Pay Versus Performance

As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis appearing earlier, our Compensation Committee has implemented an executive compensation program designed to link a substantial portion of our NEO’s realized compensation to the achievement of the company’s financial and strategic objectives, and to align our executive pay with changes in the value of our stockholders’ investments. The following table sets forth additional compensation information for our NEOs, calculated in accordance with SEC regulations, for fiscal years 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

⁽¹⁾	For fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, this column presents the Summary Compensation Table total for President and Chief Executive Officer Anthony J. Labozzetta, following Mr. Labozzetta’s appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer effective January 1, 2022.
⁽²⁾	For fiscal year 2021, this column presents the Summary Compensation Table total for President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Martin.
⁽³⁾	SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table totals to determine “Compensation actually paid” as reported in the Pay versus Performance Table. “Compensation actually paid” does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable NEO without restriction, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. In general, “Compensation actually paid” is calculated as Summary Compensation Table total compensation adjusted to include the fair market value or change in fair market value of equity awards as of December 31 of the applicable year or, if earlier, the vesting date (rather than the grant date). In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the adjustments in the table below were made to Messrs. Labozzetta and Martin’s total compensation to determine the compensation actually paid.
⁽⁴⁾	The Non-CEO NEOs in the 2025 reporting year are Thomas M. Lyons, George Lista, Thomas Shara, and Ravi Vakacherla. The Non-CEO NEOs in the 2024 reporting year are Thomas M. Lyons, John Kuntz, Valerie O. Murray, Thomas Shara, and Ravi Vakacherla. The Non-CEO NEOs in the 2023 reporting year are Thomas M. Lyons, John Kuntz, Valerie O. Murray, and George Lista. The Non-CEO NEOs in the 2022 reporting year are Christopher Martin, Thomas M. Lyons, John Kuntz, and Valerie O. Murray. The Non-CEO NEOs in the 2021 reporting year are Anthony J. Labozzetta, Thomas M. Lyons, John Kuntz, and Valerie O. Murray. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the adjustments in the table below were made to the NEO’s total compensation to determine the compensation actually paid.
⁽⁵⁾	TSR is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100. The TSR peer group consists of the S&P U.S. SmallCap Banks Index, which is the same peer group used by the company for purposes of Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
⁽⁶⁾	Return on average assets is Provident’s selected measure. Values shown reflect ROAA as calculated for purposes of our executive compensation program for the applicable reporting year and may exclude unanticipated and non-recurring items of revenue or expense as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Award Timing Disclosure	12 Months Ended
Award Timing Disclosure	Dec. 31, 2025
Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items]
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure	Equity Compensation Grant Practices Named executives officers were granted performance shares and restricted stock awards in March of 2025. Stock option awards are not currently a component of executive compensation design. While Provident does not have a formal policy or obligation that requires it to grant or award equity-based compensation on a specific date, the Compensation Committee and the Board have a historical practice of not granting stock awards to executive officers during closed quarterly trading windows as determined under Provident’s insider trading policy. Consequently, Provident has not granted, and does not expect to grant, any stock awards to any named executive officers within four business days preceding the filing with the SEC of any report on Forms 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K that discloses material non-public information. The Compensation Committee and the Board do not take material non-public information into account when determining the timing of equity awards and do not time the disclosure of material non-public information in order to impact the value of executive compensation. Provident did not grant any stock options to its executive officers, including the named executive officers, during the year ended December 31, 2025.
