Automotive Parts Group's sales increased 8.5% to $35 billion. An overall 8.4% increase in like-for-like sales and a 4.5% contribution from acquisitions boosted car sales.

"In addition, we were pleased to further strengthen our balance sheet and generate strong cash flow," he added.

"Strength in the automotive industry was broad across our global operations. Similarly, continued strength in the industry led to its fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit sales comparisons."
