En+ Group, a Russian energy-related company controlled by Oleg Deripaska, reported adjusted core earnings of $2.3 billion for 2016 on Tuesday, April 18. The disclosure is the group’s first in two years.
En+ owns 48 per cent stake in Russia’s biggest aluminium company Rusal. Financial market sources reported that the company is considering an initial public offering (IPO) in 2017.
{alcircleadd}En+'s adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for 2016 totalled $2.3 billion, of which Rusal accounted for $1.5 billion. Other businesses of the group, such as power operations, coal mining and logistics - accounted for $822 million.
"These results reflect positive trends which we have seen continuing into 2017, notably stronger aluminium pricing and growing demand for electricity in Siberia," said En+ chief executive officer Maxim Sokov.
