United Technologies Corp.'s third-quarter profit rose 6.9% as the industrial conglomerate posted stronger sales on its recent Goodrich acquisition, though expenses rose.

The company narrowed its full-year sales guidance, citing a lack of recovery in the commercial aerospace aftermarket and continued uncertainty in the global economy, now seeing sales of $58 billion, down from its previous view of $58 billion to $59 billion. The company affirmed its earnings guidance.

United Technologies also said it is increasing this year's restructuring effort to $600 million from $500 million, but added it now expects dilution in 2012 from its Goodrich acquisition to be 10 cents a share, down from 20 cents.

The maker of Otis elevators, Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines and Carrier air-conditioning systems recently has made deals to increase its exposure to commercial aviation. It sold a handful of businesses to fund its $16.5 billion acquisition of aircraft-component maker Goodrich Corp., which closed in late July.

Last month, United Technologies delivered a cautiously upbeat outlook for 2013, expecting to benefit from a recovery in sales of aircraft parts and its restructuring to focus on aerospace, building and security systems.

For the third quarter, United Technologies reported a profit of $1.42 billion, or $1.56 a share, up from $1.32 billion, or $1.47 a share. The company's per-share earnings from continuing operations fell to $1.37 from $1.43. Revenue improved 5.7% to $15.04 billion.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters recently expected a per-share profit from continuing operations of $1.18 on revenue of $15.51 billion.

Revenue from Pratt & Whitney rose 16%, but profit shrank 18%, and revenue at the Otis unit was down 6.4%, while profit fell 11%. UTC Aerospace Systems, a new unit that includes Goodrich and Hamilton Sundstrand, saw its revenue more than double and its earnings rise 33%.

Total costs and expenses rose 7.3% to $13.21 billion.
