York Timber Holdings Limited provided financial guidance for the year ended 30 June 2019. Core earnings per share (based on EPS attributable to ordinary shareholders less the fair value adjustment to the biological assets, net of tax) are expected to decrease from 27.0 cents to between 7.56 cents and 8.91 cents. This is as a result of a decrease in operating profit caused by industrial action during the first half of the financial year. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, amortisation and fair value adjustments are expected to be between 25% and 30% lower than that reported in the comparative period of ZAR 276.2 million.
