The maker of measurement and positioning systems and software said its North American business had recorded 7% organic growth, driven by solid demand across most industries.

Hexagon's adjusted operating profit rose to 379 million euros ($384 million) from a year-earlier 315 million, against a mean forecast of 372 million in a Refinitiv poll of analysts.

It said the challenging supply chain situation had impacted organic growth at the group negatively by around 6% in the quarter.

"We are now starting to see improvements in the supply of certain components, and we expect a resolution by the end of the year," CEO Ola Rollen said in a statement.

Sales were up 6% on a like-for-like basis to 1.29 billion euros, versus 1.28 billion expected by analysts.
