By Oliver Griffin Gold Fields Ltd. (GFI.JO) said Wednesday that it expects to report a widened loss for 2018 as a result of lower revenue and higher one-off costs.
The South African gold miner said it expects to report a loss of between 40 and 44 U.S. cents a share, compared with a loss of 2 cents a share in 2017.
Headline earnings per share are expected to be between 17 and 21 cents a share, or 65%-81% lower than in 2017, when headline earnings were 26 cents a share.
Revenue for the year ended Dec. 31 fell as less gold was sold at Gold Fields' South Deep operation as a result of restructuring and industrial action, while revenue was also hit by the sale of the Darlot gold mine in Australia in 2017.
Gold Fields said fourth-quarter attributable gold-equivalent production is expected to be 509,000 ounces, compared with 533,000 ounces in the third quarter of the year.
Gold-equivalent production for 2018 is expected to be 2.04 million ounces, down from 2.16 million ounces in 2017, but higher than previously downgraded guidance of 2 million ounces.
