Certain statements contained herein are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the

of 1934. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period
or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "believe,"
"expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "continue," or similar terms
or variations on those terms,
or the negative of those terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks
and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those related to the economic environment,
particularly in the market areas in which Provident Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”)
operates, competitive products and pricing, fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S.
Government, changes in government regulations affecting financial institutions, including
regulatory fees and capital requirements, changes in prevailing interest rates, acquisitions
and the integration of acquired businesses, credit risk management, asset-liability
management, the financial and securities markets and the availability of and costs
associated with sources of liquidity.
The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking
statements which speak only as of the date made. The Company also advises readers that
the factors listed above could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause
the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or
statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. The
Company does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the
result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of
anticipated or unanticipated events.
