Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) (ADCB.AD), UAE s third-biggest lender, reported a more than 400% surge in first-quarter profit on Sunday, after it took big impairments a year earlier due to its large exposure to troubled hospital operator NMC Health.
Net profit in January-March this year totalled 1.1 billion dirhams ($299.50 million), a 436% increase year on year and an 11% increase quarter on quarter, ADCB said.
The growth was largely due to improved cost of risk compared to Q1 20, Chief Executive Ala a Eraiqat said in the earnings statement.
