BRUSSELS, Feb 9 (Reuters) - ArcelorMittal , the
world's second-largest steelmaker, on Thursday said it expects
its steel shipments to increase by around 5% this year, as it
reported fourth-quarter earnings that were in line with
expectations.
The Luxembourg-based company said its fourth-quarter core
profit (EBITDA), the figure most watched by the market, was
$1.26 billion, down from $5.05 billion a year before but in line
with the average forecast in a company poll.
