Genuine Parts expects higher revenue but shaved the top end of its adjusted earnings guidance after third-quarter sales rose but profit remained unchanged.

The service provider of automotive and industrial replacement parts now expects revenue growth to rise 3% to 4%, up from a previous 1% to 3% but narrowed the top end of its adjusted earnings per-share expectation by 25 cents. The new range is now $7.50 to $7.75, compared with $7.50 to $8.00.

On Tuesday, the company reported a virtually unchanged net income of $226.2 million, and $1.62 a share. A year earlier, net income was $226.6 million, and $1.62 a share.

Adjusted earnings were $1.98 a share. According to FactSet, analysts were expecting $1.99 a share.

Net sales rose to $6.26 billion from $5.97 billion, beating analyst expectations of $6.12 billion. Genuine Parts credits the rise to a 2.3% rise in comparable sales in the quarter, as well as a 1.8% benefit from acquisitions.

Chief Executive Will Stengel said that it advanced its strategic initiatives in the quarter as it tried to balance costs in an inflationary environment.
