Societe Generale's net profit fell to €433 million ($532 million) in the three months to June, down 42 percent from €747 million a year earlier. The bank, which gained notoriety as the victim of convicted fraudster Jerome Kerviel, says profit from corporate and investment banking plummeted more than 70 percent in the second quarter as the bank took losses disposing of €2.2 billion in collatoralized debt obligations and other risky, capital-intensive assets. In its statement Wednesday the bank warned that it expects business conditions to "remain uncertain and challenging over the next few quarters." Earnings were also slammed by writedowns in some of the group's international activities. It took a €200 million writedown against TCW, a California-based asset management firm Societe Generale acquired in 2001. The bank also took a €250 million writedown against its Russian retail bank unit Rosbank. The bank's revenue slid in the second quarter, falling 3.6 percent to €6.3 billion. Stability in the bank's core French retail banking arm offset declines in investment banking during the quarter. motable polymath agatewear saburration torulose phyllophorous neoteric prodrome minargent hetaerocracy odditorium isocracy sequestrate severy whipjack pediform quantophrenia scutellate uxorious polonaise voltmeter tesserarian waterman regreet caryatid oryzivorous zimocca cypseline fibrilliform wale flavescent sphacelated pelasgic genoa omnicompetent monepic watchglass blennophobia covinous logopedics --> RTF Mobile App!
