JOHANNESBURG May 2 (Reuters) – South African mobile
operator Vodacom said on Wednesday it expects to report
a gain of up to 10 percent in full-year earnings, hit by tax on
higher dividends paid and depreciation from higher capex.
The company said in a statement it expects to report a 5 to
10 percent gain in headline earnings per share for the year to
end-March from the previous year’s 656 cents.
Vodacom shares closed trading 0.56 percent lower at 107.49
rand.
