What would count as true or false

True if DONG Energy's 2013 annual report states group revenue of about DKK 73 billion, rounding to 73. Mostly true if the reported figure is within about ±3% of DKK 73 billion, or the EUR conversion is slightly off. Mixed if revenue deviates by 3–10%. Mostly false if it deviates by 10–20%. False if it deviates by more than 20%.

Evidence (2)

  1. E1 [PDF] CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DONG Energy / Ørsted (DONG Energy Annual Report 2014) Own record

    “73,105”

  2. E2 ANNUAL REPORT 2013 DONG Energy · 5 February 2014 Own record

    “Revenue, DKK billion (%)1, 2”

Reasoning

E1, the comparative column of DONG Energy's 2014 consolidated financial statements, gives 2013 revenue of DKK 73,105 million on a business performance basis and DKK 72,199 million under IFRS. Both are within about 1% of DKK 73 billion, and DKK 73.1 billion converts to roughly EUR 9.8 billion. E2, the 2013 annual report itself, was garbled and showed no consolidated total, but the criteria point to the company's own reported figure, which E1 confirms.
