French ophthalmic lens maker Essilor International SA (EI.FR) Thursday reported a 6.3% rise in third-quarter revenue, boosted by acquisitions, and said it expects revenue to increase in 2009.

Revenue in the third quarter rose to EUR805.1 million from EUR757.6 million. The contribution from acquisitions accounted for 5.6 percentage points of that revenue increase.

On a like-for-like basis, excluding foreign exchange and acquisitions, revenue rose 0.1% in the third quarter, Essilor said.

For the full year, while Essilor expects revenue to rise, it sees growth on a like-for-like basis at around 0%.

Revenue in the nine months to Sept. 30 rose 8.4% to EUR2.47 billion from EUR2.28 billion, but fell 0.4% on a like-for-like basis.
