ING Groep NV reported Friday a significant decline in net profit
for the fourth quarter of 2020, but it was less of a drop than the
market had expected.
The Dutch bank posted a net profit of 727 million euros ($882.1
million) for the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with EUR880
million a year earlier. Net profit had been expected to fall to
EUR456.2 million, according to a forecast taken from FactSet and
based on two analysts' estimates
Underlying pretax profit declined to EUR1.05 billion from
EUR1.34 billion for the year-earlier period, the company said. It
had been anticipated to decrease to EUR895.4 million, taken from
FactSet and based on two analyst's estimates.
Net interest income stood at EUR3.34 billion from EUR3.60
billion for the fourth quarter of 2019.
ING's common equity Tier 1 ratio--a key measure of balance sheet
strength--stood at 15.5%, the company said. The lender set a new
target of around 12.5% in November.
The lender said it is proposing to pay a cash dividend of
EUR0.12 a share "as interim" after the fourth-quarter results.
