The JSE has identified and stopped "incorrect" trades from one of its members, and will reverse the trades and lower the session's total value after the close.
Johannesburg - Civil engineering and construction contractors Wilson Bayly Holmes-Ovcon [JSE:WBO] on Monday reported a 20.1% decline in diluted headline earnings per share to 1 402.4 cents for the year ended June 2011 from 1 754.4c a year ago.
Revenue decreased 2.9% to R14.8bn while operating profit before non-trading items declined 14.5% to R1.09bn, reflecting the decline in available work and consequential margin pressures.
"Despite such margin pressures the group has maintained a satisfactory margin of 7.4%, firstly through the finalisation of some major contracts and secondly through effective cost management within the operating divisions," it said.
Earnings per share fell by 23.6% to 1 340c, impacted predominantly by the decrease in operating profits, through impairments of goodwill and loans and a 19.6% drop in investment income.
A final dividend of 220c/share was declared, for a total dividend of 330c, unchanged from last year.
The company said the results were "commendable", considering the particularly tough market conditions experienced over the last 18 months.
