Alexander Popov, Chair of Acron's Board of Directors, said: “Acron Group's financial performance is sustainably on an upward drive.
“The Group's new investment programme has built-in flexibility to allow us to adjust our annual volume of investments. In 2Q18, we started construction of vertical shafts at the Talitsky site using the Group's equity, and slightly adjusted the deadlines for several investment projects at Acron (Veliky Novgorod) and Dorogobuzh. This year, the Group's CAPEX totals approximately US$200 million. We will continue to focus on paying dividends while our debt burden remains moderate.”
