(Reuters) -Italian water heating firm Ariston Holding on Wednesday reported a 17.9% rise in its nine-month adjusted operating profit to 114.1 million euros ($133.1 million), and said its 2025 revenue growth would be at the top end of its earlier guidance.
The company now expects organic net revenue growth of around 3% for the full year, after previously forecasting it in a range of 1% to 3%.
“Thanks to the strength and capability of our organization, the delivery on the efficiency program and the capability to capture market opportunities we are progressively improving our trajectory,” CEO Maurizio Brusadelli said in a press release.
Ariston is investing in the future, he added, after it launched the construction of a water heating plant in Italy and acquired another one in India.
The company’s mid-term outlook remains unchanged, it said.
Shares of Ariston rose around 8% as of 1317 GMT following the earnings statement.
