RETAIL group Wooltru says headline earnings from continuing operations fell 20% to R151.6m in the six months to end-December 2000. Headline earnings per share fell 24% to 32.3 cents. The drop was caused mainly by start-up costs at the group’s business-to-consumer venture inthebag.co.za, losses at clothing chain Topics and the dilution of Wooltru’s holding in retailer Massmart, it said.
