ZURICH -- Credit Suisse reported Wednesday a sharp drop in net profit for the first quarter, pressured by an accounting loss on its own debt and lower revenue at the investment bank, which shed risky assets to adapt to a tougher regulatory and market environment.
Credit Suisse said net profit fell to 44 million Swiss francs ($48 million) in the first quarter from 1.14 billion francs last year. The result was better than a net loss expected by analysts.
Excluding a raft of one-off items, net profit came in at 1.36 billion Swiss francs, Credit Suisse said.
Revenue fell to 5.88 billion Swiss francs in the quarter ended March 31, from 7.81 billion francs.
Credit Suisse did not provide an outlook statement.
Its shares were up one percent in early Zurich trading.
