BNP Paribas SA (BNP.FR) said Wednesday that its second-quarter net profit was stable on the year, beating expectations despite it taking a foreign-exchange hit, and with its corporate and institutional banking business facing a more difficult environment.

Net profit for the period was 2.39 billion euros ($2.80 billion) compared with EUR2.40 billion a year earlier, France's largest listed bank by assets said.

Revenue rose 2.5% on the year to EUR11.21 billion.

Analysts had expected the Paris-based bank to report a net profit of EUR2.07 billion for the period on revenue of EUR10.93 billion, according to a consensus forecast provided by FactSet.

The bank's core tier 1 capital ratio--a key measure of capital strength-slipped to 11.5% in June from 11.6% in March.
