CEO Commentary

Rodger Levenson, Chairman, President and CEO, said, "Our performance in the third quarter reflects the continued organization-wide focus on optimizing recent strategic investments. We remain well-positioned to execute on our 2022-2024 Strategic Plan.

"Solid loan growth and expanded net interest margin combined with disciplined expense management led to a substantial increase in core PPNR and positive operating leverage. Asset quality metrics remain favorable as our Customers continue to navigate through the current uncertain economic environment.

"We were pleased to be assigned a first time rating by Moody's Investor Service with an investment grade of Baa2 with a Positive Outlook, recognizing the strength of the franchise and supporting new fee opportunities for our wealth and trust businesses.

"We were also honored to be named a Top Workplace in Delaware for the 16th year in a row by The News Journal and a Top Workplace in Philadelphia by The Inquirer for the 8th consecutive year during the quarter. These recognitions are a tribute to our over 2,100 dedicated Associates serving our Customers and Communities every day."

Third Quarter 2022 Discussion of Financial Results

Balance Sheet

The following table summarizes loan and lease balances and composition at September 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021:

Loans and Leases
(Dollars in millions)	September 30, 2022					June 30, 2022					September 30, 2021
Commercial & industrial (C&I)⁽⁴⁾	$	4,445		38	%	$	4,444		39	%	$	3,261		41	%
Commercial mortgage	3,280			28		3,322			29		1,988			25

Total commercial loans	9,288			80		9,213			81		6,329			79
Residential mortgage	802			7		808			7		654			8
Consumer	1,677			14		1,522			13		1,118			14
ACL	(146		)	(1	)	(142		)	(1	)	(105		)	(1	)
Net loans and leases	$	11,621		100	%	$	11,401		100	%	$	7,996		100	%

⁽⁴⁾ C&I loans include PPP loans of $66.7 million as of 3Q 2021.

At September 30, 2022, WSFS' net loan and lease portfolio increased $219.4 million, or 8% (annualized), when compared with June 30, 2022. Excluding the run-off of our acquired residential mortgage portfolio, net loans and leases increased $242.1 million, or 9% (annualized), primarily due to increases of $154.5 million in the consumer portfolio driven by our partnerships with Spring EQ and Upstart and $93.9 million in the construction portfolio from new and existing fundings.

Net loans and leases at September 30, 2022 increased $3.6 billion when compared with September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by the $3.5 billion of net loans and leases acquired in the combination with Bryn Mawr Trust.

The following table summarizes customer deposit balances and composition at September 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021:

Customer Deposits
(Dollars in millions)	September 30, 2022				June 30, 2022				September 30, 2021
Noninterest demand	$	6,171	37	%	$	6,552	38	%	$	4,134	33	%
Interest-bearing demand	3,462		21		3,396		20		2,845		22
Savings	2,266		14		2,313		13		1,942		15
Money market	3,740		22		3,882		23		2,772		22
Total core deposits	15,639		94		16,143		94		11,693		92
Customer time deposits	1,063		6		1,104		6		1,035		8
Total customer deposits	$	16,702	100	%	$	17,247	100	%	$	12,728	100	%

At September 30, 2022 total customer deposits decreased $544.6 million, or 3% (13% annualized), when compared with June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a $220.5 million decline in transactional trust deposits and $324.1 million due to a reduction in customer balances spread across most business lines.

Customer deposits increased by $4.0 billion from September 30, 2021 primarily driven by the $4.1 billion of deposits acquired in the combination with Bryn Mawr Trust and strong customer relationships across lending and fee based business lines.

Core deposits were a strong 94% of total customer deposits, and no- and low-cost checking accounts represented a robust 58% of total customer deposits, at September 30, 2022. These core deposits predominantly represent longer-term, less price-sensitive customer relationships. More than half of our core deposits, or 55%, are from our Commercial, Small Business and Wealth Management customer relationships. The ratio of net loans and leases to customer deposits was 70% at September 30, 2022, reflecting continued capacity to fund future loan growth.

Net Interest Income

	Three Months Ending
(Dollars in millions)	September 30, 2022			June 30, 2022			September 30, 2021
Net interest income before purchase accretion	$	172.7		$	148.4		$	95.6
Purchase accounting accretion	4.1			5.2			6.3
Net interest income before PPP	176.8			153.6			101.9
PPP	—			—			2.6

Net interest margin before PPP	3.99			3.40			3.00
PPP	—			—			0.05
Net interest margin	3.99		%	3.40		%	3.05		%

Net interest income increased $23.2 million, or 15% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2022, primarily due to $21.1 million from the rising interest rate environment, $3.2 million from loan growth and balance sheet mix, partially offset by $1.1 million from lower purchase accounting accretion. Net interest income increased $72.3 million, or 69%, compared to 3Q 2021, primarily due to a $74.6 million increase from the balance sheet size and mix due to the combination with Bryn Mawr Trust and the rising interest rate environment, offset by $2.6 million from the impact of PPP loans and a $2.2 million decrease in purchase accounting accretion.

Net interest margin increased 59bps from 2Q 2022 attributable to 47bps due to impact from the rising interest rate environment, 14bps from balance sheet mix and loan growth, offset by a decrease of 2bps from lower purchase accounting accretion. Net interest margin increased 94bps from 3Q 2021, due to a favorable increase of 70 bps from the rising interest rate environment and 38bps from the balance sheet size and mix, offset by reductions of 9bps from lower purchase accounting accretion and 5bps from PPP loans.

Credit Quality

The following table summarizes credit quality metrics as of and for the period ended September 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

(Dollars in millions)	September 30, 2022			June 30, 2022			September 30, 2021
Problem assets	$	472.9		$	567.5		$	532.0

Ratio of allowance for credit losses to nonaccruing loans	755			676			303

See "Notes"

Overall credit metric ratios remained positive and stable during the quarter and continued to reflect the strength of the originated and acquired portfolios. Total problem assets⁽⁵⁾ decreased to $472.9 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $567.5 million at June 30, 2022, primarily from upgrades in commercial mortgage loans and our hotel sector. Total problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ACL was 23.17% at September 30, 2022, compared to 26.24% at June 30, 2022.

Delinquencies to gross loans increased to 0.59% at September 30, 2022 compared to 0.52% at June 30, 2022, reflecting elevated delinquencies identified as administrative in nature that are expected to return to current status during the fourth quarter.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 0.19% at September 30, 2022 compared to 0.16% at June 30, 2022. The ratio of nonperforming assets (excluding accruing TDRs) to total assets at September 30, 2022 was 0.10%, which was flat as compared to June 30, 2022. Net charge-offs for 3Q 2022 were $3.2 million, or 0.11% (annualized) of average gross loans.

⁽⁵⁾ Total problem assets includes all criticized, classified, and nonperforming loans as well as other real estate owned (OREO).

Total net credit costs were $8.5 million in the quarter as compared to $8.0 million in 2Q 2022. The increase in credit costs was primarily due to mix of new loan originations and the change in economic impact and problem assets, as previously described. The ACL of $146.2 million as of September 30, 2022 increased $4.2 million from June 30, 2022, primarily due to loan growth and the change in economic forecasts, partially offset by upgrades to criticized and classified loans.

Core Fee Revenue

Core fee revenue (noninterest income) of $64.9 million decreased $1.1 million, or 2% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2022, primarily driven by decreases of $2.9 million in Wealth Management revenue, $2.6 million from capital markets income, and $0.8 million in mortgage banking fees, partially offset by an increase of $3.4 million in Cash Connect^® bailment and smart safe revenue and $2.0 million of other banking fees.

Core fee revenue increased $21.5 million, or 49%, compared to 3Q 2021, primarily driven by a $14.2 million increase in Wealth Management revenue, of which $12.3 million was attributable to the combination with Bryn Mawr Trust. In addition, the year-over-year increase included $6.5 million of other banking fees, including fees associated with our consumer lending partnerships, gain on sale of SBA loans and traditional bank service fees, $4.2 million in Cash Connect^®, and $0.8 million in capital markets income. Partially offsetting the increase was a $4.2 million decline in mortgage banking fees primarily resulting from the decline in refinancing originations compared to the historically higher levels in 3Q 2021.

For 3Q 2022, core fee revenue was 26.8% of core net revenue compared to 30.0% in 2Q 2022 and 29.3% in 3Q 2021, as fees continue to be well diversified among various sources, including traditional and other banking fees, mortgage banking, capital markets, Wealth Management, and Cash Connect^®.

Core Noninterest Expense⁽⁶⁾

Core noninterest expense of $130.3 million for 3Q 2022 increased $6.6 million compared to 2Q 2022 primarily from increases of $4.1 million in salaries and benefits, including $2.6 million from higher performance-based incentive awards and $1.6 million from other one-time personnel costs, $1.5 million from higher variable operating costs from Cash Connect^®, and $1.2 million in loan workout and other credit costs primarily from the release of credit-related expenses from Wealth Management that occurred in 2Q 2022.

When compared to 3Q 2021, core noninterest expense increased $35.9 million compared to $94.4 million in 3Q 2021, primarily due to higher costs from the acquisition of Bryn Mawr Trust. These higher costs support the overall franchise growth of the combined company, including $19.0 million in salaries and benefits, $8.7 million of higher variable operating costs, including $2.1 million from Cash Connect^®. In addition, there was $1.7 million of higher costs from certain one-time items. Our core efficiency ratio was 53.8% in 3Q 2022, compared to 56.2% in 2Q 2022 and 63.7% in 3Q 2021 primarily due to the impact of higher net interest income.

Income Taxes

We recorded a $25.8 million income tax provision in 3Q 2022, compared to a $22.4 million income tax provision in 2Q 2022 and $17.5 million in 3Q 2021. The effective tax rate was 26.0% in 3Q 2022, compared to 26.9% in 2Q 2022 and 24.3% in 3Q 2021.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for 3Q 2022 compared to 2Q 2022 was the result of discrete tax expense related to nondeductible goodwill written off during the sale of the BMT Insurance Advisors business in 2Q 2022. The increase in effective tax rate for 3Q 2022 compared to 3Q 2021 was primarily due to the acquisition of Bryn Mawr Trust, including higher state taxes and other nondeductible costs.

⁽⁶⁾ As used in this press release, core noninterest expense is a non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes corporate development and restructuring expense. 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.

Capital Management

Capital levels remain strong and are all substantially in excess of the "well-capitalized" regulatory benchmarks at September 30, 2022 with WSFS Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.76%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.38%, and Total Risk-based capital ratio of 13.34%.

At September 30, 2022, WSFS' total stockholders' equity decreased $211.8 million, or 9% (not annualized), during 3Q 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $196.6 million from market-value decreases on investment securities resulting from the current rising interest rate environment. Additionally, quarterly earnings of $73.4 million were offset by capital returns to stockholders of $81.0 million from share repurchases described above and $9.5 million from quarterly dividends.

WSFS' tangible common equity⁽⁷⁾ decreased $208.3 million, or 16% (not annualized) compared to June 30, 2022. WSFS' common equity to assets ratio was 10.53% at September 30, 2022, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio⁽⁷⁾ decreased by 90bps during the quarter to 5.73% primarily due to the reasons described above.

At September 30, 2022, book value per share was $33.96, a decrease of $2.45, or 7% (not annualized), from June 30, 2022, and tangible common book value per share⁽⁷⁾ was $17.55, a decrease of $2.82, or 14% (not annualized), from June 30, 2022 primarily due to the reasons described above.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on November 18, 2022 to stockholders of record as of November 4, 2022.

During 3Q 2022, WSFS repurchased 1,664,550 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $81.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, WSFS has 6,950,751 shares, or approximately 11% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under its current authorizations.

⁽⁷⁾ As used in this press release, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible common book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude goodwill and intangible assets and the related tax-effected amortization. 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.

Financial Metrics
AUM/AUA ⁽¹⁰⁾	$	61,393	$	60,330	$	27,581

Wealth Management reported pre-tax income of $20.9 million in 3Q 2022 compared to $20.2 million in 2Q 2022, and $10.1 million in 3Q 2021. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily attributable to net interest income growth from the higher interest rate environment, offset by reduced fee income on AUM in the Wealth advisory business. The year-over-year increase was mainly from the combination of Bryn Mawr Trust.

Fee revenue was $29.9 million in 3Q 2022, a decrease of $2.9 million or 9% (not annualized), compared to 2Q 2022, and an increase of $14.2 million, or 90%, compared to 3Q 2021. The decline in fee revenue from the prior quarter was due to a $1.3 million decline resulting from the sale of the insurance business (offset by a reduction in expenses), a $1.2 million decline in fee revenue derived from our AUM based advisory business and a $0.8 million seasonal decline in other advisory business services. The trust revenue was slightly higher when compared to 2Q 2022, demonstrating the diversified nature of Wealth Management's other fee revenue sources.

Total noninterest expense⁽⁸⁾ was $24.2 million in 3Q 2022, compared to $22.8 million in 2Q 2022 and $11.4 million in 3Q 2021. Excluding certain one-time expenses of $2.7 million, the quarter-over-quarter decline was $1.3 million.

Net AUM of $7.2 billion at the end of 3Q 2022 decreased $0.3 billion compared to 2Q 2022, and increased $4.8 billion compared to 3Q 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decline was primarily impacted by the decline in equity and fixed income markets.

⁽⁸⁾ Includes intercompany allocation of expense and excludes provision for credit losses.

⁽⁹⁾ Includes institutional and direct trust revenue.

ROA of 0.99% in 3Q 2022 decreased 27bps from 2Q 2022 and decreased 76bps from 3Q 2021 driven by a shift in funding composition mix and lower net income.

Net revenue⁽¹¹⁾ of $12.8 million in 3Q 2022 was up $1.2 million from 2Q 2022 and up $1.3 million from 3Q 2021 driven by the rising interest rate environment (offset by higher external funding expense).

Noninterest expense⁽¹²⁾ was $10.8 million in 3Q 2022, an increase of $1.5 million higher compared to 2Q 2022 and $2.1 million higher compared to 3Q 2021 driven by higher external funding and operating expense.

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; 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 transition to an alternative reference interest rate, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), including methodologies for calculating the rate that are different from the LIBOR methodology and changed language for existing and new floating or adjustable rate contracts; 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 following its recent acquisition of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (BMBC or Bryn Mawr Trust); 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, including its recent acquisition of BMBC (the BMBC Merger); 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 operational controls of the Company's Cash Connect^® division; 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 widespread 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); additional credit, fraud and litigation risks associated with our PPP lending activities; 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; and other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022 and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
