Operating profit increased 4% to AED10.39bn from AED10.03bn over the period. This was said to be due to DenizBank integration, asset growth, and higher fee income.

Total income surged 29% to AED22.42bn from AED17.4bn. Net interest income increased 26% to AED16.19bn from AED12.89bn, driven to loan growth and margin improvement due to DenizBank takeover.

The bank’s capital adequacy ratio and common equity tier 1 ratio at the end of December 2019 stood at 18.5% and 15.3%, respectively.

Emirates NBD group CEO Shayne Nelson said: “The Bank’s balance sheet remains healthy and the acquisition of DenizBank helped grow total assets by 37% to AED 683 billion.

“NIMs improved 7 bps y-o-y to 2.89%, helped by our expansion into Turkey, whilst the cost to income ratio at 32.1% remains within guidance.”
