FRANKFURT--Luxury-car maker Daimler AG (DAI.XE) could increase its dividend given its recent profit growth, Chief Financial Officer Bodo Uebber tells German daily Boersenzeitung in an interview published Saturday.

"Without pre-empting the supervisory board, the better operating result [for 2014] is a good base for suggesting a higher payout," Mr. Uebber says.

Daimler paid a dividend of 2.25 euros ($2.75) a share for 2013 and expects to improve earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation significantly this year.

Mr. Uebber says he is confident the company has set aside sufficient reserves for a looming fine in connection with a European Union antitrust complaint for suspected collusion after adding an additional EUR600 million for the case last week.
