Aggreko PLC (LON:AGK) saw its first half profits fall by 10%, hurt by lower pricing on its Argentina contracts, although the world's largest temporary power provider maintained its full-year guidance.
The FTSE 250-listed firm reported a pretax profit before exceptional items of £63mln for the six months to June 30, down from £71mln a year earlier.

However, group revenue rose by 16% to £702mln, although excluding legacy pricing contracts in Argentina revenue was only up by 6%.
The firm said the first-half results were in line with market expectations and its full-year guidance is unchanged.
Aggreko’s chief executive Chris Weston said: "I am confident that the changes we have made in the last two years are delivering results, with our first-half performance supporting our view that, Argentina aside, we will grow this year."
The firm left its interim dividend unchanged at 9.38p.
