Dec 4 (Reuters) - Europe's largest copper producer Aurubis reported annual operating core profit just below market expectations on Thursday, weighed down by lower concentrate throughput at reduced treatment and refining charges.
Operating earnings before tax fell to 355 million euros ($414 million) in the 2024/25 financial year, from 413 million euros a year ago. That was slightly below analysts' expectations of 359 million euros in a company-provided poll.
