Pro forma figures stripping out Cell C and Comm Equipment Company show revenue of R9.4-billion and core Heps of 75.33c, lower than reported figures, implying both units were previously contributing to earnings. Shares rose slightly on the news, suggesting the market had already priced in the distortion. Full results are due 26 August. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
