Argentina’s Siderar Profit Falls 83% in Quarter as Costs Rise

Siderar SAIC (ERAR), Argentina’s biggest steelmaker, said profit for the second quarter fell 83 percent to 92.6 million pesos ($20.2 million) from a year earlier as costs rose.

Sales slid 1.1 percent to 3 billion pesos, the company said in a filing with the Buenos Aires stock exchange. The cost of sales rose 10 percent to 2.4 billion pesos.

The company said costs increased as a result of rising prices for raw materials, labor and services.
