Current Operational Overview
As of March 31, 2025, WSFS Financial Corporation reported total assets of $20.5 billion and $89.6 billion in assets under management. The corporation operates 115 offices, which include 88 banking locations primarily located in the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware regions, as well as locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida, Nevada, and Virginia.
Loan Growth and Financial Performance
In the first quarter of 2025, WSFS achieved gross loans of $13.16 billion, with a promising year-over-year increase in construction loans by $36.6 million and commercial and industrial loans by $162.3 million. Total client deposits were recorded at $16.88 billion, leading to a loan-to-deposit ratio of 77%, which reflects the bank’s prudent approach to balance sheet management.
The bank’s net interest income (NII) for Q1 2025 was $175.2 million, a slight decrease from the previous quarter, while the net interest margin (NIM) improved to 3.88% due to reduced deposit costs. Additionally, total net revenue reached $256.1 million, although this reflected some volatility in fees and slower loan growth compared to previous quarters.
Asset Management and Fee Revenue
WSFS’s wealth management services also saw an uptick, with assets under management increasing from $89.4 billion to $89.6 billion from late 2024 to March 2025. Fee revenue derived from these services grew by 6% year-over-year, amounting to $80.9 million in Q1 2025, signaling a strong performance in this sector.
Strategic Decisions and Future Projections
In line with its strategic efforts towards revenue diversification, the bank is leveraging its subsidiaries, including Bryn Mawr Trust® for wealth management, WSFS Mortgage®, Arrow Land Transfer, and WSFS Wealth® Investments. However, changes in the portfolio were marked by the sale of a majority of its unsecured consumer lending portfolio, which stood at $98.1 million as of May 31, 2025, and is expected to record a net charge-off of approximately $4.3 million.
For the full year of 2025, WSFS forecasts an earnings per share (EPS) growth of 2.9%, estimated at $4.40, which is a shift from the previously projected 9.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
Recent Management Changes
