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:

•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 possible declines in housing markets, an increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic growth, including as a result of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic;

•possible additional loan losses and impairment of the collectability of loans, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the policies and programs implemented by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, including its automatic loan forbearance provisions and our Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) lending activities;

•the economic and financial impact of federal, state and local emergency orders and other actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;

•the Company’s level of nonperforming assets and the costs associated with resolving problem loans including litigation and other costs and complying with government-imposed foreclosure moratoriums;

•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 the Company's loan portfolio;

•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 the finalized Basel III capital standards and the effect of the transition to the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology for allowances and related adjustments), including its ability to generate liquidity internally or raise capital on favorable terms;

•possible 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;

•conditions in the financial markets, including the destabilized economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, that may limit the Company’s access to additional funding to meet its liquidity needs;

•the intention of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to cease support of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the transition to an alternative reference interest rate;

•the success of the Company's growth plans, including its plans to grow the commercial small business leasing portfolio and residential mortgage, small business and Small Business Administration (SBA) portfolios following the acquisition of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. (Beneficial);

•the successful integration of 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;

Table of Contents

•negative perceptions or publicity with respect to the Company generally and, in particular, the Company’s trust and wealth management business;

•failure of the financial and operational controls of the Company’s Cash Connect^® division;

•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 widespread remote working arrangements;

•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;

•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 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, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, 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, litigation, legal, liquidity, regulatory and compliance risk resulting from developments related to any of the risks discussed above; and

•other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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), 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 intangible assets, the establishment of additional allowance and lending-related commitment reserves as well as increased post-retirement benefits 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. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. 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, 2020. 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, 2019 (the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K) that was filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020 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 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Those significant accounting policies remain unchanged at June 30, 2020, except as described below:

Loans

Loans held for investment are recorded at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost is the amount at which a financial asset is originated or acquired, adjusted for the amortization of premium and discount, net deferred fees or costs, collection of cash, and write-offs. Interest income on loans is recognized using the level yield method. Loan origination fees, commitment fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the related loans using a level yield method over the period to maturity.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans and Leases

The Company establishes its allowance in accordance with guidance provided in ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses includes quantitative and qualitative factors that comprise management's current estimate of expected credit losses, including the Company's portfolio mix and segmentation, modeling methodology, historical loss experience, relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to reasonable and supportable forecasts about future economic conditions, prepayment speeds, and qualitative adjustment factors.

The Company's portfolio segments, established based on similar risk characteristics and loss behaviors, are:

•Commercial and industrial, owner-occupied commercial, commercial mortgages, construction and commercial small business leases (collectively, commercial loans), and

•Residential, equity secured lines and loans, installment loans, unsecured lines of credit and education loans (collectively, retail loans).

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term, adjusted for expected prepayments and recoveries. The contractual term excludes any extensions, renewals and modifications unless the Company has reasonable expectations at the reporting date that it will result in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) or they are not unconditionally cancellable. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

The allowance includes two primary components: (i) an allowance established on loans which share similar risk characteristics collectively evaluated for credit losses (collective basis) and (ii) an allowance established on loans which do not share similar risk characteristics with any loan segment and are individually evaluated for credit losses (individual basis).

Loans that share similar risk characteristics are collectively reviewed for credit loss and are evaluated based on historical loss experience, adjusted for current economic conditions and future economic forecasts. Estimated losses are determined differently for commercial and retail loans, and each portfolio segment is further segmented by internally assessed risk ratings.

The Company uses a third-party economic forecast to adjust the calculated historical loss rates of the portfolio segments. The Company's economic forecast extends out 6 quarters (the forecast period) and reverts to the historical loss rates on a straight-line basis over 4 quarters (the reversion period) as it believes this to be reasonable and supportable in the current environment. The economic forecast and reversion periods will be evaluated periodically by the Company and updated as appropriate.

The historical loss rates for commercial loans are estimated by determining the probability of default (PD) and expected loss given default (LGD). The probability of default is calculated based on the historical rate of migration to an event of credit loss during the look-back period. The historical loss rates for retail loans is calculated based solely on average net loss rates over the same look-back period. The current look-back period is 38 quarters which ensures historical loss rates are adequately considering losses within a full credit cycle.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with any loan segments are evaluated on an individual basis. These loans, which may include TDRs, are not included in the collective basis evaluation. When it is probable the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to their contractual terms, which is assessed based on the credit characteristics of the loan and/or payment status, these loans are individually reviewed and measured for potential credit loss.

The amount of the potential credit loss is measured using one of three methods: (i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (ii) the fair value of collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent; or (iii) the loan’s observable market price. If the measured fair value of the loan is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, an allowance for credit loss is recorded.

Table of Contents

For collateral dependent loans, the expected credit losses at the individual asset level is the difference between the collateral's fair value (less cost to sell) and the amortized cost.

Qualitative adjustment factors consider various internal and external conditions which are allocated among loan segments and take into consideration:

•Current underwriting policies, staff and portfolio concentrations,

•Risk rating accuracy, credit and administration,

•Internal risk emergence (including internal trends of delinquency, and criticized loans by segment),

•Economic forecasts and conditions - locally and nationally (including market trends impacting collateral values), and

•Competitive environment, as it could impact loan structure and underwriting.

These factors are based on their relative standing compared to the period in which historical losses are used in quantitative reserve estimates and current directional trends, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Qualitative factors in the model can add to or subtract from quantitative reserves.

The Company's loan officers and risk managers meet at least quarterly to discuss and review the conditions and risks associated with individual problem loans. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the Company's loan ratings and allowance for credit losses and the Bank's internal loan review department performs loan reviews.

Accrued interest receivable on loans is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and is included in Accrued interest receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

For additional detail regarding the allowance for credit losses and the provision for credit losses, see Note 7.

Past Due and Nonaccrual Loans

Past due loans are defined as loans contractually past due 30 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.

Nonaccruing loans are those on which the accrual of interest has ceased. 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 loan is not well secured and in the process of collection. 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 the Company’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of principal and interest. Loans are returned to accrual status when the Company assesses that the borrower has the ability to make all principal and interest payments in accordance with the terms of the loan (i.e. a consistent repayment record, generally six consecutive payments, has been demonstrated).

Unless loans are well-secured and collection is imminent, for loans greater than 90 days past due their respective reserves are generally charged off once the loss has been confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off and expected to be charged off.

A loan, for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession to the borrower experiencing financial difficulty, is considered a TDR. Principal balances are generally not forgiven when a loan is modified as a TDR. Nonaccruing restructured loans remain in nonaccrual status until there has been a period of sustained repayment performance demonstrated, as noted above, and repayment is reasonably assured.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law, which allows financial institutions to exclude eligible loan modifications from TDR reporting under its loan forbearance program. Eligible modifications must be related to the COVID-19 pandemic, executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of 60 days after the date of the termination of the national emergency or December 31, 2020. Management has elected to account and report eligible modifications under the provisions of the CARES Act.

For additional detail regarding past due and nonaccrual loans, see Note 7.

Table of Contents

Debt Securities

Investments in debt securities are classified into one of the following three categories and accounted for as follows:

•Securities purchased with the intent of selling them in the near future are classified as “trading” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.

•Securities purchased with the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” and reported at amortized cost.

•Securities not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity are classified as “available-for-sale” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of tax, as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses on sales of investment and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are determined using the specific identification method. All sales are made without recourse.

Debt securities mostly include mortgage-backed securities (MBS), municipal bonds, and U.S. government and agency securities. Premiums and discounts on MBS collateralized by residential 1-4 family loans are recognized in interest income using a level yield method over the period to expected maturity. Premiums and discounts on all other securities are recognized on a straight line basis over the period to expected maturity, with the exception of premiums on callable debt securities, which are recognized over the period to the earliest call date.

The fair value of debt securities is primarily obtained from third-party pricing services. Implicit in the valuation of MBS are estimated prepayments based on historical and current market conditions.

A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments are contractually past due 90 days or more. Interest accrued but not received for a security placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income.

The Company's investment portfolio is reviewed each quarter for indications of potential credit losses. Refer to the respective held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities sections for management's discussion of the allowance for credit loss for each portfolio.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Loss - Measured at Amortized Cost, to measure expected credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities on a collective basis by security investment grade. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information adjusted by a security's credit rating.

The Company classifies the held-to-maturity debt securities into the following major security types: state and political subdivisions, and foreign bonds. These securities are highly rated with a history of no credit losses, and are assigned ratings based on the most recent data from ratings agencies depending on the availability of data for the security. Credit ratings of held-to-maturity debt securities, which are a significant input in calculating the expected credit loss, are reviewed on a quarterly basis.

Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and is included in Accrued interest receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

The Company follows ASC 326-30, Financial Instruments - Credit Loss - Available-for-Sale Debt Securities, which provides guidance related to the recognition of and expanded disclosure requirements for expected credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first evaluates whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is reduced to fair value and recognized as a reduction to Noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

For debt securities available-for-sale which the Company does not intend to sell, or it is not likely the security would be required to be sold before recovery, it evaluates whether a decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other adverse factors, such as a change in the security's credit rating. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance is recorded, limited to the fair value of the security.

Table of Contents

The Company performs this analysis on a quarterly basis to review the conditions and risks associated with the individual securities. Credit losses on an impaired security shall continue to be measured using the present value of expected future cash flows. Any impairment not recorded through an allowance for credit loss is included in other comprehensive income (loss), net of the tax effect. The Company is required to use its judgment in determining impairment in certain circumstances.

For additional detail regarding debt securities, see Note 5.

Unfunded Lending Commitments

For unfunded lending commitments, the Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The estimate includes consideration of the probability of default and utilization rate at default to calculate expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded based on historical losses.

The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures is included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposure is included in Loan workout and other credit costs on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

For additional detail regarding the allowance for credit losses and the provision for credit losses, see Note 16.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2020

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with the current expected credit losses (CECL) methodology which requires management consideration and judgment of a broader range of information to determine credit loss estimates.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, clarifying that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of Topic 326. In December 2018, federal regulators issued a final rule related to regulatory capital and CECL (Regulatory Capital Rule: Implementation and Transition of the Current Expected Credit Losses Methodology for Allowances and Related Adjustments to the Regulatory Capital Rule and Conforming Amendments to Other Regulations), intended to provide regulatory capital relief for entities transitioning to CECL. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, providing entities the option to irrevocably elect the fair value option on eligible financial instruments, which excluded held-to-maturity debt securities. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, clarifying guidance on expected recoveries for purchased credit deteriorated financial assets, accrued interest receivable and collateral maintenance provisions and providing transition relief for troubled debt restructurings. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments, clarifying the contractual term of a net investment in a lease and the requirement to establish an allowance for credit loss when an entity regains control of sold financial assets.

While the CARES Act provided an option to defer implementation of the CECL methodology, the Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective approach for financial assets recorded at amortized cost with the exception of purchase credit deteriorated (PCD) assets, which were previously classified as purchase credit impaired (PCI) accounted for under ASC 310-30, adopted using the prospective approach. The cumulative effect of the adoption resulted in a $30.4 million decrease to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. Results and disclosures for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. For further details on the impact of the adoption, accounting policies, elections, and practical expedients applied, see updated Significant Accounting Policies and CECL disclosures throughout the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

The following table illustrates the impact of ASC 326 on loans, leases, purchased financial assets, debt securities, other assets and unfunded lending commitments compared to the incurred loss approach, as disclosed prior to adoption on January 1, 2020.

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 June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Bailment fees	$	3,080	$	6,908	$	8,161	$	13,807
Interchange fees	5,631		6,452		11,247		10,839
Other card and ATM fees	595		317		1,257		546
Total credit/debit card and ATM income	$	9,306	$	13,677	$	20,665	$	25,192

Credit/debit card and ATM income is composed of bailment fees, interchange fees, and other card and ATM fees are earned from bailment arrangements with customers. 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 customers' use at an offsite location, such as cash located in an ATM at a customer'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:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Trust fees	$	7,308	$	6,685	$	14,262	$	13,250
Wealth management and advisory fees	3,621		3,697		7,629		7,279
Total investment management and fiduciary income	$	10,929	$	10,382	$	21,891	$	20,529

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 and trustee services on structured finance transactions; indenture trustee, administrative agent and collateral agent services to institutions and corporations; commercial domicile and independent director services; and investment and trustee services to families and individuals across the U.S. 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. 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 West Capital, Cypress, Powdermill 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 quarterly and annual billing for the services.

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, cash 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

The following table presents the components of other income:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		2020		2019

Total other income	$	5,980	$	7,734	$	12,933	$	15,441

Other income consists of managed service fees, which are primarily courier fees related to cash management, currency preparation, ATM loss protection 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. Miscellaneous products and services include gains from the sale of SBA loans, which were higher during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and a non-recurring transfer of client accounts to a departing Wealth investment advisor in accordance with the buy-out provisions of the advisor's contract, which occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Arrangements with multiple performance obligations

The Company's contracts with customers 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 customers.

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.

See Note 15 for further information about the disaggregation of noninterest income by segment.

⁽¹⁾Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities.

Mortgage-backed securities (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 estimated weighted average duration of MBS was 1.3 years at June 30, 2020.

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 and foreign governments.

Investment securities with fair market values aggregating $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion were pledged as collateral for retail customer repurchase agreements, municipal deposits, and other obligations as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Total unrealized losses on these securities were $0.2 million at June 30, 2020. 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 June 30, 2020.

Table of Contents

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. 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. 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.

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 June 30, 2020 under the CECL model.

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 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, management included considerations of the current economic environment caused by COVID-19 in its evaluation, and determined based on the totality of its qualitative assessment that it is not more likely than not that the carrying value of goodwill is impaired. No goodwill impairment exists during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The following table shows the allocation of goodwill to the reportable operating segments for purposes of goodwill impairment testing:


(Dollars in thousands)	WSFS Bank		Cash Connect		Wealth Management		Consolidated Company

11. ASSOCIATE BENEFIT PLANS

Postretirement Medical Benefits

The Company shares certain costs of providing health and life insurance benefits to eligible retired Associates (employees) and their eligible dependents. Previously, all Associates were eligible for these benefits if they reached normal retirement age while working for the Company. Effective March 31, 2014, the Company changed the eligibility of this plan to include only those Associates who have achieved ten years of service as of March 31, 2014. The Company began to use the mortality table issued by the Office of the Actuary of the U.S. Bureau of Census in its calculation.

The Company accounts for its obligations under the provisions of ASC 715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (ASC 715). ASC 715 requires the recognition of the costs of these benefits over an Associate’s active working career. Amortization of unrecognized net gains or losses resulting from experience different from that assumed and from changes in assumptions is included as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the remaining service period of active employees to the extent that such gains and losses exceed 10% of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, as of the beginning of the year. The Company recognizes its service cost in Salaries, benefits and other compensation and the other components of net periodic benefit cost in Other operating expenses in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table presents the components of net periodic benefit cost related to postretirement medical benefits plan.

12. INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 requires the recording of deferred income taxes that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The company exercises significant judgment in the evaluation of the amount and timing of the recognition of the resulting tax assets and liabilities. The judgments and estimates required for the evaluation are updated based on changes in business factors and tax laws. If actual results differ from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating the amount and timing of tax recognized, there can be no assurance that additional expenses will not be required in future periods.

ASC 740 prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The Company recognizes, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the financial statements. Assessment of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740 requires careful consideration of the technical merits of a position based on an analysis of tax regulations and interpretations.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2020. The Company records interest and penalties on potential income tax deficiencies as income tax expense. The Company's federal and state tax returns for the 2016 through 2019 tax years are subject to examination as of June 30, 2020. The Company does not expect to record or realize any material unrecognized tax benefits during 2020.

As a result of the adoption of ASC 326 - Credit Losses on January 1, 2020, the tax impact relating to the incremental provision for expected credit losses from financial assets held at amortized cost has been reflected as a credit to retained earnings to reflect the tax impact of increased credit reserves. Accordingly, $8.5 million of such provision for credit losses has been reflected as an income tax credit and deferred tax asset on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

As a result of the CARES Act, an additional $1.8 million income tax benefit and deferred tax asset was recognized on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for details.

As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-01, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects, the amortization of the low-income housing credit investments has been reflected as income tax expense. Accordingly, $0.8 million and $0.6 million of such amortization has been reflected as income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.6 million and $1.3 million of such amortization has been reflected as income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The amount of affordable housing tax credits, amortization and tax benefits recorded as income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $1.4 million, $1.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The carrying value of the investment in affordable housing credits is $28.2 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $25.8 million at December 31, 2019.

13. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement - Overall (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.

Table of Contents

The following tables present financial instruments carried at fair value as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 by level in the valuation hierarchy (as described above):

Table of Contents

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 federal agency MBS 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 and 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 transactions 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.

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 and cash equivalents

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

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).

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

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by portfolio segments (see Note 2). For loans that reprice frequently, the book value approximates fair value. The fair values of other types of loans, 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.

Other assets

Other assets include the fair value of interest rate swaps and derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline. Valuation of interest rate swaps 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.

Table of Contents

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.

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.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities include the fair value of interest rate swaps, risk participation agreements and derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline. Valuation of interest rate swaps and risk participation agreements 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.

Off-balance sheet instruments

The fair value of off-balance sheet instruments, including standby letters of credit, approximates the recorded net deferred fee amounts, which are not significant. 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.

Assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

14. 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.

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 swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps 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.

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. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a variable rate loan pool.

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.

In April 2020, the Company terminated its three interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges for a net gain of $1.3 million. At this point, hedge accounting was discontinued, and the net gain was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Once a cash flow hedge is discontinued, the net gain or loss that remains in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) is reclassified into earnings when the transaction affects earnings. As the underlying hedged transaction continues to be probable, the $1.3 million net gain will be recognized into earnings on a straight-line basis over each derivative's original contract term. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $0.6 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $0.1 million was reclassified into interest income for both periods.

The table below presents the effect of the derivative financial instruments on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties, and has posted collateral of $9.0 million against its obligations under these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2020, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

15. 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 makers 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 Management.

The WSFS Bank segment provides financial products to commercial and retail customers. Retail and Commercial Banking, Commercial Real Estate Lending and other banking business units are operating departments of WSFS Bank. These departments share the same regulator, the same market, many of the same customers 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 in accordance with ASC 280.

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 retail safes nationwide. The balance sheet category Cash in non-owned ATMs includes cash from which fee income is earned through bailment arrangements with customers of Cash Connect^®.

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. WSFS Wealth Investments provides financial advisory services along with insurance and brokerage products. Cypress, a registered investment adviser, is a fee-only wealth management firm managing a “balanced” investment style portfolio focused on preservation of capital and generating current income. West Capital, a registered investment adviser, is a fee-only wealth management firm operating under a multi-family office philosophy to provide customized solutions to institutions and high-net-worth individuals. The institutional trust division of WSFS, WSFS Institutional Services, provides trustee, agency, bankruptcy administration, custodial and commercial domicile services to institutional and corporate clients. Christiana Trust DE, a subsidiary of WSFS, provides personal trust and fiduciary services to families and individuals across the U.S. Powdermill is a multi-family office specializing in providing independent solutions to high-net-worth individuals, families and corporate executives through a coordinated, centralized approach. WSFS Wealth Client Management serves high-net-worth clients by delivering credit and deposit products and partnering with other Wealth Management units to provide comprehensive solutions to clients.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Secondary Market Loan Sales

Given the current interest rate environment and the Company's overall asset and liability management approach, the Company typically sells newly originated residential mortgage loans in the secondary market to mortgage loan aggregators and on a more limited basis, to government sponsored entities (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 intangible assets in 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, Derivatives and Hedging (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 no repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to one repurchase for $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Swap Guarantees

The Company entered into agreements with four unrelated financial institutions whereby those financial institutions entered into interest rate derivative contracts (interest rate swap transactions) directly with customers referred to them by the Company. Under the terms of the agreements, those financial institutions have recourse to us for any exposure created under each swap transaction, only in the event that the customer 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 customers without creating the swap ourselves. These swap guarantees are accounted for as credit derivatives.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 213 and 172 variable-rate to fixed-rate swap transactions between the third-party financial institutions and the Company's customers, respectively. The initial notional aggregate amount was approximately $1.1 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $941.0 million at December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, maturities ranged from under 1 year to 15 years. The aggregate net market value of these swaps to the customers was a liability of $91.7 million at June 30, 2020 and a liability of $26.4 million at December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, 211 swaps, with a liability of $93.0 million, were in paying positions to a third party; however, none of the Company's customers were in default of the swap agreements. There were no payments made by the Company under the agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

Unfunded Lending Commitments

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the allowance for credit losses of unfunded lending commitments were $7.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The balance at June 30, 2020 was determined using the CECL methodology, which included a $3.0 million adjustment to retained earnings at the time of adoption. A provision for unfunded lending commitments of $3.4 million and $3.3 million was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and a provision for unfunded lending commitments of $0.3 million and $0.4 million was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, from time to time the Company enters into transactions with related parties, including, but not limited to, its officers and directors. These transactions are made on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral requirements, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers. They do not, in the opinion of management, involve greater than normal credit risk or include other features unfavorable to the Company. Any related party loans exceeding $0.5 million require review and approval by the Board of Directors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were two loans originated to related parties exceeding $0.5 million, both of which were sold during the second quarter. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no loans originated to related parties exceeding $0.5 million.

The outstanding balances of loans to related parties at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Total deposits from related parties at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $6.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2020, there were two new loans and credit line advances to related parties totaling $1.1 million and repayments were $0.7 million.

19. 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.

As previously disclosed, on February 27, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Universitas Education, LLC (Universitas) to resolve arbitration claims related to services provided by Christiana Bank and Trust Company (CB&T) prior to its acquisition by WSFS in December 2010. In accordance with the litigation settlement, the Company paid Universitas $12.0 million to fully settle the claims. During the third quarter of 2018, WSFS recovered $7.9 million in settlement and legal costs from insurance carriers that provided coverage relating to the Universitas matter. WSFS is pursuing all of its rights and remedies to recover the remaining amounts relating to the Universitas proceeding, including the Universitas settlement payment, legal fees and related costs, by enforcing the indemnity right in the 2010 purchase agreement by which WSFS acquired CB&T.

In March 2017, Nature’s Healing Trust (NHT) filed a complaint against WSFS Bank in the Delaware Court of Chancery. NHT asserts that WSFS Bank failed to provide timely notice concerning the possible lapse of two life settlement policies (aggregate face amount of $6.3 million) held in the trust. NHT asserts claims against WSFS Bank for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and negligence, and seeks the face value of the policies. WSFS Bank disputes the factual allegations and denies liability. WSFS Bank has, in accordance with its normal procedures, notified its insurance carriers of a possible claim. WSFS Bank is vigorously defending itself in this matter and believes it has valid factual and legal defenses.

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.

As of June 30, 2020, we service our customers primarily from 115 offices located in Pennsylvania (54), Delaware (43), New Jersey, (16), Virginia (1) and Nevada (1), our ATM network, our website at www.wsfsbank.com and our mobile app.

Recent Developments and Business Outlook

Our results during the first half of 2020 were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economic forecasts that drive the estimates we use to determine the provision for credit losses. Contributing to the magnitude of the pandemic's effect is our adoption, as of January 1, 2020, of, the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) method of accounting, which considers forward-looking information when establishing reserves for credit losses. Results during the first half of 2020 and other notable items include the following:

•The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in acute deterioration in the economic forecast used in our CECL modeling, resulting in additional provision for credit losses of $94.8 million and $151.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and an increase of $93.1 million and $184.6 million to the allowance for credit losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we also recorded $1.9 million of other COVID-19 related costs.

•WSFS recorded net realized gains on our equity investments of $22.1 million from the sale of 360,000 Visa Class B shares. Since our adoption of ASU 2016-01 in 1Q 2018, cumulative realized and unrealized gains and dividends on Visa Class B shares total $78.0 million.

•WSFS made a $3.0 million grant to the WSFS Community Foundation to address the impacts of COVID-19 on the communities we serve and provide long-term support for education, health and human services, and economic development in our communities.

•We began participating in some of the regulatory relief programs offered as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, including the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). During the second quarter of 2020, we provided nearly $1.0 billion in PPP loans for more than 5,400 new and existing WSFS Customers, supporting an estimated 100,000 jobs in our region. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we also recorded $1.8 million of PPP related costs. See "Recent Regulatory Developments" for further details.

•During March 2020, we began a phased approach to our retail office closures and our retail branch offices only accepted drive-thru services. During the second quarter of 2020, nearly two-thirds of our retail offices were servicing customers. The retail office closures have not significantly impacted our financial condition and results of operations, as our customer deposits remain intact and the fees and costs associated with our customer deposits remain under normal business operations. We continue to serve Customers through drive-thru locations and have begun a carefully planned and phased approach to opening previously closed office and banking locations that aligns with Federal, State and local guidance.

•During the second quarter of 2020, and subsequent to June 30, 2020, Cash Connect^® expanded its ATM network by adding over 150 ATMs to serve Delaware and the greater Philadelphia region. The number of owned and branded ATMs increased to 571 as of June 30, 2020, and to approximately 640 in the third quarter of 2020, through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

For a discussion of additional risk factors relating to COVID-19, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors."

Looking ahead, the continuation of the economic effects of COVID-19 and actions taken in response to it, including the impacts of loan forbearances and other provisions of the CARES Act and other federal and state measures, may adversely impact our business and results of operations and the operations of our borrowers, customers and business partners. The uncertainty regarding the duration of the pandemic and the resulting economic disruption has caused increased market volatility and has led to an economic recession and a significant decrease in consumer confidence and business generally. The continuation of these conditions (including whether due to a resurgence or a second wave of COVID-19 infections, particularly as the geographic areas in which we operate begin to re-open) and their ultimate impact of these factors is highly uncertain at this time and we do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the decline in economic conditions generally and a prolonged negative impact on small to medium sized businesses, in particular, due to COVID-19 may result in an adverse effect to our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information about these risks and uncertainties, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $1.3 billion to $13.6 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. This increase is primarily comprised of the following (in descending order of magnitude):

•Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $695.8 million which included:

◦An increase of $945.1 million from PPP loans and growth across CRE, construction, commercial small business leases, and home equity installment loans originated through our partnership with Spring EQ.

◦A decline during the year of $371.0 million in non-relationship run-off portfolios primarily acquired from the Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. (Beneficial) acquisition; and

◦Total provision for credit losses of $151.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, significant deterioration in economic forecasts and portfolio credit migration.

•Cash and cash equivalents increased $384.0 million, primarily reflecting excess cash held due to increased deposits related to PPP loans and CARES Act payments, offset by a decline of $46.6 million from improved cash optimization at Cash Connect^® due to an increased use of external funding sources to support the bailment, cash management and smart safe lines of business offset by changes in seasonality.

•Investment securities increased $244.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to $535.1 million in purchases and favorable market-value changes on available-for-sale securities of $47.8 million, partially offset by repayments of $232.4 million and sales of $107.0 million.

•Other investments decreased $59.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as we sold 360,000 Visa Class B shares.

Total liabilities increased $1.3 billion to $11.8 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. These increases are primarily comprised of the following (in descending order of magnitude):

•Total deposits increased by $1.5 billion, primarily due to:

◦An increase of $1.4 billion in customer funding, reflecting an estimated $0.7 billion of deposits from Customers who received PPP loans, the impact of government stimulus checks, delayed tax payment and less customer spending during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ratio of loans to customer deposits was 86% at June 30, 2020 reflecting significant liquidity capacity; and

◦An increase of $30.6 million in brokered deposits.

•Federal funds purchased decreased $195.0 million due to the increase in customer funding, as described above.

Capital Resources

Share Repurchases: During the first quarter of 2020, we repurchased $38.7 million, or 1,004,348 shares of common stock at an average price of $38.53 per share, completing our share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in the fourth quarter of 2018. Also in the first quarter, the Board of Directors approved a new share purchase authorization of 7,594,977 shares, or 15% of outstanding shares. However, in the first quarter of 2020, we temporarily suspended all share repurchases until we have a clearer long-term view of the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and our performance.

Stockholders’ equity of WSFS decreased $26.6 million between December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to $38.7 million for repurchases of common stock under the previously announced stock repurchase plan, a $30.4 million impact to retained earnings due to the adoption of CECL, and the payment of dividends on our common stock of $12.2 million, partially offset by $47.8 million from the effect of market-value changes on available-for-sale securities and $3.8 million of income attributable to WSFS for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on August 20, 2020 to stockholders of record as of August 6, 2020.

Book value per share of common stock was $36.00 at June 30, 2020, an increase of $0.12 from $35.88 at December 31, 2019. Tangible book value per share of common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $24.89 at June 30, 2020, an increase of $0.04 from $24.85 at December 31, 2019. 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.

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 leveraged and risk-based capital measures and certain other factors. Depository institutions that are not classified as well-capitalized are subject to various restrictions regarding 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. PPP loans receive a zero percent risk weighting under the regulators' capital rules.

As part of our adoption of CECL, we elected the Implementation and Transition of the Current Expected Credit Losses Methodology for Allowances and Related Adjustments to the Regulatory Capital Rule and Conforming Amendments to Other Regulations, which permits the Company to phase in the day-one adverse effects on regulatory capital that may result from the adoption of CECL over a three-year period. In addition, the final rule revises the agencies' regulatory capital rule, stress testing rules, and regulatory disclosure requirements to reflect CECL, and makes conforming amendments to other regulations that reference allowance for credit losses.

As shown in the table above, as of June 30, 2020, the Bank and the Company were in compliance with regulatory capital requirements and 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 $97.2 million in cash to support share repurchases, potential dividends, acquisitions, strategic growth plans and other general corporate purposes.

As a result of the three-year period phase-in related to our CECL adoption, the impact (by bps) to our capital ratios were as follows:

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, retail deposit programs, 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents increased $384.0 million to $955.8 million from $571.8 million as of December 31, 2019. Cash provided by operating activities was $80.4 million, primarily reflecting the cash impact of earnings and gains of $24.7 million from the sale of debt and equity securities (including Visa Class B shares), offset by a $26.3 million increase in net activity for loans held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, to avoid limitations 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 on top of each of the risk-based capital ratios. Cash used in investing activities was $0.9 billion due to $839.6 million from increased lending activity related to PPP loans and net purchases of debt securities of $302.7 million, offset by proceeds of $109.6 million from sales of debt securities and net proceeds of $85.9 million from the sale of Visa Class B shares. Cash provided in financing activities was $1.2 billion, primarily due to a $1.5 billion net increase in deposits, as a result of the increase in customer funding discussed above, offset by $195.0 million for repayment of federal funds purchased, $38.7 million for repurchases of common stock under the previously announced stock repurchase plan and common stock dividends of $12.2 million.

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 and past due loans at the dates indicated, which presents the portfolio segment totals at the amortized cost in accordance with our adoption of CECL at June 30, 2020, and at the unpaid principal balance under the incurred loss methodology at December 31, 2019:

⁽³⁾Represents amortized cost basis for loans, leases and held-to-maturity securities.

Nonperforming assets increased $5.1 million between December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily the result of the move of one commercial relationship totaling approximately $7.3 million to non-accrual, partially offset by collection efforts, which includes both continued monthly payments and a few modest payoffs. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was relatively flat as compared to December 31, 2019.

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.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act was enacted to provide certain measures to support individuals and businesses in maintaining solvency through monetary relief, including in the form of financing and automatic forbearance. During the second quarter of 2020, through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we modified approximately $2.1 billion of loans and leases to provide our customers this monetary relief, most of which was short-term in duration. These modified loans are not reflected in our nonperforming assets described above.

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. We rely primarily on our asset/liability structure to control interest rate risk.

The matching of 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 is our primary tool for achieving our asset/liability management strategies. We regularly review our interest rate sensitivity and adjust the sensitivity within acceptable tolerance ranges. At June 30, 2020, interest-earning assets exceeded interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within one year (interest-sensitive gap) by $942.9 million. Our interest-sensitive assets as a percentage of interest-sensitive liabilities within the one-year window was 117.92% at June 30, 2020 compared with 95.02% at December 31, 2019. Likewise, the one-year interest-sensitive gap as a percentage of total assets was 6.95% at June 30, 2020 compared with (2.06)% at December 31, 2019.

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, which we are required to perform by federal regulation, measures 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

⁽¹⁾The percentage difference between net interest margin in a stable interest rate environment and net interest margin as projected under the various rate change environments.

⁽²⁾The economic value of equity ratio in a stable interest rate environment and the economic value of equity ratio as projected under the various rate change environments.

⁽³⁾Sensitivity indicated by a decrease of 200 and 300 basis points is not deemed meaningful (NMF) given the low absolute level of interest rates in the periods presented.

We also engage in other business activities that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, mortgage banking revenues and expenses can fluctuate with changing interest rates. These fluctuations are difficult to model and estimate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2020: For the three months ended June 30, 2020, there was a net loss of $7.1 million compared to net income of $36.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

•Net interest income decreased $9.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a lower interest rate environment and a decrease in purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by the positive impact of PPP income. See “Net Interest Income” for further information.

•Our provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $82.6 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its continued impact on the economic forecast used in our CECL modeling. The main drivers for the increased provision for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were loan migration that occurred during the quarter in several specific portfolios as well as additional deterioration in our economic forecast model. See “Provision/Allowance for Credit Losses” for further information.

•Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $21.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the gain recognized on the sale of Visa Class B shares. See “Noninterest (Fee) Income” for further information.

•Noninterest expense decreased $14.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, as net corporate development and restructuring costs related to our acquisition of Beneficial decreased by $13.0 million and other operating costs (which includes occupancy, equipment, data processing and operations expenses) decreased by $4.8 million, partially offset by an increase of $3.2 million for unfunded commitment reserves. See “Noninterest Expense” for further information.

Six months ended June 30, 2020: For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net income was $3.8 million compared to $49.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

•Net interest income increased $23.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a full six month impact of the Beneficial acquisition in the current period, in addition to the positive impact of PPP loans in the current quarter. See “Net Interest Income” for further information.

•Our provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $131.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its continued impact on the economic forecast used in our CECL modeling. See “Provision/Allowance for Credit Losses” for further information.

•Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $21.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the sale of our Visa Class B shares, as described above, and growth across most of our business lines with the full impact of the Beneficial acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2020, offset by lower net unrealized gains of $4.2 million on our equity investments during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. See “Noninterest (Fee) Income” for further information.

•Noninterest expense decreased $23.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, as net corporate development and restructuring costs related to our acquisition of Beneficial decreased by $42.7 million, partially offset by $9.3 million of higher employee-related costs to support organic and merger-related growth, $5.0 million increase in other operating costs (which includes occupancy, equipment, data processing and operations expenses, and the contribution to WSFS Community Foundation) and $4.2 million of higher professional fees. See “Noninterest Expense” for further information.

Table of Contents

Three months ended June 30, 2020: During the three months ended June 30, 2020, net interest income decreased $9.5 million from the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the lower rate environment and a $3.7 million decrease in purchase accounting accretion, partially offset by $4.8 million of net interest income from PPP loans which included $3.1 million of fee accretion. Net interest margin was 3.93% for the second quarter of 2020, a 75 basis points decrease compared to 4.68% for the second quarter of 2019 due to the lower interest rate environment, lower purchase accounting accretion, impact of PPP loans and asset mix from the significant short-term liquidity increase in customer deposits.

Six months ended June 30, 2020: During the six months ended June 30, 2020, net interest income increased $23.4 million from the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to a full six month impact of the Beneficial acquisition in the current year and the impact of net interest income from PPP loans described above. Net interest margin was 4.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a 38 basis points decrease compared to 4.52% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to higher purchase accounting accretion partially offset by the current significantly lower interest rate environment and expected margin compression due to Beneficial's lower-margin balance sheet.

Provision/Allowance for Credit Losses

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we adopted the CECL method of accounting for loans and leases, and our held-to-maturity debt securities portfolio, which considers forward-looking information when establishing reserves for credit losses. We maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level based on our assessment of estimable and expected losses in the loan portfolio. Our allowance for credit losses is based on our historical loss experience that includes the inherent risk of our loans and various other factors including but not limited to, collateral values, trends in asset quality, level of delinquent loans and concentrations. Further, regional and national economic forecasts are considered in our expected credit losses. Our evaluation is based on a review of the portfolio and requires significant, complex and difficult judgments.

The provision for credit losses was $94.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $82.6 million from the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the provision for credit losses was $151.4 million, an increase of $131.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2019. These increases were primarily due to acute deterioration in the economic forecast used in our CECL models related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and loan migration that occurred during the quarter in several specific portfolios, mainly in the accommodation and food service industries.

The allowance for credit losses increased to $232.2 million at June 30, 2020 from $47.6 million at December 31, 2019. Of this increase, $35.9 million was due to our adoption of CECL as of January 1, 2020 and $151.4 million was due to the additional provision for credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases was 2.45% at June 30, 2020 and 0.56% at December 31, 2019. The ratio of net charge-offs to average gross loans net of unearned income, which excludes loans held for sale and reverse mortgages, was 0.06% (annualized) and 0.22% at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The allowance for credit losses was 887% of nonaccruing loans at June 30, 2020, compared to 121% at June 30, 2019. See Note 7 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Noninterest (Fee) Income

Three months ended June 30, 2020: During the three months ended June 30, 2020, noninterest (fee) income was $64.4 million, an increase of $21.5 million from $42.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and includes an increase of $21.0 million in the amount of net realized and unrealized gains on equity investments, as described above. Excluding this increase, noninterest income increased $0.5 million primarily due to an increase of $5.6 million in mortgage banking activities, partially offset by a $4.4 million decrease in Cash Connect^® due to the impact of a lower interest rate environment, and a $1.2 million decrease in traditional banking-related fee income as a result of lower fees due to the higher average customer balances.

Six months ended June 30, 2020: During the six months ended June 30, 2020, noninterest (fee) income was $105.2 million, an increase of $21.2 million from $84.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, and includes an increase of $17.9 million in the amount of net realized and unrealized gain on equity investments, as described above. Excluding this increase, noninterest income increased $3.4 million primarily due to an increase of $7.0 million in mortgage banking activities, a $2.5 million increase in securities gains, net, and a $1.4 million increase in fiduciary and investment management income. These increases were partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease in Cash Connect^®, as described above, a $2.5 million decrease in other income, and a $1.0 million decrease in deposit service charges due to lower transaction volume in the current period as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For further information, see Note 3 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Expense

Three months ended June 30, 2020: Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $93.4 million, a decrease of $14.4 million from $107.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Excluding a decrease of $13.0 million in net corporate development and restructuring costs related to our acquisition of Beneficial, noninterest expense decreased $1.4 million from the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease includes $4.8 million of lower operating costs and occupancy costs, including spend on travel and entertainment due to COVID-19, offset by an increases of $3.2 million in unfunded commitment reserve expense and the COVID-19 and PPP related costs described above.

Six months ended June 30, 2020: Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $181.9 million, a decrease of $23.5 million from $205.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Excluding a decrease of $42.7 million in net corporate development and restructuring costs related to our acquisition of Beneficial, and a $3.0 million contribution to the WSFS Community Foundation during the first quarter of 2020, noninterest expense increased $16.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to a $9.3 million increase in salaries, benefits, and other compensation, a $4.2 million increase in professional fees, and an increase of $3.4 million in unfunded commitment reserve expense

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 benefit of $2.2 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $10.1 million and $16.4 million for the same periods in 2019.

Our effective tax rate was 22.3% and (53.4)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 21.9% and 25.1% for the same periods in 2019. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased primarily due to nondeductible expenses associated with the acquisition of Beneficial incurred during the first quarter of 2019. Nondeductible acquisition costs of $8.2 million were recognized during the first quarter of 2019, whereas none were incurred in the comparable period in 2020. In addition, we recognized $1.8 million in tax benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to tax law changes contained in the CARES Act (see "Recent Regulatory Developments"), related to the ability to carry back certain acquired net operating losses to prior years where the statutory tax rate was higher than the current statutory tax rate. Finally, the tax benefit related to stock-based compensation activity during the six months ended June 30, 2020 pursuant to ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), decreased compared to the prior year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, a $0.2 million tax expense and a less than $0.1 million tax benefit was recognized, respectively, compared to a tax benefit of $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the same periods in 2019.

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, 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, nondeductible acquisition costs 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.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations at June 30, 2020 did not significantly change from our contractual obligations at December 31, 2019, which are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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 used to determine the allowance for credit losses, deferred taxes, fair value measurements, 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 assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although our current estimates contemplate current economic conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, for the remainder of 2020, 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 June 30, 2020 did not significantly change from our critical accounting estimates at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which are disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020, and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Recent regulatory developments at June 30, 2020 did not significantly change from our recent regulatory developments at December 31, 2019, which are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as noted below.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted, providing wide ranging economic relief for individuals and businesses impacted by COVID-19. Among other things, the statute created the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and funded it with $349 billion. The PPP is a stimulus response to the potential economic impacts of COVID-19, and its purpose is to provide forgivable loans to smaller businesses that use the proceeds of the loans for payroll and certain other qualifying expenses. The Small Business Administration (SBA) manages and backs the PPP. If a loan is fully forgiven, SBA will repay the lending bank in full. If a loan is partially forgiven or not forgiven at all, a bank must look to the borrower for repayment of unforgiven principal and interest. If the borrower defaults, the loan is guaranteed by SBA.

On April 6, 2020, WSFS Bank began participating in the PPP, We processed PPP loan applications until April 16, 2020, when the SBA announced that it had exhausted the $349 billion appropriated in the CARES Act, and stopped accepting PPP applications. On April 24, 2020, the President signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, which supplemented certain programs established by the CARES Act and provided $310 billion in additional funding for the PPP. During the second quarter of 2020, we provided nearly $1.0 billion in PPP loans for more than 5,400 new and existing WSFS Customers. The statute did not change the PPP loan application deadline of June 30, 2020, set by the CARES Act.

We are also providing a number of customer relief programs in our commercial and retail portfolios, such as payment deferrals or interest only payments on loans and leases, disaster assistance, and waiving minimum deposit balance and direct deposit requirements as well as early withdrawal penalties for CDs or IRAs. Additionally, we are offering new lines of credit or increases to existing lines of credit and increased remote deposit limits for those individuals and businesses impacted by COVID-19. During the second quarter of 2020, we have modified approximately $2.1 billion of loans and leases to provide our customers this monetary relief.

The CARES Act also provides us with an opportunity to carry back net operating losses (NOLs) arising from 2018, 2019 and 2020 to the prior five tax years. We have such NOLs reflected on our balance sheet as a portion of our current tax receivables, which were previously valued at the federal corporate income tax rate of 21%. However, the provisions of the CARES Act provide for NOL carryback claims to be calculated based on a rate of 35%, which was the federal corporate tax rate in effect for the carryback years. Consequently, effective June 30, 2020, we have revalued the benefit from its NOLs to reflect a 35% tax rate.

Transition from London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR)

In 2014, a committee of private-market derivative participants and their regulators, the Alternative Reference Rate Committee (ARRC), was convened by the Federal Reserve to identify an alternative reference interest rate to replace LIBOR. In June 2017, the ARRC announced the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR), a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative to LIBOR. In July 2017, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR to the administrator of LIBOR after 2021. In April 2018, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York began to publish SOFR rates on a daily basis, and the ARRC and other institutions continue to take steps to advance SOFR as an alternative benchmark.

Given LIBOR’s extensive use across financial markets, the transition away from LIBOR presents various risks and challenges to financial markets and institutions, including to the Company. The Company’s commercial and consumer businesses issue, trade, and hold various products that are indexed to LIBOR. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $1.7 billion of loans and $901.2 million of derivatives that are utilized for customer guarantees, indexed to LIBOR, that mature after 2021. In addition, the Company had approximately $167.0 million of debt securities outstanding that are indexed to LIBOR (either currently or in the future) as of June 30, 2020. The Company has one investment security totaling $0.5 million, and no repurchase and resale agreements or FHLB advances indexed to LIBOR as of June 30, 2020.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the future of LIBOR, it is expected that the transition will span several reporting periods through, and potentially beyond, the end of 2021. A cross-functional team from Finance, Lending, Risk and IT is leading our efforts to monitor this activity and evaluate the related risks and potential process changes arising from the transition from LIBOR. We have completed our initial assessment efforts, including our internal risk assessment procedures, and the cross-functional team is working towards the migration of our existing contracts and system implementation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have not been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except noted as below.

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the impact of actions to mitigate the spread of the virus could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Federal, state and local governments have enacted various restrictions in an attempt to limit the spread of COVID-19. Such measures have disrupted economic activity and contributed to job losses and reductions in consumer and business spending. In response to the economic and financial effects of COVID-19, the Federal Reserve Board has sharply reduced interest rates and instituted quantitative easing measures as well as domestic and global capital market support programs. In addition, the Trump Administration, Congress, various federal agencies and state governments have taken measures to address the economic and social consequences of the pandemic, including the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act.

The CARES Act, among other things, provides certain measures to support individuals and businesses in maintaining solvency through monetary relief, including in the form of financing, loan forgiveness and automatic forbearance. Beginning April 6, 2020, we began processing loan applications under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) created under the CARES Act. All of the federal banking regulatory agencies have encouraged lenders to extend additional loans, and the federal government is considering additional stimulus and support legislation focused on providing aid to various sectors, including small businesses. We are also making a high level of loan modifications under our deferred payment program. The full impact on our lending and other business activities as a result of new government and regulatory policies, programs and guidelines, as well as regulators’ reaction to such activities, remains uncertain.

The continuation of the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a destabilizing effect on financial markets, key market indices and overall economic activity. The uncertainty regarding the duration of the pandemic and the resulting economic disruption has caused increased market volatility and has led to an economic recession and a significant decrease in consumer confidence and business generally. The continuation of these conditions (including whether due to a resurgence or a second wave of COVID-19 infections, particularly as the geographic areas in which we operate begin to re-open), as well as the impacts of the CARES Act and other federal and state measures, specifically with respect to loan forbearances, has adversely affected our results of operations and financial condition, and have and can be expected to further adversely impact our businesses and results of operations and the operations of our borrowers, customers and business partners. In particular, these events have had, and/or can be expected to continue to have, the following effects, among other things:

•impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or other obligations, resulting in increases in delinquencies and modifications to loans;

•impair the value of collateral securing loans (particularly with respect to real estate);

•impair the value of our assets, including our securities portfolio, goodwill and intangible assets;

•require an increase in our allowance for credit losses, particularly in light of our adoption of CECL in the first quarter of 2020;

•adversely affect the stability of our deposit base or otherwise impair our liquidity;

•reduce our revenues from fee-based services, including wealth management and the demand for our products and services;

•negatively impact our self-insurance healthcare costs;

•create stress on our operations and systems associated with our participation in the PPP as a result of high demand and volume of applications;

•result in increased compliance risk as we become subject to new regulatory and other requirements, including new and changing guidance, associated with the PPP and other new programs in which we participate;

•impair the ability of loan guarantors to honor commitments;

•negatively impact our regulatory capital ratios;

•negatively impact the productivity and availability of key personnel and other Associates necessary to conduct our business, and of third-party service providers who perform critical services for us, or otherwise cause operational failures due to changes in our normal business practices necessitated by the pandemic and related governmental actions; and

Table of Contents

•increase cyber and payment fraud risk and other operational risks, given increased online and remote activity, which may adversely affect the realization of the anticipated benefits of our Delivery Transformation initiative.

Prolonged measures by health or other governmental authorities encouraging or requiring significant restrictions on travel, assembly or other core business practices could further harm our business and those of our customers, in particular our small to medium sized business customers. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that they will be effective.

Our loan portfolio includes loans that are in forbearance but which are not classified as TDRs because they were current at the time forbearance began. When the forbearance periods end, we may be required to classify a substantial portion of these loans as problem loans.

Our results of operations have been adversely affected by the factors described above. For example, in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 these factors caused a substantial increase in our provision for credit losses and the amount of our problem loans. While the ultimate impact of these factors over the longer term is uncertain and we do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole, nor the pace of economic recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the decline in economic conditions generally and a prolonged negative impact on small to medium sized businesses, in particular, due to COVID-19 is likely to result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations in future periods, and may heighten many of our known risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase program that enables us to repurchase up to 3,136,978 shares of common stock after the closing of our acquisition of Beneficial, which occurred on March 1, 2019. 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 return a minimum of 25% of annual net income to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases while maintaining capital ratios in excess of “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of 7,594,977 shares, or 15% of outstanding shares as of March 31, 2020; however, we have temporarily suspended all share repurchases until we have a clearer long-term view on the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and our performance. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, no repurchases of shares of common stock were made under the Company's new share repurchase program.
