Coal sales including intersegment shipments were 7.2 million tonnes, including 1.9 million tonnes of raw coking coal, 1.8 million tonnes of steam coal, 3.4 million tonnes of coking coal concentrate, and 0.1 million tonnes of steam concentrate.
Outlook – The positive impact of the recovery in crude steel production volumes in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of the same year is expected to be offset by negative seasonal factors, namely the shift of product mix toward lower-margin export products due to weaker demand from the Russian construction industry and an increase in certain cost items. Consequently, the company expects the 4Q 2010 EBITDA to be in line with 3Q 2010.
Evraz’s consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were US$6,379 million and consolidated adjusted EBITDA amounted to US$1,154 million.
