By Adria Calatayud

 

UBS Group reported a second consecutive quarterly net profit, beating analysts' expectations, as the Swiss banking giant continues to integrate former rival Credit Suisse.

The Zurich-based banking group said Wednesday that net profit was $1.14 billion compared with $27.33 billion for the same period last year, when it booked a $29 billion accounting gain on its takeover of Credit Suisse.

Analysts had forecast a net profit of $528 million, according to consensus estimates compiled by the bank.
