OneSteel Full-Year Profit Gains 12% on Higher Iron Ore Prices and Volumes

OneSteel Ltd., the second-largest Australian producer, said full-year profit gained 12 percent because of higher iron ore prices and volumes.

Net income for the 12 months ended June 30 was A$258 million ($231 million), from A$230 million a year ago, the Sydney-based company said today in a statement. That compares with the $244 million average of nine analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

OneSteel boosted output from its iron ore unit, taking advantage of a rebound in ore prices after the global economic crisis. Sales from the unit rose 31 percent to A$782 million.

“Chinese demand for iron ore continued to increase and was fundamentally very strong throughout most of the year,” the company said in the statement.

OneSteel rose 2.3 percent to A$3.18 yesterday on the Australian stock exchange. The shares have dropped 5.1 percent this year.

“Rising raw material prices have generally been good for OneSteel, being associated with robust demand for steel and generally steel price increases in excess of raw material costs,” Credit Suisse Group AG analyst Michael Slifirski said in an Aug. 9 report.
