L'Oreal SA (OR.FR) said Tuesday that sales in the third-quarter rose due to strong performances across its Luxe and Active Cosmetics divisions.

The French cosmetics and consumer-products company said sales for the period were 6.47 billion euros ($7.37 billion) compared with EUR6.01 billion the previous year.

Sales in the company's Luxe division, which includes brands such as Lancome and Giorgio Armani, grew over 15% on a like-for-like basis in the third quarter to EUR2.32 billion.

The company backed its 2018 outlook for like-for-like sales growth and an increase in profitability.
