Prediction Their own work or organisation

“Net investments for 2014-2015 are expected to be around DKK 30 billion.”

DONG Energy (Ørsted), company announcement February 2014 Announcement of financial results for 2013 - Improved earnings and strengthened capital base (Ørsted (DONG Energy))

DONG Energy expects net investments for 2014-2015 to be around DKK 30 billion.

Mostly false False in substance, right in a detail.

What would count as true or false

Judge on actual reported net investments for 2014 plus 2015 combined. True if the total is within roughly ±10% of DKK 30bn (about DKK 27–33bn). Mostly true if within ±15% (about DKK 25.5–34.5bn). Mixed if within ±25%. Mostly false if within ±40%. False if further from DKK 30bn than that.

Evidence

  1. [PDF] FINANCIAL REPORT FULL YEAR 2015 DONG Energy (Ørsted) investor presentation · 4 February 2016 Own record
    “Gross investments-18,693-15,359Net investments-16,120-4,706”
  2. UK Interim Financial Report 9M 2015 - v7 DONG Energy (Ørsted) interim financial report · 29 October 2015 Own record
    “Net investments of around DKK 35-40 billion are expected for the period 2015-2016”

Reasoning

The FY 2015 financial report [E1] lists net investments of DKK 4,706m for 2014 and DKK 16,120m for 2015, shown as negative cash-flow figures, for a combined total of about DKK 20.8bn. That is roughly 31% below the predicted DKK 30bn, inside the ±40% band and outside the ±25% band, which the criteria rate mostly false. E2 gives an outlook for a different period (2015-2016) and does not change the 2014-2015 total.
