Dialogue Group Holdings says it expects to report a loss in headline and earnings per share from continuing operations in the first half of its financial year.

The company yesterday issued a trading update in which it said that headline earnings per share for the six months to June will be between 0.7c and 1.5c, compared with a headline loss per share of 3.9c a year ago.

However, the company expects to report a headline loss per share from continuing operations of between 2.3c and 2.5c. Headline earnings are considered a valuable indicator of a company's performance.

Basic earnings per share for the six months should be between 11.9c and 12.9c, compared with a loss last year of 5.3c.

Dialogue is expecting a basic loss per share from continuing operations of between 2.6c and 3.2c, compared to a basic loss per share of 2.6c a year ago.
