SHANGHAI, Aug 15 (Reuters) - China's Ant Group posted a
net profit of 12 billion yuan ($1.68 billion) for the three
months to March 31, down 10.25% from a year earlier, Reuters
calculations based on Alibaba Group Holdings' earnings
released on Thursday showed.
The e-commerce giant reports profit from Ant one quarter in
arrears.
Chinese authorities in July last year announced a fine of
7.12 billion yuan for Ant Group for violating laws concerning
consumer protection and corporate governance, ending a
years-long regulatory overhaul of the fintech company.
Both groups were co-founded by Chinese billionaire Jack Ma.
Alibaba ( BABA ) holds a 33% stake in Ant.
