UOB’s net profit slipped 5.7% to $762m in Q2

Increased market volatility is to blame.

UOB reported that its net profit slipped 5.7% year-on-year to $762m in the second quarter, missing consensus expectations of $813m.

The unexpected decline was mostly due to lower trading and investment income, which fell 30.5% quarter-on-quarter to $156m.

Trading and investment income was impacted by market volatility, coupled with a one-off gain from investments and revaluation in the same quarter last year.

On a half-year basis, UOB's net profit fell 2.1% to $1.56 billion, as tax expenses normalised from a higher write-back of the prior years’ provisions in 1H14.

UOB's Board has declared an interim cash dividend of 35 cents per ordinary share. The scrip dividend scheme will not be applied to the interim dividend.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
