Evraz Group plans to boost its capital expenditure and core earnings by 2016, the company said Tuesday.
The company said it would keep potential capital expenditure at $1.5 billion on average in the coming four years, as it targets EBITDA of $5 billion in 2016.
Evraz plans "increased investment focused on adding value to steel products, particularly in the rail and pipe segments," the company said. Evraz also sees "growth in mining volumes to achieve 120 percent self-coverage in iron ore and 130 percent in coking coal by 2016." Evraz, whose debt stood at $7.38 billion as of March 31, said its net leverage was likely to rise by year's end, but net debt will not exceed two times EBITDA in the medium term.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
