Rand helps Steinhoff

Cape Town -  Integrated retailer Steinhoff International [JSE:SHF] announced its interim results for the six months ended December 2013  on Tuesday.

Headline earnings per share (Heps) improved by 41% to 243 cps. Cash generated from operations was at R5.6bn and operating margin increased by 70 bps to 9.4%.

Sales increased 17% to R67.4bn.

Steinhoff posted a 41% increase in profit. Since the company has a lot of sales in Europe, the weaker rand made a positive impact on its profits.

 Steinhoff announced in January this year that it plans to sell as much as $631m of bonds convertible into shares to push out debt maturities.
