KB Financial Q1 net profit 1.8924 trillion won, up 11.5 percent on year

KB Financial Group said first-quarter net profit rose 11.5 percent from a year earlier to 1.8924 trillion won, helped by higher fee income at its bank, securities and asset management units despite increased market volatility. Non-bank units raised their contribution to fee income and net profit. Key capital and soundness metrics stayed stable, with a CET1 ratio of 13.63 percent and a BIS ratio of 15.75 percent as of end-March.
