MOSCOW, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Russian steel maker Evraz Group (HK1q.L) on Monday posted sharply lower nine-month core profit because of weak prices for its railway, construction and other products.

Evraz, part-owned by billionaire Roman Abramovich, said earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were down 85 percent at $874 million from $5.95 billion last year. [ID:nLE753314]
