Forward Looking Statements
2
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 Securities Exchange Act 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.
