Dow Jones News
LONDON--Gold Fields Ltd. (GFI.JO) said Friday that it would
swing to profit for 2016 primarily because of a year-over-year
increase in gold prices, lower costs, weaker exchange rates and a
decline in exceptional charges.
The South African gold-mining company said earnings per share
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, is expected to be between $0.18
and $0.21, compared with a loss per share of $0.31 recorded in
2015. Headline earnings per share for year is anticipated to be
between $0.25 and $0.27 versus a headline loss per share of $0.04 a
year ago.
Gold Fields is scheduled to release its 2016 results on Feb.
16.
