Old Mutual

Old Mutual increased operating earnings per share by 11% and substantially improved returns: ROGEV rose to 12.7% and normalized RONAV to 12.6%, with both metrics for the first time exceeding estimated capital costs of 12.5%. Adjusted total earnings per share fell 27% due to weaker investment returns and longer bond duration; individual units such as Insure suffered storm-related losses. The board approved an 8.1% dividend increase and a share buyback of 1 billion rand, while OM Bank is growing in its scaling phase and had about 750,000 customers at the end of June. » More on de.investing.com
