| UpdatedRegional lender Bendigo and Adelaide Bank is blaming a low-growth environment for a slide in profit.
Net profit for the six months to the end of December came in at $180.7 million, which is down 4.6 per cent on the prior corresponding period.
Cash earnings though, which is the bank's preferred measure, rose 9.5 per cent to $185.9 million.
The company's managing director Mike Hirst says the mixed result is due to a reluctance by households to borrow money.
