(1) As used in this press release, core ROA, core EPS, core net revenue, core net interest income, core fee income (noninterest income), core noninterest expense, and core efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures exclude securities gains, realized/unrealized gains on equity investments, corporate development and restructuring expense, and recoveries of legal settlement and fraud loss. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” at the end of this press release.

Notable items in the quarter:

  • WSFS recorded unrealized gains of $21.3 million (pre-tax), or approximately $0.31 per share related to our investment in Visa Class B shares, compared with $7.0 million, or approximately $0.17 per share, in realized and unrealized gains related to Visa Class B shares in 3Q 2018. Since our adoption of ASU 2016-01 in 1Q 2018, cumulative realized and unrealized gains on Visa Class B shares total $50.1 million. This gain is excluded from our core results.
  • WSFS recorded $18.9 million (pre-tax), or approximately $0.27 per share (after-tax), of net corporate development and restructuring costs related to our acquisition of Beneficial, compared with $3.8 million, or approximately $0.11 per share, in 3Q 2018. The merger-to-date and 3Q 2019 amounts are consistent with our original expectations. These costs are excluded from our core results.
  • Net interest income included $1.7 million due to the impact of a $2.0 billion noninterest bearing, capital markets-related trust deposit held for 15 days during the third quarter, and which was withdrawn as expected before the end of the quarter. This institutional trust deposit reflects our diversified business model and demonstrates our ability to successfully execute large, complex transactions on behalf of our customers. This deposit also resulted in a $329.5 million increase to average assets and an approximately 6 bps decrease to net interest margin in the quarter.

CEO outlook and commentary

Rodger Levenson, President and CEO, said, “After a year of diligent planning and preparation, we successfully and smoothly completed our systems and branding conversion during the third quarter, which represents the final major milestone in the integration phase of our combination with Beneficial. We continue to execute on the growth and synergy opportunities from our combination as the largest, full-service, full-product locally headquartered bank in the greater Delaware Valley.

“Our results through 3Q 2019 reflect our continued execution of the goals in our Strategic Plan. We completed our acquisition of Beneficial according to our planned timeline, and the initial results of the acquisition reflect positive performance compared to our original expectations. We are encouraged by the opportunities ahead of us as a combined organization with a broader footprint. Our balanced business model and disciplined cost management have delivered core ROA of 1.66% in 3Q 2019 and 1.61% year to date, positioning us well to meet or exceed our full-year strategic goals, including a core ROA of greater than 1.50% for full-year 2019.

“Also during the third quarter, we were honored to receive two major awards from the American Bankers Association for our ‘Icons’ video, which is one of several multimedia creative pieces we rolled out in recent months as part of a brand awareness campaign coinciding with our expansion into the City of Philadelphia, and surrounding suburbs in southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey.

“Finally, we were named a top workplace in Delaware for the fourteenth consecutive year in The News Journal’s ‘Top Workplaces’ survey, earning first place in the large company category; we were also named to the 'Soaring 76' for the third year in a row by the Philadelphia Business Journal, recognizing us as one of the 76 fastest growing companies in the greater Philadelphia region. Both of these awards reflect our commitment to our strategy, Associates and Customers across the Delaware Valley.”

Third Quarter 2019 Discussion of Financial Results

Net interest margin impacted by purchase accretion and interest rate environment

Net interest income in 3Q 2019 was $120.8 million, an increase of $57.7 million, or 92%, compared to 3Q 2018. Net interest margin for 3Q 2019 was a strong 4.38%, an increase of 27 bps from 4.11% for 3Q 2018. The year-over-year increase included approximately 40 bps of higher purchase accounting accretion partially offset by approximately 7 basis points of expected margin compression due to Beneficial's lower-margin balance sheet and approximately 6 basis points from the $2.0 billion short-term trust deposit described above.

Net interest income decreased $2.4 million, or 2% (not annualized), from $123.2 million in 2Q 2019. Net interest margin decreased 30 bps to 4.38% from 4.68% in 2Q 2019. The quarter-over-quarter decrease included approximately 10 bps from lower purchase accounting accretion, approximately 10 bps resulting from the current rate environment, and 6 bps from the impact of the $2.0 billion short-term trust deposit.

Loans reflect acquisition and organic growth, offset by run-off portfolios

At September 30, 2019, WSFS’ net loan portfolio decreased $71.3 million when compared with June 30, 2019. The decrease includes a $100.8 million decline in run-off portfolios primarily acquired from Beneficial, which consist of residential mortgages, auto and student loans, CRE participations and C&I leveraged loan participations. We continue to execute our strategy of selling most newly originated residential mortgages in the secondary market, and allowing the loans described above to run off. Excluding the run-off portfolios, net loans increased $29.5 million during the quarter, including consumer loans, which increased $26.9 million, or 9% (annualized), primarily due to loans originated through our partnership with Spring EQ. Residential mortgages increased $17.8 million, primarily due to high loan origination volume during the quarter. C&I loans increased $12.4 million, primarily due to a robust $225.4 million of newly funded loans during the quarter, partially offset by elevated payoffs and paydowns, resulting from the current interest rate and competitive pricing environments. Partially offsetting these increases, construction loans decreased $27.4 million, or 20% (annualized) during the quarter.

Compared to September 30, 2018, net loans increased $3.6 billion, which includes $3.7 billion of net loans acquired from Beneficial on March 1, 2019. Excluding the acquired loans from Beneficial and a $271.5 million purposeful decline in the run-off portfolios described above, year-over year growth of $173.2 million resulted from strong consumer loan growth of $94.7 million, or 14%, driven by second-lien home equity installment loans originated through our partnership with Spring EQ and student loans though our partnership with LendKey, an increase of $96.4 million from growth in our residential mortgage business, and an increase of $17.1 million or 1%, in C&I loans, due to robust growth in newly funded loans, partially offset by elevated payoffs and paydowns caused by the current interest rate and competitive pricing environments. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $28.5 million in our construction portfolio.

Credit quality metrics remain strong and stable

Credit quality metrics during 3Q 2019 remain stable in comparison with 2Q 2019, and demonstrate consistent trends in both the originated and acquired loan portfolios.

Total problem assets, which includes all criticized, classified, and nonperforming loans as well as other real estate owned (OREO), were $222.7 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $219.7 million at June 30, 2019. Total problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ALLL was 16.29% at September 30, 2019, compared to 16.78% at June 30, 2019. The Company’s ratio of classified assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ALLL was 13.79% at September 30, 2019, compared to 13.77% at June 30, 2019.

Total delinquencies, which include nonperforming delinquencies, were $66.6 million at September 30, 2019, or 0.78%, of gross loans, compared to $67.5 million, or 0.78% of gross loans at June 30, 2019. Excluding nonperforming delinquencies, performing loan delinquencies were only 0.62% of gross loans at September 30, 2019, compared to 0.54% at June 30, 2019. Included in total delinquencies were $18.8 million of delinquent, but still accruing, U.S. government-guaranteed student loans that carry little risk of credit loss.

Total nonperforming assets were $56.2 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $55.5 million at June 30, 2019. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was 0.46% at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

Net charge-offs for 3Q 2019 were $1.8 million, or 0.09% (annualized), of average gross loans, a decrease from $13.2 million, or 0.61% (annualized), for 2Q 2019, due to elevated charge-offs in 2Q 2019, and $2.9 million, or 0.24% (annualized), during 3Q 2018. Total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan workout expenses, OREO expenses and other credit costs), which can be uneven, were $5.0 million in 3Q 2019, $13.6 million in 2Q 2019 and $3.7 million in 3Q 2018.

The ratio of the ALLL to total gross loans was 0.56% at September 30, 2019, an increase from 0.53% at June 30, 2019. Excluding the balances for acquired loans (which are marked to market at acquisition), the ALLL to total gross loans ratio would have been 1.00% at September 30, 2019 compared with 0.99% at June 30, 2019. The ALLL was 124% of nonaccruing loans at September 30, 2019 compared to 121% at June 30, 2019 and 114% at September 30, 2018.

Customer funding reflects continued core deposit strength

The following table summarizes customer funding balances and composition at September 30, 2019 compared to June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

         
(Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2019 June 30, 2019 (1)    September 30, 2018 
Noninterest demand $2,268,615   25% $2,190,180  23% $1,515,336  28%
Interest-bearing demand 2,177,189   23  2,091,719  22  1,091,546  20

Total customer deposits $9,290,928   100% $9,271,551  100% $5,436,769  100%
(1) June 30, 2019 reported balances have been adjusted for several systems conversion-related reclassifications that were made in the third quarter of 2019 to allow for comparability between the periods presented. For a reconciliation of conversion-related reclassification adjustments, please see “Reconciliation of conversion-related reclassification adjustments” at the end of this press release.
 

Total customer funding was $9.3 billion at September 30, 2019, a $19.4 million increase from June 30, 2019. Core deposits were $8.0 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $48.5 million, or 2% (annualized), over the prior quarter. No- and low-cost checking deposit accounts increased $163.9 million including $177.6 million from seasonally higher public funding deposits and $105.0 million due to higher institutional trust deposits, partially offset by anticipated Beneficial attrition. Savings balances decreased $62.2 million, which was also primarily due to expected Beneficial attrition. Money markets decreased $53.3 million, primarily due to lower trust-related deposits, and time deposits decreased $29.1 million, primarily due to CD maturities.

Customer funding increased $3.9 billion compared to September 30, 2018. Excluding the $3.7 billion of customer funding acquired from Beneficial, customer funding increased $185.1 million, or 3%. Core deposits increased $272.2 million, or 6%, over the prior year, including a $348.8 million increase in no- and low-cost checking deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $82.8 million in savings deposits. Time deposits decreased $87.2 million, primarily due to CD maturities.

Core deposits were a strong 86% of total customer deposits, and no- and low-cost checking deposit accounts represented a robust 48% of total customer deposits at September 30, 2019. These core deposits predominantly represent longer-term, less price-sensitive customer relationships. The ratio of loans to customer deposits was 92% at September 30, 2019.

Core fee income reflects diversification and growth over the prior year

Core fee income (noninterest income) was $41.0 million, an increase of $6.1 million, or 18%, compared to 3Q 2018, including an increase of $4.3 million from traditional banking-related fee income, primarily related to Beneficial, and an increase of $1.6 million from our mortgage banking business.

When compared to 2Q 2019, core fee income decreased $0.8 million, or 2% (not annualized), primarily due to a $0.7 million decrease in gains on sale of SBA loans, which can be uneven.

For 3Q 2019, core fee income was 25.3% of core net revenue, compared to 35.5% for 3Q 2018, and was diversified among various sources, including traditional banking, mortgage banking, trust and wealth management and cash logistics services (Cash Connect®). The year-over-year percentage decline primarily reflects the effect of our combination with Beneficial, which had lower fee income.

Noninterest expenses reflect growth in revenue and effective cost management

Our core efficiency ratio was 55.9% in 3Q 2019, compared to 55.7% in 2Q 2019, and 57.6% in 3Q 2018. Core noninterest expense for 3Q 2019 was $90.7 million, an increase of $34.1 million, or 60.2%, from $56.6 million in 3Q 2018, primarily due to higher ongoing operating costs from our combination with Beneficial and other franchise growth.

When compared to 2Q 2019, core noninterest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 1.5% (not annualized). The quarter-over-quarter decrease includes the effect of a Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) credit received from the FDIC when the DIF reached the required threshold. The remainder primarily reflects our continuing investment in franchise growth offset by cost synergies resulting from our combination with Beneficial.

Income taxes

We recorded a $15.9 million income tax provision in 3Q 2019, compared to provisions of $10.1 million in 2Q 2019 and $9.9 million in 3Q 2018.

The effective tax rate was 22.9% in 3Q 2019, 21.9% in 2Q 2019, and 20.3% in 3Q 2018. The higher tax rate in 3Q 2019 compared to 2Q 2019 and 3Q 2018 primarily reflects lower benefits realized from stock-based compensation activity and higher state income taxes resulting from our combination with Beneficial.

Selected Business Segments (included in previous results):

Wealth Management segment revenue grows 20% over the prior year

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 through multiple integrated businesses. Combined, these businesses had $20.2 billion in assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) as of September 30, 2019. 

Total Wealth Management revenue (net interest income, fiduciary fees and other fee income) was $16.8 million for 3Q 2019, an increase of $2.8 million, or 20%, compared to 3Q 2018, primarily due to continued strength in our institutional trust services business and including $1.7 million of income as a result of the aforementioned short-term institutional trust deposit. Our AUM businesses also generated higher year-over-year investment advisory fees, as they benefited from improvements in market valuations and positive net inflows of $108.4 million since 3Q 2018. Compared to 2Q 2019, revenue increased $1.8 million, or 12% (not annualized).

Our trust and private banking businesses continued to generate low- and no-cost core deposit balances. Average balances in 3Q 2019 increased by $42.2 million, or 7% (not annualized and excluding the $2.0 billion short-term trust deposit), compared to 2Q 2019.

Total noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations and provision for loan losses) was $9.3 million in 3Q 2019, an increase of $0.5 million compared to 3Q 2018 (excluding previously disclosed insurance recoveries in 3Q 2018) and an increase of $0.3 million compared to 2Q 2019. The increase was driven by higher compensation costs from adding advisors and private bankers in the Beneficial footprint as well as an increase in provision for loan losses, where the business had experienced net recoveries in both 2Q 2019 and 3Q 2018. Wealth Management reported pre-tax income in 3Q 2019 of $7.6 million, which includes $1.4 million of income net of expenses directly related to the short-term institutional trust deposit, compared to $5.2 million in 3Q 2018, excluding the previously disclosed insurance recoveries, and $6.1 million in 2Q 2019.

As we continue to further execute on future growth opportunities resulting from the Beneficial acquisition, Wealth Management has hired four wealth advisors and three private bankers since the beginning of the year to support our expansion into the Pennsylvania and New Jersey markets and has a strong pipeline of new business activity.

Cash Connect® pre-tax income increases 13% over same quarter in 2018

Cash Connect® is a premier provider of ATM vault cash, smart safe and cash logistics services in the United States. Cash Connect® services approximately 30,300 non-bank ATMs and retail safes nationwide supplying or servicing over $1.1 billion in cash at September 30, 2019 and provides other fee-based services. Cash Connect® also operates 477 ATMs for WSFS Bank, which is one of the largest branded ATM networks in our market.

Our Cash Connect® division recorded $11.6 million of net revenue (fee income less funding costs) in 3Q 2019, an increase of $1.3 million, or 12%, from 3Q 2018, primarily due to continued growth in the bailment, cash management and smart safe lines of business. Compared to 2Q 2019, net revenue increased $0.3 million, or 2% (not annualized), primarily due to growth in surcharge and interchange revenue as a result of the acquired branch ATMs as well as bailment and seasonality.

Noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations of expense) was $9.8 million in 3Q 2019, an increase of $1.0 million compared to 3Q 2018 and an increase of $0.2 million compared to 2Q 2019. The increases in expenses were primarily due to higher operating costs associated with growth. Cash Connect® reported pre-tax income of $1.8 million for 3Q 2019, which was an increase of $0.2 million, or 13% compared to 3Q 2018, primarily due to organic growth. Pre-tax income was essentially flat compared to 2Q 2019, primarily due to higher revenue offset by operating costs associated with growth.

Cash Connect® remains focused on expanding both ATM and smart safe managed services to offset margin compression and a changing rate environment and to improve overall returns. 3Q 2019 results demonstrate progress in driving efficiencies in operations to optimize both cost of funds and mix of WSFS’ cash and other sources of cash. These efforts have resulted in 3Q 2019 ROA of 1.75%, a significant improvement from 1.48% in 2Q 2019 and 0.88% in 3Q 2018 and which is accretive to WSFS's overall ROA performance. Cash Connect® continues to experience strong growth in the strategic Remote Cash Capture (RCC- smart safe, recycler and kiosk) space with approximately 2,900 devices under service. Our pipeline is experiencing significant growth as we continue to add new channel partners with strong networks of national retail relationships.

Capital management

WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity increased $20.4 million, or 1% (not annualized) during 3Q 2019, primarily due to the effect of quarterly earnings and market-value changes on available-for-sale securities partially offset by share buybacks and the payment of dividends on our common stock during the quarter.

WSFS’ tangible common equity(2) increased $24.2 million, or 1.92% (not annualized) compared to June 30, 2019 for the reasons described in the paragraph above. WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio was 15.13% at September 30, 2019, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio(2) increased by 9 bps during the quarter to 10.98%.

At September 30, 2019, book value per share was $35.41, an increase of $0.91, or 3%, from June 30, 2019, and tangible common book value per share(2) was $24.50, an increase of $0.81, or 3%, from June 30, 2019.

At September 30, 2019, WSFS Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.13%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.01%, and Total Capital ratio of 13.50% were all substantially in excess of the “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on November 21, 2019 to stockholders of record as of November 7, 2019.

During 3Q 2019, WSFS repurchased 959,300 shares of common stock at an average price of $42.33 as part of our share buyback program approved by the Board of Directors in 4Q 2018. WSFS has 1,906,338 shares, or approximately 4% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under this authorization. We continue to execute the Board-approved share buyback plan, including opportunistically repurchasing shares, based on current valuation levels, above our stated practice of returning a minimum of 25% of annual net income to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those related to difficult market conditions and unfavorable economic trends in the United States generally, and particularly in the markets in which the Company operates and in which its loans are concentrated, including the effects of declines in housing markets, an increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth; the Company's level of nonperforming assets and the costs associated with resolving problem loans including litigation and other costs; possible additional loan losses and impairment of the collectability of loans; changes in market interest rates which may increase funding costs and reduce earning asset yields and thus reduce margin; the impact of changes in interest rates and the credit quality and strength of underlying collateral and the effect of such changes on the market value of the Company's investment securities portfolio; the credit risk associated with the substantial amount of commercial real estate, construction and land development, and commercial and industrial loans in our loan portfolio; the extensive federal and state regulation, supervision and examination governing almost every aspect of the Company's operations including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (which amended the Dodd-Frank Act), and the rules and regulations issued in accordance therewith and potential expenses associated with complying with such regulations; the Company's ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements (including the finalized Basel III capital standards), including our ability to generate liquidity internally or raise capital on favorable terms; possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations and other activities of governments, agencies, and similar organizations; any impairment of the Company's goodwill or other intangible assets; failure of the financial and operational controls of the Company's Cash Connect® division; conditions in the financial markets that may limit the Company's access to additional funding to meet its liquidity needs; the success of the Company's growth plans, including the successful integration of past and future acquisitions; the Company's ability to fully realize the cost savings and other benefits of its acquisitions, manage risks related to business disruption following those acquisitions, and post-acquisition customer acceptance of the Company's products and services and related Customer disintermediation; negative perceptions or publicity with respect to the Company's trust and wealth management business; adverse judgments or other resolution of pending and future legal proceedings, and cost incurred in defending such proceedings; system failures or cybersecurity incidents or other breaches of the Company's network security; the Company's ability to recruit and retain key employees; the effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions that adversely affect the Company or the banking industry generally; the effects of weather and natural disasters such as floods, droughts, wind, tornadoes and hurricanes as well as effects from geopolitical instability and man-made disasters including terrorist attacks; possible changes in the speed of loan prepayments by the Company's customers and loan origination or sales volumes; possible changes in the speed of prepayments of mortgage-backed securities 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 and pay dividends to its stockholders; any reputation, credit, interest rate, market, operational, legal, liquidity, regulatory and compliance risk resulting from developments related to any of the risks discussed above; and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans, litigation, and other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
