Barclays South Africa (BGA) full-year profit climbed 20%

Net income rose to R12-billion ($1.1 billion) from R10-billion a year earlier.

EPS (excluding one-time items) increased to R13.97, estimate R13.67

Dividend declared R8.20 for the year and made a special payout of R7.08.

Share price earlier touched +5%, now +3.53%


Yesterday Barclays Plc (London)  (LSE: BARC) (NYSE: BCS.US),reported adjusted pre-tax profit for 2013 of 5.2-billion pounds ($8.5-billion) as litigation and compensation charges complicated chief executive Antony Jenkins's overhaul of Britain's second-biggest bank. That's 26% down from 7.05-billion pounds in 2012 and missed the 5.4-billion pound consensus analyst estimate compiled by the bank.

Share price -4.84% atm, US due to open in 30 min.
