A strong operational performance in the three months to September 30 resulted in normalised headline earnings (NHE) of R1.76 billion. These results were underpinned by the focus on profitable growth across the group's business units, its management reported Wednesday.

On the JSE, Momentum’s share price nudged up 0.94% to R36.35 in the afternoon.

The earnings were also supported by positive market variances (R201m), although these contributed less than in the prior period (R570m). Short-term insurance underwriting experience also remained “excellent, management said.
