National Australia Bank's first-quarter profit has fallen by 20 per cent due to lower values on some of its assets.
NAB's unaudited net profit in the three months to December 31 was approximately $1.26 billion, it said on Thursday, down from $1.6 billion in the same period in the previous year.
The bank's unaudited cash earnings in the three months to December were about $1.45 billion, up from $1.4 billion in the same period the previous year.
The main reasons for the difference between profit and cash earnings were losses on fair value and hedging impacts, NAB said.
