FRANKFURT, Nov 19 (Reuters) - German trucks and engineering group MAN AG said on Tuesday it expected profits in the fourth quarter to come in above the level it posted for the period last year.
"We expect fourth-quarter profits to exceed the corresponding period last year," MAN's Chief Financial Officer, Ferdinand von Ballestrem, told a conference call.
The firm said earlier it expected to match last year's pre-tax profit of 213 million euros this year.
