Telkom is to report an increase of at least 30% in earnings per share for the half-year to 30 September.
The group published a notice this morning saying that both earnings per share and headline earnings per share will be substantially higher than those of the year-earlier period.
Telkom says it is still finalising the results and expects to release them on 24 November.
In June, Telkom surprised the market by reporting a 4.9% increase in headline earnings per share to 314c. Analysts had expected a 4.4% decline to 286c a share.
The mobile business, consisting of Telkom`s 50% stake in cellular network provider Vodacom, accounted for 22.3% of operating revenues, which totalled R37.6 billion.
