Marsh & McLennan Cos.'s adjusted earnings beat Wall Street's expectations in the latest quarter, though sales were flat on the year.

The New York-based advisory firm said Thursday that net profit was $316 million, or 62 cents a share, in the third quarter. A year earlier, profit was $303 million, or 59 cents a share.

On an adjusted basis, profit was 82 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected adjusted earnings of 73 cents per share.

Revenue was $3.97 billion in the quarter, flat on the year. Analysts had expected $3.83 billion. Marsh said revenue from its risk-and-insurance business grew 4% to $2.3 billion, while consulting revenue fell 5% to $1.7 billion.
