Johannesburg - Branded fast-moving consumer packaged goods company Tiger Brands [JSE:TBS] said on Tuesday that it expects headline earnings per share (Heps) to reflect an increase of between 10% and 15% for the year ended September 2011, from R13.93 previously.
It said it anticipated earnings per share (EPS) would reflect an increase of between 15% and 19% from R13.86 in 2010.
The differential in the rate of growth between Heps and EPS was primarily due to an abnormal gain in 2011 arising from the recognition of the company's equity interest in National Foods Holdings Limited of Zimbabwe, which was not previously accounted for.

Excluding this amount, Heps in 2011 was expected to show an increase of between 3% and 7% compared to the adjusted figure of R14.89c reported in respect of the previous financial year.
In 2010, the group announced an operating profit of R3bn, and a total dividend and capital distribution of 746c per share.
Tiger brands expects to publish its results on November 23.
