An article in the wall street journal states that royal


An article in the Wall Street Journal states that Royal Bank of Canada's ROE during the fourth quarter of 2009 was 14.5%, having fallen from 16.4% during the fourth quarter of 2008.

Despite the decline in ROE, the article states that the total amount the bank had earned in profits was higher than it had been a year earlier.

What is the most likely explanation of a bank experiencing rising total profits and a falling ROE?
