The Royal Bank of Scotland reported a net profit of £707 million for its first quarter on Friday, down 11% from £792 million over the same period last year.The bank has long warned of the possible impact of the U.K.'s departure from the European Union, along with a highly competitive mortgage market. In the third quarter of 2018, RBS set aside £100 million to deal with economic uncertainties, including the fallout from Brexit.
The figures come amid what is proving to be a difficult earnings season for the European banks, with fellow British giant Barclays reporting a 10% drop in profits Thursday. Shareholders at the bank's annual general meeting yesterday voted to back the bank's remuneration report, despite challenges from shareholder advocacy group ShareSoc over outgoing CEO Ross McEwan's 35% annual pension allowance, compared to 10% for the average employee.
RBS is still 62% owned by the taxpayer as a result of its £45.5 billion government bailout following the 2008 financial crisis. The bank said on Friday that it hopes the U.K. government will sell its entire stake by 2030. The British Treasury took a £2.1 billion hit in selling 7.7% of its stake in June 2018. In August 2018, the bank announced it would pay its first dividend to shareholders since the crash.
