TORONTO – The Royal Bank (TSX:RY) says it had a record annual profit in 2012, including $1.9 billion of net earnings in the fourth quarter.

The quarterly profit amounted to $1.25 per share of net earnings, or $1.27 per share of adjusted diluted earnings.

For the full-year ended Oct. 31, RBC had $7.5 billion of net earnings.

That’s up 17 per cent from 2011 and equal to $4.96 per share of net earnings or $5 per share on an adjusted basis.
