At December 31, 2025, WSFS’ gross loan and lease portfolio increased $299.6 million, or 2% (not annualized), when compared with September 30, 2025. The increase was driven by growth in C&I (4%), commercial mortgage (2%), residential mortgage (5%), and the WSFS-originated consumer loan portfolio (5%) which was offset by continued runoff of the Spring EQ loans.
Gross loans and leases at December 31, 2025 increased 1% when compared with December 31, 2024. Excluding the impacts from the sale of the Upstart portfolio and runoff of Spring EQ, gross loans and leases increased 3%, with growth in construction loans (23%), C&I (2%), residential mortgage (13%), and WSFS-originated consumer loans (16%). These increases were partially offset by a 3% decline in commercial mortgage.

Net Interest Income
| Three Months Ending |
|---|
| (Dollars in millions) | December 31, 2025 | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
| Net interest income before purchase accretion | $186.0 | $182.6 | $175.8 |
| Purchase accounting accretion | 1.4 | 1.4 | 2.4 |
| Net interest income | $187.4 | $184.0 | $178.2 |

| Purchase accounting accretion | 0.03 | 0.03 | 0.05 |
| Net interest margin | 3.83% | 3.91% | 3.80% |
Net interest income increased $3.3 million, or 2% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2025, primarily driven by lower deposit costs, higher cash balances from deposit growth, and loan growth.
Net interest income increased $9.1 million, or 5%, compared to 4Q 2024, driven by lower deposit costs as well as higher cash balances from growth in deposits. The increase was partially offset by lower loan yields and lower average loan balances driven by the Upstart loan sale and runoff of the Spring EQ portfolio.
Total loan yields were 6.40%, a decrease of 24bps when compared to 3Q 2025, driven by the impacts of rate cuts and a one-time prior-quarter interest recovery. Total client deposit costs were 1.45% and interest-bearing deposit costs were 2.17%, decreases of 17bps and 20bps, respectively, compared to the prior quarter, driven by deposit repricing actions.
Net interest margin of 3.83% decreased 8bps compared to 3Q 2025 primarily due to lower loan yields as described above. The decrease was partially offset by lower deposit costs, deposit mix, and loan growth. Net interest margin increased 3bps from 4Q 2024 due to lower deposit costs and higher cash balances, partially offset by lower loan balances and loan yields.

Asset Quality
| (Dollars in millions) | December 31, 2025 | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
| Problem assets | $535.9 | $629.7 | $645.0 |
| Delinquencies (n) | 168.4 | 104.7 | 121.8 |
| Nonperforming assets (n) | 72.1 | 72.6 | 127.4 |
| Net charge-offs on loans and leases | 15.2 | 9.9 | 10.2 |
| Total net credit costs (r) | 12.0 | 8.4 | 8.7 |
| Problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ACL on loans and leases | 21.98% | 26.64% | 26.21% |
| Classified assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ACL on loans and leases | 17.59 | 19.20 | 21.40 |
| Ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets (n) | 0.34 | 0.35 | 0.61 |
| Delinquencies (n) to gross loans (i) | 1.27 | 0.81 | 0.92 |
| Ratio of quarterly net charge-offs to average gross loans | 0.46 | 0.30 | 0.31 |
| Ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases (q) | 1.36 | 1.41 | 1.48 |
| Ratio of allowance for credit losses to nonaccruing loans (n) | 250 | 254 | 160 |
Problem assets decreased by $93.8 million (4.66% of Tier 1 capital plus ACL on loans and leases), primarily due to favorable net migration, and ended the year at the lowest level in over two years. Nonperforming assets were essentially flat compared to September 30, 2025 and down approximately 40% compared to December 31, 2024.
Delinquencies increased $63.7 million (46bps of gross loans) compared to September 30, 2025 due to several previously identified problem assets moving to delinquent status in the quarter. Approximately $19 million of this increase relates to nonperforming loans. The remaining increase is primarily driven by three CRE loans which are well-secured.
Net charge-offs increased $5.3 million to $15.2 million, or 46bps (annualized) of average gross loans during the quarter, primarily due to the partial charge-off of a nonperforming land development loan. Excluding Upstart, which was largely divested in 3Q 2025, net charge-offs for the year were 40bps of average gross loans.
Total net credit costs of $12.0 million increased $3.6 million compared to 3Q 2025 as provision increased primarily due to net loan growth.
The ACL on loans and leases was $179.6 million as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.6 million when compared to September 30, 2025, and the ACL coverage ratio decreased 5bps to 1.36%. These decreases were primarily due to the partial charge-off of a nonperforming loan as well as favorable payoffs and net migration.
Problem assets includes all criticized, classified, and nonperforming loans as well as other real estate owned (OREO).

Core Fee Revenue
Core fee revenue (noninterest income) of $90.1 million increased $2.1 million, or 2% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2025. The increase was driven by broad-based growth of 9% across Wealth and Trust in WSFS Institutional Services®, Private Wealth Management, and the Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware (BMT of DE). The increase was partially offset by a decline in Cash Connect®, driven by lower volume and rates (which was more than offset in noninterest expense).
Core fee revenue increased $6.9 million, or 8%, compared to 4Q 2024. The increase is driven by double-digit growth across Wealth and Trust, Capital Markets, and WSFS Home Lending. These increases were partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in Cash Connect®, primarily due to lower volume and interest rates. For the full year 2025, Wealth and Trust delivered 16% year-over-year growth, with 35% in WSFS Institutional Services® and 19% in BMT of DE.
For 4Q 2025, our core fee revenue ratio was 32.4% compared to 32.3% in 3Q 2025 and 31.8% in 4Q 2024. Fee revenue diversification is a differentiator with further growth opportunities expected.
As used in this press release, core fee revenue and core fee revenue ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of the press release.

Core Noninterest Expense
Core noninterest expense of $160.9 million decreased $1.2 million, or 1% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2025. The decrease is primarily due to lower commitment reserves and timing-related loan workout costs as well as a decrease in Cash Connect® external funding costs due to lower rates and lower ATM volume. The decrease was partially offset by higher salaries and benefits, driven by higher performance-based incentive accruals.
Core noninterest expense decreased $6.1 million, or 4%, compared to 4Q 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $4.8 million decline in Cash Connect® external funding costs due to lower volume and rates as well as $1.9 million of one-time expenses associated with a client termination in 4Q 2024.
Excluding the Cash Connect® impacts, core noninterest expense increased $0.6 million, or less than 1%, compared to 4Q 2024, primarily due to higher salaries and benefits, mainly as a result of talent additions in key business areas and performance-based increases. The increase was partially offset by lower professional fees.
Our core efficiency ratio was 57.9% in 4Q 2025, compared to 59.5% in 3Q 2025 and 63.8% in 4Q 2024, reflecting our focus on expense discipline while continuing to invest in the franchise.
Income Taxes
We recorded a $24.5 million income tax provision in 4Q 2025, compared to $24.4 million in 3Q 2025 and $20.2 million in 4Q 2024. The increase compared to 4Q 2024 was primarily due to higher income before taxes and certain tax credits recognized in 2024.
The effective tax rate was 25.2% in 4Q 2025 compared to 24.2% in 3Q 2025 and 23.9% in 4Q 2024. The increase in effective tax rate compared to 3Q 2025 is primarily due to higher nondeductible expenses and higher state taxes. The increase in effective tax rate compared to 4Q 2024 is attributable to lower tax credits in 2025.
As used in this press release, core noninterest expense and core efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of the press release.

WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity decreased $14.7 million, or 1% (not annualized), during 4Q 2025. The decrease was primarily due to capital returns to stockholders of $118.5 million (comprised of $109.3 million from share repurchases and $9.2 million from quarterly dividends), partially offset by quarterly earnings of $72.7 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $29.1 million, driven by market-value increases on available-for-sale investment securities.
WSFS’ tangible common equity decreased $11.0 million, or 1% (not annualized), compared to September 30, 2025, primarily due to the reasons described above. WSFS’ common equity to assets ratio decreased 36bps to 12.85% during the quarter, and our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratiowas 8.69% at December 31, 2025, a decrease of 27bps, compared to the prior quarter.

Book value per share increased $7.12, or 16%, and tangible book value per share increased $5.81, or 21%, compared to 4Q 2024.
During 4Q 2025, WSFS repurchased 2,029,468 shares of common stock for an aggregate of $109.3 million.

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude goodwill and intangible assets and the related tax-effected amortization.

AUM/AUA increased to $97.4 billion at the end of 4Q 2025, representing growth of 4% quarter-over-quarter and 9% year-over-year, driven by Client and account growth as well as market appreciation.
Includes intercompany allocation of revenue and expense.

Selected quarterly financial results and metrics are as follows:
| (Dollars in millions) | December 31, 2025 | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
| Net revenue | $20.7 | $22.0 | $21.8 |
| Noninterest expense | 18.1 | 19.6 | 25.2 |
| Pre-tax income | 2.6 | 2.3 | (3.4) |
| Performance Metrics | | | |
| Average cash managed | $1,292 | $1,386 | $1,585 |
| Number of serviced non-bank ATMs and smart safes | 35,958 | 36,511 | 38,574 |
| Number of WSFS owned and branded ATMs | 488 | 524 | 567 |
| Net profit margin | 12.70% | 10.64% | (15.40)% |
| ROA | 2.11% | 1.67% | (2.63)% |
Cash Connect® net profit margin increased 206bps to 12.70% compared to 3Q 2025. When excluding the impacts from a nonrecurring client termination in 4Q 2024, net profit margin increased 720bps year-over-year.
Pre-tax income of $2.6 million in 4Q 2025 increased $0.3 million, or 12% (not annualized), compared to 3Q 2025, driven by lower cost of non-earning cash. Net revenue decreased $1.3 million and noninterest expense decreased $1.6 million compared to 3Q 2025, both driven by lower volume and interest rates.
Excluding the previously mentioned client termination in 4Q 2024, pre-tax income increased $1.3 million, net revenue decreased by $3.9 million, and noninterest expense decreased $5.2 million year-over-year. The increase in pretax income was driven by the impact of interest rates (lower revenues were more than offset by lower expenses), pricing initiatives (increased revenues), and expense optimization. These impacts were partially offset by lower ATM and managed services volume, which also resulted in lower revenues and noninterest expense.
Includes intercompany allocation of income and net interest income.
Includes intercompany allocation of expense.
As used in this press release, adjusted net profit margin, adjusted pre-tax income, adjusted net revenue, and adjusted noninterest expense are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures exclude the impact of a nonrecurring client termination in 4Q 2024. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of the press release.
