April 24, 2019 (MLN): United Bank Limited (UBL) has reported net earnings of Rs. 4 billion (EPS: Rs. 3.3) for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which is about 47% higher than the earnings of Rs. 2.7billion recorded in the same quarter last year.

During 1QCY19, UBL's net interest income grew meagerly by 4.6%, while net non-interest income dropped by 31% on account of lower capital gains and other income.

However, the bank's provision expenses declined by  54.4% over the quarter, which further helped in lifting the profits up.

Furthermore, due to additional super tax imposed, UBL has booked higher effective tax rate of 51% for this quarter. Despite this, the result is above expectations.

The Board of Directors of the bank announced an interim cash dividend for the quarter at Rs 2.5 per share i.e. 25%.
