May 1 (Reuters) - Linde LIN.O, the world's largest industrial gases company, reported first-quarter results above market expectations on Friday as the company benefited from a favourable currency effect.
The U.S.-German company, which supplies gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen to factories and hospitals, reported a 10% rise in its adjusted earnings per share to $4.33 in the January-March period.
That was ahead of analysts' mean estimate of $4.26 per share, according to LSEG data.
