JOHANNESBURG, June 22 (Reuters) - South African telecoms firm Telkom reported a 66% slump in full-year earnings on Monday, as it took a 1.1 billion rand ($63.5 million) provision, largely due to the coronavirus, suspended dividends for three years and withdrew some targets.
Partly state-owned Telkom said headline earnings per share (HEPS), the main profit measure in South Africa, fell to 208.1 cents in the year to March 31 from 619.2 cents a year earlier.
