MADRID, May 5 (Reuters) - Spain's Unicaja UNI.MC said on Tuesday its net profit rose  1.4% in the first quarter from the same period a year ago as higher fees and lower provisions offset some pressure from higher costs.

The country's sixth-largest bank in terms of market value reported a net profit of 161 million euros ($188 million) in the January to March period, up from 158 million euros in the first quarter of 2025.

    Analysts polled by Reuters expected a net profit of 153 million euros.
