The adjusted operating result fell to 1.74 billion dollars, down from 2.15 billion a year earlier. The decline was unexpectedly large. Analysts had on average counted on 1.80 billion, according to Bloomberg.
The result is also weighed down by a write-down of 955 million dollars of a wind power project in the state of New York, USA – which was first stopped, but then got the go-ahead again, by the Trump administration.
