Raspadskaya said Friday that profit dropped 45 percent last year as output shrank after delays in restoring its main mine following a 2010 explosion.
Net income fell to $135 million from $245 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA fell by about 4 percent to $324 million. Revenue climbed 2.9 percent to $726 million.
Coal output fell 13 percent to 6.25 million tons, Raspadskaya said in January, below the 6.4-million-ton estimate the company gave in December. The decline was partly due to delays in safety approvals as Raspadskaya restores output at its main mine following the blast in 2010 that killed 90 people.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
