Oct 23 (Reuters) - MTU Aero Engines reported

a third-quarter adjusted operating profit that beat market

expectations on Thursday, as revenue growth in its commercial

engine business and commercial maintenance helped cushion the

impact of U.S. tariffs.

The Airbus and Boeing ( BA ) supplier said its

adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were 339 million

euros ($395 million) in the quarter, up from last year's 273

million euros and exceeding analysts' forecasts of 292 million

euros in a company-provided consensus.
