DUBAI, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Egypt's Orascom Construction said on Tuesday its third-quarter net income to shareholders rose 6.1 percent to $26 million from a year earlier.

However, revenue fell to $962.1 million from $1.15 billion a year earlier, while and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), fell to $40.2 million from $61.7 million in the third quarter of last year.

The engineering and construction company, which has operations in the Middle East, North Africa and the United States, said Egypt's current economic situation and changes would not have a negative impact on its income because of the significant foreign currency component of its revenue.
