Impala Platinum says it expects to report a headline loss per share of between 65c and 79c for the half-year to December 2016.This comes after headline earnings per share of 53c in the corresponding previous first half.The major reason for the swing into a loss was that the previous first half included a tax credit due to a write-off of an amount owed by a debtor, the company said on Monday.The company had also excluded income from its chrome business, which it has put up for sale.At 4.40pm on Monday, Implats’s share price was up 2.56% to R54.48.The company’s results are due out on February 23.
