UniCredit SpA (UCG.MI) said Tuesday that its second-quarter net
profit rose, supported by lower operating costs and net write-downs
on loans and provisions.
Net profit for the period was 1.02 billion euros ($1.18
billion), compared with EUR945 million a year earlier.
Operating income fell roughly 4.3% on year to EUR4.95 billion,
as net interest income and trading income decreased.
Operating expenses stood at EUR2.66 billion compared with
EUR2.86 billion a year earlier.
Net write-downs on loans and provisions declined almost 24% to
EUR504 million in the quarter.
"The UniCredit team has delivered another very solid set of
results in the first half of 2018 despite a more challenging market
and geopolitical context. We remain confident in the European and
Italian economy and their strong underlying fundamentals," Chief
Executive Jean Pierre Mustier said.
