HELSINKI, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Finnish stainless steel maker Outokumpu reported stronger-than-expected quarterly profits on Thursday, boosted by higher steel prices.

The company's adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rose to 295 million euros ($341.5 million) in the July to September quarter from 10 million a year before.

That beat the 254.5 million euros analysts had estimated in a company-provided poll.
