Feb 15 (Reuters) - South Africa's DRDGold on Wednesday reported a 7.4% increase in half-year profit, as higher gold prices offset the impact of power cuts on metal processing operations.


DRDGold's headline earnings per share (HEPS) - the main profit measure in South Africa - was 62.3 cents ($0.0346) in the six months to December 2022, up from 58 cents previously.
