“Wind Power's EBITDA increased by 74% to DKK 20.6 billion.”

Ørsted February 2018 Annual report 2017 - Strong results support Ørsted's green transformation (Ørsted)

Ørsted's Wind Power EBITDA increased by 74% to DKK 20.6 billion in 2017.

Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

What would count as true or false

True if Ørsted's 2017 annual report shows Wind Power EBITDA of DKK 20.6 billion, up about 74% from 2016. Mostly true if the EBITDA is within ±0.2 billion or the growth rate is within a few percentage points. Mixed if one of the two numbers is materially off. False if both are materially off.

Evidence

  1. Ørsted Annual report 2017 Ørsted · February 2018 Own record
    “Wind Power’s EBITDA increased by 74% to DKK 20.6 billion, of which the farm-downs of 50% of Walney Extension and Borkum Riffgrund 2 accounted for almost half”
  2. [PDF] Ørsted Summary 2017 Ørsted Own record
    “Wind Power’s EBITDA increased by 74% to DKK 20.6 billion, of which the farm-downs of 50% of Walney Extension and Borkum Riffgrund 2 accounted for almost half”

Reasoning

The resolution criteria tie the claim to Ørsted's 2017 annual report. E1, the published annual report itself, states that Wind Power's EBITDA increased by 74% to DKK 20.6 billion, and E2, the 2017 summary report, gives the same figures. Both sources come from the subject, but the criteria name the annual report as the reference, so the claim resolves true.
