Credit Agricole SA, France’s third-largest bank, posted a quarterly loss that exceeded analysts’ estimates on costs tied to the sale of its Greek unit.

The shares fell the most in a year after the bank, based outside of Paris, reported a third-quarter net loss of 2.85 billion euros ($3.62 billion). That’s wider than the 1.88 billion-euro average estimate of seven analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
