WSFS Financial Corp.’s A- Senior Unsecured Debt Rating Affirmed with Stable Outlook by KBRA, Reflecting Strong Earnings, Liquidity, Capital and Diversified Fee Revenue
“For the tenth consecutive year, WSFS has received a strong Investment Grade debt rating from KBRA. This rating reflects our diversified revenue model and strong returns, while maintaining ample capital and liquidity. We continue to be well-positioned to serve our Clients and support our communities,� said WSFS� Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, David Burg.
KBRA also noted the ratings are supported by WSFS� significant and stable fee revenue base derived from diversified business lines, particularly its premier wealth and trust divisions, which KBRA views as a key differentiator and primary driver of the Company’s high ratings profile. The favorable fee income trends and maintenance of a healthy NIM, supported by a low-cost deposit base and well-balanced loan portfolio with regard to fixed/variable interest rate structures that results in attractive loan yields, have produced consistently strong profitability. Also key to the ratings is WSFS� favorable core funding profile and strong market position, with the largest deposit market share among locally headquartered banks. KBRA also acknowledged WSFS� markets reflect favorable demographics and are economically diverse, which provides some resilience in periods of stress; its historical asset quality metrics have been solid overall, supported by sound underwriting and credit administration and its diversified loan portfolio.
