Homeserve sees profit at upper end of market expectations

(Reuters) - British home repairs provider Homeserve Plc said on Thursday it expected full-year adjusted pretax profit to be at the upper end of market expectations and "significantly ahead" of last year as its U.S. customer base continues to grow.

Analysts have estimated adjusted profit before tax in the range of 159.5 million pounds to 161.7 million pounds, the company said. It reported a profit of 141.7 million pounds last year.
