The bank said that the fall in net income for the quarter ended 30 April 2015 came as higher earnings from growth in average fee-based client assets were more than offset by restructuring costs of C$29m and provision for credit loss (PCL) of C$32m related to US and international wealth management businesses.
Net income increased C$41m or 18% compared to the last quarter, driven by higher earnings from growth in average fee-based client assets, partially offset by higher PCL.
Overall, the group’s net income was C$2.5bn for the second quarter, a rise of C$301m or 14% from a year earlier.
RBC president and CEO Dave McKay said: "RBC had a strong second quarter, with earnings over C$2.5bn, reflecting solid results across our businesses. I’m very pleased with our record performance in the first half of the year.
