UBL declares strong profits of over Rs30bn, DPS of Rs18

MG News | February 23, 2022 at 03:49 PM GMT+05:00
February 23, 2022 (MLN): United Bank Limited (UBL) reported profit after tax of Rs30.9 billion (EPS Rs25.2) for the financial year ended 2021, which was 48% higher than 2020.
The Bank maintained strong payouts to shareholders, declaring dividends of Rs18 per share for the year 2021 which was higher than the market consensus, according to a report by Sherman Securities.
The increase in profitability was mainly due to 8x YoY higher capital and 18% YoY increase in fee, commission and brokerage income.
The bank’s net interest income (NII) stood at Rs71.75bn in CY21, lower by 4%YoY. This was due to a 3% YoY decline in interest earned courtesy of asset portfolio repricing at lower yields.
On the other hand, the total non-interest income of the bank posted an impressive growth of 37% YoY to Rs23.4 billion mainly attributable to a higher capital gain of Rs3.75 billion realized on foreign debt securities, up by 8x compared to Rs411.4 million in 2020. The increase in non-markup income was further supported by fee, dividend and FX income which mounted by 18%, 60% and 8% YoY respectively.
The bank also booked a provisioning reversal of Rs955 million during CY21 against a charge of Rs16.8 billion, due to enhanced risk vigilance and strong recovery efforts within both domestic and international businesses.
The bank’s operating expenses were recorded at Rs42.7 billion, growing by 7% YoY. Cost to income ratio remained well controlled at 46% for CY21 compared to 45% last year.
Moreover, the bank’s effective tax rate clocked in at 41% as opposed to 39% last year.
