01/03/2017 15:15 AST

UGB's profit attributable to shareholders of the parent for 2016 decreased to $6.3 million compared to $11.2 million in 2015, with a similar decrease in basic earnings per share to 0.77 cents from 1.38 cents in 2015.

"During 2016 UGB shored up its equity base through raising $33 million of Tier-1 Capital and later in October 2016 UGB successfully repaid it's $100 million Subordinated Bond to the investors on its maturity underpinning the strength of diversified liquidity sources and investor confidence on UGB's business model. From profitability perspective our diversification strategy and focus on recurring revenue stream has again proved its strength and UGB has posted another profitable result despite challenges faced by the investment banking industry," said Masaud Hayat, Chairman of UGB.

UGB's total assets stood at $3 billion as at 31 December 2016, up from $2.72 billion in 2015; while the bank's balance sheet remains strong with total equity of $529.5 million, up from 2015's $503.3 million, an increase of around 5.2 per cent. This is mainly reflective of the $33 million Additional Tier 1 Capital Facility raised during the 1Q2016. UGB's Board of Directors will not be recommending any dividends for the year ended 2016.
