Naspers trading statement November 2011
The trading statement reminds shareholders that "the board considers core headline earnings an appropriate indicator of the sustainable operating performance of the group, as it adjusts for non-recurring and non-operational items.
"It is expected that earnings per share for the six months to 30 September 2011 will be between 40% and 50% lower compared to the prior period's 921 cents, mainly as a consequence of once-off dilution gains in the prior period arising from the contribution of the group's stake in Mail.ru into the newly listed entity.
"Headline earnings per share for the period are expected to be between 5% and 15% higher than the prior period's 633 cents.
The trading statement concludes: "Further details will be provided in the interim report, due to be released on or about 29 November 2011. Financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the company's auditors."
