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, interest rates, supply chain issues and inflation, and slowdowns in economic growth, including as a result of the novel coronavirus and its variants (COVID-19) pandemic;
possible additional loan losses and impairment of the collectability of loans;
the economic and financial impact of federal, state and local emergency orders, vaccine mandates and other actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;
the continuation of these conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including whether due to a resurgence or additional waves of COVID-19 infections or variants thereof, particularly as the geographic areas in which we operate continue to re-open, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume, and the potential waning of vaccine effectiveness or effects of low vaccination rates;
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 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, the changing interest rate environment and inflation, that may limit the Company’s access to additional funding to meet its liquidity needs;
the discontinued publication of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the transition to an alternative reference interest rate, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), including methodologies for calculating the rate that are different from the LIBOR methodology and changed language for existing and new floating or adjustable rate contracts;
the success of the Company's growth plans, including its plans to grow the commercial small business leasing, residential, small business and Small Business Administration (SBA) portfolios and wealth management business following its recent acquisition of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (BMBC or Bryn Mawr Trust);
the Company’s ability to successfully integrate and 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, including its recent acquisition of BMBC (the BMBC Merger);
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;
3

Table of Contents
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 Associates;
the effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions that adversely affect the Company or the banking industry generally;
the effects of weather, including climate change, and natural disasters such as floods, droughts, wind, tornadoes and hurricanes as well as effects from geopolitical instability, armed conflicts, public health crises and man-made disasters including terrorist attacks;
the effects of regional or national civil unrest (including any resulting branch or ATM closures or damage);
additional credit, fraud and litigation risks associated with our PPP lending activities;
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 (MBS) due to changes in the interest rate environment 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 herein under the heading “Risk Factors” and 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.

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), fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, 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, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, as well as increased post-retirement benefits and income tax expense.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation.
On January 1, 2022, WSFS closed its acquisition of BMBC and acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of BMBC. In accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, dated March 9, 2021, by and between WSFS and BMBC, each share of BMBC common stock was exchanged for 0.90 shares of WSFS common stock (with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares). The total value of consideration paid was $908.0 million based on 19,903,230 shares of BMBC common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021, the vesting of 226,643 BMBC restricted stock awards, and the closing price per share of WSFS common stock of $50.12 on December 31, 2021. Results of the combined Company’s operations are included in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition.
BMBC was the holding company for The Bryn Mawr Trust Company (Bryn Mawr Bank), a Pennsylvania chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary. BMBC and Bryn Mawr Bank were headquartered in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, a western suburb of Philadelphia, and served primarily the Greater Philadelphia region. BMBC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries was a locally managed, premier financial services company providing retail and commercial banking; trust administration and wealth management; and insurance and risk management solutions. WSFS believes that following the BMBC Merger it will be the only bank in the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware region with distinct market-share advantages, including market knowledge, local decision-making, a full-service product suite and a balance sheet to compete with larger regional and national banks. The BMBC Merger also allows WSFS to accelerate our long-term strategic objectives, including scale to continue to invest in our delivery and talent transformations.
The acquisition of BMBC was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is not amortizable nor deductible for tax purposes. The Company allocated goodwill to its WSFS Bank segment and Wealth Management segment. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no remeasurement period adjustments made to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Table of Contents
While the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities is substantially completed, fair value estimates related to the assets and liabilities from BMBC are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information becomes available. Valuations subject to adjustment include, but are not limited to, Wealth Management intangibles, loans, and deferred income taxes as management continues to review the estimated fair values and evaluate the assumed tax position. When the valuation is final, any changes to the preliminary valuation of acquired assets and liabilities could result in adjustments to identified intangibles and goodwill. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is expected to be finalized during the remeasurement period, which ends one year from the closing date, or January 1, 2023.
The amount of goodwill recorded reflects the increased market share and related synergies that are expected to result from the acquisition, and represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired from BMBC.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In many cases, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined by estimating the cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and applying the appropriate market discount rates.
Cash and due from banks: The estimated fair values of cash and due from banks approximate their stated value.
Investment Securities: The acquired investment portfolio had a fair value of $500.4 million, primarily consisting of short-term U.S. Treasury bills that matured subsequent to closing on January 6, 2022. The estimated fair value approximated the stated value at maturity.
Loans and Leases: The Company recorded $3.5 billion of acquired loans, which were initially recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair value for loans was based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered credit loss and prepayment expectations, market interest rates and other market factors, such as liquidity, from the perspective of a market participant. Loan cash flows were generated on an individual loan basis. The PD, LGD, exposure at default and prepayment assumptions are the key factors driving credit losses which are embedded into the estimated cash flows.
The table below presents information with respect to the fair value and unpaid principal balance of acquired loans and leases at the acquisition date.

Table of Contents
Deferred Income Taxes: The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset (DTA) of $8.4 million related to tax attributes of BMBC along with the effects of fair value adjustments resulting from acquisition accounting for the combination. The DTA’s recorded were based on the expected federal and state tax benefits of when the acquired tax attributes and purchase accounting adjustments will reverse. In recording the DTA, consideration was given to potential limitations on the realizability of such acquired tax attributes. There was no material change to the valuation allowance as a result of the BMBC Merger.
Trust preferred borrowings and subordinated debt: The fair value of trust preferred borrowings and subordinated debt were determined by present valuing the expected cash flows using current market rates for similar instruments. A fair value discount of $2.5 million was recognized for the trust preferred borrowings and will be recognized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining life of the borrowings. A fair value premium of $0.7 million was recognized for the subordinated debt and will be recognized as a decrease to interest expense over the remaining life of the debt.
Intangible Assets: The Company recorded $10.9 million of core deposit intangible (CDI) which is being amortized over ten years using a straight-line amortization methodology. The fair value of the core deposit intangible was determined using the cost savings approach. The cost savings approach is defined as the difference between cost of funds on deposits and the cost of an equal amount of funds from an alternative source. The CDI fair value was determined by projecting net cash flow benefits, including assumptions related to customer attrition, discount rates, deposit interest rates, and alternative costs of funds.
Certificates of deposit accounts were valued by segregating the portfolio into pools based on remaining maturity and comparing the contractual cost of the portfolio to an identical portfolio bearing current market rates. The valuation adjustment will be accreted or amortized to interest expense over the remaining maturities of the respective pools.
WSFS recorded $60.4 million of Wealth Management intangible assets that consisted of $57.1 million for customer relationships in our wealth management, trust and insurances lines of business, $2.8 million for the Bryn Mawr Trust tradename, and $0.5 million in non-compete agreements. Fair value for these Wealth Management intangible assets was based on a discounted cash flow methodology projecting net cash flow benefits, including assumptions related to customer attrition, discount rates, income projections and applicable growth rate assumptions.
Corporate development expenses and Restructuring expenses
For acquisitions, the Company develops comprehensive integration plans under which it has incurred direct costs, which are expensed as incurred. These direct costs include costs are primarily related to: (i) terminated contracts, (ii) consolidated facilities (including lease termination expenses), (iii) severance, (iv) marketing, and (v) professional and legal fees. Costs related to the acquisition and restructuring are included in the Corporate development expense and Restructuring expense line items, respectively, on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

4. NONINTEREST INCOME
Credit/debit card and ATM income
The following table presents the components of credit/debit card and ATM income:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)20222021
Bailment fees$2,785 $3,059 
Interchange fees4,099 3,055 
Other card and ATM fees797 691 
Total credit/debit card and ATM income$7,681 $6,805 
Credit/debit card and ATM income is composed of bailment fees, interchange fees, and other card and ATM fees. Bailment 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

Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)20222021
Trust fees$19,090 $9,764 
Wealth management and advisory fees11,091 4,489 
Total investment management and fiduciary income$30,181 $14,253 
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, trustee and trustee related services on structured finance transactions; indenture trustee, administrative agent and collateral agent services to individuals, institutions and corporations; commercial domicile and independent director services; and investment and trustee services to families and individuals. 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 or assets held within a trust. 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 Cypress, West Capital, Powdermill®, WSFS Wealth® Investments and legacy Bryn Mawr Trust Wealth Management (excluding The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware). 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.

(1)Actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities.
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 5.5 years at March 31, 2022.
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 $2.7 billion and $2.2 billion were pledged as collateral for retail customer repurchase agreements, municipal deposits, and other obligations as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had no sales of debt securities categorized as available-for-sale, resulting in no realized gains and no realized losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold $9.3 million of debt securities categorized as available-for-sale resulting in $0.3 million of realized gains and no realized losses.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's debt securities portfolio had remaining unamortized premiums of $66.9 million and $69.4 million, respectively, and unaccreted discounts of $18.0 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2022, available-for-sale debt securities for which the amortized cost basis exceeded fair value totaled $5.2 billion. Total unrealized losses on these securities were $411.3 million at March 31, 2022. 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 March 31, 2022.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, held-to-maturity debt securities had an amortized cost basis of $84.9 million and $90.6 million, respectively. The held-to-maturity debt security portfolio primarily consists of highly rated municipal bonds. The Company monitors credit quality of its debt securities through credit ratings.

8. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY INFORMATION
The following tables provide the activity of allowance for credit losses and loan balances for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The increase was primarily due to an initial ACL of $49.6 million recorded in connection with the BMBC Merger. The initial $49.6 million ACL recorded includes $23.5 million related to non-PCD loans, or the initial provision for credit loss recorded, and $26.1 million related to PCD loans, which does not have an initial income statement impact, but adjusts the amortized cost basis of the loans at acquisition (i.e., a balance sheet gross-up).

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. These 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. These 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.

10. 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 goodwill 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 three months ended March 31, 2022, management determined based on its qualitative assessment that it is not more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units are less than their carrying values. No goodwill impairment exists during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

14. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement (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
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 GSEs and GNMA securities 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 with and without readily determinable fair values and equity method investments, which are categorized as Level 3. The Company's equity investments with a readily determinable fair value are held at fair value. 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 and its equity method investments are initially recorded at cost based on the Company’s percentage ownership in the investee, and are adjusted to reflect the recognition of the Company’s proportionate share of income or loss of the investee based on the investee’s earnings.
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.
Other assets
Other assets include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, and risk participation agreements. Valuation of interest rate products 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. Valuation of risk participation agreements are obtained from an independent pricing service.
Other liabilities
Other liabilities include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, risk participation agreements, and derivative related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares. Valuation of interest rate products 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. Valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts and risk participation agreements are obtained from an independent pricing service. Valuation of the derivative related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares is based on: (i) the agreed upon graduated fee structure; (ii) the length of time until the resolution of the Visa covered litigation; and (iii) the estimated impact of dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B shares resulting from changes in the Visa covered litigation.

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, cash equivalents, and restricted cash
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
Investment securities include debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. 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 with and 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 and leases
Loans and leases are segregated by portfolio segments with similar financial characteristics. The fair values of loans and leases, 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.
Accrued interest receivable
The carrying amounts of interest receivable approximate fair value.
Other assets
Other assets include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, and risk participation agreements (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above).

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.
Off-balance sheet instruments
The fair value of off-balance sheet instruments, including swap guarantees of $12.5 million at March 31, 2022 and $13.1 million at December 31, 2021, respectively, and standby letters of credit, approximates the recorded net deferred fee amounts. 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. In determining the fair value of the swap guarantees, the Company assesses the underlying credit risk exposure for each borrower in a paying position to the third-party financial institution.
Accrued interest payable
The carrying amounts of interest payable approximate fair value.
Other liabilities
Other liabilities include the fair value of interest rate products, derivatives on the residential mortgage held for sale loan pipeline, foreign exchange forward contracts, risk participation agreements, and derivative related to the sale of certain Visa Class B common shares (see discussion in “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section above).

15. 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. The Corporation does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
In 2020, the Company terminated its three interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges for a net gain of $1.3 million, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. The derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a variable rate loan pool. Hedge accounting was discontinued, and the net gain in accumulated comprehensive income 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 three months ended March 31, 2022, $0.1 million was reclassified into interest income. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.2 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest income.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Swap Guarantees
The Company entered into agreements with five 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 259 and 261 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 and $1.1 billion at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, the swap transactions remaining maturities ranged from under 1 year to 14 years. At March 31, 2022, 82 of these customer swaps were in a paying position to third parties for $6.6 million, with our swap guarantees having a fair value of $12.5 million. At December 31, 2021, 193 of these customer swaps were in a paying position to third parties for $35.8 million, with the Company's swap guarantees having a fair value of $13.1 million. However, for both periods, none of the Company's customers were in default of the swap agreements.
Customer Derivatives Interest Rate Swaps
The Company enters into interest rate swaps with commercial loan customers wishing to manage interest rate risk. The Company then enters into corresponding swap agreements with swap dealer counterparties to economically hedge the exposure arising from these contracts. The interest rate swaps with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under FASB ASC 815 and are marked to market through earnings. As the interest rate swaps are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying benchmark interest rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by FASB ASC 820. As of March 31, 2022, there were no fair value adjustments related to credit quality.
Derivative Financial Instruments from Mortgage Banking Activities
Derivative financial instruments related to mortgage banking activities are recorded at fair value and are not designated as accounting hedges. This includes commitments to originate certain fixed-rate residential mortgage loans to customers, also referred to as interest rate lock commitments. The Company may also enter into forward sale commitments to sell loans to investors at a fixed price at a future date and trade asset-backed securities to mitigate interest rate risk.
The table below presents the effect of the derivative financial instruments on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts (FX forwards) with customers to exchange one currency for another on an agreed date in the future at an agreed exchange rate. The Corporation then enters into corresponding FX forwards with swap dealer counterparties to economically hedge its exposure on the exchange rate component of the customer agreements. The FX forwards with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under FASB ASC 815 and are marked to market through earnings. Exposure to gains and losses on these contracts increase or decrease over their respective lives as currency exchange and interest rates fluctuate. As the FX forwards are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying term structure of currency exchange rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by FASB ASC 820. As of March 31, 2022, there were no fair value adjustments related to credit quality.
Risk Participation Agreements
The Company may enter into a risk participation agreement (RPA) with another institution as a means to assume a portion of the credit risk associated with a loan structure which includes a derivative instrument, in exchange for fee income commensurate with the risk assumed. This type of derivative is referred to as an “RPA sold.” In addition, in an effort to reduce the credit risk associated with an interest rate swap agreement with a borrower for whom the Corporation has provided a loan structured with a derivative, the Corporation may purchase an RPA from an institution participating in the facility in exchange for a fee commensurate with the risk shared. This type of derivative is referred to as an “RPA purchased.”
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
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 has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties, and has posted collateral of $6.0 million in securities and $7.2 million in cash against its obligations under these agreements which meets or exceeds the minimum collateral posting requirements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2022, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

16. 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 regulators, 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.
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.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Secondary Market Loan Sales
The Company typically sells newly originated residential mortgage loans in the secondary market to mortgage loan aggregators and on a more limited basis, to 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 two repurchases for $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and no repurchases during the same period in 2021.
Unfunded Lending Commitments
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses of unfunded lending commitments was $11.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively. A provision of $0.1 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to a provision for unfunded lending commitments of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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.
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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
WSFS Financial Corporation (WSFS, and together with its subsidiaries, the Company) is a savings and loan holding company headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. Substantially all of our assets are held by our subsidiary, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (WSFS Bank or the Bank), one of the ten oldest bank and trust companies in the United States (U.S.) continuously operating under the same name. With $21.0 billion in assets and $58.1 billion in assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) at March 31, 2022, WSFS Bank is the oldest and largest locally-managed bank and trust company headquartered in the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware region. As a federal savings bank that was formerly chartered as a state mutual savings bank, WSFS Bank enjoys a broader scope of permissible activities than most other financial institutions. A fixture in the community, we have been in operation for more than 190 years. In addition to our focus on stellar customer experience, we have continued to fuel growth and remain a leader in our community. We are a relationship-focused, locally-managed, community banking institution. Our mission is simple: “We Stand for Service.” Our strategy of “Engaged Associates, living our culture, enriching the communities we serve” focuses on exceeding customer expectations, delivering stellar experiences and building customer advocacy through highly-trained, relationship-oriented, friendly, knowledgeable and empowered Associates.
As of March 31, 2022, we had eight consolidated subsidiaries: WSFS Bank, WSFS Wealth Management, LLC (Powdermill®), WSFS Capital Management, LLC (West Capital), Cypress Capital Management, LLC (Cypress), Christiana Trust Company of Delaware® (Christiana Trust DE), WSFS SPE Services, LLC, The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware (BMT-DE), and 601 Perkasie, LLC.

Highlights for Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Results and other notable items include the following:
BMBC Merger
We successfully closed the BMBC Merger on January 1, 2022.
The total value of consideration paid of $908.0 million and $493.7 million in net assets acquired resulted in $414.3 million of goodwill recognized.
The BMBC Merger initially added $3.5 billion of net loans and leases, $4.1 billion of deposits, and $23.6 billion of AUM and AUA.
We recorded $34.0 million of corporate development expenses and $17.5 million of restructuring expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily related to the BMBC Merger.
Balance Sheet
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our balance sheet was significantly impacted by the net assets acquired from the BMBC Merger. See Note 3 for additional details.
Credit Metrics
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) on loans and leases increased $41.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to an initial ACL of $49.6 million recorded in connection with the BMBC Merger. The initial $49.6 million ACL recorded includes $23.5 million related to non-purchase credit deteriorated (PCD) loans, or the initial provision for credit loss recorded, and $26.1 million related to PCD loans, which did not have an initial income statement impact, but adjusted the amortized cost basis of the loans at acquisition (i.e., a balance sheet gross-up).
Other Notable Items
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, WSFS repurchased 938,985 shares of common stock under the Company's share repurchase program at an average price of $50.66, for an aggregate purchase price of $47.6 million.

Table of Contents
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased $5.2 billion to $21.0 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. This increase is primarily comprised of the following:
Net loans and leases, excluding loans held for sale, increased $3.4 billion primarily driven by the $3.5 billion of loans and leases acquired in the BMBC Merger partially offset by the initial $49.6 million ACL recorded in connection with the BMBC Merger.
Goodwill and intangible assets increased $414.3 million and $70.6 million, respectively, primarily due to the BMBC Merger. See Notes 3 and 10 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $750.8 million, primarily due to $573.8 million acquired in the BMBC Merger.
Investment securities, available-for-sale increased $290.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to $805.8 million in purchases and $500.4 million acquired in the BMBC merger, partially offset by repayments of $649.3 million and decreased market-values on available-for-sale securities of $363.0 million
Loans held for sale decreased $42.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 driven by a combination of lower origination volume and higher loans sales in our mortgage banking business during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Total liabilities increased $4.6 billion to $18.4 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. This increase is primarily comprised of the following:
Total deposits increased $4.4 billion, primarily driven by $4.1 billion of deposits assumed in the BMBC Merger.
Other liabilities increased $85.6 million primarily due to $123.2 million of BMT acquired liabilities, partially offset by $34.5 million lower accrued expenses reflecting the timing of settlement for debt security trades.
Senior and subordinated debt increased $100.5 million due to the addition of subordinated notes assumed in the BMBC Merger.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity of WSFS increased $581.4 million between December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to $908.0 million of WSFS common shares issued in connection with the BMBC Merger, partially offset by a decrease of $275.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive income on available-for-sale securities from the effect of decreased market-values, $47.6 million from the repurchase of shares of common stock under our stock repurchase plan, and the payment of dividends on our common stock of $8.5 million.
During the first quarter of 2022, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on May 20, 2022 to stockholders of record as of May 6, 2022.
Book value per share of common stock was $38.94 at March 31, 2022, an decrease of $1.79 from $40.73 at December 31, 2021. Tangible book value per share of common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $22.99 at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $6.25 from $29.24 at December 31, 2021. These decreases are due to the same drivers of the increase in stockholders' equity of WSFS described above. 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 leverage and risk-based capital measures and certain other factors. Depository institutions that are not classified as well-capitalized are subject to various restrictions, which may include restrictions on 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. In order to avoid limits 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 over each of the risk-based capital requirements. As of March 31, 2022, the Bank and the Company were in compliance with the regulatory capital requirements and met or exceeded the amounts required to be considered “well-capitalized” as defined in the regulations.
Not included in the Bank’s capital, WSFS separately held $147.2 million in cash to support share repurchases, potential dividends, acquisitions, strategic growth plans and other general corporate purposes.
As part of our adoption of the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology in 2020, we elected to phase in the day-one adverse effects on regulatory capital that may result from the adoption of CECL over a three-year period, as permitted under a final rule of the federal banking agencies.
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 and beyond.

As of March 31, 2022, the Corporation has $2.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Additionally, the maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $5.1 billion with an unused borrowing availability of $5.1 billion. Borrowing availability at the Federal Reserve Discount Window was $253.4 million, and borrowing availability through the overnight fed funds lines totaled $1.1 billion.
Our primary cash contractual obligations relate to operating leases, long-term debt, credit obligations, and data processing. At March 31, 2022, we had $275.0 million in total contractual payments for ongoing leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 40 years, which includes renewal options that are exercised at our discretion. For additional information on our operating leases see Note 9 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. At March 31, 2022, we had no FHLB advances, and obligations for principal payments on long-term debt included $67.0 million for our trust preferred borrowings, due June 1, 2035, and $150.0 million for our senior debt, due December 15, 2030. In connection with the BMBC Merger, we assumed debt in the form of $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2025 and $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2027. We also acquired Royal Bancshares Capital Trust I (Trust I) and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II (Trust II) (collectively, the Trusts), which were utilized for the sole purpose of issuing and selling capital securities representing preferred beneficial interests. Although WSFS owns an aggregate of $774.0 thousand of the common securities of Trust I and Trust II, the Trusts are not consolidated into the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Inclusive of the fair value marks, WSFS assumed junior subordinated debentures owed to the Trusts of with a carrying value of $11.6 million each, totaling $23.2 million. The Company records its investments in the Trusts’ common securities of $387.0 thousand each as investments in unconsolidated entities and records dividend income upon declaration by Trust I and Trust II. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of the Trusts, including any distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the capital securities.
We are also contractually obligated to make interest payments on our long-term debt through their respective maturities. For additional information regarding long-term debt, see Note 12 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. At March 31, 2022, the Company had total commitments to extend credit of $3.3 billion, which are generally one year commitments.
In 2022, we plan to invest approximately $15 million in our Delivery Transformation initiative to increase adoption and usage of digital channels aligned with our strategy. Our organization is committed to product and service innovation as a means to drive growth and to stay ahead of changing customer demands and emerging competition. We are focused on developing and maintaining a strong “culture of innovation” that solicits, captures, prioritizes and executes innovation initiatives, including feedback from our customers, as well as leveraging technology from product creation to process improvement.

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:

Nonperforming assets increased $4.7 million between December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to the transfer in of one C&I relationship totaling $5.5 million during the period, which was partially offset by several smaller payoffs and the continued collection of principal payments. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased from 0.21% at December 31, 2021 to 0.18% at March 31, 2022.

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.

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. Interest rates are partly a function of decisions by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) on the target range for the federal funds rate, and these decisions are sometimes difficult to anticipate. In response to the economic and financial effects of COVID-19, the FOMC reduced interest rates through 2020 and 2021 and instituted quantitative easing measures as well as domestic and global capital market support programs. The FOMC raised the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points in March 2022 and by another 50 basis points in May 2022, and has suggested that it may take steps to raise interest rates several more times in 2022. In order to manage the risks associated with changes or possible changes in interest rates, we rely primarily on our asset/liability structure.
Our primary tool for achieving our asset/liability management strategies is to match 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. We regularly review our interest rate sensitivity and adjust the sensitivity within acceptable tolerance ranges. At March 31, 2022, interest-earning assets exceeded interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within one year (interest-sensitive gap) by $2.6 billion. Our interest-sensitive assets as a percentage of interest-sensitive liabilities within the one-year window was 134.71% at March 31, 2022 compared with 120.40% at December 31, 2021. Likewise, the one-year interest-sensitive gap as a percentage of total assets was 12.19% at March 31, 2022 compared with 7.28% at December 31, 2021.
The repricing and maturities of our interest-rate sensitive assets and interest-rate sensitive liabilities at March 31, 2022 are shown in the following table:

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 evaluates 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 2022: Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $3.8 million, compared to $65.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Net interest income increased $24.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the increase in average balances, primarily in loans and leases as a result of the BMBC Merger and mortgage-backed securities. See “Net Interest Income” for further information.
Our provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $39.1 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the initial provision for credit losses of $23.5 million recorded in connection with the BMBC Merger. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further information.
Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $12.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the increased Wealth Management revenue attributable to the BMBC Merger, partially offset by a decline in our mortgage banking business. See “Noninterest Income” for further information.
Noninterest expense increased $78.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to increases in corporate development expenses, restructuring expenses, and salaries and benefits. See “Noninterest Expense” for further information.
Income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased $19.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the $80.8 million decrease in pre-tax income.

Three months ended March 31, 2022: During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net interest income increased $24.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the increases in average balances, primarily in loans and leases and mortgage-backed securities. Net interest margin was 3.01% for the first quarter of 2022, a 58 basis point decrease compared to 3.59% for the first quarter of 2021 due to reductions of 30 basis points from lower purchase accounting accretion, 16 basis points from the balance sheet size and mix, and 12 basis points from PPP loans.
The following table provides certain information regarding changes in net interest income attributable to changes in the volumes of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in the rates for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on the changes that are attributable to: (i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate); (ii) changes in rates (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume on each category); and (iii) net change (the sum of the change in volume and the change in rate). Changes due to the combination of rate and volume changes (changes in volume multiplied by changes in rate) are allocated proportionately between changes in rate and changes in volume.

Allowance 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $19.0 million, a net change of $39.1 million as compared with the recovery of credit losses of $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the initial provision for credit losses of $23.5 million recorded in connection with the BMBC Merger.
The allowance for credit losses increased to $136.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $94.5 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an initial ACL of $49.6 million recorded in connection with the BMBC Merger. The initial $49.6 million ACL recorded includes $23.5 million related to non-PCD loans, or the initial provision for credit loss recorded, and $26.1 million related to PCD loans, which does not have an initial income statement impact, but adjusts the amortized cost basis of the loans at acquisition (i.e., a balance sheet gross-up). The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases was 1.19% at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Noninterest Income
Three months ended March 31, 2022: During the three months ended March 31, 2022, noninterest income was $60.6 million, an increase of $12.8 million from $47.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was driven by a $15.9 million increase in Wealth Management revenue, of which $13.3 million was attributable to the BMBC Merger. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2022, included $1.5 million of capital markets income and $1.3 million of insurance income, both attributable to the BMBC Merger. Partially offsetting the increase was a $5.7 million decrease in mortgage banking activities, primarily resulting from the decline in refinancing originations compared to the historically higher levels during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Noninterest Expense
Three months ended March 31, 2022: During the three month ended March 31, 2022, noninterest expense was $174.5 million, an increase of $78.8 million from $95.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases of $31.9 million and $17.8 million of Corporate development expenses and Restructuring expenses, respectively, both related to the BMBC Merger, as well as a $17.8 million increase in Salaries, benefits and other compensation as a result of increased headcount primarily from the BMBC Merger as well as higher salaries.
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 expense of $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to income tax expense of $21.4 million for the same period in 2021.
Our effective tax rate was 30.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 24.7% for the same period in 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased primarily due to reduction in pretax income. While we incurred $0.4 million of tax expense related to nondeductible acquisition costs during both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the impact to the effective tax rate was much higher in 2022 due to the lower level of pretax income.
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, research and development 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.

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 related to the allowance for credit losses, business combinations, deferred taxes, fair value measurements and 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 certain assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Although our current estimates contemplate current economic conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, for the remainder of 2022, 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. The following critical accounting policy involves more significant judgments and estimates. We have reviewed this critical accounting policy and estimates with the Audit Committee.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for credit losses (ACL) which represents our best estimate of expected losses in our financial assets, which include loans, leases and held-to-maturity debt securities. We establish our allowance in accordance with guidance provided in ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ACL includes two primary components: (i) an allowance established on financial assets which share similar risk characteristics collectively evaluated for credit losses (collective basis), and (ii) an allowance established on financial assets which do not share similar risk characteristics with any loan segment and is individually evaluated for credit losses (individual basis). We consider the determination of the allowance for credit losses to be critical because it requires significant judgment reflecting our best estimate of expected credit losses based on our historical loss experience, current conditions and economic forecasts. Our evaluation is based upon a continuous review of our financial assets, with consideration given to evaluations resulting from examinations performed by regulatory authorities. The allowance for credit losses increased to $136.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $94.5 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an initial ACL of $49.6 million recorded in connection with the BMBC Merger. See Note 7 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the ACL.
The calculation of expected credit losses is determined using a single scenario third-party economic forecast to adjust the calculated historical loss rates of the portfolio segments to incorporate the effects of current and future economic conditions. The determination of the appropriate level of the ACL inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates, including modeling methodology, historical loss experience, relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to qualitative adjustment factors, prepayment speeds and reasonable and supportable forecasts about future economic conditions. The Company's economic forecast considers the general health of the economy, the interest rate environment, real estate pricing and market risk
The ACL may increase or decrease due to changes in economic conditions affecting borrowers and macroeconomic variables that our financial assets are more susceptible to, including unforeseen events such as natural disasters and pandemics, new information regarding existing financial assets, identification of additional problems assets, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other factors. These changes, both within and outside the Company’s control, may frequently update and have a material impact to our financial results.

Table of Contents
Because current economic conditions and forecasts can change and future events are inherently difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated credit losses on our financial assets, and therefore the appropriateness of the ACL, could change significantly. It is difficult to estimate how potential changes in any one economic factor or input might affect the overall ACL because a wide variety of factors and inputs are considered in these estimates and changes in those factors and inputs considered may not occur at the same rate and may not be consistent across the Company’s portfolio mix and segmentation. Additionally, changes in factors and inputs may be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others. As of March 31, 2022, the Company believes that its ACL was adequate.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations under ASC 805, Business Combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and record the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, consideration paid, and any non-controlling interests of the acquired business at fair value at the acquisition date. The excess of consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The fair values are preliminary estimates subject to adjustments during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year after acquisition. The application of business combination principles, including the determination of the fair value of net assets acquired, requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. See Note 3 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Determining estimated fair value requires a significant amount of judgment and estimates. If our assumptions change or errors are determined in its calculations, the fair value could materially change resulting in a change in our goodwill or identifiable net assets acquired, including identified intangible assets. As of March 31, 2022, the Company believes that the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, consideration paid, and any non-controlling interests of the acquired business at fair value at the acquisition date was adequate.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the first quarter of 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of 7,594,977 shares of common stock, or 15% of its outstanding shares as of March 31, 2020. 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 three months ended March 31, 2022, WSFS repurchased 938,985 shares of common stock under the Company's share repurchase program at an average price of $50.66, for an aggregate purchase price of $47.6 million.
