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 in financial markets, particularly in the markets in which the Company operates and in which its loans are concentrated, including difficult and unfavorable conditions and trends related to housing markets, costs of living, unemployment levels, interest rates, supply chain issues, inflation, and economic growth;
the impacts related to or resulting from recent bank failures and other economic and industry volatility, including potential increased regulatory requirements and costs and potential impacts to macroeconomic conditions;
possible additional loan losses and impairment of the collectability of loans;
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;
the discontinued publication of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the transition to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as an alternative reference interest rate;
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;
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;
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/or operational controls of the Company’s Cash Connect® and/or Wealth Management divisions;
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);
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;
any compounding effects or unexpected interaction 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.

(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
General
These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of WSFS Financial Corporation (WSFS, and together with its subsidiaries, the Company), and its consolidated subsidiaries. WSFS’ primary subsidiary is Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (WSFS Bank or the Bank).

The Company also has three unconsolidated subsidiaries: WSFS Capital Trust III, Royal Bancshares Capital Trust I, and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II. WSFS Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Beneficial Equipment Finance Corporation (BEFC) and 1832 Holdings, Inc., and one majority-owned subsidiary, NewLane Finance Company (NewLane Finance®).
On January 1, 2023, WSFS completed the merger and brand conversion of WSFS Capital Management, LLC (West Capital) and Cypress Capital Management, LLC and renamed the combined entity Bryn Mawr Capital Management, LLC. BMCM is registered as an investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WSFS.
Overview
Founded in 1832, the Bank is one of the ten oldest bank and trust companies continuously operating under the same name in the United States (U.S.). The Company provides residential and commercial real estate, commercial and consumer lending services, as well as consumer deposit and treasury management services. The Company's core banking business is commercial lending funded primarily by customer-generated deposits. In addition, the Company offers a variety of wealth management and trust services to individuals, institutions and corporations. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures the customers’ deposits to their legal maximums. The Company serves its customers primarily from 116 offices located in Pennsylvania (59), Delaware (40), New Jersey (14), Florida (1),  Nevada (1) and Virginia (1), its ATM network, website at www.wsfsbank.com and mobile app. Information on the website is not incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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), 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.
The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (GAAP), prevailing practices within the banking industry for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X (Rule 10-01). Rule 10-01 does not require us to include all information and notes that would be required in audited financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2023. These unaudited, interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K) that was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023 and is available at www.sec.gov or on the website at www.wsfsbank.com. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Those significant accounting policies remain unchanged at September 30, 2023, except for the following:
Past Due and Nonaccrual Loans
Past due loans are defined as loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments. Past due loans 90 days or more that remain in accrual status are considered well secured and in the process of collection.
Nonaccruing loans are those on which the accrual of interest has ceased. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status immediately if, in the opinion of the Company, collection is doubtful, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not well secured and in the process of collection. 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 the Company’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of principal and interest. Loans are returned to accrual status when the Company assesses that the borrower has the ability to make all principal and interest payments in accordance with the terms of the loan (i.e., a consistent repayment record, generally six consecutive payments, has been demonstrated).
For loans greater than 90 days past due, unless loans are well-secured and collection is imminent, their respective reserves are generally charged off once the loss has been confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off and expected to be charged off.
A loan, for which the terms have been modified in the current reporting period in the form of principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other than-insignificant payment delay, or a term extension to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, is considered a troubled loan. The assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.
Principal balances are generally not forgiven when a loan is modified as a troubled loan. Nonaccruing troubled loans remain in nonaccrual status until there has been a period of sustained repayment performance demonstrated and repayment is reasonably assured. Since the effect of most troubled loans are already included in the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification.
For additional detail regarding past due and nonaccrual loans, see Note 7.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans and Leases
The Company establishes its allowance in accordance with guidance provided in ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses includes quantitative and qualitative factors that comprise the Company's current estimate of expected credit losses, including the Company's portfolio mix and segmentation, 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 portfolio segments, established based on similar risk characteristics and loss behaviors, are:
Commercial Loans and Leases: Commercial and industrial - real estate secured, commercial and industrial - non-real estate secured, owner-occupied commercial, commercial mortgages, construction and commercial small business leases, and
Residential and Consumer Loans: Residential mortgage, equity secured lines and loans, installment loans, unsecured lines of credit, originated education loans and previously acquired education loans.
Expected credit losses are net of expected recoveries and estimated over the contractual term, adjusted for expected prepayments. The contractual term excludes any extensions, renewals and modifications unless they are not unconditionally cancellable. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Expected prepayments are based on historical experience and considers adjustments for current and future economic conditions.
The allowance includes two primary components: (i) an allowance established on loans which share similar risk characteristics collectively evaluated for credit losses (collective basis) and (ii) an allowance established on loans which do not share similar risk characteristics with any loan segment and are individually evaluated for credit losses (individual basis).

Table of Contents
Loans that share similar risk characteristics are collectively reviewed for credit loss and are evaluated based on historical loss experience, adjusted for current economic conditions and future economic forecasts. Estimated losses are determined differently for commercial and residential and consumer loans, and each portfolio segment is further segmented by internally assessed risk ratings.
The Company uses 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 Company's economic forecast considers the general health of the economy, the interest rate environment, real estate pricing and market risk. The Company's forecast extends out 6 quarters (the forecast period) and reverts to the historical loss rates on a straight-line basis over 4 quarters (the reversion period) as it believes this to be reasonable and supportable in the current environment. The economic forecast and reversion periods will be evaluated periodically by the Company and updated as appropriate.
The historical loss rates for commercial loans are estimated by determining the probability of default (PD) and expected loss given default (LGD) and are applied to the loans' exposure at default. The probability of default is calculated based on the historical rate of migration to an event of credit loss during the look-back period. The historical loss rates for consumer loans is calculated based on average net loss rates over the same look-back period. The current look-back period is 51 quarters which ensures historical loss rates are adequately considering losses within a full credit cycle.
Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with any loan segments are evaluated on an individual basis. These loans, which may include troubled loans, are not included in the collective basis evaluation. When it is probable the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to their contractual terms, which is assessed based on the credit characteristics of the loan and/or payment status, these loans are individually reviewed and measured for potential credit loss.
The amount of the potential credit loss is measured using any of the following three methods: (i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (ii) the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent; or (iii) the loan’s observable market price. If the measured fair value of the loan is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, an allowance for credit loss is recorded.
For collateral dependent loans, the expected credit losses at the individual asset level are the difference between the collateral's fair value (less cost to sell) and the amortized cost.
Qualitative adjustment factors consider various internal and external conditions which are allocated among loan segments and take into consideration:
Current underwriting policies, staff and portfolio concentrations,
Risk rating accuracy, credit and administration,
Internal risk emergence (including internal trends of delinquency, and criticized loans by segment),
Economic forecasts and conditions - locally and nationally (including market trends impacting collateral values), which is separate from or in addition to the third-party economic forecast described above, and
Competitive environment, as it could impact loan structure and underwriting.
These factors are based on their relative standing compared to the period in which historical losses are used in quantitative reserve estimates and current directional trends, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Qualitative factors can add to or subtract from quantitative reserves.
The Company's loan officers and risk managers meet at least quarterly to discuss and review the conditions and risks associated with individual problem loans. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the Company's loan ratings and allowance for credit losses and the Bank's internal loan review department performs recurring loan reviews.
Accrued interest receivable on loans is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and is included in Accrued interest receivable on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
For additional detail regarding the allowance for credit losses and the provision for credit losses, see Note 7.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2023
ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures: In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The guidance eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors (ASC 310-40) while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The guidance also requires that an entity disclose current-period write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Topic 326. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2023. For further details on the impact of the adoption and accounting policies, see updated Significant Accounting Policies, as described above, and troubled loans disclosures in Note 7 - Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality Information.
Accounting Guidance Pending Adoption as of September 30, 2023
ASU No. 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842) Common Control Agreements: In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842) Common Control Agreements. The amendment clarifies the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with common control leases by allowing the lessee to amortize the leasehold improvements over the useful life of the common control group’s use of the underlying asset, regardless of the lease term. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption is required on a modified retrospective basis, consistent with the Company's adoption of Topic 842. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU No. 2023-02, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method: In March 2023, The FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method. The amendments permit reporting entities to elect to account for any equity investments in a tax credit program using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption is required on a prospective, modified retrospective, or retrospective basis depending on the amendment. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. NONINTEREST INCOME
Credit/debit card and ATM income
The following table presents the components of credit/debit card and ATM income:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)2023202220232022
Bailment fees$9,982 $6,306 $28,051 $13,105

Total credit/debit card and ATM income$14,869 $10,993 $42,660 $27,446 
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
The following table presents the components of investment management and fiduciary income:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)2023202220232022

Total investment management and fiduciary income$32,720 $29,504 $95,575 $90,877 
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 Bryn Mawr Trust (excluding BMT-DE), BMCM, Powdermill®, and WSFS Wealth® Investments. 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 monthly, quarterly and annual billings for the services.

Deposit service charges includes revenue earned from core deposit products, certificates of deposit, and brokered deposits. The Company generates fee revenues from deposit service charges primarily through service charges and overdraft fees. Service charges consist primarily of monthly account maintenance fees, treasury management fees, foreign ATM fees and other maintenance fees. All of these revenue streams generate fee income through service charges for monthly account maintenance and similar items, transfer fees, late fees, overlimit fees, and stop payment fees. Revenue is recorded at the time of the transaction.

(1)Includes commissions income from BMT Insurance Advisors (BMTIA) in 2022. The BMTIA business was sold at the end of the second quarter of 2022.
Other income consists of managed service fees, which are primarily courier fees related to treasury management, currency preparation, ATM loss protection, capital markets revenue, and other miscellaneous products and services offered by the Bank. These fees are primarily generated through monthly billings or at the time of the transaction. Capital markets revenue consists of fees related to interest rate swaps, risk participation agreements, foreign exchange contracts, letters of credit, and trade finance products and services offered by the Bank. Through its subsidiary BMTIA, the Bank earned commissions from the sale of insurance policies, which are generally calculated as a percentage of the policy premium, and contingent income, which is calculated based on the volume and performance of the policies held by each carrier. Obligations for the sale of insurance policies are generally satisfied at the point in time which the policy is executed and are recognized at the point in time in which the amounts are known and collection is reasonably assured. Performance metrics for contingent income are generally satisfied over time, not exceeding one year, and are recognized at the point in time in which the amounts are known and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company's contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers.
Practical expedients and exemptions
The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.
See Note 14 for further information about the disaggregation of noninterest income by segment.

(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 6.0 years at September 30, 2023.
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 $3.3 billion and $2.8 billion were pledged as collateral for investment sweep repurchase agreements, municipal deposits, and other obligations as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no sales of debt securities categorized as available-for-sale.

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 September 30, 2023.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, held-to-maturity debt securities had an amortized cost basis of $1.1 billion.

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.

Troubled Loans
The Company offers loan modifications to commercial and consumer borrowers that may result in a payment delay, interest rate reduction, term extension, principal forgiveness, or combination thereof. Loan modifications are offered on a case-by-case basis and are generally term extension, payment delay, and interest rate reduction modification types. Forbearance (due to hardship) programs result in modification types including payment delay and/or term extension. In addition, certain reorganization bankruptcy judgments may result in interest rate reduction, term extension, or principal forgiveness modification types.
The following table shows the amortized cost basis at the end of the reporting period of troubled loans, disaggregated by portfolio segment and type of modification granted.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had commitments to extend credit of $4.8 million to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose terms had been modified.
Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

9. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, management determined based on its qualitative assessment that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values, and no goodwill impairment existed during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The following table shows the allocation of goodwill to the reportable operating segments for purposes of goodwill impairment testing:

Servicing Assets
The Company records mortgage servicing rights on its mortgage loan servicing portfolio, which includes mortgages that it acquires or originates as well as mortgages that it services for others, and servicing rights on Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. Mortgage servicing rights and SBA loan servicing rights are included in Intangible assets in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Mortgage loans which the Company services for others are not included in Loans and leases, net of allowance in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Servicing rights represent the present value of the future net servicing fees from servicing mortgage loans the Company acquires or originates, or that it services for others.
The value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights was $1.8 million and $2.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and the value of its SBA loan servicing rights was $4.2 million and $4.0 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Changes in the value of the Company's servicing rights resulted in a reversal of impairment losses of $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and impairment losses of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

12. 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.
The following tables present financial instruments carried at fair value as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by level in the valuation hierarchy (as described above):

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 without readily determinable fair values and equity method investments, which are categorized as Level 3. 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.

Table of Contents
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 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).

Table of Contents
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).
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 $7.7 million at September 30, 2023 and $10.4 million at December 31, 2022, 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).

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate options, including floors, caps, collars, or swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate options designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
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 also has agreements with certain derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if it fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized or adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.
During 2023, the Company purchased six interest rate floors at a premium of $9.7 million with an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 million to hedge variable cash flows associated with a variable rate loan pool through the third quarter of 2026. Changes to the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecast transaction affects earnings. If the Company determines that a cash flow hedge is no longer highly effective, future changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument would be reported in earnings. As of September 30, 2023, the Company determined the cash flow hedges remain highly effective. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of amortization expense on the premium was reclassified into interest income. The Company does not expect any unrealized gains or losses related to cash flow hedges to be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months.
In 2020, the Company terminated its three interest rate swaps 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 continued to be probable, the remaining net gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million was reclassified into interest income, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, this gain has been fully recognized and reclassified to interest income.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
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 ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (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 ASC 820. As of September 30, 2023, 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.

Table of Contents
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 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 ASC 820. As of September 30, 2023, 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.”
Swap Guarantees
The Company entered into agreements with one unrelated financial institution whereby that financial institution 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, the financial institution has 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 193 and 209 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 $0.8 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, the swap transactions remaining maturities ranged from under 1 year to 12 years. At September 30, 2023, none of these customer swaps were in a paying position to third parties, with our swap guarantees having a fair value of $7.7 million. At December 31, 2022, none of these customer swaps were in a paying position to third parties, with the Company's swap guarantees having a fair value of $10.4 million. However, for both periods, none of the Company's customers were in default of the swap agreements.
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 $5.0 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 September 30, 2023, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

14. 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 consumer customers. Commercial and Consumer 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 smart 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. Bryn Mawr Trust® is our predominant Private Wealth Management brand, providing advisory, investment management and trustee services to institutions, affluent and high-net-worth individuals. The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware provides personal trust and fiduciary services to families and individuals across the U.S. and internationally. WSFS Institutional Services® provides trustee, agency, bankruptcy administration, custodial and commercial domicile services to institutional, corporate clients and special purpose vehicles. Private Wealth Management serves high-net-worth clients and institutions by providing trustee and advisory services, financial planning, customized investment strategies, brokerage products such as annuities and traditional banking services such as credit and deposit products tailored to its clientele. Private Wealth Management includes businesses that operate under the bank’s charter, through a broker/dealer and as a registered investment advisor (RIA). It generates revenue through a percentage fee based on account assets, fee-only arrangements, net interest income and other fee-only services such as estate administration, trust tax planning and custody. Powdermill® is a multi-family office specializing in providing independent solutions to high-net-worth individuals, families and corporate executives through a coordinated, centralized approach.

15. 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 to GSEs such as FHLMC, FNMA, and on a more limited basis, 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 on 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.
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 was one repurchase during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 for $0.8 million and two repurchases for $0.8 million during the same period in 2022.
Unfunded Lending Commitments
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses of unfunded lending commitments was $12.1 million and $11.9 million, respectively. A provision expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to a provision expense of $0.7 million and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

17. 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 $20.0 billion in assets and $77.6 billion in assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) at September 30, 2023, 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 191 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.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased $126.2 million to $20.0 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022. This increase is primarily comprised of the following:
Net loans and leases held for investment increased $742.4 million primarily due to increases of $294.6 million in commercial mortgages, $146.2 million in consumer loans primarily from our consumer partnerships, $114.6 million in owner-occupied commercial loans, and $96.2 million in residential loans.
Other assets increased $84.4 million, primarily due to a $40.4 million increase due to fair value changes of derivatives from our capital markets business and a $32.2 million increase on our deferred tax asset related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.
Total investment securities decreased $444.3 million:
Investment securities, available-for-sale decreased $401.5 million primarily due to repayments, maturities and calls of $269.2 million and decreased market values of $151.2 million, partially offset by purchases of $21.1 million.
Investment securities, held-to-maturity decreased $42.7 million, primarily due to repayments, maturities and calls of $57.8 million, partially offset by $17.0 million of amortization of net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities transferred to held-to-maturity.
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $225.8 million, primarily due to decreases in customer deposits, increased lending activity, and the redemption of the 2025 Notes, partially offset by an increase in other borrowed funds.
Stock in FHLB decreased $11.9 million due to a decrease in the borrowing activity.
Total liabilities increased $92.7 million to $17.8 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022. This increase is primarily comprised of the following:
Other borrowed funds increased $545.6 million primarily due to $565.0 million borrowed from the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) as a result of favorable terms and pricing.
Other liabilities increased $81.7 million, primarily due to a $72.9 million increase in capital markets derivative collateral, and a $40.3 million increase in the fair value of derivatives from our capital markets business, partially offset by a $12.4 million reduction in accrued expenses primarily due to compensation activity, an $11.2 million reduction in lease liabilities due to scheduled and accelerated amortization related to branch closures during the year, and a $7.9 million decrease in accrued taxes.
FHLB advances decreased $350.0 million due to the repayment of fixed rate FHLB term advances as part of our routine balance sheet management.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity of WSFS increased $37.7 million between December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to $205.2 million of earnings, partially offset by an increase of $104.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss driven by market value decreases on available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities, $42.3 million from the repurchase of shares of common stock under our stock repurchase plan, and the payment of dividends on our common stock of $27.6 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock. This dividend will be paid on November 17, 2023 to stockholders of record as of November 3, 2023.

Book value per share of common stock was $36.93 at September 30, 2023, an increase of $1.14 from $35.79 at December 31, 2022. Tangible book value per share of common stock (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $20.33 at September 30, 2023, an increase of $0.97 from $19.36 at December 31, 2022.  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. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (GAAP), and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. For a reconciliation of tangible book value per common share to book value per share in accordance with GAAP, see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure to GAAP Measure."

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 September 30, 2023, 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 $201.3 million in cash to support share repurchases, potential dividends, acquisitions, strategic growth plans and other general corporate purposes.

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, commercial, consumer, wealth and trust deposits, 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 September 30, 2023, the Company had $0.6 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. As of September 30, 2023, our estimated uninsured deposits were $5.8 billion, or 37% of total customer deposits, and our estimated unprotected deposits (uninsured and uncollateralized) were $4.4 billion, or 28% of total customer deposits.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a readily available, secured borrowing capacity of $5.3 billion from the FHLB, $0.7 billion through the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and $1.0 billion through the BTFP. In addition, the Company had $1.3 billion in unpledged securities that could be used to support additional borrowings and $0.1 billion of cash deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company’s readily available, secured borrowing capacity to estimated unprotected deposits ratio is 188%.
Our primary cash contractual obligations relate to operating leases, long-term debt, credit obligations, and data processing. At September 30, 2023, we had $205.2 million in total contractual payments for ongoing leases that have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 22 years, which includes renewal options that are exercised at our discretion. For additional information on our operating leases see Note 8 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2023, we had obligations for principal payments on long-term debt including $67.0 million for our trust preferred borrowings, due June 1, 2035, $70.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2027, and $150.0 million for our senior debt, due December 15, 2030. Royal Bancshares Capital Trust I (Trust I) and Royal Bancshares Capital Trust II (Trust II) (collectively, the Trusts), which were acquired from Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation, were utilized for the sole purpose of issuing and selling capital securities representing preferred beneficial interests. Although WSFS owns an aggregate of $0.8 million of the common securities of Trust I and Trust II, the Trusts are not consolidated into the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Inclusive of the fair value marks, WSFS assumed junior subordinated debentures owed to the Trusts with a carrying value of $11.8 million each, totaling $23.6 million. The Company records its investments in the Trusts’ common securities of $0.4 million 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.
Commitments to extend credit provide for financing on predetermined terms as long as the customer continues to meet specific criteria. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At September 30, 2023, the Company had total commitments to extend credit of $4.0 billion, which are generally one year commitments.

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 $14.4 million between December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the addition of six commercial relationships, partially offset by the adoption of ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased from 0.22% at December 31, 2022 to 0.29% at September 30, 2023.

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 seven times in 2022 for a total of 425 basis points and four times in 2023 for a total of 100 basis points, and has suggested it may continue raising interest rates further in 2023. 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 September 30, 2023, interest-earning assets exceeded interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within one year (interest-sensitive gap) by $81.2 million. Our interest-sensitive assets as a percentage of interest-sensitive liabilities within the one-year window was 100.96% at September 30, 2023 compared with 116.93% at December 31, 2022. Likewise, the one-year interest-sensitive gap as a percentage of total assets was 0.41% at September 30, 2023 compared with 6.29% at December 31, 2022.
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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

We also engage in other business activities that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, mortgage banking revenues and expenses can fluctuate with changing interest rates. These fluctuations are difficult to model and estimate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended September 30, 2023: Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $74.2 million, compared to $73.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Net interest income increased $5.8 million primarily due to the rising interest rate environment and balance sheet size and mix. See “Net Interest Income” for further information.
Our provision for credit losses increased $11.0 million primarily due to net loan growth and downgrades, partially offset by the impact of the economic forecast. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further information.
Noninterest income increased $10.0 million primarily due to increases in income from Cash Connect®, Wealth Management fee income, and capital markets income. These increases were partially offset by decreases in other banking fees. See “Noninterest Income” for further information.
Noninterest expense increased $6.8 million primarily due to higher variable operating costs from Cash Connect®, salaries and benefits costs, and professional fees, partially offset by a decrease in net corporate development and restructuring costs.
Income tax provision decreased $2.9 million primarily due to the $1.9 million decrease in pre-tax income and higher projected tax benefits from our lower income housing tax credit investments, partially offset by the impacts of non-deductible goodwill written off during the sale of the BMTIA business.
Nine months ended September 30, 2023: Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $205.2 million, compared to $137.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Net interest income increased $78.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the reasons described above. See “Net Interest Income” for further information.
Our provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $28.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to the impacts of the economic uncertainty and forecast. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further information.
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $7.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to increases in income from Cash Connect®, Wealth Management fee income, and capital markets income. These increases were partially offset by decreases in other banking fees and mortgage banking activities, and unrealized gains on equity investments and income from BMTIA (business sold in 2022). See “Noninterest Income” for further information.
Noninterest expense decreased $27.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in net corporate development and restructuring costs, partially offset by increases in other operating expense driven by Cash Connect®, salaries and benefits costs, and professional fees. See “Noninterest Expense” for further information.
Income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $17.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the $84.3 million increase in pre-tax income.

Table of Contents
Three months ended September 30, 2023: During the three months ended September 30, 2023, net interest income increased $5.8 million from the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the rising interest rate environment and balance sheet size and mix. Net interest margin was 4.08% for the third quarter of 2023, a 9 basis point increase compared to 3.99% for the third quarter of 2022 due to a favorable increase of 14 basis points from loan growth and mix, partially offset by a decrease of 4 basis points due to increasing deposit betas and 1 basis point from purchase accounting accretion.
Nine months ended September 30, 2023: During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net interest income increased $78.0 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase included $79.9 million from balance sheet size and mix and the benefits of our asset sensitive balance sheet, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in purchase accounting accretion. Net interest margin was 4.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a 69 basis point increase compared to 3.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflecting a 40 basis point increase due to our asset-sensitive balance sheet and a 30 basis point increase due to loan growth and mix, partially offset by 1 basis point from purchase accounting accretion.
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 September 30, 2023, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $18.4 million, a net change of $11.0 million, as compared with the provision for credit losses of $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to net loan growth and downgrades, partially offset by the impact of the economic forecast.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $63.3 million, a net change of $28.6 million, as compared with the provision for credit losses of $34.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to the impact of the economic uncertainty and forecast.
The allowance for credit losses increased to $176.0 million at September 30, 2023 from $151.9 million at December 31, 2022. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases was 1.28% at September 30, 2023 and 1.17% at December 31, 2022.

Noninterest Income
Three months ended September 30, 2023: During the three months ended September 30, 2023, noninterest income was $72.7 million, an increase of $10.0 million from $62.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by $5.8 million from Cash Connect®, $3.8 million in Wealth Management fees, and $2.8 million in capital markets income. Partially offsetting these increases was a $3.7 million decrease in other banking fees from lower returns on derivative collateral as a result of funding optimization and lower income from our consumer lending partnerships.

Table of Contents
Nine months ended September 30, 2023: During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, noninterest income was $202.7 million, an increase of $7.4 million from $195.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by $21.9 million from Cash Connect®, $2.6 million in Wealth Management fees, and $2.4 million in capital markets income. These increases were partially offset by an $11.1 million decrease in other banking fees and a $2.8 million decrease in mortgage banking activities. In addition to these decreases, we recognized $6.0 million of unrealized gains on equity investments and $2.6 million from BMTIA in 2022.
For further information, see Note 3 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Noninterest Expense
Three months ended September 30, 2023: During the three months ended September 30, 2023, noninterest expense was $139.7 million, an increase of $6.8 million from $132.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to $6.3 million in other operating expense driven by higher variable operating costs from Cash Connect®, $2.2 million from salaries and benefits costs, and $1.1 million from professional fees. These increases were partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in net corporate development and restructuring costs.
Nine months ended September 30, 2023: During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, noninterest expense was $414.0 million, a decrease of $27.4 million from $441.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a $61.6 million decrease in net corporate development and restructuring costs, partially offset by increases of $20.8 million in other operating expense driven by higher variable operating costs from Cash Connect®, $8.3 million in salaries and benefits costs, and $2.9 million in professional fees.
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 $22.9 million and $66.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $25.8 million and $49.9 million for the same periods in 2022, respectively.
Our effective tax rate was 23.6% and 24.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 26.0% and 26.5% for the same periods in 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased primarily due to an increase in projected tax benefits from our low-income housing tax credit investments as well as a reduction in state income taxes. In addition, we incurred $0.4 million of tax expense related to nondeductible merger costs incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 combined with $1.9 million of tax expense related to nondeductible goodwill written off during the sale of the BMTIA business that occurred in that same period.
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 (incurred in 2022) 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 2023, 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.
Critical accounting estimates at September 30, 2023 did not significantly change from our critical accounting estimates at December 31, 2022, which are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
Recent regulatory developments at September 30, 2023 did not significantly change from our recent regulatory developments at December 31, 2022, which are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as noted below.
Potential Regulatory Reforms in Response to Recent Bank Failures
The recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California, Signature Bank, New York, New York, and First Republic Bank, San Francisco, California, in March and April of this year, have led, and may continue to lead, to regulatory changes and initiatives that could impact the Company. For example, the FDIC has stated that it plans to impose a special deposit insurance assessment on banks in order to recover losses that the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) incurred in the receiverships of these institutions. In addition, President Biden has encouraged the federal banking agencies to adopt various reforms, including the completion of an incentive compensation rule for bank executives pursuant to Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act, in response to these bank failures. Further, on April 28, 2023, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC issued reports on the potential causes of failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, respectively. Among the changes discussed, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC highlighted the need to change their approach to supervising banks of all sizes as well as to their capital and other regulatory requirements. Despite these initiatives, it remains unclear what actions federal regulatory agencies will ultimately take as a result of these failures.

FDIC Special Assessment
On May 11, 2023, the FDIC published a proposed rule that would impose a special deposit insurance assessment on insured depository institutions in order to recover losses that the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) has incurred in the receiverships of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The proposed rule would require the payment of the special assessment over eight quarterly assessment periods beginning the first quarter of 2024, subject to adjustments if the total amount collected is insufficient to cover the DIF’s costs. Each quarterly special assessment would be equal to 3.13 basis points (0.0313%) of the amount of an institution’s estimated uninsured deposits that exceeded $5 billion as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, WSFS Bank’s estimated amount of uninsured deposits was $6.9 billion.
Small Business Lending Data Collection Rule
On March 30, 2023, the CFPB finalized a rule under section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act requiring lenders to collect and report data regarding small business lending activity. The rule was scheduled to take effect on August 29, 2023, and requires compliance by October 1, 2024, April 1, 2025, or January 1, 2026, depending on the number of covered small business loans that a covered lender originates. On July 31, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas ordered the CFPB not to implement or enforce the rule against the plaintiff trade associations in Texas Bankers Ass'n, et al, v. CFPB, et al, No. 7:23-cv-00144, and their members, which include WSFS Bank. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new rule and related court rulings.
Transition from London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
LIBOR, a benchmark interest rate that was widely referenced in the past, is no longer published as of June 30, 2023. Financial market regulators had taken steps in previous years to prepare for the transition away from LIBOR and to encourage banks and other market participants to do the same. The United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) caused several LIBOR settings to cease publication after December 31, 2021 and the remaining settings to cease publication after June 30, 2023.
The Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act and implementing regulations of the Federal Reserve created a set of default rules for preexisting contracts that reference LIBOR, and created a safe harbor from liability for persons who elected to use the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the replacement rate in a contract that references LIBOR.
The Company’s commercial and consumer businesses used various products that were indexed to LIBOR. Most of these instruments gave the Company discretion to determine a replacement benchmark rate when LIBOR became unavailable.
This discretion combined with the LIBOR Act's safe harbor allowed the Company to select and migrate to SOFR as a replacement to LIBOR in the first quarter of 2022. Currently, the Company's new variable rate loan products are primarily originated in SOFR.

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. This repurchase program was completed during the first quarter of 2023. During the second quarter of 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an additional share repurchase authorization under the program of 6,358,727 shares of common stock, or 10% of its outstanding shares as of June 30, 2022.
