October 16, 2019 (MLN): United Bank Limited (UBL) has earned net income of Rs. 14.2 billion (EPS: Rs. 11.62) during the nine months ended on September 30, 2019. This amount is nearly 49% higher than the income of same period last year.

The improvement in net earnings can be attributed to growth in Net Interest Income by 7%, which in turn is an outcome of better asset pricing as well as book expansion. On the other hand, Non-interest Income shrank by 8.4% owing to decline in dividend income and gains made on sales of securities.

UBL also announced an Interim Cash Dividend for the quarter ended on September 30, 2019 at Rs. 3 per share i.e. 30%. This is in addition to the dividends already paid at Rs. 5 per share i.e. 50%.
