(Reuters) – Swedish industrial technology group Hexagon said on Friday its operating profit fell in the first quarter, hit by weaker than expected growth in its key NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and China markets in late March.
The maker of measurement and positioning systems said it expected quarterly adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to fall to 345 million euros ($388.5 million) from 376.5 million last year.
