JOHANNESBURG, March 18 (Reuters) - South African miner Northam Platinum on Friday reported a surge in interim headline earnings driven by higher metals prices and a weaker rand exchange rate.
The company reported a 74% jump in normalised headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the six months ended Dec. 31 of 641.5 cents compared with 369.6 cents during the same period a year earlier.
HEPS is the main profit measure used in South Africa, which strips out certain once-off items. (Reporting by Tanisha Heiberg; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)
