South African media and internet company Naspers Ltd said on Tuesday it expects lower half-year headline earnings, hurt in part by higher finance costs.
The company expects its headline earnings per share, a key profit measure for South African firms, to fall between 48 cents and 20 cents for the six months ended September 30, from 404 cents a year earlier.
