ING Groep N.V. (INGA.AE) Wednesday reported a fall in first
quarter net profit mainly due to the contribution of the sale of
shares in NN Group in the comparable period in 2016.
However, stripping out one-off items the Netherlands' largest
bank by assets' underlying pretax profit rose 39%, boosted by
continued loan growth, good cost control and relatively low risk
costs, it said.
Net profit for the quarter ended March 31 was 1.14 billion euros
($1.24 billion), compared with ERU1.26 billion for the comparable
period in 2016, while underlying pretax profit was EUR1.65 billion,
compared with EUR1.19 billion.
Net interest income rose slightly to EUR3.35 billion, from
EUR3.25 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
ING Group's fully-loaded common equity Tier 1 ratio, a measure
of financial stability, stood at 14.5% at March 31, compared with
14.2% at Dec. 31, 2016.
