Provident Financial Services reported a strong second quarter with net income of $44.8 million, or $0.58 per share, compared to $14.3 million, or $0.22 per share, for the same period last year. The results were driven by improved economic conditions, lower credit loss provisions, and contributions from the SB One Bancorp merger. The company experienced record revenues and net interest income, along with growth in non-interest bearing deposits.
