Schaeffler Group's earnings before interest and taxes climbed to €428 million in the third quarter of 2013 from €314 million in the same period last year. Net income fell 8% to €936 million.

Third-quarter sales for the German components supplier advanced 8% to €3 billion. The company attributes much of the improvement to increasing production in Europe and China.

Schaeffler reiterates its full-year guidance of 7% revenue growth, continued EBIT of 12%-13% and positive cash flow.
