MADRID, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Spain's Unicaja UNI.MC said on Tuesday its net profit rose 6.1% in the fourth quarter compared to the same period in 2024 as a rise in fees and lower overall provisions offset lower lending income.
The country's sixth-largest bank in terms of market value reported a net profit of 130 million euros ($153.56 million) in the October to December period, up from 122 million euros in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Analysts polled by Reuters expected a net profit of 151 million euros.
