Notable items in the quarter:
•WSFS recorded no unrealized gains on equity investments, including our investment in Visa Class B shares, in 4Q 2019, compared with $2.2 million (pre-tax), or approximately $0.05 per share (after-tax), in unrealized gains related to Visa Class B shares in 4Q 2018. Since our adoption of ASU 2016-01 in 1Q 2018, cumulative realized and unrealized gains on Visa Class B shares total $50.1 million. These gains are excluded from our core results.
•WSFS recorded $6.1 million (pre-tax), or approximately $0.09 per share (after-tax), of net corporate development and restructuring costs related to our acquisition of Beneficial in 4Q 2019, compared with $2.2 million (pre-tax), or approximately $0.06 per share (after-tax), in 4Q 2018. The merger-to-date and 4Q 2019 amounts are favorable compared to our original expectations. These costs are excluded from our core results.
•WSFS recorded a $0.5 million (pre-tax) insurance recovery in 4Q 2019 related to a previously disclosed $2.8 million (pre-tax) fraud loss recognized in 2017. The 4Q 2019 recovery was recorded as a reduction of noninterest expense in the quarter. Cumulative recoveries on this fraud loss, net of our insurance deductible, totaled $2.1 million (pre-tax), reflecting positive closure of this event and our ability to recover against prior period charges. These gains are excluded from our core results.

CEO outlook and commentary
Rodger Levenson, President and CEO, said, “Our strong core fourth quarter 2019 results, including Core EPS of $0.96 and core ROA of 1.63% capped a transformative year for WSFS. Our full-year core ROA of 1.61% and core EPS of $3.74 well exceeded our Strategic Plan goals and original modeling for the Beneficial acquisition. During the year we also completed the systems and brand conversion as a part of a very successful integration of Beneficial's Customers and Associates. These results and positive momentum position us well to execute on our growth and synergy opportunities as the largest, full-service, full-product locally headquartered bank in the greater Delaware Valley.
“Additionally, our fourth quarter net interest margin of 4.35%, full-year net interest margin of 4.44%, and continued strong credit metrics reflect disciplined underwriting and effective balance sheet management in a declining interest rate environment. Significant acquisition and organic revenue growth combined with economies of scale from the acquisition and disciplined cost management resulted in strong core operating leverage in 2019. Further, our strong results and favorable capital position resulted in WSFS returning over 60% of full-year adjusted net income to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.
“We also recently received our 2019 full-year Gallup Survey results which included the first-time participation from legacy Beneficial Associates. We were pleased that both our Customer and Associate Engagement scores continue to place WSFS solidly in the Top Quintile for companies in Gallup’s global database. These results affirm the fundamental strength of our business model and positions us for continued success in our expanded footprint.
“We look forward to the continuing execution of our Strategic Plan in 2020, including realizing the Company’s significant growth opportunity and accelerating our Delivery Transformation efforts.”

Fourth Quarter 2019 Discussion of Financial Results
Net interest margin impacted by purchase accretion and interest rate environment
Net interest income in 4Q 2019 was $117.6 million, an increase of $52.9 million, or 82%, compared to 4Q 2018. Net interest margin for 4Q 2019 was 4.35%, an increase of 19 bps from 4.16% for 4Q 2018. The year-over-year increase included approximately 42 bps of higher purchase accounting accretion partially offset by the lower interest rate environment and expected margin compression due to Beneficial's lower-margin balance sheet. Net interest income for the full-year 2019 was $444.9 million, an 81% increase from 2018. Net interest margin for the full-year 2019 was 4.44%, a 35 bps increase compared to 2018.
Net interest income decreased $3.3 million, or 3% (not annualized), from $120.8 million in 3Q 2019. Net interest margin decreased 3 bps to 4.35% from 4.38% in 3Q 2019. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in net interest margin included approximately 9 bps resulting from the declining rate environment during the quarter, partially offset by 6 bps from the impact of the $2.0 billion short-term trust deposit disclosed in 3Q 2019 results.
Loans reflect acquisition and organic growth, offset by run-off portfolios

At December 31, 2019, WSFS’ net loan portfolio decreased $39.8 million when compared with September 30, 2019. The decrease includes a $60.8 million decline in non-relationship run-off portfolios primarily acquired from Beneficial, which consist of residential mortgages, auto and student loans, CRE participations and C&I leveraged loan participations. Excluding the run-off portfolios, net loans increased $21.0 million during the quarter, with increases across most loan categories. Elevated payoffs and paydowns, resulting from the current interest rate environment and competitive pricing environments, impacted the C&I and CRE portfolios during the quarter.
Compared to December 31, 2018, net loans increased $3.6 billion, which includes $3.7 billion of net loans acquired from Beneficial on March 1, 2019. Excluding the acquired loans from Beneficial and a $267.1 million purposeful decline in the run-off portfolios described above, year-over year growth of $173.8 million resulted from strong consumer loan growth of $113.5 million, or 17%, driven by second-lien home equity installment loans originated through our partnership with Spring EQ and student loans though our partnership with LendKey, an increase of $58.7 million from our residential mortgage business, and an increase of $50.1 million in commercial leases associated with NewLane, our growing small-ticket leasing business.
Credit quality metrics remain strong; non-performing loans declined 40% from prior quarter
Credit quality metrics during 4Q 2019 remain stable in comparison with 3Q 2019, and continue to demonstrate consistent trends in both the originated and acquired loan portfolios.
Total problem assets, which includes all criticized, classified, and nonperforming loans as well as other real estate owned (OREO), were $238.6 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $222.7 million at September 30, 2019. Total problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ALLL was 16.89% at December 31, 2019, compared to 16.29% at September 30, 2019. The Company’s ratio of classified assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ALLL was 13.15% at December 31, 2019, compared to 13.79% at September 30, 2019.
Total delinquencies, which include nonperforming delinquencies, were $61.1 million at December 31, 2019, or 0.72%, of gross loans, compared to $66.6 million, or 0.78% of gross loans at September 30, 2019. Excluding nonperforming delinquencies, performing loan delinquencies were only 0.57% of gross loans at December 31, 2019, compared to 0.62% at September 30, 2019. Included in total delinquencies were $22.3 million of delinquent, but still accruing, U.S. government-guaranteed student loans that carry little risk of credit loss.

Total nonperforming assets were $39.8 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $56.2 million at September 30, 2019 reflecting a 40% decline in nonperforming loans. The decrease during the fourth quarter was primarily due to the positive resolution of one $19.2 million C&I relationship that was placed in nonperforming status in 2Q 2019. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was a low 0.32% at December 31, 2019 compared to 0.46% at September 30, 2019.
Net charge-offs for 4Q 2019 were $1.7 million, or 0.08% (annualized), of average gross loans, a decrease from $1.8 million, or 0.09% (annualized), for 3Q 2019, and $5.6 million, or 0.46% (annualized), for 4Q 2018. Included in net charge-offs was a $1.3 million recovery from a longstanding C&I relationship demonstrating our ability to successfully recover available amounts from prior period charges. For the full-year 2019, the ratio of net charge-offs to total gross loans was 0.22%, compared with 0.29% for the full-year 2018.
Total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan workout expenses, OREO expenses and other credit costs), were $2.7 million in 4Q 2019, $5.0 million in 3Q 2019 and $3.8 million in 4Q 2018. Total credit costs for the full-year 2019 were $29.2 million, as compared with $14.6 million for the full-year 2018. This increase was primarily due to the impact of two legacy WSFS C&I relationships that experienced significant credit events in 2Q 2019, which resulted in higher levels of provision for loan losses and concurrent charge-offs.
The ratio of the ALLL to total gross loans was 0.56% at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019. Excluding the balances for acquired loans (which are marked to market at acquisition), the ALLL to total gross loans ratio would have been 0.97% at December 31, 2019 compared with 1.00% at September 30, 2019. The ALLL was 208% of nonaccruing loans at December 31, 2019 compared to 124% at September 30, 2019 and 132% at December 31, 2018.

Customer funding reflects continued core deposit strength
The following table summarizes customer funding balances and composition at December 31, 2019 compared to September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Total customer funding was $9.3 billion at December 31, 2019, a $48.2 million increase from September 30, 2019. Core deposits were $8.0 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of $21.8 million, or 1.1% (annualized), over the prior quarter, reflecting minimal impact of post-conversion customer attrition. Money markets increased $147.9 million, primarily due to a $77.0 million short-term commercial deposit and seasonal increases in several commercial relationships. No- and low-cost checking deposit accounts decreased $126.5 million, which included $92.9 million from seasonally lower public funding deposits.
Customer funding increased $3.9 billion compared to December 31, 2018. Excluding the $3.7 billion of customer funding acquired from Beneficial, customer funding increased $227.4 million, or 4%. Core deposits increased $248.3 million, or 5%, over the prior year, including a $140.7 million increase in no- and low-cost checking deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $85.2 million in savings deposits. Time deposits decreased $20.9 million, primarily due to CD maturities.
Core deposits were a strong 85% of total customer deposits, and no- and low-cost checking deposit accounts represented a robust 46% of total customer deposits at December 31, 2019. These core deposits predominantly represent longer-term, less price-sensitive customer relationships. The ratio of loans to customer deposits was 91% at December 31, 2019.

Core fee income reflects diversification and growth over the prior year
Core fee income (noninterest income) was $41.5 million, an increase of $5.5 million, or 15%, compared to 4Q 2018, including an increase of $4.4 million from traditional banking-related fee income, primarily related to Beneficial, a $1.7 million increase from our mortgage banking business, and an increase of $1.2 million from our Trust business. Partially offsetting these increases was a $1.7 million decrease in cash logistics services (Cash Connect®), which was primarily due to the lower interest rate environment and offset by lower noninterest expenses. When compared to 3Q 2019, core fee income increased $0.5 million, or 1% (not annualized) as a $1.0 million increase from our Trust business was mostly offset by lower Cash Connect® fees from the lower interest rate environment. Full-year 2019 core fee income increased $23.6 million, or 17%, over full-year 2018, including $14.7 million from traditional banking-related fees, primarily related to our combination with Beneficial, $4.9 million, or 81%, from our mortgage banking business, and $3.5 million, or 9%, from our Trust business.
For 4Q 2019, core fee income was 26.1% of core net revenue, compared to 35.7% for 4Q 2018, and was diversified among various sources, including traditional banking, mortgage banking, trust and wealth management and cash logistics services (Cash Connect®). The year-over-year percentage decline primarily reflects the effect of our combination with Beneficial, which had lower fee income.

Noninterest expenses align with growth in revenue, offset by effective cost management
Our core efficiency ratio was 58.0% in 4Q 2019, compared to 55.9% in 3Q 2019 and 58.5% in 4Q 2018. Our full-year 2019 core efficiency ratio was 56.2%, improved from 59.1% in full-year 2018, reflecting revenue growth, favorable economies of scale from our combination with Beneficial, and integration cost synergies which exceeded originally modeled expectations.
Core noninterest expense for 4Q 2019 was $92.5 million, an increase of $33.3 million, or 56.3%, from $59.1 million in 4Q 2018, primarily due to higher ongoing operating costs from our combination with Beneficial and other franchise growth.
When compared to 3Q 2019, core noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 1.9% (not annualized). The quarter-over-quarter increase is due primarily to two non-recurring items during the quarter, including $1.8 million related to the previously disclosed transition of the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors as part of long-term succession planning and $1.1 million from damage resulting from a fire at a branch location during the quarter, for which we are actively working with insurance carriers to recover the loss. These items were partially offset by cost synergies resulting from our combination with Beneficial.
Income taxes
We recorded a $14.2 million income tax provision in 4Q 2019, compared to provisions of $15.9 million in 3Q 2019 and $8.5 million in 4Q 2018.
The effective tax rate was 23.8% in 4Q 2019, 22.9% in 3Q 2019, and 22.2% in 4Q 2018. The higher tax rate in 4Q 2019 compared to 3Q 2019 and 4Q 2018 primarily reflects lower benefits realized from stock-based compensation activity and higher state income taxes resulting from our combination with Beneficial.

Selected Business Segments (included in previous results):
Wealth Management segment revenue grows 4% over the prior year
The Wealth Management segment provides a broad array of planning and advisory services, investment management, trust services, and credit and deposit products to individual, corporate, and institutional clients through multiple integrated businesses. Combined, these businesses had $20.7 billion in assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) as of December 31, 2019.
Total Wealth Management revenue (net interest income and fee income) was $15.3 million for 4Q 2019, an increase of $0.6 million, or 4%, compared to 4Q 2018. The increase was primarily due to continued strength in our institutional trust services. Our AUM businesses also generated higher year-over-year investment advisory fees, as they benefited from improvements in market valuations and strong net inflows. Compared to 3Q 2019, revenue decreased $1.5 million, or 9% (not annualized), primarily due to the withdrawal of the $2.0 billion short-term trust deposit.
Total noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations and provision for loan losses) was $10.1 million in 4Q 2019, an increase of $1.4 million compared to 4Q 2018 and an increase of $0.8 million compared to 3Q 2019. The increase was primarily driven by higher compensation costs, resulting from the addition of six wealth advisors and three private bankers to support our expansion into the Pennsylvania and New Jersey markets and higher variable incentive compensation costs. Wealth Management reported pre-tax income of $5.2 million in 4Q 2019 compared to $6.1 million in 4Q 2018, and $7.6 million in 3Q 2019, which included the effect of the short-term trust deposit. We continue to invest in talent and technology and have a strong pipeline of new business activity, in both our expanded local footprint and national businesses.

Cash Connect® reports full-year ROA of 1.29%, an increase of over 40 basis points compared to 2018
Cash Connect® is a premier provider of ATM vault cash, smart safe and cash logistics services in the United States. Cash Connect® services approximately 31,100 non-bank ATMs and retail safes nationwide supplying or servicing over $1.4 billion in cash at December 31, 2019 and provides other fee-based services. Cash Connect® also operates 473 ATMs for WSFS Bank, which is one of the largest branded ATM networks in our market.
Our Cash Connect® division recorded $11.3 million of net revenue (fee income less funding costs) in 4Q 2019, essentially flat from 4Q 2018. In early 2019, Cash Connect® transitioned a large, low-margin bailment customer, resulting in a reduction in bailment revenue, while retaining servicing of the portfolio. Cash Connect® has replaced this volume and improved margin by adding new and growing existing relationships. Compared to 3Q 2019, net revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 3% (not annualized), primarily due to lower bailment revenue from the lower interest rate environment, offset by lower third party off balance sheet funding costs included in noninterest expense.
Noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations of expense) was $10.2 million in 4Q 2019, an increase of $0.4 million compared to 4Q 2018 and an increase of $0.3 million compared to 3Q 2019. The increases in expenses were primarily due to $0.2 million of non-recurring items during the quarter, higher compensation costs resulting from the previously announced leadership transition and performance-driven incentive costs. Cash Connect® reported pre-tax income of $1.1 million for 4Q 2019, which was a decrease of $0.3 million, or 22%, compared to 4Q 2018, primarily due to $0.3 million in one-time expenses. Pre-tax income decreased $0.7 million compared to 3Q 2019, due to slightly higher operating costs.
During 2019, Cash Connect®'s focused on improving margin and moving to off balance sheet cash, which resulted in a full-year 2019 ROA of 1.29%, an increase of over 40 bps in comparison with full-year 2018. In 2020, the division intends to continue its focus on expanding smart safe and ATM managed services to increase fee income and margin. Cash Connect® continues to experience strong growth in the strategic Remote Cash Capture (RCC- smart safe, recycler and kiosk) space with approximately 3,200 devices under service. Our RCC pipeline is experiencing robust growth as we continue to add new channel partners, including top financial institutions which have brought us significant national opportunities.

Capital management
WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity decreased $6.7 million, or less than 1% (not annualized) during 4Q 2019, primarily due to market value changes on available-for-sale securities, share buybacks, and the payment of a common stock dividend during the quarter, partially offset by the effect of quarterly earnings.
WSFS’ tangible common equity(4) decreased $3.6 million, or less than 1% (not annualized) compared to September 30, 2019 for the reasons described in the paragraph above. WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio was 15.10% at December 31, 2019, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio(4) decreased by 1 bps during the quarter to 10.97%.
At December 31, 2019, book value per share was $35.88, an increase of $0.47, or 1%, from September 30, 2019, and tangible common book value per share(4) was $24.85, an increase of $0.35, or 1%, from September 30, 2019.
At December 31, 2019, WSFS Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.72%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.52%, and Total Capital ratio of 14.01% were all substantially in excess of the “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on February 21, 2020 to stockholders of record as of February 6, 2020.
WSFS repurchased 901,750 and 2,132,390 shares of common stock at an average price of $43.70 and $42.83 during 4Q 2019 and full-year 2019, respectively, as part of our share buyback program approved by the Board of Directors in 4Q 2018. WSFS has 1,004,588 shares, or approximately 2% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase under this authorization. We continue to execute the Board-approved share buyback plan, including opportunistically repurchasing shares, based on current valuation levels, above our stated practice of returning a minimum of 25% of annual net income to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.
(4) As used in this release, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures exclude goodwill and intangible assets and the related tax-effected amortization. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see pages 21 and 22 of this press release.

(o)The Company uses non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial information 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. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
