WILMINGTON, Del. — WSFS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: WSFS), the parent company of WSFS Bank, reported net income of $17.5 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2016 compared to net income of $12.2 million, or $0.43 per share for the second quarter of 2015 and net income of $15.8 million, or $0.52 per share for the first quarter of 2016.

CEO outlook and commentary:

Mark A. Turner, President and CEO, said, “Our strong second quarter 2016 results reflect solid fundamental performance and the continued success of our balanced growth strategy. Growth in earnings came from all of our business lines, and our strong net interest income performance reflects our disciplined approach to loan and deposit growth while maintaining our margins in this highly competitive market. We reported a core ROA of 1.23% or an increase of 23% from the same period last year and core EPS of $0.58, an increase of 32% from the second quarter of 2015, which is excellent progress towards our 2016 and strategic plan goals.

“Our second quarter results showed 4 percentage points of positive operating leverage and an efficiency ratio of 59.5% as our robust growth in core net revenues was greater than our growth in core noninterest expenses excluding the one-time legal reserve taken this quarter.

“In August we expect to complete our previously announced merger with Penn Liberty Bank in southeastern Pennsylvania. This would represent our 4th acquisition in 4 years, including 3 strong local community institutions in the last 3 years, expanding our product offerings and geographic footprint.

“During the quarter we also received the 2016 Gallup Great Workplace Award, which further demonstrates our commitment to, and the success of, our strategy of ‘Engaged Associates delivering Stellar Experiences growing Customer Advocates and value for our Owners’.”

Second Quarter 2016 Discussion of Financial Results

Continued solid growth in net interest income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2016 was $46.4 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 19% compared to the second quarter of 2015. The net interest margin increased 19 basis points (bps) to 3.90% over the previous year. These year-over-year increases in margin dollars and percentages reflect the impact of organic and acquisition growth, continued pricing discipline while improving balance sheet mix and positive performance of purchased loans and reverse mortgages.

Compared to the first quarter of 2016, net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 2% (not annualized), and net interest margin increased 3bps. The main driver of this increase was higher reverse mortgage income and improved mix.

Loan Portfolio growth includes a 13% annualized increase in C&I loans

Net loans at June 30, 2016 were $3.83 billion, an increase of $40.0 million, or 4% (annualized) over March 31, 2016. The growth in loans was the result of a 13% (annualized) increase in C&I loans ($64.0 million) and a 17% (annualized) increase in Consumer loans ($15.1 million) which were partially offset by a decline in Construction loans due to expected payoff activity in this portfolio.

Compared to the second quarter of 2015, net loans increased $490.3 million or 15%. This strong year-over-year loan growth was spread across most loan categories and included the loans from the acquisition of Alliance Bank in late 2015 and continued healthy organic growth of $215.6 million, or 6%.

Credit quality continues favorable trends

Credit quality metrics continued favorable trends and remained at or near historically strong levels. Total nonperforming assets were $31.6 million at June 30, 2016, a $6.1 million, or 16% (not annualized) improvement from March 31, 2016, mainly driven by a reduction in nonaccruing loans. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio improved to 0.54% at June 30, 2016 from 0.66% at March 31, 2016.

Delinquencies increased $1.8 million from March 31, 2016 to $24.7 million, but remained a very low 0.64% of gross loans (which includes nonperforming delinquencies) at June 30, 2016.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2016 were $1.1 million, or only 11bps of total net loans on an annualized basis, an increase from $313,000, or 3bps (annualized) in the first quarter of 2016, and a decrease from $2.5 million, or 30bps (annualized), in the second quarter of 2015.

Total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan workout expenses, OREO expenses and other credit reserves) were $1.3 million for both the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and decreased $2.8 million from the second quarter of 2015, which included a large provision expense for one C&I loan that was fully resolved in the second quarter of 2016.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) to total gross loans was 0.98% at June 30, 2016, approximately equal to 0.99% at March 31, 2016. Excluding the balances for acquired loans (marked-to-market at acquisition), the ALLL to total gross loans ratio would have been 1.09% at June 30, 2016 and 1.10% at March 31, 2016. The ALLL increased to 259% of nonaccruing loans at June 30, 2016 from 190% at March 31, 2016.

Customer funding reflects impact of public funding balances

Total customer funding was $3.84 billion at June 30, 2016, a $39.0 million decrease from March 31, 2016 which included a $29.5 million seasonal decrease in public funding account balances and the purposeful decrease of $20.5 million in higher-cost CDs during the quarter. These factors were partially offset by a $22.1 million, or 5% (annualized) growth in low-cost relationship checking deposit accounts.

Compared to June 30, 2015, total customer funding increased $487.2 million, or 15%. In addition to the deposits gained from the acquisition of Alliance Bank, organic customer funding growth was $166.5 million, or 5% year-over-year.

At June 30, 2016 core deposits represented a robust 85% of total customer funding, and low-cost relationship checking deposit accounts represented 46% of total customer funding. The loan to customer funding ratio was also a healthy 101% at June 30, 2016.

Double-digit growth continued in fee income over prior year

Core fee income (noninterest income)(2) increased $2.3 million, or 11% when compared to the same period a year ago. This came from across-the-board growth, including a $791,000 increase in credit/debit card and ATM income mainly from growth in CashConnect (our ATM division) as well as increases in our Wealth division which drove a $575,000 increase in investment management and fiduciary revenue. Additionally, deposit service charges grew $243,000 and strong growth in WSFS Mortgage, our residential mortgage loan origination business, drove a $226,000 increase in mortgage banking activities over the prior year.

Compared to the first quarter of 2016, core fee income increased $1.5 million, or 7% (not annualized). Key growth drivers included an increase of $1.0 million in investment management and fiduciary revenue driven by seasonal client tax return preparation fees, an increase in credit/debit card and ATM income of $352,000, and an increase in mortgage banking activities of $162,000.

Our fee income for the second quarter of 2016 is a robust 35% of total revenue and our performance reflects continued strength and diversity of our revenue streams.

Noninterest expense reflects franchise and organic growth

Core noninterest expense(2) for the second quarter of 2016 was $43.5 million, an increase of $5.5 million when compared to the second quarter of 2015. Contributing to the year-over-year increase was $1.4 million of ongoing operating costs from the addition of the Alliance franchise as well as the previously mentioned legal reserve of $950,000 recorded during the second quarter of 2016. The remaining increase reflects higher compensation and related costs due to both added staff to support the significant organic and acquisition growth and increased performance-based incentive costs.

Core noninterest expense increased $848,000 when compared to the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the one-time legal reserve, expenses actually decreased by $102,000 as the first quarter included customary seasonal items in salaries, benefits and other compensation as well as occupancy-related costs that are typically higher in the first quarter of each year.

Selected Business Segments (included in previous results):

Wealth Management segment fee revenue grew 11% over the prior year

The Wealth Management segment provides a broad array of fiduciary, investment management, credit and deposit products to clients through four businesses. WSFS Wealth Investments provides insurance and brokerage products primarily to our retail banking clients. Cypress Capital Management, LLC is a registered investment advisor with approximately $649 million in assets under management (AUM). Cypress’ primary market segment is high net worth individuals, offering a “balanced” investment style focused on preservation of capital and providing for current income. Christiana Trust, with $12.7 billion in assets under management and administration, provides fiduciary and investment services to personal trust clients, and trustee, agency, bankruptcy administration, custodial and commercial domicile services to corporate and institutional clients. WSFS Private Banking serves high net worth clients by delivering credit and deposit products and partnering with other business units to deliver investment management and fiduciary products and services

Total Wealth Management revenue (net interest income, fiduciary fees and other fee income) was $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2016. This represented an increase of $573,000, or 6% compared to the second quarter of 2015 and an increase of $752,000, or 9% (not annualized) compared to the first quarter of 2016. Included in this increase, fee revenue increased $626,000, or 11%, compared to the second quarter of 2015 and $994,000, or 18%, compared to the first quarter of 2016. The year-over-year and quarterly growth reflects continued growth in several Wealth business lines, with particular strength in bankruptcy administration, corporate trust services, seasonal tax preparation fees and the partnership with WSFS Mortgage in the delivery of mortgage products to Private Banking clients.

Total noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations and provision for loan losses and credit costs) was $6.1 million during the second quarter of 2016 compared to $5.9 million during the second quarter of 2015 and $5.8 million during the first quarter of 2016. The year-over-year increase in costs was due primarily to increased incentive compensation expense due to higher revenue and other infrastructure costs necessary to support the continuing growth of the Wealth Management business.

Pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2016 was $3.4 million compared to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 and was driven by the above-mentioned factors.

Cash Connect revenue increases 12% over same quarter 2015.

Cash Connect® is a premier provider of ATM vault cash and smart safe and cash logistics services in the United States. Cash Connect® services over 18,000 non-bank ATMs and retail safes nationwide with over $700 million in cash and also operates over 440 ATMs for WSFS Bank, which has the largest branded ATM network in Delaware.

Our Cash Connect® division recorded $7.7 million in net revenue (fee income less funding costs) in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $826,000, or 12% from the second quarter of 2015, reflecting significant organic growth. Net revenue increased $408,000 compared to the first quarter of 2016 and reflects growth and some impact from normal seasonality. Noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations of expense) was $5.6 million during the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $563,000 from the second quarter of 2015 and a decrease of $8,000 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Cash Connect® reported pre-tax income of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2016, which was an increase from both $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Cash Connect continues to experience significant year-over-year fee income growth resulting from the expansion of its core business offerings of ATM Vault Cash and related Total Cash Management services. This continued growth has been driven by expanding our relationships with some of the largest Independent ATM deployers in the United States. Our Cash Connect division is also promoting its new smart safe, cash logistics offering which will be an added source of fee income as it grows.

Income taxes

The Company recorded an $8.5 million income tax provision in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2016 and a $6.9 million tax provision in the second quarter of 2015.

The effective tax rate was 32.7% in the second quarter of 2016, 35.5% in the first quarter of 2016 and 36.0% in the second quarter of 2015. The second quarter 2016 effective rate was impacted by the tax benefit resulting from the previously mentioned adoption of a new accounting pronouncement related to stock based compensation.

 

9


The second quarter 2016 effective tax rate excluding this item was 35.4%. This new guidance will continue to have an impact on the effective tax rate in future periods depending on stock-based compensation grants and their related vesting and exercise timing, as well as stock price.

Capital management

WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity increased $19.6 million, or 3% (not annualized), to $617.2 million at June 30, 2016 from $597.6 million at March 31, 2016, primarily as a result of an increase in quarterly earnings and market improvements related to our available-for-sale securities portfolio. Partially offsetting these increases was the payment of common stock dividends and stock buybacks during the quarter.

Similarly, WSFS’ tangible common equity(3) increased by 4% (not annualized) to $523.1 million at June 30, 2016 from $503.0 million at March 31, 2016. WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio was 10.58% at June 30, 2016, and its tangible common equity to asset ratio(3) increased by 11bps during the quarter to 9.11%. Book value per share was $20.89 at June 30, 2016, and tangible common book value per share(3) was $17.70 at June 30, 2016, a $0.66, or 4% (not annualized), increase from March 31, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, WSFS Bank’s Tier I leverage ratio of 10.48%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.26%, and Total Capital ratio of 13.05%, were all substantially in excess of the “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks.

In the second quarter of 2016, WSFS repurchased 57,500 shares of common stock at an average price of $35.40 as part of our 5% buyback program approved by the Board of Directors during the fourth quarter of 2015. WSFS has 1,041,194 shares, or over 3% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under this current authorization.

Finally, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on September 2, 2016 to shareholders of record as of August 19, 2016.

 

3  Tangible common equity, tangible common equity to asset ratio and tangible common book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of these measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see page 17 and 18 of this press release.

(p) Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

The Company uses a number of non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. The Company’s management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the Company’s financial performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and they are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see pages 17 and 18 of this press release.
