EVRAZ reported a 40.4% increase in consolidated revenues to $10.8bn driven partially by higher volumes but mostly by an upswing in prices for steel and coal products amid more favourable market trends.
Cost-cutting initiatives helped earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) by $163m along with a $104m gain from “customer-focus efforts”.
“We believe that these improvement processes are vital for our long-term competitiveness,” the company said.
