FRANKFURT, May 11 (Reuters) - German warship builder TKMS on Monday reported first-half sales and profits that came in slightly higher than expected, led by its submarine and sonar technology divisions and reflecting growing demand for weapons across Europe.
First-half adjusted operating profit rose 13.2% to 60 million euros ($71 million), while sales climbed 10.2% to 1.17 billion. Analysts in a company-provided poll had, on average, expected operating profit of 59 million euros and sales of 1.10 billion.
