(Reuters) - United Utilities Group Plc’s (UU.L) full-year profit beat analysts’ estimate on Thursday as the British water utility said it benefited from lower costs and regulatory changes to how utilities charge customers.
The utility, which supplies and treats water in north-western UK, said its underlying operating profit rose 3.6 percent to 645.1 million pounds, compared with analysts’ estimate of 641.34 million pounds
