Distell Group Holdings Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended June 30, 2018. In this regard, for the year, shareholders are advised that earnings per share (EPS) is likely to be between 24% and 30% (141.9 cents and 177.4 cents) higher, and headline earnings per share (HEPS) is likely to be between 4% and 8% (28.3 cents and 56.7 cents) lower than the corresponding reporting period of the previous year. The anomalies included in EPS for the year but added back for HEPS purposes includes the gains realised on the disposal of the Group's interest in Bisquit Dubouché et Cie (Bisquit) and the gain on the previous held equity interest in Lusan Holdings Proprietary Limited when the remaining 50.0% shareholding in the company was acquired. Prior year impairments of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment relating to Bisquit, as well as the impairment of other financial assets, further distorted earnings trends. The results of the Group are significantly impacted by abnormal or non-recurring transactions and the change in foreign exchange rates. Normalised HEPS is likely to be between 3% and 6% (21.9 cents and 43.8 cents) higher than the corresponding reporting period of the previous year. The results of the Group are significantly impacted by the change in foreign exchange rates, mainly relating to the US dollar for both reporting periods.
