Standard Bank reports slight uptick in H1 earnings

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – Standard Bank, Africa's largest lender, reported a slight uptick in first-half earnings on Thursday, helped by growth in both earnings from lending and fee revenue.

Standard Bank said headline earnings totalled 513 cents in the six months to the end of June, from 506 cents a year earlier.

Headline EPS, the main measure of profit in South Africa, excludes certain one-time items.
