WSFS Financial Corporation headquarters, symbolizing a legacy of banking.
WSFS Financial Corporation, the oldest bank in the U.S., is preparing to announce its Q2 earnings. With notable growth in lending and wealth management services, the bank’s performance shows solid financial health. The announcement will cover key metrics and management insights, as stakeholders anticipate the earnings call on July 25. Recent structural changes, including the sale of a consumer lending portfolio, signify strategic moves to maintain market positioning amidst potential market fluctuations.
WSFS Financial Corporation, the parent company of WSFS Bank, has announced its upcoming earnings release for the second quarter of 2025, scheduled for July 24, 2025. The bank, which has a rich history dating back to 1832, is the oldest continuously operating bank in the United States under its original name. On the following day, July 25, a conference call will be held at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the earnings results.
As of March 31, 2025, WSFS Financial reports substantial assets of $20.5 billion and manages a total of $89.6 billion in assets. The corporation operates a network of 115 offices, including 88 banking locations across the Greater Philadelphia and Delaware areas, with additional branches in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida, Nevada, and Virginia.
In the first quarter of 2025, WSFS Financial reported that its gross loans amounted to $13.16 billion. This figure includes significant year-over-year growth in both construction loans, which increased by $36.6 million, and commercial and industrial loans, which rose by $162.3 million. Overall, client deposits reached $16.88 billion, resulting in a 77% loan-to-deposit ratio that showcases the company’s prudent balance sheet management.
The corporation’s wealth management segment also demonstrated positive growth, with assets under management increasing from $89.4 billion to $89.6 billion between late 2024 and March 2025. Additionally, fee revenue from these services climbed by 6% year-over-year, totaling $80.9 million in Q1 2025. The company’s diversification strategy includes subsidiaries such as Bryn Mawr Trust® for wealth management, WSFS Mortgage®, Arrow Land Transfer, and WSFS Wealth® Investments.
WSFS Financial reported a net interest income (NII) of $175.2 million for Q1 2025, reflecting a slight decrease from the previous quarter but with an improved net interest margin (NIM) of 3.88%. This increase was attributed to lower deposit costs. The total net revenue for the first quarter reached $256.1 million, acknowledging a slower pace in loan growth combined with fee volatility.
Looking ahead, the company anticipates a 2.9% increase in earnings per share (EPS) for the full year 2025, projecting it to reach approximately $4.40. This estimated growth is a reduction from the previously anticipated 9.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). In a strategic move, WSFS sold a majority of its remaining unsecured consumer lending portfolio, with an outstanding book balance of $98.1 million as of May 31, 2025. This sale is expected to incur a net charge-off of about $4.3 million alongside a provision release of approximately $4.8 million, though it will have negligible ongoing impacts on the financial results.
In light of recent changes, WSFS Financial has appointed new executives including Allan Matyger as Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, and Rebecca Seeman as Chief Operating Officer of Consumer Banking. The financial services entity has received a Market Perform rating from Keefe, Bruyette & Woods along with a target price of $64.00, reflecting confidence in the bank’s market position and its diverse income streams.
As WSFS Financial Corporation prepares to unveil its Q2 2025 earnings, stakeholders will be keen to assess the organization’s performance in light of ongoing economic developments and the company’s strategic initiatives aimed at sustaining its growth trajectory.
