Sun International said earlier on Wednesday that diluted adjusted HEPS for the half-year ended December were expected to be between 189c and 223c compared with 344c before.
The group said the Dreams and GPI Slots operations were now consolidated and contributed to a 30% increase in revenue and 24% increase in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) over the year-earlier period.
However, the group said its South African casino operations faced difficult trading conditions linked to an uncertain macroeconomic environment and reduced consumer spend. As a result, South African casino revenue declined by 2.7% following weaker than expected December trading.
Sun City and Table Bay continued to benefit from an increase in international tourists, which helped to boost overall rooms revenue by 14%; EBITDA for the group's South African casino, hotel and resort operations, excluding International VIP business (IB), was down 8%.
