MTN Group, Africa's biggest mobile phone company reported a 10.3 percent fall in half-year profit on Wednesday.
The hit was partly due to handset supply challenges in its mainstay South African market following a seven-week long strike, it said.
MTN, which operates in several African countries including Nigeria, said diluted headline EPS totalled 654 cents in the six months to the end of June compared with 727 cents a year earlier.
Headline EPS is the main profit measure in South Africa that strips out certain one-off items.
