Ørsted A/S, press release 2 June 2021 Ørsted accelerates growth to realise its full potential as a global green energy major (GlobeNewswire (Ørsted))

Factual Their own work or organisation

The announcement does not change Ørsted's financial outlook for 2021 or the expected investment level announced for 2021.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

What would count as true or false

True if Ørsted's 2021 financial outlook (EBITDA guidance) and expected 2021 investment level stated after the 2021-06-02 announcement were unchanged from those in force immediately before it, with no revision attributed to the announced matter. Mostly true if guidance was unchanged but a minor wording or classification change occurred that is unrelated to the announcement. Mixed if one of the two (outlook or investment level) was changed because of the announcement and the other was not. Mostly false if both were adjusted shortly afterwards partly due to the announced matter. False if the announcement itself or a direct consequence revised either guidance figure at that time.

Evidence (1)

  1. E1 Company announcement Ørsted · 9 June 2021 Own record

    “The information provided in this announcement doesn’t change Ørsted’s guidance for the financial year 2021. As previously communicated, the expected investment level for 2021 will increase with the purchase price.”

Reasoning

The only evidence, E1, is Ørsted's own 9 June 2021 announcement about completing the Brookfield Renewable Ireland acquisition. It says 2021 guidance is unchanged and that the 2021 investment level will rise with the purchase price 'as previously communicated'. E1 does not identify the 2 June 2021 announcement or say whether any change in outlook or investment level came from it. It is also not independent of the subject, so the evidence cannot settle whether the guidance figures in force before 2 June stayed unchanged because of that announcement.
