Jan 27 (Reuters) - Mitie Group on Thursday raised
its annual profit outlook for the second time in four months, as
the British outsourcer benefits from a higher number of COVID-19
contracts during the Omicron wave.
The company, which reported a 51% jump in its third-quarter
revenue, forecast operating profit before other items of 160
million to 165 million pounds ($214.74-$221.46 million) for the
year ending March, up from earlier estimate of 145-155 million
pounds.
Mitie provides security, cleaning and engineering services
to corporate and government organisations and helps to manage
some of Britain's COVID-19 testing sites.
