Feb 9 (Reuters) - ArcelorMittal South Africa's full-year
profit declined by 62% due to weaker steel prices at a time when
costs were driven up by significant price increases of key
inputs such as coal, the company said on Thursday.
The unit of global steel producer ArcelorMittal said
its headline earnings per share (HEPS) - the main profit measure
in South Africa - was 2.34 rand ($0.13) per share during the
year to December 2022, down from 6.15 rand previously.
($1 = 17.7136 rand)
