CEO outlook and commentary:
Mark A. Turner, President and CEO said, “Initiatives we have implemented to fill the service void given the disruption in the banking industry in Delaware and southeast Pennsylvania continue to bear fruit. While overall economic activity continues to be sluggish, we have had significant success in growing our core customer funding and
commercial loans, particularly C&I lending, as we increase market share. Over the past few years, and especially during the past four quarters, we have invested in this opportunity and plan to continue to do so into the foreseeable future.
“Our market share growth has enabled us to continue to increase revenues significantly. Fee income has increased quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year due to the addition of new customers across the board and growth in our fiduciary businesses. We have enjoyed this growth despite the negative impact of lower mortgage banking activity and regulatory restrictions on deposit fee income. Franchise growth, combined with thoughtful product pricing and balance sheet management also allowed us to improve margin and net interest income. We are pleased with our revenue growth, particularly in a tough economy.
“And while the overall economy remains difficult, most of our key asset quality statistics improved this quarter. This improvement was the result of prudent underwriting combined with significant credit management and asset disposition efforts. However, as we have indicated in the past, continued improvement may be uneven.
“In summary, our second quarter growth reflects the prudent and aggressive investments we have made in our franchise during a window of opportunity. Our Associates continue to provide stellar service to all of our customers and establish WSFS as the premier bank in the communities we serve.”
Second Quarter 2011 Discussion of Financial Results
Net interest margin expanded five basis points
The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 3.61%, a five basis point increase from 3.56% reported for the first quarter of 2011. Net interest income for the second quarter was $31.2 million, an increase of $933,000, or 3%, from the $30.3 million reported during the first quarter of 2011. Compared to the second quarter of 2010, net interest income increased $489,000, or 2%, and the net interest margin decreased five basis points.
The linked-quarter increase in net interest margin and net interest income is the result of the Company’s ability to hold interest earning asset yields steady while lowering funding costs. Increases in loan yields and ongoing funding rate management were able to mitigate lower yields stemming from continued repricing in our mortgage-backed securities (MBS) portfolio in this low rate environment.
Customer funding increased $54.1 million from March 31, 2011
The Company’s customer funding continued strong growth during the second quarter of 2011 due to significant growth in savings and demand deposits.
Total customer funding was $2.7 billion at June 30, 2011, an increase of $54.1 million, or 2% (8% annualized), over levels reported at March 31, 2011. Core deposit accounts grew $78.9 million, with $64.8 million of this increase in demand accounts. Higher-cost customer time deposits decreased $24.3 million during the quarter. As the Company has continued to establish itself as a full service bank, and a premier bank in its markets, the level of public funding, trust and large commercial accounts has increased significantly. These account balances may add more seasonality and uneven trends to our deposit flows.
Customer funding increased $370.0 million, or 16%, over balances at June 30, 2010. Similar to the linked-quarter comparison, this growth was in core deposit accounts. Year-over-year growth included a $175.2 million increase from the successful CB&T acquisition in December, 2010.
The following table summarizes current customer funding balances and composition compared to prior periods.

14% annualized C&I loan growth helped propel $32.2 million increase in net loans from March 31, 2011
The Company continued its strong growth of C&I loans. This growth was partially mitigated by continued declines in residential mortgage balances due to the Company’s strategy to originate and sell these loans, and intentional reductions in construction loans.
Total net loans were $2.6 billion at June 30, 2011, an increase of $32.2 million compared to the prior quarter-end, mainly due to an increase in C&I loans which grew $44.1 million, or 14% annualized, from March 31, 2011. This growth was partially offset by a decrease of $9.0 million in residential mortgage and construction loans.
Net loans increased $164.3 million compared to June 30, 2010, including an increase of $106.2 million related to the CB&T acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding acquired balances, loans grew $58.1 million, or 2%. C&I loans, a subset of total commercial loans and the focus of franchise growth efforts, grew $160.2 million, or 14%. Loan growth was negatively impacted by the purposeful reduction of $63.8 million in construction loans (a 33% decrease) and $48.6 million in residential mortgage loans. Construction loans now total only $128.5 million, or less than 5% of gross loans, with residential construction loans (a subset of that total) only 2% of gross loans.

Asset quality statistics improve
Most asset quality indicators have shown stable to improved trends. While the current credit environment remains volatile, Problem Loans (all criticized, classified and nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (OREO)), delinquent loans, nonperforming assets and net charge-offs showed improvement over first quarter levels.
Problem Loans decreased by 2% in the current quarter and continued to represent less than 10% of total loans. This is a 26% decrease from their recent high in the first quarter of 2010.
Total loan portfolio delinquency (loans contractually past due 30 days or greater, including delinquent nonperforming loans) decreased to 2.55% of total loans, or $68.2 million, as of June 30, 2011, from 2.83%, or $75.0 million, as of March 31, 2011. Early stage delinquency (loans contractually past due 30-89 days) decreased from $40.8 million, or 1.54%, to $24.7 million, or 0.92%, during the quarter. Late-stage delinquency (loans contractually past due 90 days or greater) increased from 1.29% to 1.63% of total loans during the same period, largely due to one nonaccruing loan.
The following table summarizes current loan portfolio delinquency compared to prior periods.
| | | At | | | At | | | At | |
| (Dollars in thousands) | | June 30, 2011 | | | March 31, 2011 | | | June 30, 2010 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Total commercial loans | | $ | 48,320 | | | | 2.32 | % | | $ | 54,007 | | | | 2.65 | % | | $ | 45,152 | | | | 2.37 | % |
| Residential mortgage | | | 17,565 | | | | 6.00 | | | | 17,887 | | | | 5.89 | | | | 21,197 | | | | 6.37 | |
| Consumer | | | 2,311 | | | | 0.77 | | | | 3,062 | | | | 1.01 | | | | 4,834 | | | | 1.67 | |
| Total Delinquency | | $ | 68,196 | | | | 2.55 | % | | $ | 74,956 | | | | 2.83 | % | | $ | 71,183 | | | | 2.82 | % |
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets improved to 2.42% in the second quarter of 2011 from 2.58% in the first quarter of 2011. Nonperforming assets decreased to $100.6 million as of June 30, 2011 from $101.8 million as of March 31, 2011. The linked-quarter decrease was a result of ongoing disposition efforts including the auction of a significant portion of the Company’s OREO.
During the second quarter of 2011, net charge-offs were $8.3 million, or 1.25% (annualized), a decrease from $10.2 million, or 1.56% (annualized), reported in the first quarter of 2011.
The provision for loan losses of $8.6 million increased $2.7 million from $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 and decreased $2.0 million from $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. Similarly, total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan workout and OREO expenses and letter of credit reserves) increased $1.9 million from the first quarter of 2011 to $10.2 million, and decreased $2.9 million from $13.2 million in the second quarter of last year. The increase in credit costs during the second quarter of 2011 was primarily due to continued pressure on collateral values and a higher level of retail loan charge-offs related to the ongoing sluggish economy. The provision for loan losses for the quarter exceeded net charge-offs. As a result, the allowance for loan losses increased slightly and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total gross loans remained nearly flat at 2.10%.
Investments
As of June 30, 2011, the Company held a high-quality securities portfolio with a carrying value of $808.1 million. Substantially all investments held are AAA-rated. The duration of the portfolio increased to 3.3 years due to continued portfolio management aimed at interest-rate risk management and yield improvement. Portfolio management included the purchase of some longer-duration MBS and the sale and reinvestment of shorter-duration securities into higher yield, longer duration securities during the middle-to-end of the second quarter. These securities sales also resulted in $603,000 in net securities gains during the quarter.
Noninterest income increases reflect franchise growth
The Company grew noninterest income in the second quarter as a result of franchise growth, and to a lesser extent, seasonality. During the quarter, the Company also recorded $1.2 million in unanticipated (non-taxable) income related to its investment in bank-owned life insurance (BOLI).
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company earned noninterest income of $16.0 million compared to $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2011. Excluding the impact of the unexpected BOLI income and securities gains and losses, noninterest income increased by $1.0 million, or 8%, over the previous period. The linked-quarter comparison was driven by increases in debit/credit card and ATM income, deposit service charges and fiduciary and investment management income. This increase occurred despite decreases in mortgage banking activities and loan fees as market mortgage refinancing activity continued to decline in the second quarter of 2011.
Noninterest income increased $3.6 million during the second quarter of 2011 from the $12.4 million reported during the same period a year ago. Excluding the impact of the BOLI income and securities gains, noninterest income increased by $2.1 million, or 17%. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011 increased $2.0 million in fiduciary and investment management income resulting primarily from the December 2010 acquisition of CB&T. In addition, increases in credit/debit card and ATM fees due to franchise growth more than offset the decrease in deposit service charges related to changes in banking regulations (Reg E) implemented in the third quarter of 2010, and decreases in mortgage banking activities.
Noninterest expense reflects investment for future growth
During the quarter, the Company opened four new branches and relocated one branch and its Cash Connect® division’s operations, accelerating certain investments planned for future years to take advantage of current market disruption. The Company continues to execute on its growth strategies and increased expenses are expected through the remainder of the year.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2011 totaled $30.7 million compared to $31.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. Included in these totals was $446,000 of acquisition integration costs during the second quarter and $334,000 in the first quarter. These costs represent all expected remaining integration costs associated with the December 2010 acquisition of CB&T. Excluding these non-routine items, noninterest expenses decreased by $847,000, or 3%, compared to the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to an $841,000 decrease in loan workout and OREO expenses and
decreased FDIC expenses. These decreases were partially mitigated by increases in equipment and occupancy expenses from the Company’s accelerated growth.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2011 increased from $27.7 million in the same period of 2010. Excluding the non-routine CB&T integration costs, noninterest expenses increased by $2.5 million, or 9%, over the second quarter of 2010. Over the course of the past year, the Company opened five new branches, relocated four additional branches and hired 11 new commercial relationship managers and related support staff, resulting in increased compensation, occupancy, equipment and data processing and operations expenses. In addition, results from the second quarter of 2011 include ongoing operating expenses from the Christiana Trust division acquired in December, 2010. Partially offsetting these increases were a decrease in loan workout and OREO expenses and a decrease in FDIC expenses due to the newly implemented rate and calculation basis for deposit insurance.
Niche businesses (included in above results)
The Cash Connect® division is a premier provider of ATM vault cash and related services in the United States. It services more than $406 million in vault cash in more than 11,000 non-bank ATMs nationwide together with operating 401 ATMs for WSFS Bank, which includes the largest branded ATM network in Delaware. Cash Connect® recorded $3.7 million in net revenue (fee income less funding costs) during the second quarter of 2011. This represented an increase of $395,000 compared to the first quarter of 2011 and an increase of $403,000 compared to the second quarter of 2010 as a result of growth in the division. Noninterest expense was $2.2 million during the second quarter of 2011, which was flat compared to the first quarter of 2011 and an increase of $452,000 from the second quarter of 2010. As a result, Cash Connect® reported pre-tax income of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2011. This compares to $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2011 and $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2010.
Income taxes
The Company recorded a $2.5 million income tax provision in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.8% for the second quarter and 36.2% during the first quarter. The decreased effective tax rate was primarily due to the receipt of the $1.2 million in tax-free income related to the BOLI investment.
The income tax provision in the second quarter of 2010 was $1.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 31.2%.
Capital management
The Company’s capital increased by $5.0 million to $375.9 million at June 30, 2011, mainly the result of earnings from the second quarter of 2011.
Tangible common book value per share was $33.60 at June 30, 2011, a $0.45 increase from $33.15 reported at March 31, 2011. The Company’s tangible common equity ratio decreased 25 basis points to 7.02% at the end of the second quarter.
At June 30, 2011, the Bank’s core capital ratio of 9.26%, Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.34% and total risk-based capital ratio of 13.59%, all maintained a substantial cushion in excess of “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks, the highest regulatory capital level. An additional $17.5 million in cash remains at the holding company as of June 30, 2011 to support the parent company’s cash needs.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per common share. This dividend will be paid on August 26, 2011, to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2011.
