FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and exhibits hereto, contains estimates, predictions, opinions, projections and other “forward-looking statements” as that phrase is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, without limitation, references to the Company’s predictions or expectations of future business or financial performance as well as its goals and objectives for future operations, financial and business trends, business prospects and management’s outlook or expectations for earnings, revenues, expenses, capital levels, liquidity levels, asset quality or other future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project” and similar expressions, among others, generally identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions (some of which may be beyond the Company’s control) and are subject to risks and uncertainties (which change over time) and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
•
volatile market conditions and uncertain economic trends in the United States generally and in financial markets, particularly in the markets in which the Company operates and in which its loans are concentrated, including potential recessionary and other unfavorable conditions and trends related to housing markets, costs of living, unemployment levels, interest rates, supply chain issues, the United States government shutdown, inflation, and economic growth;
•
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;
•
the credit risk associated with the substantial amount of commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and construction and land development loans in the Company's loan portfolio;
•
changes in market interest rates, which may lead to reduced margin as a result of increased funding costs and/or reduced earning asset yields;
•
changes in 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, which could impact market confidence in the Company's operations;
•
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;
•
the impacts related to or resulting from bank failures and other economic and industry volatility, including potential changes in regulatory requirements and costs and potential impacts to macroeconomic conditions;
•
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 success of the Company's growth plans;
•
failure of the financial and/or operational controls of the Company’s Cash Connect
®
and/or Wealth and Trust segments;
•
negative perceptions or publicity with respect to the Company generally and, in particular, the Company’s Wealth and Trust segment;
•
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 remote working arrangements;
•
the Company’s ability to recruit and retain key Associates;
•
the effects of weather, including climate change, and natural disasters such as floods, droughts, wind, tornadoes, wildfires 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);
•
possible changes in the speed of loan prepayments by the Company’s Clients and loan origination or sales volumes;
3
•
possible changes in market valuations and/or 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, pay dividends to its stockholders, and repurchase shares of its common stock;
•
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;
•
any compounding effects or unexpected interactions of the risks discussed above; and
•
other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") from time to time.
The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company disclaims any duty to revise or update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company for any reason, except as specifically required by law.
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “WSFS”, “the Company”, “registrant”, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean WSFS Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, unless the context indicates otherwise.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Royal Bancshares Capital Trust I, and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II
. WSFS Bank has
two
wholly-owned subsidiaries: Beneficial Equipment Finance Corporation (BEFC) and 1832 Holdings, Inc.
,

Basis of Presentation
In preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Amounts subject to significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses (including loans and leases held for investment, investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, as well as accounts receivable for fee businesses), loans held for sale, lending-related commitments, goodwill, intangible assets, post-retirement benefit obligations, the fair value of financial instruments, and income taxes. Among other effects, changes to these estimates could result in future impairments of investment securities, goodwill and/or intangible assets, the establishment of additional allowance and lending-related commitment reserves, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, as well as increased post-retirement benefits and income tax expense.
The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (GAAP), prevailing practices within the banking industry for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X (Rule 10-01). Rule 10-01 does not require us to include all information and notes that would be required in audited financial statements. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2025. These unaudited, interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K) that was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025 and is available at
www.sec.gov
or on the website at
www.wsfsbank.com
. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Those significant accounting policies remain unchanged at September 30, 2025.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The following accounting pronouncement was adopted by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2025, but did not have a material impact on the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (ASU 2025-05):
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, which provides a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts when estimating expected credit losses. The amendments will be applied prospectively.
There were no other applicable material accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company since December 31, 2024.
Accounting Guidance Pending Adoption as of September 30, 2025
ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09):
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is finalizing its assessment of this update and the impact on its disclosures and will adopt this guidance beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025.
ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2024-03):
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to their financial statements on an annual and interim basis. Subsequently, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01— Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, making ASU 2024-03 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this update to determine the impact on the Company’s disclosures.

3. NONINTEREST INCOME
Credit/debit card and ATM income
The following table presents the components of credit/debit card and ATM income:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||

$ |
|
$ |
|
|||||||||||||||
Credit/debit card and ATM income is composed of bailment fees, interchange fees, and other card and ATM fees. Bailment fees are earned from bailment arrangements with clients. Bailment arrangements are legal relationships in which property is delivered to another party without a transfer of ownership. The party who transferred the property (the bailor) retains ownership interest of the property. In the event that the bailee files for bankruptcy protection, the property is not included in the bailee's assets. The bailee pays an agreed-upon fee for the use of the bailor's property in exchange for the bailor allowing use of the assets at the bailee's site. Bailment fees are earned from cash that is made available for clients' use at an offsite location, such as cash located in an ATM at a client's place of business. These fees are typically indexed to a market interest rate. This revenue stream generates fee income through monthly billing for bailment services.
Credit/debit card and ATM income also includes interchange fees. Interchange fees are paid by a merchant's bank to a bank that issued a debit or credit card used in a transaction to compensate the issuing bank for the value and benefit the merchant receives from accepting electronic payments. These revenue streams generate fee income at the time a transaction occurs and are recorded as revenue at the time of the transaction.
Investment management and fiduciary income
The following table presents the components of investment management and fiduciary income:

| Total investment management and fiduciary income | $ |

|
$ |
|
|||||||||||||||
Investment management and fiduciary income is composed of trust fees and wealth management and advisory fees. Trust fees are based on revenue earned from custody, escrow, trustee and trustee related services on structured finance transactions; indenture trustee, administrative agent, paying agent and collateral agent services to individuals, institutions and corporations; commercial domicile and independent director services; and investment and trustee services to families and individuals. Most fees are flat fees, except for a portion of personal and corporate trustee fees where the Company earns a percentage on the assets under management or assets held within a trust. This revenue stream primarily generates fee income through monthly, quarterly and annual billings for services provided.
Wealth management and advisory fees consists of fees from Bryn Mawr Trust
®
, BMTA, WSFS Wealth Management, LLC (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025), and WSFS Wealth
®
Investments. Wealth management and advisory fees are based on revenue earned from services including asset management, financial planning, family office, and brokerage. The fees are based on the market value of assets, are assessed as a flat fee, or are brokerage commissions. This revenue stream primarily generates fee income through monthly, quarterly and annual billings for the services.

Deposit service charges includes revenue earned from core deposit products, certificates of deposit, and brokered deposits. The Company generates fee revenues from deposit service charges primarily through service charges and overdraft fees. Service charges consist primarily of monthly account maintenance fees, treasury management fees, foreign ATM fees and other maintenance fees. All of these revenue streams generate fee income through service charges for monthly account maintenance and similar items, transfer fees, late fees, overlimit fees, and stop payment fees. Revenue is recorded at the time of the transaction.

Other income consists of managed service fees, which are primarily courier fees related to cash management, currency preparation, ATM loss protection, Capital Markets revenue, and other miscellaneous products and services offered by the Bank. These fees are primarily generated through monthly billings or at the time of the transaction. Capital Markets revenue consists of fees related to interest rate swaps, risk participation agreements, foreign exchange contracts, letters of credit, and trade finance products and services offered by the Bank.
Arrangements with multiple performance obligations
The Company's contracts with clients may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to clients.
Practical expedients and exemptions
The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities.
MBS may have expected maturities that differ from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because issuers may have the right to call securities and borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalty.
The held-to-maturity debt securities are not collateral-dependent securities as these are general obligation bonds issued by cities, states, counties, or other local governments, and government-sponsored MBS.
Investment securities with fair market values aggregating $
3.7
billion and $
3.3
billion were pledged as collateral for investment sweep repurchase agreements, municipal deposits, and other obligations as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company does not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell these securities before it is able to recover the amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses are the result of changes in market interest rates subsequent to purchase, not credit loss, as these are highly rated agency securities with no expected credit loss, in the event of a default. As a result, there is
no
allowance for credit losses recorded for available-for-sale debt securities as of September 30, 2025.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, held-to-maturity debt securities had an amortized cost basis of $
1.0
billion. The held-to-maturity debt security portfolio primarily consists of mortgage-backed securities which were issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies and highly rated municipal bonds. The Company monitors credit quality of its non-government and non-agency securities through credit ratings.

Credit Quality Indicators
Below is a description of each of the risk ratings for all commercial loans:
•
Pass
. These borrowers currently show no indication of deterioration or potential problems and their loans are considered fully collectible.
•
Special Mention.
These borrowers have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. Borrowers in this category may be experiencing adverse operating trends, for example, declining revenues or margins, high leverage, tight liquidity, or increasing inventory without increasing sales. These adverse trends can have a potential negative effect on the borrower’s repayment capacity. These assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to significant risk that would warrant a more severe rating. Borrowers in this category may also be experiencing significant management problems, pending litigation, or other structural credit weaknesses.
•
Substandard or Lower
. These borrowers have well-defined weaknesses that require extensive oversight by management. Borrowers in this category may exhibit one or more of the following: inadequate debt service coverage, unprofitable operations, insufficient liquidity, high leverage, and weak or inadequate capitalization. Relationships in this category are not adequately protected by the sound financial worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged on the loan, if any. A distinct possibility exists that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. In addition, some borrowers in this category could have the added characteristic that the possibility of loss is extremely high. Current circumstances in the credit relationship make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable. Such impending events include: perfecting liens on additional collateral, obtaining collateral valuations, an acquisition or liquidation preceding, proposed merger, or refinancing plan.
Residential and Consumer Loans
The residential and consumer loan portfolios are monitored on an ongoing basis using delinquency information and loan type as credit quality indicators. These credit quality indicators are assessed in the aggregate in these relatively homogeneous portfolios. Loans that are greater than
90
days past due are generally considered nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status.
26
The following tables provide an analysis of loans by portfolio segment based on the credit quality indicators used to determine the allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2025.

Troubled Loans
The Company offers loan modifications to commercial and consumer borrowers that may result in a term extension, payment delay, interest rate reduction, principal forgiveness, or combination thereof. Loan modifications are offered on a case-by-case basis and are generally term extension, payment delay, and interest rate reduction modification types. Forbearance (due to hardship) programs result in modification types including payment delay and/or term extension. In addition, certain reorganization bankruptcy judgments may result in interest rate reduction, term extension, or principal forgiveness modification types.
The following tables show the period-end amortized cost basis of troubled loans modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, disaggregated by portfolio segment and type of modification granted:

(1)
Represents the weighted-average increase in the life of modified loans measured in years, which reduces monthly payment amounts for borrowers.
(2)
Represents the percentage of loans deferred over the total loan portfolio excluding reverse mortgages at fair value.
(3)
Represents the weighted-average decrease in the contractual interest rate on the modified loans.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had commitments to extend credit of $
4.0
million and $
18.6
million, respectively, to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose terms had been modified.
30
Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is charged off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.
The following tables show the amortized cost of loans that received a modification that had a payment default during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and were modified in the 12 months before default to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Other Accounts Receivable
The Company determines the allowance for other accounts receivable (e.g. fee-related receivables) considering historical loss information and other available indicators. In certain cases where there are no historical or current indicators of an expected credit loss, we may estimate the reserve to be close to zero. The allowance for credit losses related to other accounts receivable was $
2.3
million as of September 30, 2025.

8. LEASES
As a lessee, the Company enters into leases for its bank branches, corporate offices, and certain equipment. As a lessor, the Company primarily provides financing through its equipment leasing business.
Lessee
The Company's ongoing leases have remaining lease terms of less than
one year
to
20
years, which includes renewal options that are reasonably expected to be exercised at its discretion. The Company's lease terms to calculate the lease liability and right-of-use asset include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The lease liability and right-of-use asset is included in
Other liabilities
and
Other assets
, respectively, in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expense is included in
Occupancy expense
in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company accounts for lease components separately from nonlease components. The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties.
The components of operating lease cost were as follows:

9. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In accordance with ASC 805,
Business Combinations
(ASC 805) and ASC 350,
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other
(ASC 350), all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and other intangibles are recorded at fair value as of acquisition date.
WSFS performs its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In between annual tests, management performs a qualitative review of goodwill quarterly as part of the Company's review of the overall business to ensure no events or circumstances have occurred that would impact its goodwill evaluation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, management determined based on its qualitative assessment that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values, and
no
goodwill impairment existed.
The following table shows the allocation of goodwill to the reportable operating segments for purposes of goodwill impairment testing:

12. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
ASC 820-10,
Fair Value Measurement
(ASC 820-10) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
•
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.
•
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
•
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
37
The following tables present financial instruments carried at fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 by level in the valuation hierarchy (as described above):

Fair value is based on quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on internally developed models or obtained from third parties that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include unobservable parameters. The Company's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes its valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Available-for-sale securities
Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The Company believes that this Level 2 designation is appropriate under ASC 820-10, as these securities are GSEs and GNMA securities with almost all fixed income securities, none are exchange traded, and all are priced by correlation to observed market data. For these securities the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, U.S. government and agency yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other factors.
Other investments
Other investments includes equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which are categorized as Level 3. The Company’s equity investments without readily determinable fair values are held at cost, and are adjusted for any observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer during the reporting period.
Other real estate owned
Other real estate owned consists of loan collateral which has been repossessed through foreclosure or other measures. Initially, foreclosed assets are recorded at the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically and the assets may be marked down further, reflecting a new cost basis. The fair value of other real estate owned was estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals obtained from third parties.
Loans held for sale
The fair value of loans held for sale is based on estimates using Level 2 inputs. These inputs are based on pricing information obtained from wholesale mortgage banks and brokers and applied to loans with similar interest rates and maturities or market bids obtained from potential buyers.
Other assets
Other assets include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, and risk participation agreements. Valuation of interest rate products is obtained from an independent pricing service and also from the derivative counterparty. Valuation of the derivative related to the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline is based on valuation of the loans held for sale portfolio as described above in
Loans held for sale
. Valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts and risk participation agreements are obtained from an independent pricing service.
Other liabilities
Other liabilities include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, risk participation agreements, and derivative related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares. Valuation of interest rate products is obtained from an independent pricing service and also from the derivative counterparty. Valuation of the derivative related to the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline is based on valuation of the loans held for sale portfolio as described above in
Loans held for sale.
Valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts and risk participation agreements are obtained from an independent pricing service. Valuation of the derivative related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares is based on: (i) the agreed upon graduated fee structure; (ii) the length of time until the resolution of the Visa covered litigation; and (iii) the estimated impact of dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B shares resulting from changes in the Visa covered litigation.
39
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The reported fair values of financial instruments are based on a variety of factors. In certain cases, fair values represent quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments. In other cases, fair values have been estimated based on assumptions regarding the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows that are discounted to reflect current market rates and varying degrees of risk. Accordingly, the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of period-end or that will be realized in the future.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash
For cash and short-term investment securities, including due from banks, federal funds sold or purchased under agreements to resell and interest-bearing deposits with other banks, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment securities
Investment securities include debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Fair value is estimated using quoted prices for similar securities, which the Company obtains from a third-party vendor. The Company uses one of the largest providers of securities pricing to the industry and management periodically assesses the inputs used by this vendor to price the various types of securities owned by the Company to validate the vendor’s methodology as described above in available-for-sale securities.
Other investments
Other investments includes equity investments without readily determinable fair values (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above) as well as equity method investments.
Loans held for sale
Loans held for sale are carried at their fair value (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above).
Loans and leases
Loans and leases are segregated by portfolio segments with similar financial characteristics. The fair values of loans and leases, with the exception of reverse mortgages, are estimated by discounting expected cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with comparable credit ratings and for similar remaining maturities. The fair values of reverse mortgages are based on the net present value of the expected cash flows using a discount rate specific to the reverse mortgages portfolio. The fair value of nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals of the underlying collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Estimated cash flows, discounted using a rate commensurate with current rates and the risk associated with the estimated cash flows, are used if appraisals are not available. This technique does contemplate an exit price.
Stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh
The fair value of FHLB stock is assumed to be equal to its cost basis, since the stock is non-marketable but redeemable at its par value.
Accrued interest receivable
The carrying amounts of interest receivable approximate fair value.
Other assets
Other assets include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, and risk participation agreements (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above).
Deposits
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, money market and interest-bearing demand deposits, is assumed to be equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using rates currently offered for deposits with comparable remaining maturities.
40
Borrowed funds
Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.
Off-balance sheet instruments
The fair value of off-balance sheet instruments, including swap guarantees of $
4.4
million at September 30, 2025 and $
5.5
million at December 31, 2024, respectively, and standby letters of credit, approximates the recorded net deferred fee amounts. Because letters of credit are generally not assignable by either the Company or the borrower, they only have value to the Company and the borrower. In determining the fair value of the swap guarantees, the Company assesses the underlying credit risk exposure for each borrower in a paying position to the third-party financial institution.
Accrued interest payable
The carrying amounts of interest payable approximate fair value.
Other liabilities
Other liabilities include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, risk participation agreements, and derivative related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above).

13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both economic conditions and its business operations. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities. The Company manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for proprietary or speculative trading.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate options, including floors, caps, collars, or swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate options designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The Company has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision under which, if it defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Company also has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if it fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized or adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had
23
interest rate floors purchased at an aggregate premium of $
40.4
million with an aggregate notional amount of $
2.0
billion to hedge variable cash flows associated with a variable rate loan pool through the second quarter of 2030. Changes to the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecast transaction affects earnings. If the Company determines that a cash flow hedge is no longer highly effective, future changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument would be reported in earnings. As of September 30, 2025, the Company determined the cash flow hedges remain highly effective. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, $
3.1
million and $
7.2
million of amortization expense on the premium was reclassified into interest income, respectively, compared to $
1.3
million and $
3.1
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company does not expect any unrealized gains or losses related to cash flow hedges to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Client Derivatives
–
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company enters into interest rate swaps, options, and other hedging contracts (collectively, "swaps") with commercial loan clients and other qualified client counterparties wishing to manage interest rate risk exposures. The Company then enters into offsetting hedging agreements with swap dealer counterparties to economically hedge the exposure arising from these contracts. The interest rate swaps with both the clients and third parties are not designated as hedges under ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
(ASC 815) and are marked to market through earnings. As the interest rate swaps are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying benchmark interest rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by ASC 820. As of September 30, 2025, there were no fair value adjustments related to credit quality.
Derivative Financial Instruments from Mortgage Banking Activities
Derivative financial instruments related to mortgage banking activities are recorded at fair value and are not designated as accounting hedges. This includes commitments to originate certain fixed-rate residential mortgage loans to clients, also referred to as interest rate lock commitments. The Company may also enter into forward sale commitments to sell loans to investors at a fixed price at a future date and trade asset-backed securities to mitigate interest rate risk.
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts (FX forwards) with clients to exchange one currency for another on an agreed date in the future at an agreed exchange rate. The Company then enters into corresponding FX forwards with swap dealer counterparties to economically hedge its exposure on the exchange rate component of the client agreements. The FX forwards with both the clients and third parties are not designated as hedges under ASC 815 and are marked to market through earnings. Exposure to gains and losses on these contracts increase or decrease over their respective lives as currency exchange and interest rates fluctuate. As the FX forwards are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying term structure of currency exchange rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by ASC 820. As of September 30, 2025, there were no fair value adjustments related to credit quality.
45
Risk Participation Agreements
The Company may enter into a risk participation agreement (RPA) with another institution as a means to assume a portion of the credit risk associated with a loan structure which includes a derivative instrument, in exchange for fee income commensurate with the risk assumed. This type of derivative is referred to as an “RPA sold.” In addition, in an effort to reduce the credit risk associated with an interest rate swap agreement with a borrower for whom the Corporation has provided a loan structured with a derivative, the Corporation may purchase an RPA from an institution participating in the facility in exchange for a fee commensurate with the risk shared. This type of derivative is referred to as an “RPA purchased.”
Swap Guarantees
The Company entered into agreements with
one
unrelated financial institution whereby that financial institution entered into interest rate derivative contracts (interest rate swap transactions) directly with clients referred to them by the Company. Under the terms of the agreements, the financial institution has recourse to us for any exposure created under each swap transaction, only in the event that the client defaults on the swap agreement and the agreement is in a paying position to the third-party financial institution. This is a customary arrangement that allows us to provide access to interest rate swap transactions for our clients without creating the swap ourselves. These swap guarantees are accounted for as credit derivatives.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were
130
and
154
variable-rate to fixed-rate swap transactions between the third-party financial institutions and the Company's clients, respectively. The initial notional aggregate amount was approximately $
0.5
billion and $
0.6
billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025, the swap transactions remaining maturities ranged from under
1
year to
10
years. At September 30, 2025,
none
of these client swaps were in a paying position to third parties, with our swap guarantees having a fair value of $
4.4
million. At December 31, 2024,
none
of these client swaps were in a paying position to third parties, with the Company's swap guarantees having a fair value of $
5.5
million. For both periods, none of the Company's clients were in default of the swap agreements.
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision under which, if it defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. The Company also has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if it fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized or adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.
The Company had $
4.4
million of derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features in a net liability position as of September 30, 2025 and
none
at December 31, 2024. The Company was required to post collateral on these derivatives of $
4.9
million as of September 30, 2025 compared to
none
as of December 31, 2024.
If the Company had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2025, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.
Other Derivative Posted Collateral
The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties, and has posted collateral of $
6.4
million in cash against its obligations under these agreements which meets or exceeds the minimum collateral posting requirements.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
As defined in ASC 280,
Segment Reporting
(ASC 280), an operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company evaluates performance based on pretax net income relative to resources used, and allocate resources based on these results. The accounting policies applicable to the Company's segments are those that apply to its preparation of the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on these criteria, the Company has identified
three
segments: WSFS Bank, Cash Connect
®
, and Wealth and Trust.
The WSFS Bank segment provides financial products to Commercial and Consumer clients. Commercial and Consumer Banking and other banking business units are operating departments of WSFS Bank. These departments share the same regulators, the same market, many of the same Clients and provide similar products and services through the general infrastructure of the Bank. Accordingly, these departments are not considered discrete segments and are appropriately aggregated in the WSFS Bank segment.
The Company's Cash Connect
®
segment provides ATM vault cash, smart safe and other cash logistics services through strategic partnerships with several of the largest networks, manufacturers and service providers in the ATM industry. Cash Connect
®
services non-bank and WSFS-branded ATMs and smart safes nationwide. The balance sheet category
Cash in non-owned ATMs
includes cash from which fee income is earned through bailment arrangements with clients of Cash Connect
®
.
The Wealth and Trust segment (previously referred to as the Wealth Management segment) provides a broad array of planning and advisory services, investment management, trust services, and credit and deposit products to individual, corporate, and institutional clients. Bryn Mawr Trust
®
is our predominant Private Wealth Management brand, providing advisory, investment management and trustee services to institutions, affluent and high-net-worth individuals. Private Wealth Management, which includes Private Banking, serves high-net-worth clients and institutions by providing trustee and advisory services, financial planning, customized investment strategies, brokerage products such as annuities and customized banking services including credit and deposit products tailored to its clientele. Private Wealth Management includes businesses that operate under the bank’s charter, through a third-party broker/dealer, and as a registered investment advisor (RIA). It generates revenue through fee-only arrangements, net interest income and other fee-only services such as estate administration, trust tax planning and custody.
The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware provides personal trust and fiduciary services to families and individuals across the U.S. and internationally. WSFS Institutional Services
®
provides trustee, agency, bankruptcy administration, custodial and commercial domicile services to institutional, corporate clients and special purpose vehicles.

The following table shows segment results for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and represent amounts included in management's reports that are regularly provided to the Company's CODM: Rodger Levenson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates performance based on pretax net income relative to resources used, and allocates resources based on these results.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Secondary Market Loan Sales
The Company typically sells newly originated residential mortgage loans in the secondary market to mortgage loan aggregators and, on a more limited basis, to GSEs such as FHLMC, FNMA, and the FHLB. Loans held for sale are reflected on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value with changes in the value reflected in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. Gains and losses are recognized at the time of sale. The Company periodically retains the servicing rights on residential mortgage loans sold which results in monthly service fee income. The mortgage servicing rights are included in
Goodwill and intangible assets
on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Otherwise, the Company sells loans with servicing released on a nonrecourse basis. Rate-locked loan commitments that the Company intends to sell in the secondary market are accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815.
The Company does not sell loans with recourse, except for standard loan sale contract provisions covering violations of representations and warranties and, under certain circumstances, early payment default by the borrower. These are customary repurchase provisions in the secondary market for residential mortgage loan sales. These provisions may include either an indemnification from loss or the repurchase of the loans. Repurchases and losses have been rare and
no
provision is made for losses at the time of sale. There were
three
repurchases for $
0.8
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and
three
repurchases for $
0.7
million during the same period in 2024.
Unfunded Lending Commitments
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had unfunded lending commitments of $
3.0
billion and $
2.8
billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the reserve for unfunded lending commitments was $
12.9
million and $
12.5
million, respectively. An expense of $
0.7
million and $
0.4
million was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to an expense of $
1.3
million and $
0.7
million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

16. CHANGE IN ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, as well as unrecognized prior service costs and actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit pension plans. Changes to accumulated other comprehensive loss are presented, net of tax, as a component of stockholders’ equity. Amounts that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss are recorded on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income either as a gain or loss.
Changes to accumulated other comprehensive loss by component are shown, net of taxes, in the following tables for the period indicated:

17. LEGAL AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS
In accordance with the current accounting standards for loss contingencies, the Company establishes reserves for litigation-related matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Litigation claims and proceedings of all types are subject to many uncertain factors that generally cannot be predicted with assurance. In addition, the Company's defense of litigation claims may result in legal fees, which it expenses as incurred.
On October 3, 2022, Mary Elizabeth Gibbons filed a petition against WSFS Bank, in its individual capacity, in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County for the State of Missouri asserting claims and seeking damages related to an alleged injury that occurred on a property that was allegedly held by the Bank as owner trustee of a RMBS trust. The plaintiff sought in excess of $
25
thousand in damages and other equitable relief. On June 6, 2023, the court entered a default judgment against the Bank in the amount of $
15.0
million, plus post-judgment interest. On January 3, 2025, the Bank received notice that the plaintiff seeks to domesticate and execute on the Missouri judgment by filing an action in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Based on the inherent uncertainty of this matter, it is reasonably possible that the Bank may incur a loss in the range of $
0.0
-$
15.0
million. The Bank, in accordance with its normal procedures, notified its insurance carriers of a possible claim. The Bank disputes the judgment, the Bank's connection to the property, and denies liability.
There were
no
material changes or additions to other significant pending legal or other proceedings involving the Company other than those arising out of routine operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased $26.1 million to $20.8 billion at September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. This increase is primarily comprised of the following:
•
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $418.3 million, primarily due to a decrease in lending activity, increased deposits and runoff in the investment securities portfolios.
•
Net loans and leases held for investment decreased $218.9 million, primarily due to decreases of $287.9 million in our consumer partnership loans from the sale of the majority of the Upstart portfolio and the runoff of the Spring EQ portfolio, and $174.7 million in commercial mortgages, primarily due to the payoff of several large loans. The decrease was partially offset by increases of $171.9 million in construction loans, primarily due to draws on existing commitments, $98.3 million in WSFS-originated consumer loans, and $73.6 million in residential mortgage.
•
Other assets decreased $122.9 million, primarily due to decreases of $59.0 million in deferred taxes primarily due to increased market values on available-for-sale investment securities, $31.8 million in derivatives from our Capital Markets business due to changes in fair value, and $22.6 million in lease right of use asset due to lease remeasurement activity.
•
Total investment securities decreased $44.0 million:
◦
Investment securities held-to-maturity decreased $35.5 million, primarily due to repayments, maturities and calls of $47.1 million, partially offset by $11.6 million of amortization of net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities transferred to held-to-maturity.
◦
Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $8.5 million, primarily due to repayments, maturities and calls of $287.0 million, partially offset by increased market values of $180.4 million and purchases of $100.4 million.
Total liabilities decreased $137.3 million to $18.1 billion at September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. This decrease is primarily comprised of the following:
•
Other liabilities decreased $192.8 million, primarily due to decreases of $159.7 million in collateral held on derivatives and derivative liabilities, $21.9 million in our lease liability due to lease remeasurement activity, and $9.5 million in our accrued expenses primarily related to incentive payments made in the first quarter of 2025.
•
Senior and subordinated debt decreased $69.8 million due to the redemption of the 2027 Notes.
•
Client deposits increased $196.4 million primarily due to a seasonal increase in municipal deposits and growth in Trust deposits, reflecting continued strong performance in this business.
For further information, see "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)."
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity of WSFS increased $163.5 million to $2.8 billion at September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to $214.7 million of earnings and a decrease of $150.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss driven by market value increases on available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities, offset by $178.3 million from the repurchase of shares of common stock under our stock repurchase plan and the payment of dividends on our common stock of $27.9 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025,
the Board of Directors
approved a
quarterly cash dividend of
$0.17
per share of common stock.
This dividend will be paid on November 21, 2025 to stockholders of record as of November 7, 2025.
Book value per share of common stock was $49.67 at September 30, 2025, an increase of $5.52 from $44.15 at December 31, 2024. Tangible book value per share of common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $32.11 at September 30, 2025, an increase of $4.81 from $27.30 at December 31, 2024. We believe tangible book value per common share helps management and investors better understand and assess changes from period to period in stockholders’ equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (GAAP), and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. For a reconciliation of tangible book value per common share to book value per share in accordance with GAAP, see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure to GAAP Measure."

Under the prompt corrective action regime, regulators have established five capital tiers: well-capitalized, adequately-capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized, and critically under-capitalized. A depository institution’s capital tier depends on its capital levels in relation to various relevant capital measures, which include leverage and risk-based capital measures and certain other factors. Depository institutions that are not classified as well-capitalized are subject to various restrictions, which may include restrictions on capital distributions, payment of management fees, acceptance of brokered deposits and other operating activities.
Regulatory capital requirements for the Bank and the Company include a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00% of risk-weighted assets, a minimum total capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.00% of average assets. In order to avoid limits on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments, the Bank and the Company must maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital over each of the risk-based capital requirements. As of September 30, 2025, the Bank and the Company were in compliance with the regulatory capital requirements and met or exceeded the amounts required to be considered “well-capitalized” as defined in the regulations.
Not included in the Bank’s capital, the Company separately held $326.4 million in cash to support share repurchases, potential dividends, acquisitions, strategic growth plans and other general corporate purposes.

Liquidity
We manage our liquidity and funding needs through our Treasury function and our Asset/Liability Committee. We have a policy that separately addresses liquidity, and management monitors our adherence to policy limits. Also, liquidity risk management is a primary area of examination by the banking regulators.
Funding sources to support growth and meet our liquidity needs include cash from operations, commercial, consumer, wealth and trust deposits, loan repayments, FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and access to the brokered deposit market as well as other wholesale funding avenues. In addition, we have a large portfolio of high-quality, liquid investments, primarily short-duration mortgage-backed securities, that provide a near-continuous source of cash flow to meet current cash needs, or can be sold to meet larger discrete needs for cash. We believe these sources are sufficient to meet our funding needs as well as maintain required and prudent levels of liquidity over the next twelve months and beyond.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had
$1.6 billion
in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. As of September 30, 2025, our estimated uninsured deposits were $6.7 billion, or 39% of total client deposits, and our estimated unprotected deposits (uninsured and uncollateralized) were $5.1 billion, or 29% of total client deposits.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a readily available, secured borrowing capacity of $5.6 billion from the FHLB and $2.3 billion through the Federal Reserve Discount Window. In addition, the Company had $0.7 billion in unpledged securities that could be used to support additional borrowings and $1.0 billion of cash deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank.
Our primary cash contractual obligations relate to operating leases, long-term debt, credit obligations, and data processing. At September 30, 2025, we had $174.3 million in total contractual payments for ongoing leases that have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 20 years, which includes renewal options that are exercised at our discretion. For additional information on our operating leases, see Note 8 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2025, we had obligations for principal payments on long-term debt including $67.0 million for our trust preferred borrowings, due June 1, 2035, $24.0 million for our trust preferred borrowings, due December 15, 2034, and $150.0 million for our senior debt, due December 15, 2030. We are also contractually obligated to make interest payments on our long-term debt through their respective maturities.
Commitments to extend credit provide for financing on predetermined terms as long as the client continues to meet specific criteria. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At September 30, 2025, the Company had total commitments to extend credit, including cancellable commitments,
of
$4.4 billion, which are generally one year commitments.
57
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets include nonaccruing loans, OREO and restructured loans. Nonaccruing loans are those on which we no longer accrue interest. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status immediately if, in the opinion of management, collection is doubtful, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the value of the collateral is insufficient to cover principal and interest. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed and charged against interest income. In addition, the amortization of net deferred loan fees is suspended when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Subsequent cash receipts are applied either to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of principal and interest. Past due loans are defined as loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but which remain in accrual status because they are considered well secured and in the process of collection.
The following table shows our nonperforming assets, past due loans, and troubled loans at the dates indicated:

Nonperforming assets decreased $54.8 million between December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025
. This decrease was primarily
driven by the payoff of three existing nonperforming commercial loans and the charge-off of an existing nonperforming C&I loan to a fund that is invested in office properties, partially offset by the migration of a land development loan. T
he ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets
decreased
from 0.61% at December 31, 2024 to 0.35% at September 30, 2025.

The timely identification of problem loans is a key element in our strategy to manage our loan portfolio. Problem loans are all criticized, classified and nonperforming loans and other real estate owned. Timely identification enables us to take appropriate action and accordingly, minimize losses. An asset review system established to monitor the asset quality of our loans and investments in real estate portfolios facilitates the identification of problem assets. In general, this system uses guidelines established by federal regulation.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Our primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital, while maximizing the yield/cost spread on our asset/liability structure. Interest rates are partly a function of decisions by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) on the target range for the federal funds rate, and these decisions are sometimes difficult to anticipate. The FOMC lowered the federal funds target rate in September and October 2025 for a total of 50 basis points and three times in 2024 for a total of 100 basis points after they increased the target rate four times in 2023 for a total of 100 basis points. In order to manage the risks associated with changes or possible changes in interest rates, we rely primarily on our asset/liability structure.
Our primary tool for achieving our asset/liability management strategies is to match maturities or repricing periods of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities to promote a favorable interest rate spread and mitigate exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We regularly review our interest rate sensitivity and adjust the sensitivity within acceptable tolerance ranges. At September 30, 2025, interest-earning assets exceeded interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within one year (interest-sensitive gap) by $1.2 billion. Our interest-sensitive assets as a percentage of interest-sensitive liabilities within the one-year window was 113.89% at September 30, 2025 compared with 105.28% at December 31, 2024. Likewise, the one-year interest-sensitive gap as a percentage of total assets was 5.86% at September 30, 2025 compared with 2.26% at December 31, 2024.
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, investing, and funding activities. To that end, we actively monitor and manage our interest rate risk exposure. One measure evaluates the impact of an immediate change in interest rates in 100 basis point increments on the economic value of equity ratio. The economic value of the equity ratio is defined as the economic value of the estimated cash flows from assets and liabilities as a percentage of economic value of cash flows from total assets.
The following table shows the estimated impact of immediate changes in interest rates on our net interest margin and economic value of equity ratio at the specified levels at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended September 30, 2025:
Net income attributable to WSFS for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $76.4 million, compared to $64.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
•
Net interest income increased $6.5 million driven by lower deposit and wholesale funding costs as well as higher cash balances from growth in average deposits. The increase was partially offset by lower asset yields due to rate cuts in late 2024. See “Net Interest Income” for further information.
•
Our provision for credit losses decreased $11.9 million. The current quarter's provision was impacted by favorable asset quality. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further information.
•
Noninterest income decreased $3.7 million, driven by a decrease in Cash Connect
®
(which is offset in noninterest expense), a double-digit increase in Wealth and Trust, and was impacted by a valuation adjustment to our Visa B derivative liability. See “Noninterest Income” for further information.
•
Noninterest expense decreased $0.7 million, primarily due to decreases in Cash Connect
®
external funding costs and occupancy expense, partially offset by higher salaries and benefits from talent additions in key business lines and performance-based increases. See “Noninterest Expense” for further information.
•
Income tax provision increased $3.3 million, primarily due to higher income before taxes and certain tax credits recognized in 2024. See "Income Taxes" for further information.
Nine months ended September 30, 2025:
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $214.7 million, compared to $199.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
•
Net interest income increased $11.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the reasons described above. See “Net Interest Income” for further information.
•
Our provision for credit losses decreased $16.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the reasons mentioned above as well as a provision release associated with the Upstart loans sale. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further information.
•
Noninterest income decreased $2.2 million due to the reasons mentioned above.
•
Noninterest expense increased $5.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to higher salaries and benefits, equipment expenses, professional fees, and loan workout and other credit costs. The increase was partially offset by decreases in other operating expense driven by lower Cash Connect
®
external funding costs and FDIC expenses. See “Noninterest Expense” for further information.
•
Income tax provision increased $5.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the reasons described above. See "Income Taxes" for further information.

Three months ended September 30, 2025:
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income increased $6.5 million from the three months ended September 30, 2024 driven by lower deposit and wholesale funding costs as well as higher cash balances from growth in average deposits
. The increase was partially offset by lower loan yields due to rate cuts in late 2024. Net interest margin was 3.91% for the third quarter of 2025, a 13 basis point increase compared to 3.78% for the third quarter
of 2024. The increase was primarily due to
deposit repricing actions, continued wholesale funding optimization, and higher cash balances, partially offset by lower loan balances and loan yields
.
63
Nine months ended September 30, 2025:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income increased $11.5 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to the reasons noted above. Net interest margin was 3.89% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a 7 basis point increase compared to 3.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to the reasons mentioned above.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level based on our assessment of estimable and expected losses related to various portfolios subject to credit risk. Our allowance for credit losses is based on our historical loss experience that includes the inherent risk of our loans and leases, HTM securities, and other account receivables, along with various other factors including but not limited to, collateral values, trends in asset quality, level of delinquent loans and concentrations, consideration of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Further, regional and national economic forecasts are considered in our expected credit losses on loans and leases. Our evaluation is based on a review of the portfolio and requires significant, complex and difficult judgments.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $6.6 million, a decrease of $11.9 million, compared to the provision for credit losses of $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The current quarter provision was primarily driven by charge-offs on our C&I and commercial small business lease portfolios. The decrease was driven by favorable migration when compared to the prior period as well as payoffs of several large nonperforming assets.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $36.5 million, a decrease of $16.8 million, compared to the provision for credit losses of $53.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The current year provision was primarily driven by charge-offs and new originations in our C&I and commercial small business lease portfolios, partially offset by the reduction in the allowance due to the sale of the Upstart loans. The decrease was due to the reasons mentioned above, as well a provision release associated with the Upstart loans sale.
The total allowance for credit losses decreased to $185.5 million at September 30, 2025 from $195.3 million at December 31, 2024 primarily due to the resolution of several problem loans as well as the Upstart loan sale, partially offset by additional reserve on accounts receivable for certain fee-based businesses. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases decreased to 1.41% at September 30, 2025 from 1.48% at December 31, 2024, due to a decrease of 11bps driven by the sale of the Upstart loans and continued runoff of the portfolio, partially offset by a 4bps increase due to deterioration of the economic forecast.

Noninterest Income
Three months ended September 30, 2025:
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, noninterest income was $86.5 million, a decrease of $3.7 million from $90.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was driven by a $6.5 million decline in Cash Connect
®
, primarily due to the lower rate environment and lower ATM bailment volume, and a $2.4 million loss related to a valuation adjustment to our Visa B derivative liability established from our previous sale of 360,000 shares in 2Q 2020. The decrease was partially offset by a $5.1 million increase in Wealth and Trust.
Nine months ended September 30, 2025:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, noninterest income was $255.4 million, a decrease of $2.2 million from $257.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by $15.1 million in the Cash Connect
®
segment for the reasons mentioned above as well as a $5.1 million impact from valuation adjustments to our Visa B derivative liability in 2025 and 2024. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $17.8 million in Wealth and Trust fees.
For further information, see Note 3 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Noninterest Expense
Three months ended September 30, 2025
: During the three months ended September 30, 2025, noninterest expense was $163.1 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from $163.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to $5.4 million of lower Cash Connect
®
external funding costs and a $1.1 million decline in occupancy expense, partially offset by an increase of $5.5 million from salaries and benefits as a result of talent additions in key business areas and performance-based increases.
Nine months ended September 30, 2025:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, noninterest expense was $474.2 million, an increase of $5.6 million from $468.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to $18.1 million in salaries and benefits due to the reasons mentioned above, $4.6 million from equipment expenses driven by technology costs, $2.8 million in professional fees, and $2.2 million related to loan workout costs, partially offset by a $21.0 million decrease in other operating expense driven by lower Cash Connect
®
external funding costs and a $1.5 million decrease in FDIC expenses, primarily driven by the special assessment fees recognized in 2024.
Income Taxes
We and our subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and separate state income tax returns. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740,
Income Taxes
, which requires the recording of deferred income taxes for tax consequences of temporary differences. We recorded income tax expense of $24.4 million and $68.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $21.1 million and $63.6 million for the same periods in 2024. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to higher income before taxes in 2025 and certain tax credits recognized in 2024.
Our effective tax rate was 24.2% and 24.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 24.7% and 24.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
The effective tax rate reflects the recognition of certain tax benefits in the financial statements including those benefits from tax-exempt interest income, federal low-income housing tax credits, solar tax credits, research and development tax credits, and excess tax benefits from recognized stock compensation. These tax benefits are offset by the tax effect of stock-based compensation expense related to incentive stock options, tax deficiencies from recognized stock compensation, and a provision for state income tax expense. We frequently analyze our projections of taxable income and make adjustments to our provision for income taxes accordingly.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURE TO GAAP MEASURE
The following table provides a reconciliation of tangible book value per share of common stock to book value per share of common stock, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We believe this measure helps management and investors better understand and assess changes from period to period in stockholders’ equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets.
This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We regularly evaluate these estimates and assumptions including those related to the allowance for credit losses, business combinations, deferred taxes, fair value measurements and goodwill and other intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These form the basis for making judgments on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Although our current estimates contemplate current economic conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, for the remainder of 2025, it is possible that actual conditions may be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting estimates at September 30, 2025 did not significantly change from our critical accounting estimates at December 31, 2024, which are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
RECENT LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
Recent regulatory developments at September 30, 2025 did not significantly change from our recent regulatory developments at December 31, 2024, which are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as noted below.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law by President Trump in the United States. The legislation introduces several changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including the immediate expensing of qualifying research and development expenditures and the permanent extension of select provisions originally enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The legislation has multiple effective dates and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
GENIUS Act
On July 18, 2025, President Trump signed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act, or the “GENIUS Act,” into law, establishing a federal licensing and supervisory framework for payment stablecoins and their issuers. The GENIUS Act may accelerate and increase the competition that non-traditional financial institutions pose to banks' payment services, but may also create opportunities for banks to hold stablecoin reserve assets, custody stablecoins, or issue stablecoins. Several key provisions of the GENIUS Act require federal regulatory agencies to adopt implementing regulations, and the Act will take effect the earlier of 18 months after its enactment or 120 days after the agencies issue final implementing regulations. The Company continues to assess the impact of the GENIUS Act as the stablecoin industry evolves.
67
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)
On October 24, 2023, the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued a final rule revising their framework for evaluating banks’ records of community reinvestment under the CRA. On July 16, 2025, the bank regulatory agencies issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to rescind the October 2023 final rule and restore the CRA framework that existed previously, which has remained in effect due to a preliminary injunction that stayed implementation of the October 2023 rule. The Bank received a rating of “Satisfactory” in its most recent performance evaluation, which was conducted using the CRA framework that existed prior to the October 2023 final rule.
Brokered Deposits
On July 30, 2024, the FDIC issued a proposed rule that would revise the FDIC’s regulations governing the classification and treatment of brokered deposits.
The proposed rule would have potentially required the Bank to classify a greater amount of its deposits obtained with the involvement of third parties as brokered deposits.
On March 3, 2025, the FDIC withdrew this proposed rule.
Bank Merger Act
On September 17, 2024, the OCC finalized a new Policy Statement Regarding Statutory Factors Under the Bank Merger Act (the “Policy Statement”), which updated the factors the OCC would apply in evaluating a proposed bank merger transaction.
The Policy Statement could have potentially made it more difficult and/or costly for us to obtain OCC approval for an acquisition or otherwise resulted in more onerous conditions in approval orders than the OCC had previously imposed.
On May 8, 2025, the OCC rescinded the Policy Statement. The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has left in place its 2023 Merger Guidelines as a framework to review bank mergers and has not reinstated the 1995 Bank Merger Guidelines that it previously applied to bank mergers and which the Federal Reserve and OCC continue to apply. Compared to the 1995 Bank Merger Guidelines, the 2023 Merger Guidelines set forth more stringent concentration limits and add several largely qualitative bases on which the DOJ may challenge a merger.
Recent Regulatory Developments since September 30, 2025
Since September 30, 2025, the OCC has issued certain written guidance and a number of proposed rules that collectively are designed to reduce the regulatory burden for community banks, defined as banks with assets up to $30 billion, and include the Bank. The following is a short summary of certain of the written guidance and proposed rules (none of which are final) recently issued by the OCC:
•
Guidance that eliminates mandatory examination activities not required by statute or regulation starting January 1, 2026, and requiring OCC examiners to tailor their examination of a community bank’s specific activities in light of its size, complexity, and risk profile, with heightened focus on material financial risks.
•
Guidance that eliminates the examination of community banks' use of the procedures and standards in the retail nondeposit investment products booklet of the handbook issued by the OCC.
•
Guidance that provides community banks with flexibility to tailor their model risk management practices, including the appropriate frequency and nature of validation activities,and stating that the OCC will not provide negative supervisory feedback solely for the frequency or scope of the model validation that a community bank reasonably determined to perform.
•
A notice of proposed rulemaking to remove the "Fair Housing Home Loan Data System" in 12 C.F.R. Part 27, after the OCC determined that the regulation is obsolete and largely duplicative of and inconsistent with other legal authorities that require national banks to collect and retain certain information on applications for home loans.
•
A notice of proposed rulemaking (along with the FDIC) to define the term "unsafe or unsound practice," which is used but not defined in Section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,to focus on material harm to the financial condition of the bank or material risk of loss to the deposit insurance fund, as well as to set forth uniform standards for issuing matters requiring attention by bank examiners that only address certain financial risks of, or violations of law by, banks.
•
A notice of proposed rulemaking (along with the FDIC) to codify the elimination of reputation risk from their supervisory programs and therefore prohibit the OCC from criticizing or taking adverse action against a bank on the basis of reputation risk or from requiring, instructing, or encouraging a bank to close an account, to refrain from providing an account, product, or service, or to modify or terminate any product or service on the basis of a person or entity’s political, social, cultural, or religious views or beliefs, constitutionally protected speech, or solely on the basis of politically disfavored but lawful business activities perceived to present reputation risk.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the second quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of 6,358,727 shares of common stock, or 10% of its outstanding shares as of June 30, 2022. This repurchase program was completed during the third quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of 5,769,334 shares of common stock, or 10% of its outstanding shares as of March 31, 2025. Under the program, repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable securities laws. The program is consistent with our intent to optimize capital levels through a mix of dividends and share repurchases while maintaining capital ratios in excess of “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks and targeting a corporate Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of approximately 12%.
The following table represents information with respect to repurchases of common stock made by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
