WD-40 logged higher profit in its fiscal third quarter as a rise in maintenance product sales helped offset currency headwinds.

The household-products company on Thursday posted a profit of $21 million, or $1.54 a share, compared to $19.8 million, or $1.46 a share, in the same period a year earlier.

Sales rose 1% to $156.9 million.

The San Diego company said unfavorable currency translation from its foreign subsidiaries added a $1.6 million drag to its top line.

Core maintenance product revenue rose 1% year-over-year. Sales rose 4% in the company's Americas segment, 7% in Asia-Pacific, and declined 5% in Europe, India, the Middle East and Africa.

For the fiscal year, WD-40 now expects earnings of $5.30 to $5.60, up from its prior projection for $5.25 to $5.55 a share.

The company expects sales of $600 million to $620 million for the year, lowering the top end of its prior range of $600 million to $630 million.
