Johannesburg – JSE-listed private education group AdvTech expects its earnings per share to increase by between 13% and 18% for the six months ended 30 June 2026, compared with the same period last year.
In a voluntary trading statement issued on Tuesday, the group said basic normalised earnings per share (NEPS), headline earnings per share (HEPS) and basic earnings per share (EPS) were all expected to be between 13% and 18% higher than in the comparative period.
AdvTech said the expected increase would put NEPS, HEPS and EPS between 127.4 cents and 133.3 cents per share, compared with NEPS of 113.0 cents, HEPS of 112.7 cents and EPS of 113.0 cents in the six months ended 30 June 2025.
“The board hereby advises on its expectations of the financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2026,” the group said.
The company said it reports normalised earnings per share to exclude the impact of one-off transactions and corporate action costs from its financial results.
“The group reports NEPS as a way of excluding the effect of one-off transactions and corporate action costs from its results,” AdvTech said.
The trading statement is based on unaudited financial information.
“The financial information on which this trading update is based on has not been reviewed or audited by the group’s external auditors,” the company said.
AdvTech is expected to publish its full results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 on the JSE’s Stock Exchange News Service on or about Monday, 24 August 2026.
The group is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange under the code ADH.
