Ferrexpo Doubles Profits

Ferrexpo, the Swiss-headquartered, U.K.-listed, Ukraine iron ore pellet maker, said its annual profits climbed to $292 million from $124 million, with revenue up 60% to $1.12 billion, as the average pellet price rose 72%.

It said it has been trading profitably since the economic downturn and is paying a dividend of 3.3 cents a share, in either dollars or sterling, and said the outlook for the iron ore market remains uncertain in the short term.

It maintained positive margins during the first two months of 2009.
