PROVIDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. DATE: April 23, 2004 By: /s/ Paul M. Pantozzi ------------------------------------ Paul M. Pantozzi Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President EXHIBIT 99 PRESS RELEASE OF PROVIDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. NEWS RELEASE Provident Financial Services (NYSE: PFS) ---------------------------------------- Contact: Kenneth J. Wagner Investor Relations Provident Financial Services, Inc. 830 Bergen Avenue Jersey City, NJ 07306 201-915-5344 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 22, 2004 Provident Financial Services, Inc. Announces Quarterly Earnings and Declares Quarterly Dividend JERSEY CITY, NJ, April 22, 2004 - Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS) reported net income of $10.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared to a net loss of ($6.4) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was due primarily to the one-time expense associated with the $15.6 million contribution net of tax to The Provident Bank Foundation. The Company reported basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.19 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared to a basic and diluted loss per share of ($0.12) for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. "Our fundamental earnings measurements continued to show improvement in this year's first quarter," said Paul M. Pantozzi, the Company's Chairman of the Board, CEO and President. "The reported net interest margin of 3.50% climbed 9 basis points above the level of the trailing quarter, and our non-interest income categories, particularly fee income, continued their positive trend. Net income was augmented by gains on earning-asset sales that resulted from our ongoing management of interest rate risk." Mr. Pantozzi added, "Our ability to generate commercial real estate loans, including construction loans, as well as commercial & industrial loans was amply demonstrated in the first quarter of 2004. The balances outstanding in these combined categories grew $61.3 million or 6.89% compared to the balances reported at year-end 2003. This has contributed incrementally toward our strategic goal of maintaining an even mix of commercial and consumer loan assets in the overall loan portfolio." "Meanwhile, our integration plans for the pending acquisition of First Sentinel Bancorp, Inc. have been proceeding on schedule. We continue to look forward to the successful completion of this transaction at the end of the second quarter, as planned, subject to regulatory and stockholder approvals. The stockholders of both companies will vote on the transaction at annual meetings scheduled for June 23, 2004." . COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS Total net interest income increased $2.1 million or 6.64% to $34.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to $32.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

Income on commercial loans decreased $1.7 million or 30.0% to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, which amount included $2.3 million in mortgage warehouse interest income.

Interest expense decreased $2.3 million or 15.64 % to $12.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to $14.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Due to the continued decline in interest rates on deposits, interest expense on deposits decreased $4.3 million. Interest expense on borrowings increased $2.0 million due to an increase in outstanding borrowings used to fund commercial real estate loan commitments and leverage transactions. The average balance of investment securities held to maturity and securities available for sale increased $28.5 million to $1.63 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from $1.60 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The average balance of net loans increased $241.7 million or 12.31% to $2.20 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to $1.96 billion for the comparable quarter in 2003. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased 37 basis points to 4.79% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to 5.16% for the comparable quarter in 2003, primarily due to the reinvestment of cash from loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments in lower yielding loans and investments. Compared to the trailing quarter the yield on interest earning assets improved 12 basis points to 4.79% from 4.67%. Average core deposit account balances increased $159.0 million or 10.04% to $1.74 billion for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to $1.58 billion at March 31, 2003. Core deposit accounts consist of all demand deposit and savings accounts.

Average borrowings increased $272.4 million or 65.48% to $688.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to $416.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 50 basis points to 1.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to 2.17% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, and compared to the trailing quarter, the average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 3 basis points.

The interest rate spread increased 13 basis points to 3.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to 2.99% for the comparable quarter in 2003, and compared to the trailing quarter, the interest rate spread increased 9 basis points. Non-interest income increased $2.2 million or 39.78% to $7.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to $5.5 million for the comparable period in 2003. Fees on retail accounts increased $572,000 or 14.11% to $4.63 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $4.05 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to fee income associated with the introduction of overdraft privilege on retail checking accounts during the fourth quarter of 2003. Income associated with the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance increased $185,000 or 23.07% to $907,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to $802,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. This increase was due to an additional purchase of $20.0 million of bank owned life insurance late in the first quarter of 2003. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Company recorded net gains of $431,000 on securities sales compared to a net loss of $4,000 in the same prior period.

Other income increased $952,000 or 171.53% to $1.5 2 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $555,000 in the comparable quarter of 2003. During the first quarter the Company sold $72.0 million of fixed rate 30- and 20-year residential mortgages as part of an ongoing strategy to reduce interest rate risk. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded gains of $1.3 million on the sale of residential mortgage loans compared to gains of $288,000 in the same prior period. Proceeds from the sale of loans and mortgage-backed securities were used to reduce short-term borrowings and reposition the balance sheet. Non-interest expense decreased $20.9 million or 43.90% to $26.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to $47.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 is primarily due to the one-time expense associated with the $24 million contribution to The Provident Bank Foundation that was recorded in the first quarter of 2003. Salary and benefit expense increased $2.4 million or 19.8% to $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to expenses related to stock based benefit plans. Expenses associated with the employee stock ownership plan amounted to $747,000 at March 31, 2004 compared to $516,000 at March 31, 2003. Stock award plan expense in the amount of $1.3 million and stock option plan expense in the amount of $910,000 were recorded in the first quarter of 2004, while there were no expenses associated with these plans in the comparable period in 2003. The Company has adopted the fair value based method, SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" to recognize compensation expense on all outstanding stock option awards from the time of grant. The provision for loan losses for both the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $600,000. The allowance for loan losses was $20.6 million or 0.91% of total loans at March 31, 2004 compared to $21.0 million or 1.05% of total loans at March 31, 2003 and $20.6 million or 0.92% of total loans at December 31, 2003.
