英国巴克莱银行周四表示，第三季度净利润几乎增长四分之一，得益于核心英国和投资部门表现改善以及成本削减。

巴克莱在一份声明中表示，税后利润在截至九月底的三个月内比一年前增长了23%，达到近16亿英镑（21亿美元）。

“我们继续保持成本纪律，并且资本充足，”巴克莱首席执行官C. S. 范卡塔克里什南表示。

巴克莱在二月份概述了未来几年削减20亿英镑成本的计划，该行已在2023年裁员5000人。

该银行仍将按计划于下周完成对英国超市巨头乐购银行的收购。

“对乐购银行的收购…是我们投资英国的承诺的一部分，” 范卡塔克里什南周四补充说。

巴克莱英国的净利润第三季度增长了17%，投资银行部门增长了12%。

在业绩更新后，巴克莱股价在交易开始时上涨了3.6%。

“巴克莱是一个多头兽，这些数字再次表明了其多元化模式的强大性，”交易集团互动投资者市场主管理查德·亨特指出。

巴克莱是英国四大银行中第二家在当前财报季度报告的银行。

劳埃德银行集团周三披露净利润下降，全球利率普遍下降，会计首九个月的表现同时也受到了更高成本的影响。

British bank Barclays on Thursday said its net profit jumped almost a quarter in the third quarter, helped by improved performance at its core UK and investment divisions alongside cost-cutting.

Profit after tax climbed 23 percent to nearly £1.6 billion ($2.1 billion) in the three months to the end of September compared with one year earlier, Barclays said in a statement.

“We continue to exercise cost discipline and remain well capitalized,” said Barclays chief executive C. S. Venkatakrishnan.

Barclays in February outlined plans to slash £2 billion in costs over the coming years, having axed 5,000 jobs in 2023.

The bank remains on course to complete next week its takeover of the banking arm of British supermarket giant Tesco.

“The acquisition of Tesco Bank… forms part of our commitment to invest in the UK,” Venkatakrishnan added Thursday.

Net profit at Barclays UK jumped 17 percent in the third quarter and by 12 percent at its investment banking division.

Shares in Barclays jumped 3.6 percent at the start of trading following the results update.

“Barclays is a multi-headed beast, and these numbers underline once more the strength of its diversified model,” noted Richard Hunter, head of markets at trading group Interactive Investor.

Barclays is the second of Britain’s four major banks to report in the current earnings season.

Lloyds Banking Group on Wednesday revealed a drop in net profits as interest rates fall around the world, adding that performance in the first nine months was impacted also by higher costs.

NatWest publishes its latest earnings Friday followed by HSBC on Tuesday.
