CEO Commentary

Rodger Levenson, Chairman, CEO and President, said, "WSFS performed very well in the second quarter with a core EPS⁽²⁾ of $1.27 and a core ROA⁽²⁾ of 1.38%. These results were driven by continued strong performance in our fee-based businesses, with 9% quarter-over-quarter growth in core fee revenue⁽²⁾ driven by our Wealth and Trust, WSFS Mortgage, Capital Markets, and Banking businesses. The net interest margin of 3.89% improved 1bp from the previous quarter and Client deposits grew 6% (annualized) compared to 1Q 2025, primarily from the Trust business. We also had solid growth in C&I loan fundings along with our WSFS-originated Consumer Lending portfolio.

"Our performance provides momentum as we enter the second half of the year, as reflected in our updated FY 2025 outlook.

"Once again, we were honored to be recognized as a Top Workplace by the Philadelphia Inquirer for the tenth time. This award reflects the dedication of our over 2,300 Associates and our continued commitment to our Mission of 'We Stand for Service'."

Highlights for 2Q 2025:

• Core EPS was $1.27 and core ROA was 1.38% compared to $1.13 and 1.29% for 1Q 2025.
• Core PPNR⁽³⁾ of $107.8 million compared to $104.6 million for 1Q 2025.
• Continued strong net interest margin of 3.89%, compared to 3.88% for 1Q 2025.
• Core Fee Revenue increased $7.1 million, or 9% (not annualized), compared to 1Q 2025 driven by Institutional Trust and The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware (BMT of DE).
• Total net credit costs were $14.3 million, compared to $17.6 million for 1Q 2025, reflecting lower net charge-offs for the quarter.
• Client deposits increased 1% (6% annualized) compared to 1Q 2025, driven by an increase in Trust deposits.
• Announced the sale of the majority of the unsecured consumer lending portfolio generated through our partnership with Upstart on July 8th. This transaction accelerates the disposition of a non-strategic portfolio that has been in runoff mode.
• WSFS repurchased 1,556,199 shares of common stock (2.7% of outstanding shares as of 1Q 2025) at an average price of $49.93 per share, totaling an aggregate of $77.7 million, and paid quarterly dividends of $9.6 million, for a total capital return of $87.3 million.

Second Quarter 2025 Discussion of Financial Results

Balance Sheet

The following table summarizes loan and lease balances and composition at June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024:

At June 30, 2025, WSFS鈥� gross loan and lease portfolio decreased $10.7 million, or less than 1%, when compared with March 31, 2025. During the quarter, WSFS transferred Upstart loans with an outstanding book balance of $98.1 million to loans held for sale, resulting in a write-down of $8.1 million. Excluding the Upstart and Spring EQ runoff portfolios, gross loans and leases increased $65.5 million, or 1% (2% annualized). The increase was primarily driven by growth in C&I (7% annualized), WSFS-originated consumer loans (23% annualized), and residential mortgage (10% annualized). Partially offsetting the increases was a decrease in commercial mortgage, reflecting payoffs of several large loans within multifamily and office. Construction declined by 1%, as new fundings were mainly offset by conversions to the C&I and commercial mortgage portfolios.

Gross loans and leases at June 30, 2025 decreased $46.7 million, or less than 1%, when compared with June 30, 2024. Excluding the impacts of the Upstart and Spring EQ runoff portfolios, loans and leases increased $138.6 million, or 1%. The increase was driven by growth of $131.6 million, or 3%, in C&I, $97.9 million, or 11%, in WSFS-originated consumer loans, and $80.2 million, or 9%, in residential mortgage. The growth in consumer and mortgage loans reflects momentum in our newly combined Home Lending business where we continue to invest in talent and product capabilities.

The following table summarizes client deposit balances and composition at June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024:

Total client deposits increased by $242.4 million, or 1% (6% annualized), when compared with March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in Trust deposits, partially offset by decreases in Commercial and seasonal municipal interest demand deposits. Noninterest demand deposits comprised 32% of average total client deposits, a 2% increase compared with March 31, 2025, reflecting the strength of our deposit base.

Total client deposits increased by $830.4 million, or 5%, from June 30, 2024, driven by broad-based growth across the Trust, Consumer, and Commercial businesses, with growth in noninterest demand, money market, and time deposits. Noninterest demand deposits increased 11% compared to June 30, 2024.

The deposit base remains well-diversified, with 51% of quarterly average client deposits coming from the Commercial, Small Business, and Wealth and Trust businesses. No- and low-cost checking accounts represented 47% of total client deposits with a weighted average cost of 36bps for the quarter. The loan-to-deposit ratio⁽⁵⁾ was 76% at June 30, 2025, providing continued capacity to fund future loan growth.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $4.3 million, or 2% (not annualized), compared to 1Q 2025, driven by deposit repricing actions, higher cash balances from growth in noninterest deposits, and continued wholesale funding optimization, partially offset by the reduction of interest income associated with the Upstart sale. Net interest income increased $5.0 million compared to 2Q 2024, driven by lower wholesale funding and deposit costs as well as higher cash balances from deposit growth. The increase was partially offset by lower loan yields due to rate cuts in 2H 2024.

Total loan yields were 6.60%, a decrease of 7bps when compared to 1Q 2025, driven by the impact from the Upstart sale mentioned above. Total client deposit costs were 1.63%, a decrease of 8bps, while interest-bearing deposit costs were 2.38%, a decrease of 5bps, each compared to the prior quarter. The deposit cost decreases reflect deposit repricing actions.

Net interest margin of 3.89%, an increase of 1bp compared to 1Q 2025 and 4bps from 2Q 2024, reflects the aforementioned deposit repricing actions and a reduction in wholesale funding, partially offset by the lower loan yields mentioned above.

Asset Quality

Problem assets were flat compared to March 31, 2025, while nonperforming assets decreased $10.7 million, or 6bps of total assets, compared to March 31, 2025, primarily due to the payoff of a C&I credit.

Delinquencies of $158.0 million, or 122bps of gross loans, increased $10.2 million, or 9bps, compared to March 31, 2025. One relationship accounted for $5.7 million of the increase and fully paid off in July.

Net charge-offs decreased $14.8 million to $9.8 million, or 30bps (annualized) of average gross loans, during the quarter. Net charge-offs in the quarter included the impact of the Upstart sale. Excluding Upstart, total net charge-offs were $4.5 million (14bps annualized) primarily driven by NewLane, with minimal net charge-offs in Commercial as recoveries largely offset losses.

Total net credit costs were $14.3 million in the quarter, a decrease of $3.3 million, compared to $17.6 million in 1Q 2025. Credit costs for the quarter included $6.3 million of additional reserves on two previously identified nonperforming loans as well as a $4.1 million increase related to accounts receivable within the Wealth and Trust segment, which includes $2.3 million in reserves and $1.8 million for charge-offs.

The ACL on loans and leases was $186.3 million as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.2 million from March 31, 2025, driven by the impacts from the Upstart sale. The ACL coverage ratio remained flat at 1.43%.

Core Fee Revenue

Core fee revenue (noninterest income) of $88.0 million increased $7.1 million, or 9% (not annualized), compared to $80.9 million from 1Q 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $4.6 million, or 12% (not annualized), increase in Wealth and Trust revenue, with double-digit increases in Institutional Services and BMT of DE. The quarter also included $2.3 million of revenue from Spring EQ (related to the annual earnout from the previously announced sale) as well as an increase of $0.5 million from WSFS Mortgage.

Core fee revenue increased $2.0 million, or 2%, compared to 2Q 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a 17% increase in Wealth and Trust as well as the Spring EQ earnout. The increase was partially offset by a decline in Cash Connect^庐 and Capital Markets fees. The decline in Cash Connect^庐 was primarily due to the lower interest rate environment (which was more than offset in expenses) and lower ATM bailment volume.

For 2Q 2025, our core fee revenue ratio⁽⁷⁾ was 32.8% compared to 31.5% in 1Q 2025 and 33.0% in 2Q 2024. Fee revenue is a competitive differentiator providing a well-diversified source of revenue with further growth opportunities expected.

Core Noninterest Expense⁽⁸⁾

Core noninterest expense of $159.7 million increased $8.2 million, or 5% (not annualized), compared to 1Q 2025, as the first quarter included certain one-time credits. Excluding the impact of these credits (approximately $4.0 million), the increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and benefits, technology costs, loan workout and other credit costs. The results for the quarter also included $1.6 million of one-time insurance recoveries at Cash Connect^庐 primarily related to losses associated with a client termination in 4Q 2024.

Core noninterest expense increased $3.7 million, or 2%, compared to 2Q 2024. The increase was largely driven by $5.9 million in higher salaries and benefits as a result of talent additions in key business areas and performance-based increases, as well as a $2.9 million increase in loan workout and other credit costs and $1.7 million from technology costs. These increases were partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease in Cash Connect^庐 external funding costs, due to lower rates and volumes, as well as the $1.6 million of insurance recoveries mentioned above.

Our core efficiency ratio⁽⁸⁾ was 59.6% in 2Q 2025, compared to 59.0% in 1Q 2025 and 59.8% in 2Q 2024.

Income Taxes

We recorded a $23.3 million income tax provision in 2Q 2025, compared to $21.1 million in 1Q 2025 and $21.3 million in 2Q 2024. The increase compared to 1Q 2025 was primarily due to higher income before taxes and the increase compared to 2Q 2024 was primarily due to certain tax credits in 2024.

The effective tax rate was 24.4% in 2Q 2025 compared to 24.3% in 1Q 2025 and 23.5% in 2Q 2024. The increase in effective tax rate compared to 2Q 2024 is attributable to higher state taxes and reduced federal tax credits.

Capital Management

Capital ratios remain strong and are all substantially in excess of the 鈥渨ell-capitalized鈥� regulatory benchmarks at June 30, 2025, with a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.07%, Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.04%, and Total Risk-based capital ratio of 15.86%.

WSFS鈥� total stockholders鈥� equity increased $11.1 million, or less than 1% (not annualized), during 2Q 2025. The increase was primarily due to quarterly earnings of $72.3 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $27.3 million, driven by market-value increases on available-for-sale investment securities. The increase was mostly offset by capital returns to stockholders of $87.3 million (comprised of $77.7 million from share repurchases and $9.6 million from quarterly dividends).

WSFS鈥� tangible common equity⁽⁹⁾ increased $17.5 million, or 1% (not annualized), compared to March 31, 2025, primarily due to the reasons described above. WSFS鈥� common equity to assets ratio decreased 8bps to 12.92% during the quarter, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio⁽⁹⁾ was 8.62% at June 30, 2025, a decrease of 1bp, compared to the prior quarter.

At June 30, 2025, book value per share was $47.71, an increase of $1.40, or 3% (not annualized), from March 31, 2025, and tangible book value per share was $30.32, an increase of $1.07, or 4% (not annualized), from March 31, 2025. These increases were due to the reasons described above. Book value per share increased $5.70, or 14%, and tangible book value per share increased $5.12, or 20%, compared to 2Q 2024.

During 2Q 2025, WSFS repurchased 1,556,199 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $77.7 million. As of June 30, 2025, WSFS has 6,477,775 shares, or approximately 12% of outstanding shares, available for repurchase under its current authorizations. For the year, total capital returned to stockholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends was $149.9 million.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on August 22, 2025 to stockholders of record as of August 8, 2025.

Selected Business Segments (included in previous results):

Wealth and Trust

The Wealth and Trust segment provides a broad array of planning and advisory services, investment management, trust services, credit and deposit products to individual, corporate, and institutional Clients.

Wealth and Trust pre-tax income was $30.7 million, which increased $1.4 million, or 5% (not annualized), compared to 1Q 2025. Increases in fee revenue and net interest income were partially offset by higher provision due to an adjustment to the ACL for accounts receivable, reflecting significant growth in the business as well as continued enhancements to our methodology. Fee revenue increased due to transaction and account growth in Institutional Services and BMT of DE, while Private Wealth Management fees grew primarily due to a seasonal increase in tax activity. Total noninterest expense was $2.4 million higher than 1Q 2025 due to higher compensation and legal expenses.

Wealth and Trust pre-tax income increased $2.2 million, or 8%, compared to 2Q 2024. Total revenue increased $10.9 million, or 19%, driven by a $6.3 million, or 17%, increase in fee revenue, primarily related to Institutional Services and BMT of DE, and a $4.6 million, or 25%, increase in net interest income due to higher deposit balances in Institutional Services. Provision increased by $4.4 million due to the increase in ACL noted above. Noninterest expense of $32.3 million increased $4.3 million primarily due to investments in talent, including two lift-out teams, as well as legal expenses.

Selected quarterly financial results and metrics are as follows:

Cash Connect^庐 pre-tax income increased $1.7 million compared to 1Q 2025, driven by $1.6 million of one-time insurance recoveries during the quarter, primarily related to the client termination losses from 4Q 2024. Excluding those recoveries, pre-tax income was essentially flat. Net revenue decreased $0.3 million from 1Q 2025 driven by lower bailment volumes, which were more than offset in expenses.

Excluding the aforementioned insurance recoveries, pre-tax income decreased $0.3 million compared to 2Q 2024 driven by lower ATM bailment units and managed service volume, partially offset by pricing actions and lower expense associated with non-earning cash. Net revenue decreased $6.4 million driven by the lower rate environment (which was more than offset in expenses) as well as lower volumes. Noninterest expense decreased $7.7 million from 2Q 2024 driven by lower rate environment and funding volumes, as well as the previously referenced insurance recovery.
