain. In addition, aggregate prepayments for the entire MBS portfolio were strong, totaling $44 million during the second quarter 2009 alone.

Customer deposits increased $134.9 million from March 31, 2009

Total customer deposits (core deposits and customer time deposits) were $2.0 billion at June 30, 2009, and increased a robust $134.9 million or 7% (29% annualized) over levels reported at March 31, 2009. The linked quarter increase in deposits was mainly due to money market and demand accounts.

Customer deposits also increased $492.5 million, or 33%, over balances at June 30, 2008. The very strong growth was mainly in demand, customer time and money market accounts.

The following table summarizes current customer deposit balances and composition compared to prior periods.

	At				At				At
(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2009				March 31, 2009				June 30, 2008

Total customer deposits	$	1,981,134	100	%	$	1,846,235	100	%	$	1,488,656	100	%

Noninterest income

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded noninterest income of $12.7 million, compared to $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2009. Contributing to the linked quarter increase was $98,000 in fees from 1^st Reverse Financial Services, LLC (1^st Reverse), and $94,000 in revenues from WSFS’s Cash Connect division, both discussed later in a separate “niche business” section. Adjusted for these businesses, noninterest income increased $1.4 million. Deposit service charges and credit/debit card & ATM fees increased by $459,000 and

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

$253,000, respectively, over the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to seasonality, and securities gains increased by $464,000.

Noninterest income increased $1.0 million in comparison to the second quarter of 2008. Adjusted for Cash Connect and 1^st Reverse, noninterest income increased by $1.1 million. The increase was mainly from higher security gains as a result of a $622,000 positive mark-to-market adjustment on the BBB+ rated MBS recorded during the second quarter of 2009 and a $141,000 gain from the sale of mortgage-backed securities. In addition, mortgage banking activities were $313,000 higher during 2009 due to increased mortgage loan origination and sales.

Noninterest expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $31.0 million, which was a $6.6 million increase from the first quarter of 2009. Adjusted for niche businesses (Cash Connect and 1^st Reverse) and the non-routine charges discussed earlier in this release, noninterest expense increased by $933,000 or 4%, mainly due to $1.3 million of additional write-downs on REO. Excluding these items noninterest expense decreased by $355,000 or 2%. This decrease reflects the Company’s efforts to control expenses.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter increased $9.8 million from the second quarter of 2008. Adjusted for niche businesses and the non-routine charges discussed above, noninterest expense increased by $3.7 million or 19% over the second quarter of 2008. This increase is mainly due to a $1.3 million increase in FDIC insurance assessments (in addition to the special assessment) as a result of higher industry insurance rates and an increase in deposit balances, and $1.3 million of additional write-downs on REO. In addition, the Company recorded increases in salaries, occupancy and equipment expenses due to branch acquisitions and de novo expansion. These increases reflect the fact that during the last twelve months the Company added eight new branches (four acquired in the branch acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2008 and three new locations opened during 2009 in Sussex County, DE) and the

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

Company completed the relocation of its banking office in Lewes, DE to a new expanded facility.

Capital management

The Company’s capital decreased $3.6 million, or 1% from March 31, 2009 levels. Total tangible common book value per share decreased by $0.34 to $33.19. Adjusted for the stock purchase, discussed earlier in this release, the Company’s proforma tangible common equity ratio will improve meaningfully from 5.75% to 6.45%, while proforma tangible common book value will decrease slightly from $33.19 to $32.68.

At June 30, 2009, the Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 9.73%, significantly above the 6.00% level required to be considered “well-capitalized” under regulatory definitions. Tangible common equity decreased by only $1.0 million or less than 1% from March 31, 2009 levels while tangible common book value per share decreased by 1% or $0.34 to $33.19. The Company’s tangible common equity ratio declined slightly to 5.75% at the end of the second quarter.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share. This dividend will be paid on August 28, 2009, to shareholders of record as of August 7, 2009.

Niche businesses (included in the above results)

In late April 2008, WSFS acquired a majority stake in 1^st Reverse Financial Services, LLC. (1^st Reverse), specializing in reverse mortgage banking nationwide. During the second quarter of 2009, 1^st Reverse reported a pre-tax loss of $152,000, compared to a pre-tax loss of $586,000 for the first quarter of 2009. 1^st Reverse recorded $654,000 in fee income during the second quarter, an increase of $98,000, over the first quarter of 2009. Expenses were $806,000 during the second quarter, $336,000 below the first quarter of 2009.

President and CEO Mark A. Turner said, “Despite the improved results, the subsidiary has still not reached breakeven levels, and in the current economic climate, prospects for achieving required returns are weak. As a result, WSFS has made the decision to conduct an orderly wind-down of this start-up initiative.”

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

As a result of this decision, during the quarter WSFS recorded an additional $1.6 million pre-tax charge related to the wind-down of 1st Reverse including the write-off of all related goodwill and intangibles, outstanding intercompany receivables and its remaining investment in this subsidiary.

Mr. Turner continued, “WSFS remains committed to the reverse mortgage product and will continue to originate reverse mortgages through its Delaware-based retail franchise. This group has been the top reverse mortgage originator in Delaware for the past year and a half.”

The Cash Connect division is a premier provider of ATM Vault Cash and related services in the United States. Cash Connect manages more than $250 million in vault cash in approximately 10,500 non-bank ATMs nationwide and also operates over 300 ATMs for WSFS Bank, the largest branded ATM network in Delaware. During the second quarter of 2009, Cash Connect reported pre-tax income of $1.3 million, compared to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2009 and $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2008. Cash Connect recorded $2.9 million in net revenue (fee income less funding costs) during the second quarter primarily comprised of interest rate-sensitive bailment fees, an increase of $96,000 compared to the first quarter of 2009 and a decrease of $598,000 compared to the second quarter of 2008. Noninterest expenses were $1.7 million during the second quarter of 2009 an increase of $270,000 from the first quarter of 2009 and a reduction of $788,000 from the second quarter of 2008.

Income taxes

The Company recorded a $1.6 million income tax benefit (reflecting a 40.7% effective tax rate) in the second quarter of 2009. During the first quarter of 2009 the Company recorded a $25,000 income tax provision that included a $939,000 tax benefit resulting from a decrease in the Company’s income tax reserve due to the expiration of the statute of limitations on certain tax items. In the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a $3.7 million tax provision (35.8% effective tax rate). Volatility in effective tax rates from quarter to quarter is expected.
