WSFS REPORTS 2^nd QUARTER 2013 RESULTS OF $1.16 PER SHARE,

A 53% INCREASE; ROA REACHES 1.0%;

RESULTS DRIVEN BY STRONG REVENUE GROWTH, EXPENSE CONTROL, OPERATING LEVERAGE AND CONTINUED CREDIT QUALITY IMPROVEMENT;

WSFS ANNOUNCES REDEMPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

WILMINGTON, Del., — WSFS Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: WSFS), the parent company of WSFS Bank, reported net income of $10.9 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2013 compared to net income of $9.7 million, or $1.02 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2013, and net income of $7.3 million, or $0.76 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2012.

Net income for the first six months of 2013 was $20.6 million up from $13.8 million for the same period in 2012. Earnings per share were $2.18 per diluted common share in the first six months of 2013, a 55% increase over the $1.41 per diluted common share reported for the first half of 2012.

Highlights for the second quarter of 2013:

•

Return on assets (ROA) reached 1.0% and return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) grew to 12.2%, each improving more than 40% from prior year levels.

•

Total revenue, excluding securities gains, increased 22% annualized over the first quarter of 2013 on both higher net interest income and stronger fee income growth across all business lines. Fee income, excluding securities gains, was a robust 37% of total revenue.

•

Prudent expense management led noninterest expense growth of less than 1% over the second quarter of 2012. Combined with strong revenue growth, operating leverage increased significantly.

•

Net loans grew at an 8% annualized rate, with 10% annualized growth in commercial lending.

•

Asset quality metrics showed across-the-board improvement, and remain at overall favorable levels. Net charge-offs, delinquencies, nonperforming assets, nonperforming loans and other problem loans (both criticized and classified loans) all improved.

Notable items:

•

WSFS received regulatory non-objection to repurchase / redeem its cumulative perpetual preferred stock (formerly TARP Preferred Stock) using its available cash on hand and, late in the second quarter of 2013, repurchased $20 million of the $52.6 million outstanding in open market transactions (at or very near par value). WSFS intends to redeem the remaining preferred stock at the stated liquidation (par) value of $1,000 per share by the end of August 2013.

•

WSFS realized $906,000, or $0.07 per diluted common share (after tax), in net gains on securities sales, down from $1.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2013 and $13.3 million, or $0.99 per diluted common share, in the second quarter 2012.

CEO outlook and commentary:

Mark A. Turner, President and CEO, said, “Our second quarter results reflect the acceleration of positive trends over the last year. We continue to achieve revenue growth in both net interest income and noninterest income as we build our banking, wealth and ATM businesses, by optimizing our strategic investments made in the recent past. Similarly, we were able to successfully manage expenses at a low growth rate. The resulting operating leverage increased our ROA to 1% and produced an ROTCE of greater than 12% for the quarter.

“This quarter, we also enjoyed strong lending growth, particularly in our commercial portfolio, reflecting steady momentum in growing market share. This growth and improved balance sheet mix, combined with other initiatives, further improved our net interest margin in a tough environment, and bolstered net interest income from prior quarter levels.

“Our wealth businesses continued to add customers, benefiting current revenues and building an annuity stream for the future. Cash Connect, our ATM business, also grew, reflecting seasonal growth and success in introducing new services to current customers and growth in vault cash outstanding.

“Credit quality continued to show improvement from already good levels. As a result, total credit costs remained low and flat with the levels we reported in the first quarter. While we always anticipate unevenness in credit costs, we expect to continue to enjoy the financial benefits of improved credit quality into the future.

“In June, we were proud to have been presented the Gallup Great Workplace Excellence in Leadership Award for the second year in a row. This award is further evidence of our success in developing our business model of ‘Engaged Associates delivering Stellar Service growing Customer Advocates and value for our Owners’. This business model is at the core of the success we have had in growing our business and profitability at the same time.

“As a result of the initiatives taken in the current and prior periods, and the success of our business model, as we start the second half of the year, we stand well poised for continued growth.”

Second Quarter 2013 Discussion of Financial Results

Net interest margin increase reflects margin improvement initiatives

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2013 was 3.50%, a four basis point increase from 3.46% reported for the first quarter of 2013. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2013 was $32.1 million, a $476,000, or 6% annualized, improvement from the first quarter of 2013. Compared to the second quarter of 2012, the net interest margin decreased 3 basis points and net interest income was essentially flat.

500 Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware 19801

The second quarter of 2013 benefited from an improved balance sheet mix, an increase in loan yields and the intentional reduction in higher-cost CDs compared to the first quarter of 2013. This linked quarter increase also reflects the first full-quarter impact of the balance sheet repositioning undertaken during the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, resulting in the relative stabilization of investment yields and reduced funding costs. The slight decrease in margin from the second quarter of 2012 was largely due to the combined impact of $55.0 million of Senior Notes issued in August 2012 to provide for liquidity and capital options at the holding company, and year-over-year reduced yields on the mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) portfolio.

Loan portfolio growth includes a 10% annualized increase in commercial loans

Total net loans were $2.8 billion at June 30, 2013, an increase of $52.0 million, or 8% annualized, compared to the prior quarter-end, mainly due to a $55 million, or 10% annualized, increase in total commercial loans. Partially offsetting the increase in commercial loans was a continued decrease of $6.3 million in residential mortgage loans reflecting the Company’s ongoing strategy of selling these loans in the secondary market.

Total net loans at June 30, 2013 increased $131.7 million, compared to June 30, 2012. The year-over-year improvement was mainly due to a $145.8 million increase in total commercial loans. This growth was offset by the Company’s successful dispositions of a significant amount of problem loans in 2012, and an 8% decrease in residential mortgage loans.

The following table summarizes current loan balances and composition compared to prior periods.

Continued improvement in credit quality and total credit costs

Credit quality improved across the board from the prior quarter and the same period a year ago as charge-offs, nonperforming assets, nonperforming loans, other problem loans and delinquencies all decreased.

During the second quarter of 2013, net charge-offs improved to $3.1 million, or 0.45% (annualized) of average gross loans, a slight decrease from $3.2 million, or 0.46% (annualized), reported in the first quarter of 2013 and a significant decrease from $25.8 million, or 3.70% (annualized) in the same quarter of 2012 (All second quarter 2012 asset quality statistics and credit costs were impacted by the 2012 Asset Strategies initiatives).

Nonperforming assets decreased to $59.2 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $63.0 million at March 31, 2013 and $62.3 million at June 30, 2012. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 1.34% at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.45% at March 31, 2013 and 1.49% at June 30, 2012.

Total problem loans (all criticized, classified and nonperforming loans) improved during the quarter to 41.5% of Tier 1 capital plus allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) compared to 47.9% at March 31, 2013 and 64.8% at June 30, 2012. The Bank’s ratio of classified assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ALLL was 34.2%, compared to 36.8% at March 31, 2013 and 48.7% at June 30, 2012.

Total loan delinquency also improved $4.1 million to 1.23% as of June 30, 2013 compared to 1.40% as of March 31, 2013. Performing loan delinquencies remained at only 22 basis points at June 30, 2013 reflecting a continuing decline in the early stage (30-89 days past due) delinquency category.

The following table summarizes current loan portfolio delinquency as a percentage of total loans compared to prior periods.


(Dollars in thousands)	At June 30, 2013				At March 31, 2013				At June 30, 2012

Total commercial loans	$	451	0.02	%	$	1,736	0.08	%	$	552	0.03	%
Residential mortgage		5,078	2.17			3,532	1.48			6,201	2.43
Consumer		700	0.25			795	0.28			1,483	0.52

Performing loan delinquency		6,229	0.22			6,063	0.22			8,236	0.30
Nonperforming loan delinquency		28,967	1.01			33,243	1.18			27,903	1.02

Total loan delinquency	$	35,196	1.23	%	$	39,306	1.40	%	$	36,139	1.32	%

As a result of continued broad improvement in credit quality, the total provision for loan losses decreased to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2013, from $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, and $16.4 million in the second quarter of 2012. Furthermore, total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan workout expenses, OREO expenses and other credit reserves) of $2.4 million remained essentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2013 and decreased from $18.3 million in the second quarter of last year.

Also as a result of the broad credit quality improvement, ALLL decreased during the second quarter of 2013 to $41.5 million, as net charge-offs modestly exceeded the provision. The ratio of the ALLL to total gross loans decreased to 1.46% at June 30, 2013 from 1.54% at March 31, 2013 and was 101% of nonaccruing loans.

Customer funding changes reflect temporary trust accounts and margin management

Customer funding decreased to $2.9 billion at June 30, 2013 from $3.0 billion at March 31, 2013, and, as expected, included a decrease in temporary trust-related money market deposits (net, $79.4 million). Excluding this item, customer funding decreased $36.6 million, mainly due to the continued purposeful decrease in higher-cost time deposits ($43.3 million).

Customer funding increased $9.5 million over balances at June 30, 2012. This increase was driven by core deposit account balances, which increased $206.3 million, or 10%, partially offset by the intentional run-off in higher-cost time deposits ($202.7 million). Core deposits now represent 81% of total customer funding, and more than 50% of core deposits are in no-cost and low-cost demand accounts.

Noninterest income growth reflects sizable gains in all business lines

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company earned noninterest income of $19.5 million, compared to $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. Excluding net securities gains in both periods, noninterest income increased $2.2 million. This improvement reflected seasonal gains from the first quarter and fundamental improvement in all major lines of business as a result of continued growth.

Noninterest income decreased $9.5 million during the second quarter of 2013 from the same period a year ago. Excluding the impact of net securities gains in both periods and a change in the method of billing by Cash Connect^(p), noninterest income increased by $2.0 million, or 12%. Similar to the linked quarter, this increase was the result of growth in all major business lines as: mortgage banking activities increased $741,000, or 164%, investment management and fiduciary revenue increased $632,000, or 18%, and credit/debit card and ATM fees (largely related to our ATM division) increased by $318,000, or 5%, over the prior year, reflecting continued momentum in these areas.

Noninterest expense growth reflects prudent expense management

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $33.2 million compared to $32.4 million for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $782,000, or 2%. This increase was mainly due to higher loan workout and OREO expenses, which increased by $600,000, reflecting the expected uneven nature of these expenses. Salaries, benefits and other compensation costs decreased $528,000 from the first quarter of 2013, primarily reflecting seasonal increases in taxes and other payroll-related costs associated with first quarter incentive payments, as well as higher compensation costs related to stock-based incentives awarded during the first quarter.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2013 increased only $135,000, or less than 1% from the same period of 2012. A change in the method of billing^(p) by Cash Connect resulted in an increase of $1.0 million from the prior year. In addition, salaries, benefits and other compensation increased $792,000 over the second quarter of 2012. This increase resulted from the growth and improved performance of the Company. Offsetting these increases was an improvement of $1.2 million in loan workout and OREO costs and lower regulatory costs in the second quarter of 2013.

Selected Business Segments (included in previous results):

Wealth Management division revenue grew by 18% over the prior year

The Wealth Management division provides a broad array of fiduciary, investment management, credit and deposit products to clients through four businesses. WSFS Investment Group, Inc. provides insurance and brokerage products primarily to our retail banking clients. Cypress Capital Management, LLC is a registered investment advisor with over $600 million in assets under management. Cypress’ primary market segment is high net worth individuals, offering a ‘balanced’ investment style focused on preservation of capital and current income.Christiana Trust, with $16.5 billion in assets under administration, provides fiduciary and investment services to personal trust clients, and trustee, agency, custodial and commercial domicile services to corporate and institutional clients.

Total wealth management fee revenue (investment management and fiduciary revenue plus other noninterest income generated by the segment) was $4.2 million during the second quarter of 2013. This represented an increase of $363,000, or 9%, compared to the first quarter of 2013 and an increase of $659,000, or 19%, compared to the second quarter of 2012. Fee income increases reflect seasonal factors, the continued benefit from growth in late 2012 in the Personal Trust business and recent increased activity in capital market transactions. The July 2013 issue ofAsset-Backed Alert, ranked Christiana Trust sixth among all U.S. corporate trustees for Asset-backed and Mortgage-backed Securities transactions conducted during the first half of 2013. Net interest income (mainly from Private Banking) was relatively flat at $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2012. Total segment noninterest expense (including intercompany allocations of expense and provision for loan losses) was $4.6 million during the quarter compared to $4.1 million during the first quarter of 2013, mainly from the addition of sales and support infrastructure during the second quarter of 2013 to support future growth, yet was lower than the $5.4 million during the second quarter of 2012. Adding to the volatility in expenses was the provision for loan losses allocated to the division. Similar to the overall provision for loan loss of the Company, these costs can be uneven from quarter-to-quarter. As a result, pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2013 was $2.3 million compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter 2013 and $828,000 in the second quarter 2012.

Cash Connect^® growth reflects seasonal growth and new customers and product offerings

TheCash Connect^® division is a premier provider of ATM vault cash and related services in the United States. It services over $525 million in vault cash in more than 14,500 non-bank ATMs nationwide and operates more than 450 ATMs for WSFS Bank, which has the largest branded ATM network in Delaware.

WSFS Bank Center

500 Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware 19801

Cash Connect^® recorded $5.8 million in net revenue (fee income less funding costs) during the second quarter of 2013. This represented an increase of $987,000 compared to the first quarter of 2013 and an increase of $1.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. Noninterest expenses (including intercompany allocations of expense) were $3.7 million during the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $163,000 compared to the first quarter of 2013, and an increase of $562,000 from the second quarter of 2012. (A large portion of the year-over-year increase in both noninterest income and expenses was due to the Cash Connect^® billing change in the first quarter of 2013^(p) affecting classifications but not affecting the bottom-line.) Cash Connect^® reported pre-tax income of $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2013, and $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in bottom-line results was due to both typical seasonality and growth.

Income taxes

The Company recorded a $5.9 million income tax provision in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2012. The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 and first quarter of 2013 was 35%; and the effective tax rate during the second quarter of 2012 was 37%.

Capital management

The Company’s tangible common equity decreased to $329.3 million at June 30, 2013 from $338.6 million at March 31, 2013. Tangible common book value per share was $37.35 at June 30, 2013, a $1.16 decrease from $38.51 reported at March 31, 2013. The Company’s tangible common equity to asset ratio decreased 31 basis points to 7.53%.

The Company’s total stockholders’ equity decreased to $394.9 million at June 30, 2013 from $424.3 million at March 31, 2013. These equity levels were impacted by the earnings of the Company, reduced primarily by the $20.0 million redemption of preferred stock, a decrease in the value of the AFS securities portfolio and the payment of dividends.

WSFS Bank Center

500 Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware 19801

At June 30, 2013, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.01%, Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 13.04% and total risk-based capital ratio of 14.29%, all maintained a substantial cushion in excess of “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks, and will continue to do so on a proforma basis after the planned preferred share redemption. Over $50.4 million in cash remains at the holding company as of June 30, 2013, to support redemption of the remaining $32.6 million of preferred stock and other holding company cash needs.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per common share. This dividend will be paid on August 23, 2013, to shareholders of record as of August 9, 2013.

A change in the method of billing for armored car services by the Company’s Cash Connect division caused revenues and expenses for these services to be reported separately rather than netted together in the Company’s Statement of operations, beginning in the fourth quarter 2012. The impact will be ongoing and resulted in an increase of $1.0 million in both noninterest income (other income) and noninterest expenses (other operating expenses) during the second quarter of 2013 and $649,000 for the first quarter of 2013.

(q)	The Company uses non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial information in its analysis of the Company’s 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.
