DUBAI - The United Arab Emirates' biggest lender by assets, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) FAB.AD, on Thursday beat estimates for second-quarter profit, helped by growth in both interest and non-interest income.

Net profit attributable to shareholders came in at 4.26 billion dirhams ($1.16 billion), up 1% from 4.21 billion dirhams a year earlier.

It topped analysts' mean expectations of 3.98 billion dirhams, according to LSEG data.
