Cairo-based EFG Hermes had penciled in a second-quarter net profit of AED193 million for DIB , while investment bank HC Securities had seen it at AED202 million.
First-half net profit was up 10% at AED552 million, while revenue for the period rose 20% year on year to AED1.8 billion, it added.
DIB said it raised provisions for impairment to AED500 million in the first half, from AED320 million in the corresponding period in 2010. Provisions for the second quarter rose to AED210 million compared with AED146 million a year ago.
"The bank's commitment to prudently manage its core operations, through effective cost controls and risk management, has delivered a strong set of results in the second quarter of the year," said Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani, DIB 's chairman and director general of The Ruler's Court of Dubai.
DIB 's financing-to-deposit ratio stood at 71.3% as of June 30, while its capital adequacy ratio was 17.5%, the lender said.
DIB in September 2010 raised its stake in Dubai-based Islamic mortgage company Tamweel to 58.25% for AED375 million.
The lender's shares closed unchanged Thursday at AED2.00 on the Dubai bourse.
