Sea Harvest Group Limited provided earnings guidance for the year ended December 31, 2017. For the year, the company expects to report a basic earnings per share (‘EPS’) of between 110 and 124 cents (representing an increase of between 28% and 44%) and a basic headline earnings per share (‘HEPS’) of between 99 and 113 cents (representing an increase of between 74% and 98%), compared to the EPS of 86 cents and HEPS of 57 cents for the year ended 31 December 2016 as disclosed in the company's Pre-listing Statement dated 6 March 2017. The improved performance of the group was driven by the South African operations with strong market demand for Cape Hake globally and significantly enhanced performance from the investments made in the Saldanha Bay processing plants.
