October 26, 2020 (MLN): United Bank Limited (UBL) has made profits of Rs. 15.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, i.e. merely 2% lower as compared to the profits of the same period last year (SPLY).

The earnings per share for the period stood at Rs. 12.81, showing almost no change as compared to the EPS of Rs. 12.82 reported in SPLY.

Despite an increase of 29% in net interest income, the profits of the Bank took a hit on account of a 25% drop in non-interest income. The fall in the latter resulted from a decline in Fee income, Dividend income, forex income, income from derivatives, and Other income by 24%, 35%, 12%, 4.22x, and 61% respectively.

While the operating expenses did not show any change as such, the non-core charges jumped by 53.44x, taking a significant toll on the operating margins.

Other items such as decline in share of profits from associates by 59% and an increase in provisions by 171% further pulled the profits down.
