WSFS REPORTS NET INCOME OF $37.4 MILLION AND 1Q 2018 EPS OF $1.16.
RESULTS POSITIVELY IMPACTED BY A $15.3 MILLION PRE-TAX VALUATION GAIN
ON VISA CLASS B SHARES AND A $1.7 MILLION FRAUD RECOVERY.
STRONG OPERATING RESULTS INCLUDE A NET INTEREST MARGIN OF 4.01%
AND ROBUST ORGANIC FEE INCOME GROWTH.
QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND INCREASED 22% TO $0.11 PER SHARE.
WILMINGTON, Del. — WSFS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: WSFS), or the Company, the parent company of WSFS Bank, reported net income of $37.4 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share for 1Q 2018 compared to net income of $18.9 million, or $0.59 per share for 1Q 2017 and net loss of $9.8 million, or $0.31 per share for 4Q 2017. 1Q 2018 results include an unrealized valuation gain of $15.3 million (pre-tax), or $0.36 per share (after-tax), related to our adoption of the new Financial Instruments Accounting Standards Update (ASU) and its impact on the valuation of our equity investment in Visa Class B shares, and a fraud recovery of $1.7 million, or $0.04 per share. The results for 4Q 2017 included $32.9 million of after-tax expense, or $1.05 per share, related to items disclosed in WSFS' previous press releases and SEC filings.
Net revenue (which includes net interest income and noninterest income) was $105.2 million for 1Q 2018, an increase of $24.0 million, or 30%, from 1Q 2017. Net interest income was $57.7 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 9%, from 1Q 2017; and fee income (noninterest income) was $47.5 million, an increase of $19.4 million, or 69%, from 1Q 2017. The increase in noninterest income includes the $15.3 million unrealized valuation gain described above. Noninterest expenses were $53.4 million in 1Q 2018, an increase of $1.9 million, or 4%, from 1Q 2017 and included the fraud recovery described above.
For 1Q 2018, reported return on assets (ROA) was 2.20% and the efficiency ratio was 50.6%.

Highlights for 1Q 2018:
• | Core earnings per share (EPS)(1) of $0.76 for 1Q 2018 increased a substantial 29% from $0.59 in 1Q 2017. |
• | Core ROA(1) was 1.43% for 1Q 2018, a meaningful 28% increase compared to 1.12% for 1Q 2017. |
• | Core return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE)(1) was 18.8% for 1Q 2018 compared to 15.6% for 1Q 2017. |
• | Core net revenue(1) of $89.8 million increased $8.9 million, or 11% from 1Q 2017, reflecting strong organic growth, including a $4.6 million, or 9%, increase in core net interest income(1) and a $4.3 million, or 16% increase in core fee income (noninterest income)(1) across several business lines. |
• | The net interest margin increased a robust 11 basis points to 4.01% from 1Q 2017, as a result of continued strong organic growth, pricing discipline and balance sheet mix management. |
• | Core noninterest expense(1) increased $3.9 million, or only 8% from 1Q 2017, creating a full 3 percentage points of positive operating leverage and resulting in a core efficiency ratio(1) of 61.1%, a significant improvement compared to 62.7% for 1Q 2017. |
• | As a result of our strong core performance, the Board of Directors approved a 22% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.11 per share of common stock from the previous $0.09 per share. The cash dividend has increased $0.04 per share, or 57%, since October 2017. |

Notable items in the quarter:
• | During 1Q 2018, WSFS recorded $15.3 million of unrealized valuation gain related to our adoption of the ASU on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-01), described earlier in this release. This gain resulted from our investment in approximately 360,000 shares of Visa Class B stock. While a portion of this investment was acquired upon Visa, Inc.'s initial public offering, most of the shares were acquired over the last few years through private transactions and auctions. The cost basis of these shares was $14.1 million and we were required to revalue this investment as a result of the new ASU becoming effective this quarter, and being triggered by recently observed market transactions. |
• | WSFS recorded an initial $1.7 million pre-tax insurance recovery, net of deductible, of the $2.8 million pre-tax fraud loss recognized in 4Q 2017, and we continue to work with insurance carriers to recover additional amounts. The recovery was recorded as a reduction of noninterest expense in the quarter. |
• | We realized essentially no net gains on sales of securities and corporate development expenses in 1Q 2018, compared to $0.3 million, or less than $0.01 per share of both net gains on sales of securities and corporate development expenses in 1Q 2017. |
• | WSFS recognized $0.9 million of noninterest expense resulting from net transaction costs incurred from the early cash-out of all of its eligible Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policies during the quarter. We surrendered these long-term BOLI policies early because they diluted the Company's current ROA performance and our return expectations, as a result of the impacts of changes in the corporate tax rate and the rising interest rate environment. During the quarter, we received $96.4 million of cash proceeds from the surrender, and redeployed $60.0 million in agency mortgage-backed securities at a tax equivalent yield of 3.38%. The Company expects to invest the remaining $36.4 million in agency mortgage-backed securities during 2Q 2018. The interest income earned from reinvesting these proceeds for the remainder of 2018 is expected to more than offset the $0.9 million of net transaction costs and foregone BOLI income. |
All notable items above are excluded from core earnings, with the exception of the $0.9 million of noninterest expense resulting from the surrender of our BOLI policies.

CEO outlook and commentary
Mark A. Turner, President and CEO, said, “In addition to the strong performance of our core business during the first quarter, our results were positively impacted by the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement and the initial recovery of a fraud loss previously disclosed in 2017. The accounting change required us to recognize the value of our significant investment in Visa Class B shares and we are also pleased to have made progress in our recovery efforts related to the fraud loss.
"Our strong first quarter core results position us to achieve the primary goals in our 2016-2018 Strategic Plan, including a full year 2018 ROA of 1.50%. Core earnings growth was entirely organic, well balanced across our businesses, and included strong growth in both net interest income and fee income. For the quarter, we recorded core EPS of $0.76 and core ROA of 1.43%, which represent significant improvements from the prior year, even before the favorable impact of the recent tax rate change. Our first quarter core results also demonstrate continued optimization of previous acquisitions evidenced by a very healthy 3 percentage points of positive operating leverage compared to 1Q 2017, and a 1Q 2018 core efficiency ratio of a healthy 61.1%. We are also encouraged that we achieved many very strong results despite the first quarter typically being our seasonally slowest quarter.
“During the quarter, we were also honored to receive the 2017 Gallup Great Workplace Award for the third year in a row, in only our third year of eligibility. We believe that our intense focus on Associate and Customer engagement is the driving force behind our sustainable high performance. Our continued robust organic growth, strong financial performance, and marketplace accolades demonstrate the success of our focused strategy of ‘Engaged Associates delivering stellar experiences growing Customer Advocates and value for our Owners’.”

First Quarter 2018 Discussion of Financial Results
Net interest margin increased due to balance sheet positioning and disciplined pricing
Net interest margin for 1Q 2018 was 4.01%, an increase of 11 bps from 3.90% for 1Q 2017. Excluding a 10 bps reduction in purchased loan accretion, the net interest margin organically increased 21 bps compared to 1Q 2017, which includes an estimated 8 bps resulting from the higher short-term interest rate environment, 7 bps related to the redemption of $55.0 million of our senior notes in late 3Q 2017, and approximately 6 bps from balance sheet growth and mix. The year-over-year decline in purchased loan accretion was anticipated due to expected payments and maturities of previously acquired loans. Net interest income for 1Q 2018 was $57.7 million, an increase of $4.6 million, or 9% compared to 1Q 2017.
Net interest margin for 1Q 2018 increased 1 bp compared to 4Q 2017. A 3 bps decrease in purchased loan accretion compared to 4Q 2017 was offset by a 4 bps increase primarily resulting from the higher short-term rate environment. Net interest income was flat compared to 4Q 2017 due primarily to fewer days in 1Q 2018.
Balanced loan portfolio growth continues
At March 31, 2018, WSFS’ net loan portfolio was $4.8 billion, an increase of $14.3 million, or 1% (annualized), from December 31, 2017. The small increase includes a decline in residential mortgages of $24.9 million, reflecting our ongoing strategy of selling most newly-originated residential mortgages in the secondary market. Excluding the intentional decline in residential mortgages, net loans increased $39.2 million, or 3% (annualized), including a $24.4 million, or 18% (annualized), increase in consumer loans and a $15.1 million, or 2% (annualized), increase in total commercial loans. Our quarter-over-quarter loan growth was primarily impacted by anticipated loan payoffs in our commercial real estate portfolio, timing of loan closings between 1Q 2018 and 4Q 2017 and the highly competitive pricing environment as well as seasonal slowness in 1Q 2018.
Compared to March 31, 2017, net loans increased $240.2 million, or 5%. The overall increase includes a $50.0 million decline in residential mortgages, consistent with our ongoing strategy for these loans described above. Excluding the intentional decline in residential mortgages, net loans increased $290.2 million, or 6%, including an increase of $139.6 million, or 6%, in commercial and industrial (C&I) loans, an increase of $118.8 million, or 25%, in consumer loans, and an increase of $34.1 million, or 13%, in construction loans.

Credit quality trends remain stable and strong
Credit quality metrics during 1Q 2018 reflect continued strength in the portfolio.
Total problem assets, which includes all criticized, classified, and nonperforming loans as well as other real estate owned (OREO), were $151.8 million, or 21.1% of Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses (ALLL) at March 31, 2018, nearly flat compared to $150.3 million, or 21.3%, at December 31, 2017. Classified assets, which are included in total problem assets, decreased $4.0 million to $106.7 million at March 31, 2018 compared to $110.7 million at December 31, 2017.
Total delinquencies, which include nonperforming delinquencies, were $27.1 million at March 31, 2018, or 0.56% of gross loans, minimally changed from $25.3 million and 0.53% of gross loans at December 31, 2017. Excluding nonperforming delinquencies, performing loan delinquencies were only 0.19% of gross loans at March 31, 2018.
Total nonperforming assets decreased $2.1 million or 4% to $56.9 million at March 31, 2018, as compared to $59.0 million at December 31, 2017. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was 0.81% at March 31, 2018 compared to 0.84% at December 31, 2017.
Net charge-offs for 1Q 2018 were $3.4 million, or 0.29%, (annualized) of average gross loans, a decrease from $3.7 million, or 0.31% (annualized), in 4Q 2017, and an increase from $2.1 million, or 0.19% (annualized), during 1Q 2017. Total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan workout expenses, OREO expenses and other credit costs) were $4.1 million for 1Q 2018, flat compared to $4.1 million during 4Q 2017 and an increase from $2.8 million during 1Q 2017.
| WSFS Bank Center 500 Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 | 7 | ||
The ratio of the ALLL to total gross loans was 0.84% at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Excluding the balances for acquired loans (marked-to-market at acquisition), the ALLL to total gross loans ratio would have been 0.96% at March 31, 2018 compared with 0.97% at December 31, 2017. The ALLL was 120% of nonaccruing loans at March 31, 2018 compared to 111% at December 31, 2017 and 100% at March 31, 2017.
Customer funding reflects expected seasonality
Total customer funding was $4.9 billion at March 31, 2018, a $69.2 million, or 6% (annualized), decrease from December 31, 2017. The decline in deposits includes a $55.0 million decrease in public funding account balances, which is consistent with historical seasonal trends. In addition, during 1Q 2018, we continued to take the opportunity to attract longer-term, fixed-rate funding and lengthen our overall portfolio duration in a rising rate environment. As a result, CDs increased $13.0 million, or 8% (annualized) in 1Q 2018.
Customer funding decreased $151.2 million, or 3% compared to March 31, 2017. Customer funding balances at March 31, 2017 were positively impacted by one large short-term trust deposit of $352.4 million that was received late in 1Q 2017. Excluding the impact of this deposit, customer funding at March 31, 2018 increased $201.2 million, or 4% compared to March 31, 2017. This included a core deposit increase of $129.3 million, or 3% over the prior year, with $125.3 million attributable to no- and low-cost checking deposit accounts. CDs also increased $71.9 million over the prior year consistent with our strategy to attract longer-term, fixed-rate funding in a rising rate environment.
Core deposits were 87% of total customer deposits, and no- and low-cost checking deposit accounts represent a robust 48% of total customer deposits at March 31, 2018. These core deposits predominantly represent longer-term, less price-sensitive customer relationships, which are valuable in a rising-rate environment. The ratio of loans to customer deposits was 97% at March 31, 2018.

Strong and diversified organic core fee income growth
Core fee income (noninterest income) increased by $4.3 million, or 16%, to $32.1 million compared to 1Q 2017. All of this growth was organic, demonstrating our ability to execute on our high-service, fee-based strategy. These strong results represent growth across all of our businesses and include increases of $1.7 million from credit/debit card and ATM income, $1.2 million from investment management and fiduciary revenue, $1.0 million related to our traditional banking business, and $0.6 million from mortgage banking.
When compared to 4Q 2017, core fee income decreased $0.1 million, or less than 0.1% (not annualized), due primarily to a $0.2 million decline in BOLI fee income associated with the early surrender of our BOLI policies during 1Q 2018. The quarter-over-quarter core fee income results are relatively strong, when considering the first quarter has fewer days and is impacted by normal seasonal declines in deposit service charges and other similar transactional banking activities.
For 1Q 2018, core fee income was 35.6% of core net revenue, compared to 34.3% for 1Q 2017, and was well diversified among various sources, including traditional banking, mortgage banking, wealth management and cash logistics services (Cash Connect®).

Noninterest expenses reflect improved efficiency
Core noninterest expense for 1Q 2018 was $55.1 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 8%, from $51.2 million in 1Q 2017. Contributing to the year-over-year increase was $1.1 million of higher costs to support Cash Connect® revenue growth, the previously described $0.9 million of net transaction costs incurred from the surrender of the Company’s BOLI policies during the quarter, $0.8 million of higher compensation and benefit costs to support overall franchise growth, and $1.1 million of higher other operating costs to support growth in our balance sheet and fee-based businesses.
When compared to 4Q 2017, core noninterest expense increased $3.4 million. Contributing to the quarter-over-quarter increase was $1.7 million of higher compensation and related costs, $0.9 million of net transaction costs from the surrender of our BOLI policies described above, $0.4 million from higher occupancy costs, and a $0.3 million vendor credit that was recorded in 4Q 2017. The increase in compensation and occupancy costs reflects typical seasonality related to taxes and other benefits, such as 401(k) matching costs, the payment of incentives, annual merit increases and the reset of employer tax caps during the first quarter, as well as higher weather-related maintenance costs associated with our physical locations.
Our core efficiency ratio was 61.1% in 1Q 2018, seasonally higher compared to 57.0% in 4Q 2017, and a substantial improvement compared to 62.7% in 1Q 2017. The year-over-year improvement reflects successful optimization of our acquisition-related and organic growth and continued economies of scale as we grow.
Income taxes
The Company recorded a $10.8 million income tax provision in 1Q 2018, compared to provisions of $27.9 million in 4Q 2017 and $8.6 million in 1Q 2017.
The effective tax rate was 22.4% in 1Q 2018, 154.5% in 4Q 2017, and 31.2% in 1Q 2017. The higher tax rate in 4Q 2017 was due to previously disclosed transactions related to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The lower year-over-year tax rate reflects the reduction of the corporate federal tax rate beginning in 1Q 2018 offset modestly by lower tax benefits realized from stock-based compensation compared to 1Q 2017.

Total Wealth Management revenue (net interest income, fiduciary fees and other fee income) was $12.9 million for 1Q 2018. This represented an increase of $1.3 million, or 11% compared to 1Q 2017 and a decrease of $0.3 million, or 2% compared to 4Q 2017. Included in the year-over-year increase is fee revenue, which increased $1.3 million, or 15%, compared to 1Q 2017. The year-over-year increase reflects continued organic growth across our business lines, with particular strength in the capital markets and corporate trust services businesses.
Total noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations and provision for loan losses and credit costs) was $8.1 million during 1Q 2018 compared to $8.3 million during 1Q 2017 and $20.4 million during 4Q 2017. The year-over-year decrease was primarily the result of reduced provision for loan losses and other credit costs, partially offset by increased incentive compensation expense, due to higher revenue, and other costs necessary to support the growth of the Wealth Management business. The decrease in expenses from 4Q 2017 was due almost exclusively to a previously disclosed legal settlement of $12 million in 4Q 2017 in the Christiana Trust business line.
Pre-tax income in 1Q 2018 was $4.8 million compared to $3.3 million in 1Q 2017 and a loss of $7.1 million in 4Q 2017 and was driven by the above mentioned factors.
(2) AUM includes $164.2 million of Christiana Trust assets for which Cypress serves as sub-adviser.

Cash Connect® net revenue increases 12% over same quarter 2017
Cash Connect® is a premier provider of ATM vault cash and smart safe cash logistics services in the United States. Cash Connect® services over 23,000 non-bank ATMs and retail safes nationwide with over $963 million in cash and other fee-based services. Cash Connect® also operates 441 ATMs for WSFS Bank, which has the largest branded ATM network in Delaware.
Our Cash Connect® division recorded $9.5 million of net revenue (fee income less funding costs) in 1Q 2018, an increase of $1.0 million, or 12%, from 1Q 2017, primarily due to continued growth in the bailment, cash management and smart safe lines of business, partially offset by higher funding costs. Net revenue was unchanged from 4Q 2017.
Non-interest expense (including intercompany allocations of expense) was $8.0 million in 1Q 2018, an increase of $1.1 million compared to 1Q 2017 and an increase of $0.5 million compared to 4Q 2017. The year-over-year increase in expenses was primarily due to higher operating costs associated with growth, higher off balance sheet funding costs, and investment in enhancing our smart safe technology platform. Cash Connect® reported pre-tax income of $1.5 million for 1Q 2018, which was a decrease of $0.1 million, or 8% from 1Q 2017 and a decrease of $0.4 million in 1Q 2018 compared to 4Q 2017 as a result of margin compression from rising funding costs.
In 2018, Cash Connect® primarily remains strategically focused on expanding both ATM and smart safe managed services to offset margin compression resulting from the ATM industry consolidation trend and pressure generated by higher funding costs. Cash Connect® is focused on improving ROA by driving operational efficiencies and leveraging more off-balance sheet cash. Cash Connect® continues to drive strong growth to its smart safe network with 1,774 safes serviced, up from 970 safes at the end of first quarter 2017. Additionally Cash Connect has a robust pipeline of smart safe opportunities generated by several national channel partners, which include independent sales organizations, smart safe manufacturers, armored carriers, and other financial institutions.

WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity increased $21.9 million, or 3% (not annualized), to $746.3 million at March 31, 2018 from $724.3 million at December 31, 2017, primarily due to quarterly earnings, partially offset by the negative impact of market-value changes on available-for-sale securities, stock buybacks and the payment of the common stock dividend during the quarter.
WSFS’ tangible common equity(3) increased by 4% (not annualized) to $558.5 million at March 31, 2018 from $535.9 million at December 31, 2017 for the reasons described in the paragraph above.
WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio was 10.68% at March 31, 2018, and its tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio(3) increased by 34 bps during the quarter to 8.21%. At March 31, 2018, book value per share was $23.72, a $0.66 increase from December 31, 2017, and tangible common book value per share(4) was $17.75, a $0.69 increase from December 31, 2017.
At March 31, 2018, WSFS Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.10%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.73%, and Total Capital ratio of 12.45%, were all substantially in excess of the “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks.
In 1Q 2018, WSFS repurchased 70,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $49.69 as part of our 5% buyback program approved by the Board of Directors in 4Q 2015. WSFS has 629,194 shares, or more than 2% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under this current authorization.
As a result of our strong performance, the Board of Directors approved a 22%, or $0.02 per share, increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.11 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on May 25, 2018 to stockholders of record as of May 11, 2018.
(3) As used in this release, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to assets and tangible common book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of these measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see pages 20 and 21 of this press release.

(o) | The Company uses non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial information in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. The Company’s management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the Company’s financial performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. 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. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures, see pages 20 and 21 of this press release. |
(p) | Calculated for Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB. |
(q) | Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive shares except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, 884,982 shares were anti-dilutive and were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. |
