SYDNEY--National Australia Bank Ltd. said profit in its fiscal first quarter was up on the same time a year earlier, helped by a strong lending business and rising deposits.
NAB, one of the country's major banks, recorded an unaudited net profit of 1.80 billion Australian dollars (US$1.29 billion) in the December quarter. No comparable figure was disclosed, but it compares with a profit of A$1.70 billion reported by the bank in last year's first quarter.
Cash earnings, a measure of profit adjusted for fair value and hedging movements and is the basis for calculating dividend payouts, was also A$1.80 billion for the quarter.
This was 12% higher than the quarterly average for the second half of fiscal 2021, primarily driven by strong volumes over the quarter with lending and deposits each up A$18 billion, NAB Chief Executive Ross McEwan said.
Still, he noted that disruptions to supply chains and labor markets caused by the recent spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 present challenges.
"While this creates uncertainty, we remain optimistic about the outlook for Australia and New Zealand and are well positioned to continue to grow with a strong balance sheet and disciplined execution of a clear strategy," he said.
The bank said first-quarter revenue grew by 8%, partly reflecting higher volumes of home loans and business lending.
