Sales Growth

In general, banks make money from two primary sources. The first is net interest income, which is interest earned on loans, mortgages, and investments in securities minus interest paid out on deposits. The second source is non-interest income, which can come from bank account, credit card, wealth management, investment banking, and trading fees. Luckily, WSFS Financial’s revenue grew at a decent 11.7% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth was slightly above the average banking company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. WSFS Financial’s recent performance shows its demand has slowed as its annualized revenue growth of 4% over the last two years was below its five-year trend. We’re wary when companies in the sector see decelerations in revenue growth, as it could signal changing consumer tastes aided by low switching costs. Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.

This quarter, WSFS Financial reported year-on-year revenue growth of 5.4%, and its $282.5 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 1.4%.

Net interest income made up 71% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning lending operations are WSFS Financial’s largest source of revenue.

Net interest income commands greater market attention due to its reliability and consistency, whereas non-interest income is often seen as lower-quality revenue that lacks the same dependable characteristics.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)

Banks are balance sheet-driven businesses because they generate earnings primarily through borrowing and lending. They’re also valued based on their balance sheet strength and ability to compound book value (another name for shareholders’ equity) over time.

This is why we consider tangible book value per share (TBVPS) the most important metric to track for banks. TBVPS represents the real, liquid net worth per share of a bank, excluding intangible assets that have debatable value upon liquidation. On the other hand, EPS is often distorted by mergers and flexible loan loss accounting. TBVPS provides clearer performance insights.

WSFS Financial’s TBVPS grew at a mediocre 4% annual clip over the last five years. However, TBVPS growth has accelerated recently, growing by 16.3% annually over the last two years from $25.29 to $34.24 per share.

Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for WSFS Financial’s TBVPS to grow by 10% to $37.65, paltry growth rate.
