Solid loan growth and higher non-funded income supported profitability
Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank’s (“ADCB”, “The Bank”) net profit rose 26.7% YOY to AED 1,879 Mn in 1Q23, higher than our estimate of AED 1,766 Mn. The increase in net profit is primarily driven by a strong growth in net funded which grew due to increase in loan growth and higher interest rates, partially offset by a rise in operating expenses and impairments.
