Stripping out Cell C-related items, the underlying business posted revenue of R5-billion, Ebitda of R535-million, and core headline earnings of R398-million. However, even on this adjusted basis, core headline earnings per share fell 10–14% year-on-year. Full results are due 25 February 2026. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
