Nov 14 (Reuters) - French steel tubes maker Vallourec VLLP.PA reported an 12.3% rise in its third-quarter core profit on Friday, within its own guidance range, aided by higher selling prices and a slight increase in volumes.
Its operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose to 210 million euros ($245 million) in the July–September period, right in the middle of the 195–225 million euro range it had provided with its second-quarter results.
