Aug 12 (Reuters) - Australian mid-sized lender Bendigo and Adelaide Bank BEN.AX said on Monday its annual cash earnings fell 6.6%, hurt by higher remediation and redundancy costs.
For the 12 months ended June 30, cash earnings - which exclude one-off gains or losses - fell to A$415.7 million ($282.1 million) from A$445.1 million a year ago.
The bank maintained its final dividend at 35 Australian cents per share. ($1 = 1.4738 Australian dollars)
