NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of WSFS Financial Corporation (“the Company”, “our Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“WSFS Bank” or the “Bank”) and Montchanin Capital Management, Inc. (“Montchanin”). We also have one unconsolidated affiliate, WSFS Capital Trust III (“the Trust”). WSFS Bank has two fully-owned subsidiaries, WSFS Investment Group, Inc. (“WIG”) and Monarch Entity Services LLC (“Monarch”) and Montchanin has one wholly owned subsidiary, Cypress Capital Management, LLC (“Cypress”).

Founded in 1832, the Bank is one of the ten oldest banks continuously operating under the same name in the United States. We provide residential and commercial real estate, commercial and consumer lending services, as well as retail deposit and cash management services. In addition, we offer a variety of wealth management and trust services to personal and corporate customers through our Trust and Wealth Management division. Lending activities are funded primarily with customer deposits and borrowings. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures our customers’ deposits to their legal maximums. We serve our customers primarily from our 51 offices located in Delaware (42), Pennsylvania (7), Virginia (1) and Nevada (1) and through our website at www.wsfsbank.com.

Amounts subject to significant estimates are items such as the allowance for loan losses and reserves for lending related commitments, goodwill, intangible assets, post-retirement benefit obligations, the fair value of financial instruments and other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”). Among other effects, changes to such estimates could result in future reserves for impairments of investment securities, goodwill and intangible assets and increases of allowances for loan losses and lending related commitments as well as increased post-retirement benefits expense.

Our accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X does not require us to include all information and notes for complete financial statements and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC.

Whenever necessary, reclassifications have been made to prior period Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. All significant intercompany transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

(1) Reverse mortgages do not have contractual maturities. We have included reverse mortgages in maturities within one year.

The portfolio of available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) includes 164 securities with an amortized cost of $828.2 million comprised of all GSE securities. All securities were AAA-rated at the time of purchase. All securities were re-evaluated for OTTI at September 30, 2012. The result of this evaluation showed no OTTI for the third quarter of 2012.

At September 30, 2012, investment securities with market values aggregating $431.2 million were pledged as collateral for retail customer repurchase agreements, municipal deposits, and other obligations. From time to time, investment securities are also pledged as collateral for FHLB borrowings. There were no FHLB pledged investment securities at September 30, 2012.

During the first nine months of 2012, we sold $616.3 million of investment securities categorized as available-for-sale for net gains of $17.7 million. In the first nine months of 2011, proceeds from the sale of investment securities available-for-sale were $216.1 million and resulted in net gains of $3.0 million. A portion of these sales during 2012 were the result of the completion of the Asset Strategies undertaken during the second quarter and were mainly due to maintaining the capital and earnings neutrality of these efforts. These and additional sales were completed as part of our ongoing portfolio management aimed at minimizing credit risk and decreasing prepayment/premium risk due to faster prepayments caused by declining mortgage interest rates in this historically-low rate environment. Lastly, the sales during the third quarter of 2012 were also aimed at limiting extension risk, which decreased the weighted average duration of the MBS portfolio to 4.2 years at September 30, 2012, from 4.5 years at June 30, 2012. The cost basis of all investment securities sales are based on the specific identification method.

As of September 30, 2012, our investment securities portfolio had remaining unamortized premiums of $22.6 million. In addition, at September 30, 2012 we had $216,000 of unaccreted discounts related to our investment securities portfolio.

MBS have expected maturities that differ from their contractual maturities. These differences arise because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without a prepayment penalty.

At September 30, 2012, we owned investment securities totaling $17.1 million in which the amortized cost basis exceeded fair value. Total unrealized losses on those securities were $189,000 at September 30, 2012. The temporary impairment is the result of changes in market interest rates subsequent to the purchase of the securities. Our investment portfolio is reviewed each quarter for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. We evaluate our intent and ability to hold securities based upon our investment strategy for the particular type of security and our cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. In addition, we do not have the intent to sell, nor is it more likely-than-not we will be required to sell these securities before we are able to recover the amortized cost basis.

For these investment securities with unrealized losses, the table below shows our gross unrealized losses and fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2012.

We own $12.5 million par value of SASCO RM-1 2002 class B securities which are classified as trading, of which, $1.5 million is interest paid in kind. We expect to recover all principal and interest due to seasoning and excess collateral. Based on FASB ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320”) when these securities were acquired they were classified as trading because it was our intent to sell them in the near term. We use the guidance under ASC 320 to provide a reasonable estimate of fair value. We estimated the value of these securities based on the pricing of BBB+ securities that have an active market through a technique which estimates the fair value of this asset using the income approach as of September 30, 2012.

During 2011, we purchased 100% of SASCO 2002-RM1 Class O certificates for $2.5 million. As of September 30, 2012, the market value of the SASCO 2002-RM1 O securities was determined in accordance with FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), to be $6.1 million. These securities have been included in our CMO portfolio since their purchase.

4. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY INFORMATION

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses and charge losses to this allowance when such losses are realized. The determination of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment reflecting our best estimate of impairment related to specifically identified impaired loans as well as probable loan losses in the remaining loan portfolio. Our evaluation is based upon a continuing review of these portfolios.

We established our loan loss allowance in accordance with guidance provided in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 102 (“SAB 102”). Its methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements which include: specific allowances for identified problem loans; formula allowances for commercial and commercial real estate loans; and allowances for pooled homogenous loans.

Specific reserves are established for certain impaired loans in cases where we have identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a specific credit that indicates a loss is probable to occur.

The formula allowances for commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans are calculated by applying estimates of default and loss severity to outstanding loans based on the risk grade of loans. Default rates are determined through a past twelve quarter migration analysis. Loss severity is based on a three year historical analysis. As a result, changes in risk grades affect the amount of the formula allowance.

Table of Contents

Pooled loans are usually smaller, not-individually-graded and homogenous in nature, such as consumer installment loans and residential mortgages. Loan loss allowances for pooled loans are first based on a five-year net charge-off history. The average loss allowance per homogenous pool is based on the product of average annual historical loss rate and the homogeneous pool balances. These separate risk pools are then assigned a reserve for losses based upon this historical loss information.

Qualitative and environmental adjustment factors are taken into consideration when determining the above reserve estimates. These adjustment factors are based upon our evaluation of various current conditions, including those listed below.

 

 

General economic and business conditions affecting the Bank’s key lending areas,

 

 

Credit quality trends,

 

 

Recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio,

 

 

Collateral values and loan-to-value ratios,

 

 

Loan volumes and concentrations, including changes in mix,

 

 

Seasoning of the loan portfolio,

 

 

Specific industry conditions within portfolio segments,

 

 

Bank regulatory examination results, and

 

 

Other factors, including changes in quality of the loan origination, servicing and risk management processes.

Our loan officers and risk managers meet at least quarterly to discuss and review these conditions and risks associated with individual problem loans. In addition, various regulatory agencies and loan review consultants periodically review our loan ratings and allowance for loan losses.

During the first quarter of 2012, we made certain improvements to the method in which we determine the allowance for loan loss. These improvements include:

 

 

Used a three year loss migration analysis to determine the probability of default

 

 

Segregated the commercial loan segment to more specifically analyze the risks associated with business, owner-occupied CRE, investor CRE and Construction loan portfolios

 

 

Improved the data used to determine qualitative adjustment factors

 

 

Established a portion of the allowance for loan losses related to model and complexity risk

 

 

Revised our loan risk rating system based on recommendations from industry experts

Credit Quality Indicators

Below is a description of each of our risk ratings for all commercial loans:

Pass. These borrowers presently show no current or potential problems and their loans are considered fully collectible.

Special Mention. Borrowers have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. Borrowers in this category may be experiencing adverse operating trends, e.g.: 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. 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. The distinct possibility exists that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Borrowers have well-defined weaknesses inherent in the Substandard category with 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. A doubtful asset has some pending event that may strengthen the asset that defers the loss classification. Such impending events include: perfecting liens on additional collateral, obtaining collateral valuations, an acquisition or liquidation preceding, proposed merger, or refinancing plan.

Loss. Borrowers are uncollectible or of such negligible value that continuance as a bankable asset is not supportable. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical to defer writing off this asset even though partial recovery may be recognized sometime in the future.

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 in nonaccrual status.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDR)

The book balance of TDRs at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $22.3 million and $27.7 million, respectively. The balances at September 30, 2012 include approximately $12.1 million in nonaccrual status and $10.2 million in accrual status compared to $18.8 million in nonaccrual status and $8.9 million of in accrual status at December 31, 2011. Approximately $1.2 million and $1.3 million in specific reserves have been established for these loans as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

During the nine months ending September 30, 2012, the terms of 104 loans were either modified or identified as troubled debt restructurings, of which 15 were related to commercial loans that were already placed on nonaccrual. Nonaccruing restructured loans remain in nonaccrual status until there has been a period of sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, usually six months. The remaining 89 loans represented residential and consumer loans. Our concessions on restructured loans consisted mainly of forbearance agreements, reduction in interest rates or extensions of maturities. Principal balances are generally not forgiven by us when a loan is modified as a TDR.

The following table presents loans identified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012:

The TDRs described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $357,000 through allocation of a specific reserve, and resulted in charge offs of $8.1 million during the nine months ending September 30, 2012.

There was one residential TDR in the amount of $84,000 which defaulted (defined as past due 90 days) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 that was restructured within the last twelve months prior to September 30, 2012.

5. TAXES ON INCOME

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) (Formerly SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty In Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109). ASC 740 requires the recording of deferred income taxes that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We exercise significant judgment in the evaluation of the amount and timing of the recognition of the resulting tax assets and liabilities. The judgments and estimates required for the evaluation are updated based upon changes in business factors and the tax laws. If actual results differ from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating the amount and timing of tax recognized, there can be no assurance that additional expenses will not be required in future periods. No valuation allowance has been recorded on our deferred tax assets due to our history of prior earnings along with our expectations of future income. ASC 740 prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. We recognize, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the financial statements. Assessment of uncertain tax positions under ASC 740 requires careful consideration of the technical merits of a position based on our analysis of tax regulations and interpretations.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $3,000 and $88,000, respectively, all of which would affect our September 30, 2012 effective tax rate if recognized. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the total amount of accrued interest included in such unrecognized tax benefits were $3,000 and $15,000, respectively. Penalties of $6,000 were included in such unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2011, but none are included at September 30, 2012. We record interest and penalties on potential income tax deficiencies as income tax expense. Our Federal and state tax returns for the 2009 through 2011 tax years are subject to examination as of September 30, 2012. We were recently notified of the IRS intention to audit our 2010 tax return. There are currently no other income tax audits in process.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Under the definition of FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) (Formerly SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information) we discuss our business in three segments. There is one segment for each of WSFS Bank, Cash Connect, (the ATM division of WSFS Bank), and Trust and Wealth Management. Trust and Wealth Management was reorganized during 2011 and is comprised of Montchanin, Christiana Trust, Monarch Entity Services LLC, Private Banking and WSFS Investment Group, Inc. in a single reportable segment because each has similar economic characteristics, products, customers and distribution methods. As required by ASC 280, all prior years’ information has been updated to reflect this presentation.

The WSFS Bank segment provides financial products to commercial and retail customers through its 51 offices located in Delaware (42), Pennsylvania (7) and Virginia (1) and Nevada (1). Retail and Commercial Banking, Commercial Real Estate Lending and other banking business units are operating departments of WSFS. These departments share the same regulator, the same market, many of the same customers and provide similar products and services through the general infrastructure of the Bank. Because of these and other reasons, these departments are not considered discrete segments and are appropriately aggregated within the WSFS Bank segment in accordance with ASC 280.

Cash Connect provides turnkey ATM services through strategic partnerships with several of the largest networks, manufacturers and service providers in the ATM industry. 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 Trust and Wealth Management segment is comprised of Christiana Trust, Monarch Entity Services LLC, Montchanin, Private Banking and WSFS Investment Group, Inc. Christiana Trust was acquired in December 2010 and WSFS’ Trust and Wealth Management business was consolidated into Christiana Trust. Christiana Trust provides investment, fiduciary, and agency services from locations in Delaware and Nevada. These services are provided to individuals and families as well as corporations and institutions. Monarch Entity Services LLC provides commercial domicile services from locations in Delaware and Nevada. Montchanin has one consolidated wholly owned subsidiary, Cypress Capital Management, LLC (Cypress). Cypress is a Wilmington-based investment advisory firm serving high net-worth individuals and institutions. WSFS Investment Group, Inc. markets various third-party insurance products and securities and Private Banking specializes in meeting the needs of professionals and their practices, including deposit services and credit needs of existing and start-up practices.

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. We evaluate performance based on pretax ordinary income relative to resources used, and allocate resources based on these results. The accounting policies applicable to our segments are those that apply to our preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 follows:

7. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

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.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

The table below presents the balances of assets measured at fair value as of September 30, 2012 (there are no material liabilities measured at fair value):

Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon 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. Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While we believe our 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. As of September 30, 2012, securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value using both Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. Included in the Level 2 total are approximately $51.0 million in Federal Agency debentures, $850.4 million in Federal Agency MBS, and $3.1 million in municipal bonds. Agency and MBS securities are predominately AAA-rated. We believe this Level 2 designation is appropriate for these securities under ASC 820-10 as, with almost all fixed income securities, none are exchange traded, and all are priced by correlation to observed market data. For these securities we obtain 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.

Included in the Level 3 total is a small equity traunche of a reverse mortgage security purchased on July 15, 2011. This security is Level 3 because there is no active market for this security and no observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets in active markets (Level 1) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset through corroboration with observable market data (Level 2). In order to establish the fair value for a Level 3 asset a “mark-to-model” has been developed using the income approach described in ASC 820-10-35-32 and is similar to the methodology used to value our trading securities described below.

The amount of our investment in reverse mortgages represents the estimated value of future cash flows of the reverse mortgages at a rate deemed appropriate for these mortgages, based on the market rate for similar collateral. The projected cash flows depend on assumptions about life expectancy of the mortgagor and the future changes in collateral values. Due to the significant amount of management judgment and the unobservable input calculations, these reverse mortgages have been classified as Level 3.

Trading securities. The amount included in the trading securities category represents the fair value of a BBB-rated traunche of a reverse mortgage security. There has never been an active market for these securities. As such, we classify these trading securities as Level 3 under ASC 820-10. As prescribed by ASC 820-10 management used various observable and unobservable inputs to develop a range of likely fair value prices where this security would be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The unobservable inputs reflect assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing this asset. Included in these inputs were the median of a selection of other BBB-rated securities as well as quoted market prices from higher rated traunches of this asset class. The unobservable inputs consist of prepayments, house price appreciation and interest rates. We have completed a sensitivity analysis at September 30, 2012, which showed any increase or decrease in these inputs would not have a significant impact on the fair value of these assets. As a result, the value assigned to this security is determined primarily through a discounted cash flow analysis. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management judgment.

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 as held for sale at the lower of the loan balance or 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 our real estate owned was estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals obtained from third parties.

Impaired loans. We evaluate and value impaired loans at the time the loan is identified as impaired, and the fair values of such loans are estimated using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The collateral for each loan has a unique appraisal and our discount of the value is based on the factors unique to each impaired loan. The significant unobservable input in determining the fair value is our subjective discount on appraisals of the collateral securing the loan, which range from 10% - 50%. Collateral may consist of real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The value of these assets is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by us. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on our historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, estimated costs to sell, and/or our expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a net amount of $47.3 million and $75.3 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The valuation allowance on impaired loans was $2.9 million as of September 30, 2012 and $4.7 million as of December 31, 2011.

Due to the continuing weakness in the real estate market, we now utilize a more significant level of unobservable inputs and, as such, have reclassified the hierarchical levels of both Other Real Estate Owned and Impaired Loans to Level 3 as of March 31, 2012.

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, 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 and Short-Term Investments: For cash and short-term investments, including due from banks, federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell and interest-bearing deposits with other banks, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Since quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted prices for similar securities, which we obtain from a third party vendor. We utilize one of the largest providers of securities pricing to the industry and we periodically assesses the inputs used by this vendor to price the various types of securities owned by us to validate the vendor’s methodology. The fair value of our investment in reverse mortgages is based on the net present value of estimated cash flows, which have been updated to reflect recent external appraisals of the underlying collateral. For additional discussion of our mortgage-backed securities-trading or our internally developed models, see Fair Value of Financial Assets, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type: commercial, commercial mortgages, construction, residential mortgages and consumer. For loans that reprice frequently, book value approximates fair value. The fair values of other types of loans 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 value of nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals of the underlying collateral. Estimated cash flows, discounted using a rate commensurate with current rates and the risk associated with the estimated cash flows, are utilized if appraisals are not available. This technique does not contemplate an exit price.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance: The estimated fair value approximates the book value for this investment.

Stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh: The fair value of FHLB stock is assumed to be equal to its cost. We carry FHLB stock at cost, or par value, and evaluate FHLB stock for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. As part of the impairment assessment of FHLB stock, management considers, among other things, (i) the significance and length of time of any declines in net assets of the FHLB compared to its capital stock, (ii) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulations and the level of such payments in relation to its operating performance and (iii) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on FHLB. The FHLB has access to the U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprise Credit Facility, a secured lending facility that serves as a liquidity backstop, substantially reducing the likelihood that the FHLB would need to sell securities to raise liquidity and, thereby, cause the realization of large economic losses. On August 8, 2011, Standard & Poors (“S&P”) downgraded the FHLB from AAA to AA+, similar to their downgrade of the U.S. sovereign rating. The reduction in the FHLB credit rating was due to the belief, by S&P, that the FHLB system is certain to receive U.S. government support, if necessary, resulting from the important role the FHLB system plays as primary liquidity providers to U.S. mortgage and housing-market participants. Despite the downgrade, the FHLB continues to have a very high degree of government support and was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements as of September 30, 2012. As a result, we have determined there was no OTTI related to our FHLB stock investment as of September 30, 2012.

Demand Deposits, Savings Deposits and Time Deposits: The fair value of demand deposits and savings deposits is determined by projecting future cash flows using an estimated economic life based on account characteristics. The resulting cash flow is discounted using rates available on alternative funding sources. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using the rate and maturity characteristics of the deposits to estimate their cash flow. The cash flow is discounted at rates for similar term wholesale funding.

Borrowed Funds: Rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments: The fair value of off-balance sheet instruments, including commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with comparable remaining terms and reflects the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.

The book value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments are as follows:

8. INDEMNIFICATIONS AND GUARANTEES

Secondary Market Loan Sales. We generally do not sell loans with recourse except to the extent arising from standard loan sale contract provisions covering violations of representations and warranties and, under certain circumstances first payment defaults by borrowers. These are customary repurchase provisions in the secondary market for conforming mortgage loan sales. These indemnifications may include our repurchase of the loans. Repurchases and losses are rare, and no provision is made for the losses at the time of sale. During the third quarter of 2012, we had no repurchases under these indemnifications.

We typically sell fixed-rate, conforming first mortgage loans (including reverse mortgages) in the secondary market as part of our ongoing asset/liability management program. Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or market of the aggregate, or in some cases, individual loans. Gains and losses on sales of loans are recognized at the date of the sale.

Swap Guarantees. We entered into agreements with three unrelated financial institutions whereby those financial institutions entered into interest rate derivative contracts (interest rate swap transactions) with customers referred to them by us. By the terms of the agreements, those financial institutions have recourse to us for any exposure created under each swap transaction in the event 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 smaller financial institutions like us to provide access to interest rate swap transactions for our customers without creating the swap ourselves.

At September 30, 2012 there were 91 variable-rate swap transactions between the third party financial institutions and our customers, compared to 79 at December 31, 2011. The initial notional amount aggregated approximately $379.1 million at September 30, 2012 compared with $318.1 million at December 31, 2011. At September 30, 2012 maturities ranged from approximately 1 month to 13 years. The aggregate market value of these swaps to the customers was a liability of $41.1 million at September 30, 2012 and $32.8 million at December 31, 2011.

9. ASSOCIATE (EMPLOYEE) BENEFIT PLANS

Postretirement Benefits

We share certain costs of providing health and life insurance benefits to retired Associates (and their eligible dependents). Substantially all Associates may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal retirement age while working for us.

We account for our obligations under the provisions of FASB ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (“ASC 715”) (Formerly SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions). ASC 715 requires that the costs of these benefits be recognized over an Associate’s active working career. Disclosures are in accordance with ASC 715.

The following disclosures of the net periodic benefit cost components of postretirement benefits were measured at January 1, 2012 and 2011:

10. STOCK AND COMMON STOCK WARRANTS

In August 2010, we completed an underwritten public offering of 1,370,000 shares of common stock. The offering was priced at $36.50 per share, a slight premium to the prior day’s closing price, and raised $47.1 million net of $2.9 million of costs.

On September 24, 2009 we completed a private placement of stock to Peninsula Investment Partners, L.P. (Peninsula), pursuant to which we issued and sold 862,069 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $25.0 million, and a 10-year warrant to purchase 129,310 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $29.00 per share. The warrant is immediately exercisable. During 2011 all shares were distributed on a pro-rata basis to the fund holders of Peninsula with the warrants being transferred to Peninsula’s managing partner.

Total proceeds of $25.0 million were allocated, based on the relative fair value of common stock and common stock warrants, to common stock for $23.5 million and common stock warrants for $1.5 million on September 24, 2009.

On January 23, 2009, we entered into a purchase agreement with the U.S. Treasury (“Treasury”) pursuant to which we issued and sold 52,625 shares of our fixed-rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock for a total purchase price of $52.6 million, and a 10-year warrant to purchase 175,105 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $45.08 per share. On March 28, 2012, the Treasury held a public auction where it sold all 52,625 shares, which represented the Treasury’s entire preferred stock holding in WSFS. Under the terms of the agreement, WSFS will continue to pay a five percent dividend annually for each of the first five years of the investment and a nine percent dividend thereafter until the shares are redeemed. The cumulative dividend for the preferred stock is accrued for and payable on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year. We have declared and paid $2.0 million of cash dividends on the preferred stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Total proceeds of $52.6 million were allocated, based on the relative fair value of the preferred stock and common stock warrants, to preferred stock for $51.9 million and common stock warrants for $693,000 respectively, on January 23, 2009. The preferred stock discount is being accreted, on an effective yield method, over five years. We have accreted $104,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012 there was approximately $185,000 of discount on preferred stock remaining.

On September 12, 2012 we entered into a letter agreement with the U.S. Treasury pursuant to which the Company repurchased the warrant for $1.8 million.

11. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES

In accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and other intangibles are recorded at fair value. We consider our accounting policies related to goodwill and other intangible assets to be critical because the assumptions and judgment used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in past acquisitions are subjective and complex. As a result, changes in these assumptions and judgment could have a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

The fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, including the resulting goodwill, was based either on quoted market prices or provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information was not available we made good-faith estimates primarily through the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques. The assumptions used in the cash flow modeling are subjective and susceptible to significant changes.

Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually and charged to results of operations in periods in which the recorded value is more than the estimated fair value. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives and are periodically evaluated for impairment. Goodwill totaled $28.1 million at both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The majority of our goodwill, or $23.0 million, is in the WSFS Bank reporting unit and is the result of a branch acquisition in 2008 and the acquisition of Christiana Bank & Trust (“CB&T”) during 2010. The remaining $5.1 million is in the Trust and Wealth Management reporting unit and is mainly the result of the acquisition of CB&T.

When required, the goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first test is done by comparing the reporting unit’s aggregate fair value to its carrying value. Absent other indicators of impairment, if the aggregate fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit were to exceed the aggregate fair value, a second test would be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. To measure any impairment loss, the implied fair value would be determined in the same manner as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill an impairment charge would be recorded for the difference.

During 2011, ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), was issued. Under the Update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Therefore, before the first step of the existing guidance, the entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that the fair value of goodwill is less than carrying value. The qualitative assessment includes adverse events or circumstances identified that could negatively affect the reporting units’ fair value as well as positive and mitigating events. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step process is unnecessary. The entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment step for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the first step of the existing two-step process. The entity can resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. We adopted the Update for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Based on the results of the annual impairment test it was determined that no goodwill impairment charges were required for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our next annual impairment test will be conducted during the quarter ending December 31, 2012. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we determined no triggering events had occurred and, therefore, did not conduct an interim impairment test of goodwill. Even though there was no goodwill impairment at September 30, 2012, declines in the value of our stock price or additional adverse changes in the operating environment of the financial services industry may result in a future impairment charge.

FASB ASC 350, also requires that an acquired intangible asset be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer’s intent to do so.

12. LEGAL AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS

In September 2012, we received a “30-day letter” from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) on behalf of a trust for which the Bank (as successor to Christiana Bank & Trust (“CB&T”)) serves as trustee. A “30 day letter” is a notice sent by the IRS to a taxpayer giving the taxpayer thirty days to appeal IRS findings. The IRS letter received by the Bank informed the trust of a proposed adjustment to an income tax return filed in 2007 for the 2006 tax year, a period prior to the Bank’s acquisition of CB&T. The IRS has agreed to extend the time that the trust has to respond to the IRS letter to November 30, 2012. The letter informs the trust of a proposed adjustment in income tax of $8.0 million plus interest and penalties in the range of $6.0 million to $10.0 million. We understand the IRS has submitted a similar letter to the grantor of the trust. To date, the IRS has not made any claim against the Bank.

Since receiving this letter the Bank has been working with the IRS and our counsel to understand the circumstances relating to the proposed adjustment, interest and penalties and the context in which the transactions relating to the proposed adjustment occurred. We believe the Bank acted properly in its role as trustee. Further, based on the facts currently known to us, we believe any dispute or settlement is between the IRS and the grantor and we believe that if the IRS were to assert a claim against the Bank, the claim would have no merit. The trust intends to communicate this position to the IRS in its response.

There were no material changes or additions to other significant pending legal or other proceedings involving us other than those arising out of routine operations. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of such other proceedings will have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on the Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements 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 loan losses, deferred taxes, fair value measurements, 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 assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although our current estimates contemplate current economic conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, for the remainder of 2012, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions may be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The following are critical accounting policies that involve more significant judgments and estimates. See further discussion of these critical accounting policies in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain allowances for loan losses and charge losses to these allowances when realized. We consider the determination of the allowance for loan losses to be critical because it requires significant judgment reflecting our best estimate of impairment related to specifically evaluated impaired loans as well as the inherent risk of loss for those in the remaining loan portfolio. Our evaluation is based upon a continuing review of the portfolio, with consideration given to evaluations resulting from examinations performed by regulatory authorities.

Deferred Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires the recording of deferred income taxes that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. We consider our accounting policies on deferred taxes to be critical because we regularly assess the need for valuation allowances on deferred income tax assets that may result from, among other things, limitations imposed by Internal Revenue Code and uncertainties, including the timing of settlement and realization of these differences. No valuation allowance is required as of September 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

Fair Value Measurements

We adopted FASB ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We consider our accounting policies related to fair value measurements to be critical because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require our subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. See Note 7, Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Assets to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and other intangibles are recorded at fair value. We consider our accounting policies related to goodwill and other intangible assets to be critical because the assumptions or judgment used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in past acquisitions are subjective and complex. As a result, changes in these assumptions or judgment could have a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

For additional information regarding our goodwill and other intangible assets, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Financial Condition

Our total assets decreased $27.7 million, or less than 1%, to $4.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Included in this decrease was a $46.4 million, or 2%, decrease in net loans resulting from our second quarter 2012 Asset Strategies efforts, and a $20.9 million, or 4%, decrease in cash and cash equivalents mainly due to the seasonal decrease in cash in non-owned ATMs and the use of cash from other institutions in Cash Connect’s ATM Vault Cash business. Partially offsetting these decreases, investment securities increased $50.7 million, or 6%, and loans held-for-sale increased by $10.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Total liabilities decreased $53.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $3.8 billion. This decrease was primarily the result of decreased Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $145.8 million, or 27%, as a result of net repayments. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $50.0 million increase in federal funds purchased and a $50.1 million increase in total customer deposits. Deposit growth included a $70.8 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand accounts, a $23.5 million increase in interest bearing demand accounts and a $20.5 million increase in savings accounts. These core deposit account increases were partially offset the purposeful decreases of $58.3 million in high-cost, non-core customer time accounts and a $25.6 million decrease in brokered CDs.

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity increased $25.7 million between December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012. This increase was mainly due to net income of $23.8 million combined with an increase of $6.1 million in the value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio. Partially offsetting these increases was the payment of common and preferred dividends of $5.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Book value per common share was $47.84 at September 30, 2012 an increase of $2.65 from $45.19 reported at December 31, 2011. Tangible common book value per common share (a non-GAAP measurement) was $37.99 at September 30, 2012, an increase of $2.79, or 8% from $35.20 reported at December 31, 2011.

Under guidelines issued by banking regulators, savings institutions such as the Bank must maintain certain capital levels in order to be considered adequately capitalized. The thresholds for being considered adequately capitalized are outlined in the table above. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our bank’s financial statements.

At September 30, 2012, the Bank was in compliance with regulatory capital requirements and was considered a “well-capitalized” institution. The Bank’s core capital ratio of 9.91%, Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.02% and total risk based capital ratio of 14.28%, all remain substantially in excess of “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmarks, the highest regulatory capital rating. In addition, and not included in Bank capital, the holding company held $61.2 million in cash to support dividends, acquisitions, strategic growth plans.

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.

As a financial institution, the Bank has ready access to several sources to fund growth and meet its liquidity needs. Among these are: net income, retail deposit generation, loan repayments, borrowing from the FHLB, 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 and government sponsored enterprises (“GSE”) notes 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. Management believes these sources are sufficient to maintain required and prudent levels of liquidity.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash and cash equivalents decreased $20.9 million to $447.1 million. This decrease was primarily a result of the following: cash used for $145.8 million for net repayments of FHLB advances; $38.2 million increase in net loans; $28.3 million net increase in investment securities available for sale and a $30.0 million repayment of unsecured bank debt. Offsetting these decreases in cash were: $63.3 million increase in cash provided by operating activities; $53.1 million increase from the issuance of senior notes during the third quarter of 2012; $50.0 million increase in cash provided through an increase in federal funds purchased; $42.1 million net increase in deposits and $11.8 million increase from the sales of assets acquired through foreclosure.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

The following table shows our nonperforming assets and past due loans at the dates indicated. Nonperforming assets include nonaccruing loans, nonperforming real estate, assets acquired through foreclosure and restructured mortgage and home equity consumer debt. Nonaccruing loans are those on which the accrual of interest has ceased. 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 loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but which remain on accrual status because they are considered well secured and in the process of collection.

Nonperforming assets decreased $34.6 million between December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012. As a result, non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from 2.14% at December 31, 2011 to 1.34% at September 30, 2012. This significant reduction was mainly due to the successful efforts of our “Asset Strategies” during the second quarter of 2012. In addition, during the third quarter a total of $8.0 million was collected or paid down through additional note sales and ongoing asset management activities. Lastly, as the result of recent OCC guidance, during the third quarter of 2012, $4.7 million of loans were reclassified from performing loans to nonaccrual status (consisting of $2.5 million of residential mortgages and $2.2 million of consumer loans). For additional information on this reclass, see the “Allowance for Loan Losses” section of this Management Discussion and Analysis.

The timely identification of problem loans is a key element in our strategy to manage our loan portfolio. 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 utilizes guidelines established by federal regulation.

INTEREST SENSITIVITY

The matching of 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 is our primary tool for achieving our asset/liability management strategies. We regularly review our interest-rate sensitivity and adjust the sensitivity within acceptable tolerance ranges established by the Board of Directors. At September 30, 2012, interest-earning assets exceeded interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within one year (interest-sensitive gap) by $133.3 million. Our interest-sensitive assets as a percentage of interest-sensitive liabilities within the one-year window increased from 102.8% at December 31, 2011, to 106.2% at September 30, 2012. Likewise, the one-year interest-sensitive gap as a percentage of total assets changed to 3.13% at September 30, 2012 from 1.54% at June 30, 2012. The change in sensitivity since December 31, 2011 reflects our continuing effort to effectively manage interest rate risk and positions us to improve our net interest margin in a rising rate environment.

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, required to be performed by Federal regulation, measures the impact of an immediate change in interest rates in 100 basis point increments on the net portfolio value ratio. The economic value of 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.

(1) The percentage difference between net interest margin in a stable interest rate environment and net interest margin as projected under the various rate change environments.
(2) The economic value of equity ratio in a stable interest rate environment and the economic value of equity ratio as projected under the various rate change environments.
(3) Sensitivity indicated by a decrease of 200 or 300 basis points is not deemed meaningful at September 30, 2012 given the low absolute level of interest rates at that time.

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. In addition, our Cash Connect’s ATM Vault Cash program generates bailment income that can also fluctuate with changes in interest rates. These fluctuations are difficult to model and estimate.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

Results of Operations

During the third quarter of 2012, we recorded net income of $10.0 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share which was an increase of $3.2 million compared to the third quarter 2011. Results for the quarter were positively impacted by lower credit costs of $2.5 million from the third quarter 2011, reflecting the improved credit quality of our loan portfolio. Additionally, noninterest income increased $2.8 million due to franchise growth across all segments when compared to the third quarter 2011. Also impacting net income was lower noninterest expenses of $259,000 from the same period a year ago. Partially offsetting these gains, net interest margin decreased 22 basis points from 3.63% in the third quarter 2011 to 3.41% in the third quarter 2012 due to our second quarter 2012 Asset Strategies initiatives, our issuance of senior notes from the third quarter of 2012, and the continued low, flat interest rate environment.

Net income for the first nine months of 2012 was $23.8 million, or $2.47 per diluted common share; an increase of $7.3 million from the same period in 2011. Earnings for the first nine months of 2012 were impacted by growth in noninterest income of $18.9 million, which included $13.3 million of securities gains from the second quarter Asset Strategies. The remaining increase in noninterest income reflects continued growth across all segments of the franchise. In addition, interest income increased by $1.9 million to $95.5 million during 2012, also reflecting the growth of the franchise and our proactive interest rate management efforts. Offsetting these increases was a $6.2 million increase in credit costs, which also included the impact of our second quarter Assets Strategies. In addition, noninterest expenses increased by $1.8 million during the year, mainly due to the final stages of our retail branch expansion plan and the relocation of our operations center over the past twelve months.

Net interest income for the third quarter 2012 declined $1.3 million, or 4%, when compared to the third quarter 2011. The decrease in net interest income reflects a decline in yields in our mortgage-backed securities portfolio due to the impact of our second quarter 2012 Assets Strategies efforts, and the ongoing impact of the historically low interest rate environment. In addition, the increase in borrowing costs was mainly due to the issuance of $55.0 million of 6.25% senior notes during the third quarter of 2012. Offsetting these decreases was our continued proactive rate management as evidenced by our 29 basis point decrease in retail funding costs, while we had only a 21 basis point decrease in overall loan yield during the same period.

Table of Contents

The net interest margin for the third quarter 2012 was 3.41%, a 22 basis point decrease when compared to 3.63% for the third quarter 2011. The decrease reflects the impact of our Assets Strategies efforts during the second quarter 2012, the issuance of $55 million of 6.25% senior notes during the third quarter 2012 and the impact of the historically low, flat interest rate environment, particularly on our securities yields and loan pricing.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $95.5 million compared to $93.6 million for the same period in 2011. This increase reflects the favorable impact of the growth in our franchise and proactive interest rate management in both customer and wholesale funding costs. However, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 3.49%, down 11 basis points from the same period in 2011. Similar to the quarterly discussion above this decrease was mainly due to: decreased MBS portfolio yields over the prior year as a result of our Asset Strategies efforts, our $55.0 million senior note issuance; and the continued historically low interest rate environment.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain allowances for loan losses and charge losses to these allowances when such losses are identified. The determination of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment reflecting our best estimate of probable loan losses related to specifically identified impaired loans as well as probable loan losses in the remaining loan portfolio. Our evaluation is based upon a continuing review of these portfolios.

We established our loan loss allowance in accordance with guidance provided in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 102 (“SAB 102”). Its methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements which include: specific allowances for identified problem loans; formula allowances for commercial and commercial real estate loans; and allowances for pooled homogenous loans.

Specific reserves are established for certain impaired loans in cases where we have identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a specific credit that indicates that a loss is probable to occur.

The formula allowances for commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans are calculated by applying estimates of default and loss severity to outstanding loans based on the risk grade of loans. Default rates are determined through a past twelve quarter migration analysis. Loss severity is based on a three year historical analysis. As a result, changes in risk grades affect the amount of the formula allowance.

Pooled loans are usually smaller, not-individually-graded and homogenous in nature, such as consumer installment loans and residential mortgages. Loan loss allowances for pooled loans are first based on a five-year net charge-off history. The average loss allowance per homogenous pool is based on the product of average annual historical loss rate and the homogeneous pool balances. These separate risk pools are then assigned a reserve for losses based upon this historical loss information.

Qualitative and environmental adjustment factors are taken into consideration when determining above reserve estimates. These adjustment factors are based upon our evaluation of various current conditions, including those listed below.

 

   

General economic and business conditions affecting the Bank’s key lending areas,

 

   

Credit quality trends,

 

   

Recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio,

 

   

Collateral values and loan-to-value ratios,

 

   

Loan volumes and concentrations, including changes in mix,

 

   

Seasoning of the loan portfolio,

 

   

Specific industry conditions within portfolio segments,

 

   

Bank regulatory examination results, and

 

   

Other factors, including changes in quality of the loan origination, servicing and risk management processes.

Table of Contents

Our loan officers and risk managers meet at least quarterly to discuss and review these conditions and risks associated with individual problem loans. In addition, various regulatory agencies and loan review consultants periodically review our loan ratings and allowance for loan losses.

During the first quarter of 2012, we made certain improvements to the method in which we determine the allowance for loan loss. These improvements include:

 

   

Used a three year loss migration analysis to determine the probability of default

 

   

Segregated the commercial loan segment to more specifically analyze the risks associated with business, owner-occupied CRE, investor CRE and Construction loan portfolios

 

   

Improved the data used to determine qualitative adjustment factors

 

   

Established a portion of the allowance for loan losses related to model and complexity risk

 

   

Revised our loan risk rating system based on recommendations from industry experts

As a result of recent guidance provided by the OCC, during the third quarter of 2012 $4.7 million of loans were identified as troubled debt restructurings because the borrower’s obligation to us has been discharged in bankruptcy and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt. These loans were reclassified from performing loans to nonaccrual status and consisted of $2.5 million of residential mortgages and $2.2 million of consumer loans. Net loan charge-offs of $1.3 million were recognized. As of September 30, 2012, less than 4% of the loans within this category were 30 days or more past due and 88% of these loans have been making payments for at least the past 12 consecutive months. Based on this performance, we expect to recover a significant amount of these losses over time as principal payments are received.

During the third quarter of 2012, the provision for loan losses was also impacted by a higher level of estimated losses related to consumer loans [using updated historical data as adjusted for the current periods charge-offs and trends]. The third quarter adjustment was consistent with adjustments made in the prior year and resulted in an increase from the estimate previously used.

The provision for loan losses was $3.8 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2012 compared to $6.6 million in the same quarter of 2011. Total credit costs (including the provision for loan losses, loan workout expense, OREO expense and other credit reserves) decreased to $5.9 million from $8.4 in the third quarter of 2011, reflecting the improved credit quality of our loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $2.8 million to $19.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from $16.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. Excluding the effect of net securities gains in both periods and the unanticipated BOLI income during the third quarter of 2012, noninterest income increased by $1.3 million, or 9%. Mortgage banking and loan fee income increased $753,000, or 87%. Fiduciary and investment management income increased $271,000, or 9%, reflecting growth in the trust and wealth management segment, and credit/ debit card and ATM fees increased by $215,000, or 4%, reflecting growth in Cash Connect (our ATM division).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 noninterest income increased $18.9 million to $65.5 million compared to the same period in 2011. Excluding the effect of net securities gains in both periods and the unanticipated BOLI income in both years, noninterest income increased by $4.2 million, or 10%. Similar to the quarterly comparison, the increase in fee income was largely due to continued growth across all of our segments. The increase includes $1.5 million, or 10%, in credit/ debit card and ATM fees, $825,000, or 9%, increase in fiduciary and investment management income and $779,000 or 27%, increase in mortgage banking and loan fee income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses decreased $260,000, or 1%, to $32.2 million in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Excluding our “Right Here” advertising campaign ($961,000) in the third quarter of 2011, expenses increased $701,000 or only 2% over the same period in 2011. This increase reflects the higher expenses associated with the prior years’ retail branch expansion plan, including the opening and renovation of four branches and the relocation of our operations center in the second half of 2011 and increased compensation related costs related to our improved performance in 2012 and changes in the timing of the awards. These increases were largely mitigated by our expense management efforts over the last year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, noninterest expense increased $1.7 million, or 2%, to $96.2 million compared to the same period in 2011. Similar to the quarterly comparison, contributing to the increase were expenses associated with strategic investments, including the opening and renovation of four branches and the relocation of our operations center in the second half of 2011 and completed in early 2012 and added compensation costs related to our improved performance in 2012.

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, which requires the recording of deferred income taxes for tax consequences of temporary differences. We recorded an income tax expense of $4.8 million and $12.7 million during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to an income tax expense of $3.3 million and $8.2 million for the same periods in 2011.

The third quarter 2012 included the recognition of tax benefits related to $1.0 million of tax-free income from life insurance proceeds received from our BOLI investment. The second quarter 2011 included $1.2 million of similar tax-free BOLI income. The third quarter 2011 included tax benefits of $376,000 resulting primarily from a decrease in our income tax reserve due to the expiration of the statute of limitations on certain items. Our effective tax rate was 32.3% and 34.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 33.0% and 33.2% during the same periods in 2011. Excluding the tax-free BOLI proceeds and statute of limitations related benefit, our effective tax rates were 34.7% and 35.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 36.7% and 36.3% during the same periods in 2011.

The effective tax rate reflects the recognition of certain tax benefits in the financial statements including those benefits from tax-exempt interest income (including a 50% interest income exclusion on a loan to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan), federal low-income housing tax credits, and BOLI income. These tax benefits are offset by the tax effect of stock-based compensation expense related to incentive stock options 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2011, the FASB issued an update (“ASU” No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring) which clarifies when creditors should classify loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011. A provision in Update 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by Update 2010-20. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued an update (“ASU” No. 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control in Repurchase Agreements) which removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion related to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. In addition, this guidance also eliminates the requirement to demonstrate that a transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and applies prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions occurring on or after the effective date. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update (“ASU” No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS) to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles. While the overall guidance is consistent with U.S. GAAP, the amendment includes additional fair value disclosure requirements. The amendments in the guidance are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the adoption did have an impact on our fair value disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an update (“ASU” No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income) to eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. This amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the adoption did have an impact on our presentation of comprehensive income.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an update (“ASU” No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Goodwill for Impairment) to give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. This amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued an update (“ASU” No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 350)—Offsetting) to address balance sheet offsetting. An entity is required to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements so that users of the financial statements can understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Entities are required to disclose both gross information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. The instruments and transactions include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued an update (“ASU” No. 2011-12, Presentation of Comprehensive Income: Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05) which under ASU 2011-05 defers the effective date pertaining to reclassification adjustments out of other accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Concerns were raised that reclassifications of items out of AOCI would be costly for preparers and may add unnecessary complexity to financial statements. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this Update. This amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment) which permits entities to perform an optional qualitative assessment for determining whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. We are evaluating the impact of ASU 2012-02; however, we do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

RECENT LEGISLATION

On July 21, 2010, the President signed the Dodd-Frank Act into law. This legislation makes extensive changes to the laws regulating financial services firms and requires significant rule-making. In addition, the legislation mandates multiple studies, which could result in additional legislative or regulatory action. While the full effects of the legislation on us cannot yet be determined, this legislation was opposed by the American Bankers Association and is generally perceived as negatively impacting the banking industry. This legislation may result in higher compliance and other costs, reduced revenues and higher capital and liquidity requirements, among other things, which could adversely affect our business. There are many parts of the Dodd-Frank Act that have yet to be determined and implemented however, as a direct result of the Act, the following rulings have been adopted or will be adopted in the coming years:

 

   

On August 10, 2010 the Board of Directors of the FDIC adopted a final ruling permanently increasing the standard maximum deposit insurance amount from $100,000 to $250,000, which became effective on July 22, 2010.

 

   

During January of 2011, an implementation plan for the phase out of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“the OTS”), was announced by the joint agencies, and it merged into the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The provisions of the plan included a transition from the quarterly Thrift Financial Report, to the Call Report, which began with the March 2012 reporting period.

 

   

On February 7, 2011, the Federal Reserve approved a final ruling the changes the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) assessment from domestic deposits to average assets minus tangible equity. The changes went into effect during the second quarter of 2011. It is the intent of the FDIC that banks with over $10 billion in assets pay a larger share of the assessments into the DIF.

 

   

In June 2011, the Federal Reserve adopted the “Durbin Amendment” in which debit interchange fees would be capped at 21 cents plus 5 basis points of the transaction, with the possibility of an additional cent if the issuer implements certain fraud-prevention standards. This rule directly affects banks with $10 billion or more in assets.

 

   

On July 21, 2011, the Federal Reserve repealed Federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits.

 

   

On July 21, 2011, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) was created to centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection. The bureau has been given the responsibility for implementing, examining and enforcing compliance with Federal consumer protection laws.

In June 2012, the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved three proposals that would amend the existing capital adequacy requirements of banks and bank holding companies. The three proposals would, among other things, implement the Basel III capital standards, as well as the Basel II standardized approach for almost all banking organizations in the United States including us. The Basel III proposal would increase the minimum levels of required capital, narrow the definition of capital, and places greater emphasis on common equity. The Basel II standardized proposal would modify the risk weights for various asset classes. We are still in the process of assessing the impacts of these complex proposals.
