(Reuters) - South African clothing and furniture retailer Pepkor Holdings on Friday forecast a steeper fall in annual profit, as the company said it would take a 4.8 billion rand ($305.22 million) impairment charge due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Continuing headline earnings per share (HEPS), for the year ended Sept. 30, are now expected to fall 30.5% to 40.5%, to 56.9-66.4 cents per share, from 95.5 cents per share a year earlier, the company said.
Pepkor earlier said it expected HEPS to fall by at least 20%.
