Finland's Neste beats quarterly expectations
HELSINKI, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Finland's Neste NESTE.HE on Thursday posted stronger than expected third-quarter operating earnings and said production at a repaired line of its new Singapore facility is expected to start in the first half of November.
The oil refiner and biofuel producer's July-September comparable earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose to 1.05 billion euros ($1.11 billion) from 979 million last year.
The result beat the 930.5 million euro mean estimate of 16 analysts in a poll provided by the company.
