WSFS REPORTS EPS OF $0.52, ROA OF 1.13% AND ROTCE OF 13.1% FOR THE

1ST QUARTER OF 2016, DRIVEN BY STRONG GROWTH IN REVENUE AND

CONTINUED POSITIVE OPERATING LEVERAGE

WILMINGTON, Del. — WSFS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: WSFS), the parent company of WSFS Bank, reported net income of $15.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2016 compared to net income of $12.9 million, or $0.45 per share for the first quarter of 2015 and net income of $14.0 million, or $0.46 per share for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Highlights for the first quarter of 2016:

 

    Core(n) earnings per share (enumerated below) of $0.53 increased 20% from $0.44 for the first quarter of 2015; and core(n) return on average assets (ROA) increased 10% to 1.14% from 1.04% for the first quarter of 2015.

 

    Core(n) net revenue increased $9.5 million, or 16% from the first quarter of 2015, including a $7.4 million, or 19% increase in core(n) net interest income and a $2.1 million, or 10% increase in core(n) fee income, reflecting both strong organic and acquisition growth. Core(n) noninterest expense increased $4.3 million, or only 11% in that same period, resulting in 5 points of positive operating leverage and an improved efficiency ratio.

 

    Commercial loans grew at a 5% annualized rate led by more than 8% growth in both Commercial and Industrial (C&I) and Commercial Real Estate (CRE) lending, reflecting continued success in winning good market share.

Notable (Non-Core) items in the quarter:

 

    WSFS recorded $569,000 (pre-tax), or more than $0.01 per share (after-tax) in expenses related to corporate development (M&A) activities during the first quarter of 2016, primarily related to the acquisition of Alliance Bank, which closed in early October 2015, and the pending combination with Penn Liberty Bank, scheduled to close in August 2016. WSFS recorded $0.01 per share in corporate development costs in the first quarter of 2015.

 

    WSFS realized $305,000, or less than $0.01 per share in net gains on securities sales from its investment portfolio during the first quarter of 2016. WSFS recorded $0.01 per share in net gains on securities sales in the first quarter of 2015.

 

    The first quarter of 2015 included $808,000 of interest income, or $0.02 per share, from a special one-time dividend payment from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) which impacts year-over-year comparability.

CEO outlook and commentary:

Mark A. Turner, President and CEO, said, “We are pleased to report strong first quarter 2016 results reflecting the continued success of our balanced growth strategy that includes both prudent organic and acquisition growth. While the first quarter is seasonally slower due to fewer days, the impact of winter weather, and higher compensation related costs, we continued our trend of fundamental progress across all parts of our business. Our year-over-year core net revenues grew 16%, while core expenses grew at a slower pace resulting in significant positive operating leverage and an improved efficiency ratio. Core EPS increased 20% and Core ROA increased 10% from the first quarter of 2015 and showed continued progress towards our strategic goals.

“These results provide a strong foundation as we embark on our new 2016-2018 Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan includes a full year 2016 core and sustainable ROA goal of 1.17%, increasing to at least 1.25% by the fourth quarter of 2016 and 1.30% by the fourth quarter of 2018. Our Strategic Plan reflects our focus on taking market share, deepening customer relationships, growing fee income and optimizing and innovating across our organization.

“Also, during the quarter we announced that we have obtained all required approvals for our combination with Penn Liberty Bank, which we expect to close in August 2016. This combination will allow us to continue our expansion in our highly desirable Southeastern Pennsylvania market. We expect core EPS accretion in 2016 from this combination, further embracing our profitability growth.

“Finally, during the quarter, we were named a top-ten ‘Top Work Place’ in the greater Philadelphia market by Philly.com. We have consistently been recognized as a top work place over the past decade and this latest award demonstrates our ability to successfully bring our culture, reputation and business model to the Pennsylvania market. We believe our strategy of ‘Engaged Associates delivering Stellar Experiences growing Customer Advocates and value for our Owners’ has been the foundation for our strong financial performance and is vital to our continued success.”

First Quarter 2016 Discussion of Financial Results

Continued solid growth in net interest income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2016 was $45.4 million, an increase of $6.5 million, or 17% compared to the first quarter of 2015. The net interest margin increased 5 basis points (bps) to 3.87%. Adjusting for the impact of the special FHLB dividend of $808,000 in the first quarter of 2015, net interest income for the first quarter of 2016 increased $7.4 million, or 19%, and the net interest margin improved 13 bps over the previous year. These year-over-year increases in margin dollars and percentages reflect the impact of organic and acquisition growth and an improved balance sheet mix, in addition to the positive purchase accounting impacts from recent acquisitions.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, net interest income decreased $2.5 million, or 5% (not annualized), and net interest margin decreased 27 bps, as the fourth quarter of 2015 included several out-sized and nonrecurring items discussed in our fourth quarter of 2015 earnings release.

Loan growth continues

Net loans at March 31, 2016 were $3.79 billion, an increase of $23.1 million, or 2% (annualized) over December 31, 2015. The growth in loans was the result of more than an 8% (annualized) increase in both C&I loans ($40.6 million) and CRE loans ($20.2 million) and was partially offset by a decline in residential mortgages due to our strategy of selling newly originated residential mortgages in the secondary market, and also due to the expected, large, normal payoff activity in the construction portfolio.

Compared to the first quarter of 2015, net loans increased $557.9 million, or 17%. This substantial year-over-year loan growth was spread across all major loan categories and was well balanced between acquired loans of $291.1 million and organic loan growth of $266.8 million.

Credit quality continues favorable trends

Credit quality metrics continued to show favorable trends and remained near historically low levels. Total nonperforming assets were $37.7 million at March 31, 2016, a $2.2 million, or 6% (not annualized) improvement from the fourth quarter of 2015, driven mostly by a reduction in nonaccruing loans. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio improved to 0.66% from 0.71% at December 31, 2015.

Delinquencies (which include nonperforming delinquencies) decreased $20.8 million from December 31, 2015 to $22.9 million, or only 0.60% of gross loans at March 31, 2016. The decrease included the impact of the previously discussed one large ($17.3 million), highly-seasonal relationship which has shown similar payment experience in prior years, and was brought current in early January 2016.

Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2016 were a low $313,000, or only 3bps of total net loans on an annualized basis, a reduction from $1.1 million, or 12bps annualized in the fourth quarter of 2015, and $705,000, or 9bps annualized, in the first quarter of 2015.

Total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan workout expenses, OREO expenses and other credit reserves) were $1.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $1.2 million from the previous quarter primarily due to the aforementioned low net charge offs and overall favorable credit quality trends. Total credit costs increased $373,000 from the first quarter of 2015, which benefited from gains on sale of OREO properties and recovery of legal expenses.

The ratio of the ALLL to total gross loans was 0.99% at March 31, 2016, consistent with 0.98% at December 31, 2015. Excluding the accounting for acquired loans, the ALLL to total gross loans ratio would have been 1.10% at March 31, 2016 and 1.11% at December 31, 2015. The ALLL increased to 190% of nonaccruing loans from 175% at December 31, 2015.

Customer funding reflects continued growth in relationship accounts

Total customer funding increased $9.8 million from December 31, 2015. Organic growth was mainly in relationship accounts and was driven by an increase in core deposits of $35.0 million, or 4% (annualized). This was offset by a decrease of $26.1 million in time deposits. Time deposits decreased mainly due to allowing older, higher-rate CDs to either run-off or convert to core deposits as part of continued net interest margin management.

Compared to March 31, 2015, customer funding increased $540.5 million, or 16% to $3.88 billion. In addition to the deposits gained from the acquisition of Alliance in 2015 of $339.3 million, organic customer funding grew $201.2 million, or 6% year-over-year. This organic growth was primarily in relationship accounts as core deposits increased $295.5 million reflecting strong growth in market share.

At March 31, 2016 core deposits represented a robust 85% of total customer funding, and low-cost relationship checking deposit accounts represented 45% of total customer funding. The loan to customer funding ratio was also a healthy 99% at March 31, 2016.

The following table summarizes customer funding balances and composition at March 31, 2016 compared to prior periods:

Double-digit growth continued in fee income over prior year

Core(n) fee income (noninterest income) increased $2.1 million, or 10% when compared to the same period a year ago. This came from across-the-board growth, including increases of $874,000 in credit/debit card and ATM income, $371,000 in deposit service charges, $355,000 from gain on sale of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans, and $161,000 in investment management and fiduciary revenue, in each case compared to the same period a year ago.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, core(n) fee income increased $202,000, despite the seasonal decrease typically seen in fee income in the first quarter due to the impact of winter weather on economic activity. Key growth drivers included an increase in mortgage banking fee income of $302,000, an increase in credit/debit card and ATM income of $174,000 as well as the gain on sale of SBA loans (noted above), in each case compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. These increases were offset by a seasonal decrease of $457,000 in investment management and fiduciary revenue (discussed more below).

Our fee income for the first quarter of 2016 is a robust 33% of total revenue and our performance reflects the strength and diversity of our revenue streams.

Noninterest expense reflects franchise growth and seasonal expenses

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2016 was $43.2 million, an increase of $4.3 million when compared to the first quarter of 2015. Core(n) noninterest expense also increased $4.3 million when compared to the same period last year. Contributing to the year-over-year increase was $1.8 million of ongoing operating costs from the addition of the Alliance franchise and increased compensation expense from added staff to support our significant organic and acquisition growth. In addition, professional fees increased primarily due to higher legal and consulting fees in our Wealth Management segment.

Noninterest expense decreased $4.0 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding notable items in both periods, core(n) noninterest expense increased $1.6 million. The increase included higher salary and related expenses reflecting typical first quarter seasonality, such as merit increases in salary, accruals for earned but unused paid time off (PTO), higher 401(k) matching costs and certain employer-paid taxes until caps are met, and higher seasonal occupancy-related costs.

Selected Business Segments (included in previous results):

Wealth Management revenue grows 8% over the prior year

The Wealth Management segment provides a broad array of fiduciary, investment management, credit and deposit products to clients through four businesses. WSFS Wealth Investments provides insurance and brokerage products primarily to our retail banking clients. Cypress Capital Management, LLC is a registered investment advisor with approximately $634 million in assets under management (AUM). Cypress’ primary market segment is high net worth individuals, offering a “balanced” investment style focused on preservation of capital and providing for current income. Christiana Trust, with $12.5 billion in assets under management and administration, provides fiduciary and investment services to personal trust clients, and trustee, agency, bankruptcy administration, custodial and commercial domicile services to corporate and institutional clients. WSFS Private Banking serves high net worth clients by delivering credit and deposit products and partnering with other business units to deliver investment management and fiduciary products and services.

Total Wealth Management revenue (net interest income, fiduciary fees and other fee income) was $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2016. This was an increase of $622,000, or 8% compared to the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease of $423,000, or 5% (not annualized) compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase included fee revenue growth of $273,000, or 5%, and reflects continued growth in several Wealth Management business lines, with particular strength in corporate trust services, bankruptcy administration and the partnership with WSFS Mortgage in the delivery of mortgage products to Private Banking clients. The decline in revenue over the prior quarter is primarily attributable to the very strong fourth quarter of 2015, including corporate trust services, as a result of a number of new securitization trust appointments in that quarter.

Total noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations and provision for loan losses and credit costs) was $5.8 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $4.9 million during the first quarter of 2015 and $6.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase in costs was due to $677,000 of legal and consulting costs on a few legacy trust matters, as well as increased compensation expense due to higher revenue and other infrastructure costs necessary to support the continuing growth of the Wealth Management business.

Pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2016 was $2.9 million compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and was driven by the above-mentioned factors.

Cash Connect pre-tax income increases 18% over same quarter 2015.

Cash Connect® is a premier provider of ATM vault cash and smart safe and cash logistics services in the United States. Cash Connect® services over 17,000 non-bank ATMs and retail safes nationwide with over $700 million in cash and also operates over 440 ATMs for WSFS Bank, which has the largest branded ATM network in Delaware.

Our Cash Connect® division recorded $7.3 million in net revenue (fee income less funding costs) in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $877,000, or 14% from the first quarter of 2015, reflecting significant organic growth. Net revenue decreased $145,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 due to typical seasonality. Noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations of expense) was $5.6 million during the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $614,000 from the first quarter of 2015 and an increase of $346,000 compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Cash Connect® reported pre-tax income of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2016, which was an increase of $264,000, or 18% from the first quarter of 2015. First quarter 2016 pre-tax income decreased $491,000, or 22% from $2.2 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily as a result of seasonality.

The Cash Connect business’s significant year-over-year fee income growth was driven by the ongoing expansion of its core business offerings of ATM Vault Cash and related Total Cash Management services. This growth is due to the deepening of our relationships with some of the largest providers of ATM services in the United States. Our Cash Connect division is also continuing to gain traction with its new smart safe, cash logistics offering which is a recently added source of fee income. Three national smart safe partners are now boarding locations with our program which has expanded to 18 states.

Income taxes

The Company recorded an $8.7 million income tax provision in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 and a $7.3 million tax provision in the first quarter of 2015.

The effective tax rate was 35.5% in the first quarter of 2016, 36.4% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 36.2% in the first quarter of 2015. The first quarter 2016 effective rate decreased slightly due to increased tax-exempt income and lower nondeductible expenses associated with acquisition activity.

Capital management

WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2016 increased $17.1 million, or 3%, to $597.6 million, due to the quarterly earnings and an increase in the fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio, offset by common stock dividends and the Company’s stock buyback activity.

Similarly, WSFS’ tangible common equity(n) increased by 4% to $503.0 million at March 31, 2016 from $485.2 million at December 31, 2015. WSFS’ tangible common equity to asset ratio(n) increased by 16bps during the quarter to 9.00%. Tangible common book value per share(n) was $17.04 at March 31, 2016, or a $0.74, or 5%, increase from December 31, 2015, with all ratios reflecting the combined impact of the above noted changes.

At March 31, 2016, WSFS Bank’s Tier I leverage ratio of 10.50%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.16%, and Total Capital ratio of 12.96%, were all substantially in excess of the “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks.

In the first quarter of 2016, WSFS repurchased 301,871 shares of common stock at an average price of $29.75 as part of our 5% buyback program approved by the Board of Directors during the fourth quarter of 2015. WSFS has 1,098,694 shares, or just under 4% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under this current authorization.

Finally, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on May 27, 2016 to shareholders of record as of May 13, 2016.

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those related to difficult market conditions and unfavorable economic trends in the United States generally, and particularly in the market areas in which the Company operates and in which its loans are concentrated, including the effects of declines in housing markets, an increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth; the Company’s level of nonperforming assets and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans including litigation and other costs; changes in market interest rates may increase funding costs and reduce earning asset yields thus reducing 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 our loan portfolio; the extensive federal and state regulation, supervision and examination governing almost every aspect of the Company’s operations including changes in regulations affecting financial institutions, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations being issued in accordance with this statute and potential expenses associated with complying with such regulations; possible additional loan losses and impairment of the collectability of loans; the Company’s ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements (including the finalized Basel III capital standards), including our ability to generate liquidity internally or raise capital on favorable terms; possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations and other activities of governments, agencies, and similar organizations; any impairment of the Company’s goodwill or other intangible assets; failure of the financial and operational controls of the Company’s Cash Connect division; conditions in the financial markets that may limit the Company’s access to additional funding to meet its liquidity needs; the success of the Company’s growth plans, including the successful integration of past and future acquisitions; negative perceptions or publicity with respect to the Company’s trust and wealth management business; system failure or cybersecurity breaches of the Company’s network security; 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 and man-made disasters including terrorist attacks; possible changes in the speed of loan prepayments by the Company’s customers and loan origination or sales volumes; possible acceleration of prepayments of mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates, and the related acceleration of premium amortization on prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates; regulatory limits on the Company’s ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries and pay dividends to its shareholders; the effects of any reputational, credit, interest rate, market, operational, legal, liquidity, regulatory and compliance risk resulting from developments related to any of the risks discussed above; and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans, litigation and other risks and uncertainties, discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
