April 16 (Reuters) - Telecom Plus Plc, a provider ofmulti-utility services, estimated full-year profit to be belowits prior expectations, hurt by a cut in energy prices and lowerdemand due to a relatively mild winter.
The company also said on Thursday that it anticipatedadjusted pretax profit to be between 52 million pounds and 53million pounds ($77 million-$79 million) after taking intoaccount an about 6 million pound impact during the year fromhigher-than-anticipated leakage and theft in the gas system.
"Excluding this impact, the outcome will be below the levelwe were expecting to achieve," the company said in a statement.
