Aug 11 (Reuters) - Australia's Newcrest Mining (NCM) reported a 10.8% fall in annual profit on Friday, hurt by higher operating and finance costs.
The country's largest listed gold miner said its underlying profit was $778 million for the year ended June 30, compared with $872 million a year earlier.
Analysts on average estimated $689.7 million, according to Refinitiv data.
