Capital One Financial logged higher revenue in its latest quarter as provision for credit losses declined.

The McLean, Va., bank on Tuesday posted a second-quarter profit of $3.02 billion, or $4.73 a share, compared with a loss of $4.28 billion, or $8.58 a share, a year earlier. The loss in the year-ago quarter was driven by costs tied to the close of the company's $35 billion acquisition of Discover Financial last May.

Adjusted earnings per share were $5.81, compared with estimates of $4.67 a share according to analysts polled by FactSet.

Revenue climbed 27% to $15.85 billion. Analysts forecast $15.77 billion.

Provision for credit losses fell 74% from a year ago, to $2.99 billion.

Chief Executive Richard Fairbank said Capital One's results continue to reflect strong credit performance, and reiterated that the Discover integration is going well.

The company said credit-card loans rose 2% from a year ago to $275.41 billion as of the end of the quarter, while consumer banking loans gained 11% to $90.47 billion.

Delinquency rates for both credit cards and consumer banking edged down from a year ago, to 3.4% and 4.3%, respectively.
