Statutory net profit after tax increased 8% to A$10.91 billion. The bank cited lending growth and stable underlying net interest margin, partly offset by higher expenses and loan impairments. It declared a fully franked final dividend of A$2.70 per share (A$5.05 full year).
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) will report full-year earnings on Wednesday. Analysts expect a record cash profit of $10.87 billion, after $5.4 billion in the first half.

CBA booked $316 million loan impairment charges in the March quarter.
