After adjusting for exchange-rate effects, the increase was roughly 10 percent. For the current fiscal year, the global provider of technology and services expects its sales to grow 3 to 5 percent.

"We continue to move forward with our traditional business and are opening up new fields of business. In so doing, we are benefiting from our broad technological and industrial expertise," said Dr. Volkmar Denner, chairman of the Bosch board of management, at the company's annual press conference.

The Bosch Automotive Technology business sector continued its strong business performance of the previous year, growing impressively in the first quarter of 2014.
