SAO PAULO, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Brazil's Usiminas said on Friday it had recognized an impairment loss
of 1.7 billion reais ($321.29 million) related to the value of
its steelmaking assets, while scrapping a previous 293
million-real impairment related to mining assets.
The company said the move would weigh on its fourth quarter
results.
Usiminas in a separate statement also provided fresh
forecasts for this year, saying it expects capital expenditure
to reach 3.2 billion reais in the period.
