MOSCOW, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Russia's largest gold producer
Polyus PLZL.MM said on Monday its first-half net profit rose
21 percent year on year to $603 million, partially thanks to
one-off non-cash items and forex exchange gains.
Its revenue went up 14 percent to $1.2 billion, Polyus said
in a statement. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxation,
depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 10 percent to $762
million as higher sales volumes offset stable gold price.
