CEO Commentary

Rodger Levenson, Chairman, President and CEO, said, We are pleased to end 2020 with strong 4Q results including core ROA(2)of 1.67% and core pre-provision net revenue (PPNR)(2)of $73.4 million, or 2.12% of average assets. Our performance reflects the diversification of our franchise and positive momentum as we enter 2021. During the quarter, we resumed our share repurchase program and returned $122.4 million of capital to our shareholders through share repurchases and our cash dividend, while maintaining a strong Bank Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio of 12.50% at December 31st. The quarter also included continued reduction in short-term loan modifications and an ACL coverage ratio of 2.73% (excluding PPP loans) at December 31st. In addition, we completed the issuance of $150 million of Senior Notes in December 2020 at a very low initial fixed interest rate of 2.75% demonstrating the strength of our franchise, market position and strategic direction.

During an ongoing difficult operating environment, we continue to make significant franchise, talent and technology investments to capture significant organic growth opportunities resulting from our market position as the largest locally headquartered community bank in the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware region.

In the quarter, we were honored to be ranked the 4th Best Overall Bank in Bank Directors 2021 RankingBanking study, while placing first in the Best Board and Best Technology Strategy categories. This recognition reflects our commitment to sustainable long-term high performance driven by our talented and engaged Associates.

As we turn the page from 2020, I want to once again say thank you to our entire organization for their dedication and support of each other, our customers, and the community during a very challenging year.

At December31, 2020, WSFS net loan portfolio decreased $261.3 million when compared with September30, 2020 primarily due to a $203.0 million decrease in PPP loans due to loan forgiveness during the quarter. Excluding PPP loans, run-off portfolios, and the allowance for credit losses, loans increased $74.1 million, or 1% (not annualized), during the quarter.

Net loans at December31, 2020 increased $485.1 million when compared with December31, 2019, primarily due to $751.2 million of PPP loans as of December31, 2020. The year-over-year PPP loan increase was partially offset by a $423.5 million decline in non-relationship run-off portfolios and a $181.2 million increase in the allowance for credit losses year-over-year. Excluding PPP loans, run-off portfolios, and the allowance for credit losses, loans increased $338.7 million, or 5%, year-over-year, including growth across construction, commercial small business leases, and home equity installment loans originated through our partnership with Spring EQ.

Total customer funding was $11.6 billion at December31, 2020, a $489.8 million increase from September30, 2020 and a $2.3 billion increase from December31, 2019, reflecting elevated deposits from customers who received PPP loans, government stimulus impact, and lower customer spending. Core deposits were $10.5 billion at December31, 2020, an increase of $554.8 million over the prior quarter due primarily to $425.9 million of short-term customer deposits expected to exit during 1Q 2021 and elevated customer liquidity. Core deposits were a strong 90% of total customer deposits and no- and low-cost checking accounts represented a robust 52% of total customer deposits at December31, 2020. These core deposits predominantly represent longer-term, less price-sensitive customer relationships. The ratio of loans to customer deposits was 77% at December31, 2020 reflecting significant liquidity capacity.

Net Interest Income

Netinterest income increased $5.4 million, or 5%, compared to4Q 2019,primarily due to $10.5 million of PPP income in4Q 2020including $8.4 million of fee accretion, partially offset by a $6.0 million reduction due to the lower rate environment. Net interest margin decreased 42 bps from4Q 2019due to a 31 bps net decline from the lower rate environment and balance sheet mix and 17 bps from the significant short-term liquidity increase in customer deposits, partially offset by a 6 bps increase from PPP.

Net interest incomeincreased $10.0 million, or 9%(not annualized), from 3Q 2020 primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in PPP income, a$3.7 millionincrease in purchase accounting accretion and $2.1 million primarily from lower funding costs due to deposit repricing. Net interest marginincreased 27 bpsincluding 14 bps from PPP, 12 bps from higher purchase accounting accretion, and 7 bps from lower funding costs partially offset by asset mix change resulting from the significant short-term liquidity increase in customer deposits.

Credit Quality

Credit quality at December31, 2020 remained stable with total problem assets of $766.0 million flat when compared to $769.7 million as of September30, 2020. Total problem assets includes all criticized, classified, and nonperforming loans as well as other real estate owned (OREO).

Delinquencies increased to $78.9 million at December31, 2020, or 0.88% of gross loans, and nonperforming assets increased to $60.5 million as of December31, 2020 primarily due to one $15 million multi-family commercial relationship. Customer loans receiving short-term loan modifications as of December31, 2020 decreased to $114.8 million, or less than 2% of the loan portfolio excluding PPP. Net charge-offs for 4Q 2020 were a low $3.0 million, or 0.13% (annualized), of average gross loans.

Total net credit (recoveries) costs were $(0.5) million in the quarter compared to $4.1 million in 3Q 2020 and the ACL decreased slightly to $228.8 million as economic forecasts were largely consistent with the prior quarter with modest decreases in the ACL due primarily to normal portfolio run-off.

The following table summarizes credit quality metrics as of and for the period ended December31, 2020 compared to September 30, 2020 and December31, 2019.

Core Fee Income(4)

Core fee income (noninterest income) was $43.5 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 5%, compared to 4Q 2019, despite a $3.3 million decrease in interchange fees resulting from the Durbin Amendment effective at the beginning of 3Q 2020. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a $3.8 million increase from our mortgage banking business driven by increased volume resulting from the lower interest rate environment and improved secondary market conditions. Additionally, trust services revenue increased $2.6 million, or 36%, year-over-year. Partially offsetting these increases was a $2.3 million decrease in Cash Connectprimarily driven by the significant decline in interest rates compared to last year and fully offset by lower funding costs.

Core fee income decreased $2.3 million, or 5%, compared to 3Q 2020, primarily due to a $4.8 million decrease from our mortgage banking business, resulting from an expected seasonal decline in volume and less favorable secondary market conditions. Partially offsetting the decrease in mortgage fees was a $1.1 million increase in core banking fees, $0.9 million of higher gains on sale of SBA loans, and a $0.6 million increase in our trust and wealth businesses.

(4)As used in this press release, core fee income is a non-GAAP financial measures. This non-GAAP financial measures excludes securities gains unrealized/realized gains on equity investments, net. 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.

For 4Q 2020, core fee income was 26.1% of core net revenue, or flat compared to 4Q 2019, and was diversified among various sources, including traditional banking, mortgage banking, trust and wealth management and cash logistics services (Cash Connect). The year-over-year percentage comparison includes the impact of lower net interest income due to the lower rate environment offset by the adverse impacts of the Durbin Amendment.

Core Noninterest Expense(5)

Core noninterest expense of $93.1 million for 4Q 2020 increased slightly compared to $92.5 million in 4Q 2019. The year-over-year change includes higher compensation costs from overall franchise growth and talent investments, continued investment in delivery transformation across multiple projects, and PPP loan processing costs. These year-over-year increases were partially offset by continued integration cost synergies from our combination with Beneficial in 2019.

When compared to 3Q 2020, core noninterest expense increased $2.3 million primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs related to our strong operating performance, continued delivery transformation investment, and PPP processing costs. These increases were partially offset by lower unfunded commitment reserve expense, which is recorded under loan workout and other credit costs, and lower other operating expenses.

Our core efficiency ratio(5)was 55.8% in 4Q 2020, compared to 57.1% in 3Q 2020 and 58.0% in 4Q 2019.

Income Taxes

We recorded a $17.5 million income tax provision in 4Q 2020, compared to $15.1 millionin3Q 2020 and $14.2 million in 4Q 2019.

The effective tax rate was 22.6% in4Q 2020, 23.0% in3Q 2020, and 23.8% in4Q 2019. The year-over-year declineprimarily reflects higher nondeductible expenses in 4Q 2019.

(5)As used in this press release, core noninterest expense and core efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude corporate development and restructuring expense and the contribution to the WSFS Community Fund.

Capital Management

During 4Q 2020, WSFS resumed share repurchases and repurchased 2,946,507 shares, or 6% of our outstanding common stock, at an average price of $39.45, totaling $116.3 million. WSFS has 4,648,470 shares, or approximately 10% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under our current authorization. We continue to execute the Board-approved share repurchase plan, including opportunistically repurchasing shares, based on current valuation levels, above our stated practice of returning a minimum of 25% of annual net income to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.

WSFS total stockholders equity decreased $71.8 million, or 4% (not annualized), during 4Q 2020, primarily due to $116.3 million of share repurchases, market-value changes on available-for-sale securities and the dividend on common stock paid during the quarter, partially offset by quarterly earnings.

WSFS tangible common equity(6)decreased $69.4 million, or 5% (not annualized) compared to September30, 2020 for the reasons described above. WSFS common equity to assets ratio was 12.50%at December31, 2020, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio(5)decreased by 86 bps during the quarter to 8.96%.

At December31, 2020, book value per share was $37.52, an increase of $0.75, or 2%, from September30, 2020, and tangible common book value per share(5)was $25.85, an increase of $0.12 from September30, 2020.

At December31, 2020, WSFS Banks Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.74%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.50%, and Total Capital ratio of 13.76% were all substantially in excess of the well-capitalized regulatory benchmarks.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on February25, 2021 to stockholders of record as of February11, 2021.

(6)As used in this release, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets 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.

Cash Connectreported pre-tax income of $2.2 million for 4Q 2020, which was an increase of $1.1 million, or 95%, compared to 4Q 2019 primarily due to higher cash volumes, a low interest rate environment, and continued growth of higher margin products and services.

ROA of 1.74% in 4Q 2020 increased 68 bps from 4Q 2019 and decreased 72 bps from 3Q 2020.

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, difficult market conditions and unfavorable economic trends in the United States generally, and particularly in the markets in which the Company operates and in which its loans are concentrated, including possible declines in housing markets, an increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; possible additional loan losses and impairment of the collectability of loans, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the policies and programs implemented by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, including its automatic loan forbearance provisions and our PPP lending activities; additional credit, fraud and litigation risks associated with our PPP lending activities; economic and financial impact of federal, state and local emergency orders and other actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; 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 the effect of the transition to the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology for allowances and related adjustments), 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; conditions in the financial markets, including the destabilized economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, that may limit the Company's access to additional funding to meet its liquidity needs; the intention of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to cease support of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the transition to an alternative reference interest rate, such as the Secured Overnight Funding 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 portfolio and residential mortgage small business and SBA portfolios; the successful integration of acquisitions; the Company's ability to 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 operational controls of the Company's Cash Connectdivision; 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 employees; the effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions that adversely affect the Company or the banking industry generally; the effects of weather and natural disasters such as floods, droughts, wind, tornadoes and hurricanes as well as effects from geopolitical instability, 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 due to changes in the interest rate environment, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, 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, 2019, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
