IBOS member HSBC has announced their financial earnings for Q3 2016, ended 30 September 2016, in a report released on 7 November 2016.
HSBC has reported a net income of $1,150 million for the third quarter of 2016. In Q3, profit before tax was 7% higher than Q3 2015, reflecting an increase in revenue and lower costs, partly offset by an increase in LICs.
Stuart Gulliver, HSBC Group Chief Executive, commented:
“Our third-quarter performance reflected the strength of our network and the deepening impact of our strategic actions. We generated a further $57bn of RWA savings in the third quarter, $40bn of which came from the sale of our Brazil business. We are now more than 80% of the way to achieving our RWA reduction target.”
